Hidden Treasures Get outdoors with geocaching

Geocaches can be any type of item, and geocachers can hide them anywhere in the world for others to find. | MCT Campus

Jessica Iacullo Staff Writer Thanks to technology, treasure hunting is back.

It’s called geocaching now, and Chris Stevenson, a 26-year-old Ontario native, has unearthed bounty just beyond the Cathedral on Schenley Park’s grounds.

“I’ve always had that ‘explorer’s itch’

but never really had a reason to,” Stevenson said, as he explained his reasoning for getting involved with geocaching.

Geocaching is an outdoor, virtual scavenger hunt that requires the use of GPS-enabled devices, according to Pitt’s Student Affairs website. A geocacher navigates to a specific set of GPS coordinates and attempts to find the geocache — or container with a visitor’s log and occa-

sionally a reward — hidden at a specific location. A geocacher can search for cache coordinates by entering the location of where they want to explore on the geocaching official website, www.geocaching.com.

There are more than two million “active geocaches” worldwide, according to the website, and six million people geocaching.

Board discusses upcoming elections, terms lengths Abbey Reighard Senior Staff Writer

If a proposed Student Government Board referendum passes, the next Board could take on a three-semester term.

At its public meeting on Tuesday, the Student Government Board moved to include a referendum on the ballot that would change its current term, which runs from the first day of spring semester classes to the day before the first day of spring semester classes, to instead follow the academic calendar year.

The Board voted at the public meeting to include the referendum on the ballot. The referendum will pass if three percent of the student body, or roughly

600 hundred students, votes in favor of the referendum.

According to the proposed referendum, annual elections would be take place in February or March instead of November. The Board Presidents’ and Board members’ terms would officially begin on the last day of the spring semester.

The Board intends to schedule the referendum on Oct. 9, so that incoming candidates will have time before election packets are due to decide whether or not they want to join a Board that will be in office for a year and a half.

The Board discussed the idea of the referendum, which would take effect in 2015, during a private meeting on Friday, Aug. 12.

After the transition year, term

lengths will be one year long. Nites said election packets will be available on Sept. 23. Barney said the packets will be due Oct. 15 at 5 p.m.

Elections Code Chair Lauren Barney raised a potential problem with the switch during the meeting.

Barney said seniors would be voting for a new Board during the spring before graduation, so many of those voters would no longer be students by the time the Board takes office. She added that incoming freshman would not be able to vote for the Board members who would be in office during their first year. “[Freshman] voices aren’t being heard, and old voices are,” Barney said.

Board Member Abby Zurschmit said she thinks the action would give freshmen an opportunity to run and also dis-

cussed Barney’s point during open floor.

Although freshmen would not be able to vote, Zurschmit said they would be able to run for Board in the spring.

“It would open the door for younger people to run, but close the door for some people to vote,” Zurschmit said.

In other action: The Board amended the Elections Code and then voted on the code, making the changes effective for this year’s election.

Nites asked Barney if she was “okay” with each of the changes before the Board voted on the amendments.

Barney said she approved of, but did not personally support, the Board’s

Veterans honored at VFW centennial ceremony

rights and care and acting as a support organization for veterans who have served in foreign wars, according to an information booklet provided at the ceremony.

Biedrzycki, who will command 1.9 million members in 7,000 different VFW units across 18 total countries next year when he takes the role of Commander-in-Chief, said he thought the ceremony was a fitting tribute to Pittsburgh’s first VFW encampment.

“It was a tremendous commemoration of our predecessors, who met in this hotel to come together and stick together to make life better for veterans,” Biedrzycki said.

District Commander John McDowell, who served in Korea from 1967-1970 in the 101st Airborne Division, described the event as “kind of special.”

“It is an international organization,” McDowell said. “We have posts all over the world. But because this one was founded right here in Pittsburgh, it’s really special.”

Conor McAteer Staff Writer Chancellor Patrick Gallagher hung a wreath near Forbes Avenue yesterday, but Christmas isn’t for nearly another 100 days.

Members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars followed Pitt ROTC students to watch as Gallagher hung a wreath under the VFW plaque on the corner of Forbes Avenue and Bigelow Boulevard to mark the 100th anniversary of the formation of Pittsburgh’s VFW branch. Sept. 14-17 marks the opening of the Pittsburgh sect of the oldest organization of U.S. war veterans in the country.

VFW Senior Vice Commander-in-Chief and Pitt alumnus John A. Biedrzycki Jr. spoke about the organization’s importance.

“The Veterans of Fforeign Wars is about service. It’s about service to veterans,” Biedrzycki said. “It’s about helping our country and the citizens remember the sacrifice made by our veterans.”

The VFW’s aid initiatives include community service, advocating for veterans’

SGB change to section 207.03 of the Elections Code. The change states that current Board members running for reelection cannot endorse themselves on official occasions, but they can endorse themselves during unofficial occasions.

Board member Andrew Abboud said the Board decided to change the section after they consulted Pitt Office of General Counsel legal services. Abboud said the members of the legal service suggested that restricting Board members running for SGB from endorsing themselves at unofficial events could be ruled as an infringment on the First Amendment.

Barney said the section was her “toughest one,” because she is afraid of biases during the election, but added that she will make sure she and the rest of the Elections Committee look out for candidate bias.

“If the Board member is showing a bias, we’ll try to curb that,” Barney said.

Allocations: Club Tennis Team requested $2,078.08 to send two teams to a tournament in New Jersey. The Board approved $1,169.52 and denied $908.56, in line with the allocations recommendation.

UPTV 21 requested $1,675.81 for new hardware and software. The Board approved in full, in line with the allocations recommendation.

Public emails warrant the ‘Right-to-Know’

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette sued the state Monday over the executive branch’s current email retention policy.

In Commonwealth Court, the newspaper asked a judge to end the current policy, in which public officials’ are allowed to permanently destroy their emails after only five days. Appealing to Pennsylvania’s Right-to-Know Law, the PostGazette has asked for the state to preserve public emails for at least two years.

The Right-to-Know Law asserts that the state must provide “access to public information, for a designated open-records officer in each Commonwealth agency, local agency, judicial agency and legislative agency.”

With that in mind, the PostGazette certainly has a case here — the state would be hard-pressed to prove that emails sent by civil servants while on the job don’t constitute “public information.”

After all, the will of the public doesn’t just come to an end after laws are passed — it is up to civil servants to make sure the laws are then properly administered.

But when Ron Tomalis, the former special adviser on higher education to governor Corbett, can only produce five total emails sent in a year’s time, it is certainly hard for the public to know exactly what he was doing, if anything.

Coincidentally, Tomalis resigned two weeks after the PostGazette reported on his lack of emails — they appealed to the Right-to-Know Law then as well.

According to the Post-Gazette, Acting Education Department Secretary Carolyn Dumaresq

claimed that she and her agency co-workers “delete and cleanse” their emails on a nightly basis.

State officials like Dan Egan, spokesman for the Pennsylvania Office of Administration, claim that the deletion of emails makes it easier to locate relevant records.

Still, only five total emails sent in one year calls for concern — and for good reason.

For the executive branch, or more specifically the bureaucracy, to implement policy effectively, it must be held accountable. If there’s no accountability, there’s no incentive to keep the bureaucracy from straying from policy or just deviating from the public will in general.

So, who holds the bureaucracy in check?

A large part of this job belongs to the legislative branch, as they appoint members of the bureaucracy and allocate funding to different agencies. But, this responsibility also falls on media outlets like the Post-Gazette. Media outlets keep track of government officials and agents to make sure that they are acting on the public’s behalf. Obviously, it’s hard to play watchdog if there’s nothing there to see.

So, because of the current email retention policy, news outlets like the Post-Gazette cannot properly report on government action — or inaction — to their constituency, which undermines the effective implementation of policy as it doesn’t provide adequate pressure on civil servants to do so.

Thus, as trivial as emails may seem, a win for the Post-Gazette will equate to a win for government efficiency and, in a way, for the democratic process.

Not quite music to my ears

The problem with intellectual property laws Thomas Helgerman Columnist Students and the technology sector alike have been abuzz with the announcement of the Apple Watch, which is already creating quite a buzz in the marketplace.

Such excitement is certainly warranted. Not only is this the first Apple product without the “i” prefix, but through its music storage capabilities, it also marks the end of the era of the iPod — the device that transformed the portable music industry.

But “smartwatches” aren’t the only market in which Apple

has been making moves lately — this May, it agreed to purchase Beats Electronics LLC, the company behind the popular “Beats

by Dre” headphones.

To borrow from SAT analogy lingo, Beats Electronics is to headphones what Apple is to portable music. With the production of the first iPod in 2001, Apple drew attention, and consumers to the entire market with each new release and now comprises over 65 percent of market share.

Similarly, the production of Beats headphones drove growth in the premium headphones market, of which Beats Electron-

ics now controls 57 percent. So, just as white iPod headphones were easily spotted publicly over the past decades, the signature “b” on Beats headphones are now ubiquitous.

The development is certainly not welcome by competitors in the premium headphones market. Once-dominating firms like Bose and Sony are now facing serious competition.

Rather than competing directly with Beats Electronics, these firms are choosing to use legal mechanisms to drive these new products out of the market.

HELGERMAN Unfortunately, this is merely symptomatic of larger problems with the overprotection of intellectual property — in this case, patents.

This past July, Bose took legal action against Beats Electronics for its alleged violation of five Bose patents on noisecancelling technology.

Bose was the pioneer of headphone technology when it released its QuietComfort headphones in 2000. This lawsuit isn’t new ground for the firm — it took similar action in 2008 against Phitek Systems Ltd. and more recently against Monster Cable Products Inc. this past February.

Given that Beats Electronics controls more than half of the market for premium headphones, the question arises as to why Bose decided to sue now rather than earlier. The reason, as you might have already guessed, is because Apple is in

the process of buying the company.

In this situation, two important conditions arise: First, the legal department at Beats Electronics is currently very busy working on the buyout, which means that they have less resources to devote to fighting a patent infringement lawsuit. Because of uncertainty about the outcome of legal disputes, firms that are being bought out try to avoid legal battles.

Both of these conditions imply that Beats Electronics will be more likely to settle than they previously would have been. By choosing to sue now, Bose is maximizing its legal payout from a patent infringement lawsuit.

Unfortunately, such behavior is the norm rather than the exception. As economists Michele Boldrin and David Levine describe in their book “Against Intellectual Monopoly,” big firms often amass large amounts of patents that function like ammunition in large legal disputes.

Patents are advantageous to hold for

HELGERMAN two reasons: First, they give firms the ability to establish and maintain a monopoly on their patented production. Additionally, firms can use them for defense.

When charged with patent infringement from another company, firms can claim their products under a different, yet very similar patent that they own. Also, holding patents that can be used to sue other companies for patent infringement will prevent them from suing the first firm.

In that, it initiates a “If you sue me, I’ll sue you” type of mentality.”

Not only does the bulky legal institution of intellectual property protection cause a lot of unnecessary legal work on the part of firms, it also encourages rent-seeking and discourages innovation.

In this situation, rather than competing directly with Beats Electronics, Bose is choosing to flex its legal muscle to recreate and protect its monopoly on noise cancelling headphones.

Beats Electronics has repeatedly shown itself to be a creative firm willing to go toe-to-toe with the established players in the headphone market. Most likely, Bose has calculated that it would be better off trying to battle its new competitor legally than compete in the marketplace.

That being said, Bose itself is only reacting rationally to the legal and economic framework set in place that incentivizes creating and enforcing a monopoly on a patented product. The reduction or elimination of U.S. intellectual property institutions would lead to less legal action from tech firms and more innovation and competition.

Panthers open three-game series at home after loss Mark Powell Staff Writer

After facing the nation’s best team over the weekend, midfielder Brandon Kolczynski and the rest of the Pitt men’s soccer team will be happy to return home for three games following a tough road trip to North Carolina and the now top-ranked Tar Heels.

But that does not mean that they will overlook their next opponent — Lafayette.

“We know they’re not as good of a team, so just take out the mental errors, and we should have it under control,” Kolczynski said.

The team begins a three-game homestand against Lafayette tonight, looking to improve its undefeated record at Ambrose Urbanic Field this season.

The Panthers expect to take advantage of two lesser opponents during its homestand, as both Lafayette and Niagara are not in power conferences. In between those games is a conference matchup against North Carolina State, which is 2-2 the season.

a better performance from the back line and try to possess the ball with more consistency than the team could against the Tar Heels.

The mental errors that Kolczynski referred to came in the second half against UNC when the Tar Heels put the game away by scoring their second and third goals from miscues in Pitt’s defense.

This will be the first-ever meeting between Pitt and Lafayette, a team that plays in the Patriot league.

Lafayette is a rather unimpressive 1-31 this season, with the lone win coming against St. Peter’s in the first game of the season. Since then, the Leopards have been involved in close affairs, by not losing a game by more than one goal and playing into extra time twice.

The team’s most impressive effort came in a road loss against Rutgers, when they pushed the Scarlet Knights in the second half but could not score the game-tying goal in the final minutes.

The Leopards have four players with two points apiece, providing a balanced

Fitzgerald regains form, McCoy solid again in NFL Jack DeMarco Staff Writer

While some former Pitt stars like Larry Fitzgerald got back on track Sunday, others, like Aaron Donald, regressed slightly after excellent week-one performances.

After a dismal outing in the season opener, Larry Fitzgerald improved dramatically for the Arizona Cardinals Sunday. The 11th year wide receiver snagged six catches for 51 yards as the Cardinals beat the Giants 25-14 in the Meadowlands. Oddly enough, Fitzgerald’s in-

creased production came from veteran backup quarterback Drew Stanton, who took the reins after Carson Palmer was pulled from the contest due to a shoulder injury. Unlike week one, where Fitzgerald seemed like more of a bystander than a top wideout, his 10 targets showed that he was not ignored at all for the second week.

The former Panthers chosen in the most recent 2014 NFL Draft endured some growing pains against their respective competition. St. Louis Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald hardly appeared in the stat book last Sunday

after a dominant season debut. Donald only recorded one tackle in the Rams’ 19-17 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, Donald played for 25 snaps and was still very disruptive while on the field.

Wide receiver Devin Street had a different story, with a stat line of goose eggs. The Dallas Cowboys’ fifth-round pick played the role of benchwarmer as superstar Dez Bryant surged the Cowboys to a 26-10 victory over the Tennessee Titans.

Speedster LeSean McCoy turned in the most noteworthy performance of all

former Panthers currently playing in the NFL. The Philadelphia Eagles running back was his typical elusive self as he aided the team’s comeback win over the Indianapolis Colts, 30-27. McCoy posted 79 yards on 20 carries, similar to last week’s numbers, but he was undoubtedly a bigger presence this week. For instance, his one-yard scamper into the end zone not only capped off a sevenplay, 80-yard drive, but also gave the Eagles their first touchdown in the game.

This gave the Eagles the much-needed

Despite world title, basketball viewership still down Imaz Athar For The Pitt News

The United States men’s team won the FIBA World Cup on Sunday when it beat the Serbian men’s team 129-92.

Not the FIFA World Cup that happened months ago — I’m talking about the FIBA World Cup, for basketball.

The International Basketball Federation, known as FIBA, held an international basketball tournament during the first two weeks of September with 76 games. Countries such as Spain, France, Serbia and the United States competed for the title of world champion.

Before 2012, the tournament was known as the FIBA World Championship. In 2012, FIBA decided to rebrand the tournament and changed the name to the FIBA World Cup. The expectation of the rebranding was that the name change would allow the tournament to be recognized as one of the world’s biggest and best sporting events. Not only

would the tournament gain prestige as a result of the name change, but it would also gain more viewers.

That wasn’t really the case — just more than one million Americans watched the United States team play in each of its tournament games, marking only a slight increase in viewership from the 2010 FIBA World Championship.

There are a number of reasons why the FIBA World Cup didn’t attract many American viewers. Mostly, it came down to timing.

First, most games occurred in the middle of a typical workday. Some of the tournament games were played at the same time as college football and NFL games. Also, this year’s men’s team didn’t have a lot of superstars — both Kevin Love and Kevin Durant dropped out, and Paul George broke his leg, forcing him to miss the tournament.

These reasons could explain the World Cup’s poor television ratings. However, bad timing might overshadow a bigger problem:

Americans just don’t care that much about the NBA. While television ratings for NBA Finals games have increased since 2003, the ratings for regular season games have not. In 1996, NBA games received an average 5.0 rating on network TV. In 2014, games received a measly average rating of 2.3.

NBA regular season game viewership doesn’t even compare to the tens of millions of viewers that NFL games have each week.

NBA ratings are more comparable to MLB ratings, even though America’s pastime has steadily lost viewers over the past 10 years.

But television ratings for NBA games were not always this bad.

Throughout the ’80s and ’90s, basketball’s popularity skyrocketed. NBA Finals games consistently held ratings over 13.0, and NBA All-Star Games rated twice as high as they do now. The NBA was so popular back then because the league had a fierce rivalry between two very likeable players in

Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, and it had a transcendent superstar that made every NBA game must-see television in Michael Jordan.

Today’s league has a great rivalry between LeBron James and Kevin Durant and a superstar who is bigger than basketball itself in LeBron James. Yet today’s ratings do not match the ratings of the ’80s and ’90s.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver recognized the disappointing television ratings that NBA games receive and has proposed solutions to the problem.

Silver wants to require that prospects play two years in college before they are eligible to play in the NBA, instead of one year as the rule currently mandates. By playing in college for at least two years instead of one, college prospects will gain a greater fan base. He hopes that these players will bring their fans to the NBA and increase the league’s popularity.

MEN’S SOCCER offensive attack. Pitt will most likely win the possession battle without much of a contest, but Lafayette’s spread-out offense could be dangerous in the counterattack.

Based on how the season has gone for Pitt so far, one of these teams will fail to score a single goal. The Panthers have been on one end of a shutout in each of their games this year.

The Panthers’ offense has been far from stagnant this year, despite being shut out twice. Pitt has averaged one goal per game in its four contests, which is a far cry from last year’s scoring woes.

However, this statistic is slightly skewed, as three of those goals came in its opening win against Presbyterian. Over

September 17, 2014 | The Pitt News | www.pittnews.com the last three games, the Panthers have only managed one goal.

They have a good chance at padding that statistic during the homestand with two games against teams outside of power conferences.

“I think we have to compare it to last year,” sophomore midfielder Kevin Murray said. “Last year, we weren’t even getting opportunities. We weren’t even getting the technique, it was mostly park the bus and hope for a draw.”

Murray has been impressive off the bench for the Panthers this season, providing an instant offensive threat. He scored his only goal of the season against Presbyterian.

In the shutout loss to UNC, Pitt failed to possess the ball for long stretches of time.

Head coach Joe Luxbacher said that against top opponents, the Panthers will need to

work on their possession.

“As a whole, there were some good spots,” Luxbacher said regarding the loss to UNC. “We’ve got to keep the ball more, and you have to do it in a way that you can get numbers forward and create chances.”

While Lafayette isn’t the same caliber team as UNC, Pitt cannot get too comfortable, as its next game is against NC State in its second ACC contest of the year.

Pitt has had more success in non-conference contests this season, largely due to the opponents it has played. William and Mary is the toughest non-ACC team Pitt has played this year, as evidenced by a 4-0 defeat.

Although it’s still early in the season, Pitt has yet to lose a regular season or exhibition game at home. The Panthers will also look to improve on their impressive home record this year, beginning with Lafayette.

confidence that carried their offensive momentum well into the fourth quarter.

Despite McCoy’s plentiful contributions to head coach Chip Kelly’s offensive game plan, sidekick running back Darren Sproles was the game breaker of the night. He led the Eagles with 152 receiving yards and also had a rushing touchdown of his own. Although it seems up until this point that McCoy is in the backfield for a considerable majority of snaps, don’t be surprised if this changes.

With Sproles’ playmaking ability and Kelly’s innovative play-calling, the two couldn’t be better suited for each other.
