RSMAS

Two-year project nears end

Huffington talks new book, success tips

Hurricane simulator adds research opportunities

BY LAURA VANDER MEIDEN SENIOR NEWS WRITER

The end is in sight for a two-year long construction project at the University of Miami’s RSMAS campus as the project enters its final few months.

The Marine Technology and Life Sciences building is expected to be completed by the end of spring 2014, and will be the first new building on the RSMAS campus since the 1980s. It will replace the 50-year-old Glassell building that currently houses the laboratories that will move into the new Life Sciences building.

“We knew we had to replace the facility, and we wanted to create a state-of-the-art facility for both physical and biological research,” said Michael Schmale, a RSMAS professor and associate dean for infrastructure.

The Marine Technology and Life Sciences building will consist of two parts connected by a windowed lobby that allows visitors to watch research as it happens. One side of the building will contain seawater labs and classrooms, while the other will house the state-ofthe-art Surge Structure Atmospheric Interaction system (SUSTAIN).

The SUSTAIN system, a hurricane simulator, consists of wind and wave generators, and will be used to study wind-water interactions during hurricane-force winds. The system, described to span the area of six bowling lanes, also includes an artificial beach area where scientists will study the effects of storm surge on small, structural models of buildings.

“The system is not the biggest one in the world, but it’s the biggest one that can do the wind speeds it can do,” said William Drennan, RSMAS’s associate dean for undergraduate studies. “If we didn’t have it, we simply wouldn’t be able to do the same kind of studies.”

The new facilities will open up opportunities for the whole RSMAS community when construction is completed in the spring semester. Undergraduate and graduate students alike will have the ability to work alongside UM professors, as well as conduct research of their own.

Sophomore Ian Thompson, a marine science and geology major, is looking forward to taking advantage of these opportunities.

“I think it will be exciting to have a new building at RSMAS and hopefully, as an undergraduate, be able to take advantage of and get involved in some research that was unavailable prior to completion of the project,” he said.

There’s still more in store for the RSMAS campus after the Life Sciences building and SUSTAIN system are completed. RSMAS plans to construct a SCUBA training pool that will enhance the current research diving course offered to undergraduate and graduate students.

“At RSMAS there are studies about all kinds of different problems, and this is going to allow that kind of work to continue and also expand,” Drennan said.

MONICA HERNDON // PHOTO EDITOR SLEEP’S SAVIOR: Founder of the Huffington Post, Arianna Huffington speaks to students and community members about her new book “Thrive” at the BankUnited Center Fieldhouse on Tuesday evening.

Media mogul offers advice to students

BY ERIKA GLASS MULTIMEDIA EDITOR

On Tuesday, Chair, President and Editor-in-Chief of the Huffington Post Media Group Arianna Huffington visited the University of Miami to discuss her 14th book, “Thrive: The Third Metric to Redefining Success and Creating a Life of Well-Being, Wisdom, and Wonder.”

She spoke to members of student media and answered questions about how to succeed in the communication field and how failure affects success.

Student Media: What’s your best advice for a graduate entering the job world specifically in the communication field?

Arianna Huffington: First of all, some general advice for all graduates is to just not believe the collective delusion that the only way to succeed is to burn out, be exhausted and sleep deprived, and then you’re going to rest when you get to the top.

April 10 - April 13, 2014

[UM President Donna E. Shalala] is here, and she said something wonderful to me at lunch … she said that to lead you have to be rested.

That’s when you’re going to make your best decisions, and then when crises happen – as in all our lives crises happen – you will be able to draw on your resources to make the best decisions.

If you’re operating on fumes, if you’ve exhausted your reserves, you’re not going to make your best decisions. So it’s not selfish to actually nurture your human capita; it’s the way to be most effective, and you know … there’s so much scientific evidence about it. I have 55 pages of scientific footnotes to convince you.

And also, look at star athletes; they only care about winning, right?

But now they have integrated sleep, meditation, yoga into their lives because they’re better on the court. So in order to be better on the court, you have to nurture the human capita.

Now, our culture has been completely wrong about sleep deprivation, especially men. I don’t want to single out the one man here, but you know men have kind of used sleep deprivation

like a virility symbol, like a macho thing, and they’ve been congratulating each other for working 24/7 and all that.

Specifically now to your question about the communications field, this is a really exciting time to be in the communications field. Things are changing, and what we’re finding is that media are beginning to also put the spotlight on good things and on what is working – not just on what is dysfunctional and corrupt. That will always be the role of the media ... to expose injustice, to speak truth to power. All these things are very important, but it’s also very important to put the emphasis on good things that are happening in the community because a lot of good things are happening, and very often the media consider this “soft” news, like not serious journalism. You know, something we cover on Thanksgiving or Christ mas.

CAMPUS LIFE

Sophomore casts line on campus fishing Lake Osceola catches on as center for hobby

BY LYSSA GOLDBERG OPINION EDITOR

Sophomore Derek Sheldon, who was raised in Plano, Texas, where bass fishing is popular, has been hooked on fishing ever since he was a child.

“It’s just a large part of the culture in Texas,” he said. “I can’t even remember the first time I went fishing, but that probably is because I was so young.”

Now at the University of Miami, Sheldon casts his fishing reel into Lake Osceola as a way to relieve stress once or twice a week.

SUSTAINABILITY AND SAFETY

The time of day, tides and position of where he’s fishing in the lake all play a role in how many fish Sheldon catches. Out of habit, Sheldon typically fishes early in the mornings or in the evenings.

“That’s when people say the fish bite,” he said. “Lake Osceola has four tides a day, just like the ocean does. I haven’t quite learned how to fish with the tides here, but it’s definitely a game of timing.”

There was a span of two weeks where he’d catch up to six fish a day, Sheldon said. On the other hand, when the net that keeps the manatees out of the campus waterways is secured properly, there are fewer fish, he said.

When he does catch fish, Sheldon chooses to release them. But Jerald Ault, professor of marine biology and fisheries, said that eating the catch of the day once in a while can be OK, too.

“I don’t think there’s any big deal with eating a few fish out of there, but the downside of that is that, in South Florida, there’s a high mercury content that’s been detected in fishes,” Ault said.

Mercury can interfere with a person’s brain and nervous system. While Ault is not certain of the mercury levels in the lake, he said that it could be a potential concern.

However, students still want to consider the laws regarding limits on the size of fish that they catch, as well as whether they would need a shoreline fishing license, according to Ault. (Sheldon has his license).

Still, every third outing or so, a student will come up to Sheldon and tell him he shouldn’t be fishing. It’s a common misconception that fishing from Lake Osceola is not allowed, but this is not necessarily the case.

While the Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook does prohibit students from swimming in Lake Osceola and the surrounding waterways, there are no university rules that restrict students from fishing, according to Tony Lake, the associate dean of students.

Nevertheless, UMPD officers said that they have asked people to stop fishing on campus.

Coral Gables has a city ordinance against fishing on public property, but the waterways on campus are private property. People not affiliated

with the university are not supposed to be fishing from the lake.

SOCIAL MEDIA

Sheldon has been testing the waters since he arrived in Miami last year, but it wasn’t until last month that he decided to create a social media community for anglers at UM. The Twitter account – @u_fishing – increased in student traffic after Sheldon was featured in a recent Humans of UM post, but it is still currently most popular with commercial fishermen, fishing and tackle companies, and wildlife conservation organizations.

Sheldon ultimately hopes to create a network of fishermen and spark students’ interest on campus. Then, they can share photos of their successful catches with the rest of the online community.

“It’s having people not only brag about what they caught, but to be able to tie in how they caught them, when they caught them, where they caught them, so they can be more successful,” he said.

Sheldon, an ecosystem science and policy major, said that he drew inspiration from the way UM keeps a catalog of tree species on campus, with varieties labeled at the arboretum.

“I wanted people to post pictures and eventually try to catalog the majority of fish in the lake,” he said. “You’d be able to see the variety of fish and the type of ecosystem it is.”

FISH DIVERSITY

MONICA HERNDON // PHOTO EDITOR FINE FISHING: Sheldon (pictured above) fishes in Lake Osceola near the labyrinth by Hecht and Stanford residential colleges Tuesday afternoon.

Sheldon keeps eight fishing rods in his dorm room – six that he brought from home and two purchased in Miami – along with six tackle boxes and other gear, including pliers, line cutters and hook sharpeners.

das. He said he’s also spotted lots of Mayan cichlids, a striped fish species that comes from South America, by the labyrinth between Hecht and Stanford residential colleges.

“Every once in a while you’ll see the tarpon roll in, but I don’t really have the right equipment for that,” he said.

Ault said that the diversity of fish that can be found in the lake depends on the sources of water.

“It’s connected on the seaward side by canals that run out to the bay, so that means it’s going to be a lower salinity environment in there,” Ault said. “It’s not freshwater and it’s not the ocean, so it’s somewhere in between.”

Therefore, Lake Osceola features a mix of freshwater and marine species: largemouth bass, bluegill, mudfish, garfish, tilapia and more. The fish that students often see jumping in the lake are probably silver or black mullet, according to Ault.

Ault started paying attention to the fish in the lake when he was a graduate student at UM in the 1980s. Now, he still looks over the bridge and tries to see what fish are in the water when he’s walking to class.

“The water is turbid; it’s colored; there’s a lot of tannic acid from the barks of trees … which means most of the time you can’t really see that far in the water, but there are other days when it’s calm and you can see in further,” he said.

The key is to keep the lake environment sustainable by treating it well and fishing responsibly, according to Ault.

“The water’s clean. It looks natural. You see a lot of things – birds and fish, all the things that suggest people have treated the lake pretty fairly. The fact that you’re still getting fish out of it, that’s a good thing, and you want to keep it sustainable,” he said.

GREEK LIFE

Junior rises through Greek organization’s ranks Members and friends commend quality leadership

BY MARLEE LISKER EDGE EDITOR

Junior Michael Vante first heard about Black Greek Letter Organizations (BGLO’s) through the United Black Students club. He then joined the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, one of the nine historically black Greek organizations on campus.

Two years later, Vante became president of the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC), the umbrella group for the nine University of Miami BGLO’s. His term officially began at the end of spring 2013.

Originally from the United States Virgin Islands, Vante became passionate about the NPHC because it is “rooted in history.”

“A lot of the pride people have in their organizations is because of the history that they hold in terms of AfricanAmerican history,” said Vante, who majors in English literature and Africana Studies.

After becoming a member of Kappa Alpha Psi in 2012, Vante continued to move up the ranks. He became the UM Association for Greek Letter Organizations (AGLO) representative for NPHC the following semester.

Vante then found himself becoming more and more involved. Eventually, the former president of NPHC had Vante going to events in his place to “groom him” for the position.

The NPHC, founded in 1930 at Howard University in Washington, D.C., came to UM in 1970. According to Vante, it was called the Federation of Black Greeks until 2001, when the organization’s adviser, Assistant Dean of Students Dayle Wilson, chartered the NPHC.

NEWS BRIEFS

Notable members of various NPHC organizations include Martin Luther King, Jr., Ralph Abernathy and Coretta Scott King.

Vante added that although the organization is historically African American, people of all nationalities are welcome to join.

Nationally, the NPHC includes the sororities Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, Zeta Phi Beta and Sigma Gamma Rho; and the fraternities Alpha Phi Alpha, Kappa Alpha Psi, Omega Psi Phi, Phi Beta Sigma and Iota Phi Theta.

All but Iota Phi Theta are chartered at UM, and currently six of those eight are active. In total, Vante estimated that there are between 45 and 50 people in NPHC. Vante explained that unlike the IFC and Panhellenic Greek organizations, which are largely philanthropy-oriented, NPHC is focused on what Vante called “community involvement” – the uplifting and fulfillment of minority communities. He said that more than anything, members of the NPHC work to educate and inspire change.

NPHC organizations still participate in charity events, too. On March 5, the NPHC teamed up with Alpha Kappa Alpha to put on a bake sale that raised money for the Relay for Life anti-cancer organization.

In less than a year, Vante has already made a big impression on members of the NPHC community. Sophomore Amber Williams, a member of Sigma Gamma Rho, spoke highly of Vante and his commitment to the organization.

“All of my interactions with Michael have been really positive, and I really admire the manner in which he deals with adversity,” Williams said. “Michael is an excellent, heavily involved leader on campus.”

Vante refuses to take all the credit, however.

“None of my leadership qualities would come about if it wasn’t for the help of my e-board,” he said.

Mischael Cetoute, a junior in Alpha Phi Alpha, commended Vante for his community spirit.

“I can personally vouch for his professionalism when it comes to maintaining the best interests of the council over his own fraternity, Kappa Alpha Psi,” Cetoute said. “Under Mike’s leadership, NPHC has increased its on-campus exposure and involvement in university-wide affairs.”

Vante said that, ultimately, NPHC members were about supporting each other.

“We’re different branches of the same tree,” he said. “At the end of the day, we make it a point to help each other.”

STAFF EDITORIAL

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Stephanie Parra

LGBTQ pride progresses on campus Four decades ago, a student wrote a letter to The Miami Hurricane decrying the university’s support of the Gay Alliance’s use of the Rathskeller for a Valentine’s Day dance.

On Wednesday night, the LGBTQ student organization SpectrUM took over the Rat once again – but this time for DragOut, the inaugural drag show put on to raise awareness about the LGBTQ community.

This is only one of many signs that our society, this country and the University of Miami have come a long way. No matter what kind of progress is made, however, it is still important for UM students to continue to embrace diversity in gender and sexual orientation, and for advocates like SpectrUM to push for this progress.

The Campus Pride Index, which looks at LGBTQ policy inclusion, student life and more, did not rank UM among the top 25

most gay friendly colleges. We received high marks in academic life, counseling and health, and policy inclusion, but there is room for improvement in LGBTQ support and institutional commitment, recruitment and retention efforts, and housing and residential life.

Looking at our achievements on this campus so far, we can see that the university is on the right path to becoming a top LGBTQfriendly institution. UM offers a minor in LGBTQ studies, which it launched last year, and it offers scholarships to students who pursue it. We also welcomed Delta Lambda Phi, a gay, bisexual and progressive male fraternity.

SpectrUM has grown from holding secret meetings in undisclosed locations to prevent members from being “outed” to one of the most respected organizations on campus, with its own suite in the Student Activities Center.

The university has formed an LGBTQ task force to evaluate the campus climate and address any issues, and we are eager to discover what policy decisions this leads the administration to make.

In the meantime, DragOut was a creative way to hold an event that is not only entertaining but also educational. Not everyone wants to attend a lecture by a guest speaker, but a drag show can still bring up the conversation about social issues (like it did for The Miami Hurricane editorial board).

We encourage this type of large-scale, public collaboration between the university community and LGBTQ students and supporters on campus. Pride should be worn on our sleeves all throughout the year – not just one week out of the semester.

Editorials represent the majority view of The Miami Hurricane editorial board.

While some consider smartwatches a reflection of society’s increasing laziness, I believe they serve as a respectable and inevitable response to the vast amount of information to which we now have access.

Consider the case of Android users on their way to the airport, trying to catch a flight but are stuck in traffic.

For them, the most relevant information is their flight status and estimated arrival time. Without a smartwatch, they would have to pull out their phone – already illegal – and

sift through various screens and key in some information before they finally get what they want.

A decade ago, access to this information from the car would have been a James Bond-esque luxury. However, we now have access to everything we want to know from wherever. We just need smart products – smartwatches – to help cut out the distractions.

Android Wear marks a significant step in the right direction for managing our lives. However, consumers often forget to think about privacy concerns, which tend to put a damper on advancements in technology. It is nevertheless important to remember that “smart” services can only be as smart as the amount of data we allow them to collect.

They analyze our behavior, figure out our habits and try to deliver information that adapts to our individual needs.

Moving forward, as our lives become increasingly digitized, the best strategy for consumers and innovators is to elucidate the boundary between what Google should and shouldn’t be allowed to know about what we’re up to.

State law limits free market Pull the plug W

hen the story of the closing of the George Washington Bridge broke, individuals were amazed that such brazen action was taken by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s administration in efforts to retaliate against a mayor who did not provide his political blessing to ChrisPAUL RYAN tie’s campaign. Now, New Jersey state BUSINESS/ politicians have another medal to hang ECONOMICS from their Trophy Case of Bad DeciCOLUMNIST sions: the legislation that bars Tesla Motors, Inc., an electric car company founded by Elon Musk, from using its direct sales business model to sell cars to consumers in New Jersey.

On March 11, New Jersey’s Motor Vehicle Commission voted to enforce a law that prevents new automobiles from being sold by any entity except for an independently franchised dealer. The vote effectively prevents Tesla from maintaining its current operations in New Jersey. This law not only bars progress for electric vehicles, but is also a significant blow to free market principles, and is a demonstration of the protection of car dealerships throughout the United States.

The laws related to the protection of car dealerships can be found in every state in the nation, given that approximately 20 percent of all state sales tax revenue is generated by new car sales. A study conducted by two economists from the University of Michigan and Yale University found that “all states require that car dealers be licensed,” making it illegal for companies such as Ford, GM, or Tesla to sell their cars unless they go through an independently licensed dealership. Besides being destructive to a free market, these laws ultimately pass on extra costs to consumers.

In all phases of a dealership’s life, there tends to be state legislation protecting an incumbent dealership. If a manufacturer decides that a new dealership is needed in an area, it

must prove that the need is there and that it will not infringe upon the current dealer’s “Relevant Market Area.”

A dealership can only be terminated by a manufacturer if it demonstrates “good cause,” a broad classification that gives dealerships a sufficient margin of legal protection. Even if a manufacturer has ample reason to close a dealership, the manufacturer must buy back the dealership’s new-car inventories, as well as its parts and supplies.

Many of these regulations stem from the belief that dealerships will provide better service and prices than a showroom run by the corporation itself. These assumptions are misguided. One study found that dealership restraints imposed by the government led to higher prices, higher costs, shorter store hours and lower consumption – all of which hurt the consumer.

Due to this regulation, more cost-effective distribution models, such as direct and online sales, are being stifled. Consumers need to realize that many state governments are using legislation to protect an industry that imposes unnecessary costs onto their constituents. This is an egregious misuse of the law.

What is perhaps most disappointing about the laws taken specifically against Tesla is where they have occurred.

In New Jersey, the governor is a potential future presidential candidate for the Republican Party, a party that espouses its belief in the free market. The two other states that currently have bans on Tesla’s direct sales model are Texas and Arizona, bastions of the GOP. Such policies are evidence of the hypocrisy of political rhetoric.

Luckily, consumers have power through the purchases they make and the votes they cast. As Milton Friedman once wrote, “Our society is what we make it.” We should make it a society that prevents favoritism and promotes free market principles, allowing our government to be “our servant and not letting it become our master.”

of lowering a person’s self-esteem.

If someone gets bid on for a large amount of money, while the following person doesn’t get bid on at all, the latter won’t feel great. Sometimes there are even two-for-one “deals” on people that are hard to sell, further cheapening the individuals involved.

The Association of Commuter Students is hosting a charity date auction on Thursday, but I hope there aren’t any others after that.

Student organizations need money – I get it. In the future, however, these organizations should consider the social ramifications and effects on the participants before holding a date auction. If you need to raise money, sell things, not people.

uildings on campus often remain fully lit long after business hours. This makes it easy to think that the University of Miami doesn’t care about energy efficiency and its environmental implications.

Despite this lighting issue, the fact of the matter is that the university AMANDA WOOD is working to improve campus enerENVIRONMENTAL gy efficiency. However, the changes COLUMNIST won’t work without help from students and faculty.

Though the Department of Facilities Management is improving building policies and technology, the upgrades are just one piece of the puzzle. A more significant and equally challenging step is getting the UM community to change its habits.

Large buildings may seem like a greater priority in the quest for energy efficiency, but “user behavior” is the main source of energy use – and waste – at UM. Even with hightech solutions, the campus will never be energy efficient without the help of students and faculty. With this in mind, we all need to make changes to use less energy.

Facilities Management has already implemented some new technology to reduce the impact of user behavior. One example is the ongoing installation of almost 2,000 occupancy sensors around campus, including in campus dorm rooms.

The occupancy sensors prevent wasted energy that results from individuals leaving lights and air conditioners running while they aren’t in the room. Such sensors have already been installed in the Mahoney and Pearson dorms, and have significantly decreased the buildings’ energy consumption.

Still, students and faculty can do their part to help limit energy waste. Small changes, like conserving the batteries of personal electronics by keeping them in “sleep mode” when not in use, can significantly reduce the university’s demand for energy.

This simple switch decreases the high “plug load” in outlets, which is caused by the constant need to charge electronics like laptops and smartphones. Energy will be saved in the long run, and saving energy reduces the need for fossil fuels.

With Earth Day approaching in the coming weeks, now is the perfect time to start thinking about how each of us can be more Earth-friendly. Though it might seem that facilities should be more concerned with large campus buildings, the fact is that changing our own actions makes a greater difference in UM’s energy use and improves the school’s environmental impact.

Illustrating this is a combined goal of Facilities Management, Green U and ECO board. It’s important for students to remember that our actions can make or break the energy efficiency of the university.

So, next time you walk by the library or Wellness Center and blame UM for leaving the lights on, remember that they’re taking steps to be more environmentally friendly – then ask yourself if you’re doing the same.

raising.

Until recently, I had never witnessed one. But a few weeks ago, I came across a date auction by chance. In the brief while that I watched, I was embarrassed by what I saw.

The organization played suggestive music as a young man prepared to take the stage. The auctioneer read off his credentials, and then the bidding began. Except it didn’t.

Unlike the person that had gone before him, no one would place a bid.

OPINION

While the organizations that hold these date auctions may be well intentioned, date auctions are distasteful and should be discontinued as a means of fundraising.

At the date auction I witnessed, the auctioneer had to step in and rally the crowd to bid for him.

Someone eventually did, but it was after he had uncomfortably stood there for several minutes waiting on bids that never came.

Date auctions are insensitive.

Throughout history, people have been bought and sold in the form of human trafficking. Selling people just to raise money for a cause makes light of what the survivors of human trafficking have had to endure. Being bought and sold is something that should be taken seriously, not done just to make a quick dollar.

When you tie a person’s worth to monetary value, you run the risk

MONICA HERNDON // PHOTO EDITOR TOURING CONTEMPORARY ART: Patrons browse the art exhibits in the Perez Art Museum Miami on February 8.

BY FRANK MALVAR SENIOR EDGE WRITER

You don’t have to be an art freak to enjoy an art museum. The Perez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) is a modern and contemporary art museum that exhibits international art of the 20th and 21st centuries. It’s a prime example of a museum you can take your friends to, even the ones who aren’t into art.

Since its opening in December 2013, PAMM has attracted flocks of patrons, who visit not only for the collection of more than 1,300 works of art, but also to see what else it has to offer.

THE ARCHITECTURE Designed by award-winning architects Herzog & de Meuron, this three-story building is a new addition to downtown. The second you park in the open-air parking garage beneath

the museum and begin walking through the surrounding landscape, you’ll know that this building is different from the other downtown buildings. Near the entrance of the museum, you’ll notice the impressive green hanging gardens.

Quick tip for tourists: the gardens may be nice, but you might get some water dripped on you if you stand underneath them. According to the architects, the gardens are meant to “bring the park into the museum.”

THE VIEW OF BISCAYNE BAY Nothing beats looking at a nice view when the weather is good. On the east side of the museum, visitors can sit down and enjoy the view of Biscayne Bay from their seats. Enjoy looking at the relaxing blue water reflecting sunlight, the cars driving on the expressway nearby and, of course, the cruise ships setting sail. Even with so much happening around you’ll feel calm.

THE ART Get lost in the museum’s two floors of art.

You’ll find everything from paintings to photographs to sculptures. If you’re into sculptures, take a look at Monika Sosnowska’s “Market,” an impressive giant green steel sculpture hanging from the ceiling comprised of more than 1,100 pounds of bent steel.

Don’t miss the new exhibition of Edouard Duval-Carrie: Imagined Landscapes, a series of his new works over the past year. Duval-Carrie is known for his strong colors, but there are works in this project in black and silver glitter.

Visitors flock to “Crystal Explorer” and “After Bierstadt: The Landing” in the exhibition.

brunch or dinner. For dinner, your choices range from hamachi sashimi for $14 to bistro steak which has swiss chard, sweet garlic and braised mushroom for $22.

Verde is open Tuesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Thursday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. The coffee bar is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

WHEN: PAMM is open Tuesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Thursday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. It is closed Mondays.

WHERE: The museum is located on 1103 Biscayne Blvd., Miami.

THE RESTAURANT (VERDE) If art isn’t your thing, then don’t pay admission to the museum and eat at Verde. Enjoy indoor or outdoor seating for your lunch,

PRICE: $8 for students (with ID) and $12 for adults. Free for members of the museum.

REVIEW

‘House of Lies’ soundtrack balances genres

BY MAGGY TORRES-RODRIGUEZ CONTRIBUTING EDGE WRITER

The third season of the Showtime favorite “House of Lies” came to a close on April 6. To celebrate the conclusion of the season and help deal with post-finale withdrawal, kick back with the show’s self-titled soundtrack and take a stroll down memory lane with some of the episodes’ catchy tunes.

For those of you who are new to the “House of Lies” bandwagon, the series is a must-see. Don Cheadle stars as a seditious, highly successful business consultant who will do whatever it takes to get his clients the information they need – even if it means compromising his morals and ethics.

Kristen Bell plays alongside Cheadle in the dark comedy series as an engagement manager and Cheadle’s love interest/dissident. The series was renewed for a fourth season coming in 2015, so keep your eyes out for the latest installment.

While you wait, pick up a copy of the show’s unforgettable soundtrack. The bluesy compilation album consists of 12

PHOTO COURTESY OF CAPITOL RECORDS

finger-snapping soulful tracks that are perfect for study music or to play while you brush up those waltzing skills.

Songs range from rock and roll to rhythm and blues to soft folk rock. There are tracks by artists such as crowd-favorite Aloe Blacc, Gary Clark Jr. and even a charming jazz number by Count Basie titled “Belly Roll.” The soundtrack alone

can drive you to watch the show if you’re not already a fan.

The record opens with “Bright Lights” by Gary Clark Jr., a sassy rhythmguitar driven track that’ll definitely have you strutting your stuff when nobody’s watching. “Bright lights, big city going to my head,” sings Clark, evoking memories for those not native to the Magic City of the first time they walked down South Beach.

In the mood for love? Switch on “This Love is Here to Stay” by the Norwegian singer-songwriter Thomas Dybdahl.

Dybdahl’s suave whisper and smooth falsetto harmony is sure to make you want to dance. So get those sexy, hip-twirling moves on standby and watch the ladies and gentlemen fall at your feet.

Still feeling dancey and trancey after Ultra? “Brains Out” by Kim Cesarion will satisfy that desire. The song is reminiscent of Justin Timberlake’s legendary “Rock Your Body” and perfect for when you’re in the mood to break out that complex shoulder shake you learned off YouTube.

When you’re in the mood to wind down and get deep, check out “It Always Comes Back Around” by Michael Kiwanuka. If you’re a fan of bassy deep voices like that of Beck, then you’ll love Kiwanuka’s vocals. The track is featured on the season finale, so make sure you give it a listen.

If you’re into blues, funk and lots of soul, this album would surely float your boat. There’s a little bit of everything in there to round off a good time – so get crackin’. Even if you missed the finale, be sure to catch the show once the reruns start.

HOUSE OF LIES The “House of Lies Soundtrack” can be purchased on iTunes.

‘The Mountaintop’ inspires with message to overcome

BY MADELYN PAQUETTE SENIOR EDGE WRITER

There are few American heroes more greatly revered than Martin Luther King, Jr., His non-violent crusade for the rights of his people earned him legendary status as an orator and an example of empathy and forgiveness of which to aspire.

But we often forget that the leaders who we elevate to mythical status were people just like us, with their own hidden quirks, habits and failings.

GableStage painted a far more intimate, complex portrait of the celebrated minister in their gripping production of “The Mountaintop.”

“The Mountaintop” was written by Katori Hall and opened in London in 2009, where it won the Olivier Award for Best New Play.

It premiered on Broadway in 2011, with Samuel L. Jackson making his Broadway debut in the lead role of Martin Luther King, Jr. The show depicts the last night of the civil rights icon’s life in a suite at the Lorraine Motel, where he has an enlightening and challenging discussion with a maid who is more than she seems. GableStage’s 8

THE MIAMI HURRICANE

production crackled with intensity from start to finish; an impressive achievement for a two person show performed in a single act.

Although the script itself is sometimes a bit heavy-handed in its delivery of the show’s core themes, the show’s performers made the material look topnotch.

C. Anthony Jackson was a first-class embodiment of Martin Luther King, Jr., from his speaking patterns to his physical appearance.

He accomplished the formidable task of humanizing the larger-than-life figure, bringing unexpected elements of playfulness and vulnerability to the role, while still endowing his more grandiose speeches with the appropriate sense of gravitas.

Any actress playing against a character as powerful as Martin Luther King, Jr., runs the risk of being overshadowed, but Karen Stephens was more than up to the challenge.

In her role as Camae, a motel maid who has more depth and mystery to her than she first appears, Stephens practically radiated dynamism and electrifying spirit.

April 10 - April 13, 2014

She commanded the stage with her magnetic presence, most notably while giving her own rendition of an imagined speech by the Reverend.

The chemistry between Jackson and Stephen was nothing short of exhilarating, constantly turning on a dime from one extreme of emotion to another.

“The Mountaintop’s” technical elements were up to GablesStage’s usual standard of quality.

The motel room set was incredibly detailed, and subtle shifts in lighting were effectively utilized during the production to underline significant moments.

The most impressive isolated element, however, was the simulated rain and snow visible through the motel window, which added that extra touch of realism that distinguishes good productions from great ones.

One of the most affecting moments of the production comes near the play’s denouement, when Martin Luther King, Jr., completely drops his facade and confesses that he only ever wanted to be a simple minister, but was called against his will to the highest mountaintop.

It’s an admission of self-doubt and regret which we, as a society, rarely allow our heroes to display.

But, if anything, this humanity only makes his leadership even more inspiring.

GableStage’s production of “The Mountaintop” is a funny, touching portrayal of an ordinary man who became extraordinary, and a poignant reminder for the audience of the power of the human spirit to overcome.

THE MOUNTAINTOP WHERE: GableStage, 1200 Anastasia Ave., Coral Gables WHEN: 8 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.

Sundays, through April 13 COST: Tickets range from $15 to $55.

Canes hang on to beat UCF, win ninth straight No. 20 Miami blows 5-0 lead, but pulls ahead late

BY A.J. RICKETTS SENIOR SPORTS WRITER

Six days ago, the Miami Hurricanes baseball team overcame a five-run deficit against Virginia Tech on the road, winning in dramatic fashion in the final inning.

Wednesday night, it was the Hurricanes that blew a five-run lead.

They still found a way to win.

Resiliency has been a theme for the Hurricanes during their nine-game winning streak, one that has vaulted them back into the Top 25 in every national poll, and started to put them in the discussion for hosting a postseason regional.

Miami was on the road facing a Central Florida squad that had won 13 of its past 15 games, a run that began in Coral Gables when the Knights defeated the Hurricanes in dominating fashion, 9-3.

Javi Salas made his first start since giving up six runs in the first inning against BethuneCookman on March 11. That was his first start following his perfect game, and it was a struggle from the first pitch, when he gave up a hit to right field.

Wednesday night, Salas was in top form, going five strong innings, giving up no runs, his best start of the season aside from the historic perfect game.

Salas at one point retired eight straight UCF batters, in front of a packed Jay Bergman Field that filled the stands to see the Canes for the first time in two years. Last time the two

teams met in Orlando, a dramatic 3-2 game unfolded in 2012 that included an ejection of then Miami catcher Peter O’Brien.

This time, the Hurricanes bullpen surrendered three runs in the bottom of the sixth, and two in the bottom of the eighth, enabling the Knights to tie the game heading into the final frame.

As the top of the ninth began, Miami’s 5-through-9 batters were 0-14 on the night, with cleanup hitter Zack Collins leading off. Collins struck out, but that is where the Miami rally began.

Brad Fieger lined his first hit of the game up the middle, and after John Laworski pinchran for Fieger, Brandon Lopez perfectly executed a hit and run that moved Laworski to third.

Garrett Kennedy then drew a walk, and the bases were loaded for Alex Hernandez.

Hernandez, a senior who was hitless on the day, made contact out to deep left center field, and that was all Miami needed to score a speedy Laworski from third.

Suddenly, Miami was back on top 6-5.

Bryan Garcia, one of the top pitchers out of the bullpen all season for Miami, and tied for the ACC lead in saves, worked his way through a dramatic inning that included two base runners with one out and a leadoff double.

However, Garcia, who has worked his way through jams all season long, induced a twoout popup to Jonny Ruiz at third, ending the game, giving Garcia the win, and the Canes their ninth straight game in a most thrilling fashion.

Miami will face Pittsburgh at Mark Light Field 7 p.m. Friday, aiming for a seventh straight ACC victory.

Dear James Franco,

V, DEAR V

I just found out that I have Type 1 (or oral) herpes in my ... nether regions. The doctors told me that this type of herpes only causes one outbreak down there and then it goes away forever. Should I still tell the people I’ve been with? I mean, if it’s only one outbreak, will anyone really notice? It’s not chronic or anything.

Sincerely, That girl in “White Chicks”

I might have infected my lovers ...

I’m going to advise that you take a breather, step back and keep calm about this situation. That’s the first thing you should be doing.

My first instinct is to tell you to keep your mouth shut. You don’t want to be known as that girl who gave someone herpes.

But (and this is a big butt), after careful consideration, I think you should tell the people that could have come into contact with about this little inconvenience of yours.

I know in some states, someone can be prosecuted for failing to inform their sexual partners of a sexually transmitted infection.

So, unless you want to go to jail for having herpes, I suggest you take out your little black book and start calling up some people.

I’m not sure how many sexual partners you’ve had or you could have had between the time that you think you got it and now, but it’s worth spending your day making some phone calls. It’s inevitably going to be a touchy conversation. The other person will pick up the phone for what they think is a booty call and then you’ll drop the bomb

on them. Chances are that you haven’t actually infected anyone and you’re right: This is a very mild outbreak that can be easily controlled and contained. You just need to let these people know that the possibility exists. It’ll be uncomfortable and you’ll want to abruptly hang up the phone, but you’ll at least be able to clear your conscience.

I’m sorry you have to suffer through this, but be the bigger person and tell your sexual partners that they might have Type 1 herpes. They’ll thank you later for sparing them the embarrassment of having to explain their sores to someone else.

Just look on the bright side: You’ll move past this and then you’ll be able to have sex without worrying about how gross your disease is.

Be a little bit more careful next time, OK? You might not be so lucky. And trust me, there are worse things you could be infected with. Just Google “gross STDs.” The pictures are deadly.
