Christie knew about closures, according to letter By Erin Petenko Associate News Editor
Gov. Chris Christie’s administration has come under fire since Friday when revelations arose that Christie may have known about the George Washington Bridge lane closures, and that he mishandled Sandy relief aid by sending it to a New Brunswick apartment building. Christie’s administration sent $4.8 million to the construction complex on Somerset and Condict streets from the Hurricane Sandy relief fund, according to an NBC report. But a report from the Rutgers School of Public Affairs and Administration in Newark, N.J., ranked New Brunswick as only 188 on a list of the most damaged municipalities. Coming after accusations that Christie blocked relief for Hoboken, N.J., to push his redevelopment plan for the area, the New Brunswick expense raises questions about how the governor’s
administration spent relief aid on storm-ravaged New Jersey. Anthony Marchetta, executive director of the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency, defended the expense, citing Middlesex County as one of the hardest-hit counties, one of nine declared an emergency disaster area after the storm, according to the article. He said the New Brunswick project was one of 36 that aims to increase the amount of affordable housing in New Jersey. Overall, the state has committed $157 million to the project, and 48 of the 238 apartments in the new complex could be classified as affordable housing, according to the report. The money for the complex comes from the Fund for Rebuilding Multifamily Housing, which offers loans to developers of eligible affordable and mixed-income rental housing in New Jersey, according to the NJHMFA.

Pre-medical Website helps save money on course books students host famed doctors By Erin Walsh Staff Writer
By Katie Park Correspondent
At the Rutgers chapter’s sixth annual American Medical Students Association conference, speakers aimed to inspire future doctors with discussions about treating phantom limb, tasting shapes and testing HIV positive. Sarah Hossain, co-president of the Rutgers chapter of AMSA, said the conference, held on Saturday in the Livingston Student Center, helped students on the pre-med track program understand their future career opportunities. “A lot of the speakers that come are Rutgers graduates — they know what it’s like, and they give you a good idea of the path that they are going to take,” said Hossain, a School of Environmental and Biological Sciences senior. The conference featured 30 diverse events, including “Hands-On Surgical Skills” and “Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine,” that appealed to a broad range of interests in the medical field. Lokesh Lahoti, co-president of the AMSA, said the Rutgers University Student Assembly was the primary funder of the conference, along with other sponsors like the Kaplan Test Prep. Several prominent doctors were present at the event, including Dr. Vilayanur S. Ramachandran, the keynote speaker at the Third Annual Julesz Lecture on Brain See DOCTORS on Page 6
BIGWORDS.com allows students to compare textbook prices all over the web. It also tells students the difference between textbook rental and purchasing prices. TIAN LI / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER
When purchasing textbooks, students have the option of visiting a website that compares prices from all over the web in order to find the cheapest textbook available. In addition to this, BIGWORDS.com tells students if it is cheaper to rent or buy a textbook. Jeff Sherwood, CEO of BIGWORDS.com, said his site compares books sold by sites like Amazon, textbooks.com and eBay. “There were several competing businesses selling textbooks,” Sherwood said. “We wanted to cut through the marketing hype and create a single source that would compare prices from everywhere at once.”
Students can enter in the International Standard Book Number of the textbook they need on BIGWORDS.com, and the site generates a list of prices from different sites to find the lowest price possible for a given book. Sherwood said BIGWORDS.com also tells students the buyback value for their textbooks at the end of the semester. He said he created an algorithm to determine the buyback value that looks at a number of factors, such as book condition and the age of the book, to predict what it should be worth at the end of the semester when students sell back their books.

Professor discusses fossil fuel use reduction By Andrew Rodriguez Staff Writer
The consumption of energy is a common problem, whether it is through energy-eating supercomputers or the lack of carpooling by those who commute to work. The Rutgers Energy Institute invited Richard York from the University of Oregon to speak last Friday at the Marine Sciences Building on Cook campus. York’s seminar, titled “The Challenges of Reducing Fossil Fuel Use,” stressed the complications of reducing fossil fuel dependency. York, a professor in the Department of Environmental Studies and Sociology at the University of Oregon, focused on how society de-
pends on fossil fuels and how this dependency can be reduced. “I’m somewhat skeptical of how problems are framed as technical and solvable with appropriate technological innovation and application,” he said. “Technology matters, but as a social scientist, the theme I’m running here is how the society manages a certain technology.” He said he believes many reasons exist for societies not to focus on extracting fossil fuels. Fossil fuels contribute to greenhouse gases, air pollution and increase the severity of oil spills. He introduced his idea called the “displacement paradox,” which demonstrates how difficult it is to replace fossil fuel energy.
“Nations developing non-fossil fuel sources of energy do see a suppressing effect on fossil fuels, but the replacement is not as effective as one would hope,” York said. This struggle to replace fossil fuel energy is demonstrated by a 50-year study held by Nature Climate Change from 1960 to 2009, he said. The global study suggested on average, 10 units of non-fossil fuel energy replaced one unit of fossil fuel energy. It is clear energy sources like hydropower, solar, geothermal and wind have impacts on fossil fuel generation, but society is too reliant on fossil fuels to easily replace it, he said. “Research in many fields suggests that a lot of the reasons we want things are because we
produce them,” York said. “The supply affects the demand — by adding or supplying energy we generate consumption.” Having different methods of generating energy also makes it necessary to find ways to transport the energy, he said. This contributes to a rise in energy production as well as fossil fuel consumption. This effect was also illustrated in the past, he said. Before fossil fuels, oil from animals was a major source of energy. People used whale oil for lighting, margarine and industrial lubricants. “There’s a certain irony to this situation,” he said. “The discovery of petroleum should have saved the See reduction on Page 6

Students explore fitness classes during free trial By Jessica Herring Staff Writer
To encourage students to stay active and attend fitness classes, Rutgers Recreation provided students with the opportunity to choose from 21 different classes for free for a week. From Jan. 27 to Feb. 2, students did not have to pay the usual $60 to attend a fitness class during the full semester, said Kathi Gladis, aerobic coordinator for the Cook/Douglass Recreation Department. The free flex pass week was a good bargain because it allowed students to tr y out many classes for free and see which ones they would like to sign up for, Gladis said. She said she teaches fitness yoga, Pilates, spinning and BODYFLOW classes. “The [fitness yoga] class is different than going to the gym because it offer students a group environment where they can exercise to music,” she said. Yoga is a fitness-based approach where students can destress and build their strength, Gladis said. She has taught yoga at the Rutgers Recreation Center for 12 years. She star ted teaching fitness classes because she loved them, and when she brought her kids to classes, they really enjoyed it too. She has also been teaching at the University for about 20 years as a professor in the De-
par tment of Exercise Science and Spor t Studies, she said. Chelsea Ng, a BODYSTEP class teacher, has been teaching fitness classes for three years at the University. She said she became interested in teaching fitness classes due to her interest in group fitness classes during high school. She feels that attending fitness classes is a more social way to work out compared to going to the gym. The group setting and seeing other people in the class makes students more motivated, she said. Ng said the BODYSTEP class is a positive and energizing workout. It allows students to work on their cardio and muscles by using adjustable steps and weights. The BODYSTEP class is fairly new, she said. It only became a class last semester. Megan Hewitt, a School of Environmental and Biological Sciences senior, went to the BODYSTEP class for her first time. “The body step class was good for cardio and conditioning. It made me really push myself,” she said. She said she plans to come back again to this class and is going to take fitness yoga and Zumba classes as well. “I am glad they offer free flex pass week because I can try a lot of different classes and see which ones I really like with no commitment,” she said.

SUPER BOWL SUNDAY EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The Seattle Seahawks’ mantra all season was to make each day a championship day. They made Super Bowl Sunday the best day of all with one of the greatest performances in an NFL title game — sparked by a defense that ranks among the best ever. The Seahawks won their first Super Bowl crown in overpowering fashion, punishing Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos 43-8. That masterful defense, the NFL’s stingiest, never let the five-time MVP get going, disarming the highest-scoring offense in league history.
Seattle (16-3) was too quick, too physical and just too good for Denver, and that was true in all areas. What was hyped as a classic matchup between an unstoppable offense and a miserly defense turned into a rout. “We been relentless all season,” quarterback Russell Wilson said. “Having that mentality of having a championship day every day. At the end of the day, you want to play your best football and that is what we did today.” Punctuating Seattle’s dominance were a 69-yard interception return touchdown by linebacker
Malcolm Smith to make it 22-0, and Percy Harvin’s sensational 87yard kickoff runback to open the second half. Smith was the game’s MVP, the first defender in 11 years to win the award. When the Seahawks, up by 29 points, forced a Denver punt early in the third quarter, the 12th Man — and there were legions of them in MetLife Stadium — began chanting “L-O-B, L-O-B.” As in Legion of Boom, the Seahawks hard-hitting secondary, part of young team with an average age of 26 years, 138 days.

“This is an amazing team. Took us four years to get to this point but they never have taken a step sideways,” coach Pete Carroll said. “These guys would not take anything but winning this ballgame.” The loss by the Broncos again raised questions about Manning’s ability to win the biggest games. He is 11-12 in the postseason, 1-2 in Super Bowls. After the game, he brushed off questions about his legacy. “Certainly to finish this way is very disappointing,” he said. He never looked comfortable against a defense some will begin comparing to the 1985 Bears and 2000 Ravens — other NFL champions who had runaway Super Bowl victories. Seattle forced four turnovers; Denver had 26 all season. The Seahawks looked comfortable and at ease, and not just their defense, which lost All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman to a high ankle sprain in the fourth quarter. He celebrated on crutches. “I hope we etched our names in the history books,” Sherman said.

Wilson, who has an NFL-record 28 wins in his first two pro seasons, including playoffs, had a 23-yard TD pass to Jermaine Kearse late in the third quarter to make it 36-0. Wilson also hit Doug Baldwin for a 10-yard score in the final period in what had become one of the most lopsided Super Bowls. For the fifth time in six meetings between the NFL’s No. 1 offense and defense, the D dominated. “It’s all about making history,” All-Pro safety Earl Thomas said. “This was a dominant performance from top to bottom.” Denver fell to 2-5 in Super Bowls, and by the end many of Manning’s passes resembled the “ducks” Sherman said the All-Pro quarterback sometimes threw. The victor y was particularly sweet for Carroll, who was fired in 1994 by the Jets, led the Patriots for three seasons and again was canned. After a short stint out of coaching, he took over at Southern California and won two national titles. — The Associated Press

“[Eligible Applicants include] Private for-profit and non-profit housing developers and public housing authorities capable of developing and managing large multi-family housing developments,” according to the website. Loans from the Fund for Rebuilding Multifamily Housing can only go to the nine most damaged counties and at least 20 percent of the units in the project must be affordable housing, according to the website. The construction firm Boraie Development LLC, which is responsible for the New Brunswick apartment complex, has been linked to Christie on numerous occasions, according to an article in New Brunswick Today. They are one of the largest political contributors in the city and one of the largest property owners, with 77 rental units under their name. Boriae has also collaborated with basketball star Shaquille O’Neal for the development of Newark housing and development, according to their website. New Brunswick Today said the firm has contributed funds to former Newark mayor and current Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., and may have provided free office space to Rep. Frank Pallone, D-N.J. According to the Rutgers report, Middlesex County was the fourth hardest-hit county in the state. Sayreville was the most damaged town in the county and ranked 13th overall. “In terms of vulnerability to low-income households, Middlesex County ranked [fifth] in the Household Hardship Index,” the report said. According to the NJHMFA website, the Fund for Restoration of Family Housing offers subsidies in the form of loans to owners capable of managing large multi-family housing developments, such as Boraie. Russell Marchetta, spokesperson for New Brunswick, said the town suffered damage after Hurricane Sandy from power losses and collapsed trees. But he said New Brunswick was luckily spared of a lot of flood damage. He declined to elaborate on the Rutgers report. “That was the number they came up with,” he said. Christie was also in the spotlight after an ex-aide claimed to have evidence that he was aware of the lane closures on the George Washington Bridge and knew his staff was responsible, according to an article in The New York Times. In a letter from his attorney, David Wildstein, the Port Authority official who oversaw the lane closures said he had unspecified evidence that Christie was aware of the reason for the closures. The Port Authority originally closed the bridge Sept. 9, 2013, causing traffic problems and mayhem in Fort Lee, N.J. According to the article, the scandal was revealed in early January, when a report found Christie’s aides had ordered the closures. In a press conference, Christie denied knowing the actions of his aides and promised to fire several, including Wildstein. According to the article, Christie released a statement continuing to deny Wildstein’s allegations. A previous version of this story appeared online on Feb. 1, 2014.

Research, a component of the AMSA conference. Ramachandran, the director at the Center for Brain and Cognition at University of California, San Diego, presented his most recent findings on neurology by focusing on three phenomena of the human body — phantom limb, xenomelia and synesthesia. He gave the lecture in tribute to the late Béla Julesz, a professor in the Department of Psychology at Rutgers and a visual neuroscientist known for developing the random-dot stereogram, a device to assist humans with perceiving depth, said Brian McLaughlin, a professor in the Department of Philosophy. Expounding upon Julesz’s work in visual neurology, Ramachandran related the elimination of the painful phantom limb to the use of mirror visual feedback, or what he calls the “mirror box.” The “mirror box” is a device rigged with two mirrors, one facing each way, to help patients with phantom limb pain trick the brain into feeling like the body still has a
functional attached limb after having it amputated, he said. With mirror visual feedback, patients with phantom limbs place their non-amputated limb on one side and the amputated limb into the other, he said. With the mirror, the patient moves both limbs symmetrically, allowing the brain to feed on the visual feedback and unclench the phantom limb. “Two-thirds of patients benefit from mirror therapy, with 99 percent of amputee patients suffering from phantom limb,” Ramachandran said. The “mirror box” is being tested as a form of relief for patients who experience paralysis after a stroke, in the same way it is being used by patients with phantom limbs, he said. “We have to learn to unlearn pain — the ‘mirror box’ is being adopted widely as a treatment form,” he said. The lecture also focused on xenomelia, a psychological disorder in which a patient desires to have a limb willfully amputated despite having no health abnormalities. He said the issue raises obvious

whales, but it only drove whaling.” The vast majority of whaling occurred after the establishment of a fossil fuel market in the 20th Century, York said. He credited this to the ability of humans to chase different types of whales after the development of fossil fuel-powered ships. Sail ships were not able to chase blue whales or thin whales, but the innovation spurred by the petroleum market allowed for steam ships, which offered new prey for whalers. “It’s the rise of fossil fuel that accelerates whaling and therefore supplies a demand for them,” he said. “So we have a source of whal-
ing after whale oil has essentially been rendered obsolete.” The availability of options introduces a problem — generating a form of energy unlocks a variety of other options for energy production, he said. This increases overall consumption that can be related to an analogy of teatime. If one type of cookie was offered during teatime, there would be minimal consumption, he said. If various types of cookies were offered, the person would be more likely to test every option. “The solution isn’t just to generate solar power or wind power,” York said. “You have to think of the social, political and economical contexts of technolo-

Because of this feature, students can determine the best way to purchase their textbooks, he said. Sherwood began his price-comparing website in Maryland in 2001. With a growing company and a desire to be closer to the technology industry, he moved to Newport Beach, Calif. last year. Three employees are based in California, with other offices of the company stretched across the nation in places such as New York and Florida. BIGWORDS.com also has street teams based in universities all over the country. Ashmore Bodiford, the BIGWORDS.com national street
team manager, said street teams are present in more than 250 universities, with Rutgers being one of them. “Street teams go on campus and hand out marketing materials letting students know about BIGWORDS,” she said. BIGWORDS.com chooses to form street teams at universities based on the university’s enrollment and campus size, he said, preferring to form teams at schools who have higher enrollment. “Rutgers is always in one of the top five campuses that use BIGWORDS.com, and in some semesters, it’s been the most popular,” Sherwood said. The team hands out beer pong balls, bags and flyers to adver-
ethical and medical issues and is still a point of contention in the field of neuropsychology. Synesthesia calls into play both genetics and neurology and poses a series of questions in relation to the nature-nurture debate. Synesthesia is a mingling of the senses, where one out of 50 humans attach a color to a number or a shape to a taste, he said. He said the description “chicken tastes pointy” is a classic example. Synesthesia has a Mendelian basis and is genetic, Ramachandran said, although it can also appear later in life. Scientists are trying to discover whether synesthesia is a genuine sensory phenomenon or a cognitive one and are also trying to discern its precise broader implications, he said. “By studying these strange conditions, we can gain novel insight into the issues neurologists and psychologists are interested in,” he said. Patrick McGee, a certified HIV/ AIDS regional trainer and HIV counselor and tester, shared his experience of being HIV positive for nearly 27 years and his various encounters with doctors over the years. McGee, an alumnus of West Chester University of Pennsylvania, said he was attacked and sexually assaulted by three men while returning home from a fraternity party in his second month of college.
“[The men] were tried and convicted — two got five to 10 years, and one of them got 50 years,” he said. McGee graduated from college in 1985, whereupon he said he received a letter from the Chester County Board of Health recommending that he be tested for the HIV virus when it was discovered that two of his three attackers were HIV positive. When initially diagnosed with HIV in 1995, his T-cell count was 33, he said. A healthy T-cell count is generally 500 to 1,500. As of Dec. 2013, his T-cell count increased to 832 with his treatment. Today, McGee said he takes 44 pills each day and regularly visits his doctor, a person who is both a friend and a caretaker for him. “I expect you to be there for your patients — you have to leave your prejudices and your opinions at home,” he said. “I want you to be happy, but I also want you to be compassionate and incorporate a little bit of humanity in your medicine.” Hossain knew the opportunity to cross paths with figures like Ramachandran, and McGee was incentive enough to work toward a career in medicine, she said. “For me, this was why I always wanted to be a part of AMSA and made me realize I want to be something in the healthcare field,” she said.
gies that result from their contributions to societies.” Rachael Shwom, assistant professor in the Department of Human Ecology, said the issue of climate change couldn’t be mitigated by a renewable energy generation alone. “We need to really account for this change of energy usage in policy decisions,” she said. York believes energy used to be heavily related to the structural circumstances. The United States set itself up to be distributed across miles of space, thus creating a dependency on petroleum. Early on, General Motors Company actively purchased rail lines and shut them down to expand and support freeway production, he said. Cities in Europe and on the East Coast of America have infrastructures that were built before the existence of cars, therefore have less need for petroleum, he said.
“We have expectations for jobs and lives that go long distances,” he said. “It is hard to oppose that dependency.” Matthew Purri, a School of Engineering first-year student, said he agreed with this sociological focus on energy production. He said when people are applying for jobs they have the mindset they might be commuting for at least an hour by car. York said forms of energy production should not be seen as competing. “If you want more energy, you must get both,” he said. He said the answer is not to push the use of alternative energy, but to limit the use of fossil fuel energy. “We use more energy than necessary,” he said. “We have to ask ourselves why we have societies. It has a lot to do with human history and the quality of life. We’re a product of our time.”

They also send out emails to professors letting them know about BIGWORDS.com deals so they can take that into consideration when assigning textbooks and advising students where to buy them. To further create a relationship with students, Bodiford said he began managing the website’s blog that consists of posts meant to be of interest to college students. “I’m doing a post about Valentine’s day. There’s one about dorm necessities and how to find cheap, cool stuff to decorate your room,” she said. “There’s even a post on how to plan a tailgating party.” BIGWORDS.com is active across many social networks such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. There is an app for the website that anyone can download for free. Students can use the website for free, and BIGWORDS.com
does not actually sell products. The site is meant to direct students to the books they need at the lowest prices. The website also finds coupons and other deals that these sites offer at any given time, Bodiford said. “It’s crazy how much students can save,” he said. “Students wait in these super long lines forever at bookstores. They feel like they’re getting ripped of f — they’re wasting gas and time shopping in bookstores and not online.” Kate Gore, a School of Arts and Sciences junior, said she agrees with Bodiford about the hassle of buying textbooks from University bookstores. “I do usually tend to get my books from one of the Rutgers bookstores although I have bought books online before,” she said. “In my opinion, those prices are just way too steep for some of us broke college kids, so websites like BIGWORDS are really useful.”

Researcher finds possible link between Alzheimer’s, food By Nikhilesh De Contributing Writer
There are few explanations for the causes of Alzheimer’s disease, but even fewer suggest it is a result of ever yday meals. A researcher from Robert Wood Johnson Medical School may have found a link between the memor y-eating disease and a chemical in food. Rutgers recently published a study that indicates a possible connection been the pesticide dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, or DDT, and Alzheimer’s, a neurological disease in which cognitive functions slowly become impaired. Jason Richardson, an associate professor at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, said their research indicates DDT may be responsible for causing plaques to form in brain cells through its harmful byproduct dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene, or DDE. DDT is a pesticide that was widely used until 1972, when it was banned in the U.S. for the dangers it posed to both humans and the environment, according to the Environmental Protection Agency’s website. Remnants of the pesticide can still be found in the environment today. Some countries, especially those affected by malaria, still
use DDT, Richardson said. It is also used illegally in other countries that may export products to the United States. The United States Geological Sur vey monitors soil and water samples to keep track of DDT levels, Richardson said. A person’s main source of exposure to DDT in the United States would likely come from consuming meat, fish or dair y. Fatty fish in particular would have the greatest levels of DDT. DDE is a product of DDT breaking down either as a result of exposure to heat or sunlight or through a reaction in the human body, he said. It can last for decades in both the environment and the human body. “We [were] not exposed yesterday — we’re looking at a cumulative lifetime of exposure,” he said. “[DDE] is something really persistent.” Richardson said researchers from the University and partners from Emor y University were looking for a link between pesticides and Parkinson’s disease when they noticed increased DDE levels in Alzheimer’s patients. “We measured the pesticides in blood samples but found a compound that wasn’t linked to Parkinson’s,” he said. “We noticed that DDE levels were
almost four times higher than normal in certain samples.” According to the Center for Disease Control’s website, more than five million people in the United States suffer from Alzheimer’s disease. Part of Alzheimer’s cause is the buildup of amyloid proteins in brain cells, Richardson said. DDE can become this protein, contributing to the formation of a plaque in the brain. People with Down syndrome or extra chromosomes have also shown signs of suffering from this plaque formation. Some pharmaceutical companies are tr ying to create antibodies that could clear out the amyloid plaque, he said. Recently, other companies have begun attempting to make chemicals that can prevent plaque buildup. To become more effective, companies would need to treat people at an earlier stage of the disease, he said. Most patients currently go to treatment too late to have any real effect on their symptoms. A person’s genes and lifestyle, including where they live and what they eat, would also be important factors in whether they have a chance to develop Alzheimer’s, he said. Richardson said future research would focus more heavily on these interactions. Previously, the brunt of Alzheimer’s research was focused solely on

COURTESY OF JASON RICHARDSON the genes that could cause it. There is ver y little data on environmental factors that can contribute to Alzheimer’s, he said. In the 1990s, aluminum was thought to be involved with Alzheimer’s. That has since been disproved. Other heavy metals may still be factors, including some found in cigarette smoke.
“One of the impor tant take-homes is that when you’re dealing with a complex disease, there’s not just one thing causing it,” he said. “There’s many factors, and most of these are going to be interactions between your genes and your environment [and] diet.”

Chabad House stands with Hillel against bigotry COMMENTARY RABBI YOSEF CARLEBACH
W
e are Chabad House at Rutgers University, and I am writing in reference to the controversial article written by Colleen Jolly and printed in your opinions section. While this article was not directly aimed at Chabad House, but rather its sister organization, the Rutgers Hillel, we feel the obligation to respond due to its underlying implications of bigotr y and anti-Semitism. As a sister organization that is still in the process of finalizing the touches on our own new building, Chabad House recognizes and supports Hillel and their endeavor to expand and build right here on the University grounds. We both welcome the influx of Jewish students that has grown ver y positively in the last decades. The presence of the large Jewish population on campus demands and needs both of our organizations to continue to grow. After all, we are both part of the reason why Rutgers has benefited from such a large population of Jewish students, which did not exist years prior.
We feel that Jolly and those that chose ing or working alongside the University to print this article do not congregate on any level. We invite all students of all among the vast majority of decent men religious persuasions to identify with and women here at the University.

I, as executive director and founding rabbi of Chabad House at Rutgers, and now traveling abroad in Israel, have been contacted by repor ters from the world-renowned Jerusalem Post, and other members of the media here in Israel, to respond to this controversy. We should all be aware that this is no longer contained within the confines of the Rutgers campus and that many concerned citizens in our great state, countr y and indeed world, may be watching the University and what transpires here. This has become an unfor tunate example of how fast and far anti-Semitism can spread, and thus we must work diligently to stop it at its ver y source. Chabad House, with its campus Rabbis Baruch Goodman and Shaya Shagalow, stand together with Hillel and we fully support their efforts both in the endeavor of their new building and in standing up against this attack. Rabbi Yosef Carlebach is the executive director and founder of the Chabad House Jewish Student Center at Rutgers University.
‘Bridgegate’ tarnishes Christie’s reputation forever COMMENTARY SABRI RAFI
A
short and rapid two months ago, the majestic purple mountains of western America seemed to be a treasure trove waiting to be exploited for our governor. With brigades on top of brigades of loyal Republican supporters raised up in arms all over the countr y, the electoral college of our great countr y seemed to only be a pawn in the grand scheme of Gov. Chris Christie’s ambitions. In those two months, I wrote an article stating the asserted dominance held in the grasps of the Republican governors palms over the fate over not only the state of New Jersey but also potentially the presidential race of 2016 with the weakening strength of the Democratic Party in recent months. However, the world of politics is fickle and unrelenting as the political throne of America shifts back and forth between parties without consent. With the new and career-damaging news of the Bridgegate scandal, the land of promise and opportunities now only seems to be a distant memor y in Christie’s America. To simply ignore this crucial fact and to delegate blame to other cabinet members however, would be a critical mistake for our boisterous governor, as the

nonetheless it is the part of the essential democratic process that our countr y was built on. Overbearing political maneuvers and misuse of government positions is not. It is not something the residents of New Jersey, and the people of the United States, will stand for, or should stand. While we all look for the perfect leader to carr y our state and nation through the predicaments of the 21st centur y, the only real and true “change you can believe in” is yourself. The corruption of the modern day era has now become predictable and overdrawn, and always now seems to be a battle between the lesser of two evils. However, this does mean we as a people shouldn’t despair and lose hope but rather exert cautious optimism and be war y of the latest eye candy of a candidate that wanders past. Christie’s frontrunner spotlight has nonetheless dimmed, leaving a gap in the market for the newest and hottest candidate regardless of party. While this new candidate may have Cinderella promises, their bite must be as strong as the bark for any real change to occur. Based on the frontrunner status of the major current contenders, let’s all make a silent prayer for our founders as they roll around in their respective graves.

skid Moore finally found comfort zone after transfer from Pittsburgh, Jordan says continued from back 86-61 Rutgers lead with 4:38 to go. Rutgers fed off Moore’s aggression, bringing the RAC crowd to its feet on several occasions. Junior guard Myles Mack fed junior for ward Kadeem Jack an alley-oop. Jack hung off the rim with both hands as Rutgers took an 82-59 lead with 5:35 left. Mack benefitted Moore, as Mack finessed his way to 25 points. Moore got to play small for ward instead of shooting guard, where Mack often played. The starting lineup shifted because senior for ward Wally Judge missed his second straight game with a neck condition. “He just has a comfort zone,” said head coach Eddie Jordan. “It’s a new team and probably I just saw him being comfortable out there, and it takes time for a guy playing one year with a new team with new players to have a comfort level. I think with [junior] Jerome [Seagears] and Myles at guard, it gave him sort of freedom to take his forward position and run with it.” Mack broke a slump in which he averages 11 points and shot 13for-39 in total during Rutgers’ fourgame losing streak. Par t of Mack’s dif ficulties stemmed from a minor knee injur y, which he said af fects him a little. It was the reason he did not star t Wednesday against Temple. But Mack mostly displayed good shot selection, even when he 3-pointers were not consistently falling. Mack shot 1-for-4 from 3-point land in the first half, but still recorded 15 points.
“I shoot the ball the same way every time,” Mack said. “Some days, it just doesn’t fall. The last two games, it wasn’t falling. But my confidence level was still high, and in this game I made some shots.” Houston’s guards barely adjusted their approach. The Cougars shot 3-pointers 1-for-10 in the first half and 2-for-7 in the second. Rutgers’ perimeter defense struggles against guards who penetrate, but Houston’s backcourt barely tried it. As a result, Rutgers took a dominant 46-31 halftime lead and led about that much most of the second half. “We did some pressing,” Jordan said. “That was good for us and I told my team, ‘this team just flew in from Houston and I know what flying in can do for you and in the second half, let’s make them feel those jetlag legs.’” The Knights also held a 9-2 advantage in the turnover battle in the first half, as their defense was set up for attempting to cause turnovers. That began a dominant outing, as Rutgers looked nothing like the team Houston dominated two weeks before. Now Rutgers sits seventh in the conference, looking to carr y its momentum from the highest team score in an AAC game this year. “I know that this is going to be an important run for us,” Moore said. “This is what will determine whether we make the tournament going into the AAC Tournament.” For updates on the Rutgers men’s basketball team, follow Josh Bakan on Twitter @JoshBakan.

CHAMPS Ruth wins long jump, leads Knights to first-place finish in 4x400 relay continued from back Ruth then defended her long jump title with a distance of 5.81 meters before anchoring the first-place finish in a 4x400 relay team of fellow seniors Corr yn Hurrington and Ekene Ugboaja and freshman Nicole Nicholas by logging a 3:45.09 time at the finish line. Ruth’s two individual results in the 200m dash and long jump, along with the 4x400 relay team’s first place time, were all ECAC qualifiers. Ugboaja added to the list of first-place finishes, finishing with 55.99 seconds in the 400m. Senior Kristen Bradley recorded the fourth-best pentathlon finish in school histor y by compiling 3,369 points for the first-place finish in the event. She also placed third in the high jump with a height of 1.60 meters. “To give up three events and still win by such a wide margin was a very impressive display of high-quality performances,” Robinson said in a statement. Twelve additional top-three finishes separated the Knights from
the pack, catapulting them to the conference title. Senior Tylia Gillon and Ruth finished back-to-back in second and third place in the 60-meter-dash with respective times of 7.60 and 7.65 seconds — both were ECAC qualifiers. In long-distance races, junior Allison Payenski clocked in a 5:07.62 time for second place in the mile, while sophomore Paige Senatore recorded a personal record of 17:48.15 in the 5,000m, also a secondplace finish. The culmination of performances throughout the roster provided the only title that matters at the end of the day: a conference championship. “Winning a conference title requires a total team effort and commitment,” Robinson said in a statement. “The coaching staff is ver y proud of the ladies and we look for ward to their continued progress throughout the season.” For updates on the Rutgers women’s track and field team, follow @TargumSpor ts on Twitter.

Even when junior forward Kadeem Jack had three or four personal fouls, he performed with the tenacity of a player with no fouls in the Rutgers men’s basketball team’s 93-70 victory Saturday against Houston. “I definitely did have to [play more carefully], but I don’t think it affected my aggressiveness at all,” Jack said postgame. Jack blocked three shots in the game’s first five minutes but also collected two personal fouls in six minutes. Senior Wally Judge missed his second straight game with a neck condition, putting Jack at center. When Jack did not play, the Scarlet Knights’ only available player taller than 6-foot-7 was sophomore forward Greg Lewis. Lewis, who redshirted with knee surger y last year, still needs some development. The 6-foot-9, 260-pounder is a big defensive body and even recorded a block in 19 minutes, but he also went scoreless. But Rutgers had just enough depth to consistently maintain a double-digit lead against Houston at the Louis Brown Athletic Center. “Greg [Lewis] did a tremendous job at center,” said head coach Eddie Jordan. “He was spent out there. He’s got two more years to play, so he’s still a young pup.” Jack received his third personal with 13:16 left in the second half. His fourth foul came a minute later on a charging call. The Queens native’s foul trouble could have jeopardized Rutgers if it did not have a hefty lead. But Jack was also incredibly productive in the second half.

Jack posted 14 of his 16 points and five of his six rebounds in the final period. He shot field goals 5-for-7 overall. And the 5,606 in attendance got loud when he hung off the rim after a two-handed dunk with 5:35 left in the game. The alley-oop from junior guard Myles Mack gave Rutgers a dominating 82-59 lead. “The crowd definitely gave us boosts of energy when we needed it,” Jack said.
For
the
first
time
since arguably the seasons lowest point — Rutgers’ loss Nov. 26 to Fairleigh Dickinson — Mack and junior guard Jerome Seagears both started. Seagears began the first eight games of the season before Jordan experimented more with the starting lineup. In the 10 games he did not start, he was essentially a sixth man. But Mack felt comfortable extensively playing with Seagears. “It helped us a lot,” Mack said. “I can handle, he can handle. When I get winded, he can han-
dle it. When he gets winded, I can handle it. It just keeps us with a lot of energy.” When Mack plays with Seagears, Mack can focus less on playing point guard and more on scoring. He scored 25 against Houston. The starting lineup change, which resulted from Judge’s injury, also pushes senior J.J. Moore from shooting guard to small forward — his more natural position. Moore scored a career-high 27.

Craig
Brown and junior wing Malick Kone were productive off the bench. Brown scored 6 off 2-for-5 field goal shooting in 13 minutes. Kone scored 5 points in 16 minutes. He shot only 1-for-6 from the field, but was aggressive enough to get free throws and made three. “I think Craig [Brown] was aggressive,” Jordan said. “It’s not pretty, but he was aggressive going to the basket. Malick [Kone] did a good job playing guard and for ward.”
MEN’S TRACK SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT STATE WINS METROS
RU takes second place at Armory By Lou Petrella Staff Writer
The Rutgers men’s track and field team concluded its fourth indoor meet in four weeks Friday as it traveled to the Bronx for the Metropolitan Championships. The Scarlet Knights took second place at the event for the second consecutive season, as they fell 10 points shy of Southern Connecticut State’s 133.5 points. Manhattan, Fordham and St. Peter’s rounded out the top five in that order. Rutgers par ticipated without many key athletes because of injur y and illness. But junior sprinter D’Andre Jordan highlighted the Knights once again. Jordan repeated as the 400m champion at the event with 48.39 seconds, also capturing the title in the 200m with 22.08 seconds. The Knights captured a third title as seniors Steve Burkholder and Cur tis Richburg, sophomore Calvin Knox and junior Chris DeFabio won the 4x800 meter relay with 7:51.84.
In field events, several members finished in the top three. Freshmen Nicholas Eckett and Sean McEvoy took home second and third, respectively, in the pole vault, with both players clearing the 4.65-meter height. McEvoy is obviously new to the collegiate track scene, but he recognizes that results are what matter at the end of the day. “At first [adapting to meets] is a lot different, especially traveling like we did last weekend to Boston,” McEvoy said. “It’s tiring, but you still have to compete well whether you are tired.” Sophomore jumper Ryan North was also successful at the Metropolitan Championships, placing third in the high jump with a clearance of 1.99 meters. Not having a full team makes competing more dif ficult, but Nor th is also not willing to use that as an excuse for poor results. “We as a team did not have a lot of guys competing due to a few aches and pains,” North said. “But overall, we still have to continue getting mentally and
physically stronger while making advancements ever y day in order to run away with the AAC team title, like we know we can.” Junior decathlete Mike Fritz did not compete in this weekend’s meet. Fritz has not competed in the last few meets because of injury. “It’s terrible,” Fritz said. “I want to be out there with my team, especially since I’m one of the few upperclassmen on the squad and I feel I need to lead them through their first few meets.” The Knights ended a treacherous first month of 2014, competing in four meets in 20 days. North believes the team is already in good shape, so it becomes a battle of will rather than physical endurance. “[Consecutive meets are] a lot more mentally tiring than physically,” Nor th said. “Having to stay in top shape and remain injur y free is what it comes down to right now.” For updates on the Rutgers men’s track and field team, follow @TargumSports on Twitter.
Knights rout Tigers in rematch at RAC By Greg Johnson Associate Sports Editor
Betnijah Laney often stresses in postgame interviews how quickly the Rutgers women’s basketball team moves on from one game and looks forward to the next. Yet the junior wing never forgot how the Scarlet Knights felt Jan. 14 when Memphis erased Rutgers’ 11-point second-half lead en route to a 74-73 overtime upset win in Tennessee. After Rutgers’ 66-48 rout in a rematch Saturday at the Louis Brown Athletic Center, Laney admitted there was a sense of avengement. “We were definitely looking to redeem ourselves,” she said. “We lost the last time we played them by 1 point, and we really felt as though we shouldn’t have because we didn’t follow our game plan when we were there, so that was just a major point for us.” The Knights (16-5, 7-3) received an early wake-up call. Memphis (11-11, 4-6) knocked down two 3-pointers to start the game, racing to a 10-0 lead in less than three minutes. Then Rutgers picked up its pace offensively, spreading the ball around the perimeter and aggressively attacking the basket. Three Knights finished with at least five assists, including Laney, who tallied 11 points and 10 rebounds for her 11th double-double of the season. “We were not anywhere near as stagnant as we were when we found ourselves in the situation with Louisville,” said head coach C. Vivian Stringer. “They did a great job of seeing each other, and that’s going to be crucial — the turnovers, the rebounds and sharing the ball.” After holding a 10-point halftime advantage, Rutgers went on a 15-4 run a few minutes into the second period to pull away. Memphis never adjusted to the Knights’ tenacious 2-3 zone defense, which Stringer employed from the outset in light of recent foul trouble issues playing man-to-man. Center Asianna Fuqua-Bey and forward Pa’Sonna Hope, who each knotted double-doubles Jan. 14, were held to 3-for-9 shooting. The Tigers matched a season-low 48 points and committed 21 turnovers — 12 more than their
first meeting with Rutgers, which the Knights cashed into 25 points. Sophomore forward Rachel Hollivay benefitted the most down the stretch, leading Rutgers with 12 points and seven rebounds in the second half. She finished with a team-high 16 points, her most since Nov. 22 against Howard. An early revelation, the 6-foot4 Hollivay’s production has been sporadic this season. Stringer correlated it to Hollivay’s inconsistent wearing of contact lenses. “No matter what, she must wear the contacts,” Stringer said. “Sometimes she does, sometimes she doesn’t, so it couldn’t get any worse. But today it was Betnijah who was saying, ‘Rachel wore the contacts and Rachel is catching the ball.’ … I can tell you that from now on, she’s not even practicing if she doesn’t have those contacts in.” Rutgers again had steady contributions across the board, producing double-digit points off the bench for the third straight game. Sophomore guard Briyona Canty looked as explosive as she has all season since redshirting nearly all of last year following knee surgery. She corralled hustle rebounds at critical points in the first half and opened up Rutgers’ offensive game with assertive dribble penetration. “I feel, I guess you could say, ‘free’ now,” Canty said. “Last year I was in pain, a lot of pain, playing. But this is not as much pain and I’m pushing through it. So it’s just a free feeling that you get and you’re happy on the court.” All the Knights smiled as they dominated even with sophomore wing Kahleah Copper held to a season-low 2 points while battling a mild leg injury. Rutgers also did not attempt a single 3-pointer. After what had transpired Jan. 14 in Tennessee, the Knights knew they had to finish strong. “It was good for us to see [Memphis’ 10-0 run] in the beginning, rather than the end,” Laney said. “And to know that we are able to pick up intensity, and able to fight back and overcome our adversities. That’s what we did.” For updates on the Rutgers women’s basketball team, follow Greg Johnson on Twitter @GregJohnsonRU. For general Rutgers spor ts updates, follow @TargumSpor ts.

FOOTBALL FRIEDGEN BECOMES OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR AFTER 10 YEARS AT MARYLAND
Flood names new coordinators, assistant By Greg Johnson Associate Sports Editor
With National Signing Day on Wednesday, Rutgers head football coach Kyle Flood announced Friday the filling of three coaching vacancies. Ralph Friedgen, most recently Maryland’s head coach from 2001 to 2010, will become the Scarlet Knights’ fifth offensive coordinator in five seasons after former coach Ron Prince left the program Jan. 18 to become an assistant head coach for the Detroit Lions. The 66-year-old Friedgen guided Maryland to seven bowl games and previously coached both collegiate and professional offenses for
nearly three decades. He won a Super Bowl ring with the San Diego Chargers in 1994. He was also the national coach of the year in 2001 when he guided the Terrapins to an ACC title. “We could not have found a better coach or person to lead our offense than Ralph,” Flood said in a statement. “His track record of success both in college and the NFL is second to none on the offensive side of the ball. He will be a tremendous addition to our Rutgers football family.” After a nearly two-month long search for a new defensive coordinator, Flood settled on promoting interim coach Joe Rossi. Rossi, previously Rutgers’ special teams coach for two seasons, coordinated the de-
fense in the Dec. 28 New Pinstripe Bowl after Dave Cohen’s Dec. 8 firing. The Knights allowed the most passing yards in school history this past season. Flood said Jan. 6 in his season-ending teleconference there were no limitations on job candidates with Rutgers entering the Big Ten. The Star-Ledger reported Jan. 15 that Robb Smith, Rutgers’ defensive coordinator in 2012, met with Flood and had the job back if he wanted it. Nothing came to fruition. “All along we were fortunate to know we had an excellent option at defensive coordinator already in our program in Joe Rossi,” Flood said in a statement. “Joe has shown he is a tremendous teacher of the game and
has been able to maximize the talent of our players. I am excited to promote one of the nation’s most promising defensive coaches.” Bob Fraser will serve as Rossi’s replacement as special teams coordinator, as well as linebackers coach. He has experience as Rutgers’ defensive coordinator in 2011 and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ assistant defensive coordinator this past season. “Bob is one of the most knowledgeable coaching minds I have been around,” Flood said. “His expertise in our Rutgers defense will be an excellent resource for our staff. We have prided ourselves in our special teams play and I look for that to continue under Bob.”

Moore steps up as Rutgers breaks skid By Josh Bakan Sports Editor
When Houston arrived Saturday to the Louis Brown Athletic Center, Rutgers men’s basketball senior wing J.J. Moore came with a vengeance. “I felt like it was a revenge thing. We went to their place and they spanked us,” Moore said postgame. “I just wanted to come out there with a lot of energy and boost my team up as much as I could.” NCAA BASKETBALL SCORES

Moore scored a career-high 27 points in the Scarlet Knights’ 93-70 victory, leading Rutgers (9-13, 3-6) to the most a team has scored in an AAC game. The Pittsburgh, Pa., transfer played unlike Rutgers ever saw him. He threw away his 5-point scoring identity from the Knights’ 77-55 loss Jan. 19 at Houston (11-11, 3-6). That began Rutgers’ fourgame losing streak that Saturday it snapped. Moore forcefully dunked at least four times in the victory. He drove to the basket
instead of camping by the 3-point line, executing a style of play that demanded he get the ball. “My teammates told me to go out there and just attack the rim,” Moore said. “They wanted to see something flashy, and that’s what I gave them.” Moore approached his previous career high of 26 when he hurled a two-handed dunk and got fouled.

EXTRA POINT
CHARLY SANTAGADO,
freshman, began the Rutgers gymnastics team’s meet Saturday with a team-best uneven bars score of 9.775. Rutgers fell to Texas Woman’s University,193.950-193.425.
Leading up to the conference championships, head coach James Robinson stressed the importance of the first four meets and the role they played developing the Rutgers women’s track and field team before it attempts to capture a conference championship. After taking fourth place in last year’s events during the indoor season, the Scarlet Knights took first place out of 15 teams at the Metropolitan Championships on Friday at the NYC Armory in the Bronx. The Knights won titles in the 200m and 400m dashes, the 4x400 relay, long jump and pentathlon to compile a score of 163 points. It was a blowout for their first Metropolitan Championship title since 2010. The closest team to Rutgers was St. John’s in second place with 104 points. “We’re very proud of the way the team performed over the last two days of the competition,” Robinson said in a statement of the twoday championship, something Rutgers never previously dealt with all winter. Despite not having athletes in the shot put, weight throw or 3,000m, Rutgers was able to cruise to the top of the podium with dominant finishes. Of the five titles claimed by Rutgers, senior Asha Ruth continued her historic season by contributing three first-place finishes. The versatile, two-time AAC Women’s Track Athlete of the Week recorded a time of 24.20 seconds in the 200m dash. That was good enough for first place and the third-best time in school history. See
