UT football players arrested in bar altercation Matt Dixon Staff Writer

Kevin Huebschman Sports Editor Just before 2 a.m. on July 8, an incident at Bar Knoxville spilled outside, onto Cumberland Avenue, leaving two people, including an offduty police officer, injured and two Tennessee football players arrested.

Both who were injured were taken to UT Medical Center, where 24-year-old Knoxville police officer Robert Capouellez remained in critical condition as late as Saturday. 20-year-old Gary Russell was released Friday.

“Officers first responded to the scene after reports of an officer being assaulted,” Darrell DeBusk, public infor-

mation officer for the Knoxville Police Department, said. There, the responding officer found Capouellez lying in the street unconscious.

DeBusk said a fight originated inside the bar, where eyewitnesses indicated about “seven to 10 athletes (were) involved in beating one individual.”

According to the KPD report, freshman wide receiver Da’Rick Rogers was charged with resisting arrest and disorderly conduct, while sophomore safety Darren Myles was arrested and charged with assault, evading arrest and resisting arrest.

Head coach Derek Dooley addressed the media Friday night to express his disappointment in the incident.

“It’s a privilege, not a right, to be a member of this football

team and be a member of the University of Tennessee football team,” Dooley said. “I am disappointed and embar-

disciplinary actions that were taken.

“We have dismissed Darren Myles from our football team.

rassed in many ways by the lapses of judgment by several members of our football team last night, and there were numerous lapses of judgment.”

Dooley later announced

We have indefinitely suspended Marlon Walls and Greg King,” Dooley said. “There’s other actions that were taken internally, and there’s also a period where we’re continuing to find out exactly what

happened just like everybody else because as you know, it takes time to gather all the information from all the parties involved.”

Dooley indicated that his discipline was based only on his initial conversations with every player involved and that all disciplinary decisions involving the players were “going to be relative to their lapse in judgment and how wrong they were and what the damage that was done.”

The arrest was Myles’ second incident with law enforcement this offseason. He was arrested on April 17, the day of the Orange and White game, for public intoxication, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest outside a Knoxville restaurant.

Walls is a sophomore defensive tackle who appeared in

seven games last season and recorded two solo tackles. He was listed as a starter at defensive tackle on the postspring depth chart.

King is a sophomore linebacker who appeared in nine games last season and recorded 24 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss and an interception. He battled injuries for much of the spring but was expected to play a key role in the linebacker rotation this season. Neither Walls nor King appeared on KPD’s or the UT Police Department’s reports, although DeBusk said that KPD has not yet released the names of all individuals involved.

“There will be several interviews over the next few days,” he said. “Charges are pending the conclusion (of the investigation).”

The Tennessee River is one of the most polluted rivers in the United States. Knoxville Utility Board has the responsibility to clean the water to make it drinkable for Knoxville residents.

Andrea Castillo Staff Writer A study performed by one UT professor may have people concerned about the contents of their drinking water.

Head of the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences Larry McKay recently sampled and tested sources in eight community water supplies. These eight sources were taken in East Tennessee, and in them, he found concentrations of both viruses and bacteria.

The viruses and bacteria are linked to human feces that could potentially cause problems as waterborne diseases develop. This being a high-risk factor for many inhabitants of East Tennessee, they are concerned as to what it may mean for them.

Each of the eight samples of untreated water came from wells or springs throughout East Tennessee. Of the samples, four were considered high risk for fecal contamination, while the other four were only regarded as low risk, with a conclusion drawn from previous data analyzed.

Each of the eight sources were examined and evaluated for fecal bacteria, E. coli and Bacteroides, as well as various infectious viruses. The four high-risk

samples contained E.coli, coliforms, Bacteroides and infectious viruses.

Of the four low-risk samples, one was found to have E.coli and coliforms, two had Bacteroides and three had infectious viruses.

The samples McKay took were primarily of karst aquifers. In a karst aquifer, water moves through large conduits or caves. The water is moving rapidly, and because of this, it gets very little filtration. When the water moves through karst aquifers made of limestone and are commonly used water sources, it often carries bacteria.

Karsts have a high susceptibility to contamination because of the sinkholes, caverns and rapidly moving water that result from these characteristics and lack of filtration.

All of the water sources that McKay used as samples in the study were either wells or springs that are used as public water supply. However, the water is treated before distribution, and there is no apparent danger or direct rest to the persons consuming the water, but the water does represent a possible or even potential health hazard for at least part of the Tennessee population.

“Overall, I’m not sure I considered this a huge issue at the moment, because,

more than likely, this has been an issue for a while,” said Elizabeth Roadinger, resident of East Tennessee, “and any serious negative health risks that there might be would have already occurred.”

Caleb Jones, another state resident, weighed in on the issue as well.

“Sounds like a huge deal made out of nothing,” he said. “If the water is treated, there’s no reason to scare people. It’s the ones outside city limits with well water that should have their water tested.”

Jones also commented on the research itself, saying that he thinks the research is incomplete.

“I would like to know the results after my water is treated,” he said.

The study, labeled “Viruses and Bacteria in Karst and Fractured Rock Aquifers in East Tennessee, USA,” was published in the electronic version of “Ground Water” and will later appear in a special edition of the journal entitled “Pathogens and Fecal Indicators in Ground Water.”

The next task for McKay and fellow scientists is a larger study that involves several universities that investigate the possible links between contaminated water and that of disease rate in rural villages in Bangladesh.

An assistant professor of nursing was awarded the 2010 UT Chancellor’s Excellence in Academic Outreach honor.

Ginger Evans, a psychiatric nurse and assistant professor for more than 30 years, is also a certified sexual assault nurse examiner. She has performed more than 300 examinations on sexual assault victims. She is also on call at Safe Haven and the SAFE Center, organizations which help sexual assault victims.

Evans uses her expertise to contribute to sexual violence education in the community. She meets with Knoxville Police Department recruits and serves on the Board of the Knoxville Mental Health Association, Knoxville’s Fatality Review Board and the Community Coalition for Family Violence.

She has been a faculty member at UT since 1983 and coordinates mental health courses in the College of Nursing. Evans has had three peer-reviewed journal articles since 2004 and has also been in 33 conference proceedings in the last 10 years.

Dr. Carole R. Myers, chairwoman for the awards and selection committee of the university academic outreach and engagement council, said the award recognizes the contributions to the public by faculty that occur because of the member’s academic pursuits and those related to UT’s academic mission.

“Academic outreach is defined as integrated scholarship which engages the institution’s academic missions of research, creativity, teaching and service with the community at large,” she said. “It involves the university’s faculty and students employing their academic expertise to engage the community in reciprocal, collaborative relationships to improve the quality of life for citizens.”

Myers said the relationships formed with the community inform them on the work of the university’s faculty and students.

Evans said it came as a surprise to her that she had been given the award.

“I thought I was there as a nominee,” she said. “I didn’t realize I had been awarded this honor.”

She said that the award was special because it brings attention to the involvement and special activities to the community.

“It’s an opportunity to highlight the contribution that nursing makes in academic outreach and service,” she said.

While working as a psychiatric nurse, Evans said she recognized the long-term effect sexual violence had on people. That’s why she decided to become a sexual assault nurse examiner and work with “living crime scenes.”

“I was always seeing the effect of what happened in the past,” she said. “I decided I wanted to do something that had impact on the immediate result. By working with people in crisis, I can assist them, not just as a survivor but to thrive as individuals.”

Evans said achieving this honor was an extension of her life work.

“Nursing is a helping profession, so I’ve always been in the arena of helping people,” she said. “I may be a faculty person, but I’ve always had a practice. I’ve been a nurse for 40 years, and I’ve always been actively involved in providing care.”

One of the things she noticed at the Chancellor’s Honors Banquet was all of the work that was being done around UT campus.

“I … encourage people to get involved in their communities and participate as a citizen,” she said.

The Associated Press Mannequin's wardrobe malfunction draws complaints BEATRICE, Neb. — Residents who complained about a nearly naked female store mannequin prompted police to conceal the window display and stirred a debate about obscenity.

Police covered the window at Hannah's Treasures for about a day last week after several people in the southeast Nebraska city of 12,500 complained about the mannequin with a pair of pants around its ankles and wearing shoes but no other clothing.

City Attorney Tobias Tempelmeyer said Monday he had yet to receive all the police reports on the semi-naked mannequin.

"We're not able at this point to issue a determination whether it's obscene or not," Tempelmeyer said.

The owner of the closed shop later dressed the offending mannequin in a bikini.

Store owner Kevin Kramer's lawyer, Dustin Garrison, didn't immediately respond to a message Monday, but he told the Beatrice Daily Sun that Kramer might sue over the dispute.

"Nothing about a naked mannequin constitutes obscenity," Garrison said to the Beatrice Daily Sun. "I think we've all gone into a department store and seen a naked mannequin at one point in our lives."

Kramer said the shop in Beatrice was closed because he was in the process of moving his business to Lincoln.

Tempelmeyer said the dispute was resolved amicably, and that he was OK with the mannequin wearing a bikini.

Police say Pa. woman beat man with frying pan PHILIPSBURG, Pa. — Police said a woman faces charges after she hit a man in the head with a large frying pan.

Police said the woman, 50-year-old Kimberly Denocheck, hit a 48-year-old man in the head with the pan around 7:25 p.m. Saturday at an apartment in Philipsburg, near State College. Police said the man, whose name wasn't released, suffered an abrasion on his head.

Since receiving the citation, Carlson has been jailed at least four times for investigation of failure to appear for courtordered community service, driving without a license and other allegations.

Among other things, she objected to being held in a cell by herself, rather than in a housing unit for female prisoners, as she had requested.

Payette County prosecutor Anne Marie Kelso didn't immediately return a phone call following an initial court hearing Monday.

Idaho State Police and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were among about a half-dozen agencies that responded to the incident on Sunday.

A bomb-squad robot was used to blow up the pipes found at the trailer home. The Payette Police Department didn't immediately respond to a question about the composition of those devices.

28 years later, Maine woman gets stolen ring back AUBURN, Maine — A Maine woman's high school class ring is back in her possession 28 years after it was stolen.

Michelle Bilodeau of Auburn hadn't seen her Edward Little High School class of 1983 ring since it was stolen during her junior year.

But on Friday, it was returned to her by a stranger who tracked her down on Facebook.

Angie Foster of Benton says she found the ring years ago at a roller skating rink. She had held onto it and at one point called the high school to figure out who had the initials MMB that were engraved on the inside of the band.

The school had said that Bilodeau fit the description Even after she learned Bilodeau's name, it took years for Foster to find her. It wasn't until Foster looked for her on Facebook that the search paid off.

Skinny dippers in SF Bay area hope to set record LOS GATOS, Calif. — More than 100 people with nothing on but sunscreen and smiles crowded into a San Francisco Bay area swimming pool over the weekend in an attempt to set a skinny dipping record.

The 111 naked people in the pool at a Los Gatos nudist resort took part in a series of efforts on Saturday to establish a record tracked by a group calling itself the American Association For Nude Recreation.

Organizers say besides the event in Los Gatos, there were about 100 other recordbreaking attempts across the country.

In order to be counted in the competition, all the participants had to be at the same location at exactly noon.

A picture taken of the gathering in Los Gatos will be submitted to determine which group broke the skinny dipping record.

Lead singer’s stellar effort powers new album Robby O’Daniel Editor-in-Chief As much as the discography of the Canadian indie-rock band Stars is enjoyable, the frustration with Stars is similar to the frustration with Jefferson Airplane.

One hears those fabulous, Grace Slick-led songs from the band’s seminal second album “Surrealistic Pillow” and hopes for more like it. Slick croons and screams through “Somebody to Love” and “White Rabbit,” but the rest of that album sounds more like typical ‘60s folk than those songs that set Jefferson Airplane apart so much.

The same goes for Stars. Do not get me wrong — lead singer Torquil Campbell has a soft elegance in his singing, and one cannot say his voice is drab or typical 2000s indie rock. It’s just not nearly as enchanting as Stars’ other lead vocalist, Amy Millan.

This is why Stars’ best songs are the duets with both Campbell and Millan (like the song “Elevator Love Letter” from 2003’s “Heart” or “Your Ex-Lover Is Dead” from 2005’s “Set Yourself on Fire”). The only complaint about Stars ever — outside of somewhat melodramatic lyrics — is the fact that Millan does not get enough opportunities to stretch her vocal chords.

In Stars’ last album, 2007’s “In Our Bedroom After the War,” Millan did not sound quite herself, more like a decent Macy Gray imitation. After hearing Stars’ latest release, “The Five Ghosts,” which came out in late June, one might think Millan used this hit-and-miss performance to inspire her best effort to date.

With “The Five Ghosts,” Millan moves more from sometimes-lead singer to being a fullfledged lead singer in the band. The album is filled with duets, usually with Campbell singing the verses and Millan taking care of the chorus, chalk full of all those catchy hooks. Then there’s the songs where Millan solely handles the singing, which stand out as the best of the album.

Even though “Fixed,” which is arguably this album’s “Ageless Beauty” — an electropop thunderstorm with Millan straining to be heard over the synth — was the one touted like the first single, with free downloads galore, the pop song that stands out on first listening is “We Don’t Want Your Body.” Campbell is strangely almost rapping through the verses about a relationship that subsists almost entirely of sex. He talks trash about his loved one, saying “you flash your trash to turn me on” and “your hunger starts to turn me off.” All of this energy is punctuated by a high-pitched chorus from Millan that really drives home the tune.

RECYCLE ME

Stars’ new album is not entirely full of winners. One thing that the band has always achieved is an opener that really feels like a first song. The cheesy introduction at the beginning of “What the Snowman Learned About Love,” the building, emotional duet of “Your Ex-Lover Is Dead,” and the instrumental sampling of “The Beginning After the End” all served as exceptional first chapters, if not always songs that required further listening (in the case of “Snowman” and “The Beginning After the End.”) The same can ultimately be said for “Dead Hearts,” this album’s opener. The slow, swaying song does not excite the senses like the rest of the album. The lyrics are mired in some of Stars’ notorious melodrama. (The chorus repeats, “Dead hearts are everywhere. Dead hearts are everywhere.”) One forgets “Dead Hearts” quickly after hearing the rest of the album, but it serves its purpose.

Also there’s “I Died So I Could Haunt You,” which, at the third-track position, seems like it’s marketed as one of the “big” songs of the album. And the song has those rocking verses (ala “Take Me to the Riot”), but there’s simply no payoff. The chorus is oddly slower than the rest of the song.

But “The Five Ghosts” stands out as Stars’ best effort since “Heart” because of tracks that go where Stars has never gone before. Millan has never stretched her lungs to quite the depths that she does in “How Much More.” With lyrics both heartfelt and universal, Millan aches, “How much more am I supposed to take?”

But what makes “The Five Ghosts” so good is not simply up-tempo beats. “Changes” and “Wasted Daylight” offer the more-laidback efforts of the album, and they are as repeatable as the rest of the album. In particular, “Wasted Daylight” has a Millan chorus that evokes the feelings of new beginnings, as she asserts that she doesn’t mind this wasted, shaded daylight.

Stars is decidedly indie pop and not necessarily for everyone. It has dance/electronic influences, but it’s not as aggressive and hook-y as Lady Gaga, ke$ha or Beyonce. It’s somewhere in the middle, between Morrissey-like lyrics and catchy, mainstream choruses. And when listening to one of their albums, just like with Morrissey or The Smiths, one knows what they are getting into.

It’s usually something that requires multiple listens and could easily become the soundtrack of your summer.

Rising — The cash cow known as “Avatar” (yes, again) While, yes, this is perhaps the most disappointing summer movie season of all time, one in which a checklist of “Toy Story 3” and “Inception” will suffice, do we really need to go back to 2009 for film? I guess so.

In an idiotic, greedy, money-grubbing endeavor if there ever was one, an “expanded” version of “Avatar” is being released in August. “Expanded” apparently means eight minutes. Yes, that’s right, EIGHT minutes of new footage.

In a press release, Fox reasoned that “Avatar” was the reason why seeing movies in 3D is a fad again (which is yet another reason to hate “Avatar” if true). So, of course, Fox absolutely needs to offer people to go back to Pandora and see “Avatar” again, forking over roughly the same amount of money at the box office as it would take to buy the DVD used from a video store.

Movie re-releases are hardly that successful (just look at the recent attempt by “The Dark Knight”), but it makes even less sense in the case of “Avatar,” a miserable behemoth of a flick.

The three-hour blockbuster is insufferable to watch once and probably impossible to watch a second or third time (I’ve never tried it). And the added bonus of eight whole minutes of new footage is just an insult.

Rising — The need for Friedberg and Seltzer to never work again The minds behind such creative abortions as “Disaster Movie” are back for another pointless, brainless parody called “Vampires Suck.” It’s meant to poke fun at things like the “Twilight” movies, but just like with every one of these non-sequitur films, it forgets its own established genre and branches out to random jokes about any celebrity in the news in the past two years.

And how exactly does “Alice in Wonderland” fit into a vampires parody? Oh, wait, this is just a parody of whatever’s recent, and “Alice in Wonderland” came out earlier this year. Never mind.

These films are never funny, but they are also always late in coming out. So everything that these Friedberg/Seltzer joints “parody” is so old, with its comedic value thoroughly rotted out and dead before they show up. Really, Lady Gaga jokes two years after she became huge?

These guys simply need to stop making movies, and people need to stop compensating them for their horrid efforts. Someone out there must be watching and, gasp, buying these films on DVD in order for them to be about to eclipse (no pun intended) 10 parody movie credits in their resume. Stop it, people!

Falling (pretty stupendously) — “Party Down” It’s doubtful that any show has ever had a more depressing, dragged-out death than Starz’s comedy “Party Down,” which was about a ragtag group of wannabe actors and writers working as caterers in Hollywood.

While critically acclaimed, the show was on Starz, so it did not get that much mainstream attention. It merely stumbled to get to two seasons before the wheels starting falling apart.

First the show star Adam Scott, who viewers might recognize from small parts in “Eastbound and Down,” “Step Brothers” and “Boy Meets World,” took on a new role on “Parks and Recreation.” He, along with Rob Lowe, appeared in the last two episodes of “Parks” season two and were part of the reason why the show had the most hilarious finale of any of the NBC Thursday night comedy block.

A season three regular spot was available for Scott, so he essentially decided to “trade up” from Starz to NBC. That’s certainly a major jump up in mainstream visibility.

Then fellow cast member Ryan Hansen was given a leading role in the new NBC comedy “Friends with Benefits.” Judging from the synopsis on Wikipedia, it objectively sounds terrible: “The series follows the very close friendship between two single people who are looking for the perfect mate and their friends who question their relationship but, at the same time, have their own romantic problems to deal with.”

It sounds like a “Friends” remake, and that’s never good news for fans of quality television.

Hansen should be glad that his role in “Veronica Mars” kept him in the mind of Rob Thomas enough to string him along to “Party Down” and not attempt to bring down the show.

Apparently cast member Lizzy Caplan was also ready to leave the show for greener pastures, and Jane Lynch already left the show halfway through season one to be apart of that abomination known as Fox’s “Glee.”

After all that cast splintering, Starz finally officially pulled the plug on the entire endeavor, saying “Party Down” was canceled.

But you know what is really the insult to injury? Netflix provided access to “Party Down” episodes through their partnership with “Starz,” but only a week after the cancellation, the episodes stopped being available on Netflix as well. Wow, everyone involved wants you to forget this show ever happened apparently.

Music fans should sample before judging Se ar ching fo r Su b li m i ty by

Ben Whiteside I had a very serious conversation with an intelligent man the other day about music. “I like a lot of the stuff they play on the radio,” he said.

“Britney Spears, Lady Gaga — they’re really talented musicians.” He was old enough to be my father. My jaw tried to drop, but I managed to keep my excitement inside, secretly loving every second.

In an era criticized for its over-produced, overadvertised, over-everything music, this man favorably referenced two of the worst offenders without a hint of irony. In fact, apart from Prince (who isn’t exactly innocent as far as overproduction goes), they were the only specific artists he mentioned.

I am personally more intrigued by Spears and Gaga’s celebrity statuses than their music — though they both have released some fine songs — and if any other musical conversation failed to extend beyond the two, then I would usually dismiss it. Why, then, did I enjoy this one so much?

This man was inspiring, and here are the reasons why: 1. He was perceptive enough to understand where Spears and Gaga are coming from and open-minded enough to meet them there. It was apparent that he was at very least partially aware of the history of both popular and orchestral music, but unlike most other members of older generations, he was also willing to learn about the music of today.

“My son listens to classic rock all the time, so I had to make a deal with him for while we’re in the car together,” he said. “All the music must be from the past five or so years, but he can change the channel whenever he wants.” Maybe I’m wrong here, but isn’t that backwards? Aren’t parents supposed to only listen to the classical or oldies stations, and aren’t kids supposed to yell and scream and scratch their ears when 102.1 switches to ‘80s hour for lunch?

2. He’s one of the few people I’ve met that doesn’t make up his mind beforehand based on factors other than the music. That may sound counter-intuitive, but you might be surprised at how many people actually do it (e.g. everybody).

It is an issue of close-mindedness but even more so of pride. “Oh, so such-and-such artist is pop,” one might say. “They are too mainstream and boring and formulaic for me.” Or maybe, “Oh, so such-and-such other artist is indie. I don’t like guitars or pitchy vocals.”

Other than those who adhere to genre partisanship, there are people who won’t listen to music made before the year 2000 or after the year 1979, as if there weren’t artists in the last millennium who would’ve thrived in the contemporary scene, or as if there aren’t artists today who idolize ‘60s or ‘70s music as much you do.

Sample the music. There is no genre, era or geographic location that is devoid of artistic value. Try to understand the artist’s intent, but don’t be limited by it. Whatever you do, try not to let pride dictate what you (say you) do or don’t like. Without proper care, snobbery could ruin the music industry before piracy does. For some, it has already taken the fun out of it.

When I was in elementary school, a sign hung in the hallway that read, “An error doesn’t become a mistake until you refuse to correct it.”

From the time we’re wee little kids, we are taught that mistakes should be a learning experience so that we don’t repeat them in the future. Makes perfect sense to me.

Now someone please explain to me why the UT Athletics Department doesn’t understand this concept. When I heard about the Bar Knoxville brawl last week, my first reaction was complete disgust and disappointment. But you know what? I was in no way surprised.

Of course, the other schools in the SEC are loving this. Jokes have been flying around everywhere about the pathetic behavior of Tennessee athletes. As they say, “You can’t spell ‘thug’ without ‘UT’!”

The fact that criminal activities have become expected of UT student-athletes is unacceptable.

These young men have an amazing opportunity, and far too many of them are throwing that away simply because they don’t know how to behave like civil human beings.

More than 10 Tennessee athletes have been arrested in the past year. The Volunteer football team won seven games in the 2009 season.

When your school has more arrests than wins, it’s pretty obvious that something needs to change.

I am advocating a no-tolerance policy for all UT student-athletes. If these guys can’t refrain from carrying around illegal handguns, doing drugs, starting bar fights, robbing random people in gas stations or whatever other bright ideas they come up with, they need to be ousted.

I don’t care how good they are or how heavily they were recruited — kick them off the team.

Fans, students and alumni deserve players

who give a crap. Many of these kids are going to school for free, thanks to the generous donations from fans and alumni. If they can’t appreciate that enough to keep their noses clean, then they don’t deserve to be wearing orange and white.

Serious athletes who appreciate the opportunity they have been given know how to control themselves and their behavior. If a situation becomes questionable, they remove themselves from it. Students and fans deserve these kinds of athletes — the ones who work hard and represent their school not only with talent but also with class and decency.

Fans, boosters, alumni and students are the reason these student-athletes have scholarships, great facilities, wonderful resources and special treatment. Wearing the Power T is a privilege, not a right. And every single one of the athletes needs to understand that. They should be filling Knoxville with a sense of Volunteer pride, not shame and embarrassment.

It’s really not too much to ask. These guys are still college students — they should be able to enjoy themselves. But there’s a fine line between having fun and robbing people and busting people’s skulls. Let’s be honest, guys, it’s really not that hard not to get arrested.

If the UT Athletics Department continues to let criminal behavior go without proper punishment, it can wave goodbye to any traces of dignity it once had. And if the players aren’t mature and responsible enough to control themselves, then maybe coaches need to step in and make sure they aren’t engaging in illegal activity. We cannot just turn our heads and try to ignore this problem because it’s clearly not going to resolve itself.

I love UT sports, and I will continue to support the athletes who give their all for Tennessee. But I think I speak for many students and fans when I say it’s time to lay down the hammer. We don’t need any more disgraces on Rocky Top. — Amber Harding is a senior in journalism and electronic media. She can be reached at ahardin8@utk.edu.

‘Eclipse’ proves uninspired drivel Jake Lane

GULF SHORES, Ala. — Tens of thousands of people dressed in Hawaiian shirts and parrot hats sang and danced on a broad beach Sunday at a free Jimmy Buffett concert meant to show not all the tourists are covered in oil on the Gulf Coast.

The show, which was telecast live on the CMT cable channel, came on a particularly good day: The skies were mostly clear and only a little oil was washing in on the white sand about 100 miles north of the Deepwater Horizon site. A sand-filled barrier erected by the Alabama National Guard kept members of the audience from getting near the surf just in case.

Buffett, who grew up on the Alabama coast, came on stage to a huge cheer.

"It's a little like Jazz Fest with an ocean," said Buffett, referring to the huge music festival in New Orleans. "It is a pleasure to be here on a beautiful Gulf Coast day."

Buffett's set list included favorites like "Son of a Son of a Sailor," ''Come Monday" and "Margaritaville," with its line about "all of those tourists covered with oil." His biggest fans, who call themselves "Parrotheads," sang along with every word.

Alabama Gov. Bob Riley said the state might use its $15 million in tourism promotion money from BP to stage additional shows through the fall.

"With all the Gulf states running commercials saying, 'Our beaches our beautiful,' we'll show people ours are," Riley said. "It would be something different, and a great way to get people to the coast."

Florida Gov. Charlie Crist even came to see Buffett.

"I think all the Gulf states will benefit from this," Crist said. "We're all in this together. God bless Jimmy Buffett."

The Buffett bash accomplished its goal of luring visitors to the coast despite the oil spill: Parking lots were fuller than they had been in days outside of hotels, condominiums, restaurants and souvenir stores in this beach town of 5,000 residents.

Organizers gave away 35,000 tickets, but an officials attendance count wasn't available.

The concert originally was scheduled for July 1 but had to be postponed because heavy surf from Hurricane Alex.

Buffett was born in Mississippi and grew up on the Alabama coast, and his sister owns a popular restaurant and marina on the intracoastal waterway within a few miles of the beach. Buffett played a surprise concert there on June 30 after the cancellation.

Entertainment Editor As summer temperatures escalate, most people can only think about the night, when the sun goes down and the moon allures with a sense of cool.

Unfortunately, moviegoers respond in much the same manner and are rewarded with a blockbuster lineup which leaves more than a bit to be desired.

Two weeks ago Summit Entertainment rolled out the next adapted installment of Stephanie Meyer’s wildfire “Twilight” series.

As with its predecessors, the film continues the tawdry love affair of Bella Swan, the overly emotional teenage “everywoman” and her Purgatoried vampire beau Edward Cullen. There is also that perpetual cockblock Jacob Black, who despite wolfpack bros and their whiles cannot seem to get Bella’s love or time. When she does hang out, he pounces on her, in a hilarious display that ends with hurt pride and a sprained hand.

Many critics of the series have noted that the acting seems passionless and the characters overly mechanical. This reviewer main-

tains, however, that these shortcomings are not the fault of the cast in any way. Though Rob Pattinson will ride his looks as long as possible, he is still affably mediocre when he isn’t trying to brood. In fact, Pattinson turns in the least awkward performance this time around, showing that like his fellow Harry Potter alumni, repetition lends the actor a sense of living in their character and putting forth a convincing front, regardless of if they can actually have any talent.

The same goes for leading lady Kristen Stewart, who has neither isolation or a vampiric tracker to scrapple with this time around, pondering more whether or not to undergo the venomous change to bloodsucker and kiss goodbye all she knows as a human. Stewart’s acting has not so much improved as much as her material provides more to work with. Though she may not hold a little gold guy anytime soon, the actress’s lesserknown material and smaller run efforts have cemented her career for a respectable trajectory, possibly with the leading role of damaged hacking prodigy Lisbeth Salander in the American adapta-

tions of Stieg Larsson’s best-selling “Millenium” trilogy.

The real problem with “Eclipse” and its ilk falls on Meyer, whose “Just Wait” take on Harlequin romance should never have gotten as far as it has. As come cliche-spewing genius once quoth, “There is no accounting for taste.” And in the case of Meyer’s work, it is even understandable how one could be drawn in.

Vampires! Werewolves!

Washington!

OK, maybe not the last one for the tweens, although the Pacific Northwest’s geography and cinematic quality often salvage the aforementioned skullduggery of the author. The characters, even given their supernatural conceits, lack the quality of human creation, the most common of all aesthetic qualities in art. Though cultures may forever separate certain groups of humans, at least everyone can relate to certain universal feelings. Meyer apparently is unfamiliar with any or has lived under a rock of unrequited love for a literal eternity. I feel no sympathy.

THESPORTSPAGE

Future of UT’s reputation rests on Dooley Kevin Huebschman Sports Editor

Ten-on-one is apparently the only way to win a fight. If that’s really the mindset that the entire defense keeps, I don’t see how the UT football team doesn’t strike fear into the heart of every opposing ball carrier this year.

Of course, this is assuming that literally half the starting defense doesn’t carry that mentality into an early Friday morning brawl at Bar Knoxville before the season even begins.

There’s stupid, and then there’s let’s-rob-a-couple-guysoutside-a-well-lit-Pilot-station-next-to-campus stupid, and the Friday morning fracas tips the latter side of that scale. Several guys (six according to police reports, at least seven according to some early media reports) beat one

guy to a bloody pulp, only then to turn around and put a police officer in the hospital.

Darren Myles gets caught by an officer and, allegedly of course, decides to elbow him in the face, which is a felony.

To top it off, the co-owner of the bar candidly admits in a post-incident interview to violating NCAA regulations.

The list of idiotic actions keeps going, but I only get a few hundred words to work with. I know these guys receive scholarships to play football, not to earn 4.0s, but they had to graduate high school, with passing grades no less, for those scholarship offers to mean anything. So where, exactly, did their brains go that night?

The stupidest thing of all, though, is the amount of pressure these guys have just put on their rookie head coach.

Derek Dooley hasn’t even

ARRESTED continued from Page 1 According to the UTPD report, along with Myles and Rogers, junior college transfer defensive tackle John Brown, senior wide receiver Denarious Moore and freshman wide receiver Matt Milton were questioned regarding the assault on Capouellez but were not taken into custody. Also according to the report, assault charges on Milton are pending.

Sophomore defensive tackle Montori Hughes, who doesn’t

been head coach for six months, but already I’ve heard people blame this on Dooley and his coaching.

Let’s get this straight first: Dooley cannot hold their hands. He isn’t the legal guardian for a single one, and they are all legal adults. They have to be able to make their own decisions and control themselves in adverse situations. The fault does not fall on him.

The responsibility, unfortunately, does. This may not have been the script Dooley planned, but how he handles this situation will define how he is viewed as a coach, both by his fanbase and by the rest of the nation. Take the right actions, and, win or lose, he will have the respect of millions. Take the wrong actions, àla Lane Kiffin, and people love him as long as he’s useful.

That being said, his response Friday was a good start. It’ll be hard for anyone down the line to claim that Dooley was playing favorites, when his first action was to dismiss Myles, a projected starter at safety, and indefinitely suspend Marlon Walls, a starting defensive tackle.

Dooley may now have some breathing room to digest Friday’s events and figure out where the team is headed from here, but he can’t stop with an expulsion and two indefinite suspensions. No fewer than six players were involved in hospitalizing two men, which means no fewer than six punishments should be handed out.

This isn’t a simple situation where the players can be forgiven for their first offense, as long as it doesn’t happen again. It’s a situation that should never occur to begin

appear in any police reports, hired prominent Knoxville attorney Gregory Issacs to represent him.

Dooley has stressed building character since arriving in Knoxville, even creating a “Vol for Life” program with former Vol defensive back Andre Lott as coordinator.

“What I will say is that there’s been a lot of positive things happening in our program in the last few months and a lot of positive changes in our culture internally with some of our players, with our team,” Dooley said. “We’re not going to let this incident ruin the positive changes that are happening.”

with, and it’s definitely not OK for players who spend 12 Saturdays a year in the spotlight of an entire region to be involved in something like this.

To make the players realize that, though, Dooley can’t focus on changing the mindset of a few athletes. He has to change the culture of the entire football team. This is neither the first nor the largest wave of criminal activity to sweep through the UT football team. After a 16month period that saw 20 players arrested in 20042005, the school even got a mock award, the Fulmer Cup, annually given to the FBS school with the worst criminal record, named for its coach.

The issue here, of course, is that to focus on such a monumental change, both Dooley and the fanbase have

to accept that Tennessee is in a no-win situation. It isn’t possible to clean up the Tennessee name and go back to winning at the same time.

We can keep on sliding the actions of our criminal athletes under the carpet in order to reach a bowl game or two and pray that the situation never entirely boils over — as if aggressive assault, assault of a police officer and armed robbery aren’t bad enough. Or Dooley can do the right thing, the necessary thing, and divvy out the punishments required to make players understand that they are no longer untouchable, that things are changing on Rocky Top. Dooley’s taken a step in the right direction, but he’s got a long way to go before the current situation, let alone the football program’s reputation, can be fixed.
