Hip-hop artist discusses music, Christianity Joseph Simmons, also known as Rev. Run, explains balance between religion, hip-hop Victoria Wright Staff Writer Iconic rapper, trendsetter and motivator Rev. Run explained how the arguably controversial themes in hip-hop music, which at times contradict conservative Christian beliefs, surprisingly balance his life.

Presented by the Black Cultural Programming Committee, Rev. Run spoke to an audience of about 200 students and Knoxville residents Thursday night in the James R. Cox Auditorium in the Alumni Memorial Building.

Julian Wright, junior in journalism and electronic media, and Ashley Holder, senior in journalism and electronic media, hosted the show. The stage resembled a talk-show set and Rev. Run reclined on a red couch as the two hosts sat adjacent to him and asked questions.

Rev. Run, formally Joseph Simmons, explained how despite his success in the legendary early ’80s rap group Run-DMC, he sought a higher calling beyond the music.

“After Run-DMC ran and sold all these records, I began to feel a little empty on the inside,” Simmons said during the event. “I started going to church and different things and I tried to find what my next situation in life was.”

After much soul-searching, Simmons became the familiar Reverend Run many recognize today.

Wright then asked Simmons to share his view on the media’s recent spotlight of hip-hop’s destructive capabilities on youth.

“I believe that it’s very constructive,” Simmons said. “Hip-hop is what elected President Obama. I believe hip-hop brings people together. I know you see some negative energies and attitudes, but overall it’s been very good for the world and the rappers.”

Simmons, who received his start from the hiphop industry, explained that the hip-hop culture birthed other successful areas in his life, such as his

popular MTV reality show “Run’s House.”

Among the other positives Simmons attributed to hip-hop culture, he also explained how his religious identity as a reverend and his musical personality “Rev.” are separate but blended entities.

“If you come on my Twitter site and you see me talking about God, it’s to be expected,” Simmons said. “If the next day you come on and I’m (writing) kicking a rhyme, it’s to be expected. God made me a rapper and God made me a reverend. It all works together.”

Simmons also shared motivational words with the audience by encouraging young people to find their passion and harness their unique talents for success. He also shared his happiness on his son’s, Diggy Simmons, recent success as a hip-hop artist.

Though Diggy Simmons continues to tour and his fame rises, Simmons explained that house rules still apply when chores are involved.

“Diggy will do as I say while he’s under my roof,” Simmons said. The audience clamored with laughter and applause.

Team members from the Lady Vols gave Simmons orange and white tennis shoes, a basketball and a tracksuit appropriate for any UT game day.

Members of the BCPC also presented Simmons a life-size, custom cake shaped as a spin disc and headphones.

Audience member and National Black Anthem singer for the event, Shana Ward, enjoyed Simmons’ visit.

“My favorite part was when he was talking about how hip-hop made him because nowadays, people view hip-hop as such a negative thing because of the way media portrays it,” said Ward, sophomore in music education and vocal performance.

An avid tweeter known for sending his messages from a cozy bubble bath during episodes of “Run’s House,” Simmons captured a Twitter picture of the enthusiastic audience to share on his timeline before the presentation ended.

1519 — Magellan sets out Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan sets 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 October 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 Cebú--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 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 Basque navigator 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 September 6, 1522, becoming the first ship to circumnavigate the globe.

2002 — Avalanche thunders into Russian village A glacial avalanche in Russia buries a village on this day in

2002, killing more than 100 people.

The North Ossetia area of Russia was hard hit by floods in June 2002. These floods, along with an early and hot summer, proved to be a precursor to a much larger disaster in September. Large glaciers sit above the town of Vladikavkaz.

With higher than normal temperatures in 2002, increased water runoff showed that these glaciers were beginning to melt and weaken.

On the afternoon of September 20, a 400-foot-tall chunk of ice broke from a large glacier and plunged down the side of the mountain. The resulting avalanche picked up speed, hitting close to 100 miles per hour at its fastest and traveling an astonishing 20 miles, destroying everything in its path. The village of Karmadon was completely buried by tons of stone and ice.

Rescue efforts began immediately and continued for weeks.

Twenty-seven people were pulled out alive. Finding victims' remains proved to be much more difficult work.

Even weeks after the avalanche, less than half the150 people who had been reported missing had been found.

In total, the avalanche caused $20 million in damages.

Had it traveled just a few miles further and hit Vladikavkaz, the death and damage toll would have been far worse.

Tennessee woman faces murder trial Beat goes on in Nashville schools The Associated Press GALLATIN, Tenn. — A young woman who told police she hid her pregnancy and then suffocated her newborn twins to keep her parents from hearing their cries hung her head and listened in court on Monday as friends and family testified that she was sweet, humble, loved and respected by everyone.

The comments came during a bond hearing for 25-year-old Lindsey Lowe, who was arrested last week and charged with two counts of firstdegree murder after her father found the body of one of baby boys in his daughter’s laundry basket. Police later found the second body.

Mark Lowe defended his daughter in court, saying, “Lindsey is a model daughter and we love her very much. She’s as good as it gets.”

After hearing from all witnesses, Judge James Hunter in Gallatin set Lowe’s bond at $250,000, though her lawyer had sought a lower amount.

“That may be low considering the nature of the offense,” Hunter said, “but I don’t consider her a danger to the community.”

Lowe said his daughter had lived at their home in Hendersonville, just north of Nashville, since graduating from Western Kentucky University and had only gotten her first fulltime job about two months ago, working in billing at a dental office. She spent much of her time taking care of her mother, who had a brain tumor several years ago that had reoccurred in April.

“She had a seizure and could not drive, and Lindsey was her caretaker and driver,” Mark Lowe said.

Questioned by prosecutors, Lowe said he felt his daughter was honest and forthright with him and his wife, although he admitted that they had no idea she was pregnant.

Lindsey Lowe hung her head through much of the testimony, hiding her face with her hair, but at times she looked up at the witnesses and smiled, appearing to mouth the words “thank you” to one of them.

No one offered any explanation for why

Lowe might have been so desperate to hide her pregnancy that she suffocated the twins as soon as they were born. She told Hendersonville Police Det. Steve Malach that she delivered the babies at home on the toilet and killed them so that her parents would not hear their cries, according to his affidavit filed with the court.

On Monday, Malach testified that in a thorough search of the home, police found no evidence that Lowe had made any plans for the birth.

Police have said they are working to determine the father’s identity.

Lowe’s attorney, John Pellegrin, said his client was engaged to be married, but he was waiting on the autopsy report to say anything definitive about the identity of the children’s father.

Several of the character witnesses described Lowe with words such as “meek” and “humble.”

Debbie Naylor, who sang with both Lowe and her mother at City Road Chapel United Methodist Church, called the woman “a loyal and obedient daughter.”

Jama Gaines, who has known Lowe for years through the youth music ministry at their church, said, “Some teens try to push the boundaries. I never had to worry about that with Lindsey. She was always very compliant, always very helpful.”

Both Lowe and some of the witnesses teared up during parts of the testimony, and at one point a court guard handed Lowe a tissue to wipe her eyes.

Pellegrin said Lowe was medicated during the hearing and was in jail because officials there are worried she could harm herself. The judge also said he was more worried Lowe could be a danger to herself than to others. She will be required to report to a probation officer.

In court, Lowe told the judge she had never had any mental health issues or taken any medications prior to arriving at the jail. Pellegrin said the first thing they hope to do if Lowe is released on bond is to get her psychiatric help.

He said it was too soon to say whether he might consider a defense of temporary insanity.

Toxic fume leak kills five at festival The Associated Press CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. — Fumes from a generator leaked into a camper, killing three men and two women who were at a biker festival to raise money for needy children, an organizer for the event said.

Police were investigating the deaths but said no foul play was suspected. Two of the men worked security into the early morning hours Sunday during the festival’s party, which featured motorcycle drag races, live music and bikini and tattoo contests. The charity’s website said there was free beer.

Bill Langford, the director of the event Bikers Who Care, was puzzled over the deaths at the Clarksville Speedway.

“Most of them didn’t get to bed until four o’clock in the morning, and most of those people didn’t go in that trailer at the same time to go to bed,” he said. “I just find that kind that of strange. Why didn’t they notice?”

It appears a small storage hatch on the RV did not close properly, allowing fumes from the generator to leak inside the vehicle, Langford said.

The gases were so bad in the camper that the bikers who found the bodies were taken to a hospital after feeling dizzy and light-headed, Langford said. They all had high amounts of carbon monoxide in their systems, he said.

Langford said the bikers’ group was like a family and he was close friends with the people who had died. He identified them as a married couple, another couple and one of the men’s co-workers.

The married couple had 8-

month-old twins. The man was a truck driver and his wife was a school teacher.

All of the victims were from the Clarksville area about 40 miles northwest of Nashville.

“Me and these guys had a meeting every Thursday of the year,” Langford said. “These three guys are three of my closest friends.”

By Sunday evening, the crowd of a couple thousand people had thinned and only a handful of people remained, sitting around campfires. Nearby, portable toilets were still out and a party tent was still up with a large American flag on top of it.

Photos from the festival showed yellow police tape around the camper and tents that had been set up close by.

The camper was later towed away.

Police would not say if carbon monoxide poisoning played a role and said the cause of the deaths would have to be determined by a coroner. The identities of the dead were also being withheld until family members could be told.

Langford said the bikers collect toys for needy children and raised funds for Camp Rainbow, a summer camp for seriously ill children at Land Between the Lakes recreation area on the KentuckyTennessee border. They also contribute to the Buddy Ball sports league for children with mental and physical disabilities.

The cornerstone of the event was a toy run, where the bikers lined up at the speedway and rode through town. Organizers said they gathered four truckloads of toys.

The Associated Press NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Nashville city and business leaders want to keep the music playing in public schools in Music City USA through a new curriculum that will incorporate new musical genres and production technology into the classroom.

Mayor Karl Dean and Jesse Register, director of Metro Nashville Public Schools, announced the “Music Makes Us” program on Friday on the stage of the historic Ryman Auditorium. The program will be funded in the first year by charitable donations coming from well-known arts philanthropist Martha Ingram, Mike Curb of Curb Records and the Gibson Foundation, the charitable arm of Gibson Guitar Corp.

“Hopefully it will give us one of the best, if not the best, music programs in the country,” Dean said. “The idea is we want to take advantage of all the natural assets we have here.”

While keeping traditional orchestras, marching bands and choir, students could soon be learning about songwriting and composition, performing in rock and rap bands, and experimenting with recording and remixing. Students from prekindergarten through high school will be exposed to more genres, such as jazz, pop, folk, bluegrass and world music, and local music venues in Nashville will give students a chance to perform publicly.

A new music director for the school system will be hired in the first year with new classes starting in 2012. Dean said they raised more than $500,000 in private donations that will go to fund the first year of the program. Dean said for the program to be successful the city will have to put in public funds, too, but he said he didn’t know yet how much.

The schools in Nashville already benefit from millions raised by the Country Music Association for new instruments. Guitar

players from the Nashville School of the Arts and a choir from Pearl-Cohn High School, an entertainment magnet school, also performed during the news conference.

Colin Reed, Chairman and CEO of Gaylord Entertainment, which owns the Ryman, said developing musical skills and appreciation in young people in the community will benefit the industry as well.

“We are going to produce a lot more good musicians in this town because of this particular program,” Reed said. “We like that idea as a company because it means there is going to be a continual reservoir of folks coming into the music business.”

Register said they will provide new training for the system’s current music instructors, who were involved in the planning process of the program. As many school systems struggle to penny-pinch in a down economy while also meeting higher academic standards in areas like math, science and reading, Register said research shows music education enhances learning.

“We can’t just focus on achievement tests and standardized tests,” he said.

“This is a way for young people to get connected to education, to see the relevance in education particularly in our community, where we are a national leader in the music industry.”

Fresh-faced country artist Hunter Hayes, who has been on tour with Taylor Swift, said he grew up in Louisiana with a variety of instruments in his hands, but never had proper musical classes. He came to Nashville to chase his dream and said he hopes young students will be drawn to explore their creative skills through the program.

“I am excited that people like me will be able to find it through the public school system in Nashville, in Music City,” he said.

OPINIONS

LetterEditor to the

9/11 not isolated incident, enemy real Politicians, columnists in many magazines and newspapers and students who write for The Daily Beacon all seem to be under the impression that Sept. 11 was the only attack carried out by al-Qaeda that Sept. 11, and we can’t fight them.

Here’s what we know: In 1993 the World Trade Center was attacked for the first time, killing six and injuring many others. The attack was financed by Khaleid Sheik Mohammed — mastermind of the 9/11 attacks; the intention of the attack was to cause one tower to collapse into another and kill thousands. In 1998 Osama bin Laden, through al-Qaeda, planned and executed an attack on the U.S. Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, killing over 200 people. In 2000, al-Qaeda, again at the behest of Osama bin Laden, orchestrated and carried out an attack on the USS Cole while she was docked in Yemen — killing 17 sailors. And these are just attacks, orchestrated by al-Qaeda, that occurred before 9/11 against the U.S.; it doesn’t take into account the numerous attacks carried out against other nations — before and after 9/11, against civilians — many at school — in Iraq and Afghanistan, attacks carried out like the Madrid Train (alQaeda responsible, 191 killed), London Bus (52 killed) — in other nations, the many airplane hijackings of the ’70s and ’80s or even 9/11.

Who did they kill in these attacks? Did they kill Marines? A few. Did they kill sailors? About a dozen and a half. If you have done the math for the attacks involved, you will count over 3,000 students, secretaries, fireman, paramedics, executives, women, men, elderly, youth and otherwise innocent people dead in a clear, present and repetitive pattern. Whether or not we want to fight this war is irrelevant; we are fighting it.

Why would they do this to us? One reason given by both the terrorists and their apologists is our bases in Saudi Arabia. The apologists argue that if we just leave Saudi Arabia, the terrorists will stop. Did Hitler stop at rebuilding the German Army? No, he didn’t. The terrorists are the same way; they will not stop after we withdraw our troops from Saudi Arabia. Another reason for these attacks, from both terrorists and their critics, is the support for the state of Israel.

What is the official stance of the U.S. government on Israel? They have a right to exist, and the

land they received as a term of peace for the wars initiated by their neighbors — who lost — in the ’60s and ’70s belongs to them rightfully.

Are we fighting an idea? No, we are fighting a covert organization that uses a tactic because of an idea. In short, we are fighting people.

People can be found and captured or killed. Ideas and tactics cannot. However, there seems to be an idea that we don’t know who these people are. I say, “Balderdash!” I know, from experience in this war, that our troops and covert agents know who they are seeking. For instance, we were looking for Osama bin Laden, Khaleid Sheik Mohammed and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

We found them — and bin Laden and al-Zarqawi are both dead at our hands.

The idea that we can’t find these people, or know who they are, is ridiculous. Further, it discounts the enormous successes we enjoyed in the prosecution of the War on Terror. For instance, many attacks have been foiled because of intelligence gathered from captured terrorists.

What’s more, we have managed to bleed at least al-Qaeda dry of funds — which is why you don’t see battles like Operation Phantom Fury going on in Afghanistan or Iraq, anymore. It is also why there have been very few terrorist attacks outside the Middle East in recent years.

We are winning the War on Terror, whether you believe it or not. There is a real chance to destroy al-Qaeda once and for all in the near future if we are brave enough to take it. All it is going to take is a little bit of perseverance and manpower. This is not just a war we can win, however, it is a war we can’t afford to lose. What the terrorists will exchange for peace is unacceptable. Besides, we have done nothing to deserve this treatment in the first place.

Alas, I fear that our resolve in this endeavor is wavering, and that cannot happen. So instead of rolling your eyes and changing the channel when a 9/11 documentary comes on — which you wouldn’t be able to do if those documentaries were “everywhere,” as one Beacon columnist put it — watch it and remember the day you watched 3,000 people die on live international television.

Tupac’s legacy leaves lasting impact C ampbel l’s Co r n e r by

Seth Campbell I’d like to think that everybody enjoys some type of music. We all have friends who blast country music all the time and we all know people who listen to rock all the time. Whether it is the music I prefer or not, I still have a certain respect for the genre. In some cases, I believe an artist can define the genre of music. The best example is the case of Tupac Shakur.

Hip-hop isn’t really my number one choice when it comes to music. While I once was enthralled with Wu-Tang and Tupac, the likes of Gucci Mane, Rick Ross and Soulja Boy have driven me away from any interest I once had. Although hip-hop isn’t what it once was, I can still enjoy certain artists and Tupac falls under this category.

A lot of people have the tendency to group all rappers into one large generalization of gangsters and thugs. Herding Tupac into a group with many of the modern rappers is doing an injustice to not only Tupac, but also the message he brought during his time in the spotlight. He may have presented a rough appearance, but his message was far more important.

This man wasn’t just another rapper who would rhyme any two words together. Tupac brought attention to injustices all around this country, whether they were due to the color of one’s skin or economic status. While Tupac supported the uplifting of African-Americans, he openly questioned if it was ever possible due to the destructive tendencies he witnessed from his time in these communities. He understood that little progress would ever be made as long as the drug

epidemic continued. Along with the widespread drug use in these communities also came a high crime rate. Many artists simply left these tough issues alone, but Tupac gravitated toward the controversy.

Being raised by a single mother, he didn’t understand why women were forced to endure raising a child with no help from the father. No matter how tough his persona became, Tupac always made sure that everyone understood the perils of raising a child alone. In numerous songs he made sure to mention his mother and the numerous obstacles they endured through his childhood.

In the world of music, it is incredibly rare when an artist is able to sell millions of albums and tackle countrywide issues. We have very few artists who care more about their community and brethren than a paycheck. Right now, the vast majority of hip-hop artists care much more about their diamond chains and cars than anything else. For this reason, Tupac continues to sell albums and have his voice heard.

Fifteen years ago, Tupac became a victim of the gun violence against which he often rallied.

While far from a perfect being, his impact on hiphop and music is incalculable. He took issues that are often pushed to the back of society and brought them straight to the front so all his listeners could understand. Tupac’s impact on society is equally important to his contributions to music.

Even after his death, Tupac still has an immense impact. He has had six albums posthumously garner the prestigious platinum rating and multiple books come out regarding his poetry and life.

If there were more artists like Tupac, not only would hip-hop improve, but maybe the world would also get a little bit better.

What happened to the days when you had to call someone on a house phone to contact a person? It seems hard for most people to imagine a life in which one could never get in contact with anyone at any moment throughout the day. In today’s time, we are constantly using our iPhones, Twitter and Facebook to connect with others. Everywhere you look, someone is on their laptop or texting a friend on their phone.

College students are especially susceptible to the pleasures that technology provides us. Our professors expect our work to be online by submitting papers via e-mail or Blackboard, using Twitter to explain lectures and watching movies through Netflix.

Technology has made its way into our everyday lives, and as much as some might fight this transformation, there is not much we can change since it is becoming necessary to function in today’s society. Although technology has influenced our lives greatly, we should learn how to find a healthy balance between what should be acceptable and what is excessive. We have the power to control when to turn the power button from on to off. Using technology in moderation will help students focus on their schoolwork and learn to manage technology without it overwhelming them in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

There have been various tests and studies throughout the nation about the effects of teenagers and cell phones. Many scientists feel that young adults, who are constantly using technology, have a difficult time focusing as well as falling asleep at night. The negative effects of cell phones, laptops and television are becoming a new worry of our generation.

Adapting to controlling the use of technology in our lives will allow people to benefit from the communication and information gained instead of becoming addicted to instant gratification of an infinite world of information.

If you find yourself experiencing insomnia, I advise students to turn off their technology 30

minutes before bed and try to resist sleeping with a cell phone. Many students use the excuse that their cell phones are their alarm clocks in the morning. Go out and buy a cheap alarm clock instead of using your phone as an alarm. Although this task will be difficult, sleeping patterns will drastically change. Because you received a good night of rest, your body will be capable of functioning better throughout the day, thus receiving better grades on homework assignments and tests.

The abundance of technology and networking available and accessible is causing the temptation for students to lose touch with reality and forget about their other responsibilities. Facebook is a prime example of how time can easily fly when online. Students find that they use Facebook as a way to stall in doing their homework or studying for an important test. Honestly, when I experienced writer’s block for this article, I found myself looking up YouTube videos rather than getting my work done. Find ways to be productive by getting outside and exercising for a couple hours each day. Surprisingly, exercising can help students collect their thoughts and focus on important tasks for the day. Sometimes it can bring a fresh idea or perspective.

Many of our social interactions now take place over the multiple technological sources offered.

Sometimes, I wonder if our generation has become so absorbed in technology that we actually prefer this contact instead of face-to-face interaction. Because of texting and cell phones, we have lost our mystery to others. Technology has made everyone accessible in some form.

Sometimes it appears that technology has taken control over the user, rather than the user maintaining the power. Since we are always plugged in, we feel like we cannot take a break from the constant need of entertainment and socialization. Although technology has made its way into our everyday lives, it does not mean we have to lose control of ourselves. Cutting a portion of your time with technology can help a student sleep better and stay focused, resulting in a happier lifestyle and better grades. We cannot change how technology has become an important part of our lives because it is an effect of the time we live in, but we can control how to manage it effectively and productively to benefit and enhance the connections and information we receive from its usage.

Anthrax sets bar high on new album Patrik Svensson Staff Writer No compromise. I wouldn’t consider defining the history of Anthrax from New York in any other way. Beside the continuously changing giants in Metallica, Joey Belladonna and his fellow “thrashers” seem to have got caught in yet another mosh, and it’s about time too. Almost 22 years have passed since Belladonna grabbed his short Bay-area microphone and wore the cap with a typically flippedup visor. He is back, Anthrax is back, and they sure raise the bar higher than the Cuban high jumper Javier Sotomayor could ever jump.

What a fresh breeze …

It pulls one out of this year’s squeaky, poor attempts to create decent metal albums. In Flames and Trivium failed to deliver once again, and Limp Bizkit extended its discography by releasing a record packed with premature lyrics that could have been a recording from a frat party.

Anthrax, on the other hand, squishes this bubble into nothingness as “Earth on Hell,” with its ferocious blast beats, tears itself out of the speakers. It is more rhythmic and dynamic than ever before, even though one might start to hum on the lyrics to “Caught in a Mosh” in “The Devil You Know.”

Chorus has never been Anthrax’s strongest suit.

The verses have always been the main focus, soaked with rough attitude toward our contem-

porary society. With this in mind, the tables have turned. “Fight ’Em Til You Can’t” is a prime example, where the instruments blend on a whole new level. The high octave guitars in the background bring an almost synthesizer-like edge. “The Giant” serves as the crescendo of this album, no questions asked. The lengthy chorus struggles its way through 30 seconds, building up an atmosphere that would be the most suitable soundtrack when reaching the top of Mount Everest.

When a band releases a record in which the content is so much more than just 10 tracks of intense shredding and bass drum trampling, it gets obvious that it has been a greater meaning of the work behind it. By adding two instrumental hymns less than one minute each that function as passages between the main tracks, it gives the listener a notion of something extraordinary around the corner. The transition between “Hymn 1” and “In the End” is a great example.

How could anything go haywire with an almost apocalyptic cello-composed passage before the bells of “In the End” start thundering?

Anthrax has kept the best of its old structure of New York thrash, but has moved into a more modern finish in which chewing guitars play a bigger role than heavily arranged drums from, in many listeners’ eyes, the best thrash drum-

ARTS&CULTURE mer sitting behind the snare: Charlie Benante.

The two-two time blasting is almost erased, with an exception of “Earth on Hell” and the new live number “Fight ’Em Til You Can’t,” and replaced with a groovier approach, giving an extended amount of space to the ravaging guitarists Scott Ian and Rob Caggiano.

It is a pleasure having Joey Belladonna back in business. He gives an extra incentive to the band to give it all.

Anthrax has risen from the ashes of problematic sessions, finding a replacement after John Bush’s departure by taking Belladonna under its wings. They are once again “The Man,” “The Law” and will continue to “Bring the Noise.”

Best song: “The Giant”

Fight flick combines action, drama beyond boxing.

The film’s fight scenes should satisfy any viewer.

Brendan and Tommy enter the ring with very different fighting styles, giving a “best of both worlds” approach. Brendan is an endurance fighter, waiting for the opportune moment to make his opponent tap out. Meanwhile Tommy’s fights usually last about 15 seconds before he pulverizes whoever is standing in his way.

Despite a somewhat fresh take on its action, “Warrior” does have a few clichés here and there.

The father/son dynamic has been done many times before, but to the film’s credit, at least it is the father wanting to make his son proud rather than the other way around. Aside from a few themes that have been explored before, the film doesn’t feel like too much of a copycat.

The double-edged sword of the film is its three leads. Each actor does a fantastic job with his character, especially Nolte. His performance is one of the best supporting jobs of the year.

On the other side of this, however, is that the audience has three characters at the front of its mind. Time can’t be spent on each character as much as one would like. Of course, the fact that the film has three interesting characters that the audience wants to see more of makes “Warrior” better than 90 percent of the other offerings this year.

After a dismal summer at the movies, “Warrior” kicks off the fall season with an impressive film.

Come for the fighting, stay for the dramatic tension.

Will Abrams Copy Editor Family dynamics can play a significant role in any dramatic film. In “Warrior,” these tensions transform what would have been an average fight flick into one of this year’s best films.

Nick Nolte plays a father whose alcoholism drove his family apart. Years later, he thinks he has found a second chance when his younger son, Tommy (Tom Hardy), shows up on his doorstep.

Tommy is a soldier who has come home with the intention of making money fighting so that he can look after the widow of his best friend who died in the service. His brother, Nolte’s other son, is Brendan (Joel Edgerton). He is also a fighter, but has become more of a civilian with his high school teaching job and wife and kids.

What brings these characters together after years of separation are fighting and the need for money.

Luckily, some MMA promoters are looking to put together an extravaganza of a fighting tournament (think March Madness mixed with “Bloodsport”) where the cash prize is seven figures.

It’s a little difficult to make an original movie about a fighter these days. A film has to overcome comparisons with everything from “The Fighter” to “Rocky” and, at the same time, be a great product.

One thing that helps out “Warrior” is that the sport at hand is not boxing, but mixed martial arts.

Boxing has been a little overplayed throughout the years, while MMA still has some freshness to it.

After all, MMA is kind of the next evolutionary step

Japanese call to end atomic energy fish and water.

Police estimated the crowd at 20,000 people, while organizers said there were three times that many people.

In addition to fears of radiation, the Japanese public and corporate world have had to put up with electricity shortages amid the sweltering summer heat after more than 30 of Japan’s 54 nuclear reactors were idled over the summer to undergo inspections.

Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda, who took office earlier this month, has said Japan will restart reactors that clear safety checks. But he has also said the country should reduce its reliance on atomic energy over the long-term and explore alternative sources of energy. He has not spelled out any specific goals.

The Associated Press TOKYO — Chanting “Sayonara nuclear power” while waving banners, tens of thousands of people marched in central Tokyo on Monday to call on Japan’s government to abandon atomic energy in the wake of the Fukushima nuclear accident.

The demonstration underscores how deeply a Japanese public long accustomed to nuclear power has been affected by the March 11 crisis, when a tsunami caused core meltdowns at three reactors at the Fukushima Dai-ichi complex.

The disaster — the worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl — saw radiation spewed across a wide part of northeastern Japan, forcing the evacuation of some 100,000 people who lived near the plant and raising fears of contamination in everything from fruit and vegetables to

is also a resource-poor nation, making it a difficult, time-consuming process for it to come up with viable alternative forms of energy.

Before the march, the protesters gathered in Meiji Park to hear speakers address the crowd, including one woman from Fukushima prefecture, Reiko Muto, who described herself as a “hibakusha,” an emotionally laden term for survivors of the atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Those evacuated from around the plant remain uncertain about when, if ever, they will be able to return to their homes.

An AP-GfK poll showed that 55 percent of Japanese want to reduce the number of nuclear reactors in the country, while 35 percent would like to leave the number about the same. Four percent want an increase while three percent want to eliminate them entirely.

THESPORTSPAGE

Dowd named SEC player of week Staff Reports After a two-goal, fivepoint effort during Tennessee soccer’s 4-0 rout of Coastal Carolina last Friday at the Regal Soccer Stadium, senior Emily Dowd has been chosen by the league office as the Southeastern Conference’s Offensive Player of the Week for Sept. 19.

The weekly league award marks the first of Dowd’s career at Rocky Top and the second for the Big Orange soccer program early on in the 2011 campaign. Sophomore forward Caroline Brown previously reaped league accolades back on Aug. 22, after scoring three combined goals during season-opening road victories at Kansas (2-1, OT) and Oklahoma (3-1).

“I am very proud of Emily Dowd and her efforts thus far this season,” Lady Vol Head Soccer Coach Angela Kelly said. “She is certainly a focused individual this fall.

Emily is becoming not just a goal scorer, but a true finisher. That takes a solid understanding of the game.

I am very proud of how she has developed during her career at Tennessee.”

With her success against the Chanticleers, the Gainesville, Fla., native now owns four career multi-goal performances, with two of those having occurred this year, and has now registered all five of

her goals this season over UT’s last four matches (Middle Tennessee, UNC Greensboro, Charlotte and Coastal Carolina).

Dowd picked up her first score of the evening versus Coastal Carolina off a cross from the right wing by junior midfielder Amy Harrison. Standing in the middle about six yards out, she volleyed home the pass at 18:46 to improve UT’s scoreboard advantage to 30.

During the 55th minute a perfect long ball up the right wing from senior forward Chelsea Hatcher located Dowd with space to work. A quick dribble ended in a drive from 12 yards out that easily beat CCU goalkeeper Megan Spencer into the lower left corner and finalized the Lady Vol offensive output at four scores.

With five goals and three assists thus far in 2011, Dowd now possesses 15 career goals and eight assists for 38 total points over 68 matches played while clad in the Orange & White.

Next up for Tennessee is the start of the rugged Southeastern Conference campaign as South Carolina ventures to Knoxville for a 7 p.m. ET match on Fri., Sept. 23.

Admission for UT’s effort to officially “Sell Out Regal Stadium” will be just $1 while the first 1,500 fans through the gate will receive special Tennessee Soccer scarves.
