TRANSPORTATION

Metrorail extension eases commute from airport Professor sees need for further planning

Meera Nagarsheth didn’t have a ride home from the airport at the end of winter break last year. She arrived at Miami International Airport after a 22-hour flight, took a shuttle to the Tri-Rail, the TriRail to the Metrorail and the Metrorail back to campus. It took her an hour and a half to travel eight miles. “I had come from India, so I was jetlagged and had big bags,” said Nagarsheth, 20, a junior who spent her vacation visiting family and traveling. “Public transportation wasn’t the best option for me. I was tired and just wanted to get home.” Today, however, students have the option of taking the 2.4-mile extension to the Metrorail from Miami International Airport. The “AirportLink” extension, which opened at the end of July, connects the Earlington Heights station to a new public transportation center just northeast of the airport. Earlington Heights is 11 stops away from the University Metrorail station, the stop located across from the University of Miami’s Coral Gables campus on Ponce de Leon Boulevard. Traveling to the airport from the University station takes approximately 30 minutes. Train service be-

help students because it "cuts down on hassles driving to the airport, wrestling with traffic, looking for a place to park and having to take a taxi." At the public transportation center, formally known as the Miami Intermodal Center, passengers will be able to connect to airport terminals via the Automated People Mover. The hub, which will open in the fall of 2013, will also provide access to the Tri-Rail, county buses, taxis and a rental car center. UM alumnus Giovany Delgado, 23, rode the Metrorail every day for 10 years before he graduated in the spring. He plans to take advantage of the extension. “Honestly, it’s about time they invested in a direct line to the airport,” he said. “Miami-Dade should continue investing in more lines to alleviate traffic.” Political science professor George Gonzalez, whose research interests include urban sprawl and environmental politics, does not believe Miami is doing enough to develop a comprehensive mass transit system. “Piecemeal projects, like the Metrorail airport extension, are inef-

fective in dealing with Miami’s automobile dependency and gridlock,” he said. “Miami, like other Sunbelt cities, are in desperate need of a comprehensive mass transit system, which covers much of the metro area. A high gasoline tax would move people, and housing and business development, toward that system.” The $506-million extension is part of the larger People’s Transportation Plan (PTP), and is the first major extension since the Metrorail opened in 1984. In 2002, voters approved a half-penny sales tax increase to finance the PTP and, by extension, this project. The remaining $101.3 million was covered by the Florida Department of Transportation. The PTP and its $17-billion budget also includes the plan to add more buses and routes, improve service, expand rapid transit and create thousands of transportation and construction-related jobs over the next 25 years, according to Ferradaz. Despite the significant cost of construction, fares remain the same at $2 a ride. The Metrorail runs from 5 a.m. to midnight, seven days a week. For a schedule, visit miamidade.gov/ transit.

SPECIAL EVENT

Convocation speaker discusses e-personalities Psychiatrist pushes ‘think before you click’ mindset BY ALEXANDER GONZALEZ ASSISTANT EDITOR

Elias Aboujaoude asked a crowd of incoming freshmen at the new student convocation if they were familiar with “F?” – the text message equivalent of “are we still friends?” Freshmen were dumbfounded. Aboujaoude, a psychiatrist and associate clinical professor at Stanford University, told the crowd he received a text message from a younger relative after an argument they had. In his lecture, Aboujaoude used the anecdote as an example of “e-language,” the language that most people use to communicate in the virtual world. He explained that there is a draw to text message vocabulary like “F?” because it allows users to express complex feelings much more concisely, or what he called “regression” in his speech. Aboujauode believes that this regression is inherent to technologies, like the Internet, by comparing a person’s interaction in the online world to the Freudian concept of the id, the most primal state of human personality. To describe this concept, Aboujauode coined the term, “the dark side.” “It takes more effort to do the right thing because it is difficult to self-police online,” he

said in his address. Author of “Virtually You: The Dangerous Powers of the E-Personality,” Aboujaoude expressed that the Internet creates a sort of “epersonality,” which differs from the way a person behaves in reality. The danger of this virtual freedom causes these liberties to seep into the personality, form-

ing Aboujauode’s theory of e-personalities. In an interview held before the event, Aboujauode mentioned that he decided to write “Virtually You,” because not enough attention was being given to the dangers of Internet usage. “There seemed to have been a love affair with the positives,” he said. “I instead wanted

to trigger a debate, to think before you click.” Considering the potential of online overspending and impulsive behavior on social media sites and email, Aboujauode hoped his freshmen audience takes the “think before you click” message to heart. “They are the generation that does not know life before Google,” he said in an interview. “The Internet can both reward and punish, and one cannot take it for granted.” In his speech, Aboujauode noted the positive influences technology has on communication today. He advocates for moderation and not total detachment from all technologies. “We cannot be well-adjusted without email,” he said. Aboujauode also spoke on the issue of social media privacy. In his speech, he stated that only 20 percent of people actually use privacy settings on Facebook. As a result, freshman Katherine Lindblad plans to update her Facebook friends list. “I have over 2,000 friends on Facebook, but I don’t even have 200 close friends,” she said. “It can be a safety hazard for so many to have access to personal information.” Other freshmen may take more drastic steps. Ari Mont is considering deactivating his Facebook account altogether. “I thought the topic was relevant and modern,” Mont said. “It now seems unnecessary to carry extra weight online.”

the mistakes that I made when I was in your shoes. There are two things you will hear over and over: Go to class and go see your professors during office hours. Seriously, do it. Skipping class can lead to a serious scare when you (and your parents) receive an academic alert a month into the semester, or a very unpleasant surprise on your transcript come December. Going to office hours will allow you to develop relationships with professors that will be helpful down the road. It is also a good way to better understand lecture material that you struggled with. Also, take advantage of all UM has to offer. There will be career fairs, prominent speakers and other educational events that will help you network and learn.

edge The best tours to get to know your city BY MARGAUX HERRERA STAFF WRITER

Miami can go from the trendy and flashy hotspots on Ocean Drive to the hub for Cuban culture, Little Havana, in a 15-minute drive. And if you need a break from the city, the Everglades is just a car ride away. The Magic City’s diversity can make it intimidating to really explore your new home. Here are The Miami Hurricane’s picks for the best tours in the city. Little Havana Culinary Tour This two-hour walking tour takes groups through Little Havana on Saturday afternoons to sample Cuban cusine. On the tour, you’ll get a taste of Cuban food and culture, as your tour guide explains the historical landmarks around the neighborhood. You’ll stop at well-known restaurants like Exquisito, where you can try a traditional Cuban sandwich, loaded up with ham, pork, Swiss cheese and pickles. You’ll also try traditional treats like pastelitos de guayaba (guava pastries) and jugo de guarapo (sugar cane juice). The tour also makes pit stops at a cigar shop and Domino Park, where seniors challenge each other to usually dishonest games of dominos. You can take the Little Havana Culinary tour on Saturdays at 12:30 p.m.

The tour costs $59 per person. For more information, visit miamiculinarytours.com. Duck Tours South Beach Get to know Miami both by land and by sea. The Duck Tours South Beach’s claim to fame is its Hydra Terra vehicles, which travel on land and the ocean. The 90-minute tour starts in South Beach and takes you through the historical Art Deco District. As you make your way south, the vehicle ends up sailing in the water around Star Island, where you’ll get to see the homes of celebrities like Shaq and Gloria Estefan. Tour guides will keep you entertained with jokes and trivia. They ask questions, and if you get a question right, you’ll get your own duck bill that quacks when you blow on it. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t want that? Duck Tours run multiple times per day throughout the week. The tour costs $34.24 per person. For more information, visit ducktourssouthbeach.com.

manatees or dolphins. If you want to take a swim, the group has snorkel gear for rent or you can bring your own. The Oleta River Blue Marlin Fish House Tour is longer than the Inside Tour and ends with an optional lunch at the Blue Marlin Fish House, which is famous for its smoked fish dip. Blue Moon also offers a Full Moon Kayak tour twice a month. The nighttime ride is two hours long with a 30-minute break for a bonfire and s’mores. Days and times for the tours vary. The cost ranges between $40 to $75 per person. For more information, visit bluemoonmiami.com.

Blue Moon Kayaking Tours If the Duck Tour leaves you wanting more of Miami’s waters, explore the city by kayak. Blue Moon Outdoor Center offers three different kayaking tours. The two-hour Oleta Park Inside Tour will take you down the river through the mangrove trails. You’ll see jumping fish and herons, and if you’re lucky you might catch a glimpse of

CORAL GABLES

Take a bite into the cheapest hotspots in the Gables BY MARGAUX HERRERA STAFF WRITER

Blowing $25 on dinner is painful when you make minimum wage. But then again, dining hall food can take a toll on your system too. Finding good food is the key to making it wihtout a home-cooked meal for two months – McDonalds just won’t cut it. Fortunately, being on a college campus means nearby restaurants have to cater to our tiny budgets. Most eateries in the area offer Canes discounts, so be sure to ask before you pay. Check out The Miami Hurricane’s picks for best places to grab a bite for $10 or less near campus. Stir Moon Stir Moon isn’t just the closest restaurant to campus – it’s right across U.S. 1 – but it’s also one of the tastiest. It features both Japanese and Thai menus. Order the Pad Thai appetizer ($7.95), loaded with shrimp and chicken, which sits more like a main course than a starter. Or pair up a California roll ($5.50) with a small wonton soup ($4.50). If seafood isn’t

your thing, you can try the chicken lettuce wraps ($7.95) or toasty steamed chicken buns ($6.95). Stir Moon is located at 1100 South Dixie Highway. For more information visit stirmoon. com. Miami’s Best Pizza The name doesn’t lie – this place has some of Miami’s best pizza. And it’s cheap too. A slice of cheese pizza ($3.27) is the size of two normal slices, and the greasy goodness will keep you smiling while you chew your way to happiness. Slices are only served until 5 p.m. though, so after that it might be best to go with a friend or two. Order a small cheese pizza ($5.90) with half a dozen garlic rolls ($2.90) and chances are you’ll have leftovers to wash down your beers during your 2 a.m. Halo tournament. Miami’s Best Pizza is located at 1514 South Dixie Highway. For more information visit miamisbestpizza.com. Five Guys Everyone knows that Five Guys has great burgers ($5.39). But have you tried any-

thing else on the menu? They butterfly hot dogs ($3.49) when they cook them, so the meat comes out hot and plump all the way through. The toppings don’t cost extra on the dogs either, so you can load up and fill up. If you’re not feeling the meat, you can always try a veggie sandwich ($2.99) which is all of their normal vegetables grilled up and packed in. Pair the sandwich with an order of cajun fries ($3.29) and you still have enough for a drink ($2.09). Still not enough food? Have some free peanuts. Five Guys is located at 1540 South Dixie Highway. For more information visit fiveguys. com. Havana Harry’s It wouldn’t be Miami without affordable Latin food. Havana Harry’s lunch specials are the way to go, with Cuban sandwiches ($7.75) piled high with ham, pork, mozzarella cheese, Swiss cheese, mustard and pickles on Cuban bread, and a side of fries, plantain chips or soup. The daily specials are almost all under $10, like Wednesday’s ropa vieja ($8.95),

shredded pork cooked in tomato and wine sauce, or Friday’s mojito chicken ($8.95), half a chicken cooked in a citrus marinade. All specials come with two sides too, including rice and beans, sweet plantains and french fries. Havana Harry’s is located at 4612 South Le Jeune Road. For more information visit havanaharrys.net. Patagonia Good steak can be tough to find, and even more difficult when you’re on a budget. Fortunately Patagonia popped up on Miracle Mile and in South Miami to save us from our meatless despair. Savor one of their special dishes like grilled skirt steak ($8.99) or matambre ($7.99), a flank steak stuffed with eggs and vegetables and baked to perfection. All dishes come with a side of mashed potatoes, salad, Russian salad or french fries. If you feel like eating with your hands, pick up a proscuitto and cheese sandwich ($4.99) and a glass of cabernet ($4.50) or hot chicken breast sandwich ($7.99).

FOOTBALL

QB Morris named starter for Sept. 1 opener Canes hold final fall scrimmage BY ERNESTO SUAREZ SPORTS EDITOR

As the August days grow more humid, the wait for another season of football grows shorter. The Hurricanes held their second and final scrimmage of fall camp on Saturday, which was cut short due to lightning. Although it was closed to fans and the media, coach Al Golden spent the week emphasizing the importance of performing well leading up to and through Saturday’s game. “We’re settling in now,” he said earlier in the week. “If guys aren’t ready by Saturday, if they don't make a move by Saturday, it’s over. We coach the guys that are out here every day and the guys that are dependable and reliable. That’s who we want to play with.” Heading into fall camp, the battle for the starting quarterback position was seemingly up for grabs. On one hand, junior Stephen Morris, considered the favorite for the role, spent the spring recovering from offseason back surgery and it remained to be seen how it would affect him. On the other hand, redshirt sophomore Ryan Williams, who sat out last season per NCAA rules after transferring from Memphis, had emerged as a legitimate challenger after a successful spring. EARLY SCHEDULE SEPT. 1: @ Boston College; 3:30 p.m. SEPT. 8: @ Kansas State; noon SEPT. 15: Bethune Cookman; noon

KENNETH RUBI // CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHER BLOCKERS: Freshman long snapper Frank Gabriel, left, runs through a blocking drill with senior offensive lineman Jeremy Lewis.

But any questions regarding the starting spot disappeared after the first fall scrimmage, when offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch confirmed Morris would start the opener at Boston College. “I was very humbled,” Morris said about hearing the news. “It’s a great opportunity for me and this team to move forward. But my main focus right now is continuing to help beat Boston College.” Although the coaches spoke highly about both quarterbacks, most were unsurprised that Mor-

ris was named the starter. “I’m not surprised because Stephen came in with the mindset that he was ready,” redshirt sophomore Malcolm Bunche said. “He was ready to take over the offense, he’s becoming a good leader and he’s done a great job through the whole summer.” Arguably the biggest surprise of the offseason was the absence of junior offensive lineman Seantrel Henderson from the twodeep depth chart. Henderson, who traveled to Minnesota for a funeral and also dealt with other

issues, has not participated in any practices yet this fall. His absence has allowed others to step up, including freshman lineman Erick Flowers, who has impressed coaches and teammates alike. “They just came in and listened, especially [Flowers],” Bunche said. “It was tough for him in the beginning, because he really didn't know anything, just like any other freshman. But he came in with an open mind, he’s listened to the older guys and he’s just taking it in.” Aug. 20 - Aug. 22, 2012

With the season just two weeks away, Golden emphasized the importance of being able to finish strong. Though camp takes its toll on both players and coaches, Golden said they had to learn how to break through “the proverbial wall.” “This is the hardest part, this is where teams can get divided with that self-preservation mode set in,” he said. “We don’t just want to survive this portion of camp; we want to thrive, unite and rise above it.”

UM to open season at Invitational Former Canes goalie dies after battling lymphoma Former players join in alumni game BY PATRICK RILEY STAFF WRITER

The Knight Sports Complex was filled with a raucous noise late Saturday afternoon as the women’s volleyball team’s annual alumni match came to a close. But the cheers didn’t come from the dozens of fans who attended the Green and Orange Scrimmage. It was the players on the green squad, led by former players Christine Williamson and Ariell Cooke, that were overcome with joy when they took game four of five in exciting fashion, 28-26. The orange team would eventually win four games to one, but despite the lopsided outcome everybody enjoyed themselves in what turned out to be an entertaining yet intense final test before the season starts on Friday. “It was really fun. They [the

alumni] are really fun and they just bring a lot of great energy to the court,” said sophomore Alexis Mourning, a 6-foot-1 middle blocker from Texas. Mourning had a total of 13 kills and made plays that earned her praise from coach Nicole Lantange-Welch. “I thought Alexis had a great day,” Lantange-Welch said. “She attacked extremely efficiently and also blocked, so she was doing the two main things of her job for us and that was great to see. Whichever side of the court she was on, she was bringing that.” The teams were switched up after every game to make sure everyone got a chance to play alongside the two alumni. It also afforded Williamson, who was on the team just last year and spent the summer in Miami, a chance to make an impact on some of the younger players. “One of the things that I think our team is really good at, like in

all the previous seasons, is having energy, being excited and playing having fun,” she said. “We just made sure that they do that.” Williamson is not the only one who is optimistic about the team’s chances this season. Lantange-Welch was, for the most part, pleased with what she saw from her team on Saturday. “We saw a lot of great things out there today and we also saw some that we want to work on and clean up a little bit,” she said. With the 2012 season just around the corner, LantangeWelch described the scrimmage as a “great chance for the young players to get rid of some butterflies” and compared it to a “dress rehearsal.” The Canes will open with the Hurricane Invitational this weekend. They will face Wofford and Ole Miss on Friday at 12:30 p.m. and 7 p.m., respectively. On Saturday, UM will play Rutgers at 1 p.m. and Samford at 7 p.m.

dear ...

Dear V: I want all fifty shades of naughty... Dear Miss Steele, ,

After reading Fifty Shades of Grey, I can’t imagine life without bondage. Ever since I painted my apartment red, my sex life has been nothing but grey. How can I find my Christian Grey? Signed, “Ana”nymous

So you’re into S&M. Welcome to my world. I’m all for kinky shit, especially when it involves a leather riding crop. If you’re looking for a “Sir” to tie you up and do the nasty, I recommend a trip to your neighborhood bondage club. These clubs will satisfy all of your fetish, bondage and BDSM needs. And maybe you’ll find your dream dom. But I don’t think Christian Grey is who you want gagging you. You should find someone else to take your breath away. He might be a freak in the sheets, but the relationship between Christian and Anastasia is the bad kind of freaky – you don’t want to be tied down that way. Try not to let your fetish dominate your life. If you want to leave your mark on your partner, go for it. But if you can’t imagine your life without having someone control you, there’s a bigger issue at hand.

i i i Don’t confuse dominance and manipulation. You don’t want to be on a leash outside of the red room. Most importantly, know your limits, pick a safe word and choose the right partner. Like in any relationship, trust and consent are a must. With that, happy bonding. I hope it’s everything E.L. James makes it out to be and more. Keep a bottle of Advil next to the lube. Some parting words: try the hogtie, invest in a set of nipple clamps and be safe. We aim to please, V
