The terrorist attacks in Paris and a suicide bombing in Istanbul hit home for many SU Abroad students visiting the European cities.

nov. 13, 2015: A series of shootings and explosions killed 130 people in Paris. SU Abroad confirmed via Twitter that all SU students studying abroad in Strasbourg and London who were visiting Paris were safe. jan. 12, 2016: Ten tourists were killed in a suicide bombing in Istanbul’s central historic district.

n light of terrorist attacks in Paris and a suicide bombing in Istanbul, Syracuse University Abroad is constantly reviewing and refining security protocol as it aims to remain vigilant over student safety and security.

“Student safety is never far from our minds,” said Margaret Himley, associate provost for international education and engagement at SU Abroad. “This is the study program that was hit by terrorism 27 years ago.”

SU Abroad members monitor world events from sources such as the U.S. State Department, International SOS — a medical and travel assistance company — and the media, according to the SU Abroad website. Based on the information gathered, Himley said SU Abroad assesses potential risks for students and makes decisions on how to proceed with the program.

On Jan. 12, 10 tourists were killed in an apparent suicide bombing in Istanbul’s central historic district, a popular tourist destination.

Himley said SU Abroad has made modifications in response to the suicide bombing, which will make students less likely to spend as much time in the historic district during signature seminar and more likely to take a private bus than the public transportation.

“These would be on-theground, carefully thought out decisions that center directors and the staff — in conversation with a risk management team and people here — would make,” Himley said.

But updates to SU’s international travel policies have been ongoing since before the terrorist attacks in Paris and Istanbul.

Michael Wasylenko, senior associate dean and professor of economics, sent an email on Jan. 7 to faculty and staff in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs announcing that SU had

developed a set of protocols relating to health insurance coverage while abroad and evacuation insurance “in the event of an emergency.”

The announcement was made after several SU faculty and staff members contributed to a list of practices and protocols for international travel. SU’s associate director of risk and insurance, Michaele DeHart, sent an email on Nov. 11, 2015, to these faculty and staff members addressing a meeting held at the end of August on international travel risks. In the email, DeHart asked recipients to send her any comments on the group’s drafted practices and protocols by Dec. 7.

Among the protocols in SU Abroad’s International Travel Guidance Document for Faculty and Staff is a notice that the Dean’s Office will advise the vice chancellor and provost “if there is a U.S. Department of State travel warning to avoid non-essential travel or Center for Disease Control (CDC) Level 3 travel warning to avoid non-

While discouraging independent travel was an “immediate response” to the Paris attacks, Himley said SU Abroad no longer discourages students from traveling independently. “(Discouraging independent travel) was a reaction to what we would call ‘a mass emergency’ that seemed undefined in terms of its scope,” Himley said.

Jennifer Horvath, manager of marketing and communications for SU Abroad, said there are at least two full-time staff members in Syracuse and in each center abroad who are available to respond to emergencies 24/7.

Peers remember professor

By Michael Burke asst. news editor

When Keith Alford remembers Claire Rudolph, he remembers the professor emerita of social work as she tried to figure out Alford’s role as a new faculty member in the mid-1990s. Rudolph was skeptical of his tendency to wear suits. “‘I just wonder if someone who is wearing that suit is still going to be able to roll up his sleeves and get into the community,’” Alford, associate professor in the School of Social Work at Syracuse University, recalls Rudolph saying.

Rudolph frequently spoke her mind like that, Alford said, but always with the intention of ensuring things got done.

“At the same time, she had a heart of gold,” Alford, who worked directly with Rudolph, said, “because she understood that compassion as well as fortitude must be a part of any equation.”

Rudolph, who joined the SU faculty in 1965, died in her home on Jan. 5, SU announced last week.

She served as chair of the School of Social Work in the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics for nearly 20 years before receiving emeriti status in 1996. During her time at SU, much of her work focused on programs for child welfare services.

Alford remembers Rudolph for her forceful nature and passion for her work in the School of Social Work. He said she was successful in her efforts because she was familiar with the community in and around Syracuse.

“In the School of Social Work we are very strong on working with the community,” Alford said. “Claire knew that it was important to have an idea of who those people were.”

To help better serve that community, Rudolph developed a number of programs aimed at training students to become “the best social workers,” Alford said.

Rudolph obtained training grants for the School of Social Work for more than a decade from the Maternal and Child Health Bureau and other grants from the Children’s Bureau that focused on training for child welfare workers. see rudolph page 8

The sound of trumpets blared through the Shaffer Art Building as Ludo Coudert prepared for a crucial audition. His chipper smile and passion for music made one thing apparent: nothing will stop Coudert from pursuing his dreams in the music industry. Not even a language barrier.

“I came here with a bad English level, but I tried since the beginning to do things I would do in France, even if sometimes I was afraid because I wasn’t sure how to say something, how to explain or understand,” Coudert said.

Coudert is a French exchange student with a passion for jazz and funk. After playing classical trombone for 10 years, he became fascinated with jazz.

“It was my dream, in France, to play jazz. It comes from blues.”

Coudert said. “Everything from rock, funk to hip-hop comes from the same base of music.”

Coudert trained in performance at the conservatories of Colmar and Strasbourg while simultaneously studying theory in the Department of Musicology at the University of Strasbourg.

LUDO COUDERT came to SU from France, and even though he struggled with English he has found music to be a great way to communicate. prince dudley staff photographer

“In France, we learn the American jazz, and in the United States, we learn the European classical music,” he said.

While the Setnor School of Music does not have a jazz major, Coudert decided to come to Syracuse University in August. The biggest challenge so far has been language, but it’s something he’s looking to improve as well.

Coudert said culture shock

has a way of intimidating many exchange students from accomplishing their aspirations. However, he’s been actively involved around the school, playing in SU’s Morton B. Schiff Jazz Ensemble and in the orchestral pit of What Theatre’s production of the musical “Hair.” Music has helped him make all of these connections.

“Even if I didn’t understand

everything the teachers or the students were saying, we still play music the same way between our countries,” he said.

When words run short, Coudert and his peers get lost in the music, rather than in translation.

Said Coudert: “It was funny to see that sometimes we understood each other better while playing than when speaking.” ghhughes@syr.edu

Grant to help laser research

By Sara Swann asst. news editor

By Stacy Fernandez staff writer

Starting this week, members of the Syracuse University community will be participating in Conversations about Race and Ethnicity, a six-week sustained dialogue program offered through the Division of Student Affairs.

This semester, four dialogue circles of C.A.R.E. participants will attend six dialogue sessions and have curriculum, but they are flexible to accommodate current events or personal experiences into the conversations, said Jordan West, who has been the graduate assistant coordinating C.A.R.E. since August 2014.

Anyone — students, faculty, staff or administration — can register and participate in C.A.R.E. during any given semester at SU, West said, but registration for this semester’s session, which starts the week of Jan. 24 and ends the week of Feb. 28, has already closed.

C.A.R.E. was created in 2004 through a collaboration between the Office of Residence Life and the Office of Multicultural Affairs in order to “deepen and broaden understanding of race and ethnicity,” said Rebecca Reed Kantrowitz, who was director of the Office of Residence Life at the time and is now the senior vice president and dean of student affairs.

Kantrowitz said SU officials felt in 2004 that this program was something they needed to start.

Over the years, C.A.R.E. has improved, Kantrowitz said, adding that the program has always had the benefit of being led by a graduate student. For example, when West took over the program she changed the curriculum so that it was more up to date and relevant to SU, Kantrowitz said. “(C.A.R.E.) changes as it needs to, to reflect current day issues,” Kantrowitz said.

She added that she would love for the program to be expanded, but there are currently no plans for expansion other than to add more dialogue circles as needed.

In regard to the leaders of the dialogue circles, West said C.A.R.E. facilitators know how to manage the dialogue circles, the curriculum and any shifts in conversation that may occur.

“Facilitators have the autonomy to engage to various conversations especially if something comes up in the news or is happening in that moment,” West said. see c.a.r.e. page 8

The National Science Foundation recently awarded two Syracuse University professors a $1 million grant to develop a citizen science system for a project being hailed as “the most complicated experiment ever undertaken in gravitational physics,” according to the grant abstract.

The term “citizen scientist” has been recently coined, said Kevin Crowston, a distinguished professor of information science in the School of Information Studies who is coinvestigating the project, INSPIRE: Teaming Citizen Science with Machine Learning to Deepen LIGO’s View of the Cosmos, with Carsten Østerlund, associate professor and director of Information Management and Telecommunications and Network Management at the iSchool.

The project will support the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational wave Observatory, according to the grant abstract.

Online program ranked No. 44

By Kenneth Mintz staff writer

The Martin J. Whitman School of Management’s online MBA program, MBA@Syracuse, was named No. 44 in the U.S. News & World Report’s top 50 “Best Online MBA Programs” in the nation.

“No. 44 has a special meaning at SU,” said Lezlie Labbe, a student in the program. “It is known that each player that has worn the jersey carried great hopes and great expectations. That is how I feel about my education at Whitman.”

U.S. News & World Report factors student engagement,

admissions selectivity and peer reputation in descending order of weight, according to the publication’s website.

At No. 44, SU is tied with several other universities, including Creighton University, Florida State University, George Washington University, University of Michigan—Dearborn and the University of Utah. GWU is one of SU’s peer institutions.

The ranking includes 167 colleges from across the United States. U.S. News & World Report undergo qualitative and quantitative research in order to produce the rankings.

Whitman was previously

ranked at No. 57, said Amy McHale, assistant dean for Master’s programs at Whitman.

She added that there are more than 600 students registered for the program.

The program requires 54 credits like the on-campus version of the MBA program, McHale said, but three of those credits are derived from three one-credit residencies, which take place in global business cities.

Students attend these threeday residency programs, including one in Syracuse along with two other residencies. In the

editorial board

Diversity discussions lack attendance In response to criticisms pertaining to lapses in transparency and inclusivity, Syracuse University is offering viable ways for students, staff and faculty to constructively engage in diversity-specific dialogue. But the campus community remains unreceptive.

Nearly 140 people participated last semester in Conversations about Race and Ethnicity (CARE), a six-week dialogue program meant to spark discussion on related issues facing the SU community. Although the program is free, accessible and organized to promote discourse inspired by current events, only about 50 people registered to take part in the program this semester.

The consistent lack of interest and participation in these discursive spaces on behalf of the university community is hypocritical when placed in the context of university affairs. While it is the responsibility of the admin-

istration to respond to concerns expressed by the community and provide outlets for discussion, it is ultimately up to the students, staff and faculty at SU to take advantage of these opportunities.

The low CARE registration numbers come soon after an 18-day sit-in at Crouse-Hinds Hall in fall 2014 when THE General Body presented a 45-page list of grievances and demands to the administration, which included a call for more dialogue spaces.

This trend is also supplemented by the fact that only about 150 members of the SU community – which makes close to .0056 percent of the total university population based on fall 2014 data – attended a listening session hosted by the Chancellor’s Workgroup on Diversity and Inclusion in December 2015.

Although minimal promotion is often cited as a failure on behalf of the administration in garnering

scribble

university feedback and support, even that argument lacks validity in this case. University-wide emails from both the Division of Student Affairs and Chancellor Kent Syverud have offered clear invitations for commentary and updates for those who took the time to read them.

Students, staff and faculty are not at all obligated to partake in these forums. However, moving forward, it sets a distinct standard: why should the university administration respond to grievances if the campus community will not make the effort to meet them halfway when prompted?

The administration has done its part in creating tangible opportunities to enhance the discussion of diversity, inclusivity and transparency on the Syracuse University campus, a conversation that some have argued has been sidelined for far too long. But if students expect their voices to be heard, they have to be present.

Conflict between Syracuse, COR disruptive to local community N THEO HORN

ew York state Supreme Court Judge James Murphy’s recent decision to dismiss part of the city’s recent lawsuit against COR Development Company is sure to harbor ill will.

Over the past few months, a battle has been raging between the city of Syracuse and COR Development Co. over a project to revitalize the city’s harbor district. COR was chosen to develop the 28-acre plot of land back in early 2012, and the city has since signed over the land for nearly $2.8 million, as reported by Syracuse.com.

Problems arose as the city and COR began to look toward making a payment in lieu of taxes which the Onondaga County Industrial Development Agency would approve in December 2015.

The city, who opposed the deal and was adamant that COR promised not to pursue a payment in lieu of taxes when they were first sold the land, immediately filed suit against the developer.

The current situation between the city and COR only serves to

embarrass both parties and, most importantly, derail a mutually beneficial economic opportunity for Syracuse.

As parties from opposite sides of the table weigh in on the issue, we’re left with a textbook example of how not to mingle private and public sectors.

Peter Howe, an assistant professor of economics at Syracuse University’s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, echoed thoughts of mistrust, explaining his “‘suspicion of business’ involvement in government.”

He continued to say that campaign funding and private contributions can “create a conflict of interest.”

Again, it is important to remember that there are no winners in this legal duel. COR, who has already come under fire from the public, may continue to look like the villain. The payment in

lieu of taxes deal they’re seeking comes with considerable financial concessions already forfeited by the city.

Members of the Syracuse Urban Jobs Task Force have already been protesting the company after they made no assurances to hire underprivileged city residents for jobs in the Inner Harbor, according to the group’s representatives.

$2.8 million The amount for which the city of Syracuse agreed to sign over 28 acres to COR Development Company in 2012, according to Syracuse.com

Though perhaps clean legally speaking, the company’s reputation will likely be damaged in the city for years to come. Their insistence on more and more financial breaks from the city and pattern of excluding urban workers, so far, makes their ambitions seem cold-blooded.

Syracuse residents are no strangers to harmful tax deals after awarding Destiny USA a 30-year property tax exemption in 2002 worth millions of dollars.

It’s as if this folly by the city has become a standard for companies like COR to strive toward.

If the city suffers economically due to decreased tax revenue, the city’s consumers may have less capital to spend on the harbor renovations, whereas investing in Syracuse could pay dividends due to increased business in the harbor district.

As for the city, their position seems to be one of poor judgment and negotiation. The city should have aimed at securing COR’s promise to not to seek a payment in lieu of taxes far sooner in the development process.

Several former Syracuse councilmen, whose voting records back this up, had voiced their reluctance to sign over the land to COR prior to this battle because they made no such promises. The decision to move forward without

a contract in place seems like a careless gamble the city is now scrambling to rectify.

We must remember that before anything else, COR is a business and a business will always try to make money. It would be altruistic of COR to have not sought the payment in lieu of taxes and promised to employ underprivileged workers, but they are by no means legally obligated to do so. The city, on the other hand, has shown a reckless agenda that they’re now trying to salvage.

Moving forward, it would be pleasant to see our city and local businesses work to secure mutually favorable deals that will simultaneously benefit the public, which is the lifeblood of both parties’ success.

Cooperation is best for all involved, and is the best path to revitalizing our community.

ZOOM ZOOM SUNY-ESF to use grant to buy microscope

By Taylor Watson staff writer

S

UNY-ESF recently received a $1.12 million grant from the National Science Foundation for a field emission scanning transmission electron microscope.

The State University of New York College of Environmental Sciences and Forestry will soon replace its nearly 30-year-old microscope with a more modern and efficient scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM), which will be the only one of its kind in central New York.

The closest field emission scanning transmission electron microscope is located at Cornell University, a peer institution of Syracuse University. In the past, researchers from SUNY-ESF have had to drive to Ithaca, New York to use Cornell’s microscope.

$1.12 million

The amount of money SUNY-ESF received from the National Science Foundation for a field emission scanning transmission electron microscope

The microscope will be located in the in the N.C. Brown Center for Ultrastructure Studies at SUNY-ESF in Baker Laboratory. The center enables students, faculty and research staff to receive access, assistance and training in modern microscopy techniques, according to the SUNYESF website.

The new microscope’s presence at SUNY-ESF will save a lot of time and effort, said Robert Smith, assistant director at the N.C. Brown Center for Ultrastructure Studies and coinvestigator on the NSF grant.

The microscope will allow for frozen sections, Smith said, meaning that samples do not have to be prepared in plastic or be negatively stained but simply be viewed in ice.

The microscope will also have an X-ray unit, enabling analysis of elements all the way down the periodic table to boron, Smith said.

Susan Anagnost, director of the N.C. Brown Center and principal investigator on the grant, said the center currently uses film and added that this new microscope will have a CCD camera.

“It will make everything simpler,” Anagnost said. “We can track things faster.”

The staff at SUNY-ESF is patiently awaiting the microscope’s arrival. The microscope is not off the shelf, and is in the process of being built. Anagnost predicts that it will be ready to use in roughly six months.

Anagnost said the idea to write a grant proposal for a new microscope was formed four years ago. The proposal was submitted in January 2015 and was accepted the following August, she said.

SU and the State University of New York Upstate Medical University were also involved in writing the grant. The microscope will serve all parties involved, each with different uses in mind, Smith said.

“One of our goals when we put the grant together was to be able to provide the capabilities of this microscope for a lot of different types of research and researchers,” Anagnost said. “Some microscopes are more specialized, but we wanted this one to have a multiple number of features to be able to support different uses by different people.”

It will make everything simpler. We can track things faster.

Susan Anagnost

director of the n.c. brown center and principal investigator on the grant

Each grant co-investigator plans to use the microscope for different reasons. Stephan Wilkens, an associate professor of biochemistry and molecular biology at SUNY Upstate, plans on looking at ATP, which is the energy currency for a cell.

Mathew Maye, an assistant professor in SU’s Department of Chemistry, is interested in nanoparticles.

Ivan Gitsov Ivanov, director of the Michael Swarcz Polymer Research Institute and professor and chair of the chemistry department at SUNY-ESF, plans to use the microscope for looking at hydrogels.

Smith plans to look at insect vectored human diseases while Anagnost plans to look at wood cell wall development and how fungi degrade wood.

The majority of the funding for the microscope will come from the NSF and additional funding will come from the Empire State Development’s Division of Science, Technology and Innovation along with the three universities involved, Anagnost said.

In addition to faculty and staff, the microscope will also be utilized by students, Smith said. “(The microscope) will be incorporated into all of our microscopy classes,” Smith said. “We will teach students how to use this machine, and they can put that on their resume, which could help them receive positions where the machine is being used.”

This specific microscope is used in several fields including automotive, medical, academic and pharmaceutical, Smith said.

“It’s going to be a lot of fun,” Smith said. “It’ll be such a great toy to play around with and see what it can do.” tnwatson@syr.edu

Himley said students in study abroad programs are educated about safety and know to avoid public demonstrations. Students also learn about the geopolitical framework of a country so they are not unnecessarily fearful of any situations there.

“We have center directors who talk openly and honestly about where things are and how people should think, which is good advice for getting around the world for anybody,” Himley said.

When asked whether SU Abroad is planning to cut its program short at the moment,

Himley said SU Abroad has no plans to do so.

Students too are continuing to participate in SU Abroad, as Himley said there was a 10.5 percent increase in SU students studying abroad from the spring 2015 semester to the spring 2016 semester. In spring 2015, 838 students studied abroad through SU; this semester, 926 students are studying abroad.

Yet, Himley added, the SU Abroad program has the capability and history of shortening study abroad programs, such as during the spring 2013 semester, when a protest at Gezi Park in Istanbul closed Bahçeşehir University — where the SU Abroad Istanbul program is embedded.

“We can’t ever say that everybody will be totally safe, but we don’t think that there is an imminent danger,” Himley said.

Mehrzad Boroujerdi, professor and chair of the political science department at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, will be taking a group of students to Istanbul in June for a one-month study abroad program. He said there has not been a major logistical change made to the travel plan but added that he will be monitoring the situation on the ground with the SU center in Istanbul, a risk management team and International SOS. Himley said potential SU Abroad participants have to make individual risk assessments and decide whether to study abroad.

“I think many students see this as an opportunity to study abroad. Not to put themselves into danger but understand the world better,” Himley said.

the School of Social Work were developed as a direct result of the training programs.

These programs included evaluative components, which Alford said was indicative of Rudolph’s desire to fully prepare students for their future careers in social work.

“It was so that they could see results or look at ways that they could improve, instead of going through the motions every

day, doing the same things over and over again and not actually including an evaluative component,” Alford said.

Rudolph also commanded respect and was a very forthright person in making sure the correct decisions were made, Alford said.

Carrie Smith, director of the School of Social Work, worked with Rudolph on different research projects and reiterated

Alford’s sentiments.

Smith said she would especially miss Rudolph’s rare combination of generosity and “stalwart determination” to help the disadvantaged.

“Claire was a force and we are all saddened by her passing,” Smith said. “She will be sorely missed.”

resident advisers, are required to register for C.A.R.E. But West said she usually doesn’t know who is required to attend the sessions and who isn’t.

Last semester, nearly 140 people — 11 dialogue circles — registered and participated in C.A.R.E. This semester, about 50 people — four dialogue circles — are registered for the program. West added that the spring always sees less enrollment compared to the fall.

Another program similar to C.A.R.E. is Intergroup Dialogue — a course students can take for credit that runs the entire semester, West said.

Both C.A.R.E. and Intergroup Dialogue are opportunities to engage in conversation and the two programs have a strong partner-

ship with each other, she said.

Sometimes students who enroll in Intergroup Dialogue decide to also register for C.A.R.E. afterward, West said, and vice versa.

West said she hopes all C.A.R.E. participants find the program to be a space where they can self-reflect, think critically about race and ethnicity and consider the experiences of others.

“I really want people to understand that there are systems of oppression out there and that there’s power and that there’s privilege and different societal constructed factors that influence how we experience identity as a whole, and then in this case race and ethnicity,” West said.

When THE General Body held an 18-day sit-in at Crouse-Hinds Hall in fall 2014, one

of the demands on its 45-page list of grievances was more dialogue spaces. West said C.A.R.E. is meeting this demand.

During the six-week program, West said she doesn’t know what is going to happen, but at the end of every session she receives feedback and evaluations from participants.

Some people note that they need to do more research themselves; others leave motivated by the program to do something more.

“I think people are at different stages when they leave, but my hope is that regardless of what that stage or point looks like, you are being really critical,” West said. “You’re asking yourself questions, you’re asking questions of others, you’re looking to learn more.”

nationally and internationally, Walters said. “… The staff and faculty genuinely care about their students and their success,” Walters said.

The online MBA program offers five distinct specializations: accounting, entrepreneurship, finance, marketing management and supply chain management, according to the MBA@Syracuse website.

McHale said she has not had the opportunity to study the data provided by U.S. News & World Report. She recognized the intense data research undergone by the website, and she said she wants to build off of it.

With modern technology, students partake in large online sessions, and then connect through smaller live sessions, McHale said.

MBA@Syracuse uses online education service platform 2U to develop videos and interactive case studies, said Andrew Herma-

lyn, 2U’s regional executive vice president.

Will Geoghegan, an assistant professor of management in Whitman, said he is happy about the MBA@Syracuse program’s ranking. He added that he thinks the program has a legacy of being ranked “very, very well.”

Geoghegan credits 2U for a part of Whitman’s success, saying it has been “awesome” to work with the service.

Geoghegan is an instructional leader for the strategic management concentration, where he records online content and incorporates various case studies into lessons.

Geoghegan and other professors use 2U to create and deliver content to the students.

Labbe said she is excited about the ranking, but said there is room for improvement. She added that she appreciates the flexible scheduling associated with the pro-

gram. In addition to having a full-time job during the week, Labbe is working toward her graduate degree on weekends in the comfort of her own home.

Labbe is a current member of the United States Army Reserves, and 25 percent of the program’s students are either current or former military personnel. Last year, the Military Times ranked Whitman the second best school for veterans in the country.

Although SU and its counterparts are proud of No. 44 and all that it stands for, MBA@ Syracuse is ready to move further up the ladder.

“I know that the 44 has symbolic meaning,” said Geoghegan, but with the program trending in an upward direction, he said he believes the program can be even more aspirational moving forward.

that comes off is basically a sound wave.

The reason this is an innovative citizen science project is that the project will use machine learning as well as people, Crowston said. While there are computers that are trained to identify the different images, they cannot detect all of them. This is where the citizen scientists come in. The images the computers do not recognize are then given to people.

“The human brain is very, very good at pattern recognition, and if you can pull out images of the shapes of these glitches … you can get humans to classify these glitches,” said Duncan Brown, an associate professor of physics at SU. Humans can classify as well as do pattern matching for the environmental behaviors surrounding the glitches, Brown said. They

may also be able to figure out what kinds of glitches occur most often or correlate them with things going on in auxiliary channels to see why a glitch is occurring, he said.

The citizen scientists are being recruited through the Zooniverse, which, on its website, is described as a platform for people around the world to contribute to real discoveries in science.

The Zooniverse is completely web-based and currently boasts more than 1 million members.

Over time, the feedback from the citizen scientists will help to make the computer programs more accurate, Crowston said.

The images that the computer is fairly certain about can then be given to new citizen scientists and be used as a way to train them.

The Zooniverse has templates that

Crowston and Østerlund are tweaking and adding extensions to, Østerlund said.

The main concern is that most projects on the Zooniverse do not have a training component to them, Crowston said.

“We’re thinking that people will need to get some kind of training of what glitches look like and what the process looks like, and so we’re trying to decide some kind of a training regime,” Crowston said.

There is a current version of the system available now, but the user would have to already know what glitches are and how they appear, Crowston said. He added that he and Østerlund are hoping to have a version of the system done by the summer that would be ready for regular users.

IOANA TURCAN was born in Romania. Before coming to Syracuse University, she spent a year filming a documentary about a Roma family who lived near her house. Her film has been accepted to several festivals in Europe, and she said she hopes she can take it even further. moriah ratner staff photographer

Documenting disparity SU graduate student finds success after filming documentary

By Lizzie Michael asst. feature editor

I

oana Turcan traveled overseas from Gherla, Romania, to make films that could bring a face to the marginalized communities she saw being stereotyped as a child.

Turcan, a second-year graduate film student in the College of Visual and Performing Arts at Syracuse University, recently produced the film “The Other Life of Charon,” a documentary

depicting the Roma community in Romania. The film focuses on a Roma family who are thought of as beneath and out of touch with the community around them.

“I’m trying to represent things that are not so represented in the media,” Turcan said.

Since its completion, “The Other Life of Charon” has been accepted to several festivals in Barcelona and the Czech Republic, and has had a showing in Switzerland. Turcan also submitted the film to festivals

in Romania, and now the film is at the height of its distribution.

“It’s kind of experimental film,” Turcan said. “You don’t have talk-

ing heads. No one is talking to you.”

Turcan had never really thought of filmmaking as a calling until she traveled to Italy for a high school competition. She learned about a competition asking students to film a movie and, intrigued, submitted a film she had made in the ninth grade. After being accepted, she drove down in a school bus with her classmates to Italy, where the festival was being held. To her surprise, her film and school won third place.

“We came back, and I realized

I want to do this for the rest of my life,” she said.

After high school, Turcan went to college at a Romanian film school.

It was during her first year of college that she and her peers began work on a group project that would later provide inspiration for “Charon.”

After she graduated, Turcan began applying to MFA programs outside of Romania and was accepted to SU. Before arriving at SU, Turcan began filming “Charon” in Romania. The documentary follows the story of a Roma family that takes care of a cemetery near her house. Turcan said she wanted to confront stereotypes and show a different side to the Roma community, which is otherwise known by the derogatory term “Gypsies.” see turcan page 10

Netflix update: New and old TV shows to look for this February

E

very month, Netflix sees old favorite movies and TV shows leave, and new ones take their place. In February, we may see classic Netflix shows like “Doctor Who” make its exit, while the “Breaking Bad” prequel “Better Call Saul” will make its mark on the streaming service. Here’s what’s coming and leaving: Coming: “Better Call Saul,” Season 1

KYLE STEVENS

JUST LIKE, MY OPINON MAN AMC’s prequel to “Breaking Bad” reviewed well with critics, and those who watched it, loved it. However, not many people watched the show all the way through, so AMC has turned to Netflix to pump blood into yet another one of its shows. If Netflix

gives it the promotion it deserves, then “Better Call Saul” could turn into another hit for the cable channel. Season 2 premieres Feb. 15 on AMC, one day before season 1 goes up on Netflix. Despite the show’s success, Netflix has ignored calls to release a season of a show before the next season premieres, putting binge watchers behind. It’s probably not their decision to make, but it produces more views for competitors who stream shows’

current seasons.

“Fuller House,” Season 1 Want to see the cheesiest trailer of all time? Check out the trailer for “Fuller House,” in which you see none of the characters but hear them all say their trademark catchphrases back to back. Despite the trailer, “Fuller House” will be a huge hit, no matter how bad of a show it is. “Full House” was one of the last shows

to transcend the generation of its original viewers by remaining popular through syndication. The result is a lot of people who have “Full House” as part of their childhood memories. Combine that with the 65 percent of America who have a crush on John Stamos, and it’s almost a certainty that Fuller House will dominate the internet for a week or so, which is as good as it can get. see stevens page 10

ne big thing was missing from the prestigious Oscar nominations: diversity. For the second consecutive year, all 20 acting nominees were white, prompting a revival of the hashtag #OscarsSoWhite.

The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences mirrors an industry that is still ridden with extremely unequal representation. The membership of the academy represents the workers of the film industry throughout the last 88 years. Because of this, members are older, and the vast majority are white and male.

This is an issue that the academy itself has decided to be active about. Cheryl Boone Isaacs, academy president, has announced that the academy will take initiatives over the next three years to double the amount of women and minorities in the academy.

The problem is that to invite minorities and women into the academy, there needs to be a sufficient amount of women and minorities working in the film industry. It’s especially a problem when the industry is systematically built to exclude them. Membership expansion will hopefully be a sign to Hollywood that there must be more voices in the marketplace, and that more stories need to be told from different viewpoints. This could cause a chain reaction allowing for more representation in our mainstream media.

The academy has made strides to make the future bright for these underrepresented voices, but let’s look at the present.

There were a number of potential minority nominees that could have made the cut this year, but none of them did. Why did this

turcan “Their life is very focused on family and the joy that it brings in. People see that as a stereotype ... which is not true,” Turcan said. “They do have struggles in real life. There’s something about embracing their family — that I’ve never found anywhere else — that I miss.”

The emotions Turcan saw in Roma families translates into her work. She is driven by “humans and their problems,” saying that the feelings of anger make her want to be productive. Turcan said when she’s concerned about something, she had to focus on it “because it stays with me all the time in my mind.”

For Turcan, filming lasted a year, and editing took another year. Although she began editing in the SU labs with the help of her professors, she eventually sent off her film to another editor to be finished.

Emily Vey Duke, an associate professor in the Department of Transmedia and was one of Turcan’s instructors last year, said Turcan is capable of very interesting work.

“Ioana is terrific,” Duke said in an email. “She is a warm and generous woman

happen? Well, it goes far beyond race. Idris Elba was considered by many to be a shoo-in for his role in “Beasts of No Nation,” but alas, no nomination.

Was this due to race? It might have had an influence, but the issue here is that the film was distributed on Netflix. As previously mentioned, the academy is an older group whose career is based on the current film industry, which Netflix is threatening.

The academy’s preferential voting system also plays a role in the lack of diversity. The academy is not actively racist but is not properly opening themselves to experience all the options for nominees. The Oscar voting works where the nominees are based on the number of first place votes in a category.

So academy voters do not list their top five choices, and the actors with the most appearances get nominated. Rather, the top five actors with first place votes get nominated.

The current Hollywood structure is a virus in terms of underrepresentation, while the Oscar nominations are simply a symptom. The academy has taken it upon itself to fix the issue, but it will take a lot more than an arbitrary list that includes diversity to fix the true virus of underrepresentation in the film industry.

who is deeply committed to her vision as an artist and filmmaker.”

Owen Shapiro, co-founder and artistic director of the Syracuse International Film Festival, said VPA admitted Turcan and four other students out of a pool of 160 graduate applicants — demonstrating Turcan’s high caliber as a filmmaker.

“We think the quality is pretty high,” Shapiro said. “Ioana has so far lived up to that.

She’s extremely talented. She has a very good and strong sense of herself as an artist.”

In the meantime, Turcan has been focusing on her studies and making films that deal with social and political issues. Her most recent film used immigration as a central theme.

Turcan said her future is uncertain, but she just knows that she always wants to do what she loves.

“I was always passionate about something for a year or two and then I’d just give it away,” Turcan said. “But film never bailed on me, my passion towards it. The fact that I was always interested and I could see it in a way, I think that’s what kept me with film. I want to do this for life.” emmichae@syr.edu

renewal of Doctor Who’s streaming availability has almost always been announced at the last minute in previous years. My guess is it gets renewed again, simply because the ratings have dropped since Matt Smith was replaced as the Doctor

by Peter Capaldi, and electing to lose its American audience would be a poor decision to make.

arshall Street may be the closest place to stop for quick bite to eat, but it’s not the only walkable option. Just a 10-minute stroll down Irving Avenue, across from Syracuse Stage/ SU Drama Complex, you can grab a classy but affordable meal at Phoebe’s Restaurant & Coffee Lounge.

William Eberhardt renovated and opened the location at 900 E Genesee St. as a bistro under the name Phoebe’s Garden Café in 1976, according to the restaurant’s website. He installed the ornately carved bar that still stands in the restaurant today, and in 2004, the restaurant underwent another remodeling and a menu change. Phoebe’s Garden Café became Phoebe’s Restaurant & Coffee Lounge when a take-out counter for quick coffees and breakfast cakes was installed.

Inside, the atmosphere is dark and vintage.

The original tin ceiling is still intact and the dark red paint on the walls and paneling gives the room a delightful, old world feel.

I was seated by a window looking out into the street and at the Syracuse Stage/ SU Drama Complex. The small walled-in porch has a certain

Bostonian or London feel.

The server introduced the day’s specials, which included the daily hummus — chives and asparagus — as well as a seafood chowder with salmon, sea bass and tuna. Both the hummus and the chowder were pleasing. The hummus was a very natural consistency, flavorful and fresh. The seafood soup was hearty, creamy and perfect for the bitter Syracuse cold.

The menu admittedly did not have the largest selection, though I did happen to be eating from their mid-day menu, reserved for the hours between 4 and 6 p.m. Nevertheless, the selections they have are broad enough to appeal to a wide range of tastes. They had a classic burger and chicken sandwich, but they also had arborio crusted fried calamari and an artichoke sundried tomato Tuscan penne. There is also a sizeable beer and wine menu, including some local and regional brews.

For the entree, I ordered the sweet potato risotto, served with steamed garlic spinach and a choice of mushroom, shrimp or chicken, parmesan and a tangy balsamic sauce. The risotto was different from other risottos I’ve eaten — the sweet potato gave it a different flavor than traditional Milanese risotto, which is made

with chicken stock and parmesan. The spinach was steamed nicely — not too mushy and not too raw — and seasoned with the perfect amount of garlic and salt.

Perhaps because I was sitting by the window, I found my meal going cold faster than I anticipated, and I would have preferred it hotter than it was served. However, the portion size was modest but filling. Best of all, the price was not expensive and definitely affordable for a college student. The other items on the menu were similarly priced.

The dessert menu, again, is rather small and offered fairly basic options. I enjoyed a New Yorkstyle cheesecake with raspberry reduction and whipped cream. The cheesecake was fantastic, but I felt the raspberry tasted a little less fresh than I would have liked. It had that sweetness that only artificial and preserved fruit have, and while it was good, it wasn’t outstanding. The whipped cream was definitely not homemade.

Overall, Phoebe’s offers quality food for a decent price. While it doesn’t necessarily offer the biggest selection, the menu definitely caters to different palettes and allows people with all tastes to find something they will love. cmrussel@syr.edu

virginia paint to SU’s 12 and ultimately won the game around the basket.

“We struggled inside the whole game, but we really struggled in the first half,” SU head coach Jim Boeheim said in his postgame press conference, posted on Cuse. com. “You know our perimeter defense was OK, we struggled inside.”

Both teams got off to a slow offensive start before Virginia attacked Syracuse’s zone through the low post. The Cavaliers assisted on 12 of their 14 buckets before halftime, and were paced by 12 first-half points from Anthony Gill, all of them coming in the paint. Perrantes also contributed to UVA’s 37 points at the break, making three 3s on five attempts and collecting five assists.

But the Orange stayed in it, trailing 37-29 after 20 minutes, thanks in large part to Richardson. The freshman scored 11 first-half points while no other SU player had more than five, shooting 4-of-5 from the field and 3-of-4 from beyond the arc.

After the break, though, it was Gbinije carrying the Orange. He made three deep 3s — the last with an outstretched Brogdon in his face — and scored Syracuse’s first 11 points of the second half. Then Richardson went on a personal 5-0 run, hitting a midrange jump shot and a 3 off the dribble, before

recruiting conference, he said, “It’s kind of taboo to go back and recruit guys that you recruited.

If they decommit, that’s one thing but if they’re committed to Bowling Green, I can tell you I will not go after them.”

Foster’s main recruiter at Bowling Green was secondary coach Nick Monroe and earlier this week, Foster received an in-home visit from Monroe after his decommitment.

Jaquwan Nelson Nelson verbally committed to Syracuse while on his official visit, according to multiple media reports. He became the 19th member of SU’s 2016 recruiting class on Sunday.

Nelson committed to Miami on March 21, 2015 but decommitted from the Hurricanes following their coaching change.

Nelson joins Jamal Holloway and Kendall Coleman as the third defensive end commit in Syracuse’s 2016 class.

SU picked up seven verbal commitments this weekend as the Orange makes a final push before National Signing Day on Feb. 3.

The 6-foot-4, 230-pound Nelson is ranked with three stars and as the 51st best weak-side defensive end in the 2016 class, per Scout. He attends Fort Lauderdale (Florida) High School.

Syracuse is depleted at defensive end with the losses of Ron Thompson (declared for NFL Draft), Luke Arciniega (not using final year of eligibility) and potentially Amir Ealey and Qaadir Sheppard (indefinitely suspended). Brandon Ginnetti, a 2016 defensive end who was

a Tyler Roberson second-chance layup knotted the game at 47 with 8:19 to play.

To that point, SU had made 8-of-18 3s to stick with a Virginia team shooting 50 percent but increasingly bothered by the 2-3 zone. The Cavaliers missed their first six 3s of the second half. They committed a turnover on four straight possessions to let the Orange creep back into the game.

Like it did against Duke on Monday — and Wake Forest before that, and Boston College before that — Syracuse forced UVA into uncomfortable shots and uncharacteristic mistakes.

From there the teams settled into a back-and-forth contest. Brogdon hit backto-back 3s to put the Cavaliers up by seven.

Richardson answered with a 3 to cut it to four. A transition 3 from Cooney later cut the lead to three. A Perrantes 3 pushed it back to three. A Gbinije 3 chopped it in half, 60-57 Virginia with two minutes left.

But then Virginia scored four points without an Orange answer, and that’s what did the Orange in.

“We’ve played really good basketball throughout this three-game road trip, I thought we played well enough tonight to certainly have a chance,” Boeheim said.

“Brogdon, that’s what good players do, make those shots, and that was the difference in the game.” jcdoug01@syr.edu | @dougherty_jesse

previously committed to SU, decommitted due to the new coaching staff. Kenny Carter and Jake Pickard, both redshirt freshmen, are the only other returning defensive ends on the roster.

Rashad Smith Class of 2016 safety/outside linebacker Rashad Smith flipped his commitment from Florida Atlantic to Syracuse, he announced in a tweet Sunday morning.

Smith is the 20th member of SU’s 2016 recruiting class with a week and a half until Signing Day. Smith is the eighth player in the class from Florida. Smith was recruited as an outside linebacker, according to Scout.com.

He joines Andrew Armstrong and Kenneth Ruff as linebackers in the Orange’s 2016 recruiting class. The Homestead (Florida) High School product is ranked with three stars and as the 135th best outside linebacker in the 2016 class, according to 247Sports.com’s composite rankings.

Devin Butler Butler verbally committed to Syracuse, he announced in a tweet Sunday morning.

He is the 21st member of the Orange’s 2016 recruiting class.

Butler is being recruited as a wide receiver and also wants to run track at SU, according to Syracuse.com. The 6-foot-3, 195-pound Frederick Douglass (Maryland) High School product is ranked with three stars, per Scout.com. He’s also ranked as the 99th best athlete in the 2016 class, per 247Sports.com’s composite rankings.

Syracuse’s 2016 class includes athletes Moe Neal and Sean Riley, both of whom could play wide receiver or running back. Wide receiver Sadiq Palmer’s offer was pulled by the new coaching staff.

Butler was previously committed to Maryland, but decommitted following the Terrapins’ coaching change. UMD recruited him as a defensive back. Butler also had an offer from Temple.

Offensive tackle Michael Clark, who pledged to Syracuse on Saturday, was also previously committed to Maryland. pmschwed@syr.edu | @pschweds

What we learned from SU’s 8-point loss to Cavaliers

By Jesse Dougherty senior staff writer

Syracuse couldn’t become the first team to beat No. 13 Virginia at home this season, falling 73-65 at John Paul Jones Arena on Sunday night.

Here’s what we learned from the game.

1. A well-balanced offense like Virginia’s is the Orange’s worst nightmare

Basketball logic would say the best offense against Syracuse’s 2-3 zone is one that can shoot the lights out. A glance at SU’s rotation — with no one over 6 feet 9 inches playing meaningful minutes — would say the best offense against this Syracuse 2-3 is one that pounds the ball inside.

But ACC play has debunked both of those

from page 16

“We’ve struggled all year in there,”

theories, and Sunday showed us that the best formula to beat the Orange’s quick-sliding zone is a healthy balance of perimeter and post play.

The Cavaliers scored 30 points in the paint, 16 of them from Anthony Gill, and made 8-of-18 3s.

Syracuse has defended the perimeter well in conference play and, at times, had some success defending proven interior scorers.

But a mix of the two was simply too much for the zone to handle.

“We cannot play defense inside, I think that’s pretty painfully obvious by now. Guys that average five points a game get 18, 19, 20 against us,” Boeheim said in his postgame press conference, posted by Cuse TV. 2.SU’s offense can function without Trevor Cooney, but it can’t do enough to win

Syracuse made 13 3s and scored a respect-

Boeheim said. “We’re giving centers AllAmerican years. We cannot play defense inside. I think that’s pretty painfully obvious right now. Guys that average five points a game, average 18, 19, 20 against us.

able 65 points against a tough Virginia defense, but Cooney’s eight points stand out on the final box score.

Michael Gbinije and Malachi Richardson carried the Orange on offense, scoring 24 and 23 points, respectively, while Cooney shot 3-of13 from the field and 2-of-8 from 3. The fifthyear scored 14 points in a win over then-No. 20 Duke on Monday, but he’s yet to fully capture consistency this season, as evidenced by his down shooting performance against the Cavaliers. After scoring fewer than 10 points just once in 13 non-conference games, Cooney’s done so three times in eight conference games and it didn’t do his team any favors on Sunday.

3. One thing is certain in the ACC (or even in the country) this season

“Our perimeter defense has been pretty good all year. Our inside defense is just not existent.”

Boeheim also added that the poor interior defense forced the guards to help inside, which allowed the Cavaliers to shoot 8-of-18

It’s been a crazy college basketball season, and that hasn’t stopped at the ACC. But if there’s anything college basketball can hang its hat on after close to a month of conference basketball season, it’s that Virginia winning at home is one of the surest bets around the nation.

UVA is now 10-0 at John Paul Jones Arena this season, with wins over West Virginia, Villanova, California, Notre Dame, Miami, Clemson and now Syracuse. To go undefeated at home this season, the Cavaliers will have to mow down Boston College, Virginia Tech, North Carolina State, North Carolina and Louisville the rest of the way.

Boeheim was close. Virginia’s home record is 40-3 since the start of the 2013-14 season. jcdoug01@syr.edu | @dougherty_jesse

from behind the arc.

Malcolm Brogdon and London Perrantes’ 3-pointers were the dagger The senior, Brogdon, hit two 3-pointers in the span of 31 seconds to take a onepoint lead up to seven with 5:17 to play.

Perrantes hit another 3 from the corner with 2:42 left to double a 3-point lead. Syracuse never got closer than three points again.

“We had a couple opportunities there, but Brogdon stepped up, he had two big 3s,” Boeheim said. “That’s what seniors do.

That really was, I thought, the difference in the game. I thought we played much better defense in the second half. I think we forced about nine or 10 turnovers in the second half with our defense. I thought the difference was Brogdon made the two 3s and Perrantes made the 3 in the corner.

Those are big shots.”

Syracuse needed to shoot well, and did Gbinije and Richardson continually kept Syracuse in the game with their longrange shooting. Gbinije had the first 11 points of the second half, hitting a couple 3-pointers from well beyond the arc. As the game ticked under a minute, the two hit back-to-back 3s in a matter of seconds to trim a nine-point lead down to three with 29 seconds to play. Still, the Cavaliers were able to hold on to the win.

“Well you have to shoot the ball,” Boeheim said. “Virginia doesn’t give you much inside.

You’ve got to move the ball. I thought we moved the ball. We made them change, switch or help. We got some open looks. You have to make some of those shots.” sblum@syr.edu | @SamBlum3

Recruiting roundup: 4 commit to SU on Sunday

By Paul Schwedelson asst. sports editor

Syracuse’s 2016 recruiting class jumped from 14 members to 21 within a 24-hour span this weekend. National Signing Day looms just 10 days away and the Orange’s new coaching staff made a splash while players were on official visits.

Safety Evan Foster, defensive end Jaquwan Nelson, outside linebacker Rashad Smith and athlete Devin

Butler all pledged to SU on Sunday.

Here’s a look at the Orange’s four most recent commitments.

Evan Foster Foster verbally committed to Syracuse and announced his decision in a tweet Sunday morning.

The Michigan recruit decommitted from Bowling Green after head coach Dino Babers and six of his assistants moved to SU. Now, Foster is reunited with Babers and

members of his staff.

He became the 18th member of the Orange’s 2016 recruiting class and the fourth defensive back, joining safety Devon Clarke, cornerback Carl Jones and safety Scoop Bradshaw. Foster is ranked with three stars and as the 137th best safety in the 2016 class, according to Scout.com. He also had offers from Purdue, Toledo and Eastern Michigan.

“I love the gear and the oppor-

tunity for me,” Foster said in a Twitter direct message. “Great living arrangements, one of the best I’ve seen.”

The 6-foot-2, 195-pound safety from West Bloomfield (Michigan) High School decommitted from Bowling Green on Dec. 7 and wrote in a tweet, “I am reopening my recruiting to ensure I end up in the best place for me.”
