It is with a heavy heart that we confirm the passing of former Pirates infielder Phil Garner.

"Scrap Iron” was a beloved member of the Pirates family as he spent five of his 16 Major League seasons playing with the Pirates (1977-1981), capturing a World Series championship in 1979. He batted .417 in the N.L. Championship Series that year and .500 in seven games against the Baltimore Orioles in the Fall Classic.

I have tried and failed for a decade to capture this view in #Pittsburgh, and this morning I was finally able to. In this scene, the Duquesne Incline passes above the train tracks right as a Norfolk Southern train was going underneath it. Can't believe my luck that it worked out.

Three basics for better sleep and overall health: contrasting light and dark, consolidating mealtimes and keeping sleep times consistent. “Simply taking a walk outside during the day and reducing our light exposure in the evening could have great effect.”

When John Williams saw this scene from Schindler’s List (1993), he was so moved he stepped out to process it.

He told Spielberg he needed a better composer. Spielberg replied, “I know, but they’re all dead.”

The Boeing B-29 was the most advanced bomber of World War Two, and more expensive to design and build than the atomic bombs it dropped. It also helped influence the airliners we fly on today.

We are heartbroken to learn of the passing of Hall of Famer Dave Parker.

A legendary Pirate, Parker spent 11 years in a Pirates uniform, winning 2 batting titles, an MVP award and a World Series Championship in 1979.

The Cobra was part of the inaugural Pirates Hall of Fame class in 2022, and will be enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown next month.

"The user wants to see why the path curves is necessary, even if the real reason is invisible. It is not enough that our solution is the best option; it has to look like the best option locally to be acceptable. We learn a first lesson: Show the obstacle."

Armed Forces Day is for those still in uniform.

Veteran's Day is for those who hung up their uniform.

Memorial Day (today) is for those who never got out of their uniform.

On behalf of a grateful nation.

University of Pittsburgh has paused doctoral programs admissions amid federal funding uncertainty. A federal judge in Mass considers issuing a temp injunction on behalf of the university & others to halt the funding question behind the admissions stay.

The use of AI also appeared to hinder creativity, the researchers found, with workers using AI tools producing a "less diverse set of outcomes for the same task" compared to people relying on their own cognitive abilities.
