Physiological basis
The physiological basis for color constancy is thought to involve specialized neurons in the primary visual cortex that compute local ratios of cone activity, which is the same calculation that Land’s retinex algorithm uses to achieve color constancy. These specialized cells are called double-opponent cells because they compute both color opponency and spatial opponency. Double-opponent cells were first described by Nigel Daw in the goldfish retina[citation needed]. There was considerable debate about the existence of these cells in the primate visual system; their existence was eventually proven using reverse-correlation receptive field mapping and special stimuli that selectively activate single cone classes at a time, so-called “cone-isolating” stimuli.
Color constancy works only if the incident illumination contains a range of wavelengths. The different cone cells of the eye register different ranges of wavelengths of the light reflected by every object in the scene. From this information, the visual system attempts to determine the approximate composition of the illuminating light. This illumination is then discounted in order to obtain the object’s “true color” or reflectance: the wavelengths of light the object reflects. This reflectance then largely determines the perceived color.
Retinex Theory
The effect was described in 1971 by Edwin H. Land, who formulated retinex theory to explain it. The word “retinex” is a portmanteau formed from “retina” and “cortex”, suggesting that both the eye and the brain are involved in the processing.
The effect can be experimentally demonstrated as follows. A display called a “Mondrian” (after Piet Mondrian whose paintings are similar) consisting of numerous colored patches is shown to a person. The display is illuminated by three white lights, one projected through a red filter, one projected through a green filter, and one projected through a blue filter. The person is asked to adjust the intensity of the lights so that a particular patch in the display appears white. The experimenter then measures the intensities of red, green, and blue light reflected from this white-appearing patch. Then the experimenter asks the person to identify the color of a neighboring patch, which, for example, appears green. Then the experimenter adjusts the lights so that the intensities of red, blue, and green light reflected from the green patch are the same as were originally measured from the white patch. The person shows color constancy in that the green patch continues to appear green, the white patch continues to appear white, and all the remaining patches continue to have their original colors.
Color constancy is a desirable feature of computer vision, and many algorithms have been developed for this purpose. These include several retinex algorithms[citation needed]. These algorithms receive as input the red/green/blue values of each pixel of the image and attempt to estimate the reflectances of each point. One such algorithm operates as follows: the maximal red value rmax of all pixels is determined, and also the maximal green value gmax and the maximal blue value bmax. Assuming that the scene contains objects which reflect all red light, and (other) objects which reflect all green light and still others which reflect all blue light, one can then deduce that the illuminating light source is described by (rmax, gmax, bmax). For each pixel with values (r, g, b) its reflectance is estimated as (r/rmax, g/gmax, b/bmax).
Although retinex models are still widely used in computer vision, they have been shown not to accurately model human color perception.

The armrest in the backseat of a Lincoln Town Car, featuring cupholders.
Look up armrest in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
In an automotive context, an armrest (or arm rest) is a feature found in many modern vehicles on which occupants can rest their arms.
Armrests are more prolific in larger, more expensive models of car.
Front
In the front of the car, a central armrest, which commonly folds away based on user preference, will also often include a storage compartment and sometimes even cup holders. Some also provide the location for controls for non-essential functions of the vehicle, such as climate control or window motors. The central armrest are buit in strong plastic material and have a soft pad covered in textile or leather. Examples of front central armrests at woodcompany.com
Sometimes one or two armrests may also be attached to each individual seat, a feature commonly found in minivans (MPVs) and some SUVs.
Frequently there is a further armrest built into the door of the car, often forming part of the door pulling handle.
Rear
A rear arm-rest will typically fold away between the back seats, to allow for the central (third) seating place to be used.
In some designs where occupant safety is emphasised, including some Volvo models, the armrest doubles as a child seat, complete with specially adjustable seatbelt.
As with the front, it is not unusual to have armrests built into rear doors, or the side of the car if there is no rear door.

Plot Details
Having lost the first Cannonball Run race, Sheik Abdul Ben Falafel (Jamie Farr) is ordered by his father (Ricardo Montalban) to go back to America and win another Cannonball Run in order to “emblazon the Falafel name as the fastest in the world.” When Sheik Abdul points out that there is no Cannonball Run that year, his father simply tells him to “buy one.” To make sure his ulcer doesn’t prevent him from winning, the Sheik hires Doctor Nikolas Van Helsing (Jack Elam), who raced with JJ (Burt Reynolds) and Victor (Dom DeLuise) in the first race, as his in-car physician. And he brings along a blond-haired servant (Doug McClure), who receives numerous slaps in the face from both the sheik and his father. Most of the rest of the participants from the first race are convinced to come back for the second race, including JJ and Victor, who have taken jobs working with a flying stunt crew.
In a subplot, Blake (Dean Martin) and Fenderbaum (Sammy Davis Jr.) are in financial trouble with mob enforcer Hymie Kaplan (Telly Savalas). When the Sheik manages to bail out the two by handing Hymie a stack of cash, Hymie comes to realize how much money the Sheik is worth. This also comes to the attention of Don Don Canneloni (Charles Nelson Reilly), who runs a bordello in the middle of the desert and has lost millions of dollars of the money of his father, Don Canneloni (also played by Dom DeLuise in a direct parody of The Godfather). In order to get the money he lost, Don Don has a couple of his men attempt to kidnap the Sheik during the middle of the race and ransom him off.
The race goes on without a hitch, with JJ and Victor dressed as a Marine general and his private driver. Just before the race, the two catch the attention of Betty (Marilu Henner) and Veronica (Shirley MacLaine), two women who are dressed as nuns for a musical, but who are willing to hitch a ride with JJ and Victor when they think the two will become overnight millionaires. As the race progresses, Don Don’s enforcers continue to blunder one plan after another, with predictably slapstick results.
When the rest of the racers find out Don Don’s plan, they band together to invade the bordello. JJ, Victor, and Fenderbaum infiltrate the bordello in drag, dressed as belly dancers. The rest of the racers barrel their way in with their cars and rescue the Sheik, who is reluctant to leave since he has his pick of women there. In the end, the Sheik bankrolls Don Don’s bordello and then declares that he’s upping the stakes to $2 million for the winner of the race. The rest of the racers quickly jump in their vehicles and make a dash for the finish line. The Sheik, as it turns out, lost yet again (this time blaming the doctor who rode with him for injecting him with an unknown substance), but convinces his father that he’ll win the return trip race, having hired the winner of the last race. The Sheik’s father introduces himself to the winner, who turns out to be an orangutan limo driver, with a penchant for destructive behavior and giving elderly ladies the middle finger.
Continuity error
[original research?]
At 1:00:38 in the movie there is a continuity error the two racers (portrayed by Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr.) disguised as policemen driving a red C4 Corvette run the General’s (portrayed by Burt Reynolds) Chrysler Imperial limo off the road. However, as it’s done, the car seen running the general’s limo off the road is a Dodge Daytona Turbo Z that was the car driven by Frank Sinatra’s character. The uniform worn by Burt Reynolds is actually an Army one.
JJ and Victor drive a Chrysler Imperial limo yet when they drop off Lyle and pull away they’re driving a Cadillac Seville
Towards the end of the movie, there is a scene in which you see each car from a distance on a long stretch of road racing toward the camera. One of the cars shown is the yellow car that the girls were driving, when in fact that car had broke down earlier on and they were driving a tow truck at that point in the movie.

Porphyry copper deposit
Friday, September 4th, 2009
Scrap Copper Wire ,
Characteristics
From Cox, (1986) US Geological Survey Bulletin 1693
Characteristics of porphyry copper deposits include:
The orebodies are associated with multiple intrusions and dikes of diorite to quartz monzonite composition with porphyritic textures.
Breccia zones with angular or locally rounded fragments are commonly associated with the intrusives. The sulfide mineralization typically occurs between or within fragments , calcium bentonite .
The deposits typically have an outer epidote - chlorite mineral alteration zone , zinc aluminium .
A quartz - sericite alteration zone typically occurs closer to the center and may overprint , business opportunity lead .
A central potassic zone of secondary biotite and orthoclase alteration is commonly associated with most of the ore , power lithium .
Fractures are often filled or coated by sulfides, or by quartz veins with sulfides. Closely spaced fractures of several orientations are usually associated with the highest grade ore.
Porphyry copper deposits are typically mined by open-pit methods.

Porphyry-type ore deposits for metals other than copper
Copper is not the only metal that occurs in porphyry deposits. There are also porphyry ore deposits mined primarily for molybdenum, many of which contain very little copper. Examples of porphyry molybdenum deposits are the Climax, Urad, and Henderson deposits in central Colorado, and the Questa deposit in northern New Mexico.
The US Geological Survey has classed the Chorolque and Catavi tin deposits in Bolivia as porphyry tin deposits.
Some porphyry copper deposits in oceanic crust environments, such as those in the Philippines, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea, are sufficiently rich in gold that they are called copper-gold porphyry deposits.
Porphyry Copper has to go through the process of Supergene enrichment.[citation needed] This involves the upper mineral layers beomming dissolved and precipitated below the water table, where Supergene enrichment can occur. For supergene enrichment to occur there must be the pressence of Iron Pyrite to allow the process of weathering to occur in the upper layers.

Power door locks
Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009
Transponder Key ,
wer door locks (also known as electric door locks or central locking) allow the driver or front passenger to simultaneously lock or unlock all the doors of an automobile or truck, by pressing a button or flipping a switch.
Power door locks were introduced on the luxury Scripps-Booth in 1914, but were not common on luxury cars until Packard reintroduced them in 1956. Nearly every car model today offers this feature as at least optional equipment.
Early systems locked and unlocked only the car doors. Many cars today also feature systems which can unlock such things as the luggage compartment or fuel filler cap door.
It is also common on modern cars for the locks to activate automatically when the car is put into gear or reaches a certain speed. Automatic unlocking when the car is parked is usually also featured on such systems.
Remote and handsfree
Pressing a button on the key unlocks all of the car doors. Another button locks the car , bicycle chain lock .
Today, many cars with power door locks also have a remote keyless system, which allows a person to press a button on a remote control (or, on some Ford cars and trucks and the Nissan Maxima, enter a numeric combination on an external keypad) to unlock the car without using a key. This system confirms successful (un-)locking through either a light or a horn signal, and usually offers an option to switch easily between these two variants. Both provide almost the same functionality, though light signals are more discreet while horn signals might create a nuisance in residential neighborhoods and other busy parking areas (e.g. short-term parking lots) , lock fingerprint .
Other cars have a proximity system that is triggered if a keylike transducer (Advanced Key or handsfree) is within a certain distance of the car , wireless pc lock .
Finally, some other includes garage door opener, integrated , finger print locks .

Fingerprint Identification Door Lock ,
First generation (19891994)
Main article: Subaru Legacy (first generation)
1991 Legacy LS wagon (US)
The first Legacy was introduced on February 1, 1989, as a larger companion to the company’s Leone/Loyale. The worldwide introduction of the Legacy was a notable departure from Subaru products in the past. The Legacy was formally introduced January 23 1989 in Japan, with an introductory price of 2,550,000 for the RS (approx. USD $18,800 at ‘89 yen exchange rate). Worldwide distribution started in 1990.
Subaru had earned a reputation of building vehicles that were regarded as “quirky” and other Asian manufacturers were bringing more upscale and conventional appearing models to the market. The Legacy appeared at the same time as the USA introduction of Lexus and Infiniti and a couple years after Acura, and was the largest sedan and wagon Subaru offered for sale. However, Subaru didn’t have a large displacement V6 or V8. The Legacy was more aerodynamic than previously built products, with soft edges and a more coherent appearance. The sedan has a break in the beltline where it drops down from the windshield to the front door glass, and then juts up from the rear door glass to the rear window, and the beltline is interrupted as it transitions down to the rear window on the wagon. The beltline treatment was used again on the SVX when it was introduced in 1992. The Legacy was interpreted by some as Subaru’s attempt at participating in the growing, upscale market. The Legacy broke with many Subaru traditions, such as no longer locating the spare tire in the engine compartment, behind the engine and above the transmission. The Legacy was an all-new model, and positioned above the Leone in Subaru’s model range. The Legacy also introduced an entirely new engine series, called the Subaru EJ engine, which was quieter and more powerful than the previous Subaru EA engine , portable door lock .
Japan-spec 1991 Subaru Legacy RS-R (STi modified , interior door lock .
The DOHC 2.0 liter turbocharged 217 bhp (162 kW; 220 PS) EJ20G engine was introduced in the Japan-spec Legacy RS in 1989 and later used in the Impreza WRX when it was introduced to Japan in 1993. International versions of the Legacy turbo were offered the DOHC 2.0 liter engine with a water-cooled intercooler starting with 1991, with a manual transmission only. The USA-spec EJ22T SOHC 2.2 liter 163 bhp (122 kW; 165 PS) turbo was not offered the water-cooled intercooler when it was introduced to them in 1991. The USA turbocharged engine was available with either a manual or automatic transmission , exterior door lock .
The Legacy began with a 5-door wagon or 4-door sedan body styles with FWD and an optional full-time AWD package, and was introduced in North America, the UK, Germany, the Benelux region of Northern Europe, Japan and Australia. The car was built with many luxury and technological advancements normally found on more expensive vehicles as standard equipment, such as power windows, central locking, fuel injection, air conditioning, speed sensitive power assist rack-and-pinion steering, alloy wheels, 4-wheel independent suspension with both negative scrub and anti-dive and squat geometery, anti-sway bars front and rear, and 4-wheel disc brakes. Items that were optional that didn’t make the vehicle too expensive were 4-channel ABS, licensed from Bosch and air suspension height control, which lowered the vehicle at speeds above 50 mph (80.5 km/h), and also allowed the driver to increase the vehicles ground clearance for off-road conditions , dead bolt lock .
On vehicles equipped with power central locking, the feature is activated from the inside drivers door lock switch only, by pushing the rocker switch to lock or unlock all doors. The power door lock switch is not labeled, and the appearance of the driver’s door lock rocker switch is the same as the door lock rocker switch on the other doors. Other doors can be locked or unlocked individually by pushing the respective door lock, but it will not lock or unlock the other doors. The outside key door lock can unlock the drivers door only by turning the key partially, or with a complete turn to the left to unlock all doors.
Second generation (19931999)
Main article: Subaru Legacy (second generation)
Subaru Legacy GT Twin-Turbo wagon (Europe)
Subaru Liberty GX station wagon (Australia) with clear rear turn signal lenses and amber bulbs
Subaru Legacy Brighton wagon (US)with amber rear turn signal lenses
Second generation sales in Japan began October 7, 1993, and an introductory price of 2,753,000 for the GT (approx USD $25,250 at 1993 yen exchange rate), with an introduction for model year 1995 in North America with a full body and chassis revision. The exterior was designed by Olivier Boulay, who was hired by Subaru on a short-term basis. The tail light appearance on both the sedan and wagon was influenced by the taillights on the SVX. In 1996, Subaru decided to make AWD standard equipment in all vehicles produced for the North American market from that year to today’s current date. Subaru still offered a choice between FWD and AWD for its domestic market vehicles for this generation.
USA-spec GT models, first offered in 1990 as a turbocharged sedan or wagon in Japan, and as trim package for the USA version in 1994, became a top level model upgrade in 1996, using the new EJ25D DOHC 2.5 L naturally-aspirated engine. “Limited” trim level editions were introduced, offering heated leather, or cloth, seats and trim and a tinted, glass moonroof. The term “Limited” appeared on the “GT”, known as the “GT Limited” in 1998. The term “Limited” was used by itself on the Outback in 1998. Driver and front passenger airbags were added with the redesigned interior as standard equipment in accordance with USA Federal Government regulations. New equipment added to the list of features included RF remote keyless entry, fog lights, a rear spoiler on the sedan, upgraded stereo systems, and speed-sensitive power steering. 1999 Marked the 30th anniversary of Subaru in America, and the last of the second generation in North America. There was a special 30th Anniversary Edition offered in the USA with upgraded interior and sunroof, spoiler, alloy wheels on the “L” trim level cars. The USA-spec “Brighton” trim level also carried over from the facelifted first generation version that was priced below the “L” trim option.
The remote keyless entry can unlock just the drivers door by pushing the unlock button once, with two pushes unlocking all doors. Using the key to unlock the door after using the remote keyless entry to lock the doors will cause the alarm to sound, if equipped with a security system. The doors must be unlocked with the remote to avoid the security system from being set off.
In Japan, the GT-B was introduced June 1996, with the front and rear struts supplied by Bilstein, with the upgrade also available on the RS. The “B” designation stood for Bilstein. The GT and GT-B can also be distinguished by upgraded projector beam headlight lenses and foglights. Turbocharged versions continued to be available in markets that used right hand drive configurations. Specialty touring and racing versions were available in Japan, as well as the DOHC 2 liter twin sequential turbocharged EJ20H version on both the Legacy GT sedan and wagon with an automatic transmission and the RS sedan and wagon with the EJ20R and a manual transmission and a slightly higher horsepower rating, both identified as “Boxer 2-stage Twin Turbo” on the engine cover shroud.
Subaru Liberty RX Bilstein Edition Sedan (Australia) with clear rear turn signal lenses and amber bulbs, Bilstein badge
Australia saw out the last of the second generation Liberty in 1998 with a special “Bilstein Edition RX”, identifiable by a Bilstein badge on the right rear boot lid and a lower stance due to front and rear Bilstein struts. It also featured Leather seats and door inserts along with Momo sports leather steering wheel and 16in BBS alloys as standard equipment.
An unusual interior change placed the power window switches flat against the door panel, whereas the window switches for the first generation and third generation extended from the door panels and were oriented in a horizontal position and were located underneath the drivers or occupants hands for easy location and use, and integrated into the door pull and armrest. The express up feature for the driver’s window was also removed, leaving express down only. The power door lock switch design was upgraded to a more conventional door lock switch, installed next to the power window switches, with a secondary power lock switch installed for the front passenger.
According to the French Wikipedia, LPG is introduced as an alternative fuel source on European models with the 2.0 L and 2.2 L engines, and are outfitted by company Necam Koltec. The fuel tank is installed in the spare tire compartment, with the spare tire installed vertically on the left side of the trunk or cargo area.
With the introduction of the Legacy second generation in Israel, the Legacy name was replaced by the B4 brand.

For the 1981 motion picture, see Polyester (film).
Polyester is a category of polymers which contain the ester functional group in their main chain. Although there are many polyesters, the term “polyester” as a specific material most commonly refers to polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Polyesters include naturally-occurring chemicals, such as in the cutin of plant cuticles, as well as synthetics such as polycarbonate and polybutyrate. Natural polyesters and a few synthetic ones are biodegradable, but most synthetic polyesters are not.
Polyesters may be produced in numerous forms such as sheets and three-dimensional shapes. Polyesters as thermoplastics may change shape after the application of heat. While combustible at high temperatures, polyesters tend to shrink away from flames and self-extinguish upon ignition. Polyester fibers have high tenacity and E-modulus as well as low water absorption and minimal shrinkage in comparison with other industrial fibers.
Woven polyester fabrics are used in apparel and home furnishings such as bed sheets, beds, curtains and draperies. Similarly, industrial polyesters are used in tyre reinforcements, ropes, fabrics for conveyor belts, safety belts, coated fabrics and plastic reinforcements with high energy absorption. Polyester fiberfills are also used to stuff pillows, comforters and cushion padding.
Polyester fabrics are claimed to have a “less natural” feel when compared to similarly-woven fabrics made from natural fibers (i.e. cotton in textile uses). However, polyester fabrics may exhibit other advantages over natural fabrics, such as improved wrinkle resistance. As a result, polyester fibers are sometimes spun together with natural fibers to produce a cloth with blended properties.

Polyesters are also used to make bottles, films, tarpaulin, canoes, liquid crystal displays, holograms, filters, dielectric film for capacitors, film insulation for wire and insulating tapes.
Liquid crystalline polyesters are among the first industrially-used liquid crystalline polymers. They are used for their mechanical properties and heat-resistance. These traits also important in their application as an abradable seal in jet engines.
Thermosetting polyesters are used as casting materials, and chemosetting polyester resins are used as fiberglass laminating resins and non-metallic auto-body fillers. Fiberglass-reinforced unsaturated polyesters find wide application in bodies of yachts and as body parts of cars.
Polyesters are also widely used as a finish on high-quality wood products such as guitars, pianos and vehicle / yacht interiors. Burns Guitars, Rolls Royce and Sunseeker are a few companies that use polyesters to finish their products. Thixotropic properties of spray-applicable polyesters make them ideal for use on open-grain timbers, as they can quickly fill wood grain, with a high-build film thickness per coat. Cured polyesters can be sanded and polished to a high-gloss, durable finish.

Polyester fiber properties
The polyester industry
Basics
Polyester is a synthetic polymer made of purified terephthalic acid (PTA) or its dimethyl ester dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) and monoethylene glycol (MEG). With 18% market share of all plastic materials produced, it ranges third after polyethylene (33.5%) and polypropylene (19,5%).
The main raw materials are described as follows:
Purified Terephthalic Acid PTA CAS-No.: 100-21-0
Synonym: 1,4 Dibenzenedicarboxylic acid,
Sum formula; C6H4(COOH)2 , mol weight: 166,13
Dimethylterephthalate DMT- CAS-No: 120-61-6
Synonym: 1,4 Dibenzenedicarboxylic acid dimethyl ester
Sum formula C6H4(COOCH3)2 , mol weight: 194,19
Mono Ethylene Glycol MEG CAS No.: 107-21-1
Synonym: 1,2 Ethanediol
Sum formula: C2H6O2 , mol weight: 62,07
More information about polyester raw materials can be found for PTA ,DMT and MEG , at the webpage INCHEM “Chemical Safety Information from Intergovernmental Organizations”.
To make a polymer of high molecular weight a catalyst is needed. The most common catalyst is antimony trioxide (or antimony tri acetate):
Antimony trioxide ATO CAS-No.: 1309-64-4 Synonym: non, mol weight: 291,51 Sum formula: Sb2O3
In 2008 about 10 000 t Sb2O3 were used to produce around 49 Mio t polyethylene terephthalate.
Polyester is described as follows:
Polyethylene Terephthalate CAS-No.: 25038-59-9 Synonym / abbreviations: polyester, PET, PES Sum Formula: H-[C10H8O4]-n=60-120 OH, mol unit weight: 192,17
There are several reasons for the importance of PTA:
The relatively easy accessible raw materials PTA or DMT and MEG
The very well understood and described simple chemical process of polyester synthesis
The low toxicity level of all raw materials and side products during production and processing
The possibility to produce PET in a closed loop at low emissions to the environment
The outstanding mechanical and chemical properties of polyester
The recycle ability
The wide variety of intermediate and final products made of polyester
In table 1 the estimated world polyester production for textile polyester, bottle polyester resin, film polyester mainly for packaging and specialty polyesters for engineering plastics, which are the main fields of application, can be seen. According to this table, the world’s total polyester production might exceed 50 million tons per annum before the year 2010.

Raw material producer
The raw materials PTA, DMT and MEG are mainly produced by large chemical companies which are sometimes integrated down to the crude oil refinery where p-xylene is the base material to produce PTA and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is the base material to produce MEG.
Large PTA producers are for instance BP, Reliance, Sinopec, SK-Chemicals, Mitsui and Eastman Chemicals. MEG production is in the hand of about 10 global players which are headed by MEGlobal a JV of DOW and PIC Kuweit followed by Sabic.
Among the world’s largest polyester producers are the following companies:
Artenius, Advansa, DAK, DuPont, Eastman/Voridian, Hyosung, Huvis, Indorama, Invista, Jiangsu Hengli Chemical Fiber, Jiangsu Sanfangxian Industry, M&G Group, Mitsui, Mitsubishi, NanYa Plastics, Reichhold, Reliance, Rongsheng, Sabic, Teijin, Toray, Trevira, Tuntex, Wellman, Yizheng Sinopec, Zhejiang Hengi Polymerization.
With more than 500 plants in China, about half of the world production originates in that country. More information about polyester in China can be found under the web site of China Chemical Fiber Economic Information Network .
Polyester processing
After the first stage of polymer production in the melt phase, the product stream divides into two different application areas which are mainly textile applications and packaging applications. In figure 2 the main applications of…

History
The Volunteers have had 16 NCAA tournament appearances with an overall record of 11-16. A record of 8-6 in the first round, 3-5 in the second, and 0-4 in the regional semi finals. They have also been invited to the National Invitation Tournament 11 times. They have won nine regular season SEC championships in 1936, 1941, 1943, 1967, 1972, 1977, 1982, 2000, and 2008. The 1972, 1977, 1982, and 2000 seasons were all shared championships with another team from the Southeastern conference. Their conference tournament record is 54-43 record with 4 championships in the years 1936, 1941, 1943, and 1979. Historically Volunteer basketball has produced several successful National Basketball Association players including Allan Houston, Bernard King, Ernie Grunfeld, Dale Ellis, Tony White, Ron Slay, and Larry Robinson. Bernard King is one of only two players in the Volunteers history to ever have a jersey retired (the other being Ernie Grunfeld). He finished his career averaging a “double double” per game of 25.8 points and 13.2 rebounds.
Bruce Pearl Turnaround
After the Buzz Peterson era was less than a successful endeavor, Tennessee hired Bruce Pearl from Univ. of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 2005. Pearl’s assistants Tony Jones, Steve Forbes, Jason Shay, and Ken Johnson round out the winning staff that has helped bring the Vols to the NCAA tournament three years in a row. In the 2006-07 season The Volunteers were ranked 4th nationally in attendance with an average of 19,661 fans in Thompson-Boling Arena, which has a capacity of 21,758. Since coach Bruce Pearl arrived in March 2005 the attendance has increased by an average of 7,436 per game. Bruce Pearl’s style of fast pace, physical press defense, and up tempo game has fans waiting to watch every game. The Volunteers averaged approximately 80 points per game in the 2006-07 season.
