BY JOSEPH RUSSELL Sports Editor After months of city-wide excitement and speculation, The University of Memphis men’s basketball team finally took the court this week as part of a 10-day practice period before they leave for a two-game exhibition trip to The Bahamas later this month. Instead of installing an offense this early in the season, second-year coach Josh Pastner said he will use his limited window for practice opportunity to emphasize the focus for this season — defense and rebounding. “I want to make sure that the mindset and the emphasis we need for this season is on the defensive end and on the glass,” he said. “I think, based on our personnel, we’re going to have an opportunity to score. Whether that’s through offensive rebounding or transition, we’re not even going to be able to do that if we don’t defend, get stops and rebound the ball.” That way, Pastner added, he
and his staff will be able to evaluate where each player works best and make switches without committing to an offensive system. “We’ll be able to adjust and see what fits our personnel,” he said. “These two weeks will allow us to play around with some things, maybe make a mistake or two and see what we like, then we can make some shifts. Then by October or November, hopefully we’ll be where we want to be.” After spending most of last season simply trying to get by with just eight scholarship players, Pastner has already seen a breath of fresh air in his second season. Although the Tigers lost leading scorer Elliot Williams to the NBA Draft and sharpshooter Roburt Sallie to a transfer request, this year’s squad is easily deeper and more talented than anything Pastner had to work with a year ago. But even with so many improvements to the roster, the Tigers are still a very inexperienced group as a whole and
must work eight newcomers — seven of which are freshmen — into the team’s rotation. That’s why Pastner chose to take the trip to The Bahamas this year. Every school is allowed a foreign trip once every four years, per NCAA rules, and by taking advantage of the opportunity, The U of M will have a chance to get the early practices in before the season begins. “It’s an opportunity for all the guys to get a lot of work in,” Pastner said. “We want to take full advantage of the 10 days of practice. That will give us an indication of where we are heading into the Fall.” Although he admitted that the two games ultimately mean nothing and that the main purpose for the trip was the early practice period, Pastner said the trip is still important for the team’s bonding. But they still have to produce on the court. “The talent we have is through the roof but it won’t

Tigers focus on defense, rebounding before trip
After The U of M’s first practice Monday, senior forward Will Coleman said for the Tigers to be successful this year, they “have to guard, rebound and block shots.”

Non-profit, desperately seeking signatures BY MEGAN HARRIS Editor-In-Chief
n Tyler said ARIZE needs volunteers to help gather 100,000 petition signatures supporting draft legislation that could grant as much as $500,000 to get the organization up and on the web no later than Aug. 28. Persons interested in helping are invited to learn more by attending a free entertainment event tonight at 7:30 at Mary’s Memphis, 405 N. Cleveland St., across from the old Sears Tower.
At 44 years of age, University of Memphis senior Betty Tyler said she never planned to be in the public eye. “This wasn’t my dream, but there’s only so much you can stand before you realize someone needs to stand up,” she said. “Someone had to say something.” The married mother of three created a business plan for a non-profit organization, ARIZE, seeking to help disabled, disadvantaged and disenfranchised Memphians develop the necessary skills to become more selfsufficient. And then she created a major to help her do it. Through the University College, Tyler built a social wellness major where she said she
was able to combine paralegal studies with practical educational courses designed toward helping her company as well as herself. Potential future endeavors could include participation in film documentaries, partnerships with the National Civil Rights Museum, taking audio recordings of civil rights leaders and their stories and art and music festivals. Dubbed by Tyler as a 21st century civil rights movement, the project began after she was injured on the job several years ago. She said it was her hospice care who helped to encourage her to pursue her goal. “I could see there would not be a solution to stop the murder of black men in the city of Memphis,” Tyler said. “It isn’t about jail time or rehabilitation;

You have to educate and empower the people to make good choices.” Tyler said knowledge of the law is key. “If you know the laws of the land, you’re much more likely not to break them,” she said. “You’d be shocked to know how many laws the City of Memphis has on the books that most people don’t realize are there.” To fund the group, Tyler said she’s hoping to acquire federal foundation grants. Tyler said Congressman Steve Cohen, up for re-election Nov. 2 against former Memphis mayor Willie Herenton, recently expressed his support of draft legislation that will encourage private funding for various social wellness programs, including legal sessions at com-

Cohen could not be reached for comment. “It’s her perseverance that’s going to make the greatest difference,” said supporter and local physician Richard Starr Cheshire. Cheshire, who’s known Tyler for nearly four years, said he plans to be involved in small community projects in the near future. Past and present Civil Rights leaders have also been pegged for assistance. Tyler said it was the words of Rev. Bernice King, daughter of the late Martin Luther King Jr., that continue to give her strength. “I’d been trying to find the words to express our situation and she stopped me. [King] said, ‘We are all Kings. Take the charge.’ From then on, I knew I couldn’t back down.”

Film Review
‘Step Up,’ then walk right out “Step Up 3D” is, in one significant respect, a step up. That is, in contrast to the recent spate of post-production 3-D conversions (see “The Last Airbender,” see “Clash of the Titans”), this one actually looks good. Conceived and shot as a 3-D dance spectacle, with specialized cameras and technology, the film has dancers spinning and bobbing, popping and locking, jumping off of the screen. There’s even a Busby Berkeley-inspired number where the point-of-view goes overhead, capturing a crew of street dancers spinning crazily below. The images are vivid, the actors (if you want to call them that) stand out (none of those fuzzy dimensional shadows) and there are cool stereocopic effects, like the spray from an Icee straw sending a stream of giant, artificially-colored bubbles out into the audience. That’s the good news. The bad news: This second

mean a thing if we all can’t play together,” said returning senior forward Will Coleman. “We can talk about it and we can play around about it off the court, but if we can’t play as a team, we’re going to get beat.” Coleman, who finished last season as The U of M’s only true big man and led the team with 6.2 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game, emphasized the importance of having the early practice period before the trip. “If we go down to The Bahamas without a practice, we’re just running around the court like chickens with their heads cut off,” he said. “These practices will be great to get a feel for everyone, everyone’s game and how they play.” And even if the games mean nothing in the end, Coleman has

a mindset all of his own. “I’m playing every game like it’s my last,” he said. “I hope everybody else feels the same way because we have a really talented team this year. We can do a lot of thngs this year and go real far, so I hope everyone takes it as serious as I’m taking it.” With one of the nation’s top recruiting classes coming to The U of M — and perhaps even Coleman’s guarantee of a 2011 national title after losing to Ole Miss in the NIT last season — the Tigers know the bull’s eye is once again on their backs. “There’s a chip on your shoulder that everybody’s coming after you,” said 6-foot-6 freshman guard Jelan Kendrick. “You’ve just got to play your game and play hard and come out with a strong tenacity to win. We’re going to do things that a lot of teams don’t do and we’re going to take it to the max every time.”
In addition to adding tremendous talent, said junior forward Wesley Witherspoon, now there’s competition from the bench to continue performing at a high level. “Now there’s a whole lot more pressure on us,” he said. “Now you can’t give up that precious turnover or you can’t make that bad (choice) or not dive on the ground for that 50-50 ball. Because there’s a guy on the bench who’s willing to do what you won’t do.” One of those categories that stands to see improvement is rebounding, which is where the Tigers often suffered last year due to a lack of size on the front line. By adding several players athletic enough to go and get rebounds almost at will, The U of M’s production on the glass has changed right away. “I look at it as motivation,” said Coleman. “We have (Tarik) Black, we have Hippo (Tsafack),
A Weekly Devotional For You Live Now for Old Age Not everyone who reads this is young, but most of you are. Youth and young adulthood should be among the most wonderful and enjoyable periods of your life. You are probably in better health and have more energy than you will as you grow older. You are mentally sharp and seem to have an unlimited future before you. It is tempting to think that you can engage in any kind of activity you wish with impunity. Now is the time to get all the “gusto” you can, before you have to settle down to adult responsibilities. At this time of life, it would be well to listen carefully to one of the wisest men who ever lived. Solomon wrote in Ecclesiastes 12:1, “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them…” Then he went on to describe these “evil days” as the days of old age which are usually accompanied by declining health and severely limited physical abilities. How sad it is to see those who have come to old age with many regrets because of misbehavior in their youth. The liabilities of old age can be greatly alleviated by having a good conscience. Whether or not you realize it, you are now preparing for old age. Prepare well!

proves adept at moonwalks and break-dances — and even tangos and tap — not a one displays anything even closely approximating charisma. Moving from Baltimore, site of the first two Step Ups, to New York, and foisting the first sequel’s nebbish-y teenage sidekick, Moose (Adam G. Sevani) into a lead role, “Step Up 3D” is essentially a series of big, busy production numbers beaded together with cheesy melodrama and scenarios out of “Rent.” It’s also one long commercial for NYU, the school where Moose and his childhood pal Camille (Alyson Stoner) are now wideeyed enrollees. Luke (Rick Malambri) is a sensitive filmmaker and dancer who hosts a “pseudo family” of misfit hoofers in his sprawling Brooklyn loft — a loft that evil bankers are planning to foreclose on. Natalie (Sharni Vinson) is a lithe and limber sensitive gal who claims to be broke, and to whom Luke offers a bed and some Urban Outfitters furnishings. Luke’s gang, dubbed the
Pirates, is gearing up for the World Jam, an epic dance-off with a cash prize that could help with those pesky mortgage payments, and which would give ‘em their moment of So You Think You Can Dance glory. The Pirates’ arch-enemies: the Samurai, a rival gang of dancers led by the sneering Julien (Joe Slaughter). To tracks by T-Pain and Jay-Z, MIMS and Major Lazer, the Roots and Rye Rye (and some Bach and Benatar thrown in for good measure), the various dancers dance, and the various conflicts play out. Luke and Natalie look good until Natalie does something bad. Moose and Camille look good until Moose fails to show for the Halloween party — he and Camille were going as the Olsen Twins. Aimed at teens and tweens, the almost-squeaky-clean “Step Up 3D” shamelessly piles on the corn, stacking it so high that it’s bound to tilt over and collapse. But at least it goes tumbling down in three dimensions. And the dancers go tumbling along with it, tumbling right at ya.
we have Angel (Garcia), Wesley (Witherspoon), Will Barton. Everybody will be a great asset to the rebounding category. It feels good knowing I have help and everybody has each other’s backs.” And since that seems to be the point of The U of M’s trip to The Bahamas — having each other’s backs — the Tigers may very well be ahead of schedule. “We’re like brothers, actually” said freshman forward
Tarik Black. “It surprised me how quick it was, too. Usually it takes some time to mesh, but we all formed a bond immediately.” With that issue taken care of, there may even be room for venturing away from the basketball court. “I’ve never been to The Bahamas,” said Black. “I hear it’s a beautiful place. If you go and don’t go sight-seeing, you’re missing out.”

Can’t wait for ‘Halo: Reach’? Try ‘Halo 2600’ BY BRIER DUDLEY The Seattle Times For a quick fix until “Halo: Reach” arrives on Sept. 14, take a look at “Halo 2600” (www.codemystics.com/halo2600/) — a free online version of the game, as if it were released for the Atari 2600. It’s the best thing since Google Pac-Man (www.google.com/pacman/). Ed Fries, the former head of Microsoft Game Studios, built the game as a hobby — partly to see if he could still build games on the platform that launched his career. Back in his high school days, Fries was given an Atari console for Christmas. It inspired him to

from page 1 made and Memphis police will not discuss whether they have a motive or suspects. Relatives and friends fought off tears as they addressed the crowd, still in disbelief at the way he died. Jeffrey L. Archie told the audience that he may never understand why someone would kill his brother. “To me he was invincible,” Archie said. “There’s no reason for anybody to take him like this.”
Halo 2600 Facebook page, the trick with Atari programming is that the machine only had “128
bytes of RAM and without bank switching the maximum program size is just over 4000 bytes.” Fries said he thought it will appeal mostly to the small community of Atari programming enthusiasts who stay in touch through sites like Atariage.com. “I thought these guys would care but probably no one else will,” he said in a phone interview. But “Halo 2600” is suddenly getting all sorts of attention, after being written up by most major gaming sites. So
far there are no plans to commercialize the game. How about putting in Xbox Live Arcade? “If they want to do it, they’re welcome,” Fries said. Fries isn’t too worried about being hassled by copyright lawyers from Microsoft or Bungie, the Kirkland studio that created the “Halo” franchise. He kept both in touch as the project evolved. He mentioned the game to Robbie Bach, Microsoft’s president of entertainment and devices, when they had coffee recently. “I gave him a chance to complain,” Fries said. “He just laughed and thought it was funny.”
ward Zach Randolph and former NBA player Damon Stoudemire also were there. Lorenzen Vern-Gagne Wright Sr. was born in Memphis but lived as a youth in Oxford, Miss. His mother and siblings moved to Memphis for his senior year in high school, and he became a star at Booker T. Washington High School. While growing up, Wright’s father, who was paralyzed after being shot in the spine, coached him on the basketball court and taught him to be a family man off the court. He then went to The University of Memphis, where he played two seasons and was an All-America selection after his sophomore year. The 6-foot-11 forward-center was drafted No. 7 in 1996 by the Los Angeles Clippers where he spent three seasons before moving onto the Atlanta Hawks, for two separate stints, Grizzlies, Sacramento Kings and most recently the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2008-09. He averaged 8 points
and 6.4 rebounds in 778 career NBA games, and also was known as a good defensive player. In March 2003, Wright’s 11-month-old daughter, Sierra, died of sudden infant death syndrome. Wright contributed to children’s charities, holding basketball camps, contributing to child reading programs and visiting St. Jude’s Children Research Hospital. “As loving as Lorenzen was, and he gave so much to so many people, if we can just come together and love each other instead of all this violence, it will be a much better world,” Herb Wright said after the service. As people mourned, police worked to find the killers. A 911 hang-up call from Wright’s cell phone in the early morning hours of July 19 has become a key piece of evidence in the investigation. The call was received by dispatchers in suburban Germantown, but they didn’t alert patrol officers
or commanders because they couldn’t confirm that it came from inside their jurisdiction. Top police officials in Germantown said they didn’t learn of the call until July 27 — eight days after it was made and five days after Wright’s family reported him missing. In the days he was missing, police said they didn’t expect foul play, and friends and family have accused authorities of dragging their feet. Bill Adkins, of the Greater Imani Church and Christian Center, appeared to reference the 911 call when he talked about how “a cry of help went unnoticed.” Memphis Mayor A C Wharton pledged to the family that justice will be served. “I want you to know that we are working day and night, not to see that things are done quickly, not to rush, but that things are done right and that justice will be done,” Wharton said. “That is our prayer.”
start programming, first in Basic and then assembly language. The breakout was a “Frogger” clone he made called “Froggy” that went viral, after he shared it with a few friends. In 1981, when Fries was a junior, a game publisher from California tracked him down and showed up with a contract offer. After doing a few other things since his 2004 retirement from Microsoft, Fries read “Racing the Beam,” a book about
programming for the Atari 2600 and started in on “Halo 2600.” As Fries explained on the
Memphis Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley said Wright had movie star looks with an infectious smile, and served as the team’s leader. Wright spent five of his 13 seasons in the NBA with the team from the city he was born. “We should all leave this hall with the thought that were going to do a little bit in Lorenzen’s honor to make sure things like this don’t happen again,” Heisley said. “That’s the biggest service you could pay him.” Wright’s six children and ex-wife were in the procession, trailed by his father, Herb Wright, who uses a wheelchair. Dozens of friends and family followed, stopping before a photo of Wright, then the casket. His mother, Deborah Wright, also attended. A litany of former NBA brethren paid their respects, including Memphis hero Penny Hardaway, Elliot Perry, Bonzi Wells and former Atlanta Hawks coach Mike Woodson. Current Grizzlies for-
