Injuries mar beginning of Vols’ fall camp Matt Dixon Staff Writer Just four days into fall camp, the Tennessee football team suffered a pair of setbacks on its defensive line. Projected starters Ben Martin and Marlon Walls each injured an Achilles tendon and will be out indefinitely, possibly the entire season. “Our Achilles heel so far has been our Achilles heel,” head coach Derek Dooley said after practice Sunday. “Marlon, it looks like he’s going to be out for awhile with the same injury as Ben. So that’s too bad.” Martin started 11 games last season at defensive end and recorded 38 tackles and 3.5 sacks. Walls appeared in seven games a year ago at defensive tackle, collecting two tackles against Memphis. Both Martin and Walls have a redshirt year available if either is unable to play this season. Defensive end was one of the Vols’ deepest positions entering fall camp with veterans Martin, Chris Walker, Gerald Williams and Willie Bohannan, freshmen Jacques Smith and Corey Miller and transfer Malik Jackson from USC. “I had to be an even more vocal leader when Ben Martin stepped out,” Williams said. “Chris Walker and I, as seniors, are going to lead the defense to the best of our ability along with (linebacker) Nick Reveiz and all the other seniors coming back.” Defensive tackle was one of the major question marks entering the year. Dooley said he only has confidence in sophomore Montori Hughes right now. “I don’t have a sense for what any of the (defensive) tackles can do other than Montori right now,” Dooley said. “Montori is a really good player. He plays with great reckless abandon out there. He’s got tremendous competitive fire. We need to get more guys like him.” On Sunday, senior Victor Thomas was moved to defensive tackle after working at center in the spring and early in fall

Matt Simms, junior transfer from California, prepares for a play at the Orange and White game in April. The Vols kicks off the fall football season against UT-Martin on Sept. 4. camp. Thomas, along with Rae Sykes, Arthur Jeffrey and Steven Fowlkes, will be asked to step up with the absence of Walls and seize his opportunity. “But here’s the thing about football,” Dooley said. “You can’t sulk too long. Injuries are a part of it, and you just adjust and move on. It doesn’t mean you don’t hurt for the guys that are injured, but they’ll be fine. It’s opportunity. One man’s loss is another man’s opportunity.” One new Vol taking advantage of an opportunity is Brent Brewer. A 22-year-old freshman, Brewer spent the past four years playing minor league baseball in the Milwaukee Brewers organization. He was originally committed to Florida State but was drafted by the Brewers in the second round of the 2006 MLB Draft. He has already impressed Dooley enough for the first-year
head coach to use a baseball term to describe the safety. “I think (Brewer) is going to be a steal for us,” he said. “He’s a great athlete. He’s instinctive. The problem is he hasn’t played (football) in five years, and that’s a long time.” Being away from football for five years has meant Brewer has had to learn quickly, but he believes it is coming back to him naturally. “I’m still trying to work on my backpedal, reading the routes the wide receivers are running and getting that hitting instinct back,” Brewer said. “I’m doing pretty well. It’s coming slow, but I should be good by the end of camp. I’m out here working hard every day, trying to learn the playbook. It’s hard, (but) I didn’t come in here thinking it was going to be easy.” Fall camp continues this week with the team in full pads.
Investigation explains virus travel Turnaround evident in child welfare Staff Reports
Staff Reports
HIV-AIDS. SARS. Ebola. Bird Flu. Swine Flu. Rabies. These are emerging infectious diseases where the viruses have jumped from one animal species into another and now infect humans. This is a phenomenon known as cross-species transmission (CST) and scientists are working to determine what drives it. Gary McCracken, a UT professor and department head in ecology and evolutionary biology, is one of those scientists and has made a groundbreaking discovery into how viruses jump from host to host. His article, “Host Phylogeny Constrains Cross-Species Emergence and Establishments of Rabies Virus in Bats,” will appear in the Aug. 6 edition of Science and will be featured on the issue’s cover. It has been a long-held belief that rapid mutation is the main factor that allows viruses to overcome host-specific barriers in cellular, molecular or immunological defenses. Therefore, it has been argued that viruses emerge primarily between species with high contact rates. McCracken and his colleagues now report that CST may have less to do with virus mutation and contact rates and more to do with host similarity. “That innate similarity in the defenses of closely related species may favor virus exchange by making it easier for natural selection to favor a virus’ ability to infect new hosts,” McCracken explained. McCracken performed his research with former UT Ph.D. student Amy Turmelle who now works with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Maarten J. Vonhof, a former post-doctoral scholar at UT, who is now with Western Michigan University. Other colleagues include CDC Rabies Team Members Ivan Kuzmin, Charles Rupprecht and Daniel Streicker, who is also with the University of Georgia. The team made their discovery by analyzing hundreds of rabies viruses in 23 species of bats. In the United States, there are at least 45 different species of bats and many different strains of rabies. Not coincidentally, the CDC collects rabid bats after humans or their pets or livestock may have been exposed to the virus — adding nearly 2,000 bats annually to its database. McCracken and his colleagues used this database to document the cases in which a rabies virus jumped from one species of bat to another. They verified the cases by genotyping both the viruses and the bats. The researchers documented over 200 examples of CSTs and analyzed the best explanations for CSTs, such as geographic range, behavior, ecology and genetic relatedness. The study found that the majority of viruses from cross-species infections were tightly nested among genetically similar bat species. “It turns out, the most important factor in cross-species transmission is how closely related the bat species are,” McCracken said. “Our study demonstrates that rapid evolution can be insufficient to overcome phylogenetic barriers at two crucial stages of viral emergence: initial infection and sustained transmission.” This discovery may have significant implications for public health authorities as they try to track where the next infectious disease will emerge. The team’s research provides a model for how such diseases transfer from host to host. “Although CST events are the source of infectious diseases that kill millions of people each year, the natural reservoirs of viruses in wild animals and how they cross species barriers are poorly known and difficult to observe. In this study, rabies in bats serves as a model to understand events that are critical to public health concerns worldwide,” McCracken said. The team’s research was supported, in part, by a National Science FoundationNational Institutes of Health Ecology of Infectious Disease grant to UT.
Tennessee has reduced the number of children in its foster care system by 34 percent since 2000, while providing more effective help to families, according to a study released by Casey Family Programs. The study shows the number of children in state custody in Tennessee has fallen since 2000 from 10,144 to 6,702 in 2009. In addition, Tennessee has decreased the number of children in longterm foster care, and the rate of children in out-of-home placements is now below the national average. At the same time, recurrences of abuse and neglect in children have decreased, indicating the safety of reform efforts. The study was conducted to share the examples of states and counties that have been successful in child welfare reform. It outlines the way the Tennessee Department of Children’s Services has worked with Youth Villages, its largest private provider, to bring about reform. Casey Family Programs is the nation’s largest operating foundation focused entirely on foster care and improving the child welfare system. “Tennessee is a jurisdiction that has achieved a significant and safe reduction in the number of children in the child welfare system,” the study concluded. The complete study is available at www.youthvillages.org. “This is a tribute to the dedication and professionalism of our staff and our partners across the state,” said Viola Miller, DCS commissioner. “The hard work over the past few years required us to examine what we were doing well and where we needed to improve. We could not have achieved these gains without the diligence and vision of partners such as Youth Villages. Together, we are helping to ensure the safety and well-being of the children we all serve.” Nationwide, more than 500,000 chil-
dren are growing up in foster care or residential facilities in individual state child welfare and mental health systems. Many states are under federal court oversight that mandates they help children return to their families or find permanency quickly through adoption. In Tennessee, Children’s Rights, a national child advocacy group, brought the Brian A. lawsuit against the Tennessee Department of Children’s Services in 2000. A federal court settlement monitors reform efforts. When Gov. Phil Bredesen appointed Miller to lead DCS in 2003, the state was failing to make progress on compliance items involved in the Brian A. settlement. The report credits Miller with the leadership needed to develop and implement wide-ranging strategic plans that brought change to the department. “Tennessee deserves to be recognized as a leader in child welfare reform and receive acclaim for bringing the most effective help to its most vulnerable children and their families,” said Patrick W. Lawler, chief executive officer of Youth Villages. “Youth Villages has been honored to work with Commissioner Miller and her staff as DCS adopted innovative new treatment approaches and made difficult structural changes.” Utah, Illinois and counties in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Florida and Washington have been the subjects of previous reports. Youth Villages’ work in Tennessee has made it one of the country’s fastest-growing nonprofit organizations, now helping more than 16,000 children each year in 10 states and Washington, D.C. Named one of the Top 50 Nonprofits to Work For by Nonprofit Times, Youth Villages has been recognized by Harvard Business School and U.S. News & World Report, and was identified by The White House as one of the nation’s most promising results-oriented nonprofit organizations.

Knoxville-native Patricia Neal passes away The Associated Press KNOXVILLE — Patricia Neal, the willowy, husky-voiced actress who won an Academy Award for 1963’s “Hud” and then survived several strokes to continue acting, died on Sunday. She was 84. Neal had lung cancer and died surrounded by her family at her home in Edgartown, Mass., on Martha’s Vineyard. “She faced her final illness as she had all of the many trials she endured: with indomitable grace, good humor and a great deal of her self-described stubbornness,” her family said in a statement. Neal was already an award-winning Broadway actress when she won her Oscar for her role as a housekeeper to the Texas father (Melvyn Douglas) battling his selfish, amoral son (Paul Newman). Less than two years later, she suffered a series of strokes in 1965 at age 39. Her struggle to once again walk and talk is regarded as epic in the annals of stroke rehabilitation. She returned to the screen to earn another Oscar nomination and three Emmy nominations. The Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center that helps people recover from strokes and spinal cord and brain injuries is named for her in Knoxville, where she grew up. “She never forgot us after she went to Hollywood,” said 85year-old Bud Albers, who graduated with Neal from Knoxville High School in 1943, and still lives in the city. Whenever she was in town, a bunch of her friends would always get together and have dinner, Albers said. She had wanted to be there next week for a golf tournament that benefits the center, he said. “She was so courageous,” he said of her battling back from her illnesses and losing her 7-year-old daughter to measles in 1962. “She always fought back. She was very much an inspiration.” In her 1988 autobiography, “As I Am,” she wrote, “Frequently my life has been likened to a Greek tragedy, and the actress in me cannot deny that comparison.” Neal projected force that almost crackled on the screen. Her forte was drama, but she had a light touch that enabled her to do comedy, too. She had the female leads in the 1949 film version of Ayn
Neal also suffered a nervous breakdown, and had an ill-fated affair with Gary Cooper, who starred with her in “The Fountainhead.” “I lived this secret life for several years. I was so ashamed,” she told The New York Times in 1964. The strokes at first paralyzed her and impaired her speech. After recovering, she limped and had bad vision in one eye. A 1991 biopic about her travails starred Glenda Jackson as Neal. Her family said her dedication to the rehab center and advocacy for stroke sufferers was a great source of hope for them and their families and a “constant inspiration to our family.” In 1999, she starred in her first feature film in 10 years in the title role in Robert Altman’s “Cookie’s Fortune.” She said at the time that movie offers had been scarce in recent years. “I don’t quite understand it, but nobody calls me and nobody wants me. But I love to act.”Neal was born in a mining camp in Packard, Ky., the daughter of a transportation manager for the South Coal & Coke Co. After leaving Knoxville, she attended Northwestern University and then struck out for Photo courtesy of the New York Times Broadway. Her Broadway credits included “A Roomful of Rand’s novel “The Fountainhead,” the classic 1951 science ficRoses,” ‘’The Miracle Worker” (as Helen Keller’s mother, tion film “The Day the Earth Stood Still” and Elia Kazan’s Kate) and a revival of Lillian Hellman’s drama “The Children’s 1957 drama “A Face in the Crowd.” She made a grand return to the screen after her strokes in Hour.” She made her screen debut in 1949’s “John Loves Mary,” 1968, winning an Oscar nomination for her performance in that also starred Jack Carson and Ronald Reagan. “The Subject Was Roses.” Her three Emmy nominations were all for roles in notable In 1971, she played Olivia Walton in “The Homecoming: A Christmas Story,” a made-for-TV film that served as the pilot drama specials: Besides “The Homecoming,” they were “Tail for the CBS series “The Waltons.” It brought her the first of Gunner Joe,” a 1977 drama about Sen.

Alabama’s biggest casino closes as raid looms The Associated Press MONTGOMERY, Ala.— Alabama's largest electronic bingo operation closed Monday as its owner tried to prevent a raid by the governor's anti-gambling task force on the last non-Indian casino still doing business in the state. Victoryland owner Milton McGregor was awaiting word on a court ruling that could clear the way for a raid similar to those in recent months, when Gov. Bob Riley's task force and its commander, John Tyson, shut down the casinos and authorities hauled out dozens of the bingo machines. Many of the casinos were in poor, mostly black areas of the state, and the raids have spurred protests in the past. "It is apparent from Tyson and Riley's latest legal shenanigans and threats that they will stop at nothing to put on a show and attempt to raid Victoryland to garner one last bit of publicity before Czar Riley leaves office and the task force is disbanded," McGregor said. Riley and Tyson contend court rulings have made it clear the casino is an illegal
slot machine operation. Tyson said a raid could still happen if the Supreme Court includes language allowing the seizure of bingo machines. A ruling is expected within a few days. "The law is crystal clear. It's so clear Milton McGregor decided to close down today because he can anticipate what the ruling is going to be," Tyson said. Victoryland, located 15 miles east of Montgomery in the Shorter community, started 25 years ago as a dog track. In recent years it added traditional paper bingo and then electronic bingo machines. The machines feature flashing lights and rapid play similar to slots, but McGregor contends they are simply an electronic version of paper bingo, which is legal. The machines have been a huge success, making Victoryland the largest employer and largest taxpayer in rural, mostly black Macon County. Monday's closing idled 6,000 machines and 600 workers. The privately operated games were supposed to benefit charity. But court records show that Victoryland's games grossed $503 million over five years and gave $4.4 million to charity — less than 1 percent per year.
The casino's net profits, after expenses are deducted, were not disclosed. "One Percent McGregor talks a big game about how his slot machines aren't really slot machines, but when it's time to lay his cards down on the table, he folds and runs away like a scalded dog," said Jeff Emerson, the governor's spokesman. Macon County's district attorney and sheriff have contended the casino is legal. Late Monday afternoon, their lawyers urged the Alabama Supreme Court not to grant Tyson's request to raid Victoryland and confiscate its bingo machines. They argued that the governor and Tyson are usurping the power of local officials. "There is no emergency and no reason to change the law for Tyson's benefit," District Attorney E. Paul Jones said. Raids and the threat of raids have forced other casinos to close at least temporarily, including Greenetrack in Greene County, where protesters were arrested, and Country Crossing at Dothan, which investors had planned as the centerpiece of a country music-themed entertainment complex. Indian casinos at Montgomery,
Wetumpka and Atmore are under federal regulation, not state, and have continued to offer electronic bingo. The crowds at Indian casinos have swelled, with parking lots jammed on weekends. Indian and nonIndian casinos in Mississippi, which allows a full range of games, have also aimed marketing campaigns at Alabamians looking for another place to gamble. After some changes, Victoryland plans to reopen its dog track Thursday without electronic games. Victoryland attorney Mark White said the future of its bingo machines depends on two things: the outcome of a federal lawsuit and who is elected the state's next governor. The lawsuit accuses the task force of violating the Voting Rights Act because Macon County citizens had previously voted to allow bingo there. Meanwhile, Riley is term-limited and a new governor will take office in January. Both the Democratic and Republican nominees have pledged to fire the task force's commander and put gambling to a statewide vote. Democratic nominee Ron Sparks says he will allow closed casinos to reopen until that vote takes place.

Rising — Relevancy of a 2002 Scrooge McDuck comic So apparently “Inception” ripped off a Scrooge McDuck comic from 2002. Well probably not but it’s still an amusing story. The Scrooge comic, titled “Dream of a Lifetime,” follows the Bugle Boys’ attempts at stealing money from Scrooge’s infamous money pond — a nirvana that we all seek in this life. The rough and tumble Bugle Boys hijack an invention, which allows someone to enter into someone else’s dreams while they sleep. (Does that sound familiar?) The boys plan to enter into Scrooge’s dream — since they posit Scrooge is always dreaming about his money — and get him to tell them the combinations to the vault door. Online, there are scene-by-scene breakdowns, comparing the comic to the movie, and it’s absolutely uncanny how well they match up. The Bugle Boys even have to go to sleep in order to enter Scrooge’s dreams. Without getting into “Inception” spoilers, I will leave it at that, but breakdowns online go into vivid detail. Of course, according to The AV Club, director Christopher Nolan wrote the treatment for “Inception” in 2001, a year before this comic was published. So I guess, if that’s true, it makes it impossible to be plagiarism, if one took the Scrooge McDuck comic seriously. However, it still does not explain how a Scrooge comic, with such an eerily similar premise, was ever published. Do the Nolans know any writers of Disney comics? Did they hang out and perhaps talk too candidly about future projects? There’s got to be an explanation here. Falling — The life span of “Entourage” “Entourage” is just one of those shows that you keep watching out of habit. Sure, some people absolutely love it, but once you watch other, better shows on networks like HBO, Showtime, AMC and FX, you realize just how mediocre to actually bad “Entourage” is. I first watched “Entourage” with the start of its second season. That feels so long ago now that the show is in its seventh season. But, maybe with the exception of Ricky Gervais’ “Extras,” “Entourage” was the first show from the premium channels that I ever encountered. So maybe my initial interest in the show was that it was of higher quality than broadcast television, which I was admittedly disillusioned with by the mid-2000s. But after seeing so many better shows like “Six Feet Under,” “The Sopranos,” “Dexter,” “United States of Tara,” “Nurse Jackie,” “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” “Mad Men,” “Breaking Bad,” “Californication,” “Hung,” “Big Love” and the list goes on, I began to just watch “Entourage” out of mere obligation. “Entourage” simply equates to the male version of “Sex and the City.” It’s a running joke that so many episodes simply end with everyone smiling, ready to hook up with women, drinking a lot of liquor and dreaming about how much more rich they are going to be. It also does not help that the characters are all rich in general. Like with “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” it gets really irritating to hear about rich people’s problems sometimes. (An example: That time when Turtle, like, really wanted those $1,000 pajamas.) Well those days of watching “Entourage” out of some strange, completist obligation are almost over. According to Hitflix, at a question-and-answer session between the Television Critics Association and HBO executives, it was said that the next season of “Entourage,” due out next summer, will be its last. Good news for people ready for “Entourage” to die as well is that the last season will be an abbreviated one in order to tie up loose ends. The AV Club asked the question, and I have to repeat it: What loose ends? This show is devoid of loose ends. It barely tells storylines that go across two episodes, except for who is hooking up with who and what Vinnie Chase and Drama are doing this year. Apparently also the show’s Doug Ellin is already pitching ideas for other shows. It will be very interesting to see along what lines those ideas are. If they are at all related to guys just partying all the time and making money, with little to no substance in between, then color me uninterested. Falling — Bank accounts of Knoxville music hipsters I include myself in that category so no angry letters, please. Sufjan Stevens — the man who had the gimmick of creating an album for all 50 states until he seemingly got bored with music in general — announced his fall tour. He’s coming to Knoxville’s Bijou Theatre Nov. 5. Tickets are $35 plus service fees, but if he is playing selections from his classic “Michigan” and “Illinois” albums, then it’s most likely worth it. And it’s especially worth it if he dresses up in any creative get-ups, like the cheerleader uniforms from the “Illinois” tour.

Boise State’s success deserves recognition Tuesda ernoon uesdayy Aft Afternoon
Sp o r ts Ti m e with
Kevin Huebschman
I have an end-of-summer question for the college football buffs out there: Which FBS team capped off an undefeated 2009 season by topping the nation’s best defense and returns all but one starter, including one of the nation’s most efficient quarterbacks? If you didn’t know the answer (Boise State), you’d assume this team would either be ranked No. 1 or at least have several votes for the No. 1 slot — right? Maybe not. Boise bookended a perfect 14win season with wins over Oregon and TCU. If that doesn’t sound impressive, keep in mind that Oregon won the Pac-10 outright, the first time a non-USC team has done so in eight years, and TCU fielded the nation’s top defense last year. The respect, or lack thereof, the Broncos earned for their 2009 success was a No. 5 preseason ranking and no first-place votes. True, Alabama won the national championship, returns several key starters, and probably deserves its 55 first-place votes, and Boise doesn’t deserve to supplant them just yet, but isn’t it about time to accept that the Broncos receive a little recognition? Obviously, Boise’s placement in the WAC, where it contends with the likes of Fresno State and Utah State, makes it difficult for the school to provide a substantial argument against the claims of being overrated and playing a cupcake schedule. However, those claims have been ongoing since Chris Petersen became the head coach in 2005, and all he’s done since then is compile a 49-4 record in four seasons, and that includes a paltry — by his standards at least — 10-3 record in 2007. Since Boise joined the WAC in 2001, it has never finished worse than second and has won

the conference seven times in that period. Those seasons also feature two BCS bowl wins in two attempts. That hardly screams overrated. It’s not as though Boise has ignored its critics in this argument, though. The school has aggressively campaigned for a tougher schedule, offering to play anyone virtually anywhere (Virginia Tech accepted the offer for the 2010 season). It also accepted a bid to join the Mountain West Conference, which means a significant jump in conference competition. Boise isn’t the only school to fall victim to the outlook that if a school isn’t BCS, it’s not the best, though. It’s simply the most recent. Utah’s 2008-2009 ran the table on a Mountain West schedule that was at least as difficult as many BCS schedules and finished by dominating an Alabama team that had just challenged Florida for a spot in the national championship game. The Utes were the only undefeated team that year, yet finished the season ranked fourth in USA Today’s poll. Utah lost many of its starters after the season and suffered an understandable dip in the preseason rankings. Boise’s dip isn’t so easy to understand, even if it is a single rank, since it returns 23 starters. Even if a questionable schedule is factored into the mix, though, Boise should still be a team that turns heads. Petersen’s unquestioned success aside, the Broncos return nearly every starting position from last year. Kellen Moore, one of the nation’s best quarterbacks last year, leads a truly stacked offense, and while defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox left Boise for Tennessee, most of the nation’s 14th-best defense returns as well. To say that an automatic qualifier such as Boise State deserves to share the pedestal with Alabama to start 2010 is a stretch at this point. But as both Boise and Utah — not to mention TCU and BYU to a lesser extent — have shown, a team can only be seen as an overachiever for so long. It’s time for the college football world to accept that a mid-major can, in fact, play with the big guys.
It has finally occurred to the NFL that 300pound men regularly slamming each other to the ground may have long-term health effects. The biggest concern for the league lately has been working to avoid concussions and other head injuries. Companies have developed special helmets with extra padding to protect against the hard hits, and most recently, referees are jumping on board. Here is the rundown of some of the new rules that will take effect this season: Umpires will no longer stand on the defensive side of the ball. Rather, they’ll be 15 yards into the offensive backfield. I understand the point of this one. Even with Ed Hochuli’s guns, he could still get hurt if he gets clobbered by a wide receiver stretching out for a ball. The problem with this one, though, is that the umpire is responsible for spotting the ball. If he has to spot the ball then run 15 yards before it can be snapped, this is going to be a huge deterrence for no-huddle and hurry-up offenses. The NFL did take this situation into consideration, however, and they have decided that the umpire will maintain his original position (on the defensive side) during the final two minutes of each half. However, if your team’s down by three scores with four minutes left in the game, you’re pretty much in trouble. A punt returner must have a “reasonable” chance to catch a muffed kick. This rule essentially means that a defender cannot snag a ball the returner bobbled out of the air until the receiving player has had a chance to get the ball after his initial bobble. Frankly, I think this rule is stupid. If a returner bobbles a ball, it’s his own fault. Next thing you know, sacks will be outlawed because they’ll be making a rule that a quarterback must have a “reasonable” chance to throw the ball after an offensive lineman whiffs. Also, I’m not quite sure how this rule change helps to prevent injuries. If a defender snags a bobbled ball, it’s going to be a lot safer than waiting until the guy catches it then clocking him
in the side of the head. Besides, let’s not make special teams any less exciting than they already are. If a ball carrier’s helmet comes off, the ball is dead at the spot the helmet came off. OK, I can live with this one. Getting tackled without a helmet probably isn’t going to end well for the ball carrier. However, I can already see my fantasy team losing by four points because my running back forgot to tighten his chinstrap. Here are a few rule changes for 2010 that don’t involve concussions: Overtime games in the postseason will no longer be decided by sudden death. If the team that wins the coin toss scores a field goal on that possession, the other team gets one possession to score as well. If the team that gets the ball first scores a touchdown on that possession, the game is over. If both teams score a field goal or do not score on their opening possession, it goes to sudden death. Seriously, NFL, I applaud you for trying, but if you’re going to do it, do it. The sudden death rule is ridiculous. Even in the regular season, it’s not fair to decide a game based on who can win a coin toss and then kick a 50-yard field goal. Quit whining. OK, this isn’t really a rule. But the refs indicated that players are increasingly begging for fouls to be called, such as when a receiver pulls an imaginary flag from his imaginary pocket. The NFL has indicated that this kind of behavior could lead to penalties in the future. Personally, I’d love to see Tom Brady get flagged every time he points at the umpire and expects a call in his favor. If I had to guess, I’d say this penalty would likely come in the form of “unsportsmanlike conduct.” But 15 yards seems a little harsh. Maybe they’ll institute a special “whining” clause that calls for a 5- or 10-yarder instead. All in all, I’m in favor of safety and fairness. And I think it’s in the NFL’s best interest to make sure that it protects both of these things. But there is a fine line. Football is, by nature, a rough and risky sport, and I just hope the NFL doesn’t get carried away. After all, I don’t want my precious Sunday afternoons turning into a rally of the London Silly Nannies. YouTube it. — Amber Harding is a senior in journalism and electronic media.

ENTERTAINMENT
Entertainment editor reviews music video Jake Lane Entertainment Editor In a world where random association ruled mental processes, strange flights of the human mind would not shock and please in the ways that currently exist in the realm of entertainment. In other words, we probably would not have entertainment, as nothing could possibly surprise us. Thankfully no such world exists, or at least we humans do not currently inhabit it. Thus, the new video from Nick Cave’s middle-aged creeper group Grinderman still rips at the bodices of the mind and makes the viewer alternately uncomfortably and eerily
fascinated. To begin, any fan of the Bad Seeds or the Birthday Party knows Cave is anything but an average rock legend: from his heroin-addled wild boy ‘80s era, in which both his hair and sense of the macabre dominated his records, through the more palatable ‘90s where love songs and “Murder Ballads” drew in a wider crowd of fans, Cave has been an iconoclast and elder statesman to younger generations of kickers and morbid lovers. With “Grinderman” in 2007, Cave debuted a leering perverted uncle side, simultaneously bemoaning the indignities of aging and appearing hornier than ever, with a diminished form of his band of ruffians on backing duty. Last year, co-founding Seed Mick Harvey left the group and though a temporary replacement stood in on a cursory tour of Australia, no announcement of future plans has appeared from the Bad Seeds camp. When Grinderman announced their sophomore album last month and the single “Heathen Child,” along with

its cover illustration, observers could only speculate that things were getting weirder. The model, a dark-complected woman with bright orange hair and dripping chops, looked like a Vitamin C (remember her?) reinvented as a creole vampire. With their new video for the single, all assumptions of the strange seem to have been too modest. As Cave and company dance before a backdrop of fireworks and the cosmos, a mousy-but-beautiful girl soaks in a barely opaque bathtub, tormented by a tangible Breek bust with bleeding eyes, not to mention apparitions of Bigfoot, a hockey-masked stalker with comically large ears, Cave as Krishna and three of the band members hoisting Kalishnikovs and firing at the camera. With the cover model as cheerleader, Cave chronicles these inner demons and proclaims the bathtub girl as a “heathen child.” See MUSIC VIDEO on Page 6

Former Vol J.P. Arencibia has memorable MLB debut Staff Reports
Tia Patron • The Daily Beacon
The Pride of the Southland Band, which has seen numbers of participants grow exponentially this year, rehearses sets at band camp.
Hatcher named soccer All SEC Staff Reports According to a Monday release by the Southeastern Conference office in Birmingham, Ala., Tennessee Lady Vol midfielder/forward Chelsea Hatcher has been included among 15 selections to the league's annual Soccer Coaches Preseason All-SEC Team. The 5-7 junior is coming off a 2009 campaign during which she scored three goals (tied for second on the UT squad), dished an assist and totaled seven points on a team-high 76 shots. The Cincinnati, Ohio, native tickled the twine during matches against Western Carolina (W, 2-1), Mississippi State (W, 3-0) and No. 11 Florida (T, 2-2, 2OT), while registering a helper on a score by Amy Harrison during a victory at Alabama (W, 2-0). Her goal versus MSU served as the match winner, while her tally against the Gators dead-locked the match at 1-1 in the 35th minute. "Obviously, this is a tremendous honor for Chelsea, and we're really excited that she is representing Tennessee soccer on the preseason All-SEC squad," Lady Vol head coach Angela Kelly said. "It's a credit to Chelsea for the work she has put in during her first two years at UT. As a team we're looking forward to getting our season underway and competing against what will be a tough schedule in 2010." The former 2008 Soccer Buzz Central Region All-Freshman and SEC All-Freshman selection has seen playing time in 38 total matches with 25 starts during her time on Rocky Top, while starting in 15 of 17 contests as a sophomore in 2009. Hatcher and her teammates are prepping for an exhibition game on Saturday, in Louisville, Ky., against Louisville before christening the official campaign on Aug. 20, by hosting Western Kentucky at 7 p.m. at Regal Soccer Stadium.
Recycle! MUSIC VIDEO continued from Page 5 As music videos go, this one might be the best in an era of controversial faux-nudity and pelvic grinding that hop all around the issue of sexual desire and preoccupation, yet never portray it as a demon. While the video girl appears partially nude from the waist up with no editing in the way of motion blurs or stars, she is hardly sexualized: instead, we are to interpret her “demons” we see on the screen as symbolic of whatever “ heathen” desires have but her in the bath, which consists of some milky fluid which probably isn’t average bath water. The real appeal of the video, as with Cave’s entire catalogue, is that the man juggles the bizarre in such a way that it never fails to compel. Check out “Grinderman 2,” I know I will. Also, a 12-inch single for “Heathen Child” comes out Aug. 30, featuring a remix with Crimson King Robert Fripp doing what he does best, reinforcing multi-instrumentalist Warren Ellis’s primary assessment of the album: “like stoner rock meets Sly Stone via Amon Düül.”
A baseball player’s first game in the major leagues is something they typically never forget. That will be especially true for former Tennessee star and current Toronto Blue Jay J.P. Arencibia, who had one of the most memorable big league debuts in history. Called up on Wednesday night following an injury to starting catcher John Buck, Arencibia was penciled into the lineup for the first time Saturday afternoon against Tampa Bay. He wasted little time making a lasting impression, going 4-for-5 at the plate with two home runs, a double, a single, three runs scored and three RBIs. “It’s been unbelievable,” Arencibia said. “It’s been a great day. It’s been fun to be a part of. (I was) speechless. It’s been a long time, and I’m just excited that it worked out this way.” In the bottom of the second inning, Arencibia became just the 26th player in MLB history to hit a home run on the first pitch of his first big league at-bat, driving a 93 mph fastball from James Shields over the Blue Jay bullpen in left field. He saw just two pitches in his next plate appearance, which ended with him standing safely on second after a long double. After a single in the fifth frame, Arencibia came to the plate in the sixth, needing only a triple to complete the cycle. He would do one better though, taking another first-pitch fastball and drilling it over the right-field wall for his second longball of the day. Since 1900, only three other players have hit two home runs in their Major League debut, with the feat last accomplished by Mark Quinn with the Kansas City Royals in 1999. Bert Campaneris and Bob Nieman also did it in 1964 and 1951, respectively. Although he was retired on a fly ball in his final at-bat, Arencibia finished the game as the only player in the modern era (since 1900) with four hits and two home runs in his Major League debut. The four hits also tied the record for the most in a nine-inning debut. “J.P. had a heck of a day today,” Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston said. “One that he can go back and tell his grandkids about. I don’t know if anyone would believe it, though, unless they really saw it.” The 21st overall pick by the Blue Jays in 2007, Arencibia spent three years at Tennessee before leaving as a two-time All-American and one of the top power hitters in program history. The Miami, Fla., native hit .330 for his career and ranks third in UT history in total bases (381), fourth in RBIs (165), tied for sixth in home runs (33), tied for sixth in doubles (48) and seventh in hits (230). One of eight former Vols currently playing in the big leagues, Arencibia is also the fourth player from UT’s 2005 College World Series team to make it to “The Show,” joining Chase Headley (San Diego Padres), Luke Hochevar (Kansas City Royals) and Julio Borbon (Texas Rangers).
