App drawers suck. Okay, that may not be universally true, but for the sake of this hands-on, lets all agree on this premise. Once we install apps from the Play Store, it takes way too long to find them, and once we're done, it can be bothersome trying to remember which app we installed before that one. After a couple of months, that clean app drawer can grow to become six, seven, and even eight pages long.
When it comes to beautifying your phone, most of the options involve complicated modding procedures, installing sketchy software, or spending entirely too much time shuffling through configuration screens. Sometimes, all we need is a low maintenance option that does the hard work for us. To that end, Sparky Lock Screen is determined to deliver an ultra-fast, incredibly simple lock screen replacement that looks great without making you work for it.
Simplicity is obviously the driving force behind Sparky.
Here at Android Police, we love us some Reddit apps, almost as much as we love the gaming cat meme cakes our Libertarian Atheist girlfriends make us from locally-farmed flour. We featured Reddit Now way back in January, and since then the developer has made some noteworthy changes as the app has updated to version 2.0. The app has been slavishly dedicated to Holo standards since its launch, but the new version includes a Google Now-style card interface, not to mention a reworked look on tablets.
Remember that one Star Trek space battle scene? You know, the one where the captain is wiggling around in his chair while the camera shakes, and all the bridge officers are shouting things at him? "Hull breaches on decks five through eight!" "Reversing the shield polarity, sir!" "We're running low on self-sealing stem bolts!" You know.... every Star Trek space battle scene? Now there's an Android game that captures the feel of a space battle from the perspective of the shouting bridge crew.
If you've owned a Samsung device in recent years, then you're likely at least somewhat familiar with the Media and Music hubs, Samsung's exclusive music and movie stores. There's a good chance that you may have never used either of the pair, but if you have, Samsung is making some changes that are essentially going to cannibalize both apps for the Samsung Hub, which consolidates all of Samsung's current stores into one app.
Welcome to the latest entry in our Bonus Round series, wherein we tell you all about the new Android games of the day that we couldn't get to during our regular news rounds. Consider this a quick update for the dedicated gamers who can't wait for our bi-weekly roundups, and don't want to wade through a whole day's worth of news just to get their pixelated fix. Today we've got a startlingly realistic skateboard game, a proud dungeon crawler, and a super-sized take on Rock, Paper, Scissors.
Kerosene Games hasn't yet published many games for Android, but their titles definitely grab our attention. Their last title, Bladeslinger, was an action-RPG with highly-attractive visuals that were only somewhat held back by repetitive gameplay and in-app purchases. Their next title, Bounty Arms, is available now, and it looks perhaps even more impressive. This 3D side-scroller puts you in control of three characters across 10 beautiful levels that may just have you do a double-take.
I've gone on record that zombie games are the bane of the mobile landscape, the interactive equivalent of the buddy cop movie: creatively bankrupt, innovative as a brick, and now only rarely entertaining. I'm inclined to stay my hatred for all things green and groaning on this one occasion, if only because the source material is still relatively pure. The Walking Dead: Assault is a squad-based strategy game, born from the same comic book series as AMC's monster hit TV show (but not the show itself).
One of the better recent additions to the Chrome browser is a remote desktop tool, developed and implemented by Google and usable between any two desktop computers running Chrome. When it showed up in the Chrome Web Store, we figured that it wouldn't be too long before some kind of Android integration was developed. Googler François Beaufort announced that work has begun on "Chromoting," an Android app that allows users to control remote Chrome clients.

The Evening Muse
3227 N. Davidson St.
Charlotte, NC
Doors 7:00 PM / Show 8:00 PM
Grammy nominated, Dove Award winning Jennifer Knapp returns from a seven year hiatus with a new album, Letting Go (Graylin/RED/Thirty Tigers) on May 11th 2010. Recorded in Nashville, Letting Go is produced by Paul Moak (Mat Kearney, Martha Wainwright, Amy Grant) and features ten intimate folk, country tinged rock songs showcasing her astonishing straightforwardness and spirituality. Knapp's impressive history includes selling over one million albums with her previous releases Kansas (debut 1998), Lay It Down (2000), and The Way I Am (2001). The Kansas-born musician toured the globe with artists such as Jars of Clay and was featured on 1999's Lilith Fair tour. Knapp received critical acclaim with The Los Angeles Times calling her "a rising star" and People Magazine describing her as "an uncommonly literate songwriter." Jennifer went on to win her first Dove Award in 1999 for Best New Artist, scored a Grammy nod in 2002 and another Dove nomination in 2003. With a considerable fan base, critical and commercial successes, Knapp walked away from it all at the height of her career. After seven years of soul searching and time spent in Australia, Knapp comes full circle in 2010 with a new album, new tour and a renewed love of music. This spring she will preview her new music on a co-headline tour with Derek Webb kicking off on March 5th in New York City. She will play on the re-vamped Lilith Fair tour, the first one in 10 years. Since Jennifer played on the last one in '99, being asked to play the re-launch is very special, a reminder of why Jennifer came back to her musical roots.

Dear Leanna,
Descendants of my Adsit line went to Grant Co Indiana also. Mary Ann Adsit, my direct line died in Delaware Co Indiana. One of her brothers had a son Ranselar Adsit. My Adsit genealogy lists only one child for Ranselar
Richard b. 1833 which I figure is about the right time for your Harriet.
I thought this might me a hint for you. I have no idea if he lived in Grant Co Indiana.
He married a Margaret Thompson. I have no dates for either of them.

Dr. Peter Dombi is now leader of a new MPQ partner group in Budapest
Dr. Peter Dombi
(Photo: MPQ)
The Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics has a new research partner group at the Wigner Research Centre for Physics, which is part of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in Budapest. Dr. Dombi's research group will work together closely with the Laboratory for Attosecond Physics (LAP) of Prof. Ferenc Krausz at the MPQ for the next three years.
Dombi's team is working on ultrafast interactions of electron collectives in solid states with light, processes which take place within femtoseconds to attoseconds. A femtosecond is a millionth of a billionth of a second (10 to the minus 15), an attosecond is even a thousand times shorter.
In 2013, Prof. Krausz and his team were able to demonstrate for the first time that it is possible to control electrical and optical properties of solid states by using the electrical fields of light. Scientists were now able to turn electric current on and off by using light.
Furthermore light signals could be controlled with the frequency of visible light which oscillates a million times a billion (10 to the 15) per second. Dr. Dombi and his group in Hungary will continue the research on the basis of this knowledge. They will mainly concentrate on ultrafast nanoplasmonic phenomena.
In the field of nanoplasmonics physicists investigate the behaviour of collectives of electrons in solid states of nanometre size, for example metallic nanoparticles. When these collectives are excited by light they generate electric fields at the surfaces. Understanding these light-steered phenomena will help to pave the way towards "light-wave electronics" which operates at frequencies about 100,000 times faster than today's techniques.
The Max Planck Society is presently related to more than 40 partner groups worldwide. These relations serve as basis for a collective support of young scientists in countries which are interested in research via international cooperation. These countries are, e.g., India, China, Middle and Eastern European as well as South American countries. After three years the work of a group will be evaluated and can be extended up to five years, if the evaluation comes to a positive result.
The Wigner Research Centre for Physics is the largest physics research institute in Hungary with more than 350 employees and 40 research groups. More than 50 years ago, the first laser has been constructed in Hungary and ever since optics and light-matter interactions have been very important elements of the research program. Now, due to this new cooperation with the MPG an important line of research will be added to this program. Thorsten Naeser

Originally written on Big Giants Boom | Last updated 11/14/14
Martellus Bennett (Photo by david_shankbone, used under Creative Commos License) Jim Mancari BGB Assistant Editor New Giants tight end Martellus Bennett was once a Dallas Cowboy. Now he's a New York Football Giant, and he wasn't afraid to discuss his "hatred" of his former team. Bennett said he had some ill feelings towards the Cowboys. He served as Pro Bowl tight end Jason Witten's back-up, so the opportunities were not too frequent to contribute on the field. I'm very excited to see that Bennett was that fired up on just the first day of training camp. He seems eager to prove that he can be a productive target in Eli Manning's aerial attack. In sports today, it seems that camaraderie is all too common amongst members of opposing teams. Definitely in baseball and basketball, we always see opposing players talking during down time in play. Back in the old days, opposing players really didn'...

Thursday, November 13, 2014
The United States and China on Wednesday announced ambitious targets on greenhouse gas emissions as part of a "historic" pact that climate scientists acclaimed but U.S. Republicans denounced as a job-killer.
China's largest Internet retailer rang up more than US$9 billion during the country's biggest online shopping holiday, smashing last year's figure to set a record for a single day of sales.
China's new stealth jet fighter rocketed skywards Wednesday as Beijing puts on an unprecedented display of openness — and military force — at the country's premier airshow.
U.S. President Barack Obama said Wednesday that the U.S. had no role in fostering pro-democracy protests that have shut down parts of Hong Kong for six weeks, denying allegations in Chinese state media.
Wednesday, November 12, 2014
President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping sought to play down points of tension between their two nations Wednesday, unveiling a flurry of agreements on climate change, military cooperation and trade, while casting their own burgeoning relationship as candid and productive., 1 Comment
The United States and China have "reached an understanding" on an agreement to reduce tariffs on information technology trade, the White House said Tuesday, in what Washington called a boost to World Trade Organization (WTO) efforts to slash trade duties.
Hong Kong bailiffs and police are planning to take action at pro-democracy protest sites in the city as pressure grows on demonstrators to leave, the government said Tuesday.
President Barack Obama opened two days of talks Tuesday with Chinese President Xi Jinping at a sprawling garden compound next to the Forbidden City, telling the Chinese leader he wants to take the relationship "to a new level."
U.S. President Barack Obama named a shady group linked to attacks in China's mainly Muslim far west as he called for cooperation with Beijing on anti-terror efforts in an interview with Chinese state media.
All the sky-clearing measures plus cooperation from the weather kept Beijing relatively free of air pollution for most of a seven-day Asia-Pacific conference. Then, toward the end as top leaders met, the smog crept back.

Ahnu — Shoes Inspired By Dance
If you are the outdoor activity type, you may have already heard of this company's shoes–they make hiking boots, trail runners and other performance footwear. Starting out in the San Francisco Bay area in 2007, three founders got together and created a shoe line that reflected the name that they chose for it: Ahnu.
Ahnu is the Celtic goddess that embodies the balance between well-being and prosperity. To that end, not only has the company succeeded in doing well in the industry, but they have also donated over $250,000 to charitable causes–something they plan to continue doing.
The "Zen" and "Karma" shoes are among Ahnu's latest efforts, and they were inspired by dance. Here's a closer look at both:
The Zen ($80) is a luxe leather slide with a sculpted EVA footbed. I recently wore a pair of these around town for a week, and I'm here to tell you that they are quite comfortable. Although they are casual, they are dressier than flip-flops, but just as easy on the feet, with a little added protection for tender toes. (Note–for the record, they have a toe-seperator like flip-flops do, so those who just don't like that feeling may want to think twice before purchasing a pair.)
I found these shoes to be incredibly light–kind of like Crocs, but ever so much more stylish. And they are available in black, garden green, plum and smokey brown, so there is plenty of variety.
The other shoe they have is the Karma ($90). Made from soft, supple, full-grain leathers, these flats are good for all day wear. The stretchy back heel provides a secure fit and they don't take up much room in a travel bag. The sculpted EVA footbed is wrapped in micro-fiber suede to offer a soft feel with every step. These shoes are available in black, mood indigo, plum and garden green.
I liked the Zen shoes…they felt more like slippers. The only thing I own that is as comfortable is my (well broken in) pair of cowboy boots. But wearing those in the summer isn't exactly practical…

Top Dance Apps Of 2012
Today we have a guest post by Jane Johnson who is going to share 5 fun dance apps she has come across…
Salsa, break dance, tap dance, ballet, tango, cha-cha-cha, swing dance…even though there are hundreds of different types of dance, dancers represent a true niche market audience as far as smart phone apps go. However, did you know that novice and veteran dancers alike can use their mobile devices to look up how to do a proper shoulder groove in break dancing as fast as they can check movie times?
When my daughter first started ballet 5 years ago, I never anticipated downloading smart phone apps for her to use between rehearsals. However, the dance apps that are available for mobile devices are really quite impressive.
As the mom of a prima ballerina (at least in my eyes), here are the top dance apps of 2012:
Ballet Teaching Aid: Words Of The Week
One of the advertisers on 4dancers is selling a new product that I thought I would share with readers today…"Words of the Week".
This calendar-style visual aid can help ballet teachers reinforce terminology and help visual learners absorb more easily. Hang in the studio and use to refer to when teaching a new step, or use to theme out the week. There are many different ways to incorporate this neat resource into the classroom. The pages are high gloss card stock, so they should hold up for a long time.
Perfect for the dance studio owner, and good for teaching children of all ages.
Perfect for dance studios, teacher gifts, or any dancer.
This visual aid hangs like a spiral bound calendar and displays over
Hang the perpetual display prominently in your studio and
Students absorb their terminology much faster when they have a

Review: Artistry In Motion by Lisa Harris
It really is a joy to be able to listen to ballet class music that is arranged by someone who has been doing it for such a long time. It's something I think of every time I hear one of this lady's CDs.
Lisa Harris is known for her musical work in the ballet classroom, both as a pianist and as an artist who releases CDs for ballet class (as well as digital music). "Artistry in Motion" is an excellent example of why she is so well-regarded in the field.
Selections here include favorites such as an adagio from Swan Lake, slow tendu music from Bach and a minuet from Mozart. Harris has a knack for selecting composers that mesh well with a particular exercise, and her command of the piano insures that they are played flawlessly. This makes for a CD that is wonderful for both the teacher and the students in the classroom.
This album has 26 (repeated) tracks for the barre and 16 for the centre. Other composers that are included in the mix here include: Schubert, Beethoven, Vivaldi, Handel, Verdi and Adam.
Interested in this album, or in seeing more of what Lisa Harris has to offer for the ballet classroom? Visit her site. For those who are making the switch to digital music–she has options for you as well.0
Review: Every Step You Take by Jock Soto
by Catherine L. Tully
I'm fascinated by the lives of dancers. Even though I was one, I can never seem to get past the fact that each of us has such a distinctly different path–and a totally unique perspective on what it is like to live this life.
Because of that, I was excited to read Every Step You Take, a memoir written by Jock Soto (with Leslie Marshall). After all, this is a man that I grew up watching in the ballet world. Soto was a principal dancer with NYCB when he retired at the age of 40, and this book begins with the end of his career on stage. A peek inside the thoughts and fears that swirl around one's head when the final performance looms, I thought it was a great opener.
Where, I thought, will this book go from here?0
Review: Variations by Lisa Harris
This is a CD by the well-known ballet pianist, Lisa Harris. Variations features some unique tracks, adapted for piano, including:
Seasons/Elton John
History of Us/Indigo Girls
Save the Best for Last/Waldmen
'Til There Was You/Willson
The Rose/Midler
Piano Man/Joel
And many others, including classical composers, Tchiakovsky and Delibes. Played expertly by Harris, there are tracks for both barre (19) and centre (20). If you are looking for a ballet class music CD with lots of variety, this is it.
The music here can be used for classes at all levels. I'm sure adults would appreciate the selections, but the music would work for any age group. If you haven't heard Ms. Harris play before, know that she has plenty of experience–and many other CDs to choose from, as well as digital downloads available. Look for more reviews of her music on 4dancers soon.
Visit her site for more information and for samples of the music.0
Review: "Dancing Keys" by Gill Civil
This is one of two ballet class music CDs by Gill Civil. Keep an eye out for the other review, coming up soon.
"Dancing Keys" has 28 tracks–all original works that were played and composed by Civil. I really do love the original ballet class music CDs. I think it adds another level of artistry to the class environment to use compositions that were created with this particular dance form in mind. Adapted pieces are fine–and many people like them. I just prefer original work.
I believe this would be a perfect CD for an adult ballet class or beginner/intermediate class. The music is clear and metered, and the selection is good. The reason I wouldn't use it for an advanced ballet class is because the barre is on the short side. Other than that, it is appropriate. Tracks are of adequate length–neither too short, nor too long.
The centre music is plentiful, with tracks that include sautes, allegro, waltz, gavotte and adage. I found the music inspiring and beautiful. I think it is such a challenge to come up with tracks that have heart in them, and Civil is able to do so. She has quite a background in the field, having played for schools and companies in New Zealand, Canada and Australia–she's no newbie to this type of music and it shows.
If you would like to hear samples of the music on "Dancing Keys" or if you want to purchase a CD to use for teaching, visit her website.0

Pie cart's demise helps lower crime - police
Relevant offers
Alcohol-related disorder in Alexandra has "dipped very strongly" and has been linked to people under the influence of alcohol being unable to congregate at the Alexandra pie cart.
At a Vincent Community Board meeting in Alexandra this week, Central Otago sub-area commander Ian Kerrisk said crime rates in Alexandra were following a national trend and decreasing.
Police had noticed a decrease in disorder and wilful damage since the pie cart had ceased to operate, he said.
The pie cart was destroyed by fire on May 11 when a fryer on board exploded after it over heated because of a fault with its thermostat.
By the time firefighters arrived at the scene, in Centennial Ave outside the Central Stories Museum and Art Gallery, nothing could be done to save the cart.
Disorderly behaviour incidents had dropped from six in July last year to none last month, and wilful damage incidents had dropped from five to two in the same period.
Because of the nature of the business and its opening times, it was a magnet for people after they had been at licensed establishments in the town, Mr Kerrisk said.
People drinking at the different establishments would meet at the pie cart after closing time, and alcohol mixed with different personalities meant it was not always a good outcome, he said.
Since the cart had gone, people were going straight home after the pubs closed but the decrease in crime could also be linked to the colder weather, he said.
After the meeting, Alexandra pie cart owner Lynne Giles said it was an "unfair assumption" that the decrease was because the pie cart was not there.
"There was no crime around the pie cart. It was never actually at the pie cart." She said the town died in winter.
Mr Kerrisk said while there had been a drop in adult offending in the town, youth drinking was on the rise.
There was a rise in the number of people under the age of 18 being found in public places possessing alcohol, and police had been tipping alcohol out and giving warnings to those caught, he said.
However, the message was not getting through.
More $200 instant fines would be handed out to under-18s caught breaking the liquor ban and police would be taking a hard line, he said.
Ms Giles said she had predicted youth crime would rise. When the pie cart was operating, youth had a place to congregate.
Despite it being 14 weeks since the fire, Ms Giles said she was still waiting to hear from the insurance company.
A decision on whether the pie cart would be rebuilt was "totally out of our hands" and would not be made until the insurance company made a decision, she said.

Score from 215 reviews Very good
The hotel was close to Little Italy and the port area.
Breakfast was limited in the choices you had.
Big rooms and comfortable environment, with helpful staff and airport shuttle.
They were renovating the ground floor when I was there which wasn't so bad but didn't know when I booked. The whole hotel probably needs an overhaul as it has an 'old' feel, but with big, clean, comfortable rooms it is fine. While pretty close to central San Diego being a bit out from the centre there are a lot of homeless people on the streets around, and I think solo female travellers or families may find it a bit off putting coming back at night or late as while I had no problems it could be intimidating. (Not a hotel problem, but one common to much of California of course).
friendly personnel good rooms nice gym (at Broadway) free Airport shuttle
Location. A great room with a view on the ocean. Most acceptable breakfast that was included in the price. Free shuttle to the airport.
The checking-in procedure a bit confused. Had the impression that staff was new and not too experienced.
really enjoyed stay, very close to restaurants in Little Italy and hop on off trolley bus room great and staff very pleasant and helpful
thought the breakfast was only fair
Prime location, short walk to Gaslamp. Came to San Diego for a conference and found this hotel to comfortable and convenient to get around downtown and great restaurants in Little Italy.
Friendly and helpful staff, great location
The excellent situation within easy reach of waterfront and Little Italy Restaurants. Also close to station with trolley service to various places.
Television system erratic. Cooked breakfast repetitive.
The staff was great. The room was nice and clean with fantastic view. We enjoyed staying there.
The food was OK but nothing special.
Loved the location, the facility, the breakfast.
Paying for parking.
Great location-easy walk to the bay. Spacious and clean rooms. Basic but complete breakfast. Free airport shuttle to boot.
Just began renovating so right now lobby feels cramped--the plans look like it will be very nice once complete
carpeting in room
Comfortable room. Good price. Free breakfast. Airport shuttle. View from room
Bit of a walk to downtown / gaslamp. "Bayside" is pushing it a bit (3 blocks away)
We had a great view.
Staff was not helpful at all. Free breakfast was all lukewarm processed food and not very good at all. Very poor selection at that.
Very comfortable, clean and extra aminities, even with the remodeling.
5 minute walk to Santa Fe Amtrak and Metro station, Close to Seafront.
Restaurant closed Weekend Evenings
Excellent Location midway bet restaurants,shops and waterfront
Location. Facilities. Great size room.
Good location, near to a trolley station
Location,cleanliness,value for money, friendly helpful staff,good breakfast.
The hotel have many advantages: good sized rooms, good decor, breakfast is ok but not exciting, location near Little Italy neighborhood. Parking convenient at a good price.
A lot of noise from traffic on nearby street, confusing because the area is very quiet.
Everything was perfect
Connection lost once or twice
Close proximity to public transportation. Clean and comfortable.
Hotel with a view of the bay but 2 blocks away. Very small balcony with no room or chairs for sitting. Pool nestled between hotel wall and parkade, "no way that sun could shine there!" Breakfast mediocre. Fresh fruit consisted of apples or oranges. No berries, bananas. Freshly made oatmeal would be nice rather than packaged.
helpful staff comfortable bed wifi speed is good
Parking space (which costs $14/day) is extremely small. Very poor sound proof - street noise is loud. Noisy hallway visitors can be heard very easily, too. Some hardware (e.g. the carpet) in the room are old. They need re-decorating. Poor breakfast.
Great rates for a good hotel. Comfortable beds, awesome location a block from Little Italy. Only a few blocks, easy walk to the Horton Plaza, as well as to the waterfront or the train/trolley station.
Information on eateries was sketchy - their onsite restaurant wasn't open on weekends, but no one thought to direct us only one block away to many many nice places in Little Italy.

Teens Accused of Gang Rape, Posting Video on Facebook
- Written by The Chicago Defender
- Published in Chicago
Three Chicago teens accused of gang-raping a 12-year-old girl at gunpoint and posting the video to Facebook will face charges as adults, Cook County prosecutors announced Friday.
A judge ordered Justin Applewhite, 16, Kenneth Brown, 15, and Scandale Fritz, 16, each held on $900,000 bond. The teens each face one count of aggravated criminal sexual assault.
The alleged sexual assaults took place at Fritz's house Dec. 15, 2012. Fritz had the girl meet him at home, and then took her into the basement and allegedly raped her. According to court documents, Fritz threatened the girl, who had pleaded him to stop, by showing her a gun, and is alleged to have later filmed Applewhite and Brown raping her.
The girl went to the hospital and notified police the next day, according to Chicago Fox affiliate WFLD. On Dec. 17, the video of the rape was posted first to Brown's Facebook page, and then to the other boy's pages.
Prosecutors said all three boys appear on the footage, in which the girl demands them to stop. Brown reportedly held a gun during sex, and the boys could be heard shouting gang slogans.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Fritz provided prosecutors with a handwritten account of the events.

Slough Feg
As the leader of heroic metal band Slough Feg, Mike Scalzi has been churning out lighter-lifting anthems for nearly 25 years. He talks about why technology is making us dumb, becoming a college professor, and his latest album.
By Brandon Stosuy , February 6, 2014
Mike Scalzi formed Slough Feg as The Lord Weird Slough Feg (the name of a villain in a British comic book series) in Pennsylvania in the late 1980s, but the group's most associated with San Francisco, where Scalzi relocated to in 1990, and where he's been a member of Hammers of Misfortune, among other bands. Also a philosophy professor and a writer, Scalzi has an ear for the heroic canon (Iron Maiden, Judas Priest) and the hooks of Thin Lizzy, but he's just as ready to bring up D.C. hardcore, old punk, and folk metal. He follows a particular classic metal/heavy rock template, then tweaks it: His listening and reading consumption is vast enough that he can offer endless variations on the theme of "true metal." He also has an uncanny knack for lighter-lifting anthems.
Digital Resistance, streaming now in Advance and out on February 18 on Metal Blade, is Slough Feg's first album since 2010's The Animal Spirits. (If you're new to the band, my personal favorites are 1998's Twilight of the Idols, 2000's Down Among the Deadmen, 2007's Hardworlder, and Animal Spirits.) I spoke with Scalzi about the record, contemporary metal, what technology is doing to our brains, day jobs, and the heavy metal version of "Don't Stand So Close to Me".
Pitchfork: What's the meaning behind the title Digital Resistance?
Mike Scalzi: It's an Orwellian perspective, like, "Jesus Christ, technology is really going to fuck us up as a species." We're losing our sense of history, of who we are, where we're going. The 50s science fiction that I used to read predicted the future pretty well, saying that people were becoming mentally flabby. For example, this friend of mine who teaches English did this really scary experiment in his class last year where he said, "OK, I want you to write one page on such-and-such subject and hand in your notes on it in an orderly fashion." A week later, he tested them in class by giving each person a quote from their own writing and asking them to explain it. Only six out of 25 students could actually explain it—they were just looking online and copy-pasting. Being a teacher, that scares the shit out of me. It's not like I'm trying to make some grand academic statement about what technology is doing to us psychologically, or what we're becoming, it's more about everyday experiences and how we're becoming stupid.
Pitchfork: You used to write a column called Bullpen Bulletins for the metal site Invisible Oranges, and in one of them you talk about your music values being formed in part by hardcore, and the title Digital Resistance sounds like an old hardcore record, too.
MS: It's not political like a Dischord band from the 80s; the name is not joke, but there's humor involved. After nine albums, I'm really sick of coming up with titles, like, [stoner voice] "Hey, what are we going to call this one, man?" So I just have fun with it. I was having a conversation with these guys about a VCR, and a friend of mine said, "Aw man, you're still part of the digital resistance, aren't you?" And I was like, "That's pretty funny." But it's also because I actually feel like I want to be part of the digital resistance in a sci-fi way.
I went onto a subway train a couple of months after that and I was talking on the phone, and I suddenly said, "As a member of the digital resistance, I think I'm going to scare people if I don't stop this conversation right now." And all these people stared at me. They thought it was some terrorist thing for a second. I thought it was hilarious!
Pitchfork: What's the story with the opening track title: "Analogue Avengers/Bertrand Russell's Sex Den"?
MS: Apparently Bertrand Russell had all these affairs with his graduate students at one point in his life. So I was walking with a friend past some house with this adjunct little bungalow thing on it, and I was like, "There's Bertrand Russell's sex den." And that guy's like, "Oh, are you going to make a Slough Feg song called that?" I said, "Yeah, that's a good idea!" When I finally wrote it, I was like, "This is like a heavy metal version of 'Don't Stand So Close to Me' by the Police."
At this point, every record I've made has been primarily my responsibility, and I just put off the lyrics until the end. And not only do I have to write the lyrics, but I have to sing them all. It takes a shit load of time. It'd be great if I was in a death metal band and I could just go in and [makes death growl sounds] and then say, "Oh, I said this!" and make up all this bullshit and that takes two seconds, no problem. But that's not what it is.
"Even though you don't want to say money is a consideration, it is—not about the kind of music you make, but maybe about
wanting to have health insurance when you're 60."
Pitchfork: You're coming up on the band's 25th anniversary, how have things shifted since you started doing it?
MS: I started the band in 1990, and I was still living near Penn State, where my dad worked, and I wasn't doing shit. I had just turned 20 and I was like, "I'm going to leave town, but I don't have any money, so until I get my shit together, let's just play around." We thought it would be fun to play metal, which was a weird thing to do back then, because it was the exact time when everybody else was switching from metal to other things.
I moved to San Francisco in October 1990 and my sole purpose for the next 10 years was Slough Feg. I'd come home from some shitty job and practice every night in an old basement of a tenement building that we lived in on Haight Street. The four of us in two rooms, just being total dirtbags. It was fun. I mean, we were 21 years old.
Around 2003, reality kicked in and I went back to college. I wasn't very interested in the idea of becoming some old burnout guy, so I had to get it together. People who go to college when they're 32 don't fuck around. You're super serious because you're scared. You're like, "I'm going be 40 and working in a fucking warehouse—I don't want to do that." So I started busting my ass.
When I graduated a few years later, metal was starting to get more popular. I was in Hammers of Misfortune, and we were touring, and I was like, "Damn, what if this had happened 10 years ago?" So then I went to graduate school, and metal got even bigger, and we got more attention and were able to tour more. I was very fucking anxiety-ridden, I couldn't just sit around and write songs.
Now, I teach at a community college. And after so many records, you want to try to branch out into different areas. People might not want to hear this, but when you're in your 40s and you've already toured Europe and America a bunch of times, and you've made records, and you've already had these experiences that are awesome, then those things aren't as exciting. You want new frontiers. And you want to be compensated in some way for your efforts. It's like: "I can either go to South by Southwest and play a couple of shows and come back with no money or I can go work at a bar on Saturday night and make $300." Even though you don't want to say money is a consideration, it is—not about the kind of music you make, but about spending all your time on music when you know you're never going to make anything from it, or maybe wanting to have health insurance when you're 60.
"I want people to play our songs on an
acoustic guitar and still make it sound good."
Pitchfork: In one of your columns, you said that sub-genres tend to legitimize shitty music.
MS: They do!
Pitchfork: As far as what you guys are doing, it's just heavy metal? No sub-genre tags attached to it?
MS: I mean, you can call it whatever you want, but I'm not going to sit under a banner. We're not really "true metal," whatever that is. When your entire goal is to not go outside of certain boundaries and just stick to traditions? That's definitely not my philosophy.
Pitchfork: A few years ago a friend and I had this metal DJ night at a bar in Manhattan, and as the nights got really late we'd always end up playing Maiden and Slough Feg, because that's when people were really drunk and would sing along. So I always thought if there was a sub-genre for you, it would be for the things you play at 2 a.m. that everyone knows the words to.
MS: Yeah, sing-along metal. Honestly, that is something I've strived for—I want people to play our songs on an acoustic guitar and still make it sound good. The reason people wrote verse poetry or epic poems way back was because no one could remember an entire novel or symphony. But as far as songs surviving for a long time, hopefully someone could remember a Slough Feg song because it's catchy and easy to remember, like a folk song.

Kevin Von Erich
Real Name
Kevin Adkisson
Date of Birth
May 15, 1957
Place of Birth
Since he made an appearance on Monday Night Raw and worked a segment with Alexander Rusev, speculation has run wild that the Rock will be wrestling a match at Wrestlemania 31. As of right now, that seems highly unlikely, as the former world heavyweight championship has signed on for several movies over the next year. The studios are also said to be against the idea of him risking injuries in a wrestling ring again.
October 9, 2014
With Night of Champions 2014 being a crucial pay per view in terms of drawing in WWE Network subscribers, management is going to be stacking the deck a bit. They knew that they needed their two biggest draws in the main event. That's why it has now been officially announced that John Cena has activated his rematch clause against Brock Lesnar, and the two will tangle again for the world heavyweight championship.
August 20, 2014
It will be interesting to see how WWE handles the promotion of the world heavyweight championship over the next few weeks. Brock Lesnar is not scheduled to be back on television for approximately a month. John Cena, who is returning next week, is expected to get his rematch story line. Paul Heyman is great at what he does, but management will be curious to see how the audience reacts to a missing champion.
August 19, 2014
For those of you that missed Monday Night Raw this week, Brock Lesnar made his much anticipated return to WWE and challenged John Cena at Summerslam 2014 for the world heavyweight championship. The story is that Paul Heyman convinced Triple H to go with Plan C because it was the best chance at getting the strap away from Cena.
July 22, 2014
Rumors are floating around that the segment on Monday Night Raw between John Cena and Ric Flair was a subtle way for WWE to retire the world heavyweight championship belt. For those that missed it, Cena handed the belt over to Flair and told the legendary performer to keep it. WWE has not released an official statement on the matter yet, so fans will be tuning in to Smackdown and WWE Battleground 2014 to see the fate of the belt.
July 15, 2014
Prior to his injury, there were plans in place to have MVP winning the TNA World Heavyweight Championship from Eric Young. Since the company needed a heel champion to be the antagonist against Kurt Angle and his new on screen authority role, the belt went to Bobby Lashley instead. There are talks that TNA could try to figure out how to transfer the belt over to MVP soon.
July 5, 2014
Based on all the moves that they have been making as of late, it seems that Dixie Carter and her company are hellbent on generating big numbers at these upcoming shows in New York City. TNA just announced that Jeff Hardy will be challenging Bobby Lashley for the world heavyweight championship at one of the shows. Both guys have name value thanks to their time in WWE.
June 21, 2014
A big reason why Bobby Lashley was given the TNA World Heavyweight Championship this week is because he is viewed as a marketing asset. The company immediately sent out a press release to inform them that Lashley had become the new champion. TNA is touting his accomplishments as a collegiate athlete, military personnel, mixed martial arts and professional wrestling to the media.
June 20, 2014
Rumors going around right now has WWE giving the world heavyweight championship to a heel at Money in the Bank 2014. The belief is that the company will set someone up to feud with John Cena and Daniel Bryan over the next few months. Antonio Cesaro has been rumored for a few weeks now, but some are skeptical of that because he hasn't been given a ton of momentum by WWE. Management will either hot shot the belt to Bray Wyatt or go with the safe route in Randy Orton.
June 16, 2014
Since MVP has a badly injured knee, TNA decided to change up the main event of Slammiversary 2014. Eric Young will still be defending the world heavyweight championship in a steel cage at the event, but he's now going to be doing so against two opponents. The winners of the respective matches between Samoa Joe, Bobby Lashley, Kenny King and Austin Aries will be challenging Young for the belt.
June 13, 2014
During a recent podcast interview with Chris Jericho, MVP revealed that he was going to try to fight through the knee injury and work Slammiversary 2014. The former United States Heavyweight Champion is scheduled to challenge Eric Young for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship at the pay per view. Management is still working on a backup plan in case his knee does not hold up, however.
June 11, 2014
During the Payback 2014 pay per view, WWE did a segment where Stephanie McMahon demanded that Daniel Bryan make a decision about the world heavyweight championship. Instead of him giving up the belt that he chased for so long, Brie Bella told Stephanie that she was quitting WWE. Brie then gave a big slap to Stephanie. The belief is that Brie will be given some time off of television.
June 1, 2014
Slammiversary 2014 takes place later on this month, and the main event might be in jeopardy. Originally, Eric Young was scheduled to defend the TNA World Heavyweight Championship against MVP, but the challenger suffered some sort of knee injury while working an independent wrestling show in England over the weekend. No word yet on the severity of the injury, but MVP was limping pretty badly.
June 1, 2014
For those of you that do not watch Impact Wrestling on a regular basis, MVP has done a heel turn. The former United States Heavyweight Champion has also given himself a shot at Eric Young and the TNA World Heavyweight Championship at Slammiversary 2014 as well. Management pulled the trigger on the move, as they feel that MVP could be more valuable as an antagonist.
May 9, 2014
In the main event of TNA Sacrifice 2014, Eric Young was able to defeat Brutus Magnus to retain the world heavyweight championship. Young scored the pin fall victory after delivering two piledrivers and a top rope elbow drop. During the match, Magnus attempted to cheat by using a weapon to win the TNA title back, but the referee caught him.
April 27, 2014
Rumors have it that people backstage in WWE are amused by the fact that TNA put their world heavyweight championship around the waist of Eric Young. It is not so much a shot at Young, as many in the industry feel that he is a good worker and a nice person. The ridicule is more about how TNA went about with the story line of crowning him as champion.
April 19, 2014
Since he is now the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, Eric Young is being given a bit of a gimmick change, as management wants to move him further away from the comedic character that he has portraying over the years. TNA wants fans to believe that Young is a credible champion. His Monster's Ball match against Abyss on Impact Wrestling was to aid that.
April 19, 2014
Rumors have it that another reason why TNA gave the world heavyweight championship to Eric Young was to keep him from joining Jeff Jarrett in Global Force Wrestling. Young and Jarrett have a long history together, and they remain on very good terms. Since he is a very good worker and well liked backstage, TNA would much rather he stay with them long term.
April 18, 2014
A message on Twitter from Mick Foley, where the WWE legend congratulates Eric Young on winning the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.
April 18, 2014
If TNA decides to keep the belt on Eric Young for the long term, an idea which is being tossed around backstage because of his marketing value at the moment, then management is going to push Bobby Roode up as a challenger for the world heavyweight championship. There are still talks of Brutus Magnus recapturing the belt at TNA Sacrifice 2014.
April 14, 2014
In a sign that the family still has some name value in the Dallas area, Kevin Von Erich is already paying off for TNA, as ticket sales for Slammiversary 2014 was said to have received a spike shortly after Dixie Carter announced that the legendary WCCW star was going to be involved. In return, the company is giving national exposure to his sons Ross Von Erich and Marshall Von Erich.
June 13, 2014
Since Ross Von Erich and Marshall Von Erich are working a match at Slammiversary 2014, there have been a lot of rumors floating around that the sons of Kevin Von Erich are going to be signed to a contract with TNA. However, there are reports surfacing that the company is basically doing this as a one shot deal. TNA gains additional exposure since the Von Erich name is still beloved in Dallas, while the brothers are given a chance to be introduced to fans in the United States.
June 8, 2014
As of right now, TNA has not announced the opponents for Ross Von Erich and Marshall Von Erich, the sons of Texas legend Kevin Von Erich, at Slammiversary 2014. Some rumors are floating around that they might be paired up with excellent ring workers in Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards, but others believe that they will be working against a heel tandem in order to generate a good reaction in front of their hometown fans in Dallas.
June 7, 2014
During a recent interview to promote his upcoming appearance at Slammiversary 2014, Kevin Von Erich revealed to the Dallas News that he normally avoids traveling because of a bad back suffered from years of being an in ring performer. The Texas legend stated that he was willing to travel from his home in Hawaii to the TNA pay per view because he wants to see his son performing on a national stage.
June 1, 2014
In a rather interesting move, Kevin Von Erich has been booked for Slammiversary 2014. The WCCW legend will be on hand to watch his sons, Marshall and Ross, wrestling on the TNA pay per view. The third generation stars have been wrestling over in Japan, gaining some much needed seasoning and experience before attempting to make their way to the United States.
May 29, 2014
For those that have been wondering, Kevin Von Erich, the surviving member of the world famous Von Erich brothers, is now living in Hawaii and simply enjoying his time. He has been exploring the island and has been routinely posting beautiful pictures of the state. Von Erich has absolutely no plans on returning to professional wrestling.
March 4, 2014
One of the biggest things that Kevin Von Erich is known for during his long career in professional wrestling is the fact that he wrestled barefoot. He became known all over the world for that. However, it was not an intentional thing. Someone backstage played a prank by hiding his boots before a match, so he ended up going out there without any shoes.
February 27, 2014
Apparently, the backstage heat between Ric Flair and Kevin Von Erich is still lingering after all these years. Von Erich noted in an interview that he attempted to contact his former on screen nemesis and console him after Reid Flair passed away. However, Flair refused to return his calls.
February 7, 2014
During a recent interview with Steve and the Scum on WGD Weekly, Kevin Von Erich shared some stories about being a part of wrestling royalty. He revealed that the Von Erichs at one point in time were living in the same house as the world famous Hart family up in Calgary. This was when Fritz Von Erich had first started up in the business.
February 7, 2014
Since he is now living comfortably in Hawaii, where the former WCCW star is simply just enjoying nature, many have been wondering what the net worth of Kevin Von Erich is. Those numbers are not readily available to the public, but it is safe to assume that he received a sizable check from WWE for the wrestling library that his family owned for years.
February 6, 2014
It has been approximately 21 years now since Kerry Von Erich has passed away, but that has not stopped Kevin Von Erich from remembering his little brother's birthday. The former WCCW star posted a message about it on his official Twitter account.
February 3, 2014
ESPN is working with Kevin Von Erich to produce a documentary on the legendary wrestling family. It is set to air sometime in 2014.
November 16, 2013

It was so refreshing to spend time last evening at the PAD Resume
Workshop with law students who know how The David A. Clarke School of Law fits into
their career plans, and who already have great career experience! Since graduating from DCSL in 1996, I have come across far too many law
students attending the so-called top-notch law schools who don't really know what type of
law careers they want to pursue or don't seem to embody any actual passion for a
career in law. The students at UDC-DCSL
do demonstrate that passion by what they have already done in life, by having a plan to get where they want to go,
and by choosing a law school designed to get them where they want to be -- and
choosing a law school that is very affordable, so that they can do what they want
afterwards without being crippled by debt.
To all at UDC-DCSL, keep up the good work!

McGILL MANRING STEVENS, COSMOSQUAD, BUTTERMILK at Sixteen-Fifty, January 16
Mesa Boogie amps, guitars plucked way up under armpits, tangles of FX stompboxes, rows of audience tech vultures in band T-shirts -- the entire Pageant of Fusion Tradition unfolded in this hi-klass Hollywood barn during a night of voxless power trios, but so did the Future.
Nobodys told Buttermilk drummer Kofi Baker that he cant be as good as his dad, Ginger; his busy but ballsy grooves rolled out like a tsunami big enough to carry the Graf Spee, in furious union with the plunketyplunks of bassist Robertino Pagliari. Burnin ex--Megadeth chopster Chris Poland guested, physically contrasting his rock-god slouch against snaky-fast Buttermilk guitarist Bob Robles robot lurch. There were few flashbacks within the blues-bleeding flurries, except when a closing quote from I Am the Walrus linked Buttermilk with yellow-matter custard. Good band.
Fusion cant go massive unless chicks dig it, which is where Cosmosquad might come in. Not only did guitarist Jeff Kollman sport arena poses and new-wave hair, but he augmented dramatic funkety-crunch compositions with a nothing-wasted burp-gun style and a tone that Olympians might envy. (Overheard in the crowd: Im just gonna go home and break all my fuckin gear.) Hockey-shirted Shane Gaalaas somehow managed to twiddle mind-boggling six-string bass without geek damage. Barry Sparks seemed at first an ordinary rock trapsman, then kept adding flash and kick till by sets end (de rigueur snippet: Third Stone From the Sun) he was shaking the rafters. Hed been holding back, if you can dig that. These guys are ready.
More from the cool Euro school were Scott McGill (guitar), Michael Manring (bass) and Vic Stevens (drums), who jammed as if alone. McGills squeegly effects, Manrings alternate-tuned pings and Stevens shifting grooves were subtle and involving enough to detain their devotees past midnight -- they are, after all, the best. It was like a synagogue in Egypt.
KJEHL JOHANSEN BAND, ROTTERS, URINALS, THEY WALK IN LINEat Mr. Ts Bowl, January 19
In 1978, displaying the limited musical materials at their command as Duchampian pseudo-songs (Im a Bug, Ack Ack Ack Ack), Urinals were minimal by both choice and necessity. In 2003, with ex--Ten Foot Faces guitarist Rod Barker replacing founding member Kjehl Johansen (see below), theyre streamlined by experience. Barkers no showboater, and hell, three chords are three chords. Tonights set was nearly all post-reformation material, some showing the new guys hand (the relatively elaborate Beautiful Day). But theres not an ounce of fat on John Talley-Jones and Kevin Barretts bass and drum parts, and the former can still reduce the notion of a hook to absurdity in one syllable: Cold!
Ex-Urinal Johansen has taken his time in resurfacing; tonight marks the new bands fifth show. As a leader, hes generous to the point of self-sacrifice: The best songs from his recent Tower of Isolation disc have the is-it-jaggedis-it-jangly? ambiguity of his later project Trotsky Icepick, but the set also included three bar rockers penned by bassist Tom Hofer, and a Syndicate of Sound cover (Hey Little Girl) sung by guitarist Steve Andrews. The band only jelled sporadically, and Johansens vocals sounded most at ease on Trotskys all-but-forgotten Windowpane. Theres potential here, especially in the guitar interplay with Andrews, but right now Johansens traversing that gray area between extending his legacy and tarnishing it.
In between: I have no problem with the Rotters shaggy rhythm section, but when guitaristbirthday boy Phester opens a song with a locked-in, adventurous solo that zips past the Lazy Cowgirls and closes in on Sonny Sharrock, said song deserves better lyrics than Im a weenie machine. Finally, They Walk the Line opened their set with the kind of all-pedals-glowing guitar whiteout My Bloody Valentine used to end with. Then they stayed there. (Franklin Bruno)
DEVENDRA BANHART, ENTRANCEat the Silverlake Lounge, January 17
Both Devendra Banhart and his opening act, Entrance, played music that fit neatly into the tortured-troubadour tradition that unites Van Morrison, Syd Barrett, Tim Buckley, Nick Drake, Jeff Buckley and Elliott Smith. The less said about Entrance (a.k.a. 21-year-old Guy Blakeslee) the better. He had the outfit right -- b&w striped shirt; purple velvet jacket; I think his shoes were Clarks -- but a hot outfit and tousled black curls do not a tuneful voice make. His meandering acoustic thrash was intolerable, like nails on a chalkboard or cats having their tails chopped off.
As the bearded, black-haired Banhart removed his brown cloche hat and sat Indian-style on an Oriental rug in the middle of the stage, one feared we were in for more posturing. But obviously he is committed to the wigged-out path: He would retain the cross-legged pose for the rest of his performance; a front row of about 20 audience members did the same. This was but the first sign of his power as a performer; his eccentricities had already charmed us. At 11:30, Banhart took out his guitar, asked for a glass of red wine, closed his eyes and began picking out small acoustic figures. When he opened his mouth, he unleashed a beautiful warble that brought to mind 1) black female blues singers from scratchy old 78s; 2) Ravi Shankar; 3) your best-ever psychedelic experience; 4) the blind-man charms of Jose Feliciano, Andre Bocelli and Ray Charles; and 5) a wizened Chinese scholar yawning as he schooled you in the Tao of folk rock.
