Southern University will commemorate the outstanding playing career of SU basketball alum and NBA head coach Avery Johnson in a court naming ceremony Feb. 2 in the F.G. Clark Activity Center.
The ceremony will take place during halftime of the men's basketball game against Grambling. Tipoff for the women's game is slated for 2 p.m., immediately followed by the men. The game will be televised live on Cox Sports Television (Ch-37, HD Ch-1037).
"Alumni contributions separate great programs from good ones, and allow great programs to stay on top," said Dr. William Broussard, SU athletics director.
"The accelerated restoration of SU Men's Basketball in the past two years is due, in no small part, to alumni contributions--big and small--and none have been more significant thus far than Coach Johnson's."
Southern has also deemed Grambling game on Feb. 2 as "Alumni Night" and encourages alumni from both Southern and Grambling to attend. Tickets are available at the SU ticket office and are $7 for general admission.
The mayor of a south Queensland city where there have been clashes between Aboriginal and Pacific Island groups hopes a two-day forum next month will ease tensions.
Police have descended on the Logan suburb of Woodridge after four nights of confrontations between an Aboriginal family and a Pacific Islander family, and their supporters.
Douglas St, where the worst confrontations have occurred, was relatively quiet on Tuesday night, as police kept a presence.
Politicians are now turning their minds to solving some of the underlying issues they believe are contributing to social unrest in the multicultural community.
Logan Mayor Pam Parker has high hopes for a two-day safety summit she will convene next month, involving community leaders and representatives from the state and federal governments.
She says there are big issues for some residents of Logan, including access to employment and training.
"We have extremely high unemployment in Woodridge and it's been inter-generational," Ms Parker said.
"That's something we'd want to be looking at."
Ms Parker met on Tuesday with Queensland Police Minister Jack Dempsey, who promised an increased police presence until the confrontations stopped.
Meanwhile, the Aboriginal family involved in the dispute has told The Courier-Mail they will move out of Douglas St.
Tim Briggs said he'd lived in the Douglas St home with his wife and four children for six years, but now he wanted out.
"It's for the safety of my family, my children. We just want people to calm down now, to stop," he said.
Mr Briggs said he spoke by phone on Tuesday with the other family involved in the tensions, the Palau family, who live a few hundred metres down the street.
A group of Aboriginal women were also welcomed into the Palau home for peace talks, the newspaper reported.
The paper said members of the two families had detailed the event that had sparked days of unrest - an argument at a set of traffic lights between separate cars of Aboriginal and Pacific Island men on Saturday night.
A confrontation followed at a local supermarket and then at Douglas St, where a car owned by a member of the Palau family was damaged.
A group of Islander men retaliated by smashing in the windows of three cars at the home of the Aboriginal family.
Rocks were also hurled through the windows and walls of the house as its residents hid in a barricaded back room.
A resident opposed to moves to give Bath Rugby a greater share of the Recreation Ground has applied for the site to be made an official town green.
But the application by retired NHS IT manager Jack Sparrow has been dismissed as a ?stalling tactic? by the politician at the heart of the process of sorting out the Rec?s future.
Mr Sparrow, from Bathwick, has lodged an application under the 2006 Commons Act to have the whole of the Rec, including the city?s leisure centre, designated as a town green.
Such a status would make it more difficult for new development to take place there, and similar applications were used in an effort to stop the Bus Rapid Transit scheme in Newbridge.

Anyone wanting to apply for such a designation has to prove that there has been use of the land for recreation over a long period of time.
Mr Sparrow?s submission says the land had been used - and continues to be used - ?as of right by the inhabitants of the city of Bath for at least 20 years for lawful sports and pastimes.?
He also points to the 1956 covenant governing the Rec, drawn up when the land was given to the old city council.
The Rec?s delicate charitable status has held up Bath Rugby?s plans to develop a larger arena for more than a decade.
The Charity Commission last month launched a consultation into plans to allow the club to have a bigger area on the Rec, in return for its former training ground at Lambridge passing into public ownership.
Around 2,000 people took part in that exercise, and the commission is currently deciding whether to allow the shake-up to progress.
Mr Sparrow, who has lived in Bath since 1983, said the solution currently being looked at was ?a disaster?.
?I would like to see the Rec returned to open space. I don?t mind amateur rugby being played there, but Bath Rugby are abusing the situation. They have outgrown the Rec.?
He said the rugby club?s current main lease allowed for a ?ridiculously low? rent, and that a proper lease payment should be being paid with regard to the leisure centre.
The chairman of the Bath Recreation Ground Trust, Councillor David Dixon, who has been working with the commission, B&NES Council, residents and the club to square the circle for the future, said: "This is merely a stalling tactic, an application which in my view fails on many accounts as a town village green, not least there is a leisure centre in existence and people, are not free to access the land, as all sports and activities are to be booked and paid for through the trust.
?Mr Sparrow and his colleagues simply do not want the trust to resolve the outstanding issues, do not want more land brought under the trust's management in order for it to meet it objectives of making space available of sports, recreation and events.
?How much longer they want the issues the trust face to go unresolved, who knows? This is now in its 11th year and this is the year to resolve issues one way or another."
The trust will be objecting to the application, saying that designation would limit its ability to manage its land in a way that fulfils its objectives. The trust said the land it would gain at Lambridge would be more than double the new footprint of the club at the Rec.
?The new arrangements will provide a substantially improved and secure income stream for the trust. This will allow it to invest in facilities, improve maintenance standards and promote the development of sport and recreation. The trust believes that its proposal is in the best interests of the beneficiaries and is the right way forward for the Rec.?

In order to perform this jailbreak you need to run .BAT file and then follow on-screen instructions. After few mouse clicks you will jailbreak Microsoft Surface.
As you have already found out from our previous cover up, Microsoft Surface is finally jailbroken. Although the first attempt made by hacker clrokr in order to jailbreak Microsoft Surface proved to be quite difficult for normal users, the another one done by XDA-Developers member with nickname Netham45 is much more easier to perform for every Surface user. In this tutorial we will lead you trough complete Microsoft Surface jailbreak process so you can safely jailbreak your device.
Because Windows RT will not allow execution of third-party .EXE files due to its ARM architecture and restrictions which are made by Microsoft, this jailbreak will rely on .BAT file. In order to perform this jailbreak you will have to run .BAT file and then simply follow on-screen instructions. After few mouse clicks you should jailbreak your Microsoft Surface. Yes, it?s that easy!
Step 1: First download this file and then unpack it in new folder on your Microsoft Surface.
Step 2: Open the folder in which you have unpacked previously download file and then double-click on runExploit.bat file.
Step 3: Once you lunch the tool, it will automatically start the jailbreak process and all you have to do is simply follow on-screen instruction and confirm few changes.
Step 4: When you come up to Developer License window, tap on I Agree and then you will need to log in to your Microsoft account in order to obtain the developer license.
Step 5: Few seconds after your successfully login a new window will pop up where you need to confirm the successfully transfer of developer license. Inside that window all you have to do is click Close.
Step 6: Later on yo will be also asked ?Are you sure you wish to continue??. type Y on your keyboard and then press Enter.
Step 7: Next press Volume down button on your Surface to finish you jailbreak process.
Now once you have successfully jailbroken your Microsoft Surface, let me note one more thing, after you reboot your Surface the jailbreak will reset, but the good news is that you don?t have to run entire this process all over again. All you have to do is lunch .BAT file and then when asked press Volume down button.

You?ve got to hand it to The Walkmen ? truly they are men of their word. When they announced back in November that they would atone for their cancelled Electric Factory show with a new date at Union Transfer in January ? and a pre-concert spaghetti dinner for their Philly fans ? it seemed like a farce. But there we were, waiting in line while the perpetually suit-and-tie clad rockers and their friends served up dinner.
Some hundred and fifty people turned out for the pre-concert meal (we?ll have a review of the concert itself tomorrow) and, to their credit, The Walkmen did an admirable job recreating the Italian restaurant vibe of Union Transfer?s previous Spaghetti Warehouse incarnation. Frank Sinatra?s ?New York, New York? was piping through the speakers upon arrival at 5. Later, the playlist moved on to Dean Martin: ?Mambo Italiano,? ?Sway? and ?That?s Amore.?
While the Facebook announcement back in the fall said the meal would be prepared by the band itself, it appeared the food was actually catered from La Scala?s Pronto at 15th and Spring Garden. No bother ? the spaghetti was thick and tender, the meatballs juicy and mouth-watering. The sauce may have been thin, but hearty garlic bread made quick work of its watery remains. Caeser Salad was a pleasant side, with zesty Parmesan shavings. Short of a garden salad, the options for vegan attendees was scant, but everybody seemed happy to just hang and mingle with the band and other Philly musicians ? opener Alec Ounsworth of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Quentin Stoltzfus and Mickey Walker of Mazarin and Light Heat.
Some stood and ate their meals, others balanced their plates along the railing of Union Transfer, others still grabbed tables in the venue?s lobby. The folks from Victory Brewing were on hand to serve up Headwaters Pale Ale ? the mildly hoppy, flavorful drink made a nice accompaniment to the meal ? and Walkmen frontman Hamilton Leithauser and guitarist Walter Martin toasted each guest at the end of the line with the whiskey of their choice ? Maker?s Mark or The Famous Grouse.
Following the meal and mingling, the band took to the stage for the soundcheck, which featured a variety of lively rock and roll covers. Their opening rendition of Bill Conti?s Rocky theme was spectacular ? their four-piece horn section made it come alive in way I haven?t seen since Belle and Sebastian played it at The Tower Theater back in 2003. The crowd called out requests; Leithauser protested that he didn?t want to sing ?Blister in the Sun,? but it was too late, since the band had already started playing. They got nuggets-y on Larry Williams? ?Bony Maronie,? had a blast with Bob Seger?s ?Night Moves,? and brought trumpeter Paul Brandenberger to the mic for a rousing take on The Rolling Stones? ?Brown Sugar.?
The only disappointment? Despite their claims that they would play ?half-assed versions? of Coldplay?s ?Fix You? and ?The Scientist,? they declined to play either (despite my cries of ?We were promised Coldplay!?). Instead, they stuck to songs they could rock with their whole ass ? which, all things considered, was fine by me ? and even brought one of their kids (suit-clad, natch) to the stage for a noise-rocker original to close out the party.
