Where to buy a djembe: Most good music stores and many Web sites, like bangadrum.com, now carry them. Prices for the drums, which weigh as much as 20 pounds, range from $50 to $300. What to look for: The best drums are made from solid, seasoned wood–the harder the better. It should be free of cracks or tiny holes bored by insects, which will chomp your furniture just as eagerly....
“Around midnight, while on duty at one of the checkpoints in the city of Kyiv, servicemen of the National Guard of Ukraine noticed a car trying to drive through the checkpoint at high speed,” the military unit stated, according to Ukraine’s Pravda media outlet. “At the request of the servicemen, the driver did not stop, which caused him to run into anti-tank hedgehogs and the means to forcibly stop the vehicle....

Conveniently, the models all live together in a Malibu beach house, a dysfunctional sorority occasionally visited by their Models, Inc., agency president and den mom Hillary Michaels (Linda Gray). She’s got her manicured hands full. Her son and VP David (Brian Gaskill) has a thing for corn-fed Sarah (Cassidy Rae), who’s rapidly losing her Iowan innocence. Waif Linda (Teresa Hill) is plagued by an evil boyfriend. Teri’s older sister Carrie (Carrie-Ann Moss) is over the hill....
But that’s not typical. The 99.9 percent of Russians who are not on Moscow’s high-culture circuit will have a very different set of cultural experiences: they can enjoy a television gala called “Girls of the Military,” a novel kind of beauty-and-talent show that promises to add tanks and aircraft to the usual mix of bikini parades and contestants’ mini-biopics. There’s also the Russian version of the game show “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” and a selection of shows featuring washed-out old Soviet-era singers, interspersed with news reports that feature endless coverage of President-elect Dmitry Medvedev’s daily visits and speeches....
It’s not for the faint of heart. With J.T. Miller down in front of the net, Byfuglien decided to cross-check him in the back of the neck as he was lying on the ice. Miller wasn’t injured, but no penalty was called, which is sure to set New York fans off. (Source: SB Nation)
But Johnson had also never led by as many as the four shots he held above the field at this out-of-time November Masters. He entered Sunday with a chance to shoot the best four-round score in Masters history, too. When it comes to blown leads at majors, Johnson’s 2010 collapse at the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach comes immediately to mind. Johnson began to change that narrative Sunday, though, closing out a record-setting Masters for his second major victory and first protected 54-hole lead....
The Jonze DVD is surely the prize of the bunch. For the first time, the “Adaptation” director’s hilarious, high-concept videos–including his man-on-fire clip for Wax’s “California,” the guerrilla galleria dance show for Fatboy Slim’s “Praise You” and, of course, the coolest video ever made, Christopher Walken’s soft-shoe showstopper for “Weapon of Choice”–are gathered in one place. But the true grace of the series is the spotlight it shines on the two less heralded, but no less talented, mavericks....
As host of “Saturday Night Live” this weekend, Johnson got back to his wrestling roots — well, sort of. In a WWE-themed sketch, Johnson starred opposite cast member Bobby Moynihan as wrestlers Koko WatchOut (a play on WWE Hall of Famer Koko B.

Wade hasn’t played in at least 70 regular season games since the 2010-2011 season, and his minutes have dipped in each of the last three seasons. But that is not a sign of his decline as much as it is a way to stretch out his career.

It’s Dwyane Wade’s jersey number. It’s the number of NBA championships he has won and where the future Hall of Famer ranks in the pecking order of the league’s greatest shooting guards ever, behind only Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. It’s also how many big plays he made for the Heat in the final 46 seconds of their 97-90 road win against the Hornets on Friday night, saving his team’s season and knotting the Eastern Conference series at three games apiece....
Dyche is the third-longest serving manager in the Premier League, behind his Clarets predecessor Eddie Howe - now at Bournemouth - and Arsenal’s Arsene Wenger. The 46-year-old marked five years in charge of Burnley last October and, should he stay to the end of his new deal, he will have been at Turf Moor for a decade. But Dyche believes he still has more to offer the club, after leading Burnley to two promotions from the Championship and keeping them in the Premier League last season....
Since then he has taken multiple roles in the franchise, much like his fellow co-stars. But it is Ben he has returned to the most, first in the show’s eighth season, “Apocalypse,” and most recently in spin-off American Horror Stories in the finale “Game Over.” It may have been a decade since he originally portrayed the character, but to McDermott it feels like only yesterday that he first stepped out on the set of “Murder House....

Rose split the Miami Heat double-team at the top of the key, then skied around the defense in the lane for his first points of the 2013-14 season. The explosiveness is what most wanted to see from Rose in this season opener, and he delivered it only 1:30 into the first quarter.
On Monday, DeSantis signed a new law recognizing Hatzalah of South Florida as an official Florida Medical Emergency Service. “In South Florida, they have a fleet of vehicles, communications networks and trained emergency medicine professionals to provide volunteer ambulance services, however, current Florida law did not recognize any ambulance providing volunteer services as an authorized emergency vehicle,” DeSantis said at The Shul of Bal Harbour. “This bill that I’ll sign today ensures faith-based, volunteer, first responder services, like Hatzalah, can operate in our state,” he added....
