Running back battle heats up at camp Redshirt freshman lobbies for increased playing time David Cobb Staff Writer Alden Hill took the handoff from the student assistant turned quarterback and accelerated towards the defense, which in this case was two reserve players waiting to knock him around with large pads.

“More violent, Alden,” shouted crouched and scowling running backs coach Robert Gillespie, who was sporting a backwards Tennessee baseball cap.

Veterans Marlin Lane and Raijon Neal took their turns in the drill at practice on Tuesday and drew relatively docile reaction from Gillespie. The reserve backs did the same.

Then it was Hill’s turn again. He doesn’t quite fit into either the veteran or reserves category.

He led the team in rushing during the Orange and White game, was listed as the number two running back on the pre-fall camp depth chart and is one of just four scholarship running backs on UT’s 2013 roster.

He’s also a redshirt freshman who has never played in an actual game.

“Alden, that’s terrible,” admonished Gillespie once more as Hill completed another rep with less explosiveness than his coach preferred.

“Don’t reach for the ball,” Gillespie yelled one time.

“Don’t let the ball leave the body,” he shouted another.

Gillespie isn’t hard on Hill just for kicks, though. He sees the 6-foot-2, 215-pound former three-star prospect fulfilling a specific duty within the UT offense.

“Trying to get him to understand that his role is going to be as the bigger back,” Gillespie said after Tuesday’s practice. “So I’m really pushing him to have great pad level, finish his runs and be great in protection.”

Hill may also find himself on the field in an unrelated role as Lane seeks to reclaim playing time following his spring suspension – a sce•UT Athletics nario that Gillespie sounded optimistic about.

Python falls through ceiling, kills two boys The Associated Press TORONTO (AP) — A 100pound (45-kilogram) python blamed in the strangling deaths of two Canadian boys apparently escaped from its enclosure, slithered through a ventilation system and fell through the ceiling into the room where the young brothers were sleeping, authorities said Tuesday.

A snake expert said it was possible that the python was spooked and simply clung to whatever it landed on. Police are treating the deaths in Campbellton, New Brunswick, as a criminal investigation.

Autopsies on Noah Barthe, 4 and his brother Connor Barthe, 6, were performed Tuesday.

The brothers had been visiting the apartment of a friend whose father owned an exotic pet store on the floor below, Royal Canadian Mounted Police Sgt. Alain Tremblay said at a news conference in Campbellton. Tremblay said the African rock python was being kept inside the second floor apartment, not inside the pet store as authorities had previously stated.

Steve Benteau, a spokesman for the provincial Natural Resources Department, said no permit was issued for an African rock python and provincial authorities weren’t aware it was being kept at the apartment.

The department said the snake is generally only permitted in accredited zoos, unless there is a special permit.

Tremblay said the snake was housed in a large glass enclosure that reached the ceiling of the apartment and escaped through a small hole in the ceiling connected to the ventilation system.

He said the snake made its way through the ventilation system and moved toward the living

room, where the boys were sleeping. The pipe collapsed and the snake fell.

The friend of the boys was sleeping in another room and was unharmed.

The pet store owner, JeanClaude Savoie, told the Global News television station that he didn’t hear a sound and discovered the “horrific scene” when he went into his living room on Monday morning.

“I can’t believe this is real,” Savoie said.

He said the boys were the children of his best friend and were often at his apartment to visit his son. Savoie said the python, which he has had for at least 10 years, had been kept alone in its enclosure and was not handled by anyone else.

Police said the snake was killed by a veterinarian. It was sent for a necropsy to confirm the type of snake and help understand what may have caused it to attack.

Family spokesman Dave Rose, the boys’ great-uncle, said the brothers had spent Monday at Savoie’s family farm and played with different animals before staying over at the apartment. Rose thanked the community for their support and asked for privacy.

The snake was about 4.3 meters (14 feet) long, Tremblay said. He said police were looking at whether the store followed the province’s regulations on exotic animals.

“It’s a criminal investigation,” Tremblay said. “We’re going to look at all avenues.”

The RCMP’s Major Crime Unit is continuing the investigation, with the assistance of a reptile expert from the Magnetic Hill Zoo in Moncton, New Brunswick.

“I guess we can assume that given the size of the snake that certain things occurred, but the pathologist will be identifying See KILLER PYTHON on Page 2

SGA lobbying increases meal equivalency R.J. Vogt Managing Editor The availability of meal equivalency for the fall semester will increasedafter Student Government Association representatives lobbied for an extension.

The 5-8 p.m. time window has been lengthened by an hour, and students can now use their meal equivalency from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m.

The value of breakfast meal equivalency has also been increased from $4.05 to $4.35, and lunch and dinner meal equivalency has been increased from $4.55 to $4.85.

The new POD Market location in the library, which has replaced the old corner store next to Starbucks, will offer a special late night meal equivalency option from 4:30 p.m. to 1 a.m.

“I think a lot of students will be happy to see meal equivalency increased at the national brands, because it is definitely true that many students do not enjoy the cafeteria food as much.”

Jake Baker, SGA President SGA President Jake Baker, a senior in political science, said the changes are intended to simplify student dining options.

“This will make it easier for students to use their meal plan when and where they want,” Baker said.

Although the changes have made meals easier to acquire, some students bemoan a perceived lack of quality.

Adrien Raucoules, junior in mechanical engineering who has had a meal plan for the last three years, said although the

extended hours and values are appreciated, they do not solve the real problem.

“The supposed ‘increase’ in value does not compensate for the lack of quality presented by the dining halls,” Raucoules said. “If I get a meal plan, it will be the bare minimum.”

Baker addressed the concerns about food quality, pointing to a recent campaign titled the “Real Food Challenge” that hopes to increase the amount of organic and locally grown food on campus.

“The quality of food is definitely a concern for a lot of students, but Dining Services has been working to bring in greater variety while also accomodating students with dietary restrictions,” Baker said. “UT has a student nutritionist that can help you create a meal plan if you are vegan, gluten free, if you have allergies, etc.

“I think a lot of students will be happy to see meal equivalency increased at the national brands, because it is definitely true that many students do not enjoy the cafeteria food as much.”

SGA advises all students interested in serving on the Dining Services Committee, or any other administrative committee this year to visit sga.utk.edu to apply.

Applications are due Aug. 21.

Obama selects UT graduate to key nuclear security board Staff Report

•courtesy of Tennessee Today

Kenneth Mossman earned his master’s degree and doctorate from UT in 1970 and 1973 and was recently selected to the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board.

President Barack Obama recently nominated UT alumnus Kenneth L. Mossman to the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board.

Now a professor of health physics at Arizona State University, Mossman is an expert in radiation health and safety. He received his master’s degree in 1970 and doctorate in 1973, both in radiation biology, from UT and is a member of the Dean’s Advisory Board for the College of Arts and Sciences. He established the Ken and Blair Mossman Professorship in Biomedicine, currently held by Associate Dean and Professor Cynthia Peterson.

The Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board is a fivemember executive branch agency with safety oversight of all

US nuclear weapons facilities.

Its mission is to identify potential threats to public health and safety at the Department of Energy’s defense nuclear facilities and to make safety recommendations to the secretary of energy and to the president.

“I am excited about working with other presidential appointees on the board and the very talented civil servants who carry out the work of the board,” Mossman said. “I have always had a strong commitment to giving back, particularly to institutions that have contributed to my success.

This presidential appointment is another way of giving back.

Other than teaching, there is no greater calling than government service in the public interest.”

Mossman has published widely on topics such as biological effects of low- and highdose x-, gamma, and neutron

radiation; radiation exposure during pregnancy; the health effects of radon; and radiation protection and public policy.

His current research includes nuclear regulatory science and policy and managing small risks, as well as risk perception and risk communication.

Mossman has been at ASU since 1990. Prior to that, he was the founding chair of the Department of Radiation Science at the Georgetown Graduate School. He is also an administrative judge for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s Atomic Safety and Licensing Board, where he has served since 2008.

Mossman received his bachelor’s degree from Wayne State University, and a Master of Education degree from University of Maryland.

Mossman’s Senate confirmation process is expected to begin this fall.

Students share favorite places to eat on the Strip Kevin McNelis Contributor

Drummers for the Pride of the Southland Marching Band practice their cadence outside the Clarence Brown Theatre on Thursday, Aug. 8.

THIS DAY IN 1974: Nixon leaves office Having announced his resignation the day before, Richard M. Nixon steps down from the the presidency of the United States and is succeeded by Vice President Gerald R. Ford. Nixon had resigned rather than face almost certain impeachment because of the Watergate scandal, in which he was charged with misuse of presidential powers to violate the constitutional rights of U.S. citizens, obstruction of justice, and failure to respond to House Judiciary Committee subpoenas. The departure of Nixon would prove to be a fatal blow to the South Vietnamese, who always believed that the American president would be there to make good his promises to support them in their continuing post-ceasefire war against the North Vietnamese.

2010: Flight attendant quits

job via escape slide

HISTORY

On this day in 2010, JetBlue flight attendant Steven Slater quits his job in dramatic style by sliding down his plane’s emergency-escape chute while the aircraft is stopped near the terminal gate at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport. Slater, who claimed his actions were prompted by the behavior of a rude passenger, quickly became a media sensation and national folk hero.

At the time of the incident, the 38-year-old Slater was a steward on Flight 1052 from Pittsburgh to New York City. He contended that when the flight landed a passenger became abusive toward him during an argument over luggage. Although other passengers on the flight later disputed Slater’s account of the passenger’s behavior, what happened next was clear: The flight attendant got on the plane’s public address system, cursed at the pas-

senger and said, “I’ve been in this business for twenty years. And that’s it. I’ve had it. I’m done.”

Afterward, he took two beers from the beverage cart, deployed the emergency exit and started down the slide. Realizing he’d left his bags on the aircraft, he scrambled back up the slide to retrieve them before fleeing down the chute again. After leaving the airport terminal, he drove to his home in Queens, New York.

Slater, the son of a pilot and a flight attendant, was soon taken into police custody. After posting $2,500 bail, he walked out of jail the next night an instant celebrity and even a folk hero to stressedout, overworked Americans.

Experiencing his 15 minutes of fame, Slater appeared on national talk shows, was honored with Facebook fan pages and received offers to do reality TV programs and endorse a variety of products.

In October 2010, Slater, fac-

ing charges of reckless endangerment, criminal mischief and criminal trespassing, agreed to plead guilty to two counts of attempted criminal mischief and was spared jail time. As part of the deal, he agreed to undergo regular mental health and substance abuse counseling sessions for a year. Additionally, he was required to pay JetBlue $10,000 in restitution to replace the emergency chute. The Queens district attorney, Richard Brown, said of the famous flight attendant: “My own view of the situation was that Mr. Slater was humiliated by what he perceived as degrading working conditions, and he had a level of rage at that time that was exacerbated perhaps by alcohol consumption and maybe by other contributing stress factors.” his actions.”

There are many essentials to survival: water, air, smart phones and food, to name just a few. Luckily for UT students, the latter appears in an abundance places to eat on Cumberland Avenue, popularly known as the Strip.

From Volunteer Boulevard to the Baker Center, the street offers numerous establishments.

Cook-Out is a fast-food chain in the Southeastern area and is known for their cheap fare. Patrons can order a big double burger, fries, a chicken quesadilla and a large fountain drink for a little over $5. There are also 46 types of elaborate milkshakes that customers can order to wash down their meal. Only at select times of the day are the lines inside and at the drive-thru not backed up.

Oscar’s may be a step up from “fast food,” but its food is quick and mouthwatering nonetheless. Just a stone’s throw away from Cook-Out, Oscar’s gives the Strip Mexican flavor from their giant burritos and tasty quesadillas.

Sunspot, which recently moved to the far West end of the Strip, fancies itself as the place where tie-dyes and neckties unite. Its new location boasts a larger downstairs and an upstairs patio, which is packed nearly every Wednesday on Wine Night.

“The atmosphere is upscale while remaining casual,” said John Bamrick, junior in architecture and waiter at Sunspot. “It’s perfect for the most formal of dates like an anniversary or the very casual first date.”

Copper Cellar’s food, along with its antique and fashionable décor, attracts a wide range of Knoxvillians from college students to businessmen.

“Trivia Night and Fivedollar Burger Night are my favorite nights of the week,” said Mark Jackson, junior in communication studies and military science. “I’m no good at trivia but it is always fun and the food is great and cheap.”

Their menu offers a variety of items such as the filet mignon, Buffalo wings soaked with their signature Thunder Road sauce and the Kick-Back Burger.

the cause of death,” Tremblay said.

Tremblay said police spoke to the store owner briefly and will meet with him again.

Reptile expert Bry Loyst, curator of the Indian River Reptile Zoo in Ontario, said police have been seeking his advice. He said he was told by police that it wasn’t the first time that the python had escaped its enclosure. Police were not available to confirm that late Tuesday.

Loyst noted the boys had been playing with other animals hours earlier and he believes their scent might have attracted the snake.

Paul Goulet, founder and coowner of Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo in Ottawa, said snakes don’t recognize humans as a source of food, but if the children smelled like animals, it could explain an attack.

“If a snake sees an animal moving, giving off heat and smells like a goat, what is it?

It’s a goat,” Goulet said. “The reasonable explanation of how this has happened is that they had been playing with farm animals, they did smell like their prey items and the snake sadly enough mistook them as a food item when they weren’t.”

Rose said the kids had played with llamas, goats, horses and dogs and cats just a few hours earlier.

The town’s deputy mayor, Ian Comeau, said the Reptile Ocean shop was licensed to operate and “everything was according to our bylaws, to the provincial guidelines.” He said

he saw alligators, crocodiles and snakes when he toured the shop with the fire department about two years ago.

Snake expert John Kendrick, a manager at the Reptile Store in Hamilton, Ontario, said it sounds like the python was not enclosed properly and might have been spooked. He called the strangling deaths “very unusual” but said African rock pythons tend to be a little more highstrung.

“It’s very odd that one would go out and seek out a person. They don’t recognize us as food,” he said.

Pythons can sense heat, and if they are startled they can grab something, Kendrick said. He said snakes are very long and their muscles run lengthwise through their body, so they are not very stable unless they are holding on to something.

“A snake that size that was just trying to hold on securely enough to make sure he felt like he wasn’t falling or going anywhere; he has enough muscle power to cut off circulation,” he said.

It’s possible that the python was just holding on to what it landed on, Kendrick said.

“Once they are in constricting mode, any part of their body that is touching something that moves, they’ll wrap it,” he said. “I’ve seen snakes with two different prey items at the same time, one with the back of the body and one with the front. It could have been an incident like that.”

The Round Up: Students react to summer’s top entertainment news Gabrielle O’Neal Staff Writer

Best Summer Movies

Worst Summer Movies

“The Conjuring” Finally, a scary movie that’s actually scary. The Perron family moves into a new house and disturbing things happen. The family calls on Ed and Loraine Warren, a couple who deals with supernatural events. It’s based on a true story, which should be enough to scare you.

“Pacific Rim” This science fiction movie is set in the 2020s and directed

by Guillermo del Toro. Kaijus, which are monsters that attack highly populated cities, emerge from a rift in the Pacific Ocean. Humans fight back with Jagers, robots made to be piloted by two people. The dialogue isn’t that great, but the action, explosions, 3D and special effects make up for it.

“Wolverine” Hugh Jackman is back in this Marvel movie. It hit big at the box office and with plenty of action for the fellas and shirtless scenes for the ladies, it’s not hard to see why.

“Grown-ups 2” Adam Sandler and his crew are back in the sequel to his 2010 movie.

The film is full of immature, unfunny gags and jokes which make it no better than the original.

“R.I.P.D.” Boston Police Department Detective Nick Walker, played by Ryan Reynolds, gets killed in the line of duty. He is then transported to the Rest in Peace Department to patrol for spirits who failed to cross over. It’s adapted from a comic book and did not live up to it. The film is predictable and just plain terrible.

When school is out of session for summer, students have more free time than usual.

Entertainment’s best season is summer, and UT students took advantage of the latest movie releases and kept up with the latest news to keep busy during the warm months.

On the Festival Grounds A major summer event for music lovers which was the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival hosted in Nashville’s neighboring city, Manchester. Held June 13 to 16, the festival featured headlining artists like Paul McCartney, Passion Pit, Kendrick Lamar and Macklemore.

“It wasn’t any one musician but a combination

At the box office A number of highly anticipated movies came out this summer including a trio of superhero films: “Iron Man 3,” “Man of Steel” and “Wolverine.”

Ashley Fox, a senior double majoring in Spanish and Hispanic studies, saw “Wolverine” in theater and said the film fit Marvel Comic’s common form and showed significant improvement from the series’ last movie.

“They have to keep it to Marvel standard, fill it with action, but still have some story to bring it in,” Fox said. “I liked that the women of the movie weren’t stereotypical either, there is a red-headed girl who recruits him, who really made the audience like her.”

Another popular movie this summer was “The Conjuring.”

“I love horror movies,” said Michael Porter, senior majoring in political science. “It was really scary and it was well put together. And the fact that it’s based on a true story made it that much more intense.”

Even though “The Great Gatsby” (staring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire and Carey Mulligan) wasn’t so popular with film critics, it was well received by the common college audience.

“It was really flashy and the special effects were amazing,” Porter said. “It was suspenseful, it kept me at the edge of my seat and I just wanted to know what happened next.”

In our memory On July 13, actor Cory Monteith, who was best known for his role as Finn Hudson in the musical television show “Glee,” passed away due to drug overdose. Monteith was 31 at the time of his death.

“It’s sad to see someone young go,” Fox said. “I saw that he battled with drug addiction all his life.

I’m assuming what he used to do was too much for his body after rehab and being clean.”

Best Summer Albums

“Yeezus” Kanye West released his sixth studio album this summer on June 18. Its sound is aggressive and incorporates an electronic style and a plethora of drum machines, while lyrics detail the perils of fame. The tone is undoubtedly angry, but the truth behind the fury makes this album Yeezy’s most revealing to date.

“Magna Carta…Holy Grail” Jay-Z’s twelth studio album was released on July 8. The songs are a collection of Jay’s signature style and, like his peer Kanye West, the lyrics deal with the perils of fame. The album features special guests Justin Timberlake, Frank Ocean, and wife, Beyoncé. In short, Jay-Z does Jay-Z.

Worst summer album

“Stars Dance” Selena Gomez released her first studio album without her band The Scene this summer. The album is a standard Disney girl’s pitiful attempt at a grown-up album. You can’t miss the stale dance beats and unimpressive lyricism.

Best TV show

“Orange is the New Black” Not exactly a TV show, but Netflix struck gold with this new comedy-drama. The show is the memoirs of Piper Kerman’s experience in prison. The show has garnered favorable reviews because it refuses to oversimplify its complicated characters, portraying the women convicts as complex individuals.

Worst TV Show

“The Challenge: Rivals II” This is the 24th season of MTV’s show, “The Challenge.” Rivals from past seasons of the Real World have to partner up with their worst enemy to compete for a share of a $350,000 prize. Rehashing drama that is a decade old? Yeah, no thanks.

of Paul McCartney and Kendrick Lamar and the fact that it’s Bonnaroo.” said Zana Operta, a recent graduate of UT who attended Bonnaroo for the first time this summer.

Operta said that a big part of the four day festival is the camping experience.

“It was actually freezing at night and then got hot at seven,” Operta said, who camped out in a tent like many other festival-goers. “It wasn’t that hot actually but I wore bathing suits and drank a ton of water and sought shade.”

Across the pond In the spring and summer of 2011, the excitement of the royal wedding of Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, becoming the wife of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, was just tapering off. This summer, royal fever struck again.

On July 22, the Duchess gave birth to Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge. The birth of the little prince headlined international media, with news about the royal family.

“It just isn’t that relevant to me,” said Fox. “I see why it’s important historically and what not, but so long as he’s healthy and safe it doesn’t matter much.

I can see why people were interested, but I think the majority were only interested since it’s royalty.”

GAGE-ING your

INTEREST Ongoing construction builds UT’s future by

Gage Arnold Copy Chief

This is my last column for The Daily Beacon this summer, and as I step out of one door I begin my nervewracking and slightly exciting descent into another.

On Aug. 21 I will begin my senior year of college.

Honestly, I didn’t know if I’d ever have the opportunity to mutter those words and any seniors waiting for the school year to resume most likely share my sentiments.

However, change doesn’t always have to possess negative connotations. That’s why I’m seeing the bright side of UT’s Cone Zone initiative. For those who are unaware, Cone Zone, located at www.conezone.utk.edu, is UT’s construction umbrella that keeps students, faculty and visitors in the loop with modification projects and road closures on campus.

I’ll admit, much like most of the student body, I was skeptical when I first saw the decimated walkways and building infrastructures last fall.

I whined about the unpleasing aesthetics; I moaned about the long walks; I dreaded not being able to enjoy these buildings that made my time at UT so difficult.

But then I caught a glimpse of the new Natalie L. Haslam Music Building that was unveiled on August 7.

It was as if the completion of the building signified something much more than a new amenity for music students.

Here’s why.

As a trembling freshman, I scurried across campus each day, only to find an eyesore on Volunteer Boulevard.

Three years ago, the lot where the beautifully crafted and touted music building now stands was simply a barren lot of dirty rocks and nothingness.

And then came the construction process. Much like a student’s four-year career, week-by-week and monthby-month, change for the better took place. Experience helped shape their future.

But construction and progress often are not seen or appreciated until results are seen. That’s the limbo in which UT currently hovers. Construction officials with the university have already been on record stating that this summer has produced the most construction on UT’s campus at one time, ever.

The new Student Union; additions to the John D. Tickle Engineering Building; the slowly rising Fred D. Brown Residence Hall at the end of Pedestrian Walkway; road closures on Phillip Fulmer Way, Lake Loudon Boulevard and near the intersection of Andy Holt Avenue and Volunteer Boulevard...

Long story short, that’s a lot of construction.

But progress takes time. Just as students are not the same when they step onto The Hill as they are when they step off it, neither is this campus. It’s a living, breathing structure that pulses with aspirations for a brighter future.

So, why are we in such a rush?

Poll the entire rising senior class at UT and I’m sure overwhelming amounts are exceedingly upset that their fees will go towards a building that they won’t step foot in until they return as an alumni.

But Cone Zone and UT’s constructive prowess have hit upon something that needs to be highlighted and embraced.

They’re building an alumni base.

Normally Neyland Stadium was enough to bring alumni back to campus for a tailgate and reunion weekend, but as the Vols have struggled to rope fans into the stands, the university, more than likely, has struggled to bring their returning alumni back to campus.

And no alumni on campus mean less and less donations.

Rejuvenated buildings, although pricey, bring back and restock the alumni base. That, in return, equals more donations and a happier university.

UT has its bases covered; they’re crafty, smart and savvy.

It’s time for its alumni and fan base to wake up and realize that enduring temporary construction makes returning as an alumni that much sweeter.

Current events expose human idiosyncrasy Committee Of Infractions by

Greg Bearringer After watching the news in Knoxville and abroad the past week, I have come to one very important conclusion: everyone in the world is terrible.

That might be an exaggeration, however, it is probably closer to the truth to say that everyone in the world has the propensity to be terrible. Luckily, the corollary is that people have it in themselves to be good, too.

Let’s start with the incident of the women who became irate when a Chik-fil-a manager pointed out her breastfeeding in public. His argument was that she was in the vicinity of children, and without the benefit of extra covering, her action might make patrons uncomfortable.

Anyone who has been around a woman who indiscreetly drops her shirt and feeds a child knows how uncomfortable it is. Having not been a mother myself, I could see a scenario where I might be too tired or too far away to care much about briefly exposing my breast to feed my child. All around, this was a minor yet uncomfortable experience that probably shouldn’t be news.

Except the woman gathered a group of

peacefully, or failing that, a Russian athlete or two or ten will boycott the games.

Finally, the blue-ribbon winner in this column is the NCAA, which continues to operate with the moral authority usually reserved for pimps and drug dealers. Jay Bilas, a commenter for ESPN, wanted to test the NCAA’s claim that they do not profit from the names of the student athletes. He did so by typing in the names of college football players into the search engine of the NCAA’s jersey shop, NCAASports.com. Despite the fact that the jerseys are sold without names on the back of them, searching for “Jadaveon Clowney”, “Johnny Manziel”, and other current players would give you the correct school name and jersey number of those athletes. Instead of realizing their hypocrisy, the NCAA simply removed the search feature from their website. I guess a hypocrisy covered up is just as good as one justified.

If there is anything like justice in the world, the NCAA will loose the impending “O’Bannon” trial, causing them to have to actually reimburse the students they make money off of. The “breastfeeding” lady will fade into obscurity, and Vladimir Putin will realize that the Olympics are bigger than his agenda.

hour. You can now pick up that $5-footlong from 4:30-8:30 p.m.

There is also an added late night meal equivalency option at the new 24-hour POD Market in Hodges Library from 4:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. Studying in the stacks never tasted so good.

breastfeeding friends and conducted a “nursein”.

What she did was not against the law; in fact, it was explicitly within the confines of the law. What she did break was the general social mores that govern most of our public actions. Oddly, if she had done this in 17th century Purtian New England, they might not have had the same issue with what she did — concepts of modesty change with society, after all. The reason that she is a terrible person lays in her attempt to make someone’s uncomfortable situation into an attack on motherhood or her rights as a citizen.

Attention: If this is something that gets you riled up, you probably need a hobby.

Then, of course, there are also the Russians, who somehow imagine that preventing LGBT activities of any sort during the Olympics — or even the Winter Olympics — will accomplish more than making people angry at them. Conversely, some in the LGBT community (understandably) would like to boycott the games, which would probably only accomplish wrecking the dreams of athletes who have dedicated a large portion of their lives perfecting a craft which they hope will get them a bit of fame and perhaps a marketing deal to supplement their all-too-meager salaries. While I can’t blame those in the LGBT community who would wish to boycott the games, I do think that it would be something of a hollow statement. The hope is that the games will go on

ARTS & CULTURE

Arts & Culture Editor Melodi Erdogan merdogan@utk.edu

Folk album makes bitter sweet Gabrielle O’Neal Staff Writer

Friday, August 9 What: Phil Keaggy with David Clifton and Jacob Johnson When: 8 p.m.

Where: The Square Room Price: $20 - $25 Melodi’s Take: The summer is coming to an end, but the artistic culture and entertainment in Knoxville is just heating up. As students make their way back to campus, there’s that reminder of the looming day in which classes begin, and summer officially dies. But there’s still two more weekends -- why not celebrate tonight with Phil Keaggy? This award-winning guitarist specializes in acoustic music and could easily captive a crowd with his skilled fingers on the strings of his guitar. Market Square is a guaranteed place to enjoy a Friday night, so let Keaggy be the main attraction.

Saturday, August 10 What: The Octopus Project When: 10 p.m.

Where: Pilot Light (ages 18 and up) Price: $10 - $12 Melodi’s Take: It’s not everyday that you come across a group that fits in no genre. The Octopus Project, although, is one of them. This band, most closely aligns with the Animal Collective, with psychedelic overtones augmenting an indie twist. Their sound is something that translates well on records and will sound even better in a live concert setting. • Photo courtesy of The Octopus Project

Sunday, August 11 What: Foothills Community Players: “Fiddler on the Roof�

When: 7:30 p.m.

Where: Clayton Center for the Arts, Maryville Price: $15 - $22 Melodi’s Take: If I were a rich man, what would I do on a Sunday night? Opt for a production of “Fiddler on the Roof� put on by the Foothills Community Players.

The classic musical tells a story of a Jewish family in pre-revolution Russia through a sweeping score that will have you whistling hours after the show. Although the venue is a little bit of a drive from campus and the downtown Knoxville area, the trip is a nice chance to learn the soundtrack on Spotify. • Photo courtesy of Foothills Community Players

After a hiatus due to “internal discord and irreconcilable differences of ambition,� The Civil Wars is back.

The alternative folk duo released their new self-titled album on August 8, having recorded the album before the break. The Grammyaward winning duo is composed of singer-songwriters Joy Williams and John Paul White. who released their debut album “Barton Hallow� back in 2011. “The Civil Wars� is a collection of twelve haunting tracks, spooky in the best way possible. The songs deal with love and heartbreak in an honest setting. As a whole, “The Civil Wars� is an album that isn’t necessarily a collection of songs, but rather a streamlined, musically arranged set of diary entries.

The relationship between White and Williams remains a mystery. Fans will listen along to their harsh yet beautiful lyrics, hoping to unearth the story behind why this extraordinary act could not remain together.

It’s obvious that the Nashville natives put a lot of emotion into every song on the album. “The Civil Wars� maintains a similar style as “Barton Hollow,� its debut release from 2011, with a bit more of an alternative edge.

Whatever feelings that caused the groups hiatus is noticeable in this collection of songs, if not completely blatant. Listeners may occasionally find themselves pondering if Williams and White are singing with each other, or at each other.

“I can’t pull you closer than this/ It’s just you and the moon on my skin.�

The chorus culminates, sweeping to a wrenching conclusion: “Oh who says it ever has to end/ Oh don’t say that it’s over/ Oh no say it ain’t so.�

The repressed emotions and strong feelings on this track are evident by the passion and force infused in both artists’ vocals. This is another point where listeners may feel the “internal discord� that split the group in the first place.

The album’s first single and first track is titled “The One Who Got Away,â€? and fits into the collection of songs as a morose ballad. The beginning of the song starts slow but ends with a bit of fire, making it one of the more conspicuous songs on the album. The song is about regret through hindsight of a relationship. “Oh, I wish I’d never ever seen your face/ I wish you were the one/ Wish you were the one that got away/ I miss the way you wanted me/ When I was staying just out of your reach/ Begging • Photo courtesy of Civil Wars for the slightest touch/ Ooh, you couldn’t get enough.â€?

The song is more alternative This only builds up the mystery than folk with it’s not-too-fast-or- behind the split even more.

Fans of The Civil Wars’ first slow pace, so listeners can nod album are sure to enjoy “The their heads along to the beat.

Following the theme of Civil Wars.� It’s lyrics and melolove and lost love is the song dies are impressive to say the “Eavesdrop.� The best part of least, but the album highlights the song occurs in the chorus themes that any one can relate when Williams sings, “Oh don’t to, making it that much more say that it’s over/ Oh no say it relevant to a wide audience. “The Civil Wars� by The Civil ain’t so/ Let’s let the stars watch/ Let them stare/ Let the wind Wars is available to purchase on eavesdrop/ I don’t care/ For all iTunes and available to listen to that we’ve got, don’t let go/ Just on Spotify. hold me,� to which White replies, Each song is stunning in its own right, but one song that stands out is “I Had Me a Girl.�

Williams sings, “I had me a boy/ Who buttoned me down/ Drew me a line/ He, he washed me as clean/ As a sinner could be/ Showed me the light/ Oh that boy, he taught me to pray/ But for all of his spit-shinin’ ways.�

Running Backs continued from Page 1

“I’ve really been challenging Alden to become a really good special teams player,” Gillespie said. “A lot of your better backs in this league start out and gain experience by playing special teams.

“I’m always going to be tough on him, and so far he’s responding well.”

Though Jones said there may be enough carries to go around for the trio, the starting running back in his three seasons at Cincinnati averaged four and a half times the number of carries that the backup did.

“We will use all three,” Jones said Wednesday, before mentioning that linebacker A.J. Johnson may also get carries in short-yardage situations. “But we have three really capable running backs, and they’ve done a great job in our goal line sets.”

Neal, a senior, and Lane, a junior, split carries in 2012. Lane started the final six games after Neal injured his ankle and was gimpy down the stretch. Neal finished the year with 156 carries while Lane registered 120.

But Lane’s suspension during spring

practice and Hill’s 18-carry, 101-yard spring game was enough for Hill to get the nod behind Neal at No. 2 on the depth chart entering fall camp.

Gillespie acknowledged the setbacks of Lane missing spring practice but was not hesitant to list him as a standout in the running backs competition.

“Rajion and Marlin, both of those guys are really competing right now,” Gillespie said.

“There is no depth chart right now.

And I think that’s what’s making the guys hungry right now and competing.”

For Lane, part of the hunger comes from just being on the field following his suspension.

He spoke with the media on Wednesday for the first time since returning to the team.

“Just missing football, not being able to be with my team,” said Lane of what he learned during his time out. “I sat out and I thought about it each and every day. But all that is behind me and I’m ready to play ball.”

Tiger Woods struggles at PGA Championship Associated Press Tiger Woods made a mess of his final hole at the PGA Championship, hardly looking like he’s poised to break the longest major drought of his career.

Jim Furyk feels like his game is finally coming together again.

Despite a bogey at his final hole, Furyk seized the lead at Oak Hill with a 5-under 65 in the opening round Thursday.

“You’re usually disappointed to end the day with a bogey,” the 43-year-old American said. “But a 65 at the PGA, that’s not so bad.”

Furyk rolled in a 40-foot birdie putt at the 16th — his seventh hole of the round after starting on the back side — and pushed his score to 6 under until that stumble at the ninth left him with his lone bogey. He shook his head after missing a 25-footer to save par, but couldn’t complain much about the way he played on a course softened by overnight rain.

Canadian journeyman David Hearn was one stroke back after starting with a 66. Four players, including Matt Kuchar, were at 67.

Woods got off to a good start in his bid to break an 0-for-17 slump in the majors, making the turn with a 2-under 33.

But he bogeyed the par-5 fourth, normally one of the easier holes, and wound up above par after plopping his approach into thick rough short of the green at No. 9. He took a whack at the ball — and sent it right into a bunker, up against the lip.

He was able to get the club on it, landing about 12 feet below the flag. The putt, however, caught the left side of the cup and spun out.

“The round, realistically, could’ve been under par easily,” Woods said.

Furyk, the 2003 U.S. Open champion, hasn’t won since the Tour Championship three years ago, though he’s had plenty of solid efforts. But he fell into a bit of a slump this summer, missing the cut at both the U.S. Open and the British Open, struggling with his driver and the putter.

“I did not feel confident with my putter and that was putting a lot of pressure on the rest of my game,” Furyk said.

He showed signs of turning things around the last two weeks, finishing ninth at the Canadian Open and the Bridgestone.

“I’m feeling very comfortable with what I’m doing with the driver,” Furyk said.

“And this was one of my best rounds, if not the best putting round, I’ve had this year.”

None of his putts was better than the one at No. 16. Then, at the 18th, he knocked a 4-iron within a foot of the cup for a tap-in par. When Furyk wasn’t making birdies, he was saving par with a bunch of testy little putts on Oak Hill’s postage stamp greens.

Only at the ninth did Furyk score finally go up. He drove it in the right rough and had to chip out, ruining his shot at a bogey-free round.

Playing not far from home, Hearn opened and closed his round with bogeys.

In between, he ripped off six birdies under skies that turned mostly sunny.

“I played some really solid golf,” said Hearn, who grew up five blocks from Wayne Gretzky’s house in Brantford, Ontario — about 140 miles west of this venerable course just outside Rochester.

The 34-year-old Hearn has never won on the PGA Tour but he came close just before the British Open, losing to Jordan Spieth in a playoff at the John Deere Classic.

“That was a great experience for me,” Hearn said. “I’m proud of the way I played. It just didn’t go my way at the finish.”

After failing to get up and down at the first hole, Hearn rolled in a short birdie putt at No. 2. Three more birdies in the 15-foot range really got him rolling before an errant drive at the 18th left him with another bogey and a bit of a sour feeling on the way to sign his scorecard.

He quickly shook it off.

“It feels good to be in contention,” Hearn said. “I’ve been playing some really good golf the last few weeks.”

He is playing in a major championship for just the fourth time in his career. Hearn has qualified for three U.S. Opens, his best showing a tie for 21st at Merion this year.

Jacques Smith, defensive end, could possibly miss the beginning of the season due to a thumb injury acquired during training camp.

Injuries open doors for freshmen players David Cobb Staff Writer

Just three weeks ago, Jacques Smith stood confidently on a podium at SEC Media Days eager for the season to start.

But after practicing just once in full pads, the senior defensive end is in jeopardy of missing the beginning of the 2013 season.

Butch Jones announced after Wednesday’s practice that Smith underwent surgery for a broken thumb that he sustained in Tuesday’s practice. A UT release termed the injury as a broken hand.

“We’ll see how the body heals,” Jones said, “but the timetable is about four to six weeks and we’ll see how he progresses.”

Jones said Smith is in good spirits following his operation.

“That’s football,” Jones said.

“It gives another person another opportunity to develop.”

At least for the moment, that person won’t be Corey Vereen.

The freshman defensive end, who wreaked havoc on the offense during UT’s spring game, is also out with an injured knee. He underwent an MRI and Jones expected to know more about his status by Thursday.

“It lends itself to more players getting an opportunity,” Jones said of the injury situation at the defensive end position. “We have some

UT’s freshmen are easily identifiable at practice and it’s not for performance related reasons.
