RA's Andrew Ryce follows along as the celebrated Brazilian DJ/producer performs his final ISAM show in Los Angeles and preps his new album as Two Fingers.
Despite its bombast, he claims the ISAM tour was much easier than his usual on-the-road efforts. "All the work is done beforehand, all the preparation; it's really about the pre-production and trying to build the content, conceptualizing the show. I have a great group of people who are really supportive, a good gang." Ten people are required to build and disassemble the stage each night and to handle the sound and visuals. "It's not been the most financially astute move I've ever made," he says with a chuckle. "It's a bit of an odd thing; it's not like I'm Lady Gaga or something. It's a massive scale production but it's still very odd music and it doesn't have mass appeal. The costs are very high and we're not getting inundated with sponsors. It's very much from the ground-up." Though when he started the tour he claimed he would take no fees until the project was paid in full, he admits by this point he's broken even.
Risky or not, the tour has been extraordinarily well-received—something that Tobin admits wasn't exactly certain from the beginning. "It isn't dance floor, it isn't live-performance based in a way that is engaging. How do you make something that's visually stimulating but isn't just eye candy? It was a real gamble on everyone's part." ISAM does begin to feel like you're watching a movie or sitting in the cinema rather than experiencing a musical event. It's an interesting about-face from a man that once published the words "fuck the visuals, we're sinking every last penny into the soundsystem" on his website.
"I contradict myself all the time," he says in a measured tone, "I've been doing this for 15 years and what I tried ten years ago is hopefully gonna be different than what I'm trying now. I changed my mind when I had an album that couldn't be danced to; up until that point I could still get away with DJing some of my music. I understand that you're looking at some kind of conflict there, but the fact is that things develop over time. I made a record that I didn't know I was ever going to make, so then I had to think about what to do with that record. It would have been interesting to put everyone in a dark room and make them just listen to the music, but why do that? It was a chance to experiment with something else."
Tobin is an artist whose work has always been highly accessible at its core, mincing acid jazz, IDM and drum & bass, all polished off with an impeccable ear for sound design and slinky melodies. But ISAM is all sound design. Glorious, overwhelming and constructed almost entirely out of non-musical sounds, it's the most obtuse and perhaps most aggressive thing Tobin has ever made. Some tracks have rhythms that are compatible with dubstep and hip-hop, but it's more of an accidental similarity; when you're dealing with the sounds of crumpling metal magnified tenfold, you're going to end up with something boomy. "I didn't think at all about how people would listen to it... I was just exploring the music, for my own personal satisfaction, my curiosity about sound," he explains. Admittedly reticent to discuss his studio setup in great detail, Tobin says that it's a mishmash of hardware and software, including sound tools he designs himself or commissions when he doesn't have the know-how to write the program. The music is as "ground-up" as the visual show.
Cognizant of the relatively undanceable course he has taken, Tobin has since started the Two Fingers project as an outlet for music tailored to the floor, "something that's clearly just me venting." The alias was birthed when Tobin grew concerned that his albums were disjointed. He's right—it would be hard to imagine the field recording spree of Foley Room or ISAM's macroscopic digital surgery folded in with Two Fingers-style pseudo-dubstep or drum & bass workouts without some major cognitive dissonance.
The first Two Fingers album was a full-length collaboration with vocalist Sway, but the new one, Stunt Rhythms, is Tobin himself. "There are beats on the new [Two Fingers] album that go as far back as 2007, 2008. Things that I made and shelved, and then got really into ISAM, only to go back and do another track. I just kept building," he explains. It's hard not to hear the influence of ISAM's world-altering sound manipulation on Stunt Rhythms. These beats shudder and creak with the exacting monstrosity of ISAM's most ferocious moments, feeling a little like dubstep built on an interplanetary scale. The project's focus is much less fastidious, however; "I'm just doing whatever works and banging it out in the process of a day and getting it out of my system." It's an instant-gratification thing.
The material on Stunt Rhythms bears an unavoidable resemblance to some of dubstep's more aggressive moments, all buzzing saw waves and cutting distortion. When I suggest an analogue with Skrillex, Tobin looks at me like I've just insulted his very existence, but he admits that the two may very well be coincidentally utilizing similar sounds. But he's not the dubstep head Stunt Rhythms might suggest. "I only listen to trap music now," he says with a chuckle. "I listen to a lot of stuff, but the things that really excite me are still very production-based," he begins to clarify, "people like Raffertie, ESKMO, Holy Other and Phace." The latter, a German drum & bass producer who runs the Neosignal label along with partner Misanthrop, is actually an even better point of comparison, rip-roaring dance music built to overwhelm. He also expresses admiration for Dutch trio Noisia, boisterous techstep superstars who've found bigger and bigger fame as their destructive sound is magnified to Hollywood proportions.
Though he admits that drum & bass these days is "unfashionable"—a self-conscious term he uses repeatedly throughout our conversations—Tobin admires its still-burning spirit for innovation and invention. "I've been a drum & bass fan since the early '90s. I've always loved the competitiveness of it. One thing about electronic music that excites me is that unlike other genres of music you really can produce a sound that's never been found before, shock your peers with something that's like a puzzle to other producers. 'How did you do that?!' And that constant sort of one-upping. It's the same competitive edge that I felt in early hip-hop as well... from the b-boy scene where people are trying to develop their moves. When someone does something that looks completely impossible and someone else just nails it. It's still very alive in drum & bass. Just because people aren't writing about it [anymore] doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I have faith in that spirit of making music that's looking forward, not trying to be retro or cynical or ironic. It's genuinely trying to do things that haven't been done before. 98% of it is shit, but that's the same with any kind of music."
We roll into the Airliner club at about 11 PM, and it's reasonably full for early on a Wednesday night. But the crowd is mostly college-age guys standing with their arms crossed, occasionally nodding their heads. This seems to unnerve Tobin, who already appears concerned about his music not jibing with the crowd despite his earlier protestations of nonchalance. When MC Nocando announces that he's the "secret guest," however, the crowd's excitement is palpable. Tobin stalks up to the decks and drops a ferocious Two Fingers track, loosening up the crowd who begin to show some semblance of life; by the time the punishing drum & bass hits, they look surprised, but delighted. They're still not dancing, but fists are in the air. Once he steps down from the brutal-but-brief DJ set, he's not exactly happy with the reception, but one gets the sense he's not shocked either. Sometimes crowds are just stiff, and he seems irreverently proud of playing "unfashionable" music, cracking self-deprecating jokes on the balcony between interactions with fans and friends.
be performed live; it's not live music.
At the end of the day, you're
always just triggering something."
Two days later we're sitting in the green room at LA's prestigious Greek Theatre, a gorgeous large-scale amphitheatre in Griffith Park in the northern end of the city, set against greenery and huge cliff faces. He's less concerned about ticket sales, but now he worries about the venue itself—namely, the fact that it's a seated affair. The question of "cinema" rears its ahead again, of active versus passive participation, as he frets about the effectiveness of his banging drum & bass encore in such a setting. The outdoor aspect also makes it harder to control the sound, those beloved low frequencies that Tobin and crew have spent so much time on.
Given that most of the work is "done" and prepared in advance of the shows, sitting with him before he goes on stage, I can't resist asking Amon about the truly "live" aspect of the tour. It's an issue that's becoming more and more relevant in dance music as mainstream ideals of "performance" collide with dance music's increasing commercial attention. His position is pretty hardlined. "I don't think electronic music can really be performed live; it's not live music. At the end of the day, you're always just triggering something. I don't have violins in my cube, I'm triggering violins. Is that live? I don't know. Live, to me, is someone playing an instrument on stage, interacting with other musicians. That's what live means to me. I'm not trying to do that. I remember when Deadmau5 came out with that thing about button-pushing... that whole line of questioning sort of reinforces the idea that what we're doing is creating a product that people can scrutinize—like you're buying a box of cereal and you want to see what ingredients are in it because you've paid for it and you have a say in it—but it's not a product, it's fucking art. You can take it or leave it, I've got no obligation to say what's in the box. Who cares?" People care, I interject. "But people are stupid and greedy," he says wryly.
Tobin disappears and the smooth, melodic strains of Holy Other can be heard wafting through the amphitheater; his small frame standing in front of the giant curtain covering the installation only gives a hint of the sheer scale to come. When the curtain is finally pulled back, there's audible excitement as ISAM's imposing, bizarre structure is unveiled. An uneven, seemingly perpetual series of stacked cubes, it's a marvel of modern projection mapping and visual engineering, simple at its core but mind-bogglingly complex in its execution.
ISAM is an overwhelming sensory experience composed of both concrete and impressionistic imagery. The unwieldy structure is meant to be a spaceship, and the show has a narrative, however loose it might be. "It's not War and Peace, man," Tobin had told me earlier, "it's basically a vehicle for presenting the music. Each track has an affiliated imagery and colour scheme... a ship takes off, and the next track we have an engine room. In between there's a meteorite hitting the ship, and the thing breaks off, and I'm in a little capsule that gets jettisoned off into space... it's a thin narrative, but it's enough to make it work."
Any more detailed and it would have distracted from the music, but as is, the ISAM show features a number of dazzling touches, from timed explosions in the "engine room" to playing with the scale of the stage setup as if it's somehow morphing right in front of your eyes. One of ISAM's best tricks is revealing Tobin at the centre—spacesuit and all—playing with transparency and opacity in the cockpit in a way that feels truly "how the hell are they doing that?" futuristic.
Though the theatre is, as Tobin earlier feared, not entirely full, the audience was unmistakably rapt by the show, oohing and cheering as swathes of green flame erupted across the stage or as a giant animatronic... thing... flailed its hands during "Kitty Cat." I didn't even catch many people leaving during the Two Fingers encore (instead, I was treated to a woman bouncing frantically in her chair and screaming incoherently), and a second encore revealed a new Amon Tobin track more floaty and atmospheric than the gritty destruction of ISAM.
I ask him, now that the tour's over, how he feels about the entire endeavour; two years of touring, mental energy and God knows how much money expended. "It could have been better... and it could have been a lot worse," he says pensively, "I probably wouldn't have tried to take it to places like North Carolina or places where it might have been overextending to try and bring what is a pretty niche sound where they've never heard that before. I don't know if anyone did too well out of that... but I also feel like if I hadn't done it, I wouldn't have known."
He reaffirms his excitement to return home and hole up in the studio, but rather than a temporary diversion or grand experiment, it appears as if ISAM was only the beginning of a new stage in Tobin's career. He has lofty aspirations. "I want to get more into processing sound, and changing the tone and timbre. With ISAM, I took all these things I learned about field recording [with Foley Room] and sound layering and editing, and brought them back into the synthesis realm, synthesizing the sounds and turning them into playable instruments. That's something that hasn't really been done, and it's very exciting to be investigating that, and seeing where that will go. It's a different way of making music and making instruments, and a new way to learn about music as well. I don't see myself landing in an actual spaceship for the next record. It could be a vocal banjo record for all I know. I'm definitely not an advocate of trying to top yourself, getting bigger and bigger and bigger, because where do you end up?"

Every morning, the fine folks at Sports Radio Interviews sift through the a.m. drive-time chatter to bring you the best interviews with coaches, players, and personalities across the sports landscape. Today: Standing by.
Mike Rizzo joined 106.7 The Fan in Washington D.C. with Holden and Danny to discuss the Hamels/Harper situation, Nationals fans, the budding rivalry with Philadelphia, Jayson Werth's comments about the Phillies, if anything's surprising him about Harper and Harper's maturity.
Are you glad you said what you did regarding Cole Hamels?:
"You know, here's what I'm going to say about that: I think I've said plenty about Cole Hamels. I stand by my statement, we've moved on from it and we're not going to talk about it anymore."
Why did you make those comments?:
"We're not going to talk about it. I stand by the comments that I made. I thought it needed to be said, protecting one of our teammates, our family members. … That's what I stand on."
How successful do you think Take Back the Park was for the last series?:
"I thought that the Nationals fans were terrific. I love the fanbase that we have. They're a vocal, vibrant fanbase; they're very baseball savvy. And I thought they were loud and extremely excited. I was fired up about the attendance and energy in the ballpark. And we took two out of three from a really good Phillies team and I was really happy about that."
With everything that went down, is that a brewing rivalry?:
"Well, yeah, they're the defending champs and we want what they already have. I think they're a rivalry, as are the Braves and the Marlins. But the Phillies are the defending champs, so they're the ones that everyone's gunning for in the division and they're the ones we have to overtake to get where we want to be."
Jayson Werth had some outspoken comments about Phillies fans. What did you think about that?:
"Nobody's going to tell Jayson Werth what to say, on the record, off the record. He's a grown man, he's been in baseball his whole life, he's a third-generation big-leaguer and really a real good player. So he can speak for himself. I don't need to address what he thinks. It's a big blow for us because he's our leader on the team, a leader in the clubhouse and our five-hole hitter. … Guys gotta step up until he returns and kind of pick up the slack for him being out."
Are you surprised by anything from Bryce Harper at this point or did you expect all this?:
"I think performance on the field and preparation for the game and baseball instincts and his performance has been true to form. … I do think that the off-the-field stuff has been terrific, the maturity level with the savvy with the media and the impact that he's had on the game is probably a little bit ahead of where I thought he would be. He's been terrific."
On Harper's reaction to being hit and just running down to first and going about his business:
"We always thought of him as a great kid. We always thought he had great makeup from the day we signed him. We've done all the work on him. He's just a terrific young kid, very religious, very family orientated and you never heard anything wrong about this kid off the field. … We're proud of him and proud that he's a National."

Many struggle with trying to achieve a flatter, well-toned tummy. When diet and exercise just don't work, you may want to consider a tummy tuck. Also known as abdominoplasty, a tummy tuck involves removing excess fat and skin, and in most cases restoring weakened or separated muscles. The goal is to create a profile that is smoother and firmer.
A tummy tuck is helpful for people who:
If you're looking for a plastic surgeon in the Frederick , MD area, Dr. Rosenberg is ready to make you feel confident about your midsection. To learn more about the tummy tuck procedure or other body contouring options, contact Dr. Rosenberg today to schedule a complimentary cosmetic consultation.

Also known as abdominoplasty, a tummy tuck involves removing excess fat and skin, and in most cases restoring weakened or separated muscles. By removing excess fat and skin and tightening the stomach muscles, a tummy tuck can be used to create a flatter waist line, improving appearance and increasing self-confidence.
Abdominoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis. Temporary side effects may include pain, swelling, bruising, and numbness. The likelihood of scarring and other risks varies from individual to individual and should be discussed with your doctor. Most patients are able to return to work and light activities in two weeks or less.
If you're considering abdominoplasty, you might be wondering what the difference is between a mini tummy tuck and a full tummy tuck.
In most cases, a mini tummy tuck is only performed on the section of the abdomen below the belly button. In a mini tummy tuck, the goal is to tighten only the lower abdomen.
Whether or not a mini tummy tuck will help you achieve your desired results will depend upon the amount of excess skin and fat present prior to surgery. Our plastic surgeon can help you decide whether a mini tummy tuck or full tummy tuck will serve you best.
In addition to determining whether a tummy tuck or mini tummy tuck is necessary, our plastic surgeon can also recommend tummy tuck procedures with liposuction or lower body lifts for maximum results. Because each person's anatomy and goals are different, meeting with a plastic surgeon for a tummy tuck consultation is always recommended.
At The Plastic Surgery Center, located in Baltimore, MD (just a short drive from Frederick, MD), Dr. Rosenberg can help you determine if abdominoplasty is the best option based on your personal goals. His expertise in abdominoplasty ensures the location and positioning of each incision is carefully pre-planned minimizing the visibility of surgical scars and giving you superior results.
If you live in Frederick, MD and are looking for a plastic surgeon with extensive experience performing tummy tucks, contact us using the form on this page or call us at 410-616-3000 today to schedule a complimentary consultation with Dr. Rosenberg.

Do not despair if your doctors tells you that you have contracted bronchitis. The following ten steps will tell you how to successfully treat bronchitis:
4. If you are planning a visit to cooler areas, remember to cover your nose and mouth with a warm handkerchief. This precaution has to be taken because cold conditions aggravate
5. Pound the patient's back gently while he or she is lying on his or her belly with the body's upper portion in a hanging position. This breaks down or dislocates the phlegm. This procedure is neither comfortable nor safe. However, if done correctly, it is an excellent way of getting rid of the mucus that block the air passages.
High Resolution Computer Tomography - HRCT is a special type of CT scan that is able to provide the doctor with clear imaging of your lungs. An HRCT is performed exactly as a CT scan is, and should only take a few minutes. HRCT's are usually performed on an open air table.
X-Ray - An x-ray of the chest can provide the doctor with a confirmed diagnosis of chronic bronchitis, and allows for ruling out of other lung diseases.
* Constant, productive cough that has more than enough mucus and sometimes has blood in the cough. * Breathing difficulties even those triggered by minor activities.
4. Flu and Pneumonia shots - A person's best defense against getting the flu is the shot. It's given in the arm every year and is as equally as important as getting the pneumonia shot.
3. Frankincense, oregano, and thyme oils help relieve breathlessness. Take two drops of frankincense oil mixed with Ciaga's organic juice thrice a day for three days. At the end of the third day, take oregano and thyme oils in a similar manner. You can even use pleurisy root as an alternative.
7. Use aerosols and inhalers as prescribed by your doctor. Don't increase the dose because it might cause harmful side effects. 8. You may have to take dietary supplements such as colloidal silver, zinc, vitamins C and A, coenzyme Q10, goldenseal, and echinacea. However, before taking anything, consult your doctor.
Consult a doctor if the symptoms last more than a week. If the mucus turns yellow, green, or rust-colored, it is a sign of danger and requires the attention of a physician. Before making any changes to your diet or taking any nutritional supplements, consult your doctor or health care provider. The information provided in the article is to be used along with the usual medication because it, in no way, serves as an efficient substitute for a doctor's treatment or advise.

What is Chronic Bronchitis?
Chronic bronchitis is defined as a long term inflammation or swelling of the bronchi. This can result in heightened production of mucus and may be accompanied by other side effects. To be classified as chronic bronchitis, a harsh cough and expectoration (coughing up of mucus) must occur on most days, for no less than three months of the year, for two or more years in a row. This does not...

What's the most useful piece of mathematical "folk wisdom" you've encountered? I'm talking here about things that aren't theorems, or even conjectures, or even shadows of conjectures -- just broad analogies or slogans that nonetheless tend to be incredibly useful for formulating conjectures, understanding when a line of attack on a problem will or won't work, etc.
The first example that leaps to my mind is the Cramer probabilistic model of the primes, which tends to give astoundingly good predictions for all sorts of things despite being horribly simple.
Oh, right: Community wiki, one tidbit of wisdom per post, please!

Foot & Ankle Medicine: Indispensable Care to Health, Mobility, and Comfort
No department of orthopedics is complete without an experienced, capable foot and ankle service. Aria's podiatry section includes respected surgeons who can deal with needs from the simplest to most complex in foot and lower-extremity care.
Their work ranges from knowledgeable care aimed at regular examination and health maintenance of the foot, to specialized healing of highly complicated, chronic wounds, to reconstructive surgery for complex injuries involving both bone and soft tissue. As needed, the staff makes practiced use of nerve testing and of x-ray, ultrasound, and CT and MR imaging, as well as other radiologic studies, to reliably determine the source of foot and ankle discomfort and dysfunction.
Foot pain and problems are common. Broad factors that can contribute to foot and ankle issues include sports, age, natural bone structure, repetitive activities, poor footwear, obesity, and vascular, metablolic, or neurological disease. Common categories of foot problems that the service works to diagnose and resolve include:
• ulcers and infections;
• fractures;
• arch problems, including metatarsal (front of the foot);
• ball-of-the-foot problems;
• heel problems;
• ankle conditions;
• nerve pain, burning, tingling, or numbness;
• poor circulation;
• plantar fasciitis;
• Charcot's disease (a condition in which collapsed bone and arch structure in the foot causes inflammation and sometimes boney protrusion and fistula);
• Achilles tendon conditions;
• foot or ankle sprains or instability;
• and bunions, calluses, corns, warts, nail conditions, and other common problems of the foot.
The staff always begins care with consideration of nonsurgical approaches that can alleviate or compensate for abnormalities. The goal is to resolve pain, poor ambulation, and risk of complications. Wound care, orthopedic aids, and tissue manipulation can directly improve these conditions, as can counseling on revised activities (especially wait-bearing activities), therapeutic exercises, lifestyle changes and weightloss, and treatment of related medical conditions.
Pain Can Be Resolved
Booting or medical shoes during conditioning or manipulative therapy, after surgery, at other points in care, or over the long term can be very effective in promoting healing and preventing further injury. The staff can advise on, fabricate, or prescribe custom footwear or inserts. Aria podiatrists make skilled use of strapping techniques, orthotics, and physical therapy.
With these and other strategies, the staff can resolve most problems of the painful foot nonsurgically. For those disorders that are resistant to conservative measures, the podiatric staff at Aria Health has a fine reputation in performing highly skilled surgical techniques. Diagnosis and treatment may involve use of arthroscopic procedures, lasers, and other technology. The successful operation can put a patient back on the path of full function, independence, pain-free ambulation, and reduced risk of complications from foot conditions.

The field of Progressive Conservative leadership candidates is winnowing itself down, with a number of potential players taking themselves out of the race.
Conservative Senator Scott Tannas announced Monday he won't run for the Tory leadership — a position that currently comes with the job of Alberta premier — just a week after supporters put up a website aimed at drafting him for the party's top job.
Former PC party president Bill Smith, who had been contemplating a leadership bid, also told the Herald on Monday he's decided not to throw his hat in the ring.
And Calgary MP and junior cabinet minister Michelle Rempel — who had been on many provincial Tories' wish lists — said she won't run for the job.
Rempel said she had been approached by some provincial PC members about a campaign, but is focused on running again federally in the new riding of Calgary Nose Hill.
"I've been asked but I think everybody in Alberta is being asked right now," she said with a laugh from Ottawa.
Rempel said she strives for good relations with both provincial PCs and Wildrose Party members, and plans to stay neutral in the Tory race.
Lethbridge College political scientist Faron Ellis said each of the three candidates would have brought certain strengths to the race, but all had issues that factored against them running.
With former premier Alison Redford pushed out of the leadership in part over issues of entitlement, running as a senator would have been a major drawback for Tannas given the recent scandals in the upper chamber, said Ellis.
Smith would have suffered from a lack of name recognition with the public, he said, while it would make little sense for the 34-year-old Rempel — widely viewed as a federal up-and-comer — to give up a ministerial post to make a run for the politically hazardous job of PC leader.
"Even if you succeed, this could be a short-term gig," Ellis said. "It could be career terminal."
The PC leadership came open with Redford's sudden resignation March 23. A new leader will be selected by party members in September, while Dave Hancock serves in the interim.
A number of provincial cabinet ministers and other politicians have expressed interest in the post, but Ellis said the major question mark for Tories is the decision of a couple of political heavyweights — former finance minister Jim Dinning and, especially, former federal Conservative cabinet minister Jim Prentice.
Ellis said Dinning, who lost in the 2006 PC leadership race, is unlikely to run, but Prentice would be the overwhelming favourite if he enters the contest.
"(Prentice) would immediately attract all sorts of talent and organizational skills and a ton of memberships and he'd be seen as the saviour of the party," he said.
Prentice left the Harper cabinet in 2010 to become vice-chairman of CIBC, and recently accepted a post with Enbridge as the company's point person in dealing with First Nations around the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline.
Prentice has not returned several messages left by the Herald, nor has Dinning.
Smith, a Calgary lawyer who oversaw the last Tory leadership race in 2011 as party president, said Monday he had been weighing a run.
"It wasn't the right time," said Smith, who anticipates he will likely endorse and work for another candidate when the race is underway.
Tannas, a High River businessman who founded Western Financial Group, had been reluctant from the start and said Monday his heart wasn't into pursuing the PC leadership.
"It is going to be a difficult, difficult task, in my view, to undertake all of the things that occur in that job," he said.
"You have party renewal. There is no question that there is a real appetite amongst Albertans to see real change in government. There are folks that have been there a long time that need to go."
Tannas said his friend, Municipal Affairs Minister Ken Hughes, who is openly considering whether to run, is someone to watch.
Justice Minister Jonathan Denis, who is also testing the waters for a leadership bid, said Monday he wasn't surprised the three potential candidates decided not to run, but hopes for a broad field of contenders.
"It will be better if there are more than one or two running, because that will draw support from a lot of different areas," said Denis, who will make a decision after the legislative sitting ends in April.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Paul George had 29 points and 11 rebounds, and the Indiana Pacers held Miami to a season-low point total in an 87-77 win over the Heat on Tuesday night.
George made four 3-pointers to get the best of his matchup with LeBron James. David West added 14 points and 11 rebounds, and Lance Stephenson chipped in with 13 points for the Pacers (21-14), who have won 11 of their last 13 games.
Dwyane Wade scored 30 points and James had 22 points and 10 rebounds for Miami (23-10), which still has the best record in the Eastern Conference.
It was the first time the teams had met since Miami beat the Pacers in six games in the conference semifinals last year.
Miami entered the game leading the NBA in field goal percentage, while Indiana led the league in field goal percentage defense. The matchup resulted in the Heat scoring only 35 points in the second half, their lowest-scoring half of the season.
MILWAUKEE (AP) - Brandon Jennings scored 29 points and Milwaukee gave Jim Boylan a win in his first game as coach with a victory over Phoenix.
The Bucks parted ways with coach Scott Skiles on Monday in what was called a mutual decision, and the Bucks tapped Skiles' top assistant Boylan as a replacement. This is the second time Boylan has succeeded Skiles midseason. He took over the Bulls when Skiles was fired on Christmas Eve in 2007.
The Suns were a perfect opponent, playing poorly in the last few weeks with nine losses in the last 10 games overall to go with a nine-game losing streak on the road.
Goran Dragic scored 21 points and Jared Dudley added 18 for Phoenix.
HOUSTON (AP) - James Harden scored 31 points and Chandler Parsons added 20 to help Houston win its fifth straight with a victory over short-handed Los Angeles.
Houston trailed by as many as 14 in the first half, but used a pair of runs in the third quarter to go on top and build a big lead.
Metta World Peace had a season-high 24 points for the Lakers, who were playing without their top three big men: Dwight Howard, Pau Gasol and Jordan Hill - all out with injuries. Kobe Bryant added 20 for the Lakers and Steve Nash had 16 as they tied a season high with their fourth straight loss.
The Rockets have rallied from double-digit deficits for their last three wins.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Reggie Evans had a career-high 23 rebounds, Deron Williams scored 22 points and Brooklyn improved to 6-1 under interim coach P.J. Carlesimo with a win over Philadelphia.
Evans outrebounded the undersized Sixers 23-22 through three quarters.
Andray Blatche scored 20 points for the Nets, hours after he was questioned by Philadelphia police as part of a sexual assault investigation at an upscale hotel. Blatche was not charged.
He wrote about the incident on Twitter, saying, ``Im ok and I didn't do anything jus was n the area when it happened,'' Blatche tweeted. He later took down the tweet.
Jrue Holiday scored 19 points and Spencer Hawes had 14 for the Sixers.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Nikola Pekovic had 25 points and a career-high 18 rebounds, and Andrei Kirilenko added 21 points to lead Minnesota over Atlanta.
Derrick Williams scored 17 points and Alexey Shved had 15 for the Timberwolves, who were missing coach Rick Adelman due to personal reasons. Terry Porter filled in and led the Wolves to their first victory over Atlanta since 2006, snapping an 11-game skid in the series.
Josh Smith had 21 points and 13 rebounds, and Al Horford had 19 points and 11 boards for the Hawks, who have lost three straight and four of their last five. They lost for the first time this year when Smith and Horford each get a double-double.

Following national controversy over the resignation of a politically conservative actress from the local Spanish-language production of The Vagina Monologues, producer Eliana Lopez announced yesterday that the production has found a replacement.
Actress Alba Roversi, a veteran of the Spanish language Monologos de la Vagina, will take the place of Maria Conchita Alonso, whose departure from the play had Fox News crying foul over her being "forced out" for her conservative political views.
Any chance to needle San Francisco, right?
Roversi starred in over 20 Spanish language soap operas, though she may not have the same name recognition in the US as Alonso, whose filmography includes Predator 2 and The Running Man (with our former Governator). Roversi is in, and Alonso is out.
Alonso stirred the pot when she backed Tea Party gubernatorial candidate Tim Donnely in an ad on YouTube that garnered just over 100,000 hits. Donnely is running a long-shot campaign to unseat the ever popular Jerry Brown this November on a core right-wing platform.
"We're Californians, I want a gun in every Californian's gun safe, I want the government out of our businesses and our bedrooms," he says in the controversial ad, standing in a cowboy hat next to Alonso.
"He has 'big ones,' and he is angry," Alonso says in Spanish, by way of translation.
The ad had San Franciscans fired up, diverting attention away from a performance celebrating women to a political shouting match, Lopez told the Guardian. Threats of boycotts put Monologos de la Vagina in the crosshairs. Alonso told media outlets she stepped down from the play to protect her fellow performers.
The video in question, a campaign ad for Donnely starring Alonso and her dog Tequila.
"The other actors don't have to go through this," she said to Fox News & Friends host Clayton Morris. "They don't deserve this. It's on me only, they can do whatever they want with me."
Why so pissed, San Francisco? Well, the historically Latino Mission district has good reason to not be a fan of Donnely. The Tea Party wunderkind rose to fame as a former member of the gun toting border-patrollers, the Minutemen. From the LA Weekly circa 2010:
"Tim Donnelly took two handguns on his first tour with the Minutemen, back in '05. His Colt .45 was photogenic, like that of an Old West gunslinger. But before heading to the Mexico border, Donnelly took it to the range and couldn't hit the target. So he bought a Model 1911c — a semiautomatic that would shoot straight, if it came to that.
The key to Donnelly's primary election victory was his pledge to introduce Arizona's immigration law here. If elected, he will be Sacramento's leading foe of illegal immigration."
Donnely was geared up to fire off his Colt by the US-Mexico border and essentially promised to bring a culture of fear to California immigrants. Is it a wonder that Eliana Lopez felt that Alonso's endorsement of him didn't quite jibe with the politics of San Francisco?
@SnappyKyle True, and also I'm not what you think I'm. All this is not Brava's fault and is hurting a work from and for us. Time will tell.
— Eliana Lopez (@Elilopezu) January 22, 2014
"Of course she (Alonso) has a right to say whatever she wants. But we're in the middle of the Mission. Doing what she is doing is against what we believe," Lopez, who is also starring in the play, said in her most oft-mentioned quote in national media outlets.
In particular, it didn't jibe with reasons for bringing the Spanish-language Monologos de la Vagina to the Mission's Brava Theater, a message that may be lost in the controversy surrounding Alonso's controversial departure.
It's a time of increasing gentrification, when the city's Latinos/as fear displacement and a loss of their history and esteem. She sees it through the eyes of her young son, Theo, as fewer and fewer Spanish speakers surround his daily life in San Francisco. Lopez wanted to send a clear message: our culture matters.
Latinas are worthy of celebration.
"I've been working on this show for almost a year trying to raise the money, find the venue, the sponsors," she said. "My feeling was, as Latinas we have such beautiful things to offer. We have great actors and actresses who can bring things to the Mission and feel proud of. Inside me I felt, I want to bring that here, I want to do it. We can bring attention to our culture in a beautiful way, a high quality way."
With a new actress in place, she's ready to move beyond the controversy, she said.
"How do you say in English? The show must go on."

Slovenian Potica Rolls (Nut Rolls)
A while back I saw a picture in a Christmas catalog of a very cool looking pastry/coffee cake and I asked here on TFL How did they do this? I got the help that I was looking for from this great community.
I've been experimenting with Cinnamon Rolls now for a while. I am using the term Cinnamon Rolls very loosely here, I guess that a better term would be "Stuff rolled up in dough", however that just does not sound as good.
So basically what I did was to take my Cinnamon Roll Dough recipe and made it into Nut Rolls using the Potica filling. I used JoeV's recipe for the filling (see link above). You might want to follow JoeV's Dough recipe as well, this makes a lot so you may want to make a half batch.
I've now made this twice, once with Almonds and once with Walnuts (Pecans will be my next test and then maybe Hazel Nuts).
So I made my dough as I always do and rolled it out very thin. I put the Potica filling on top. I began rolling up the dough (stretching it even thinner as I roll). I got a big surprise here. The Potica filling was wet where as my Cinnamon Roll filling is dry and things were behaving a lot differently. It was a bit harder working with the dough and rolling it up. When I got all done it felt like I had a tube sock full of mush.
I was stuck with the challenge of trying to slice the rolls and to place them in the pan. I made the cuts quickly and then using the knife blade as a spatula picked up the roll and placed it on the pan. I usually like to make my rows all nice and straight but there was no way that I could do that. I was just happy to be able to scoop them up and place them as best as I could in the pan.
I let them raise in the pan for a while and then baked them the way I usually do for Cinnamon Rolls. Again another surprise, they took longer to bake because of the wet filling. (I know, I'm a slow learner) I left them in until they looked done.
I let them cool for 10 minutes and made a Powered Sugar/Milk frosting. I put this in a zip lock baggie and trimmed off a corner and then just went back and forth over the rolls squeezing out the frosting.
The last surprise was the way that they tasted. They were a lot lighter and moister than my Cinnamon Rolls. The nut filling gave the rolls a great flavor. Beware: these are very rich.
What I will do differently next time:
1. Hold back the milk from the filling and make it less wet. I want to be able shape these like I do my Cinnamon rolls.
2. Bake a bit longer.
3. Make a smaller batch or I won't get any smaller.
Happy Baking, Dwayne

5 Reasons People Who Hate Drugs Should Want to End the Drug War
Many people hate drugs. It is easy to see why. Most families have had a loved one with a problematic relationship to alcohol or other drugs. People who struggle with drug problems can cause incredible pain to themselves and their loved ones. Broken marriages, loss of jobs, incarceration and even dying from an overdose are all possible tragic consequences of serious drug problems.
While it might be counterintuitive, people who hate drugs should be at the forefront of ending our nation's failed drug war. The drug war makes all of the problems mentioned above much worse.
1. Drug War = Mass Incarceration and Lack of Treatment
Let's start with people struggling with drug misuse or addiction. Our drug war doesn't keep drugs out of the hands of people who want drugs; drugs are as plentiful as ever. But getting caught with drugs can land someone in a cage for many years. Spending time behind bars is not the way to help someone who has a drug problem and most likely will make that person more traumatized. The sad fact is that we spend $50,000 a year incarcerating an individual for a drug offense, yet at the same time there is not enough money to offer treatment to people who want it.
2. Drug War = More Overdose and More Dying
People who have lost a loved one to an overdose feel unimaginable pain and often want to wipe drugs off the face of the earth. Tragically, the drug war leads to many such deaths. Despite 40-plus years trying to eliminate drug use, there is an overdose crisis in this country right now. Overdose is now neck-and-neck with car accidents as the leading cause of accidental death in the country. Most people who experience an overdose are with friends when it happens and would survive if someone called 911. But people often don't call 911 because they are too afraid that the police will show up and arrest them. It is outrageous that people are discouraged from calling 911 to save a life because of laws that pit their interest to help a person who is ODing against their fear of being arrested.
Another way to save people who are overdosing is to provide them with an antidote called naloxone, which can reverse the effects and restore normal breathing in two to three minutes if administered following an opioid overdose. Unfortunately our society does not come close to doing enough to make naloxone available to people who use drugs and their friends and families.
3. Drug War = Unsafe Neighborhoods
People who live in neighborhoods where drug dealing is out in the open and therefore are afflicted by the violence associated with the drug trade are some of the most vocal supporters of the drug war. Of course people want and need to feel safe in their neighborhoods. But most "drug-related" violence stems not from drug use, but from drug prohibition. That was true in Chicago under alcohol kingpin Al Capone, and it is true now. The killings and violence in many U.S. cities are not from marijuana or other drug use, but because prohibition makes the plants worth more than gold, and people are willing to kill each other over the profits to be made.
4. Drug War = More Danger for Our Children
Many people may know the drug war is a failure but are afraid to change course because they worry about their children and want to keep them safe. Ironically, the drug war is a complete failure when it comes to keeping young people from using drugs. Despite decades of DARE programs with the simplistic "Just Say No" message, 50 percent of teenagers will try marijuana before they graduate and 75 percent will drink alcohol. Young people often claim it is easier for them to get marijuana than alcohol because drug dealers don't check IDs. Young people also feel the brunt of marijuana enforcement and make up many (and in some places most) of the arrests for marijuana offenses. Arresting young people will often cause more damage than drug use itself. Teenagers need honest drug education to help them make responsible decisions. Safety should be the number-one priority. We have dramatically reduced teen smoking without tobacco prohibition and without a single arrest.
5. Drug Abuse Is Bad, But the Drug War Is Worse
There is no doubt that drugs have ruined a lot of people's lives. It is understandable why many people hate drugs and want to protect their families. But when you look at the greatest harms from drugs, the drug war and prohibition almost always make the problem much worse – and make our families and communities much less safe. We need the people who hate drugs to actively join the movement to end the war on drugs. Because the war on drugs is a war on all of us.

|Investigating the deaths of a heroic cop, a drug dealer, and six-year old boy in a shoot-out, idealistic deputy mayor Cusack uncovers a web of corruption and deceit in the Big Apple. Pacino excels as charismatic mayor John Pappas by showing the crafty string-puller behind the glossy image of the modern politico. Supporting cast is also strong, including Aiello as a Rodgers and Hammerstein-loving Brooklyn boss, and Fonda as the police union lawyer and standard issue love interest. Screenplay was conceived by Ken Lipper, who was once deputy mayor under Ed Koch, but the involvement of three other scripters causes confusion over what type of picture it's aiming to be. Cash-strapped New York rented its actual city hall out for filming at a price of $50,000.

|Kedōin Clan
|(祁答院一族, Kedōin Ichizoku)
|Appears in
|Clan Data
The Kedōin Clan (祁答院一族, Kedōin Ichizoku) is a small clan led by Agari Kaisen.
Its members have the ability to copy someone's appearance, so well that it can't be exposed by ninken. However, they cannot copy techniques and other abilities. After a few days, the clan member who used the technique returns back to normal.
Part I
Buried Gold Excavation Mission
The clan was first introduced when Kiba Inuzuka, Hinata Hyūga and Naruto Uzumaki go on a treasure hunt mission. Agari's servants copied Naruto, Kiba, and Hinata's appearances and left them trapped in the cave while they left to go "mess up their village." The one posing as Naruto gave the real one a hard time and Kiba managed to take down Agari and the Kedōin clan members impersonating him and Hinata. Naruto finally defeated his impostor using the Shadow Clone Technique. Moments later in Tsunade's office, Tsunade revealed that she hired Agari to test the genin's teamwork and to see if they should be sent back to the Academy or not. Naruto, Kiba, and Hinata passed and collected the treasure chest, which contains the bill for Tsunade.

The Progressive Era
In this course, Professor Patrick Newman walks students through the highlights and major themes of Murray Rothbard's recently published book, The Progressive Era. Rothbard's power-elite historical analysis shows how big business, big unions, and big government conspired to cartelize industries in order to further their own interests. Programs and agencies started in the Progressive Era have a destructive legacy that has carried on for a century.
Patrick Newman, in addition to being a professor and former Mises Summer Research Fellow, is also editor of this previously unpublished Rothbard gem. Patrick discusses not only the book's content but also Rothbard's methods of historical analysis and other related materials.
This online course is free, and is designed to be taken along with reading Murray Rothbard's previously unpublished work, The Progressive Era. You can order a paperback or hardcover copy of The Progressive Era from the Mises Bookstore or access the ebook for free. Please consider a donation to help support the creation of more courses!

3 Green Travel Tips
From CNN - Take steps to reduce your carbon footprint whether you are commuting to work or taking a vacation.
1) Don't drive alone:
We don't advocate picking up hitch-hikers, but car-share schemes and car pools are good ways to get the most out of your car journey.
According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, if every car carried one more passenger during its daily commute, 32 million gallons of gasoline would be saved each day. Fact: The average car produces 4500 kilograms of greenhouse gas emissions per annum. (Australian Department of the Environment).
2) Walk or cycle when you can:
You don't need to be told about the obvious health benefits, but walking or cycling can give you greater benefits, like providing time to think or relax or unwind while doing a gentle activity. You also engage more with the place where you live.
3) Don't fly if you don't have to:
Many environmental groups call aviation the biggest climate killer, while those in the aviation industry say they only produce 4 percent of global CO2 emissions.
Either way, flying pollutes and the best thing you can do is take responsibility for your own carbon footprint from flying. Fact: A return trip from London to Hong Kong creates 2,810 kilos of carbon dioxide. (Source: climatecare.org)
See the article on CNN here.
Travel by train consumes less CO2 than flying and can often mean using less intermediate transport like cars or taxis as stations tend to be in city centers.

When you are making a donation, purchasing a product, expressing an interest in referring a wish child, contributing to our guest book, or subscribing to our online newsletter, Make-A-Wish asks you for personal contact information such as your name, mailing address, phone number and e-mail address. We may use this contact information to provide you with a receipt or financial report; to contact you to clarify or obtain information about an order you placed, a donation you made, or a wish child you have referred; or to send you additional information about Make-A-Wish.
If you make a donation, we may contact you from time to time (by a staff member or volunteer - we do not use outside vendors to communicate with donors nor do we engage in telemarketing to offer you an opportunity to make another gift, or to offer services from third parties that will directly benefit Make-A-Wish. We will always give you the opportunity to opt-out of future communications from us.
From time to time, Make-A-Wish rents or exchanges its list of supporters with other trusted organizations to benefit our programs and activities. We have found this to be the most cost-effective method of reaching additional potential constituents and hope you value the information they send you. Your name is only made available to these carefully screened organizations through third-party mailing agents for a limited use. Such organizations will not have continued access to your name and address unless you choose to respond to their initial mailing. You have the opportunity to have your name removed from a list rental or exchange (we only rent/exchange direct mail lists) by writing to us at 1702 E. Highland Avenue, Suite 400, Phoenix, AZ 85016.
Personal contact information may also be shared with certain vendors, i.e., reputable companies we use for services such as shipping Make-A-Wish products or sending Make-A-Wish mail. We have confidentiality agreements in place with all such companies to protect your privacy. Finally, in some cases when you wish to refer a child, make a donation to your local chapter, or ask for local chapter information, your contact information may be passed on to your local chapter.
In addition to personal contact information, we ask for billing information, such as your billing address and credit card number, when you make a donation or purchase a product. We use secure servers to gather and process your billing information. These secure servers are hosted by our agent, CharityWeb, which is bound by our site policies. Your billing information is not shared with any other organizations, and your credit card number is not retained once your transaction has been authorized and processed.
All financial transactions on our website, specifically donations and purchases, are managed through our agent, CharityWeb, which is TRUSTe certified. All transactions use an encrypted channel, take place on secure servers and occur in real time. No financial data, such as your credit card number, is transferred via a less-secure channel, such as encrypted e-mail, for processing. Moreover, once your transaction has been completed, your credit card number is not retained.
In some instances, we ask for contact information for people other than yourself including, for example, e-mail addresses of friends to whom you send e-cards or a copy of one of our Web pages, or the mailing address of someone you wish us to notify of a donation you have made. The information we collect is used to send the donation notification or information you requested and/or to inform the recipient of the opportunity to subscribe to receive Make-A-Wish updates, wish stories and opportunities to get
involved. Such contact information is not shared with any other organizations nor is it added to any mailing list without the recipient's explicit consent.
If you do not wish to participate in our list rental or exchange activities, or if you wish to modify the frequency of future communications from Make-A-Wish, please write to us at our headquarters or e-mail address below.
Also, with the exception of credit card numbers, which are not retained, you can view and request changes to all the information you have given us, including any mailing lists you may be on, by contacting us.

Downton Abbey's Season 3 Finale: Shocking, Says PEOPLE's TV Critic
So ended a terribly sad season on Sunday night – and now to look forward to season 4
Downton Abbey's third season finale on PBS's Masterpiece was, to say the least, a spoiler's paradise. The episode, which saw the Granthams and servants going on holiday in the Scottish Highlands, started on a joyful note – Lady Mary was pregnant! – and ended with a shock that would have knocked the hat off Lady Violet's wobbling head.
SPOILER ALERT: Major plot points to be revealed immediately.
Cousin Matthew (Dan Stevens) died in a car accident. He was driving back to Downton, so happy he was practically whistling, just after Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) had given birth to their son – the male Downton heir everyone has been so obsessed with since Season 1.
Many viewers probably saw this coming: For one thing, Stevens had said he was thinking of decamping before season 4 started shooting. And after the finale had its premiere broadcast in Britain in December, he blabbed all about it, including for an interview posted online by The New York Times.
Even so, the death was almost sadistically abrupt and arbitrary, especially after the soft tenderness and growing love between Mary and Matthew in recent episodes. Now we saw dead poor Matthew dumped on the cold mossy ground, eyes wide open.
You can never be sure Downton writer-creator Julian Fellowes won't pull some shameless stunt to kick-start a story – in season 2 Matthew, paralyzed during the war, suddenly leaped out of his wheelchair – but he seemed to want us to be sure that Matthew was 100% gone. I wouldn't have been surprised if the car backed over the corpse.
So ended a terribly sad season of Downton.
We already suffered the loss in childbirth of Lady Sybil (Jessica Brown Findlay). Her deathbed scene was unflinching and deeply moving as she gasped for breath and called for help. Her poor mother (Elizabeth McGovern) sobbed in despair, and the doctors couldn't agree on what to do.
Millions of viewers cried, too, and sighed for a long time afterward. Those who didn't are probably evil.
That scene was the heart of the season: Sybil was so beautiful and kind and gracious and spirited, and so different from her fractious sisters. It was if one were to discover a rare, transcendent soul among the Kardashians. Her death robbed the show of a lovely presence, and also brought out the best moments yet from McGovern and Maggie Smith, as Lady Violet.
It never ceases to annoy me, to be honest, that Lady Violet's feeble witticisms are treated as if they were Oscar Wilde one-liners on loan, like Harry Winston jewels. If you want real witticisms, try any contemporary American sitcom, including FX's Archer.
But this season, as Violet grieved, we saw how much depth Smith can invest in a single moment. At one point in the finale, she looked up as dinner was announced, and in her enormous eyes you saw a woman who wished she could just chuck the whole damn thing and dwell on her memories.
I wish I could say I will miss Matthew, but all in all an unattached Lady Mary is better than a married one. She was never sexier than in the first season, when she sneaked off to bed with velvety, sensual Mr. Pamuk, who unfortunately kicked the bucket while they made love.
Mary is a wonderful creation – the show's most original, complex character – capable of bouncing from romance to sorrow to sarcasm. You could say her love for Matthew transformed her, but it also had the potential to dull her.
Matthew was blandly handsome and good and patient and full of improving notions, but not terribly exciting. He was like a Bachelor from a much earlier period.
There isn't much else to say about the finale. Fellowes worked through a number of plots with his usual tangy glibness. The performances were all delightful, tart, full of emotion, humor and regret.
For now, we can look forward to Lady Mary at her most beautiful, because most woeful, in season 4.
