Study: Students ‘Don’t Call, Just Text’ Port of Tampa

By Naim Naif C O R R E S P O N D E N T

Preston Williams, originally from St. Augustine, Florida, moved to Tampa to attend USF. He used to drive to St. Augustine every other week to visit his mother, but now, he almost always texts her instead.

There are no more occasional face-to-face visits, unless it’s a holiday, and to Williams, this is simply the most efficient way of communication.

“It’s easy, it’s fast, and I can talk to my mom anytime I want,” he said.

Williams is not alone in this preference.

Lloyd Pettegrew, a professor in the USF Department of Communication, and Carolyn Day, assistant professor in the Department of Communication at the Savannah College of Art & Design, recently conducted the first research study to confirm the trend previous studies have already suggested — the way humans communicate is shifting.

Rather than communicating in

person, the study found people choose to communicate through mobile technologies such as texting and messaging apps.

The published study “Don’t Call, Just Text” involved 526 USF communication and mass communication students, ranging from those in basic introductory courses to advanced senior-level classes. The students were given a 31-item questionnaire that mainly asked about their mobile technology use and the impact of mobile technology on their relationships with friends, family and significant others.

The two researchers chose to survey communication students in order to purposefully bias the results in favor of face-to-face communication over mobile messaging. They reasoned the students’ knowledge of the impact of mobile messaging on society, as well as the importance of in-person communication, would produce less dramatic results than expected.

Despite this handicap, the study found more than three-fourths of the surveyed students believed

mobile messaging greatly or moderately alters the way they communicate with their friends.

More than a fourth of the students said the ability to keep in constant touch and have instant feedback helps them develop close relationships, and 17 percent said mobile messaging makes communicating quicker and easier. Almost one in three students said they spend two to three hours a day texting friends, and 6 percent said they spend more than 10 hours a day doing so.

When romantic partners are concerned, only 27 percent said messaging a romantic partner is not better than face-to-face communication. Though 23 percent preferred mobile communication because they can always communicate with their partners when they are apart, another 13 percent said messaging makes them less nervous or more confident, and 3 percent said it helps to avoid faceto-face conflicts.

A small percentage of respondents had mixed answers, with 5

percent preferring messaging to be more risqué privately or sext, and one respondent stated, “I could always choose not to respond so she has no opportunity to nag at me.”

The most significant reason students gave for why mobile messaging is better with a romantic partner is that it allows them to communicate while they are away from their significant other.

“We found that young people rely on phones heavily in developing relationships and intimate relationships,” Pettegrew said.

The study was the largest ever done on the subject, and Pettegrew said one of the reasons he conducted the research was to shock other communication experts who still believe direct person-to-person communication is more popular than mobile messaging. Although Pettegrew believes his research is accurate, he understands it doesn’t necessarily mean everyone shares this preference, and students at USF have mixed reactions about n See TEXTING on PAGE 3

ships out partnership with USF

E D I T O R

Though Port Tampa Bay handled nearly one-third of all cargo moving through Florida last year, Mark Luther, associate professor in physical oceanography at USF’s College of Marine Science, said the port will soon require a workforce expansion.

“Maritime commerce fuels the global economy, and if the economy is going to grow in a sustainable fashion, ports and harbors … have to grow along with it,” he said. “A lot of the people who work in that business now are getting older and nearing retirement, and there aren’t a lot of young professionals entering that field.”

Luther said this initiative to expand the workforce of ports in the Southeast was one of the driving forces behind USF and Port Tampa Bay’s decision to enter a three-year research partnership.

While the partnership was announced late May, Luther said he is currently developing a curriculum for an introduction to a series of planned online courses.

Luther has collaborated on port research with Port Tampa Bay for over 20 years, and he said the courses are expected to be part of a future standalone certificate program in maritime transportation studies.

“There is no other coursework within the university that focuses on this,” Luther said. “Within an existing degree program … if you take four of the five courses, you could get a certificate in maritime transportation studies or port maritime studies to go along with your degree.”

This program is not only aimed at students in marine science, as Luther said students in any field with some relation to port operations — such as engineering, busin See PORT on PAGE 3

this study.

Freshman Angela Ferguson said texting instead of talking face-toface isn’t enough to maintain a relationship. Ferguson said texting is slow, and she becomes impatient awaiting a response. The results of the study, however, don’t surprise her.

“I’ve been texting since middle school, so it’s nothing surprising to me that the results came out the way they did,” she said.

Other students disagreed, and marketing major Mariya Topchy said texting is the easiest and most upfront way to communicate with

ness, finance or even public health — could work for a port and benefit from this certification. He said the course could also serve as continuing education for those already in the port industry.

To create the curriculum for the introduction course, Luther said he worked with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Office for Coastal Management to create a prototype web tool for the outline of the course, named “Port Tomorrow.”

The tool is broken into three sections — Marine Transportation, Port Communities and Coastal Hazards — and features a dropdown bar which displays port statistics, maps and background info for each of the tool’s segments.

The webpage, like the introduction course, focuses on using Tampa Bay as an example for how a port operates and interacts with the local environment, the economy and surrounding communities. Luther said a specific lesson topic includes the environmental effects of ports on water quality, air quality and marine habitats.

He said while he is the only USF faculty member developing the curriculum, he plans on formalizing relationships with faculty in other colleges to help develop later courses. These include the Patel College of Global Sustainability, College of Engineering, College of Public Health and the Muma College of Business.

“I’m working on the … overview course, and once I get that finished — which I hope will be in the next few weeks — we’ll start to bring on other partners from these other colleges,” Luther said. “I’ve had informal discussions with them but nothing in

Some students had a stronger reaction to this study, and graduate student Bethany Loya said if this trend continues, she thinks it’s not unreasonable for a person with a preference for mobile messaging to become depressed and lonely.

“Sure, people are going to be more connected than ever, but they’ll also be more lonely than ever,” she said.

Graduate student Magdala SaintLouis agreed and added that staying connected over text “creates an illusion that you are surrounded by people.”

In the study’s conclusion, Pettegrew and Day write that the study suggests mobile technology is entirely replacing or at least competing with face-to-face interactions.

While many students surveyed recognized the addictive nature and emotional limitations of mobile technology, they still admitted to using it often and more so than regular conversation.

The researchers write that mobile technology is having a significant effect on today’s average public space and social behavior, and this trend may call for a different view of modern communication processes and how they operate when analyzed in future studies.

writing yet.”

Future courses in the certificate program could teach students how to meet new interdisciplinary needs emerging in the port industry, and Luther said Port Tampa Bay could merge its existing internship program, as well as a field research trip to the port, with future curricula.

“People at Port Tampa Bay … have been reviewing a lot of my course material and suggesting topics that they’re very interested in or that they would expect a potential hire to have some knowledge of,” Luther said.

Bob Callahan, Vice President of Operations for Port Tampa Bay, said while the port and USF have collaborated on maritime port research since the early 1990’s, this new partnership allows for an expansion of this relationship by permitting the port to work with the university in areas which would normally be considered outside the port’s normal area of operations.

“The (partnership) allows (Luther) to draw from the expertise of the senior advisers here at

Port Tampa Bay,” Callahan said.

“If it’s information for the (partnership), then we’re authorized to provide that.”

Other than developing the certificate program, Callahan said USF and Port Tampa Bay will be working under the partnership to improve marine sensor technology and its Physical Oceanographic Real-Time System (PORTS), which provides oceanographic data — such as currents, water levels and wave height — to help ships navigate safely and more efficiently.

“We need to get valid information that helps people to make decisions and analyze a situation which could be profitable or dangerous,” Callahan said. “A ship could go aground and possibly do damage to the ecosystem, to the ship or to life (on board).”

Luther said depending on how many students enroll, he expects the maritime port study introduction course to be available in the upcoming fall semester. To view NOAA’s web tool for an outline of this course, please visit coast.noaa.gov/port/.

Breakfast Quiche

Putting a spin on microwavable food with fresh ingredients

By Christopher Collier C O M M E N T A R Y

It isn’t every day the words ‘fresh ingredients’ and ‘microwave’ are used in the same recipe, but the two are more compatible than one might think.

For a healthy dinner idea which doesn’t require an oven or stove, give this recipe of microwaved salmon, zucchini and corn on the cob on a bed of spinach and greens a try.

Sockeye Salmon in particular is currently in season and is affordable enough to make this an enjoyable meal that won’t break the bank. This meal requires: • 1 Alaskan Sockeye or Atlantic Salmon filet • 1 ear of yellow corn in the husk • 1 lemon (cut into wheels or slices) • 1 package of raw spinach and greens • ½ tbsp. Parsley • 1 zucchini • 2 tbsp. mayonnaise (optional) • 1-2 tbsp. Sriracha (optional) • ½ stick of butter • Salt and black pepper • Water • Plastic wrap

Sauce

This is an optional sauce that will provide a kick of flavor to the salmon and is also great for dipping. Before deciding to cook the salmon with this sauce, taste it first as too much Sriracha can overpower the natural flavor of the salmon. When making this dish for guests, it is advised to use less Sriracha than usual and provide them with a small bowl in order to dip the salmon.

To make the sauce, begin by adding the mayonnaise to a bowl. Using a spoon, flatten out the mayonnaise and make an indention in the center.

Then begin adding the Sriracha to taste. The sauce should be a light orange color and a thick consistency when complete.

Corn on the cob

This is the easiest to make and requires little effort, but be careful when removing as the corn will be hot.

Cut the top and bottom segments of the husk off and leave the corn in the husk for now. Wash the husk, pat dry and place into the microwave on a paper towel. Make sure husks have at least an inch separating them and cook on high for one minute.

Flip the husk over and continue cooking for another min-

ute. The husk and stringy sections should slide off and be ready for buttering and salting. If it provides resistance, cook on high for another 15 seconds.

Zucchini

Using a microwaveable safe container, pour water into the bottom for steaming the zucchini. After cutting the top and bottom of the zucchini off, place into the container. Place at least two flats of butter on top of each zucchini and cover the top of the container with plastic wrap.

Poke only one hole in the center — any more than this could ruin the zucchini.

On high, microwave the zucchini for one minute. Turn over the zucchini and repeat the same way as the corn. If the zucchini is too firm, microwave for an additional 30 seconds. Beware of overcooking – zucchini in the microwave is quickly ruined.

Salmon

Be careful when cooking salmon — if not cooked long enough the fish could present a health hazard, and if cooked too long the fish will have the texture of a rubber shoe.

To avoid this, vigilantly check on the salmon throughout the cooking process.

Begin by washing the salmon thoroughly with cool water and pat dry. Place the filet skinside down onto a microwavesafe container and rub several pinches of salt into the flesh.

Let the salmon sit for roughly 10 minutes before adding a pinch of black pepper.

If deciding to cook with the Sriracha sauce, slather the face of the filet with it. Place the lemon slices side-by-side on top of the fish and sprinkle half of the parsley onto it. Cover the container tightly with plastic wrap and poke one hole into the center as with the zucchini.

Microwave on high for three and a half minutes and begin to check to see if done. If uncertain the fish is done, look first at the sides for color changes — the color should be uniformly different throughout. If still unsure, take a fork and test the firmness. If the fish begins to flake and doesn’t provide much resistance from piercing the center, the salmon is ready to eat. Place the salmon on the spinach and greens, and slice the zucchini and arrange around the fish.

For a quick, healthy breakfast recipe which doesn’t require a skillet, try a microwaveable breakfast quiche.

This quiche takes just a minute and a half to cook and can be cooked in any microwavesafe conical container — even a coffee mug. Despite what some might think, cooking eggs in the microwave produces a light, fluffy and delicious addition to any breakfast.

This recipe requires: • 1 egg • Ham slices • 1-2 tbsp. cream cheese • 1-1 ½ tsp. butter • Milk • Salt and pepper • Scallions • Shredded sharp cheddar cheese • ¼-½ cup bread crumbs • Fork or egg whisk In a microwave-safe container, add one egg and beat until smooth. Then add a spoonful of cream cheese and 1-2 pats of butter. As these are mixed together, add an equal amount of milk to the mixture. Stir with a fork or egg until smooth.

Wash the scallions under hot water, making sure to remove any dirt or grime. Slice up the scallions and pour into the egg mixture. Next, add the ham slices and stir. Add in a couple pinches of salt, a pinch of black pepper and stir for about thirty seconds.

Although quiche is traditionally made with ham, any breakfast meat can be substituted (sausage, bacon, etc.) for this dish.

Stir in enough cheese to the egg mixture to cover the surface and add the bread crumbs. Let the bread absorb the egg mixture to avoid a watery quiche.

Take care not to overmix – just stir enough to cover the crumbs.

Now, add more cheese until the egg mixture’s surface is covered.

Place the quiche into a microwave and set it to high.

Microwave the quiche for one and a half to two minutes, allowing the quiche five minutes to cool.

Environment should be the real priority in Florida’s BP settlement After the explosion on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig that unleashed about 134 million barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, the petroleum company BP finally came to a settlement with the affected Gulf states.

Last week, BP agreed to pay $18.7 billion after its lawsuit with Florida and four other states in damages for water pollution, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

Florida could expect more than $3.25 billion paid over a period of 18 years. While Florida’s lawsuit did not include damages to the state’s environment and the settlement will only repair economic losses, projects aimed at environmental restoration should also be the focus of funding.

As mentioned in the Times, $2 billion will be going toward repairing losses in the tourism and seafood industries. Though Florida’s tourism is dependent on the state’s environment, as oiled beaches damaged the view of Florida as a picturesque vacation spot, some of the approved restoration projects don’t affect the environment at all.

The gulf restoration projects currently in conversation are for purely economic benefit. For example, some include starting a ferry service, opening a boat ramp and fixing a boardwalk, as discussed in the Times.

It’s unclear how the rest of the money will be spent, but since Florida’s shorelines were affected by 2.8 million pounds of oil product, according to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), it’s obvious the money should be allocated to more important projects than solar-powered lights.

While the tourism industry does need restoration for it’s lost revenue in various taxes, from sales to alcohol, the tourism projects that get funded should also attempt to simultaneously improve the environment, whether with emphasis on conservation, restoration or

research.

The oil spill had a clearly devastating effect on Florida’s marine life. As mentioned in the Times, it killed pelicans, dolphins and sea turtles and caused deformities in shrimp and crabs. As found

by USF researchers, it also left fish with lesions and oil in sandy patties that washed onto Pinellas County’s Sunset Beach.

The focus, then, should be less on reeling in money for tourist attractions and more about helping what can be saved.

Previous projects in the state to recover both the economy and the environment after the spill — projects funded by the Natural Resource Damage Assessment, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and MOEX Offshore — show the money used for both efforts was nearly equal. According to DEP, about $89 million and $87 million were spent on recreational and ecological projects, respectively. The settlement should have been allocated similarly.

Though tourism is what drives the state’s economy, the condition of Florida’s wildlife is just as important, if not more so, especially since tourism is dependent on the state’s environment — which was one of many lessons learned in the Deepwater Horizon disaster.

According to the Times, Tampa will get $27.4 million, which is less than the city expected.

Hillsborough County will receive $28 million and plans to use $600,000 on improvements to parks and fishing areas.

The oil spill is deemed the worst environmental disaster in the country’s history, and the long-term damage of the incident won’t be known for years, according to the National Wildlife Federation. The Times noted that Florida received the best possible deal, so the money should then be for handling environmental disturbances that still remain after five years’ time.

“I think I’m in the middle.

I don’t mind if it’s not in person, but I need to understand emotion.”

Athletes can’t afford to play with fire USF alum Jason Pierre-Paul and Bucs’ C.J. Wilson put careers at risk after fireworks accidents. n

Vinnie Portell C O M M E N TA R Y

Jason Pierre-Paul exploded onto the NFL scene in 2011 with the New York Giants, making his first Pro Bowl and cementing himself as a leader on the defensive line, but his career was put in serious jeopardy Saturday due to a fireworks accident.

Since coming out of USF in 2010, Pierre-Paul has played four seasons with the Giants and was due for the first big payday of his career, as he’s set to earn nearly $15 million after earning less than a combined $6 million in his first four seasons.

But his status and future with the team is now dependent on whether he can get his hands ready for the

Coach Ken Eriksen has won the World Cup of Softball with Team USA in four of his five seasons.

ORACLE FILE PHOTO/ADAM MATHIEU

NFL season. Reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter late Wednesday, Pierre-Paul was severely burned and had one of his fingers amputated.

Pierre-Paul should consider himself lucky, all things considered.

The star defensive end’s injury came at a poor time for negotiations, but his career and more importantly, his body, are still intact for the most part.

The Giants have already pulled their long-term offer to Pierre-Paul of $60 million and his salary for this season could be withheld if he’s placed on the NFL’s non-football injury list.

ESPN.com has reported that doctors have said the injury shouldn’t be career threatening and he should be able to play this season, but this isn’t the case for Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback C.J. Wilson.

Wilson, 25, is entering the third year of his NFL career and is set to make $585,000 after earning $495,000 last season.

There are minimal reports out regarding the extent of his injury,

but the Lincoln Times-News reported Wilson lost two fingers in the incident.

“We are aware that C.J. was involved in an accident that occurred over the July 4th holiday,” the Buccaneers said in a statement. “It is our understanding that the injury occurred to one of his hands, and our primary concern at this moment is for his long-term health. We have been in contact with C.J. and are continuing to monitor the situation.”

While the team is undoubtedly worried about Wilson’s health, he most likely won’t maintain his spot on the roster when he checks out of the hospital.

But Wilson and Pierre-Paul knew the sacrifices they were making when they signed their NFL contracts.

Playing on football’s biggest stage for exorbitant amounts of money is something players are taking for granted.

Wilson will likely have to prematurely end his NFL career and thus, his best chance at fortune and fame.

Jason Pierre-Paul became the highest-drafted USF player in program history when he was taken 15th overall in the 2010 NFL Draft. SPECIAL TO THE ORACLE/GOUSFBULLS.COM On the other hand, Pierre-Paul imagine how quickly a collegiate likely won’t have to worry about athlete would be dismissed from his future in the league, but that their team for a stunt as foolish wouldn’t have been the case if as this. this injury had occurred when he Any player is one injury away played for USF. from ending their career and that’s If professional players like something athletes — especially at Wilson severely lack leverage in a the collegiate level — need to take situation like this, it’s not hard to heed from Pierre-Paul and Wilson.

Eriksen, Nevins team up for World Cup win

By Vinnie Portell S P O R T S

E D I T O R

Even though pitcher Sara Nevins graduated from USF over a year ago, she and coach Ken Eriksen showed they can still win together when Team USA defeated Japan 6-1 in the World Cup of Softball X Championship in Irvine, California on Sunday.

Team USA won six of seven games en route to the championship, with its lone loss a 4-1 defeat to Canada on Friday.

Outside of that loss, Team USA outscored the competition 45-3.

In the championship game Sunday, the team got out to an early 3-0 lead in the first inning that it would never relinquish.

“We always talk about winning the first inning defensively and offensively to get us off to a good

start,” Eriksen said in a release from USA Softball.

Pitcher Jessica Moore ensured the team’s lead would hold up as she held Japan to three hits and one run over 4 1/3 innings.

Nevins threw the final 2 2/3 innings, allowing one walk and no hits to earn the save.

The championship was Eriksen’s fourth in five years as coach of Team USA. Team USA will be in search of another tournament victory when it plays in the Pan American Games in Toronto from July 15-26.

Two Bulls named to watch lists Following a record-breaking season, AAC Freshman of the Year Marlon Mack has been nominated to the watch list for the Maxwell Award, the award given to the best college football player.

Mack is one of five AAC players to make the 80-player list due to his 1,041 rushing yards and nine touchdowns.

Joining Mack on a watch list is senior tight end Sean Price.

Price has been named to the watch list for the John Mackey Award, which is given to the best tight end in college football.

Price has produced similar numbers in each of his first three seasons with USF, catching somewhere between 15 and 20 passes for around 200 yards.

But now that Price is a senior and former tight end Mike McFarland is no longer around to take away receptions, Price could be in for his best season yet as a Bull.

Williams steps up play After being held to no points in her first game with Team USA

in the World University Games in Gwanju, South Korea, Courtney Williams found her shooting stroke over the past two games.

She scored 18 points on 8-of17 shooting and grabbed eight rebounds in Team USA’s 90-75 victory over China on Monday.

Williams again helped Team USA to another win when she scored eight points in the first quarter against the Czech Republic.

The rest of the team responded to Williams’ early spark, leading them to a 92-54 win Tuesday.

With Team USA (3-0) making it through group play unscathed, it will now advance to the medal round quarterfinals.

The quarterfinals will kick off for Team USA today when it plays Hungary (2-1) at 7:30 EDT. The game will be broadcast on ESPNU.
