NEWMAN INSTITUTE MENS SOCCER GETS A KICK OUT OF TEMPLE, 3-2 INTRODUCES NEW WAY TO PRESERVE 19TH CENTURY HISTORY Jon Moss

For The Pitt News A whole new world of possibilities for digitizing historical documents and releasing them online free to the public has found a home in Oakland.

The National Institute for Newman Studies, which is headquartered on North Dithridge Street, hosted an event at Heinz Chapel Monday evening called “Social Scholarship and Digital Humanities in the 21st Century.” Led by Daniel Michaels, chief technology officer of the NINS, the presentation aimed to showcase leading technologies for digitizing historic works from the 19th century.

The NINS is a religious center affiliated with Duquesne University and the Pittsburgh Oratory, which was founded in 2000. The institute focuses on the works of John Henry Newman, a 19th-century Catholic priest known for his controversial plan for the Anglican Church to retain Catholic beliefs and rituals.

Michaels led the NINS in joining a community of research libraries that collaborate and share their findings digitally. Through this process, the NINS has adapted its systems to fit the International Image Interoperability Framework, an archival platform which allows any IIIF-compliant viewer to access its materials.

PITTSBURGHERS GEAR UP FOR NEW BIKE PLAN

Kristin Saunders, the Principal Transportation Planner at DOMI, began the meeting with a presentation about the goals and basic details of the new bike plan, emphasizing the importance of feedback.

“We want to make sure the community is involved in all level of design,” Saunders said.

was initially released in 2012 and has since been adopted by hundreds of secular and religious libraries — from the Library of Congress to the Vatican Library. IIIF-compliant institutions provide a common URL for accessing, and then manipulating, historical documents. “[IIIF will] give scholars an unprecedented level of uniform and rich access to image-based resources hosted around the world,” Michaels said.

One key feature of IIIF, called “deep zoom,” allows for significant image magnification without pixelation. According to Michaels, this feature can provide increased accessibility of texts to those with poor vision. To demonstrate the feature he zoomed in and out from a gigapixel photo — photos which contain 1 million pixels and can only be made by a handful of cameras in the world — taken in space.

“I can still see the highs and lows of detail without the need to download every pixel,” Michaels said.

Seeing every pixel in great detail is especially important for vision-impaired individuals like Elizabeth McKay, a senior at Duquesne University. McKay said the ability to enlarge materials, combined with the ability to digitally annotate them, is an incredible learning tool.

“I think that [enlargement and annotation] is something the printed page doesn’t always allow you to do fully,” McKay said. “But this does.

You’re not constricted by writing around someone else’s words.”

Annotations can provide key information to readers, which is a central part of IIIF. A cornerstone of the platform is the ability to add such “linked data,” which allows users to add notes, tags, transcriptions and translations to documents. The feature allows for broader engagement with materials by providing readers with the opportunity to combine multiple documents into one viewing experience, according to Michaels.

Michaels highlighted the use of this technology with a digital image of the famous “Life of Buddha” painting. He opened the painting and displayed the corresponding Tibetan commentary with its English translation alongside the work.

“We have the ability to present, preserve and

Pittsburgh completed its first bike plan initiative, which aimed to make Pittsburgh safer, more convenient and more accessible to bikers, in 1999. After almost 20 years, DOMI announced the City’s second plan to revolutionize its biking infrastructure.

Saunders said the ’99 plan focused on easily achieved objectives, and that the ongoing plan will take on more ambitious ones. The new plan’s first priority is to improve the biking experience for commuters. Some planned bike paths include one that runs along Fifth Avenue from downtown Pittsburgh into North Oakland, and another that connects Esplen to South Shore via Carson Street.

Saunders concluded her presentation and opened the floor, inviting audience members to share questions, concerns and suggestions about the bike plan.

Renee Rosensteel, 54, came to the meeting to advocate for bike lanes on Chateau Street in Manchester, where she lives. But during the open-floor discussion she raised the issue of vehicles parked in bike lanes. She asked how she could report such violations, and a police officer in the audience replied that she could call 911 — but that if the vehicle’s owner contested their ticket and the complainant didn’t come to court as a witness, the ticket would be dismissed.

“Oh, no, Rosensteel replied, “I’ll be there.”

Rosensteel said she once called 911 on a car parked in a bike lane and waited in the rain for the police, but she got frustrated and left before an officer arrived. She said she understood that the police have other priorities, but that the rules of the road need to be enforced.

“There are a lot of times where I will ride up behind someone and take a picture and report it.

I do have places I have to go to,” she said. “[But] I’m not fooling around … give them a ticket.”

Retired electrical engineer and frequent biker Gerrold Green agreed with Rosensteel.

The 73-year-old Central North Side resident said cars parked in bicycle lanes are a problem he frequently sees, and that police need to do more than just tell drivers to move along.

“Bicycles need their own space,” Green said.

“I hope that the culture will change and it’ll take some enforcement.”

One audience member questioned whether

document massive amounts of data,” Michaels said.

Kristin Gottron, a Pitt 2012 alumnae and avid reader of Newman’s works, expressed her excitement about the application of the new technology. She said it allows her to combine her two loves — religion and technology.

“Any way that we can better understand and better make his work accessible is something that is absolutely something we need to spend our time on,” Gottron said.

IIIF doesn’t only provide digitized tools for students — scholars and professors are beginning to consider the more wide-reaching effects of IIIF across academia. James Swindal, dean of the Duquesne University McAnulty College and Graduate School of Liberal Arts, attended the event to hear about IIIF. He oversees a NINS-affiliated scholarship position at Duquesne.

Swindal said he is excited about the potential long-term effects of using the IIIF — specifically the ability to use the newly available data to draw connections between different documents and making the documents more accessible to the general public.

“It just heightens … the number of perceptions you can use to tell a story,” Swindal said.

“You don’t just want to put the books there, you want to be increasing their accessibility.”

October 16, 2018

better biking infrastructure was worth the investment, considering that resources could be spent elsewhere. Saunders defended the bike plan by calling attention to the 25 percent of households in the City that do not have access to a motor vehicle.

“We want to provide ways for people to get around without a car, because a lot of people don’t have access to a personal automobile,” Saunders said.

For Lynn Langford of Crafton Heights, there is no question that the benefits of building new bike paths and trails justify the costs. Langford is active with the West End community group, which promotes businesses and community activities in the West End — which in 2016 was found to be home to the most dangerous intersection in Pennsylvania.

She said she wants to see improvements in bike lanes around the West End circle in particular, which connects Carson Street and the West End Bridge. According to the online community input map, there are currently no plans for bike lanes in the West End Bridge area.

“Talk to anybody from the West End, we feel like we’re cut off from the City. If I want to go down Carson Street, I have to pick up my bike and carry it. The other option is to go through the circle with the cars.” Langford said. “West End is a community that keeps trying to revitalize. We would like to make it a destination.”

Alex Pazuchanics, DOMI’s Assistant Director for Planning, Policy and Permitting, said the bike plan is an opportunity for DOMI, as a relatively new organization, to articulate its values and make a difference in the lives of Pittsburghers.

“Everything that we do ties back to the needs of the community and the residents,” Pazuchanics said. “We want to give people options and choice in that process.”

Green said he appreciated DOMI’s efforts to involve the community in the decision-making process for bikers and the City’s bike plan. As a father and grandfather, he wants to see biking infrastructure improve and keep on improving for the sake of his children and grandchildren.

“It’s been slow and not always consistent and improving but it has been getting better,” Green said. “What you see now, a meeting like this, to talk about making improvements, wasn’t around in the nineties. It’s a good showing on the part of the City.”

CORPORATIONS NEED TO STEP UP TO LIMIT CLIMATE CHANGE

from the editorial board

North Dakota law disenfranchises voters While many politicians and activists are strongly encouraging voter registration before the midterm elections this November, North Dakota is moving in the opposite direction — the state is excluding a large portion of its population from voting.

The Supreme Court decided last week — less than a month before election day — to allow a voter ID law in the state that would require voters to supply their name, street address and date of birth in order to register to vote. The requirement could prohibit a sizable number of Native Americans from registering to vote — an unallowable breach in democracy.

The government of North Dakota claims the law is necessary to prevent voter fraud by preventing non-North Dakotan residents from setting up P.O. boxes to vote illegally. A judge had originally overturned it in 2016 on the grounds that voter fraud in North Dakota was “virtually non-existent.”

The problematic part of the reintroduced law is the requirement to supply a home address. Many Native American reservations, which are home to around 20,000 of the state’s 46,000 Native Americans, don’t use street addresses — some use P.O. boxes for their mail, which don’t count as street addresses in the eyes of the voter ID law. In the past, tribal identification was enough to allow people to vote.

Now, this will not be the case during the general election in November.

Native American groups are struggling to find a way around the law to allow people to vote. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote in a dissent with Justice Elena Kagan that “70,000 North Dakota residents — almost 20% of the turnout in a regular quadrennial election — lack a qualifying ID.” This is a large number of voters to disenfranchise, including the homeless population — in which Native Americans are overrep-

resented. The law will allow voters to use pay stubs or utility bills as forms of identification, but Justice Ginsburg points out that “approximately 18,000 North Dakota residents also lack supplemental documentation sufficient to permit them to vote without a qualifying ID.” The law seems to be a purposeful move on the part of the Republican-led state government to exclude a large, typically democraticleaning population from voting. In one of the least-densely populated states in the country, mere hundreds of votes can influence outcomes — Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, who is up for reelection this year, won her last election in North Dakota by just 3,000 votes.

North Dakota isn’t the only state to pass stricter voter ID laws in recent years. Since the Supreme Court struck down the Voting Rights Act’s requirement that states get federal approval to change voting laws in 2013, Alabama has passed many laws to make it more difficult for minority citizens to vote.

Almost immediately after the Supreme Court made its decision, the state government announced that it would require photo ID to register to vote the following year — but more Alabama voters without photo ID are black or Hispanic than white. Moreover, a year after the law went into effect, the state closed 31 driver’s license offices — where people can go to get photo ID — along distinct racial boundaries.

Eight of the 10 counties with the highest African American populations lost offices, compared with only three offices of the 10 counties with the lowest percentage of African American voters.

It’s unacceptable for states like North Dakota and Alabama to limit the ability of their citizens to register to vote — in fact, they should be making it easier to register. Preventing voters from participating in the democratic process during a key election season is not only unethical, it’s fundamentally un-American.

Coral reefs dying, massive food shortages, wildfires and other natural disasters — these are just a few of the horrors specifically highlighted in the latest U.N. report regarding climate change. The authors marked 2040 as the year humanity will begin to see the most dramatic changes caused by our abuse of our planet.

While there are still people in the United States who doubt the existence of climate change — our president among them — the scientific panelists at the U.N. have proved that if we want to avoid detrimental changes to our planet’s climate, someone needs do something to address the major impact human activity is having on the planet, fast.

This responsibility lands on the large corporations who have most contributed to this environmental damage.

Unfortunately, the authors of the U.N. report aren’t sure that we have the capability of reversing that damage quickly enough.

In the report they noted that to avoid the worst of the foreseen environmental damage, the world economy would need to completely flip from being solely expansion and profit-oriented to resource-oriented in a matter of a few years. It would also have to handle the environmental damages that have already occurred — an estimated total of $54 trillion. While this change might be possible, it’s politically unlikely due to the way our world talks about and

handles environmental issues.

The phrase “politically unlikely” raises the question of who is actually to blame for the extensive damage on our planet. With the current rhetoric concerning “going green” — switching to a less environmentally harmful lifestyle — the blame seems to be placed on individuals. Public service announcements, advertisements and newspaper articles tell the average citizen to recycle, turn off their lights and walk instead of drive.

One of the most recent green trends circulating social media is #strawless, where instead of using disposable plastic straws food chains like the ones Starbucks hands out, consumers either go strawless or use a reusable one made out of metal — something many sustainable companies have recently started carrying. But it doesn’t stop with lights, plastic and cars. A 2017 study said that the best way to reduce your carbon footprint is to have one less child.

33RD ANNUAL REEL Q FILM FESTIVAL BRINGS LGBTQ+ CINEMA TO THE ’BURGH

Siddhi Shockey Staff Writer

A mass group of film lovers waited outside the screening room at the Harris Theater in downtown Pittsburgh this weekend in anticipation of one of the longest-running film festivals in the City. Feature films and short films alike were shown at the Reel Q International Film Festival, which was sponsored by the Pittsburgh Lesbian & Gay Film Society.

This year marked 33rd annual run of Reel Q. The festival kicked off with feature film screenings on Thursday and finished up with shorts on Sunday. Many films were featured throughout the weekend, including comedic films — like “Lez Bomb,” which CMU alum Jenna Laurenzo wrote, directed and starred in — and a documentary called “TransMilitary,” directed by Gabriel Silverman and Fiona Dawson.

“We usually do men’s shorts, women’s shorts, trans’ shorts and hour-long shorts to encompass all non-binary films,” TJ Murphy, Reel Q’s director of programming, said. “And this year we decided that was starting to get a little outdated and we wanted to open things up a little bit and definitely just do some fun, themed programs.”

The festival traditionally lasts ten days, but with the closing of the Melwood Screening Room this past summer, the event was limited to one weekend wrapping up on Oct. 14.

In addition to “Fun in your Shorts, Shorts,” the weekend also featured two other series of shorts titled “Trans-tastic! Shorts” and “Face Your Queers,” highlighting more inspirational shorts.

Rather than feature short programs categorized by gender or sexuality, the production team at Reel Q was excited to feature a general amalgamation of funny short films for “Fun in Your Shorts, Shorts.” The shorts ranged from serious political issues with hard punchlines, like in “Waffles,” to bizarre and hilarious bits, like “Dropping Penny.”

men and women, highlighted the troubles that LGBTQ+ people face in a heteronormative society. Films like these provided viewers who may not be bisexual with the opportunity to understand the experiences these people face, even in seemingly simple situations.

Others, like “Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Furtive Festivity” — a twist on Arthur Conan Doyle’s iconic series in which Watson and Holmes are a gay couple — celebrated the beauty of LGBTQ+ relationships.

Following the screening of her film, director Mina Hoffman spoke briefly to the audience to offer her appreciation for the space that Reel Q provides.

“It’s always a really wonderful experience when we can come to a festival like this and be surrounded by people like you who understand and accept and who are proud to support the arts,” Hoffman said.

The attendees and board members of Reel Q are excited to have such diversity in their films and to be drawing in new audience members every day. Ultimately, Murphy feels that Reel Q develops a mutual love for the arts that can bring everyone together — both those in the LGBTQ+ community and those who identify as heterosexual.

“I feel like that’s definitely something that we get comments on here,” Murphy said. “You know you’re always meeting new people. You already have a lot in common because you both have a love for movies!”

Mara Rago, a board member for Reel Q, noticed that in the years since the film festival began, attendance has fallen. She recalls in the ’80s and ’90s when the line into the theater would wrap around the block, but in recent years the festival hasn’t drawn such large crowds. By increasing diversity, Rago hopes that Reel Q can draw more membership.

“I want to see it thriving again!” Rago said.

“I think we try to target all of the LGBTQ+, all of the letters that are involved, in our movies.

We try to get a little bit of everything.”

TAKEAWAYS FROM PITT’S NEAR UPSET OF NOTRE DAME Nick Carlisano Staff Writer

The Pitt football team nearly pulled off one of its signature upsets in South Bend, Indiana, on Saturday, as the Panthers came up just short of beating the Fighting Irish, 1914. Notre Dame remained unbeaten at 7-0, while Pitt fell to 3-4 overall heading into its bye week.

While the season is halfway over, it’s still quite difficult to accurately describe this football team and predict what areas they’ll be successful in from week to week. Here are three takeaways from Pitt’s narrow loss to Notre Dame.

Kessman’s kicks fall short Last week, Alex Kessman turned heads at Heinz Field with his ability to boot the football through the uprights. Kessman aced all three of his field goal attempts, the shortest of which was a 45-yard attempt with fewer than 10 seconds on the clock to send the game into overtime. Kessman also found a place in the Heinz Field history books when he drilled a 55-yard field goal, the longest kick ever made there — college or pro.

The Panthers could not have prevailed last week without Kessman, but this week his play was absolutely detrimental for Pitt against the Fighting Irish.

Kessman missed two field goal attempts, which would have secured a one-point win for Pitt. The sophomore shanked a 47-yard attempt wide left in the third quarter and a 36yard try wide right in the fourth. Both misses caused long Pitt drives that chewed up clock time to come up empty.

On one hand, a 47-yard field goal is no guarantee in college or the pros. But a 36-yard kick is a little harder to excuse, even if Kessman was playing in one of the most important, closest games of his life. The Panthers certainly should have put more points on the board and there are no scenarios where this loss is solely on the kicker.

almost any team out there.

Kenny Pickett might not be the answer Pitt’s sophomore quarterback simply might not be the solution. Already halfway through the season, Pickett hasn’t put up a good statline. And while Pickett hasn’t lost any games for Pitt, he certainly hasn’t won any for the team either. A steadier performance against UNC might have resulted in a win, and there’s reason to believe Pitt could have pulled off the upset this week had Pickett done more.

Pickett didn’t throw a touchdown and didn’t make any huge plays this week. While he didn’t turn the ball over, he didn’t do much to help his team in a game where the defense was doing everything they possibly could.

The sophomore has yet to pass for over 200 yards and has only six scores in seven games.

Most games, his stats are inflated by one or two big plays, and without them, he wouldn’t have even topped 100 yards.

But the play calling leans towards the run with senior tailbacks Qadree Ollison and Darrin Hall in the backfield. Against Syracuse, the coaches refused to let Pickett throw with the game on the line. There are many instances where the line gives Pickett no time to throw, but there are also instances where he’s taken sacks when he should have thrown the ball away.

Teams in the ACC need a playmaker quarterback to have sustained success and compete with the big programs. There are many circumstances and reasons that Pickett hasn’t put up numbers — but despite that, the numbers definitely aren’t there.

Pickett still has plenty of time to change minds. It’s only halfway through his sophomore year, and even if his play doesn’t pick up he’ll still likely get much of his junior year to keep his job. But if 130-yard, notouchdown games like this week and a few other games this season become a recurring theme, Pitt’s seemingly endless search for a QB will continue.
