Fair shows off clubs, organizations Alex Pierce Staff Writer

Staff Writer

On Thursday, Sept. 4, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., the UC ballroom was full of students attending the InVOLvement Fair, a UT tradition that celebrates the many clubs and organizations the school has.

Representatives from nearly every UT club were present. The original InVOLvement Fair was scheduled for Aug. 17, 2011, but was cancelled due to rain.

Political and religious groups were represented at the fair. The College Democrats and College Republicans sat side by side. A long row of Christian organizations were present, back to back with the Student Secular Alliance.

“We had a lot of people show interest, and a lot of just curious people which was surprising,” Benjamin Vanderford, a fifth-year psychology major and representative of the Secular Student Alliance, said. He also added that this year’s fair was more successful than the last.

Volunteer and community service clubs were abundant at the InVOLvement fair. Clinic Vols, the UT subdivision of the American Red Cross, was one participating organization.

“We’re always here, semester after semester” Chi Vo, a senior in nursing and psychology and member of Clinic Vols, said. “We have over 500 members, and a lot of them come from recruiting here.”

Another display was by the Redeeming Hope Ministries, an organization that specializes in helping the homeless.

“Most of our proceeds go to the Amplifier newspaper,” a paper written specifically so that homeless can sell it, said Margaret Conley, senior in animal science and participant in Redeeming

Hope.

The InVOLvement Fair also proved successful in another way.

“I got so much free stuff,” Ashley Brown, sophomore in psychology, said.

Michael Porter, sophomore in political science, agreed.

“I got a free water bottle, a ring, a magnet and a granola bar,” Porter said.

The granola bar came from the Kaplan display, which hosted a spinning wheel of free prizes.

“Are you going to go to graduate school?” Rachel Detweiler, the woman in charge of the Kaplan table, asked everyone who approached. Regardless of your answer, you were permitted to spin the wheel and play for prizes ranging from free candy to cash to a T-shirt.

Bolduve Gifts, a small business downtown, was also present, shilling free gifts. The table displayed a large selection of colorful rings. The owner of the shop, Tice Tansil, insisted everyone who visited his table take one.

“We’re trying to promote the store and the Old City in general,” Tansil said. “It’s suprising how few students actually are familiar with that area.”

Student participation this year was high compared to years past, and many signed up for new clubs.

“I signed up for Clinic Vols and Cardboard Club,” Brown said.

“My favorite part was finding out about all the different clubs on campus.”

Michael Porter, who registered for the S.O.L.D. office, said, “It introduced me to opportunities I would not have otherwise known about.”

The InVOLvement Fair takes place every year. For a full list of organizations at UT, go to http://activities.utk.edu/.

1552 — Magellan’s expedition circumnavigates globe One of Ferdinand Magellan’s five ships — the Vittoria — arrives at SanlÚcar de Barrameda in Spain, thus completing the first circumnavigation of the world. The Vittoria was commanded by Basque navigator Juan SebastiÁn de Elcano, who took charge of the vessel after the murder of Magellan in the Philippines in April 1521. During a long, hard journey home, the people on the ship suffered from starvation, scurvy and harassment by Portuguese ships. Only Elcano, 17 other Europeans, and four Indians survived to reach Spain in September 1522.

On Sept. 20, 1519, Magellan set sail from Spain in an effort to find a western sea route to the rich Spice Islands of Indonesia. In command of five ships and 270 men, Magellan sailed to West Africa and then to Brazil, where he searched the South American coast for a strait that would take him to the Pacific. He searched the RÍo de la Plata, a large estuary south of Brazil, for a way through; failing, he continued south along the coast of Patagonia. At the end of March 1520, the expedition set up winter quarters at Port St. Julian. On Easter day at midnight, the Spanish captains mutinied against their Portuguese captain, but Magellan crushed the revolt, executing one of the captains and leaving another ashore when his ship left St. Julian in August.

On Oct. 21, he finally discovered the strait he had been seeking. The Strait of Magellan, as it became known, is located near the tip of South America, separating Tierra del Fuego and the continental mainland. Only three ships entered the passage; one had been wrecked and another deserted. It took 38 days to navigate the treacherous strait, and when ocean was sighted at the other end Magellan wept with joy. He was the first European explorer to reach the Pacific Ocean from the Atlantic. His fleet accomplished the westward crossing of the ocean in 99 days, crossing waters so strangely calm that the ocean was named “Pacific,” from the Latin word pacificus, meaning “tranquil.” By the end, the men were out of food and chewed the leather parts of their gear to keep themselves alive. On March 6, 1521, the expedition landed at the

island of Guam.

Ten days later, they dropped anchor at the Philippine island of Cebu — they were only about 400 miles from the Spice Islands. Magellan met with the chief of Cebú, who after converting to Christianity persuaded the Europeans to assist him in conquering a rival tribe on the neighboring island of Mactan. In subsequent fighting on April 27, Magellan was hit by a poisoned arrow and left to die by his retreating comrades.

After Magellan’s death, the survivors, in two ships, sailed on to the Moluccas and loaded the hulls with spice. One ship attempted, unsuccessfully, to return across the Pacific. The other ship, the Vittoria, continued west under the command of Juan SebastiÁn de Elcano. The vessel sailed across the Indian Ocean, rounded the Cape of Good Hope, and arrived at the Spanish port of SanlÚcar de Barrameda on Sept. 6, 1522, becoming the first ship to circumnavigate the globe. The Vittoria then sailed up the Guadalquivir River, reaching Seville a few days later.

1884 — John C. Fremont reaches the Great Salt Lake On this day in 1844, the western explorer John C. Fremont arrives at the shores of the Great Salt Lake, one of the many areas he will map for the lasting benefit of a westward-moving nation.

When Fremont reached the strange saltwater inland lake (a remnant of the much larger prehistoric Lake Bonneville), he was not the first Euro-American to view its shores. As early as the 1820s, fur trappers had returned to the East with tales of a bizarre salt lake where no fish swam, and the French explorer Benjamin Bonneville was the first to map the lake’s outlines in 1837. But for the far-ranging John C. Fremont, the Great Salt Lake was only one small part of a much wider journey of discovery and mapping.

Born in Savannah, Ga., in 1813, Fremont began honing his skills as an explorer and mapmaker in his early twenties. His first major expedition was an 1842 survey of the Platte River for the U.S. Corps of Topographical Engineers.

Mills supply NYC heroin market Grads sue for-profit culinary schools The Associated Press NEW YORK — In many ways, the reputed drug dealers on Grandview Place were good neighbors.

Their two-story, red-brick home in the New York City suburb of Fort Lee, N.J., looked perfectly ordinary with its white trim, gable porch and manicured shrubbery. Neither noise nor sketchy visitors were an issue, authorities say.

The only sign that something was amiss was the rented van that would disappear into a lower-level garage each day. The driver’s job: To deliver immigrant workers from the inner city to package heroin in thousands-upon-thousands of glassine envelopes stamped with catchy logos like “LeBron James” and “Roger Dat.” The Fort Lee operation represented the new, more serene face of the ever-thriving heroin trade in the New York City area, the drug’s national epicenter, according to the Manhattanbased narcotics investigators who shut it down.

“It can still be a violent, dirty business, but it’s changed,” said Bill Cook, a veteran investigator with the Office of the Special Narcotics Prosecutor for New York City.

Absent are scenes out of films like “American Gangster,” with kingpins flaunting their wealth, settling turf wars with brazen gunplay and serving a clientele of strung-out junkies queuing up to buy low-grade product.

The new business model calls for more discretion and discipline, and better branding and quality control. The heroin is purer and the users more mainstream, including college students and professionals who snort rather than shoot up. Many have seamlessly transitioned to heroin after first getting hooked on prescription painkillers belonging to the same opiate family.

Compared to past eras marked by images junkies cooking the drug with a dirty spoon, heroin “doesn’t have the same stigma attached to it,” said John Gilbride, head of the Drug Enforcement Administration’s New York office.

Authorities say more abuse by a broader customer base has taken a devastating human toll that’s difficult to measure. Rehab centers have told them that more people are seeking treatment, and there have been recent reports of fatal heroin overdoses by teenagers on Long Island and Westchester County.

That hasn’t discouraged retailers — mainly Dominican immigrants supplied with Colombian heroin by Mexican cartels — from steadily expanding their operations throughout the city and its suburbs.

“There are more mills, and they’re better at what they do,” Cook said.

Recent raids by the special prosecutor, DEA, New York Police Department and New York State Police have resulted in multiple arrests

and larger and larger seizures. They’ve also given colorful insight into current operations.

One mill was located in a newly renovated apartment in midtown Manhattan that rented for $3,800 a month and was mere blocks from Times Square and Broadway theaters. Workers there used coffee grinders to cut the drug. They then filled glassines stamped with the brand names “Jersey Boys” — title of a hit musical — and “95 South” — a reference to the interstate served by the nearby Lincoln Tunnel.

In another mill on an 18th-floor apartment in upper Manhattan a sign read: “Clean Up After Yourselves — The Management.” The wall of yet another Bronx mill displayed its menu of brand names, including “Lady Gaga” and “Charlie Sheen.”

Farther north, a mill was discovered across the street from Manhattan College in a Bronx apartment building where students lived.

Workers there wore school sweatshirts to try to blend in.

One heroin ring used an unlikely location for transactions: a Brooklyn neighborhood populated by young families living in renovated brownstones. A dealer riding a three-wheeled motorcycle and a helmet emblazoned with the heroin brand name “Sin City” would direct customers to an exact block — code-named “the office” — then pull up alongside their cars in the middle of traffic and exchange glassines for cash.

Authorities say a dramatic spike in the amount of drugs seized during the investigations shows that suppliers are working overtime to the meet the escalating demand and maximize profits.

“They’re very savvy businessmen who have one thing in mind — making money,” said Bridget Brennan, the special prosecutor.

In the past two years, Brennan’s office has brought drug-dealing charges against at least 200 people associated with the mills. Many face deportation if convicted.

The DEA has seized about 205 pounds of heroin in New York City and the rest of the state so far this year, a pace that would eclipse the 278 pounds total last year and the 169 pounds in 2009. The seizures this year have accounted for a quarter of those for the entire nation.

The heroin flooding the region — sold in kilograms — carries an average wholesale price of about $60,000 per kilo. The retailers who package it can cut a kilo to a 50-percent purity level using powdered vitamin B or other nontoxic substances. That provides enough drugs to fill 30,000 single-dose glassine envelopes that would be sold for $5 each to street-level dealers, who in turn charge customers $10 to $15. In the end, after subtracting the cost of the kilo, wages and other expenses, the mill operator would turn a $70,000 profit per kilo.

The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — Food enthusiasts have been enrolling in culinary school in growing numbers, lured by dreams of working as gourmet chefs or opening their own restaurants.

For many graduates, however, those dreams have turned into financial nightmares, as they struggle to pay off hefty student loans and find work in a cutthroat industry known for its long hours and low pay.

Now, some former students are suing forprofit cooking schools to get their money back, saying they were misled by recruiters about the value of culinary education and their job prospects after graduation.

“They just oversold it and pushed it. They made misleading statements to lure you in,” said Emily Journey, 26, a plaintiff in a classaction lawsuit against San Francisco’s California Culinary Academy, part of Career Education Corp.’s chain of 16 Le Cordon Bleu cooking schools.

Journey, however, may get some of her money back. Under a pending $40 million settlement in state court, Career Education has agreed to offer rebates up to $20,000 to 8,500 students who attended the academy between 2003 and 2008.

In 2004, Journey was a recent high school graduate, dreaming of opening her own bakery, when she enrolled in a 7-month program in pastry and baking arts at the San Francisco school. Recruiters convinced her it was a worthwhile investment and helped her borrow $30,000 to pay for it.

After finishing the program, the only job she could find paid $8 an hour to work the night shift at an Oregon bakery — “something anyone could have gotten without a culinary certificate,” she said.

Journey, who now lives in Bakersfield, has abandoned her baker’s dream and now plans to attend community college to become a nurse or dietitian. Without the settlement money, she will be paying for that culinary certificate for another 15 years.

“Was it worth the money and the time to have this loan hanging over my head?” she asked. “Absolutely not.”

Two other Le Cordon Bleu schools — the California School of Culinary Arts in Pasadena and the Western Culinary Institute in Portland — also face lawsuits from former students who say they were duped by deceptive advertising, particularly the schools’ job placement rates.

Schaumburg, Ill.-based Career Education denies its recruiting and marketing practices are illegal, but its schools recently changed their policies to “ensure that students understand that we are not promising any specific job outcomes or salaries,” said spokesman Mark Spencer.

The publicly traded company, which operates more than 90 career colleges worldwide, agreed to settle the San Francisco lawsuits because they were too expensive to litigate and distracting to employees, Spencer said.

Enrollment at for-profit colleges and trade schools has surged over the past decade, fueled by federal student aid that makes up as much as 90 percent of revenue at many institutions.

Profit-driven career colleges are facing heavy criticism for their aggressive recruiting and marketing practices, as well as their graduates’ low rates of loan repayment.

Students who attend for-profit institutions represented 12 percent of all college students in 2009, but 43 percent of those who defaulted on federal student loans, according to a recent report by The Education Trust, an education advocacy group.

“It’s a business predicated on volume, not quality. How many students can you get to sign on the dotted line?” said Jose Cruz, the group’s vice president for higher education policy. “It’s a debt that takes over their financial life.”

Career Education has capitalized on the growing interest in culinary education, fed by popular television shows such as the Food Network’s “Iron Chef,” Fox Broadcasting’s “Hell’s Kitchen” and Bravo’s “Top Chef.”

Enrollment at the company’s 16 Le Cordon Bleu cooking schools increased from 8,400 in 2008 to 13,100 in 2010, according to Career Education officials.

Le Cordon Bleu officials defend the value of a culinary education, saying many restaurants, hotels and hospitality companies don’t have the time or money to train employees.

“Culinary arts education today gives people a much-needed foundation they need to be successful,” said Edward Leonard, vice president and corporate chef for Le Cordon Bleu Schools in North America.

School officials point to alumni such as Jill Barton, a 2005 California Culinary Academy graduate who recently opened a crepe shop in Santa Barbara, or Gonzalo del Castillo, a 2007 graduate who co-owns a San Francisco tapas bar.

OPINIONS

Letter Editor to the

Mayoral election critical to students In 1935, the late Tip O’Neill, legendary Massachusetts Congressman and Speaker of the House, famously asserted, “All politics is local.”

For Knoxvillians today, nothing could be closer to the truth. This fall, the City of Knoxville is facing one of the most important and competitive elections in recent memory. The exit of Mayor Bill Haslam to the governorship, as well as interim Mayor Daniel Brown’s decision against running for re-election, has left Knoxville with a deep hole in the mayor’s office that is waiting to be filled. Five mayoral candidates have eagerly emerged with hopes to fill this political void in the city’s highest office and create a local dynasty not unlike that of Gov. Haslam. In a non-partisan election, the differences among these five candidates could not be starker.

Madeline Rogero, the would-be first female mayor of the city, boasts decades of experience in the non-profit and public sector. Most recently she served four years as director of community development for Mayor Haslam, and she wants to turn Knoxville into the “greenest city in America.”

Mark Padgett, a 33-year-old son of local politics, is an ambitious entrepreneur who wants to become Knoxville’s next “CEO.” He never fails to assert that he is the only candidate that has actually created jobs, through his small start-up business, eGovernment Solutions.

Joe Hultquist is a long-time city councilman and resident of South Knoxville. Hultquist wants to be an active recruiter of new businesses to the city and would work for an overall “better quality of life.” He entered the mayoral race more recently, and is running with the motto, “for the love of Knoxville.”

Ivan Harmon has built a career in politics as a former Republican county commissioner and city councilman. He frequently states that he is the only Republican in the race, and is running on a platform of tax reduction and the elimination of red-light cameras.

Bo Bennett, the widely speculated “underdog” in the race, is a 911 responder with no previous exposure to local politics. He served on the board of directors for Glenn Beck’s 9/12 Project political action committee, and he is running on the slogan “integrity and community.”

However dedicated the candidates, the array of issues awaiting the next mayor could not be more challenging. She or he will enter office amidst the near-collapse of the Ten Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness and will have to decide whether to confront the problem or “kick it down the road” for years to come. They will also decide the fate of the Scenic Ridge-top Protection Plan, an initiative to regulate the extent to which developers can build on scenic hills and ridges around Knoxville. In addition, the fate of the Cumberland Avenue, Magnolia, North Knoxville and South Knoxville Waterfront development plans will be determined in part by our next mayor.

As students and voters, we have an enormous chance to actually affect the result of this election, and a once-in-a-decade opportunity to shape our city for years to come. Is a Fort Sanders without beggars and can-collectors possible? Will we finally have a greener, pedestrian friendly Cumberland Strip on which to hang out? Will we always be able to climb to the top of the Hill to view rolling hills and ridge-tops surrounding us?

This fall, it is in our hands. Historically, city election turn-out is low, and only several thousand citizens of Knoxville vote in city elections. The input of only several hundred voting students has the potential to determine the outcome of the election. I propose that we students take ownership of our city and vote on Sept. 27 to rebuild Knoxville into the clean, green and vibrant city that we all deserve.

America takes second look at Libya C ampbel l’s Co r n e r by

Seth Campbell It’s a constant struggle for many Americans in deciding whether it is just for the United States to interfere with atrocities in other countries. At times, our country seems more than willing to lend our military to situations that don’t necessarily involve us, these including Iraq and Afghanistan. Other times, our beloved country turns the other cheek, as in the case of Rwanda and the Sudan.

In the middle area, we have our current situation in Libya. We haven’t committed much, with the exception of a few drones, to the Libyan struggle because most of the assistance that the rebels have received has been from European countries and Canada. We knew Gaddafi was committing crimes, but these crimes didn’t seem to justify a U.S. intervention.

I’d like to take a minute and point out that I am by no means a peace-driven hippie. There is a time and a place where the United States should lend its powerful hand in dealing with disasters and atrocities.

Recently, many on the far right have split from the mainstream Republicans and condemned our country for “policing the world.” This phrase is an overexaggeration and doesn’t quite make sense. In my opinion, removing murderous tyrants like Saddam Hussein from power is a good thing. If you consider that “policing the world,” maybe Somalia or some country without America’s morals and strength will accept you with open arms.

Taking a step back and reviewing the Libya situation may put it in better perspective. By no means was Gaddafi’s Libya comparable to Hussein’s Iraq or the Taliban’s Afghanistan. By all accounts, Libya was one of the most progressive and developed countries in Africa and the Middle East. The literacy rate was among the best in Africa at nearly 90 percent. In comparison, neighboring African country Chad has a literacy rate just above 30 percent.

Gaddafi provided stability to what is a rather

unstable continent and region. Libya is constantly surrounded by drought, famine and genocide. Under Gaddafi’s regime, genocide wasn’t allowed to enter Libya and the country avoided the starvation that we see all around Africa. Libya does have a vast amount of money due to its oil, but a ruthless dictator would not invest this money back into the country as seen with Gaddafi.

By no means am I saying Libya is a paradise and Gaddafi a saint, but it is important to distinguish Gaddafi from the likes of Saddam Hussein and Syria’s Al-Assad. The mass murders that took place in Iraq under Hussein and the murders currently taking place in Syria aren’t comparable to Gaddafi’s Libya.

The most damning offense against Gaddafi is the role he possibly played in the Lockerbie bombing, which resulted in the death of nearly 200 Americans.

Several terrorist organizations jumped at the chance to take responsibility for this devastating act of terror, and there has been no evidence supplied by our government claiming Gaddafi was responsible. Being the most powerful government on the planet, I would think that if the evidence existed, then our government would have found it and displayed it. Instead, we are forced to take their word for it.

Over the past several years, Gaddafi has been considered a U.S. ally in terms of fighting terror. He actively fought any al-Qaeda presence in his country and even let the United Nations into Libya to begin the dismantling of the Libyan nuclear program. After a short time, Libya’s nuclear program was disassembled and shipped to Tennessee where it is stored at Oak Ridge.

Gaddafi did plenty wrong during his long tenure as leader of Libya, but the firestorm that was created by the relentless media did not allow for any consideration regarding Gaddafi. With CNN and FOX constantly examining the Libyan conflict, I feel as though everyone overlooked much of the good that was present in Libya. Simply put, many accepted every word the news spewed.

It turns out Libya may not have been the horror story that the news wants us to believe. There’s even a possibility that Gaddafi, with his designer sunglasses and fashionable wardrobe, may not have been as evil as we were told.

UT offers a wide variety of events, activities, as well as social and academic clubs around campus.

While I fully support students in finding an activity or club that suits their interests, some students join certain organizations for the wrong reasons. Students should join these interest groups for the social interaction or a certain love for the skill or hobby. I have observed that some overachieving students will join an event, activity or club around campus only as a resume builder, rather than for the overall experience. Being a member of a club or activity does have the advantage of boosting a resume and is always encouraged by our advisers and other faculty members. But sometimes students can take this advice too far and join too many clubs for one person to handle.

We’ve all seen these students around campus: the students who always appear busy, rushing from one event to another and never having time to themselves. They never have the time to sit down and enjoy a good movie or a book for a couple of hours. I find that these are the students who are constantly looking for extracurricular activities that will look impressive on a resume. Often, they volunteer to be members of importance and strive to become leaders among the group. But after spending most of their time and dedication towards their after-school programs, they are also left with the growing pile of homework teachers are expecting to be turned in on a timely manner. Thus, these overachievers find themselves spending late nights in the library trying to finish the homework and other various assignments they chose to push aside. Soon, the stress begins to rise and the unhealthy habits begin to take form.

In order to maintain a healthy and happy lifestyle, I advise all students to join only a few clubs or activities around campus. Although the thought of joining a wide variety of clubs to better a resume sounds tempting to students, try to pick only two or three that you could benefit greatly from. If chosen

wisely, students will find it easy to stay committed to all responsibilities expected of them. Also, if students choose clubs or activities they are passionate about, they often find themselves enjoying their time in the organization, rather than seeing it as another chore or job.

Students who love being a part of their club or activity will want to better the organization by becoming a leader among the group. Joining only a few clubs on campus can ensure you stay on track with grades, find friends who share the same interests, as well as add substance to a resume in the process.

If students finds a few clubs that make their time at UT a pleasurable experience, they will stay committed with the program throughout their four years on campus. In the future, interviewers will be more impressed by the dedication and reasonability taken from those few clubs rather than the many clubs the overachiever only found time for during one semester.

Maintaining a balanced lifestyle is key to living a successful and happy life. The overachievers, who do not know how to keep a balanced life, will feel as though their life is similar to the ups and downs of a roller coaster. They will find they are not in control of their own actions because they are constantly trying to please others around them, only to get ahead in life.

Students should make the most of their college experience and join a few clubs or activities around campus, but moderate them to fit into a pleasurable lifestyle. If students choose to take on more than they can maintain, they might find their school year led by unwanted stress. While everyone wants to bulk up their resumes to impress future employers, attempting to add more activities to an agenda will result in a lack of participation as well as poor time management. College life is already stressful, and students should be ensuring they stay healthy and happy throughout the course of the year by keeping those stress levels low. Find a few clubs and activities you love doing, and stick with them. More often than not, students will find that the benefits outweigh the cons. Although a roller coaster lifestyle can be a thrilling experience, it is the steady, even ride that can take one on a safe course to creating a greater possibility of successes and lead to a more harmonious way of achievement.

ARTS&CULTURE

Peppers take new path on album Patrik Svensson Staff Writer The anticipation for the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ new album, “I’m With You,” has been huge. With such a long history as one of the most influential funk bands walking this planet, the expectations have never been greater.

“Monarchy of Roses” kicks off this long-awaited record in a bombastic drum arrangement.

Here one can already sense that a major difference has been made since guitar virtuoso John Frusciante left the band two years ago and was replaced with the more technical guitar player Josh Klinghoffer. Worth mentioning is that drummer Chad Smith seems to have implemented more elements of percussion in his p a t t e r n s .

However, the difference is that the sense of their signature raw funk, which made previous landmarks “Californication” and “Blood Sugar Sex Magik” critically acclaimed, has withered away and been replaced with a more multi-layered result.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers is now studying funk as a minor instead of a major, where pop, rock and a slight taste of disco play bigger parts.

When John Frusciante left the band, I began to wonder, “Who on earth will continue composing soulful guitar melodies that bonded John and bassist Flea so well?” “Brendan’s Death Song ” is the right answer to this endless pondering that many have suffered the past two years. The acoustic track delivers such a touching message accompanied by majestic drumbeats giving a warm breeze inside. This is Anthony Kiedis and his fellow Peppers at their very best. This

step into a new direction has also emphasized a few interesting instruments. The piano has never been used this much on any Red Hot Chili Peppers record before, even though John Frusciante picked it up a number of times during the “By the Way” era. “Even You Brutus?” on this record is a great example of their capabilities in implementing new instruments.

A potential live favorite, maybe?

Any product that leaves the factory comes with some kind of flaw. The content of “I’m With You” is definitely not an exception.

The second track “Factory of Faith” is, unfortunately, one of the most artificial and plastic songs produced by this fellowship of funk. Even though the rhythm doesn’t disappoint, the lyrics are off the map. And with a singer and songwriter in the front such as Anthony Kiedis, depth and meaning should be served on a daily basis.

“I’m With You” is definitely a record • Photo courtesy of Red Hot Chili Peppers that grows every time one listens to it. Although feeding half a mouthful of funk to its audience, it is definitely not an album that brings justice to the most die-hard fans of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. As the band has mentioned during the making of this album, it is a new band that has been formed after John Frusciante’s departure. Not necessarily a sign of leaving its roots, but opening up for new areas to explore. The Red Hot Chili Peppers, once again, extends its base of fans by implementing new elements of other genres. It is the beginning of something experimental and interesting.

Best song: “Brendan’s Death Song ”

Metal band falls short of opening acts Patrik Svensson Staff Writer “This is probably the best show we have performed during this tour.”

James Hart, lead singer of the California-based hard rock band Burn Halo, is convinced that the Southern hospitality is also shown in venues all over the state. Together with Echoes The Fall, Kyng and the main act of the evening, Drowning Pool, an energetic show in the name of hard rock and metal was delivered, leaving nobody walking out of The Valarium without a blister or two.

Echoes The Fall, with its overwhelmingly charismatic lead singer, Jeremy Moorehead, opened up this evening in a high tempo, showing the crowd that this would be a night to be remembered by Knoxville metal heads. The band mixed its setlist with a great blend from 2009’s fulllength album “Bloodline,” on which “Break Away” clearly stands out, together with the powerful ballad, “Start over Again,” and a devastating “Burn It Down,” released on this year’s self-titled EP, where the latter creates a romance between the crowd and the band like nothing ever witnessed before.

The night’s most technical act, Kyng, from Los Angeles, Calif., increased the weight of this four-band heavy freightliner by a ton or two.

The trio, with ferocious drummer Pepe Clarke in the front, plows every obstacle out of its path as tracks such as “Falling Down” and “Trails in Veins” leaves the barrel out in the moshing crowd. Influences from wellestablished bands as stoner-rock legends Kyuss and New York trashers Anthrax are clearly present. The chemistry in Kyng between bassist Tony Castaneda and lead singer Eddie Veliz leaves nobody untouched.

Burn Halo describes its time on the road as energetic as on the stage — “We try to squeeze in a workout on our daily schedule, such as gym and cardio.” The result is as evident as a clear blue sky: Burn Halo is by far one of the most active bands on stage. With years of experience in the metal scene, James Hart masters the technique of how to push the buttons of the audience. This touring has served to promote the band’s recent album, “Up from the Ashes,” which got a lot of space to spread its wings during this show. The popular intro

track “Tear It Down” received a fantastic response from the audience.

Compared to previous acts, Burn Halo delivered a somewhat more colorful performance considering the way of expressing its music through body language. Regarding the music, however, it is clear that the influences are more than a handful.

“Our guitar player has Synyster Gates from Avenged Sevenfold as a great influence,” Hart said.

“Elements of Guns N Roses are present as well.”

One can somewhat sense a vibe of John Bush, singer in Anthrax and Armored Saint, in the deep mist of their hard rock signed Oklahoma and California.

“Bodies, Bodies, Bodies” The crowd had gone nuts before the first track had hit the floor and started begging for the grand finale.

Drowning Pool is definitely one of the most prominent bands in the metal scene, delivering the critically acclaimed, smash-hit record “Sinner” in 2001, on which the endlessly popular track “Bodies” can be found.

Drowning Pool began the show, as many times before, with “Let the Sin Begin,” which gives the impression of a sloppy attempt to deliver a blend of Kid Rock and Disturbed with it’s easy-to-digest lyrics and riffs.

However, Ryan McCombs and his fellow musicians pick up the pace in the following track “Step Up” and run over the whole venue without mercy by showing a very impressive projection of energy in their movement across the stage. The set list had a good mixture of tracks from the albums “Sinner,” “Full Circle” and the recent self-titled piece from 2010, on which songs such as “Enemy” and “37 Stitches” shine brighter than the rest of their repertoire. Even though the band has a strong connection with its loyal fans, it leaves more to the wish list regarding chemistry and unity in the band compared to the opening acts, where Burn Halo reaches much higher.

THESPORTSPAGE

After delay, Bray leads Vols past Grizzlies Clay Seal Assistant Sports Editor The Tennessee passing game has worked to be a bright spot for the Volunteers this season.

If Saturday was any indication, they’ll be just fine in that department.

Tyler Bray threw for 293 yards and three touchdowns on 17-of-24 passing in a 42-16 win over Montana at Neyland Stadium to open the season.

“Tyler did a good job,” Dooley said. “He was poised out there. There’s still some plays he could have done better, but for the most part, he managed the game very well.”

Bray’s first two passes were touchdowns of 47 and 81 yards to Da’Rick Rogers and Justin Hunter, respectively. Hunter and Rogers each set career-highs in single-game receiving yards.

Hunter had 146 yards, while Rogers added 100.

It was the first time UT has had two wideouts reach 100 yards in the same game since 2007.

“We just picked up in the passing game where we left off (last season),” Bray said. “We saw holes (in Montana’s defense) when we were watching film. We were working all week in practice to try to get the kind of route combinations that would work against their defense.”

Bray tied Peyton Manning for a UT record of seven consecutive games with two or more touchdown passes.

Hunter set a career-high for reception yards in a game — in the first quarter. He had three receptions for 118 yards and a touchdown. “(Hunter and Rogers) have been doing it all camp,” Dooley said. “They both have big-play ability and we’re going to need them to have a lot of big plays this year for us to win some games.”

Bray threw two interceptions, including one in the end zone, but both were nullified on pass

interference calls. It was his first game without a pick since Ole Miss on Nov. 13.

The game started after a one-hour, 40-minute weather delay. The Vols did not run through the “T” for just the second time since 1965.

The Vols jumped out to a 28-0 lead before Montana scored on an 80-yard pass from quarterback Jordan Johnson to receiver Jabin Sambrano with 3:49 left in the first half on the first play of the drive to make it 28-7.

Tauren Poole and the running game continued with their inconsistencies.

Poole finished with 98 yards on 24 carries.

Freshman Marlin Lane added 37 yards on 10 rushes. The team finished with 129 total rushing yards.

“Montana played hard the entire game. They never let up,” said Poole, who rushed for 1,034 yards last season. “We’ve got to be better. Not every game’s going to be perfect.”

Tennessee had only 67 yards on 27 carries in the first half.

“We were hoping we could run it a little better, but Montana did a good job,” Dooley said.

“They have all seniors and juniors on defense, and you could tell.”

A young Tennessee defense allowed 346 yards, but only 160 of those by halftime against the fastpaced Montana offense.

“There were a lot of mistakes, but we settled in pretty good,” Dooley said. “There were times that it got a little edgy on that no-huddle where we were a little late lining up, but I thought we managed it better than we did last year.”

Tennessee had five fumbles alone in the first half, but they recovered them all. Four were on offense, and another was in a familiar place — George Richardson • The Daily Beacon special teams. Lane mishandled a punt and Justin Hunter yells out in celebration after a reception during a game against trapped the Vols on their 4-yard line.

David Cobb

Matt Dixon Sports Editor Derek Dooley was worried how Tennessee’s younger players would respond to the excitement that surrounded the Volunteers’ first game.

That excitement was put on hold for nearly two hours due to a weather delay, but UT’s second-year coach was pleased by how the team responded.

“I thought our team did a great job in the locker room, especially given the anxiety of a first game,” Dooley said.

“There was so much anticipation of that moment, and then all of the sudden it’s like we can’t go. I was worried a little bit with all this anxiety and anticipation, but we did a good job.”

Twelve true freshmen participated in the game, a number that surprised Dooley on Monday.

“Our youth showed up a lot, because in games, it’s never going to be how you plan it,” Dooley said. “(Opponents are) always going to come out and throw different things at you, and you have to have the ability to go to the sideline and make adjustments. We really struggled at that, especially some of the new guys.”

But despite the freshman growing pains, Dooley was quick to praise the newcomers on Monday.

“I think what was pleasing about that class is you didn’t see them be so wideeyed that they didn’t perform,” Dooley said. “They had a nice calm about them.

That was good.”

“Art”ful touchdown Senior cornerback Art Evans recorded his first career interception in the season-opener, and did so in style. He returned it 37 yards for a touchdown to give the Vols a 35-9 lead in the third quarter.

“When Art

made that play, I think I ran the fastest I could to try to beat him to the endzone,” junior safety Prentiss Waggner said. “It was big for me to see him make that play. Art’s been through a lot. He’s like a big brother to me on the team. That was a big plus for me and the team.”

Injury Report Sophomore defensive tackle Maurice Couch suffered a slight knee sprain against Montana. Dooley said he is day-to-day.

Freshman tailback/returner Devrin Young will be re-evaluated next week to see if he can begin contact drills. Young broke his right collarbone in August and missed all of fall camp.

Junior linebacker Herman Lathers had the two large screws removed from his left ankle, which he broke during the summer. Dooley said Lathers is still four to six weeks away from being able to play.
