The 1989 album Severed Survival picks up where his former band left off, and they put out the excellent Morbidity Triumphant just last year. Go see, but be prepared for the brutality. Necrot, Mortiferum, Deathgrave, and Mortal Wound also perform.In a 2011 piece, writer Jason Roche noted, “From 1987 to 1995, Autopsy played everything from cranked-out, coked-up goregrind to doped-up, slow-crawling doom metal. Getting back together to record two new tracks for a reissue of their 1989 debut Severed Survival in 2008 inspired a permanent reunion. Macabre Eternal, their first studio album in sixteen years, was released earlier this year.”They’ve only gotten stronger!Autopsy Conducted at 1720: The event takes place at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 13 1720.       &...

SAN FRANCISCO — Can you feel that?It’s pressure. And after the Warriors’ Game 5 win, it’s all on the Los Angeles Lakers.And they know it, too.Yes, the Warriors remain on the brink of elimination, but on Wednesday, in a game where Golden State had everything to lose, they played loose.More importantly, they played fast.It wasn’t the Warriors’ best basketball — far from it — but it was highly effective against this tight and plodding Lakers team.It shouldn’t have taken a four-time champion core this long, but the Warriors finally figured out that this series is little more than a game of attrition.And when the series is viewed in that light, the Warriors have a massive advantage going into Game 6.LeBron James — 38 years old and in his 20th NBA season — is tired.Anthony Davis took a seemingly innocuous hit to the head in Game 5 and needed a wheelchair to reach the locker room.Both should be expected to play in Game 6, but their efficacy moving forwar...

Division III football likely to delay new clock rules for 1st downs

Previously, the clock stopped when a first down was gained and restarted on the referee’s signal.The rule will be used in the Bowl Subdivision, Championship Subdivision and Division II. It was put on hold in Division III after the division’s management council requested the Playing Rules Oversight Panel refer it back to the Football Rules Committee for further review.“I think delay a year is the most likely scenario,” Steve Shaw, national coordinator of officials and secretary-rules editor, said in a text to The Associated Press on Thursday.Shaw said Division III administrators and coaches want to see how the new rule affects games in the upper division...
