bassist Paz Lenchain, who has been playing with the band since January, 2014. All headline shows will feature a
new and more varied set packed with songs from the entire Pixies catalogue, full of distortion howls and all the vivid
dissonance a Pixies fan would expect. – all performed on a sparse yet stunning stage.
Twenty-thirteen and 2014 were pivotal years for Pixies, with founding member Kim Deal’s departure, the band’s
decision to work with a variety of touring bass players as opposed to finding a permanent replacement for her,
the release of Indie Cindy, Pixies’ first new album in more than twenty years, 12 innovative music videos, many of
which were conceived and directed by up-and-coming filmmakers and have racked up nearly six-million views, and
sold-out shows across the globe.

The Los Angeles-class fast-attack submarine USS Louisville (SSN 724) arrived at Fleet Activities Yokosuka Feb. 19, for a port visit during its deployment to the Western Pacific.
This was the second port visit for Louisville’s crew of 140 during its current deployment.
“They have excelled in every task assigned and have demonstrated that Louisville is ready for any assignment,” said Cmdr. Bob Figgs, commanding officer of Louisville. “I could not be prouder of their accomplishments. I know that my officers and crew are looking forward to some well deserved liberty and are glad to be back in Yokosuka.”
Measuring more than 360 feet long and weighing more than 6,000 tons when submerged, Louisville is one of the most modern attack submarines in the world. The submarine’s stealth, mobility, endurance, and firepower allow this covert, multi-mission platform to operate independently or in conjunction with a carrier strike group or joint forces to support the interests of the United States wherever and whenever needed.
“Our time on deployment has given the crew a significant sense of accomplishment and has rewarded all the hard work and energy spent preparing themselves and Louisville for this deployment,” said Command Master Chief Fire Larry Williams, the command master chief of Louisville. “Our crew’s ability to pull together as a team in the fast-paced environment of a fast-attack submarine has led to our success. I am excited for the crew to be able to have some liberty again in Yokosuka; this deployment has enabled our crew to do what a lot of them joined the Navy to do: see overseas countries and represent the U.S. Navy well.”
For one of Louisville’s crew, this visit to Yokosuka will provide the opportunity to realize a lifelong dream.
“Ever since I was a little kid I’ve been a big fan of Pokemon,” said Machinist’s Mate 3rd Class Austin Bruns, of Rapid City, South Dakota, referencing the popular Japanese trading card game and television series. “I’ve always wanted to travel to Tokyo and visit the Pokemon Center, and this trip ought to give me a chance to not only check that off my ‘bucket list’, but to buy some great memorabilia.”
Louisville is the fourth U.S. ship to be named for Louisville, Kentucky. Commissioned on Nov. 8, 1986, at Naval Submarine Base New London, Connecticut; Louisville is the 35th nuclear-powered fast-attack submarine of the Los Angeles class. Louisville is currently homeported at Hawaii’s Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam.

Indiana is one of the nation’s leaders when it comes to texting 911 for emergency help.
TAll but four of Indiana’s 92 counties have signed on to a system that allows cellphone users to text 911.

Lake, Jasper, Marion and Ripley counties are the holdouts.
Only Vermont and Maine have all counties accepting text messages to 911. Fifteen other states have a few counties each that participate in the “Text to 911” system.
A federal order required all wireless carriers and text-messaging providers to allow users to send texts to 911 dispatchers by the end of 2014.
Communications officials say calling is still best but that text messages are useful when a person has a hearing or speech impairment or when it’s unsafe to speak.

Indiana Conservation divers recovered the body of a Medora man from Swan Lake Friday night.
The body of 39-year-old Cole Cummins was found at 11:25 p.m. Cummins had fallen through the ice at Saw Lake earlier in the evening.
Officers were able to locate Cummins using a remote operated vehicle prior to divers recovering the body in about 11 feet of water.
According to police, Cummins’ fishing partner saw him fall through the ice, and then attempted to help Cummins before falling through the ice himself.
The partner was able to get out of the water and crawl to his vehicle. He then drove to Cummins’ girlfriend’s nearby home and dialed 911.
Shortly thereafter, Cummins’ parents were summoned and quickly drove to the lake where they were unable to assist their son.
Jackson County deputies and a Brownstown officer quickly arrived, donned life jackets, and crossed the ice in an attempt to rescue Cummins with a throw bag.
That is when a Jackson County deputy also fell through the ice, but was able to make it to shore.
Cummins’ fishing partner was airlifted to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis for treatment of hypothermia and is expected to fully recover.
Assisting agencies at the scene included Indiana State Police, Jackson County Sheriff’s Department, Brownstown Police Department, and Owen Township Volunteer Fire Department.
