While Wednesday’s and Thursday’s campus closings got students out of class, they caused students and faculty members to cancel or reschedule doz-ens of campus events.
There were 29 events, meetings and information tables scheduled for Thursday, according to the events page of The University of Memphis website, that were either canceled or resched-uled due to inclement weather and The University’s closing campus.

For several University of Memphis stu-dents and faculty, the sound of love this Valentine’s Day might be a bit lower and brassier than usual.
U of M students of the Dan Peritoni chapter of the International Tuba Euphonium association are offering lov-ers the chance to send a tuba quartet to
serenade their significant others on cam-pus Monday.
Tickets are on sale today from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the breezeway between the Rudi E. Scheidt School of Music and the Theatre and Communication Building.
The tickets cost $15 and include a performance of the purchaser’s choice of one of six songs, including Luther Vandross’ “Always and Forever” and The Temptations’ “My Girl.”

My name is Lawanda Hill and I’m working on a doctorate in Instruction, Curriculum and Leadership with a certification in Urban Education. TNOBC is the place to be for U of M students because it’s an opportunity to combine academic growth with spiritual maturity in an environment that encourages movement beyond our current reality.

Next week, hungry University of Memphis stu-dents will be just one ‘like’ away from a free half-pound sub.
Starting Monday, any-one who ‘likes’ Lenny’s Sub Shop on Facebook will receive an e-mail within 24 hours with a coupon for a free sub. Those who already ‘like’ the page will also be able to get a coupon by fill-ing out a short form.
“We’re trying to get every-one with this promotion,” said Brent Alvord, president of Lenny’s Sub Shops. “We hope that once people try our sandwiches, they’ll fall in love with them and tell their friends.”
The company’s Facebook page currently has over 10,000 ‘likes,’ a number Alvord hopes will increase.
“I would like to see the overall fan base rise by thousands, if not by 10,000,”
Alvord said.Lenny’s is a Memphis-
based company with a loca-tion on Highland, near The U of M.
“Facebook was created in the college market and has a strong college following,” Alvord said. “We have a res-taurant right there next to The University of Memphis, and as word spreads about a free sandwich, no strings attached, I think people will start coming in.”
James Kelly, franchisee of the store by The U of M, said he thinks this promo-tion will be successful with students.
“We already offer a stand-ing 10 percent discount for University of Memphis stu-dents with an ID,” Kelly said. “This offer is great — all you have to do is ‘like’ a page, no strings attached.”
Kelly said with this pro-motion, he hopes to attract students from out of town who have not eaten at Lenny’s Sub Shop before.
“The goal is to expose the students, especially the ones not from here, to the qual-ity and local brand here in Lenny’s,” he said. “This is how we do it in Memphis.”
The deal, which ends Feb. 20, already has several U of M students interested.
“As long as it’s something simple, like you can just ‘like’ their Facebook page and get a voucher, then I think it’s a good idea,” said Corey Neal, sophomore computer engineering major. “I mean, I like subs.”
Neal said the timing of the deal struck him.
“It is kind of funny that they’re doing it on Valentine’s Day, though,” he said. “I mean, what better way to show your love for someone besides giving them a free half-pound sub?”
“I’m not much of a sand-wich person, but I’d probably still take advantage of it,” said Valerie Wilson, junior mar-keting major. “(I’m a) poor, hungry college student.”

For live music lovers itching for a fix before the Beale Street Music Festival in May, a day-long, 40-band festival Saturday might appease their cravings.
“Our Scene United,” a music event featuring the bands of several University of Memphis students, will rock The Arbor at Hope Presbyterian Church on Saturday from 9:20 a.m. to 11 p.m. The day’s performances feature local bands that encom-pass a wide variety of genres, from heavy metal to acoustic folk.
The festival is the brainchild of Won’t Look Back Booking founders Taylor Agee and Ryan
Gill, U of M senior organiza-tional leadership major. Won’t Look Back has brought well-known bands, including A Day To Remember, The Devil Wears Prada, Manchester Orchestra, Say Anything and Underoath, to the Memphis area since 2007.
Agee, a 2010 U of M gradu-ate, said he hopes to unite local bands at the festival and wants Memphis music lovers to come together.
“This show that we’re doing (tomorrow) for Our Scene United is poised to be our big-gest show ever,” he said. “It means a lot to all the bands playing.”
The goal of doing this, Agee said, is to appeal to people who
want to find out what kind of local bands Memphis has to offer.
“We want everything togeth-er in one show, all genres,” he said. “We’re hoping to get a bunch of new people out, and hopefully everyone will find at least something they like at the show.”
Agee said a lot of the bands headlining the event have the opportunity to be signed and make it big in the music world.
Metal band Here Lies Heart is one of those, Agee said.
Formed in 2009, Here Lies Heart mixes heavy, fast drum-beats with ambient and rough guitar riffs for its melod-ic sound. The band plans to release a six-song EP before February’s end.
“We like to have something everyone can appreciate even within one song,” said Austin Thomas, U of M sophomore geology major and the band’s guitarist. “Overall, we like to put a lot of emotion into our music.”
Thomas said Our Scene United is great way to go see seven shows all rolled into one.
“It’s like a fest,” he said. “Music all day for $10.”
Headlining the event is Tom Foolery, a four-piece pop-rock band that has played with nationally known bands We The Kings, Hey Monday and
The Cab.Tom Foolery bassist and U of
M sophomore Jared Stanfield said the goal of Tom Foolery’s music is to provide a positive and fun atmosphere for its lis-teners.
“It has an uplifting kind of tone to it,” the real estate major said. “Something that’s gener-ally accepted for anyone to lis-ten to.”
Stanfield said most shows stick to a certain genre, but “Our Scene United” combines a lot of local bands that would never play together.
“I’m looking forward to meeting a lot of bands I’ve never heard,” he said. “It’ll be cool to listen to a lot of new bands and a lot of cool music. I’m super stoked, and I plan on hanging out all day.”
Chris Ford, head of the Arbor’s show staff, said the Arbor holds up to 850 people standing and has been hosting shows for about two years.
Ford said Hope built the Arbor to provide a show venue that wasn’t in Downtown or Midtown.
“Our goal was to give kids a safer and closer environment,” he said.
The event will be organized into three continuous sessions. Bands will play from 9:20 a.m. to 3 p.m., and an acoustic ses-sion will begin afterward and last until 6:30 p.m. The remain-
ing bands will then plug back in and finish the show, playing until 11:00 p.m.
Ford said attendees of teh show will enjoy the variety of music.
“The reason it’s called Our Scene United is because we want everybody to come together and form one scene,” he said.
Ford said safety precautions will be observed, and anyone caught fighting will be kicked out.
“They do get a little rowdy,” he said of typical crowds at the venue. “But it’s controlled chaos.”
On the festival bill, bands that feature U of M students include Tom Foolery, Here Lies Heart, the Summers, Never Forgotten, Revolution, Constellations, Lake Effect Kid and Shallow Waters.
A $10 cover charge for the festival can be purchased at the door or in advance from mem-bers of participating bands. All ages are welcome, and audi-ence members who buy tickets in advance will be entered to win a $150 door prize.
U of M students who come will hear something they like, Tom Foolery’s Stanfield said.
“Maybe you like Tom Foolery. Maybe you don’t, but there’s definitely going to be a band for you,” he said. “There are genres all over the board.”
Snow shut down The University of Memphis on Wednesday afternoon and all day Thursday, but Basketball Homecoming queen candidate Stephanie Claybourne didn’t let it shut down her campaign.
Claybourne, senior inte-grative studies major, sent an 85-word e-mail promoting her candidacy to nearly every stu-dent at The U of M on Thursday morning.
The e-mail said, “Plz tella friend to tella friend to vote for STEPHANIE CLAYBOURNE,” and it also added, “Who’s better to represent than a member of your BLUE CREW!?!”
Claybourne said she sent the message to approximately 65 students at a time, and the entire process took more than
eight hours. She said she has spent a lot of time on campus campaigning, but the campus closings due to weather didn’t allow her to canvass as much as she’d like, so she decided to send the student body an e-mail.
Claybourne said she thought the mass e-mail was a way to reach more people but received mixed results.
“I got a few ugly responses from the e-mails,” she said. “All those things that have happened were in some ways discouraging.”
Students who have their University of Memphis e-mail account forwarded straight to their cell phones were alerted to the e-mail between midnight and 5 a.m. Thursday.
“I get my e-mails sent to my phone, and it woke me up out of my sleep. Therefore,
she won’t receive a vote from me, and I won’t ‘tella friend,’” junior information technology major Michelle April said in a Facebook post.
Claybourne said she thought about how people react to a ran-dom e-mail from someone they don’t know before she sent hers. She said she was aware some people would think it was spam but decided that “the ability to say, ‘Hey, I tried,’ is worth more than not trying at all.”
“I want to show everybody if you really want something, you have to go all-in to get it,” Claybourne said. “You may not get everything you are seeking, but you will get nothing with-out trying.”
Her other campaigning tech-niques have also garnered both positive and negative reviews, she said.
Claybourne said she got
funny looks from some peo-ple when she walked around campus handing out flyers, and some students said they didn’t even know it was homecoming week.
“I had one person tell me this whole thing (homecoming) was a waste of time,” she said.
Homecoming king candidate Tyler Ricossa, senior logistics and supply chain management major, said he was surprised and shocked when he received Claybourne’s e-mail at about midnight and doesn’t share Claybourne’s cam-paigning views.
“I feel that the entire point of Basketball Homecoming is for students to be able to support Tiger athletics and show their Tiger Pride,” he said.
Some students said they would have voted for Claybourne because of her dedi-cation to campaigning, but the
grammar she used in the e-mail caused them to think otherwise.
“I would have voted for her based on persistence and inge-nuity until she used the word ‘TELLA,’” Jackie Hicks, sopho-more nursing and biology major, wrote in a Facebook post. “I absolutely DESPISE words like that … TELLA, HOLLA, BRUH, AYE, MANE, JUNT.”
Artice Carter, sophomore nonprofit development and administration major, said can-didates should have been cam-paigning sooner.
“Thanks for the e-mail, Steph — you were late though. I already voted,” Carter said.
Junior exercise and sports sci-ence major Samantha Fong said she too had already voted.
“I didn’t vote for (Claybourne). I had already voted when I voted for Tyler (Ricossa) like a few days ago,” she said.
student, is in his second year performing for Valentine’s Day. He said he enjoyed playing for couples last year, which is why he decided to do it again.
He said that it also helps tuba players everywhere.
“It gets the tuba, which is not that well-known of an instru-ment, some recognition and helps raise funds for the associa-tion,” Pelon said.
He said the group played for President Shirley Raines last year.
Mark Bonner, junior music education major, said playing for Raines was the high point of last year’s performances.
“It was my first time meeting her,” Bonner said. “She was nice and excited to hear us play.”
He said that last year was the first year they pre-sold tickets, and they moved more than half of the 40 slots available.
Bonner has participated in the fundraiser since it began and said that if he had to, he would do it for free.
“It’s fun,” he said. “Seeing the faces on the significant others is awesome.”
Bonner’s most memorable moment came when he decided to get the quartet together to play the tuba for his girlfriend his freshman year.
“She enjoyed it a lot and was embarrassed, but I am sure she will remember it forever,” he said.
And, Bonner said, they’re still together.

noon.“It is unfortunate the weath-
er affected this event,” Van Dyck-Laumann said. “It is not likely that we will be able to offer such an opportunity in the near future. The presenters were attending a conference in Memphis, so we took advan-tage of their trip here to have them talk to our students and faculty about the Fulbright and Gilman scholarships.”
Other events planned for Thursday were more easily
moved to another day.Black Scholars Unlimited
had planned to host “Dollar for a Stack” in the University Center atrium. Students could guess how much money was in a jar, and whoever guessed correctly would win the money.
The event, a fundraiser for a Great Pretenders benefit con-cert for the Ronald McDonald House charity, was ultimately rescheduled for Monday and Tuesday.
“It kind of was (inconve-nient) because we told those who guessed (the amount of money in the jar) that we would
e-mail the winner on Friday,” said junior international busi-ness major Ciara Arrington, BSU’s activities committee chair. “However, I can under-stand that the weather did (have) a major impact on the decision of The University’s closing.”
Several registered student organization meetings were canceled due to weather, as well as a rehearsal for the Miss Black and Gold Pageant and The University of Memphis Wind Ensemble concert, origi-nally scheduled for Thursday night.

Republicans on the House of Representatives energy committee on Wednesday aired their proposal to block the Environmental Protection Agency from reducing green-house gases and to reverse the agency’s scientific finding that climate change is dangerous.
While the plan might be blocked in the Senate or vetoed by President Barack Obama, the comments during Wednesday’s hearing were a fresh indica-tion of the depth of opposi-tion in Congress to action on reducing U.S. carbon pollution. Supporters of the measure to revise the Clean Air Act to take away the EPA’s authority to regulate this type of pollution said that curbing emissions would be too costly.
The EPA’s planned regula-tions “would boost the cost of energy, not just for hom-eowners and car owners, but for businesses both large and small,” said Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., the author of the leg-islation. “EPA may be starting by regulating only the largest power plants and factories, but we will all feel the impact of higher prices and fewer jobs.”
The EPA’s main plan so far is to write regulations that would set standards for heat-trapping gases emitted by new or upgraded power plants and refineries. The standards would be met mainly through effi-ciency improvements.
Congressional opponents of EPA action haven’t offered an alternative plan to cut emissions.
EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson testified that the agen-cy would estimate the costs after it wrote the regulations. The Clean Air Act requires the agency to show that its plans are cost-effective and techno-logically feasible.
Jackson said Congress would be wrong to overturn the EPA’s 2009 “endangerment finding” that greenhouse gases are a threat to American health and welfare.
“Politicians overruling scien-tists on a scientific question — that would become part of this committee’s legacy,” she said.
She cited the National Academy of Sciences, the gov-ernment’s chief science advi-sory body, which has reported that “there is a strong, cred-ible body of evidence, based on multiple lines of research, documenting that the climate is
changing and that these chang-es are in large part caused by human activities.”
Scientific organizations have said in recent years that global temperatures are rising as a result of the accumulation of heat-trapping gases, mostly from fossil fuel use, and that the risks to the planet will increase if these emissions aren’t cut.
Upton has said that global temperatures may be rising but he’s not convinced that human actions are the cause.
The Supreme Court ruled in 2007 that the EPA must regulate greenhouse gases under the law if it found they endangered human health and welfare.
Then-EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson recommended in a letter to President George W. Bush in 2008 that the admin-istration impose curbs similar to the ones the agency now plans.
“The latest science of climate change requires the agency to propose a positive endanger-ment finding,” Johnson wrote. Committee Democrats released his letter Tuesday.
The Bush administration in the end rejected greenhouse gas regulations and didn’t allow the EPA to make its endanger-ment finding public.

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak refused to step down Thursday but said in a nation-ally televised speech that he would hand more authority to his vice president, a move that drew rage and bewilderment from hundreds of thousands of protesters packed into Cairo’s Tahrir Square.
The nation was anticipating an address that would mark the end of Mubarak’s 30 years in power but instead was told he was going nowhere. Protesters shouted “leave, leave,” and chants of disapproval echoed across the Nile at the prospect that the 17-day standoff with the government was not over.
“For the benefit of this coun-try, I have decided to assign the tasks of the president to the vice president, according to the constitution,” he said.
Mubarak spoke like a leader aloof from the demands of mil-lions of his people and increas-ing pressure from the United States and other Western pow-ers. He said his government would work on constitutional reform, punishing abusive security forces and preparing a transfer of power leading to September elections.
None of that satisfied pro-testers whose central goal is for the 82-year-old former air force commander to leave office.
Delegating more authority to Vice President Omar Suleiman was viewed by many demon-strators as keeping intact the vestiges of Mubarak’s ruling establishment. Mubarak did not make clear what duties Suleiman — the country’s for-mer intelligence chief and one of his confidants — would assume.
Hours before the speech, a senior army commander appeared in Tahrir Square and told protesters that all their demands would be met. Their rallying point has been Mubarak’s removal from office. It was later announced that the president would be addressing the country. A mood of celebra-tion settled over the square.
But after the speech, Tahrir filled with chants of “Down, down with Mubarak!”
The announcement came after two days of warnings by top Egyptian officials, includ-ing Suleiman, 74, that the army might stage a coup if protests didn’t stop.
Mubarak came to power in 1981 upon the assassina-tion of his predecessor, Anwar Sadat, by Islamic militants. He imposed a state of emer-gency throughout his three-decade-rule and used his rul-ing party and security forces to crush political opposition, winning re-election repeatedly in balloting that was widely condemned internationally as fraud-ridden.
If Mubarak’s rule ends, it would reverberate across the Middle East, where protests and unrest in recent weeks have engulfed Yemen, Jordan and Algeria. It would mark the end of an era and leave the region without one of its most prominent leaders and a trusted U.S. ally.

For University of Memphis students without health insur-ance, the Church Health Center on Peabody Avenue has fit the bill for more than two decades.
“As a full-time student and part-time employee at The U of M, I didn’t make enough money to afford the college’s health insurance plan,” U of M alumna Beth Spencer said. “So whenever
I had a scratchy throat or uncon-trollable cough, the CHC was there to help me out.”
The CHC has provided health care at minimal costs to unin-sured citizens of Shelby County since 1987. To be a patient at the CHC, you must prove that you are employed, uninsured and a resident of Shelby County. Men must work 30 hours per week, and women must work 20 hours per week.
Jeff Hulett, spokesperson for CHC, said the main goal of his
organization is to help the peo-ple of Shelby County maintain a healthy lifestyle.
“People are still thinking we are just a clinic for the unin-sured,” Hulett said. “What they don’t know is that we have a comprehensive wellness center with amenities you’d find at the YMCA.”
Those amenities include cook-ing classes, a nutrition kitchen, a child care area and a heated pool. The latest addition to CHC is an 80,000 square foot gymnasium,
one he hopes will attract plenty of people, Hulett said.
“Our gym has no mirrors as well as a strict code,” Hulett said. “We want people to feel comfortable about working out. There is also a spiritual element there if people want it.”
Alexandra Burnett, unde-cided freshman, said the CHC was one of the first things she looked up when she moved to Memphis.
“I wanted to make sure I’d have somewhere to go if I got
sick, and it turns out I became a patient just a couple months after I moved here,” Burnett said.
The new programs offered by the CHC don’t come with a cost increase, Hulett said. Spencer said the CHC made her strive to live a healthy lifestyle.
“It encouraged me to take extremely good care of myself so I wouldn’t get sick,” she said. “They have tons of amazing workout programs and even a cooking class that encouraged me to live better.”

An inspirational speaker, author and founder of the national Quality Foods for Everyone Program, Chet Sisk is coming to The University of Memphis to raise “food conscious-ness” in Tennessee.
Sisk will speak in the University Center Fountain View Room on Friday, Feb. 18.
His speech, “Food Fight: How to Bridge the Food Divide Before Things Get Really Ugly,” will address the problem of the many urban areas considered “food des-erts,” places lacking access to fresh food. Memphis has several, he said.
Sisk said the Quality Foods for Everyone program aims to bring
an oasis to food deserts around the country by partnering with Whole Foods Market to provide fresh, healthy food to homeless shelters nationwide.
“When people donate food to shelters, it’s the worst food you can think of — food in cans, maca-roni and cheese in a box, “ he said. “People were donating the food and saying, ‘If I don’t eat it, some-body will.’”
People with poor immune sys-tems are being fed bad food, which can worsen health complications such as diabetes and heart disease, Sick said..
“So I went to Whole Foods and said, ‘Help us do better,’” he said. “This is social entrepreneurship. It’s an organization dedicated to getting
info out.”Sisk’s latest book, “Think This,
Not That,” focuses on conventional wisdom, food and food deserts.
He said for every book sold, $2 goes to homeless shelters around the country. As the food for the shelters is bought wholesale, even $2 goes a long way, he said.
“I want to increase food con-sciousness and get people to stop and say, ‘What am I putting in my mouth, and how is this going to affect the quality of my life?,” Sisk said.
Kenneth Reardon, professor and director of the city and regional plan-ning department, said Memphis has a serious problem with food access and security and that he is very excited about Sisk’s ideas.
“The state of Tennessee is the 46th healthiest in the nation, and Memphis is one of the major reasons the state’s overall health profile is so bad,” he said. “Look at the problems we face in South Memphis. In some parts of that area, there is not a full-service food store within two square miles, which presents a problem for families trying to gain access to fresh, affordable food items.”
Last summer, The University partnered with St. Andrew African Methodist Episcopal Church to create the South Memphis Revitalization Action Plan. Dozens of local organizations are now joined in the effort to complete community renewal, Reardon said.
“The program has a major health and wellness component, including
access to healthy food,” he said. “Last summer, The University assisted St. Andrew (in starting the) South Memphis Farmer’s Market, which attracted 200 shoppers per week when it opened. It was the first real access people (in the South Memphis area) had to fresh fruits and vegetables in more than two decades.”
Tom Mendina, assistant to the dean of University Libraries, helped coordinate Sisk’s visit and said he hopes the program enhances stu-dents’ awareness of the city that surrounds them.
“Food is pretty basic,” he said. “I think that students, in their line of inquiry and concern and hopefully involvement in social issues, would be concerned.”

The Tigers have a late open date Nov. 5 and return to action Nov. 12 in the annual Battle for the Bones game against UAB.
The U of M closes out its regular season schedule Nov. 26 in the 61st Black and Blue Bowl against Southern Miss.
Six of the 12 teams on the Tigers’ 2011-’12 schedule par-ticipated in bowl games last season.
“This is a quality schedule filled with quality opponents that will hopefully give us a number of opportunities for national exposure on television,” U of M coach Larry Porter said.
C-USA, which opted not to renew its contract with ESPN, is entering the first year of a new television deal with Fox Sports Networks. The league’s games will be broadcast on FOX Sports, which is available in over 115 million households nationwide, and FX.

Growing up in Memphis is hard.
It’s grimy. It’s rough. It’s cutthroat. The inner city has regressed into urban decay.
Playing college basketball in Memphis is even harder.
Freshman starting point guard Joe Jackson is doing both. And he’s struggling. Who can fault him, really? Sure, he was a five-star prospect out of White Station High School, but a scouting ser-vice can’t evaluate responsibility.
The University of Memphis basketball program isn’t just a sport — it’s a beacon of light. It’s a glimmer of hope. When The U of M basketball team wins, so does the city.
The Tigers (18-6, 6-3 Conference USA) give the hap-less Memphis community some-thing to believe in.
When Jackson signed to play for Memphis last year, it meant much more than the end to a McDonald’s All-American’s recruitment. It was almost a realization of a civic duty.
Jackson isn’t the only Memphis native on the roster. Freshmen Tarik Black and Chris Crawford also grew up here.
But Jackson is the city’s prod-igal son. He’s highly talented.
He’s the self-proclaimed “King of Memphis.”
So, on the court, the Orange Mound native doesn’t just hear the whispers of fans. In the crowds at FedExForum looking on are Jackson’s neighbors, his childhood friends, former teach-ers, former coaches and, most importantly, his family.
They all want to see him suc-ceed. He wants to succeed for them. But the pressure from his
peers can be overbearing, and right now, the 5-foot-11 Jackson is having trouble shouldering the load.
Jackson is learning a new position. He wasn’t a true point guard in high school. He’s being faced with decisions he’s never really had to make before. The guy behind him on the depth chart, freshman Antonio Barton, happens to be pretty good.
Sometimes, Jackson shows why he was so heralded out of high school. He breaks presses effortlessly. He gets to the rim whenever he feels like it. In the Tigers’ 76-75 win at Southern Miss on Jan. 19, Jackson deliv-ered the assist to junior Charles
Carmouche for the game-win-ning 3-pointer.
Other times, he passes when he should shoot. He shoots when he should pass. He turns the ball over too much.
In the last two games, Jackson, who was known for his prolific scoring in high school, was scoreless. His minutes have dipped drastically.
“It’s (about) patience,” Jackson said. “I’ve just got
to keep pushing through.”
U of M coach Josh Pastner is cer-tainly being patient with Jackson.
He’s the only player on the ros-ter who has started in all 25 games this season. Even with the recent playing
time reduction, Jackson is still fourth on the team in minutes played, with 23.8 per game.
“I’m a big believer in Joe Jackson. He’s going to be a great Tiger, a terrific Tiger, when it’s all said and done,” Pastner said. “He maybe hasn’t played to the best of his ability, but that’s part of it. He has gotten so much bet-ter from where he started.”
The biggest challenge for the freshman isn’t making a crisp pass or reading defenses. That stuff comes easy for Jackson. It’s himself. See, Jackson’s struggles don’t exist on the court in the form of a defender who thinks he can exploit his size. He feeds off that.
Everything is mental for Jackson. He’s his own worst enemy. He has to realize that he can’t save his team or city alone.
But that’s exactly why he’s got teammates like Tarik Black. What was the first thing Black did the morning after the thrill-er of a road win against Central Florida on Wednesday? He went to Jackson’s room. He con-soled him, and that’s because Black understands what Jackson is going through. The big man struggled, just like Jackson, ear-lier in the season.
While Black was in a slump, he talked to his older brother. So now, while Jackson is going through one of his own, Black’s guiding him through it.
“I’m here for him. I’m going to continue to talk to him, stay in his ear,” Black said. “To see him walk in his room everyday lately and just be down, kind of, it just hurts me. But I have to continue to be a brother to him and just help him through.”
Jackson will get through. The jump shots will start to fall for the city‘s favorite son. He’ll learn how to run the offense. His decision-making will improve. He’ll master the art of drawing a block instead of being called for a charge. He’ll stop making errant passes. He’ll hurdle the mental blocks.
And, ultimately, he’ll make his fans — his fellow Memphians — proud.
“It’s just a matter of God turning the corner for (me), you know,” Jackson said.
A matter of God and time.

Despite his struggles recently, U of M coach Josh Pastner is committed to keeping freshman Joe Jackson as his starting point guard. Jackson is averaging 9.5 points and 3.7 assists but leads the team in turnovers with 3.5 per game.

u of M releases rosterfor 2011-’12 conference BY JOHN MARTINSports Editor

Clashes erupted Wednesday and continued Thursday between a breakaway com-mander and the former rebel military of Southern Sudan, kill-ing at least 16 people and end-ing a key cease-fire just months before the war-torn region is set to emerge as the world’s newest nation.
The Jan. 5 agreement signed between the Southern Sudan army and rebel George Athor helped pave the way for the undeveloped region’s peaceful referendum on independence Jan. 9-15. Southern Sudan is set for nationhood in July after 99 percent voted in favor of separa-tion. Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir certified the result Monday.
“The cease-fire is now bro-ken,” said Philip Aguer, a spokesman for the Southern Sudan military, the Sudan People’s Liberation Army.
The referendum was the core part of a 2005 U.S.-brokered peace deal between Sudan’s Arab government in the north and the Sudan People’s Liberation Army, ending decades of con-flict between the regions that killed 2 million people.
Athor, a former Sudan People’s Liberation Army chief of staff, took up arms against Sudan’s southern government in Juba after a failed guberna-torial bid in April 2010 elec-tions, claiming that the poll was rigged. Two lesser-known militia leaders launched sep-arate uprisings at the same time. None have been fully squelched.
In the run-up to the refer-endum, Salva Kiir, the leader of Southern Sudan, granted Athor amnesty, which culmi-nated in the cease-fire deal last month just days before the polls opened.
On Wednesday, Athor’s men attacked the towns of Dor and Fangak in Southern Sudan’s Jonglei state, Aguer said; four southern soldiers and 12 of Athor’s men were killed. Athor also planted land mines along a road in the area that deto-nated on two Sudan People’s Liberation Army vehicles, Aguer said.
Fangak had been captured, but the southern army retook it. Fighting continued Thursday.
“We are still waiting for the number of casualties today. But there are casualties,” Aguer said Thursday.
Athor denied being the aggressor, telling the Sudan Tribune website Wednesday that the southern army attacked him first. The renegade com-mander is known for giving highly inflated casualty figures for the southern army when he’s talking to the news media.
More than a dozen civilians have been confirmed dead from the fighting in Fangak, accord-ing to Boutros Rwai, the head of a local human rights group and a native of the area. Athor’s
men attacked the town without provocation, he said.
The renewed fighting between Athor and the southern army is the latest in a wave of violence to hit the region in the past week, putting a damper on the otherwise celebratory mood after the announcement of the referendum results.
On Wednesday, a junior min-ister in the Southern Sudan gov-ernment was assassinated in his office in what appeared to be a family dispute.
Last week, a series of muti-nies among southerners in the northern army across the south’s Upper Nile state killed 60, accord-ing to the state government.

Redshirt freshman guard Bilqis Abdul-Qaadir led the Tigers in scoring with 12, and
sophomore forward Nicole Dickson added 11. Senior forward Savannah Ellis and junior guard Ramses Lonlack each scored 10 points. Ellis also recorded a career-high four blocks.
Redshirt junior post Jasmine Lee pulled down a team-high 10 rebounds as the Tigers out-rebounded Tulsa, 42-40.
With the win, the Tigers moved to 12 games above .500 for the first time since 2004.
The Tigers will take on the Rice Owls at the Elma Neal Roane Fieldhouse at 2 p.m. Sunday.
