How 3 SU professors helped prove Albert Einstein right

Britny Kabic was known for being a bowling rockstar — a title she was both embarrassed and proud of.

Kabic’s parents even have a shrine dedicated to all of her bowling achievements in their house, said Lani Kineret, one of Kabic’s closest friends who got to see the shrine first-hand when she visited Kabic’s house for the first time.

Kabic, a sophomore advertising major at Syracuse University, died inside Walnut Hall on Friday night. The incident is not being treated as a criminal matter, according to a statement from Department of Public Safety Chief Bobby Maldonado.

Kineret, a sophomore policy studies and women and gender studies dual major, first met Kabic during their freshman year at SU when they attended the Home to the Dome event as part of Orientation Weekend. Kineret’s roommate hadn’t shown up on the first day and since Kineret is from California, she didn’t know anyone there.

Kabic approached Kineret at the event, determined to be her friend, and after that, the two were “attached at the hip” — so much so that they were often mistaken as roommates.

The adventures between Kabic and Kineret started when they went to their first college party together. From then on, they got into a lot of antics on floor 20 of Lawrinson Hall, Kineret said.

During the spring semester of their freshman year, Kabic and Kineret both decided to rush sororities, and after they got bids — Kabic to Delta Delta Delta and Kineret to Gamma Phi Beta — they bonded during the sorority pledging period.

“She got me into watching American Horror Story every Wednesday,” Kineret said. “We couldn’t go out, but we’d sit in bed and watch it after going to see kabic page 6

what does this discovery mean?

The detection of gravitational waves means that scientists now have a way to prove Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity, which states that the force of gravity arises from the curvature of space and time. The discovery — which originated from two black holes colliding — also confirms what scientists have theorized about the nature of black holes.

Hundreds of scientists around the world contributed to the disocovery of gravitational waves, which were detected after two black holes collided. Three of those professors are from Syracuse University’s physics department.

uncan Brown was sitting at the breakfast table checking emails on his iPad when he found out that the research team he was a part of had discovered an Albert Einstein theory to be true.

Though the preliminary assessment showed the data was not affected by a glitch, Brown said he thought it was just a system test. Brown and his team researchers conducted a series of tests, such as instrumental checks and statistical and computational analyses on the data detected.

“Gradually, over that week I began to convince myself that it was real,” he said.

Brown is one of three Syracuse University professors who were among a group of scientists that successfully observed and recorded, for the first time in history, the sound of two black holes colliding, producing ripples known as gravitational waves. The discovery proves the last part of Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity, according to The New York Times.

Peter Saulson, Stephan Ballmer and Brown — all professors in the physics department at SU — collaborated with scientists around the world as part of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), a project involving hundreds of scientists that seeks to detect gravitational waves.

LIGO is operated by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the California Institute of Technology.

SU has the oldest LIGO Scientific Collaboration lab group outside the LIGO labs at MIT and CalTech.

Researchers detected the gravitational waves on Sept. 14, 2015 at 5:51 EDT. After months of data checking, members of LIGO and scientists in the see gravity page 6

Freshman documents humanity through film

By Gabrielle Hughes staff writer

Moving through 13 childhood homes could make anyone want to stay in one place, but not Abigail Jones. A nomad at heart, she plans on seeing the world and discovering the diversity within for the rest of her life.

Jones, a freshman film major in the College of Visual and Performing Arts at Syracuse University, said she has a fascination with the human spirit. She moved around the country for her father’s career in the military, experiencing almost every aspect of American culture.

Although adjusting to the customs of each community’s individual culture was a challenge, Jones said the key to embracing change is keeping an open mind.

“Each community is different and has its own struggles and benefits,” Jones said. “God is the one who has brought me here and to all of the people I’ve met.”

In the midst of frequent change, Jones’ devotion to her faith and desire to capture the genuine essence of human char-

acter remained constant, she said.

This sparked her interest in bringing natural beauty to the public eye through film. She decided to share human stories through a documentary format because fictional characters could only go so deep in terms of displaying authentic emotion. However, living subjects are consistently evolving and learning.

One of Jones’ projects highlighted her pilgrimage from classic Midwestern Kansas, slow southern Georgia and metropolitan Washington, D.C., to Southern California and even the Syracuse tundra, she said. After collaborating with San Diego musician, Je’kob, Jones’ film gathered about 1,000 views on Vimeo.

The project’s achievement, and the key to any successful final product, stems from taking time to break away from the work and decompress, Jones said. “(Creative people) are so invested in our work, which is something beautiful,” Jones said.

“However, there is a point where this process can be dangerous and consume you.” ghhughes@syr.edu

Students selected for leadership retreat

By Bianca Castro contributing writer

Sixteen students were selected from 186 applications to participate in a Syracuse University workplace preparedness program this year.

As a part of the Dulye Leadership Experience (DLE), students will travel to the Berkshires, a rural region in the mountains of western Massachusetts, from April 1-3 to engage with SU faculty, professional executives and DLE alumni to further individual student skills.

The three-day retreat was founded in 2008 by SU alumna Linda Dulye, a Class of 1977 graduate, who said she felt inspired to do more than just write a check to the university. She said she wanted to give back and assist in developing students’ interper-

sonal and professional skills.

“Students are graduating with a lot of debt, a hard job market and high expectations,” Dulye said. “When I look at the curriculum, (colleges) do a lot to prepare students within their major but not a lot to prepare them for the work force and to get hired.”

Dulye said she promises to make students desired employees through the initiative. At the Berkshires, students participate in a variety of learning sessions — from getting success tips from recent graduates to learning business dining etiquette, Dulye said.

“The program is designed to be unique and different than any other program,” Dulye said. “It’s designed to shape student discovery, decipher who students are from a professional standpoint and what makes them so invalu-

able to employers.”

Duyle said she wants selection into the program to be balanced and to include individuals who know what they want to do and others who do not.

During the selection process, DLE leadership chooses 28 students to proceed to the interview portion, Duyle said.

Phil Kramer, a junior economics major and 2016 DLE participant, said the interview portion was introspective. “(The panel) wants you to think of who you are,” said Kramer, who is also the comptroller of SU’s Student Association. “The goal was to reveal something real and honest about yourself, and luckily they saw something in me.”

Uche Imoka, a senior communication and rhetorical studies major, said she felt enthusiastic

and honored to be accepted into the DLE. Ninety percent of students who complete the program are hired for a job or internship within three months, according to the DLE website.

“When I did get in, I knew this was an opportunity I needed to take advantage of,” Imoka said.

“The people I’ve seen that have been in the program are doing well, and that gives me hope since I will be graduating soon.”

It takes 11 months to prepare for the retreat, Duyle said. Preparation for the event is done by volunteers because there is a tremendous amount of comradery in the DLE, she added.

“We have built a family from the DLE,” Dulye said, “The best part is that our students have great careers representing Syracuse University.”

President Barack Obama will be the keynote speaker at the Syracuse University-sponsored Toner Prize award celebration in Washington, D.C. on March 28, the university announced Friday.

The Toner Prize for Excellence in Political Reporting, which is sponsored by SU’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, was created in 2009 and first awarded in 2010 to honor the memory of late Newhouse alumna and political reporter Robin Toner, who died in 2008 at the age of 54 from complications of colon cancer.

Study finds gender bias in teacher evaluations

By Stacy Fernandez staff writer

A recent study from researchers at the University of California, Berkeley found that students are more likely to have a negative bias toward female professors when completing course evaluations.

The study said gender biases, which varied based on factors including discipline and student gender, could affect objective practices like how quickly assignments were graded.

The biases could be large enough to cause effective instructors to receive lower evaluations than professors who, by other measures, were proven to be less effective, according to Inside Higher Ed.

23,001 The number of instructor evaluations analyzed by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley

“The truth is we systematically see women get lower grades, lower evaluations, lower ratings, and a lot of the research demonstrates that there are characteristics that are considered positive in men and considered negative in women,” said Charisse L’Pree, assistant professor of communications at Syracuse University.

L’Pree said the way to eliminate bias is to remove any reference to gender when it comes to child development. Even in the spectrum of expertise, being an expert

in a field is coded as masculine.

Libby Barlow, assistant vice president for institutional research and assessment at SU, said her office does not do any kind of analysis on evaluations for two reasons.

The first, she said, is that the evaluations are done as a service to departments, and each department owns their data, adding that the data is then theirs to analyze and interpret. The second reason is that evaluation questions vary across departments and somesee gender

University professor co-authors global warming study

By Katie Oran contributing writer

Robert Moucha, an assistant professor of Earth sciences at Syracuse University, is a co-author of a recent study that found that a portion of the East Antarctic ice sheet was at a significantly lower elevation 3 million years ago — during the mid-Pliocene Warm Period — than it is today.

The decrease in elevation resulted in the grounding line — the point at which glaciers begin to float, rather than resting on bedrock — retreating, which raised the global sea level, the study also found.

“The stability of the ice sheet is affected by the position of the grounding line, a line that separates ice that floats from ice that rests on the bedrock,” Moucha said. “Simply, the more bedrock the ice sheet is supported by, the more stable it is.”

from page 3

obama Obama will follow in the footsteps of former Secretary of State and current presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who was the keynote speaker at last year’s celebration.

Obama is the second sitting-president to speak at an SU event. The first was Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964 when he gave his famous “Gulf of Tonkin” speech during the Vietnam War. Vice President Joe Biden, an SU College of Law alumnus, presented the keynote speech the year before Clinton, making Obama the third member of his own administration to be named keynote speaker.

Biden also made an ode to his law school alma mater when he visited the SU campus in November to promote “It’s On Us,” the White House’s campaign to combat sexual assault.

Moucha said sea level rise has enormous societal implications, and that it is important to understand how these ice sheets have responded to past periods of warming.

In the paper, Moucha — along with other co-authors from Harvard University, Columbia University, Pennsylvania State University, the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Université du Québec à Montréal and the University of Chicago — looked at elevation changes over the last 3 million years of the bedrock on which the Antarctic ice sheets rest.

In past studies, researchers assumed that bedrock elevations have not changed, and that they were similar to the elevations seen today, Moucha said.

Scientists have known that convective mantle flow, or flowing rock on the interior of the earth, deforms the surface of the planet, and that these deformations leave

Former U.S Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius delivered the keynote address the year before Biden, according to the release.

Toner had a long career in political journalism after graduating from SU in 1976.

She held positions at publications such as the Charleston Daily Mail, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and The New York Times. She was the first female chief political correspondent at The Times. During her 25-year role as correspondent, she covered five presidential campaigns.

The Toner Prize is awarded annually by Newhouse to political reporters who exhibit journalistic quality and standards on par with Toner. The prize includes a $5,000 cash reward.

The celebration will start at 6 p.m. at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in D.C. atorrens@syr.edu

hundreds of miles of gently rolling surface deflections of the bedrock, Moucha said.

The more bedrock the ice sheet is supported by, the more stable it is.

The paper used models of these bedrock deformations to study how the Antarctic ice sheets responded to these geological changes and climate forcing over the last 3-4 million years, Moucha said.

During the mid-Pliocene warm period, mean global temperatures were between 2 and

gender bias times even within departments.

“There is no question that shows up on all evaluation forms, which means a responsible analysis of systemic bias would be pretty hard,” Barlow said.

Before coming to SU, Barlow said she concluded that any apparent bias more likely ref lects characteristics of the respondents themselves, not characteristics of the evaluation form.

The authors of the study performed advanced statistical analyses of five years worth of data. They analyzed 23,001 evaluations of 379 instructors completed by 4,423 students in six mandatory first-year classes at a French university, according to Inside Higher Ed. The French data set, according to Inside

3 degrees Celsius warmer than pre-industrial levels, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Additionally, sea level was at least 15-25 meters higher than it is today, according to IPCC. This history can help scientists picture what future sea level rise will look like, Moucha said. The United States Environmental Protection Agency estimates sea level rise connected with global climate change to be between 1-4 feet by the year 2100.

The study may change the way scientists calculate estimates for potential sea level rise, Moucha said.

“In a sense, this past scenario can perhaps offer us a glimpse of what to expect, but we still need to refine the range and modeling of ice sheets under different climate scenarios,” Moucha said kaoran@syr.edu

Higher Ed, measured teaching effectiveness by student performance on an anonymously graded final, which found no significant difference between the effectiveness between female and male teachers. The United States’ data set did not measure teaching effectiveness.

The group also applied and tested the evaluations of four sections of an online course in the U.S. in which there was a male and a female instructor who switched their identities.

The female professor used a male name while the male professor used a female name. The class was online, so students never saw or heard their instructor.

In both the U.S. and French data there was statistically a significant difference between the rating of female and male instructors, with the perceived male instructors getting considerably higher average ratings, according to Inside Higher Ed. sfern100@syr.edu

editorial board

Campus should take time to reflect In this past week, the campus community has witnessed Syracuse University being ranked as a top tier research institution, the groundbreaking finding of gravitational waves and the announcement of President Barack Obama as the keynote speaker at an SU event in Washington, D.C. next month.

But the university community also experienced the passing of one of our own.

Britny Kabic, a sophomore advertising major in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, died Friday night inside Walnut Hall. Kabic, who was originally from Hatboro, Pennsylvania, was a sorority sister and proud sports enthusiast. The Department of Public Safety and the Syracuse Police Department have made clear that the incident is not of a criminal nature and that there is no threat to the public.

If there is anything that can be gained from Kabic’s death, it should be the sentiment that those enrolled at Syracuse University should always come before the institution itself — a notion that has the potential to be clouded by the heightened recognition of SU’s recent accomplishments.

While it is important to acknowledge these advancements and the ways in which they will prove transformative for the university moving forward, it is integral to our humanity as one university that each student, staff and faculty member take a step back, reflect and pay tribute to Kabic as the embodiment of a rounded and engaged Syracuse University student: an Orange fan, sorority sister and our classmate.

The faces of students are sometimes eclipsed by the image of the university. While the university is not to blame, it is imperative to

scribble

have a shared understanding that as much progress as the school makes as an academic institution, it is also home to more than 20,000 students.

SU may be gaining traction on a national basis, but it must be maintained within the campus atmosphere that these honors cannot outweigh Kabic’s death at this time.

Like many of us, Britny Kabic shared an online photo of her acceptance letter to Syracuse University in December 2013 with the caption expressing that she had never been happier in her life. And like all of us, her life should not be quickly mourned and easily forgotten.

There will be a time to celebrate the successes of the past week as a collective university body, but it is important that we remain respectfully conscious of the fact that the time is not now.

Repurposing buildings can revitalize Syracuse, local economy

B

uilding on the foundations of past ideas, old and decrepit Syracuse structures are being recycled into new business prospects.

Long-abandoned, the West Brothers Knitting Co. factory in Syracuse will soon undergo a 15-month-long renovation process before reopening as an apartment block. The residence, which will be called Harbor Street Lofts, will contain 40 separate housing units and the building, once a victim of the industrial flight that Syracuse knows painfully well, will have a fresh face in the area.

The decision made by Edgemere Development Inc. and Sutton Real Estate Co. LLC to repurpose the former knitting factory is an excellent example of ways the city can work to get back on its feet, with private businesses profiting along the way. In any city, the use of space is of vital concern and if Syracuse is to succeed, it must continue to attract projects that aim to do so in a progressive fashion.

The benefit of the deal is clear for the community, considering

35 of the 40 apartments will be reserved for low-income families who will pay a reduced rent ranging from $575 to $750 a month, according to a statement earlier this month from Sutton. By comparison, the remaining five apartments will be sold at the market value range from $825 to $975 each month.

The fact that the companies are providing affordable living spaces could either be a conscious effort to give back or simply an avenue to decrease costs. The current apartment project is estimated to cost $11 million, but a small interest loan of $2.76 million — a part of a New York state initiative to create affordable housing — has driven down the financial burden.

However, considering Edgemere’s other projects include renovations of Syracuse’s Valley Vista apartment complex for elderly and disabled tenants, the companies’ plan seems to be a

gesture that is both profitable to the community and the business.

John Yinger, a trustee professor of public administration and economics at Syracuse University’s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, explains that the problem is a difficult one for the city and state governments to tackle.

“All cities have to look for the best way to utilize their limited resources,” said Yinger. “Subsidizing is not necessarily the most efficient way to allocate money into alleviating poverty. Concentrated efforts, rather than independent projects, yield more results.”

He added that cities must focus their resources on aiding the people of their municipality with as little investment as possible because the city has other concerns and relief initiatives that are all competing for funding.

Despite the fact that the city’s other priorities could spur potential shortcomings, projects like these are vital to rebuilding Syracuse for numerous reasons.

Creating stable and cost-effective housing for low-income families

presents not only a reason for people to stay in Syracuse, but an attainable goal in improving their lives and living conditions. And by expanding low-cost housing in this way, it will be possible to bring people back from the suburbs and reduce the urban sprawl that lead to a host of problems for the city.

The estimated cost of the ongoing project to transform a former factory into an

apartment complex, according

to Syracuse.com

The concept of repurposing old spaces is certainly not new for Syracuse, and housing is not the only way that the city’s many abandoned buildings can and have been reintegrated into the community and the local economy.

We have seen the success of multiple ventures of this nature, including Armory Square, whose buildings remained in a similar forgotten state decades ago.

Within the past year alone, there

$11 million

have been projects to renovate the historic Hotel Syracuse in addition to the Clinton Plaza apartments.

Even SU cashed in on the renovation wave with the Nancy Cantor Warehouse, which has been occupied by the university for 10 years.

If Syracuse is looking for ways to expand, revitalize and transform its environment and local market, it must look no further than its many forsaken buildings. The city should bring people back to the city with low-income living places to break the cycle of gentrification. In this way, Syracuse can reuse existing spaces to creatively house entrepreneurial ventures, rather than authorizing the construction of an economically oppressive mall that continues to cast its shadow over its surroundings.

Syracuse is a city with plenty of potential, but it will only see success if it makes progress by constructively using its past as a base for the future.

gravity Virgo Collaboration in Europe published a peer-reviewed journal article on Thursday.

Brown’s testing yielded a final result on Oct. 5, 2015, which confirmed the existence of gravitational waves.

“I will admit I cried. This is 17 years of my life to see that signals standing so far above the noise background,” Brown said. “It was an incredible moment.”

Most of Brown’s life has been working toward this discovery, but he said he tries to find time for his family. He said one cannot be happy at work if one is unhappy at home.

“I have a 3-year-old daughter,” Brown said. “She’s too young to care about gravitational waves right now. Either she wants to hear children’s stories or you read her children’s stories.”

Brown said his wife knows him so well that she can correlate the dates in their relationship to what was happening in the LIGO project.

When asked about the future of LIGO, Brown said this is only just the beginning.

“The future is to probe the nature of gravity, which is one of the least understood forces in the universe.”

Peter Saulson Saulson received the news of LIGO detection of gravitational waves on the night of Sept. 14, 2015, after celebrating Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year.

“My email inbox was just a full of whole bunch of messages with the same subject line, ‘Very interesting event on ER8,’” Saulson said.

Within LIGO, Saulson’s job is known as “detect characterization,” a procedure that assesses the authenticity of signals detected, making sure signals do not originate as a result of malfunctioning.

Along with postdoctoral students and a small subgroup of LIGO Scientific Collaboration lab at SU, Saulson made a catalogue

listing all different ways in which interferometers make signals so that his team can make a comparison between the list, and the waves observed after the first detection.

His team checked various kinds of false signal mechanisms and ruled them all out, validating the signal was not from malfunctioning of the LIGO devices.

Saulson subsequently submitted the data to the detection committee put together by LIGO for further screening.

Saulon’s relationship with LIGO traces back to 1981 after he finished his Ph.D. in physics at Princeton University.

(The job) is really immersive to the point that, you know, you sometimes dream about it.

Stefan Ballmer professor of physics

missioning leader at the LIGO Livingston Observatory for a year in 2000.

Saulson returned to SU and became physics department chair in July 2010 and served until June 2013.

Stefan Ballmer Four days before the gravitational waves were originally detected, Stefan Ballmer flew to the LIGO Observatory in Hanford, Washington, to fine tune the LIGO interferometer, a machine built to detect gravitational waves, at the lab. He worked throughout the weekend.

Around midnight on Sept. 14, he left for the night and kept the machine running.

Around 2:51 a.m. PDT, the machine detected the gravitational waves.

He found out about the potential discovery when returned to the observatory in the morning.

“Sometimes you gotta be lucky,” Ballmer said.

Ballmer described the discovery as “a new start.”

Born and raised in Switzerland, Ballmer said he was a boy who was fond of build

He worked at MIT alongside Rainer Weiss, the physicist who first suggested building LIGO in 1972. There, Saulson helped consult with engineers to plan out what would be involved in starting the gravity wave interferometer project, which became a first blueprint of LIGO. He moved to Syracuse in the 1990s when he stumbled upon an advertisement from the SU physics department, which was undergoing a major expansion and looking for five new faculty members. He became an associate professor shortly thereafter.

“I found Syracuse — particularly the physics department — to be a tremendous community (and) very supportive place where I never wanted to leave once I came here,” Saulson said.

He then moved to Livingston, Louisiana, where he served as an interferometer com-

ing model airplanes. He became fascinated with science through the TV series “Cosmos” with Carl Sagan during the 1980s. At the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Ballmer said he became so involved in theoretical physics and cosmology that he skipped chemistry class to attend a class on general relativity.

After obtaining his master’s degree in physics, Ballmer moved to the U.S. in 2001 to pursue his Ph.D. at MIT — eager to be part of the LIGO project.

Ballmer spent a significant amount of time working at the LIGO Hanford Observatory. From June to July 2014, he took a research leave to work full time there, and spent about one-third of the last year away from Syracuse.

Ballmer was in charge of integrating the various subsystems like laser, position and alignment control of all mirrors into a working interferometer, having to achieve the desired interferometer sensitivity.

Ballmer said he worked for about 16 hours a day and mostly at night, since there are less human activities in the environment then. ssugiyam@syr.edu | @SatoshiJournal

the gym.”

At the end of every day, Kineret said they would talk and vent about their days and anything stressful going on in their lives.

“I knew her before joining Greek life, and she was the best person to talk to because she was quiet and she really listened,” Kineret said.

When Kineret was returning home to California after the end of her freshman year, she flew out of Philadelphia — which is close to where Kabic was from — so that they could go to dinner together and explore the city.

“We did a lot in one year,” Kineret said.

“It’s hard to sum up.”

Kineret said she remembered one time last year when she used a face wash that burned her skin. The reaction to the face wash was so bad that Kineret said she didn’t want to leave her dorm room to go to the dining hall.

As a result, Kabic attempted to make a meal out of the snacks she had in her room.

One of the snacks, however, gave Kineret food poisoning.

“Britny said, ‘That’s what I get for being nice!’” Kineret recalled.

She added that it obviously wasn’t Kabic’s fault she got food poisoning, but Kabic took the blame for it any way because that’s the kind of person she was.

“She never had anything bad to say about anyone,” Kineret said. “She was probably one of the smartest, most put-together people I knew. It’s hard to think about — putting her whole life into words.”

Beth Egan, one of Kabic’s professors who teaches advertising in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, described Kabic as very sweet and quiet, but always engaged in class.

Egan remembered Kabic was very athletic and always came to class with a bottle of Muscle Milk, looking like she was ready for a run.

For an assignment in one of her classes, Egan said students were told to write about the last time they were engaged in a creative task. Kabic wrote about trying to buy Christmas presents for her parents.

“I really wanted it to be something special and different than ever before,” Kabic wrote for the assignment.

Kabic wrote about walking around the mall window-shopping for good gift ideas.

When that ultimately failed, Kabic wrote that she resorted to Googling “unique Christmas presents.”

When that didn’t work either, Kabic wrote that she thought about what her parents liked and eventually decided on buying her parents spots in a wine tasting class.

“I was very happy with my approach to this task and my parents really enjoyed it too,” Kabic wrote. smswann@syr.edu | @saramswann

PARTNERS IN ENERGY SUNY-ESF Ph.D. candidate will advise US Secretary of Energy on US-China relations

By Taylor Watson staff writer

A

Ph.D. candidate at SUNY-ESF was recently appointed to a two-year term on the National Coal Council, the advisory panel to the United States Secretary of Energy.

Xiaoliang Yang, a Ph.D. candidate in environmental and natural resources policy at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, will officially assume his role on the panel at a meeting this April in Washington, D.C., said David Sonnenfeld, Yang’s dissertation supervisor and a professor in SUNY-ESF’s Department of Environmental Studies.

The role of the National Coal Council (NCC) is to advise the secretary of energy on general policy matters relating to coal and the coal industry, Sonnenfeld said.

Yang is currently a research analyst and Carbon Capture and Storage team global leader for the World Resources Institute (WRI), according to a press release from SUNY-ESF. The WRI is a global research institution that works to sustain natural resources, according to the WRI website.

As a research associate at WRI, Yang plays a critical role in facilitating communication about the use of clean energy between the U.S. Department of Energy and the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People’s Republic of China, Sonnenfeld said.

Yang’s experience working in the environmental indus-

try with scientists and government leaders regarding clean coal use both in the U.S. and China led to his position on the NCC, Sonnenfeld said.

“He will bring an international perspective to the group,” Sonnenfeld said. “It is pretty extraordinary for an advanced Ph.D. student to hold such a prominent position.”

He added that Yang is the only SUNY-ESF student or graduate to serve on the NCC advisory panel.

Since intercultural communication can be difficult and the stakes to have positive collaboration and communication between the U.S. and China are high, Sonnenfeld said it is valuable to have someone who is able to communicate an international perspective about the development of new clean coal technology.

“This is a very critical area of research, as the U.S. and China are the world’s two largest greenhouse gas emitters,” Sonnenfeld said.

Both countries have policies to transition to non-fossil fuel sources of energy, but coal continues to play a significant role in producing energy, Sonnenfield said.

Yang will work to develop the technology to be able to utilize coal in a more environmentally friendly way during that transition period, he added.

In addition to pursuing his Ph.D. at SUNY-ESF, Yang is also a master’s degree student in the public administration program at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University, Sonnenfield said.

Yang began his higher education in China with a degree in biotechnology. He then studied environmental science at Pace University before coming to SUNY-ESF, Sonnenfeld said.

Yang was awarded a grant by the National Science Foundation in March 2013 for his doctoral studies, according to the NSF website.

His doctoral dissertation research project examines the policy rationales, mechanisms and effectiveness of the Advanced Coal Technology Consortium of the United States-China Clean Energy Research Center, according to the award abstract.

Yang’s research project will “develop models of collaborative, international technology innovation that can be used in the analysis of policy options for clean energy technology development,” according to the abstract.

Additionally, the key findings of the dissertation will help the “development of large-scale, low-carbon technologies and energy systems, and will help strengthen international partnerships in clean energy technology innovation,” according to the abstract.

Yang will defend his dissertation, titled, “A Global Partnership Approach to Clean Energy Technology Innovation: Cooperation between China and the United States on Carbon Capture and Storage,” in April, according to the release.

Yang, who is currently out of the country, could not be reached for comment. tnwatson@syr.edu

GRAMMY GOLD

Tonight marks the 58th Grammy Awards, honoring the best of the year in music. Though she’s a self-proclaimed indie music snob, music columnist Emera Riley takes a crack at predicting the awards. She tackles Song, Album and Record of the Year, as well as Best New Artist and Solo Pop Performance. It may be hard to catch a flight to Los Angeles at this point, but you can tune in as the Grammys are broadcast live at 8 p.m. on CBS from the Staples Center.

Who’s nominated:

D’Angelo and The Vanguard, “Really Love” Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars, “Uptown Funk” Ed Sheeran, “Thinking Out Loud” Taylor Swift, “Blank Space” The Weeknd, “Can’t Feel My Face”

Kendrick Lamar, “To Pimp a Butterfly” Chris Stapleton, “Traveller” Taylor Swift, “1989” The Weeknd, “Beauty Behind the Madness” Alabama Shakes, “Sound & Color”

Who should win:

Who should win:

Kendrick Lamar, “Alright” Taylor Swift, “Blank Space” Little Big Town, “Girl Crush” Wiz Khalifa ft. Charlie Puth, “See You Again” Ed Sheeran, “Thinking Out Loud”

Who should win:

If “To Pimp a Butterfly” doesn’t win, it’s highway robbery. Hailed as a top ten album of the year from multiple magazines — think NPR, Rolling Stone and SPIN — the album has been praised as a cutting-edge sound experience.

Lamar brings it all to the table: the beats, the heart and the lyrics. Unfortunately, Lamar has lost out before if the 2014 Macklemore apologizing incident is anything to go by. Here’s hoping the Grammys gets it right this year.

Although you probably haven’t heard “Really Love,” the song sounds like intimate rock and blues at its finest. It’s slick, it’s cool and there’s something incredibly sexy about the way it builds. It leaves listeners wanting more. Most of all, unlike the rest of the artists nominated, it feels less clean cut and perfectly packaged. D’Angelo and The Vanguard aren’t selling their look and it’s apparent — the song is all about the music.

“Girl Crush” is a well written song that tugs at the heartstrings. While it is country, there are no mentions of tractors, and it isn’t awful and autotuned. Although “Alright” is successful in its execution, it’s lyrically repetitive, and “Thinking Out Loud” sounds like any other Ed Sheeran song ever written. “Girl Crush” is subtle, as there’s no soaring notes or fanfare, but that’s kind of what makes it great. You’ll never get it out of your head and the cool thing is, you won’t want to.

Who should win:

Who should win:

This is a category that is filled with losers. Sam Hunt is a country, auto-tuned mess. Meghan Trainor’s so called “body positivity” is actually skinny shaming, which can be just as harmful. Tori Kelly is just as boring as her music and Courtney Barnett is an overhyped, Lucinda Williams knock-off, which leaves singer-songwriter James Bay. What Bay lacks in originality, he makes up for in the fact that his music doesn’t suck. “Let it Go” is both tender and beautiful, and “Hold Back the River” is pretty enjoyable, too.

four things to look for Weekend plans The Weeknd will make his Grammy stage debut performing songs from his album “Beauty Behind The Madness” and is nominated for seven awards.

Kelly Clarkson, “Piece by Piece” Florence and the Machine, “How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful” Mark Ronson, “Uptown Special” Taylor Swift, “1989” James Taylor, “Before This World”

Everybody has their guilty pleasure song and for most people at ‘Cuse it seems to be The Weeknd’s “Can’t Feel My Face.” For one thing, the song is incredibly addicting and say what you want about The Weeknd — the boy can sing. What’s interesting about him is his lack of a cookie-cutter approach. Unlike his challengers, nobody’s broken up with him, he’s not really falling in love and he’s not committing to the girl forever. The relationship is temporary, addictive and a little messed up.

Who should win: Florence and the Machine isn’t technically pop, but it doesn’t matter. “How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful,” is the kind of music I want played at my funeral. The songs sound like a diary entry and are an incredible return to her Lungs roots.

The lyrics are haunting and mesmerizing, a backdrop to the sick drum beats mixed with the fantastic trumpet solos. Think witchcraft. Compared to her auto-tuned, didn’t-actually-writethe-album competitors, she wins every time.

From comebacks to tributes to tattoos, this years Grammy Awards ceremony promises to entertain all audiences.

Top honors

Lady Gaga will perform a tribute to David Bowie. In preparation for the performance, she got a tattoo of the late singers face on her side.

Hello

Musicare’s person of the year, Lionel Richie, will be honored by Meghan Trainor, Demi Lovato, John Legend and Luke Bryan. Country artist Bryan will be coming to the Dome April 9.

Also making a comeback to the Grammy stage, Adele will perform a song from her album “25,” marking her first Grammy performance in four years.

Saturday Night Live cast is bringing show back to old standards

A

sk anybody how they feel about “Saturday Night Live,” and they’ll say something like, “I still like it, but it was so much better before the last cast left.”

It’s a fair opinion since Bill Hader, Kristen Wiig, Andy Samberg and the rest of the late 2000s-early 2010s cast set a

KYLE STEVENS

JUST LIKE, MY OPINION MAN ridiculously high standard for the show. Hader was the first male SNL cast member to be nominated for an Emmy since Eddie Murphy in 1983. Kristen Wiig had more

memorable characters than anyone: Target Lady, Gilly, Dooneese, Aunt Linda, Karina from the Californians and about 10 more.

Andy Samberg and the rest of The Lonely Island, who were also cast members for a few seasons, revolutionized digital shorts and made them as big a part of the show as

the live sketches. These headliners were backed up by a cast that would have been top billed in most other eras of the show.

Once these people fazed out, the show was bound for a lull. Some people were hired, some were fired, some writers became cast members and some cast members became

writers. From 2013 to 2015, the show hit many low points. Reviews of the show argued the writing was boring, the cast was too big and lacked star power. Ratings started dipping, and stronger competition in sketch TV comedy emerged in shows like “Key and Peele.”

‘Deadpool’ exceeds box office expectations in opening weekend

from page 9

stevens Seasons 39 and 40 were — to borrow a sports cliché — rebuilding years. The featured players changed dramatically from year to year, and the episodes were clunky because they didn’t have their own style yet.

However, the show had gone through plenty of tougher periods in the past, struggling with ratings and public opinion. But in the end, the show came away stronger after all its struggles. NBC would have to have been insane to consider cancelling the storied program. Saturday Night Live will always make a comeback.

A year ago, the SNL 40th Anniversary

ERIK BENJAMIN

not in the equation at all.

For comparison, the next closest R-rated film was Keanu Reeves’ 2003 “The Matrix Reloaded,” which made about 118.3 million opening weekend. After that, the next R-rated superhero film was Gerard Butler’s 2007 action movie “300,” which grossed just over $70 million its opening weekend.

“Deadpool” is a film firmly made by adults, for adults. Though superhero movies have drastically risen in popularity, “Deadpool” is different because there won’t be any toys or lunch boxes of him.

That wasn’t the goal.

“Deadpool” is a faithful adaptation of the comic book, warts and all. The overwhelming success of the film means comic book and

superhero movies are more than just a trend or a fad. Now, they’re the main attraction of filmgoing. Instead of necessarily targeting a niche audience, superhero movies are now attractions everyone can enjoy. Though it’s taken a few years, they no longer have to be watered down to be family fare or rely on toy sales for profit. The genre is strong enough to stand on its own and attract a fairly large audience.

One other notable aspect of Deadpool’s release is the fact it opened on Valentine’s Day weekend, the most romantic few days of the entire year. This is a genius scheduling because it targeted both single people and couples. “Deadpool” is a film where fans of the comics can come together and enjoy it.

More so, the stigma that comic book movies are only for nerds or guys has ended.

If a guy wanted to drag his girlfriend into “Deadpool,” there has been enough ground broken where she would likely be okay with

it, and vice versa. More so, the romantic aspects of the film are perfect for couples, while the action appeals to groups of people.

On paper, “Deadpool” had everything working against it with an R rating and a Valentine’s Day release date, but due to an effective marketing campaign that included promo videos and billboards and erased stigmas of superhero and comic book movies, it thrived. Not only should we expect to see a “Deadpool” sequel, but the amount of superhero movies coming out in the future will only increase. As long as the film is quality, flocks of people will come, and these films will feel more liberal in taking risks.

Special aired, breathing new life into the show and creating an audience willing to watch again.

This year, hosts helped to bring back that classic SNL feel. Chris Hemsworth, Dwayne Johnson and Taraji P. Henson episodes brought back traditional feelings of all-time favorite sketches, and the cast chemistry started becoming fun, different and very cohesive.

In a rare move, Lorne Michaels restrained himself from changing the cast much this past summer. Nobody got fired, and just one new face, Jon Rudnitsky, joined the cast.

Michaels realized the potential of the current group and bet on them growing together.

While not all of the cast members saw

their status rise at the same time, top guns like Kate McKinnon, Jay Pharoah and Vanessa Bayer have become more recognizable names. Plus, the likes of 22-year-old Pete Davidson and 48-year-old Leslie Jones have given the show a more diverse feel.

During the rebuilding seasons, Weekend Update transitions from Seth Meyers to Cecily Strong to Colin Jost and Michael Che were rocky. But after a year and a half together, Jost and Che have created a hilarious dynamic playing on Jost’s white bread character and the half-political, half-yomomma-joke-loving Michael Che. The best part of this season’s upswing is that it coincides with this crazy election season. In years with a presidential election,

SNL’s cold open for every show of the season seems to poke fun at the clowns running in real life. The political sketches are what they’re known for these days, and luckily the large cast can accommodate for the huge number of people actually running.

Recently, ratings have crept back up, and the show is looking good. You’ve probably seen the Ryan Gosling UFO sketch, the Adele family Thanksgiving video, or at least the Bern Your Enthusiasm masterpiece from last week, but I assure you the rest of the show is worth watching, too.

ver the weekend, comic book movie “Deadpool” crushed all expectations and grossed more than $135 million, making it the most successful R-rated opening of all-time. The success of the release, over Valentine’s Day weekend nonetheless, speaks to the exponential growth and acceptance of comic books and superheroes into the cultural zeitgeist.

Ryan Reynold’s performance in “Deadpool” is unique because unlike other successful superhero films, it earned an R-rating. In the past couple of years, most other superhero movies, such as “The Avengers” and “Iron Man,” have all been rated PG-13. “Deadpool” was deemed R by the MPAA because of “strong violence and language throughout, sexual content, and graphic nudity.” When you read that description, one does not think, “Oh, it’s R but my kid can handle it.” Here, children are

WHISKEY BUSINESS

Al’s Wine and Whiskey Lounge offers refined, flavor-filled hors d’oeuvres

By Casey Russell contributing writer

D

espite what the name might imply, Al’s Wine and Whiskey Lounge is not a place for the average Friday night out.

This is where you try a special cocktail made in-house, not where you grab a couple of pitchers. It’s where your parents take you and pay for that expensive cocktail, not where you choose the cheapest beer on tap.

Al’s Wine and Whiskey Lounge is in the heart of Syracuse’s downtown scene, Armory Square. Between Funk ‘n’ Waffles and Modern Malt, the entrance is easily missed between the two staple restaurants.

Once I actually found the door and stepped inside the restaurant, I was floored.

The room is long and skinny, with a small lounge in the front and cocktail tables in the back. It is very dark, but light punctuated the murkiness through the ceiling-high windows. The floor is covered in vintage-looking Persian rugs, and the lighting fixtures could have been salvaged from the ‘30s and ‘40s, with metal frames and glass lampshades.

Behind the bar, there is a 20-by-8-foot liqueur shelf. Every square inch of space has a bottle, and there are rolling library ladders (think the bookstore in Beauty and the Beast) to access higher shelves.

On the back side of the menu, there were a variety of traditional bar foods such as

quesadillas and nachos. But given the setting, these snacks incorporate adult flavors such as blue cheese, pecans and brie. On the front of the menu, Al’s offered up a wide selection of cheese and specialty meats.

I’ll admit, looking at the cheese selection at first was overwhelming. The meat selections were far easier to digest because there were only about eight options compared to the 16 or so cheeses.

I decided on prosciutto, serrano ham and fig chèvre. The plate was served with olive oil and balsamic, fresh-baked bread and raspberry and quince jellies. The bread was crispy and crunchy, but soft on the inside — my ideal bread. It was obviously freshly baked.

The ham and prosciutto looked and tasted incredibly similar, but after a few minutes of taste-testing and asking the chef which was which, I could differentiate. They were salty and savory, but the similar flavors were too much to handle at one time. I found myself eating small portions very slowly because they were so packed with flavor.

The fig chèvre is a goat cheese served with nuts and has a sweeter flavor than a typical goat cheese, or even cheese from a cow. Personally I like goat cheese, but many people don’t. I would recommend picky eaters or people who get nervous about trying new foods order something else.

The two jams served had different flavors, but worked well together. The raspberry paste was tangy, and its intense flavor

worked well with and tamed the creamy goat cheese. The quince jam, on the other hand, was a much more mellow flavor that emphasized the goat cheese flavor.

When eating the meat and cheese plates, I recommend mixing and matching meat, cheese and jam combinations on the bread.

Each combination will yield a different flavor and make the plate even more enjoyable.

Finishing off with a nice glass of ice water

hit the spot for me, but anyone over 21 should indulge in one of their alcoholic beverages.

My dish cost about $16. Some might argue that price is outrageous for cold cuts.

However, the quality of this dish is well worth the cost. Al’s Wine and Whiskey is the perfect place for a family gathering or a foodie just trying to get some high quality hors d’oeuvres. cmrussel@syr.edu

boston college court,” Boeheim said. “But we’re up three because we’re 3-for-13. We have to make 3s.”

With the shot clock winding down with 13:02 to play, Richardson held the ball being heavily guarded by Daryl Hicks. But he did a cross-over move and faded away as he made a 3-pointer falling to the ground.

The next play he knifed through the defense to find Lydon, who laid in a wideopen attempt. After he found Lydon two minutes later, Richardson started running back on defense before it even went in.

“I knew it was good before I even threw it to him,” Richardson said. “He was rhythm, he was wide open and he had just got a couple buckets. I knew it was going in.”

When the run was over, it had spanned just four minutes and nine seconds of game time.

dailyorange.com sports@dailyorange.com

Syracuse was up, 60-45 — a lead that would never get to less than nine the rest of the way.

There have been long stretches this season where Lydon has been hesitant to shoot. On Sunday, he was begging for the ball. There have been stretches this season where Richardson has been unable to make shots. On Sunday, he hit big ones while being heavily guarded and created five more makes with his passing.

It added up to a win with the 14-point final margin being the exact difference in SU’s second-half run. And SU’s star freshmen were at the heart of it.

“We did the things we had to do today to win,” Boeheim said. “It really came down to making some shots in the second half. And that’s what we did. If we hadn’t, we’d still be out there playing, or we wouldn’t win.”

free throws half this season without missing.

For some, especially Tyler Roberson (he hit 3-of-4 free-throw attempts), it’s about being calmer at the line. Others, it’s about erasing the doubt that can accompany a trip to the line, especially on a team with such a mediocre percentage.

“Step to the line and knowing you’re going to make it instead of having that iffy feeling,” Richardson, who hit all four

binghamton Gait called a timeout at the 11:15 mark of the first half after seeing his offense struggle to find the opening in the Bearcat defense. Out of the timeout, Donhaue passed the ball off to Ella Thorpe, who was standing on the right side of the field parallel with the goalie. Thorpe charged forward and snuck the ball in on the close side of the goal to give Syracuse a modest 3-0 lead.

Gait said the only film his team had on Binghamton was from last season. He called the timeout because he saw the Bearcats playing a lot of packed-in zone defense, something that he and the rest of the team was not expecting.

“Our kids were a little rattled. They’re used to playing man-to-man and dodging,” Gait said. “It took us awhile to get in sync.”

Binghamton eventually scored twice to make it a 3-2 game late in the first half. The Orange scored again with 1:24 left only to concede another goal 40 seconds later to make it a 4-3 game. The Bearcats were clawing back and seizing momentum in the game from a superior SU team, even with the second-string players in.

Ella Thorpe helped end the Bearcat charge and created a little more breathing room by scoring with just 12 seconds to go in the half. The Orange did just enough to prevent Binghamton from gaining momentum.

But despite its bevy of good opportunities, the Orange consistently left the door ever so slightly open for the Bearcats.

The Orange especially struggled from the 8-meter arc.

In the first half of the Loyola game, the Orange capitalized on six of its nine freeposition attempts. In the first 19 minutes of the second half, the Orange had six of those attempts and didn’t convert on any of them.

“Binghamton has a really good goalie … they play really good defense especially when it’s in the middle,” said Treanor, who

of his, said.

All five players who hit more than one shot – Roberson, Richardson, Lydon, Gbinije and Cooney – each made a trip to the line.

And despite being defined by the long ball in the second half, Syracuse boasted enough dimensions to keep Boston College at bay and avoid being the Eagles’ first inconference victim of 2016.

“It’s huge,” Roberson said. “It’s a huge part of why we won by so much, and we just got to shoot like that going forward.” mcschnei@syr.edu | @matt_schneidman

excelled from the 8-meter arc in the first game. “A lot of the credit (should go) to Binghamton.”

The Orange finally managed to close out the game late. Kelzi Van Atta scored two goals in a 37-second span to transform a one-goal advantage to an 8-5 lead with just over 10 minutes to play.

For much of the night, SU struggled to close out a team it was better than. Failing to capitalize on golden chances — SU had a shooting percentage of just 35 — prevented Syracuse from having quite possibly another blowout.

“They just made some mistakes,” Gait said. “We’ll just mentally sharpen up and get ready for next week.” tdlanger@syr.edu

Peterson takes over late in SU’s 55-52 win over N.C. State

By Connor Grossman asst. web editor

Cornelia Fondren dished the ball to an open Alexis Peterson behind the arc, who emerged from a fray of N.C. State defenders.

Peterson sank the 3 and then swished in another on SU’s next possession to rescue the Orange from a deficit as the final ticks dribbled off the clock. She capped off her eight-point fourth-quarter run with a pair of free throws to put Syracuse up for good.

“Your mentality has to be in attack mode and to want to take big shots, and Alexis wants to do that,” Hillsman said. “Anytime she gets into the corner or into the paint, it’s always a good shot for us.”

After shooting 23 percent from the field in the first half, the Orange (20-6, 10-3 Atlantic Coast) rebounded in the game’s latter 20 minutes to narrowly top the Wolfpack (17-9, 8-5), 55-52, in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Sunday afternoon.

Before Peterson’s late heroics, Briana Day notched her sixth double-double of the season with a 10-point third quarter that Syracuse entered down by six. Her final basket of the frame put SU up, 35-34, and came on the heels of her ninth rebound off a long missed 3 from Butler.

Day’s amid of a season-best stretch of games, with 30 rebounds and 47 points in the Orange’s last three games.

“Every shot she didn’t block, she changed,” Hillsman said of Day.

She paved the way for what played out in the game’s final stanza, and cemented her double-double with a rebound off of an errant layup by N.C. State’s Jennifer Mathurin.

Butler then weaved her way down the court and Day fed her a long pass about half the distance of the court. The NCAA’s active 3-point leader pulled up from long range and sunk one of her three 3s in the contest, this one putting SU up 40-37.

But the 5-foot-11 Butler was handicapped on defense with four fouls, and in part allowed the Wolfpack to better pick apart SU’s zone and drive the paint in the fourth quarter.

“We gotta keep our team on the floor,” Hillsman said. “We have to play a little bit smarter.”

N.C. State forward Chelsea Nelson pen-

etrated Syracuse’s counterattack and laid in a basket to knot the score at 45 with 5:40 remaining. A pair of free throws from the Wolfpack’s Dominique Wilson and Miah Spencer stretched out a four-point advantage over SU. Peterson took over the game from there and began her eight-point run. She led the Orange with 16 points in another second-half push, one that might’ve been strong enough to start penciling games into March.

“It was huge,” Hillsman said of the win. “… Normally in our conference, 10 (wins) is enough to get into the NCAA tournament.

So we said we wanted to get to 10 and start counting from there.” cgrossma@syr.edu | @connorgrossman

Adam Palamar and Joel Hubbard step up as Justyn Knight rests

By Byron Tollefson contributing writer

BOSTON — With star sophomore Justyn Knight out for the Boston Valentine Invitational after racing in Iowa the previous day, Syracuse’s hopes to win the mile rested on senior Joel Hubbard and freshman Adam Palamar. They delivered. Racing in a field of collegiates and professionals, they finished first and second, both clocking in under 3:59.

“I worked my way up, and I think we found ourselves in a good position going into the last quarter mile,” said Hubbard. “We

were going a little slower than I would’ve liked, but we closed pretty well, and we’re happy with the effort.”

Syracuse competed at the Boston Valentine Invitational on Friday and Saturday. Just 12 runners participated for the Orange. The Orange races next on Saturday at the Marc Deneault Invitational in Ithaca, New York.

Hubbard and Palamar’s plan was to stay near the front and behind the leaders up until the final lap. With two laps to go, they remained behind in third and fourth place.

Finally, with one lap to go, Hubbard burst ahead on the outside to take the lead with

Palamar close behind.

“I managed to follow him into the last lap,” said Palamar. “We would’ve liked it to go a little faster, but we’re satisfied with the result.”

Junior Philo Germano finished 11th overall in the mile at 4:01:13. He aimed to break the four-minute mark for the first time. Germano knew he had to close fast if he wanted to break four minutes but just missed his goal.

The Syracuse men’s distance medley relay team, comprised of Nick Ryan, Pascal Bastien, Paul Lovell and Kevyn Hoyos, finished first at 9:47:43.

The victory gives Syracuse the best quali-

fying time in the event for the Atlantic Coast Conference championships in two weeks.

The Syracuse women’s team, made up of Karina Ernst, Danielle Delgado, Elizabeth Reynolds, and Sydney Leiher, won the distance medley relay at 11:31:65. The win also qualifies SU for the ACC championships with the fifth best time.

Several Syracuse sprinters shined as well.

In the men’s 60-meter hurdles, sophomore David Gilstrap finished sixth overall with a time of 8.12 seconds. Freshman Kadejhia Sellers came in 5th at 23.90 seconds. brtollef@syr.edu

POSTGAME PLAYBOOK observations

tweet it out

Check out three takeaways from SU’s 14-point win over B.C. at Conte Forum.

1 taking advantage With a 6-inch advantage on Eli Carter, all Tyler Lydon needed was the ball and one dribble. The freshman raised his right hand, caught an entry pass from Malachi Richardson and used a jump-hook to score the first two of his career-high 20 points. Minutes later, Lydon found himself guarded by 6-foot5 Garland Owens and a deft floater was all he needed for another seamless two points, another instance of his exploitation of mismatches on Sunday.

2 wheeling and dealing On one of his five assists, Malachi Richardson sliced through the lane and threaded a no-look pass to Lydon for a two-handed slam. Sunday accounted for his second consecutive conference game with five or more helpers. It’s the first time this season that an SU player has registered five or more assists in back-to-back league games this season. The freshman has displayed an ability to not only finish from beyond the arc and at the rim, but sift through gaps in the defense to set up teammates as well.

Boston College’s Matt Milon was averaging 4.5 points per game coming into Sunday’s matchup, but he had 20 in the first half. The 6-foot-4 freshman guard hit all four 3-pointers he took and went a perfect 4-for-4 from the foul line, keeping the Eagles in a game that, on paper, they had no business being in. Clifford kept B.C. in the game in the second half, but Milon still chipped in five secondhalf points to set a career-high. After the game, Jim Boeheim praised the freshman and said he’s a guy he doesn’t like seeing on the court.

The Orange took advantage of 13 BC turnovers and turned them into 23 points on the offensive end.

SU pulls away from B.C. for 5th straight win

By Sam Blum

senior staff writer

By Matt Schneidman sports editor

HESTNUT HILL, Mass. — Tyler Lydon clenched his fists as he ran up the court.

He had spent the last couple of seconds begging for a pass as he stood wide open on the perimeter.

And when he caught the ball in transition, he connected on a shot that all but put Boston College out of reach.

Throughout the first 27 minutes of SU’s game at BC, there was no such certainty. The two teams had traded leads, and the league’s worst team was giving SU its best effort.

But Lydon’s shot came amid a 16-2 game-defining run for Syracuse. And it put distance in a game the Eagles, winless in conference play, had little business being in.

“I feel way more confident in my game,” Lydon said. “I’m just playing more aggressive. I’m playing a lot better.”

Lydon scored 10 of his 20 points during that run, and Malachi Richardson added the other six as the two freshmen combined to bring Syracuse (18-8, 8-5 Atlantic Coast) to life in its 75-61 win over Boston College (7-18, 0-12) at Conte Forum on Sunday. The Orange shot just 3-of-13 from behind the arc in the first half, but Lydon and Richardson combined to make four during the run as the Orange made 8-of-10 in the second half.

Head coach Jim Boeheim said Syracuse got the 3-point looks it wanted in the first half, but BC’s Matt Milon had 20 points, a career-high, and the Orange couldn’t keep any separation with its poor shooting.

“We were playing pretty well (in the first half), doing everything pretty well on both ends of the see boston

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – The Boston College eagle vigorously shook its rear end in Malachi Richardson’s direction while he stood at the foul line. The mascot turned back and forth several times, all while the freshman’s eyes locked on the rim and the ball fell through the hoop twice.

“We were able to get to the line and make our foul shots on the road,” Trevor Cooney said, “which isn’t easy to do.”

The eagle nor the Eagles could dictate the part of Syracuse’s game that flew relatively under the radar. The Orange hit eight 3-pointers in the second half, but also made all eight of its foul shots and 16-of-18 from the charity stripe overall. The 89-percent clip was SU’s second-highest of the season and added insurance to a 3-point heavy attack in Syracuse’s (18-8, 8-5 Atlantic Coast) 75-61 win over Boston College (7-18, 0-12) on Sunday afternoon.

SU struggles offensively in win over Binghamton

By Tomer Langer asst. copy editor

Riley Donahue seemed poised to score. Eight minutes had already passed in the first half and it was still a syracuse 9 scoreless binghamton 6 g a m e , a stark difference from the first game that Syracuse played Sunday, a 17-6 victory over Loyola at noon

in which Donahue also played.

She took a few steps forward from the free position on the left side of the 8-meter arc and shot it toward the net. The ball hit the left post, ricocheted off to the right post and trickled away from the goal.

Another strong opportunity for the Orange ended without a reward.

After the noon game, Syracuse head coach Gary Gait decided to sit out star players Kayla Treanor

and Halle Majorana, amongst others, in the nightcap against Binghamton and relied more on secondary players to run the offense.

“We wanted to allow some of our younger players that were role players with our vets (on the field) to have our opportunity to step up,” Gait said.

No. 3 Syracuse (2-0) struggled to capitalize on its offensive opportunities with its ‘B’ team in. Still,

the Orange did just enough to squeak out a 9-6 victory over Binghamton (0-1) in the Carrier Dome.

The Orange scored its first goal at the 18:31 mark when Natalie Wallon capitalized off an assist from Emily Resnick.

In the first game against Loyola, the Orange had already scored five goals within the first 11 minutes of play. see binghamton page 12

“Being able to cash at the free throw line is huge for any team, and we did a good job of that,” Michael Gbinije said, “getting to the line and making it count.”

Only four times this season had Syracuse posted over an 80-percent mark at the line. The Orange has the third-worst percentage from the line in the ACC, only making 67.6 percent of its attempts.

On Sunday, SU took more than two attempts below its season average from the line but managed to hit over two free throws more than its average. Amid a 3-for-13 first-half effort from behind the arc, Syracuse got to the line five times and each trip included at least one make.

“They have to play as tight on the perimeter because we have shooters,” SU head coach Jim Boeheim said of BC, “so we also have to drive in those situations.”

Even when shots were falling from deep in the second half, the Orange diversified its attack enough to put a comfortable distance between itself and the Eagles.

Cooney, Gbinije and Tyler Lydon each hit all of their foul shots in the latter 20 minutes. It was the most free throws Syracuse has taken in a see free
