Ten years of empowerment Girl Talk Inc. celebrates decade of success Kelly Alley
Contributor
Ten years ago, UT alumnus Denetria Moore decided that young girls needed more voices in their corner. Now, her idea has become a reality through Girl Talk Inc., an organization with a mission to help girls from the ages of 9 through 18 increase their confidence and selfesteem. To celebrate their 10-year anniversary, Girl Talk Inc. launched the “Power of One” campaign on Nov. 1, 2016. The goal of the campaign is to highlight 100 women in 100 days, giving recognition to empowered women on Girl Talk Inc.’s website and Facebook page. “We are encouraging people to submit nominations of women who they know really embody the principles of Girl Talk,” Janea Peterson, UT alumnus and administrative and program assistant at Girl Talk Inc., said. “It’s recognizing women in the community that embody the mission and the values of Girl Talk.” The values the organization promotes include college and career readiness and self-esteem, and mentoring plays a major role in spreading that message. “There are a lot of children who don’t have a positive person to pour into them. Girl Talk brings together women t o pour

back into young girls,” Star Starks, a Girl Talk Inc. mentor, said. “To let them know that they don’t have to make the same mistakes that we’ve made –– or may not have made –– in order to become better women.” Starks is both a community-based and school-based mentor who began mentoring in August 2015. She hoped to teach young girls that it is okay to be who they are and to love themselves for that same reason. “There’s still bullying, and there’s still the issue of self-

esteem that girls continue to face. But there’s also cyberbullying now and more exposure to cellphones and TV, so it creates this image in their minds of what they need to be in order to be a woman,” Starks said. “I try to text the girls in the morning before they go to school, just to say, ‘I hope you have a wonderful day. Don’t let anything get you down.’” There are approximately 100 girls in the organization’s community-based and school-based programs, and girls and mentors meet once a month to do various activities, such as going to dinner and a movie. In the school-based program, currently active in 11 Knox County schools, mentors meet with girls after school for one hour per week for 10 weeks a semester. There is a waiting list for the community-based program based on the number of mentors available. Currently, the ratio of girls to a mentor is four to one, however, Girl Talk Inc. hopes to bring that ratio down to one girl per mentor. Mentors should be at least 21 years old, care about the girls, want to see them succeed and actually have the time. Volunteers are asked to commit at least one year to mentoring. “It’s not an extensive process, but it is volunteer(ing), so of course that’s a lot of time,” Peterson said.

Trump appoints controversial media mogul for cabinet position President-elect Donald J. Trump announced that Stephen Bannon, a media mogul and executive of Breitbart News, will be his chief strategist and senior counselor. The announcement of Bannon’s new position in Trump’s cabinet has caused a stir due to the controversial nature of Breitbart News. Bannon previously worked with Trump during his campaign and now will be a confidant for Trump. Critics of Trump’s decision state that Bannon’s hiring is a signal that Trump will follow through on some of his more controversial policy positions.

During a “60 Minutes” interview with Lesley Stahl, Donald Trump said he has heard reports of hate crimes and harassment toward minority groups and people with differing political opinions, and he demands that these terrible acts come to an end. Trump specifically said, “I will say this, and I will say right to the cameras: Stop it.” The topic was brought up due to an increase of approximately 200 reports to the Southern Poverty Law Center of anti-black, antiimmigrant and anti-muslim crimes since the election on Nov. 8.

‘Making a Murderer’ star’s nephew released from prison Brendan Dassey, nephew of Stephen Avery from the hit Netflix documentary “Making A Murderer,” was freed from jail on Nov. 14. Dassey was imprisoned following a confession admitting he had taken part in the murder of a young woman with his uncle Stephen Avery back in 2005. Avery and Dassey, who was 16 at the time, were sentenced to life in prison. However, Judge William Duffin ordered that Dassey could be freed under supervision until the next steps of the case could be cleared.

President-elect Trump demands supporters stop harassment
UT, along with three other universities, is receiving a five year $3.4 million grant from the National Science Foundation Innovation Corps (I-Corps) program to teach technology entrepreneurship, perform research and foster innovation. The National Science Foundation set up the I-Corps program in 2011 aiming to teach researchers how to evaluate the commercial value of their discoveries. The I-Corps program is made up of three components: I-Corps Teams, I-Corps Nodes and I-Corps Sites. I-Corps Teams are composed of a principal investigator, an entrepreneurial lead and a mentor. I-Corps Nodes were created to support regional needs for innovation education, infrastructure and research. I-Corps Sites nurture and support local teams as they take their technology to the marketplace. “I was familiar with the program while at University of Maryland, and it was a program I thought we could bring to Tennessee,” Rhonda Reger, professor of business administration and administer of the grant for UT, said. Georgia Tech is the original node for I-Corps South. Reger called them after speaking with people from the NSF about the grant and hearing that Georgia Tech was looking for partner schools.
Any opportunity to translate our discovery enterprise to benefit society, establish new ventures and support the economy is most welcome.” Taylor Eighmy, vice chancellor of research and engagement
I-Corps South now includes the Georgia Institute of Technology, University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa and Birmingham and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. “We are one of eight consortiums around the country, but the only one in the southeast,” Regar said. “From Louisiana to Florida and from Kentucky south is our territory, so geographically we are the largest consortium. We wrote the best proposal, and the four schools that put the proposal together were in the best position to implement their programs.” The I-Corps South increases the development of the south’s business environments and increases the chances of partnerships between academia and industry. They also hope to increase the number of startup companies in the southeast by providing courses designed to teach
young entrepreneurs how to take their technology into business. The award comes when entrepreneurial culture is beginning to grow. More than 100 startups are located in Knoxville, and this year Knoxville startup day successfully completed its third year. UT also has programs specifically for entrepreneurship, such as a degree program and the Boyd Venture Challenge, which lets students with an entrepreneurial venture compete for funds. “The university is very interested in advancing the innovation and entrepreneurship culture for our students and faculty,” Taylor Eighmy, the vice chancellor of research and engagement who will oversee UT’s part of the grant, said. “Any opportunity to translate our discovery enterprise to benefit society, establish new ventures and support the economy is most welcome.

Regal Entertainment provides scholarships to Knox County students Gabriela Szymanowska Contributor
Regal Entertainment provides more than just quality entertainment. Since 2010, they’ve been promoting quality education as well. The Regal Entertainment foundation invests $100,000 in scholarships to help 40 students — 10 freshmen, 10 sophomores, 10 juniors and 10 seniors — attend the University of Tennessee. “Regal strives to give back to the communities in which we live and operate,” Richard Grover, vice president of marketing and communications at Regal Entertainment Group, said. “We are fortunate that UT is in our hometown, and we recognize the importance of investing in the student’s academic future through the Regal Scholars program.” For Alexander Perry, senior in public relations and fourth-year regal scholar, receiving the scholarship took a weight off of his and his mother’s shoulders. “It’s a big deal. I don’t know if it would have been possible to go to college without it, in all honesty,” Perry said. Timothy Woods, associate director of the office of financial aid and scholarship, said for students to be eligible for the scholarship, they must meet certain criteria to be considered. Not
only must they be Knox County high school graduates, but they must also qualify for the Tennessee Pledge scholarship, a scholarship offered by UT. Some students, who receive the scholarship their freshman year, may receive the award multiple times afterwards--sometimes through all four years of college. Students who receive the scholarship share several characteristics, including being determined, having a good GPA and participating in clubs outside of academic courses. “I think they just want to see a well-rounded person, as far as who they give the scholarship to, to know that they are going to contribute to the community in different ways,” Perry said. “It’s really diverse.” Beyond just providing students with financial support, the Regal team is also very encouraging to the students who qualify. Annually, there is a reception held for Regal scholars where Regal employees and UT students gather together to get to know one another. “If they are chosen as a recipient of the award, we’ve had receptions with representatives from Regal Corporation, and the employees there are really invested in knowing information about the recipients,” Woods said. “They really want to learn about most students and their future plans.”

Economic support stems from Yemenis second country Since the first days of the coup by Houthis, Iranian militias have been living in south Yemen, along with the deposed president Saleh, against the legitimate in Yemen. Saudi Arabia has become the second largest residential country, housing more than 500,000 Yemenis and their families along with the Yemenis who have already lived there. They all have the right to work, study and get their health benefits. So, let’s just think intensely about this situation. Have you heard about all the help the government of Saudi Arabia provides for Yemenis in Saudi Arabia and in Yemen? Do you know the government of Saudi Arabia announces warnings before they carry out any attacks? In other words, they broadcast their war strategy for the public in order to minimize the harm. As human beings, our brains function clearly and they are difficult to manipulate. Therefore, here are some facts to help us to complete the puzzle.
The Saudi government has provided around $500 million as humanitarian relief aids to the Yemeni government and to Yemeni people in order to stablize the government system and reinstate the legitimate and more than $42 million for Yemeni refugees. As a result of that, Saudi Arabia has become the third largest donor for humanitarian assistance in the world. King Salman Relief Center in Yemen operates on three different projects: the nutriment relief, which focuses on children under the age of five years and pregnant women; the health emergency relief, which offers basic needs for emergency conditions; and the medical personnel and health facilities center, which provides health needs. They are currently covering over 1400 Yemenis. This health coverage is not restricted to Yemeni citizens. It is also given to Houthis, or Saudi Arabia’s enemies. So, that brings up the question of why the Saudi government is providing these entire humanitarian aids
for the country they are fighting with? The very obvious answer is the Saudi government has no interest in Yemen. Furthermore, the history of the relation between Saudi Arabia and Yemen is full of facts that show financial aid. Just before the war, Saudi Arabia donated more than $7 billion as economic support to Yemen. In theory, if Saudi Arabia stopped this war, who is going to step up and protect the Saudi borders? And who is going to protect the Yemeni territory from the Houthis violations? These questions have never been answered.

We should have learned by now to just listen
Jarrod Nelson Socialized
Let’s never forget it was our fault. Us, the millennials, liberals and college educated elites that stay in their white ivory towers and sneer and snicker at the teeming masses of good, decent people below. It was all our fault. We did this to America. After all, it was us that normalized Trump. By criticizing Mitt Romney and other Republicans for dog whistling, we made the massive anti-rape whistle that is Donald Trump seem like just another noise. We were just the boy who cried wolf, and once the wolf cried racist no one believed us. After all, it was us who just didn’t listen enough. Despite the fact that the number one obsession of the propagandistic lamestream media was to figure out who the Trump voter was and why the Trump voter was, what the Trump voter was, it was us that did not listen. Despite the fact that I saw no less than 100 pieces from “deep Trump country” and read all of them in full. Despite the fact that we all, by nature of our geography, interact with, socialize with and even love these people on a daily basis, it was our fault. We just did not listen to their plight. After all, it’s not like we have not been through that exact same plight. It’s not like
the crash, automation, outsourcing and low wages have not impacted us too. It’s not like thousands and thousands of college grads struggle to get a job, drown in student debt and barely keep their head above water without feeling the same kind of “economic anxiety” as the Trump voter. It’s not like there are thousands of working people in places like Memphis, Detroit and Baltimore who have faced the exact same hardships as the Trump voter and yet do not accept the blatantly racialized animus that comes forth from the mouth of a “savior.” It’s not like those are the voters, the people and the souls that have been historically disenfranchised and ignored by the government, society and all the people that are not forced to see them on a daily basis since they cannot afford a white flight to suburbia, where it’s just so clear that they have “their problems.” See, it’s the Trump voter that is maligned. No one cares about the Trump voter. After all, in the end, it’s not like we have absolutely no power over the fate of our country. It’s not like the average age of a congressman is 62. It’s not like any millennial can even hold public office yet. It’s not like our cynicism is not earned by the realities of an economy set up only to reward those
that have already won and ignore those that it makes too sick and small to speak. It’s not like we have been told all our lives that we are lazy, that we are entitled, that we are the absolute worst thing wrong in America despite having no say in what happens to America. No, the problem is that we, in our unearned and selfish cynicism, dared to get offended. We bit at the bone. We rang the bell. We heard the dog whistle all across this country and just had to acknowledge it. We should have just understood. We should have listened. But it’s okay now, because we can all come together. Yes, it was all our fault. The divisiveness, the anger and vitriol and the election are on us. But we can put that down now. They forgive us. It’s why we lost in the first place. There is just one problem with that though. There ain’t no rest for the wicked. And we ain’t tired just yet.

Arcade pentathlon draws competitive crowds Megan Patterson
Managing Editor This Thursday, Nov. 17, 32 foosball competitors will enter Harrogate’s arcade but only one will leave a champion. Thursday’s competition will mark the third night of the arcade pentathlon fundraiser to benefit WUTK 90.3 “The Rock” hosted by Yeehaw Brewing Company and Suttree’s High Gravity Tavern. Over five weeks and five competitions, participants will compete in skee ball, NBA Jam, foosball, pinball and Galaga, and a lucky few will even move on to the championship round. Charles Ellis, the Knox Area Sales Manager for Yeehaw Brewing Company, said that he and the owner of Suttree’s decided to host the pentathlon as a way to
advertise their own businesses while also helping out WUTK. Ellis said that this multipurpose event has led to a varied crowd. “It’s a pretty healthy mix. This past week was NBA Jam tournament, and there were definitely some guys who had been practicing in advance just to play in this tournament,” Ellis said. “Also, there’s people like me who are not going practice and just want to show up and have fun to help out 90.3.” In addition to the $10 registration fee for competitors, WUTK also receives a portion of beer sales on competition nights. “That’s a big rallying cry for a lot of our listeners,” Benny Smith, general manager and program director at WUTK, said. “They understand that they have to help us stay on the air; that we are not funded.” Although the weekly competitions max out at 32 participants, anyone can come and observe the games.
“People who are playing bring their friends, which is cool because that’s what the bar scene allows,” Smith said. Specialty show hosts from the radio station will act as MCs during the competitions, giving play-by-plays and commentary. There will also be raffle tickets for sale each competition night, and prizes include concert tickets, sports tickets, CDs, t-shirts and more. The Thursday night competitions began with skee ball on Nov. 8 and continued on Nov. 10 with NBA Jam. This Thursday, Nov. 17, will bring foosball players to the arcade. “We’re really expecting a big crowd for that because foosball players are pretty hardcore. There’s talk that a lot of folks are going to show up to prove they are the best foosball player in Knoxville,” Smith said. “So, bring it on.”
The tournament kicks back into gear after Thanksgiving with pinball on Dec. 1 and Galaga on Dec. 8. “The most level-playing field will be Galaga. There’s not really a good way to practice for it,” Ellis said. “It’s more, play if you will and may the best man win.” Winners from each individual competition will go to the championship, along with the top three aggregate scorers throughout the competitions. Smith said the champion will receive a prize, a trophy and “bragging rights, obviously.” “There’s a lot of trash talking that goes on,” Smith said. “That’s always fun.” Registration begins each night at 5 p.m. and remains open until the competition starts at 6:30 p.m. It costs $10 to register as a player, but admission is free for noncompetitors.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL
Vols Russell makes Navy walk the plank David Bradford Staff Writer
When Jordan Reynolds scanned over the box score like a point guard scanning a defense, her jaw dropped. She had no idea that Alexa Middleton had hit six three-pointers and scored a career-high 21 points. But while Middleton’s dazzling performance from beyond the arc electrified a Lady Vol fan base who had grown accustomed to the team’s outside shooting woes from a season ago, Mercedes Russell helped make it possible with her presence and physicality in the post. “She’s rebounding, and she’s solid on the defensive end,â€? Tennessee head coach Holly Warlick said. “We’re gonna try to get her the ball. She’s 6-foot-6 and has a big frame ‌ and one of the smartest players on our team ‌ She’s taking the physical part of the game and it’s not affecting her. Last year and her freshman year, she’d get bumped around. She’s not getting bumped around this year.â€? Russell shook off a much smaller Navy defense all afternoon long on her way to 18 points and 10 rebounds, her second doubledouble in as many games. In addition to stuffing the stat sheet, the attention Russell received through constant double-teaming helped lead to wide-open three-point shots. “I think it’s something (the double teams) that I have to embrace,â€? Russell said. “Our guards are starting to hit shots and hit open threes. That’s obviously gonna cause defenses to start getting out of the paint a little bit more.â€? Most of the former top recruit’s points came

from bumping and bruising her way to the free throw line, an area Russell set her sights on improving during the offseason. So far, mission accomplished, as the redshirt junior has converted on 17 of her 23 free throw attempts so far this season. Middleton sets career marks in red-hot shooting performance: Alexa Middleton’s 21 points led all scorers and her sharp-shooting set the tone for the Lady Vols’ 12-of-14 performance from beyond the arc. On the season, Middleton has drained 10 of her 11 three-point attempts. “I think it just comes from getting extra reps,â€? Middleton said. “Outside of practice, there’s been a lot of us getting in the gym ‌ I think it comes from trust and confidence in each other and in ourselves.â€? Middleton certainly had plenty to trust on Sunday afternoon, Nov. 13, as Diamond DeShields and Reynolds converted on all four of their three-point attempts, while Kortney Dunbar — the team’s leading three-point shooter from last season — also hit a late three, her first of the season. Tennessee and Navy display signs of respect: Both Tennessee and Navy donned gestures of respect toward one another on Sunday. The Lady Vols — following Veteran’s Day on Friday — wore Military appreciation t-shirts, while Navy honored the late Pat Summitt with “We Back Patâ€? t-shirts. “We have a lot of respect for the military and what they do for us,â€? Warlick said. “It’s what we want our team to be. We want to have that dedication, that honor, that passion, that purpose of what you do, and the Military does that. So we’re trying to get our kids to feel that as well ‌ They’re honoring Pat, and we’re honoring them. That’s the way it should be.â€?

Vols looking to lead in wins, not just stats Trenton Duffer
Sports Editor
Butch Jones is only worried about one stat for his team, and it’s not the amount of rushing yards allowed or the offensive production. It’s about wins. “We were able to get a win obviously, and now, we’re ready to move on,” Jones said on Monday. Moving on from a 49-36 win that nearly had Kentucky breaking a school record in rushing yards is easier said than done. The Wildcats had 443 rushing yards on Saturday and were just three yards short of breaking a rushing record that has stood for 65 years. “There’s a difference between giving up a lot of yards and being efficient,” defensive coordinator Bob Shoop said. “We’ll go eight, nine, 10, 11, Dylan Weisman, #71, was injured early in the game against Kentucky on Nov. 12, 12, 15 plays in a row where we’re really good and then give up enormous plays.” 2016. Alex Phillips • The Daily Beacon A few of those “enormous plays” Shoop mentioned include a 75-yard run to start the game followed by a 79-yard run by Benny Snell and a 72-yard rush by Siheim King later in the game. “We did what we had to do to win the game,” Shoop said. “We need to fit things up better. We need to tackle better.” Griffin to the Rescue: Todd Kelly Jr. went down with an injury against the Wildcats on Saturday, marking yet another Vol that has been bitten by the injury bug this year. But as Queen sang, the show must go on. Stephen Griffin came in for the injured Kelly Jr. and made an impact just three plays later. As Kentucky entered the red zone trailing 28-14, Griffin ran into the backfield and forced the ball out of Snell’s hands. LaTroy Lewis landed on the fumble, giving the Vols possession
of the ball within their own five-yard line. Tennessee scored just six plays later. Griffin has been a coach-favorite this offseason, but injuries have stopped the talented sophomore from seeing more playing time this season. “Stephen has been hampered by injuries all year,” Coach Jones said. “He just hasn’t been able to get healthy. But again, I give that young man credit. He worked and worked, and he said, ‘Coach, I’m gonna go in (and play).’ All of the sudden, critical moment in the game, and he’s in the game. And obviously, the critical turnover that we were able to generate there was very, very big.” Injury Update: The aforementioned Kelly Jr. could return this weekend against Missouri (TV: CBS, 3:30 p.m.) Jones said that Kelly Jr. was “day-to-day” heading into this weekend’s matchup. Another Vol that is day-to-day is offensive lineman Dylan Weisman; however, Jones gave no definite answer as to whether or not both of these unit leaders would be available this weekend. Chance Hall, another offensive lineman, didn’t play against the Wildcats because of an existing leg injury. Jones said that Hall would return to practice on Monday but did not confirm whether or not Hall would play this weekend. Final game time announced: If Florida loses to LSU and the Vols beat Missouri this Saturday, then Tennessee will have to beat the Commodores on the road and in prime time to win the SEC East. It was announced by the SEC on Monday that Tennessee and Vanderbilt would kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on the SEC Network. Tennessee is 75-29-5 all-time against Vanderbilt.
