In an audit released last week thatevaluated the University’s financialmanagement practices and contract-ing, the New Jersey Office of theState Comptroller (OSC) found theUniversity continuously chose thesame vendors during its purchasingprocess, allowing a risk of paying foroverpriced services.

Under a current state law, theUniversity’s bidding requirementsdif fer from the ones other statedepar tments, agencies and col-leges must follow, according tothe audit.

“Rutgers’ procurement of goodsand services generally fails to fol-low its own stated policies concern-ing use of a competitive processand unfairly favors incumbent ven-dors with its ‘single source’ pro-curement methodology,” accordingto the audit.

Some evidence cited that for 16years the University granted a con-tract to the same vendor for parkingservices for its basketball and foot-ball games on the basis that such aunique service could not undergo acompetitive bidding process, accord-ing to the audit.

The audit also claims theUniversity’s internal policies

restrict competition in the purchas-ing process regarding capital plan-ning projects by prequalifying con-tractors separate from the NewJersey process.

The University permits the cre-ation of a vendor and supplier data-base, according to the audit. Thenonly the chosen and pre-approvedfirms are invited for bids, proposalsand negotiations for quotes.

“These policies and practicesrun counter to the ‘basic tenet ofpublic procurement’ that unrestrict-ed competition ‘reduces the oppor-tunity for favoritism and inspires

Obama lays out plans to improve economyBY MARY DIDUCH

MANAGING EDITOR

President Barack Obama delivered his secondState of the Union address last night in the House of Representatives, whose members broke traditional partisan seating in honor of Rep. GabrielleGiffords, D-Ariz.

Obama opened his speech by addressing theTucson shooting tragedy that occurred two weeks ago,which killed six and injured 13, including Giffords. Inan effort to display unity during tragedy, Republicanssat next to Democrats, and all rose or remained seatedat most times throughout the speech — regardless ofparty affiliation.

The President said he hopes this unity will carry overto help the United States become more competitiveagainst rising world powers.

“I believe we can. I believe we must,” he said.Obama then relayed the status of the national economy

— an improving stock market, an increase in jobs and agrowth in corporate profits.

But despite the gains in the corporate world, Obamaadmitted the majority of the nation is still suffering.

Obama said the tax cuts he passed in December — thosecreated by former President George W. Bush and that Obamaformerly promised to repeal — have increased paychecks and

MPAA urges actionagainst campus piracy

The Motion Picture Associationof America published an open letterin December discussing the con-tents of the Higher EducationOpportunity Act of 2008, whichrequire universities’ participationin preventing illegal downloading.

The act requires schools toimplement a plan to stop theunauthorized distribution ofcopyrighted material by users ofthe institution’s network, MPAAchief content protection officerDaniel Mandil said in the letter.

The letter also details theMPAA’s recommendations forhow schools should comply withthe law and includes a list of “rolemodel” institutions.

Although the University didnot receive this letter and was not

on the list of role model institu-tions, it has developed a plan tocomply with the act, said DonSmith, vice president ofInformation Technology.

“[Our plan] includes keepingour network’s users informed ofthe regulations and suggestinglegal alternatives,” said Smith,Chief Information Officer.

All students must adhere tothe Acceptable Use Policy forComputing and InformationTechnology Resources, whichreviews copyright laws, said MikeGergel, director of InformationProtection and Security.

The University’s Office ofStudent Affairs sends an officialmemo to students about legal dis-closures including peer-to-peerand illegal file sharing, he said.Students listen to a lecture titled, “Chasing Miracles: The Crowley Family’s Journey of

Father develops cure for fatal disease through businessBY PRATHUSHA MADURI

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

As CEO of the biopharmaceu-tical company AmicusTherapeutics and a graduate ofHarvard Business School, JohnCrowley has accrued a numberof accomplishments in his life-time, but he considers his role asa father to his three children themost important.

Two of Crowley’s childrenwere diagnosed with Pompe dis-ease, a fatal genetic disorder thatdoes not allow the body to breakdown glycogen, which Crowleysaid causes an inability to utilizemuscles. At the time his childrenwere diagnosed, there were fewtreatment options for the disorder.

For many parents, such adiagnosis would be a source ofdespair, but in his children’s ill-ness Crowley found inspirationfor change.

“As much as I learned frombusiness, [my wife] Aileen and Ilearned more about life, learningand love from our kids,” he said.

Crowley came to theComputing Research andEducation Building on Busch cam-pus Monday evening as a guest ofthe “Masters of Business andScience” lecture series, which aimsto educate students about real-world connections between busi-ness and science, said DeborahSilver, director of the ProfessionalScience Master’s Program.

“The new Masters ofBusiness and Science is a pro-fessional science master’s pro-gram,” she said. “Students taketheir courses in a particularapplied science concentration.”

John Crowley, CEO of biopharmaceutical company Amicus, spoke at the “Masters of Business and Science”lecture series Monday night at the Computing Research and Education Building on Busch campus.

JENNIFER KONG / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Crowley, who was a keymember of companies such asOrexigen Therapeutics andGenzyme Therapeutics, quit astable job to search for the dis-order’s cure and star ted his own biotechnology company, Novazyme, whichwas later acquired by Genzyme Therapeutics.

With resources fromNovazyme, Genzyme developedan enzyme therapy in 2003, and

Crowley’s children — who arenow doing well — were amongthe first to participate in theclinical trials, which of feredthem a second chance at livinghealthy lives.

During his lecture, Crowleyspoke about his life journey and thelessons he learned as an entrepre-neur, scientist and father of two chil-dren suffering from a fatal disease.

Young entrepreneurs, particu-larly those entering the

biotechnology fields, must takerisks, have hope and stay humble,as even with success and wealth,happiness is unlikely if one’s solegoal in life is to make money,Crowley said.

Sarath Velagaleti, a senior atthe School of Engineering,found encouragement inCrowley’s story.

“It was inspiring to see how he stood up alone and faced circumstances even

when they seemed hopeless,”Velagaleti said.

Valerie Raziano, a School ofEnvironmental and BiologicalSciences first-year student,agreed with Crowley’s views onbusiness sensibilities and fami-ly priorities.

“You need to be passionateabout what you’re doing andalways keep in mind that yourgoals aren’t always driven byextrinsic motive,” she said.“You need to be focused onyour family and friendsbecause those things are soprecious and you need to valuethose things.”

Among other accolades,Crowley was the subject of a2006 Wall Street Journal front-page article by Geeta Anand, aswell as a book by the sameauthor entitled, “The Cure: Howa Father Raised $100 Millionand Bucked the MedicalEstablishment- in a Quest toSave his Children.”

But Anand was not the onlyone who picked up on Crowley’slife story. Actors Harrison Fordand Brendan Fraser star in therecently released “ExtraordinaryMeasures,” a major motion pic-ture based on the book. After thelecture, students had the oppor-tunity to watch the film.

“The movie was so inspiringand made me realize that any-thing is possible,” said DanielleClancy, a School ofEnvironmental and BiologicalSciences junior. “Even thoughMr. Crowley didn’t have anyexperience in science, he madesomething incredible happen forhis family.”

The Recording IndustryAssociation of America and theMPAA contact the Universityabout individuals they find ontheir network downloading copy-righted materials, Smith said.

“We’re reactive, so we don’tlook into the contact on the net-work,” he said. “When wereceive a complaint that’s whenwe forward a take down notice toa file sharer. The industries seekthem out wherever peer-to-peeris available.”

Peer-to-peer programs likeDC++ and Shakespeer are popu-lar at the University because theyallows users to access any mate-rials that other users on campuschoose to share. Much of thecontent shared on these pro-grams is under copyright.

Sukanya Dutta, a regular userof DC++, does not feel threat-

ened by theUniversity’s poli-cies on sharingc o p y r i g h t e dmaterials.

“DC++ is greatbecause I candownload musicand movies fromother students oncampus,” saidDutta, a School ofArts and Sciencessophomore.

Smith saidthere are legiti-

mate uses for peer-to-peer filesharing programs, which is whythey exist on campus.

“While everyone is aware thatpeer-to-peer file sharing is oftenabused, it’s often used for legitimatefile sharing that we don’t want todiscourage,” he said. “Copyrightand peer-to-peer are not synony-mous. Students should use [peer-to-peer] and use it correctly.”

Smith wants students to uselegal alternatives like Huluand YouTube to obtain copy-righted material.

“I’d advise students to findlegal alternatives to get materi-als they want,” he said. “Don’tparticipate in pirated networksbecause it’s a bad thing to doand a bad habit to get into. Werecognize our advice isn’t alwaystaken seriously.”

“We also send outbrochures and postcards peri-odically and put posters up topromote awareness,” Smithsaid. “You can lead a horse towater, but you can’t makethem drink. We do our best toinform students that we dis-courage these behaviors, but ifthey ignore it, there is notmuch we can do.”

As part of the act, schools arerequired to combat the problemwith a technology-based deterrent,Gergel said. The University’s deter-rent is a form of traffic shaping thatensures the same speed of deliveryfor Internet access for all studentson the network.

The trafficshaping limits themaximum down-load and uploadspeeds available tothe user, he said.

Because of student and faculty complaints,the Office ofI n f o r m a t i o nT e c h n o l o g yremoved the band-width restriction thatpreviously suspend-ed network users’ Internet accessfor exceeding the limit, Gergel said.

“Professors had legitimateuses for the network, download-ing rich media content for class-es that had tremendous band-widths,” he said. “More stu-dents began exceeding thebandwidth, and their suspendedaccess prevented them fromviewing e-mails and loggingonto Sakai.”

Although access is no longersuspended, the user’s downloadrate will slow down, Smith said.

“We didn’t want to make thesystem go dark on a student any-more because it is such anessential resource,” he said.“Instead of taking your driver’slicense away so you can’t driveyour car, we’re posting speedlimit signs along the road.”

Device offers greener cleaningBY ELIZABETH ZWIRZ

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Environmental Services andGrounds took a step toward mak-ing the University both clean andgreen by purchasing Ionators,battery-packed spray bottles thattransform the molecular structureof tap water to make it a powerful,chemical-free cleaning agent.

The completely recyclableIonator, which has a lifespan oftwo to three years, basically actsas a dirt magnet, said HowardNifoussi, director of outsidesales at Bioshine, based inSpotswood, N.J.

“There is no better way to bringabout safety, health and cleanli-ness,” said Nifoussi, who sold theUniversity the new devices.

The Ionator is specificallydesigned to clean large equipmentin University facilities, like fitnessand student centers, he said.

Dianne Gravatt, director ofEnvironmental Services andGrounds at the University, wasfirst skeptical about purchasingthe device but changed her viewof the product when theEnvironmental ProtectionAgency reported the productkilled 99.9 percent of bacteria.

“It cleans and sanitizes,”Gravatt said. “It is just water so it ishealthy and creates no air qualityconcerns when in use, no odorsand no chance of skin or respirato-ry damage as with chemical use.”

The Ionators will reduce theUniversity’s spending on chemi-cals by 40 to 50 percent, she said.

The device is unique in thatits only active ingredient iswater, Nifoussi said. The waterfirst receives a small electricalcharge before it passes throughan ion exchange membrane.

This produces a group of pos-itively and negatively chargednanobubbles, he said. Before thewater is released, it passesthrough an electrical field, whichbrings it to the surface.

Once sprayed, the ionized waterbreaks apart any dirt or bacteria ithits and lifts it from the surface.

The Ionator will save the University about 40 to 50 percent on clean-ing chemicals. The device is designed to be environmentally friendly.

MIKE GERGELInformation Protection and Security Director

Nifoussi said because the soleingredient is water, it is a lot saferthan chemical-based products.

“This is the safest way to killbacteria, [you can] use it aroundkids or people who have asth-ma,” he said. “There’s no toxici-ty and it is totally sustainablebecause your source to replen-ish this product comes directlyfrom your sink.”

Nifoussi said he believes theproduct has the potential tochange the world.

“I’ve been looking for aproduct like this my wholelife,” he said. “When this prod-uct came out about two yearsago I took every advantage Ihad for the opportunity to rep-resent this company.”

Emmy award-winning scien-tist, author and inventor BillNye “The Science Guy” wasalso excited about this productand was its last investor,Nifoussi said.

Nye loved it so much, hemade a nine-minute instructionalvideo on the Ionator, which iscurrently on Bioshine’s website,he said.

The only substance theIonator cannot clean is oil fromautomobiles, but it can clean

mostly everything else withoutleaving residue, Nifoussi said.

Aside from the University,Nifoussi also sold the Ionator topublic school districts in NewJersey, whose smaller custodialstaffs are trying to cut down onthe use of toxic chemicals.

Gravatt said theEnvironmental Services andGrounds department is satisfiedwith the Ionators and plans to usethem in the next fiscal year in allthe buildings it maintains.

Dave DeHart, director ofRecreation Facilities who over-sees operations at the WerblinFitness Center on Busch campus,said the Ionators have been work-ing fantastically. They clean andsanitize the entire facility.

“Not only do they clean well,but they get [rid of] 99.9 percent ofgerms including MRSA and Staph,which is extremely important at fit-ness centers,” DeHart said.

Gravatt predicts theUniversity’s environment willimprove after the Ionator’s con-tinued use.

“We will have better air, withno negative impact to service,”Gravatt said. “[We] will bemore environmentally and fis-cally responsible.”

public confidence that contractsare awarded equitably and eco-nomically,’” according to the audit.

Other than capital planningprojects, the OSC founddelayed implementation of a1999 contract meant to installnew computer software for theRutgers IntegratedAdministrative System (RIAS),a campus-wide administrativesystem, according to the audit.

A $23.2 million increase tothe project raised costs to $35.7million, but the RIAS is still notcomplete, according to theaudit. Contract managementpractices contributed to the riseas well as its time extension,and four purchased applica-tions are still not installed.

“Neither available docu-ments nor Rutgers of ficials weinterviewed were able to pro-vide adequate justification forthe University continuing tomake additional payments to avendor for work it committedto complete a decade ago,”according to the audit.

The audit calls for moreappropriate control over thecash-management system anddisbursement process, citingthat the University is misusingthe “quick order” process bypurchasing prohibited itemsand services.

When the University transi-tioned from a private to a pub-lic institution, its charter didnot mention its compliance tocompetitive bidding processes,said Pete McAleer, OSC direc-tor of Communications.

“At one point the attorneygeneral tried to enforce thatand Rutgers went to court,”said McAleer. “The court sidedwith Rutgers, saying there is

nothing under the law that per-mits them to have to use com-petitive bidding.”

Yet the OSC is asking theUniversity to consider changingits current internal policies,McAleer said. As of 2010, it isthe only public university thatdoes not go out to bid, and theOSC is also asking the legisla-ture to change the policy.

“We make 18 recommenda-tions to improve Rutgers’ procure-ment and related contractingprocesses, to foster competition inthe University’s selection of ven-dors and to strengthen controlsover the financial managementareas we reviewed,” according to the audit.

McAleer said the results ofthe audit mean the Universityneeds to strengthen their con-tracting procedures and prac-tices, and they are alreadyworking to implement 16 of the18 recommendations.

“Specifically, Rutgers talkedabout a parking management

contract that had not been opento competition for 16 years.[They] now agreed to advertiseand take bids for that contractthe next time it goes up forrenewal,” he said.

The OSC rec-ommended thatthe New JerseyState Legislatureand the governorrequire theUniversity toadhere to the fivebidding require-ments imposedon other statecolleges and uni-versities, accord-ing to the audit.

In response tothe finding, theUniversity ensured its commitmentto its fiscal responsibilities andmanagement procedures, and alsoaccepted the OSC’s recommenda-tions from its 22-month review.

“The University’s policiesand procedures are designed to

ensure that procurement activi-ties are conducted in ways thatpromote competition, equityand fairness while also makingsure that Rutgers receives the

highest qualityproducts andser vices at thebest possibleprice,” accordingto a Universitypress release.

The OSC’s auditdid not find illegalactivity during theUniversity’s proce-dures, McAleersaid.

“We are alsoreviewing our poli-cies to make surethat we continue to

purchase the best goods and serv-ices at the most competitive prices,”according to the University’srelease. “In those instances whereour policies may seem unclear, wewill modify the language as appropriate.”

A series of news articles in thesummer of 2008 raised questionsregarding the fiscal managementand contracting practices in the University’s athletic department,McAleer said.

During the 2009 fiscal year,the University’s operatingexpenses were $1.68 billion andits operating revenues were$1.26 billion, resulting in anoperating loss of $420 million,according to the audit.

“The office undertook prelim-inary inquiry into theUniversity’s financial practices toassess the level of risk associatedwith those practices to determinewhether a full audit would beappropriate,” McAleer said.“That risk assessment yieldedthe determination that an auditwas warranted focusing on con-tract and procurement issues.”

The OSC will conduct a follow-up on the University to make suretheir recommendations havebeen met, he said. The processusually takes a year.

helped create more than one millionjobs in the past year.

To get the economy back onits feet, Obama proposed improv-ing the nation’s research, educa-tion system and infrastructure.

“None of us can predict withcertainty what the next big indus-try will be, or where the new jobswill come from. … What we cando — what America does betterthan anyone else — is spark thecreativity and imagination of ourpeople,” Obama said.

He said the governmentshould invest more in researchand technology to suppor tinnovators to create new tech-nologies and jobs. In his budg-et address in February, he willpropose increasing subsidiza-tion for American scientistsand their research to meet thisneed — including investmentsin biomedical technology andrenewable energy.

While innovation, research anddevelopment is important to keepthe United States in line with othernations around the world — andcreate more jobs for Americans —Obama said to maintain this com-petition, America needs toimprove education.

Obama said he plans to helpcollege students afford schoolby proposing to make perma-nent the $10,000, four-yeartuition tax credit.

“If we raiseexpectations forevery child. … bythe end of thedecade, Americawill once againhave the highestproportion of col-lege graduates inthe world,” thepresident said.

He also advised Congress takea stand on illegal immigration,especially in regard to those col-lege students who are the chil-dren of undocumented workersand may be deported after theyreceive their degree.

“Let’s stop expelling talented,responsible young people whocould be staffing our researchlabs or starting a new business,who could be further enrichingthis nation,” the president said.

Obama also described hisplans for decreasing the nation’s$1.4 trillion deficit — a freeze onannual domestic spending forthe next five years, which wouldreduce the deficit by more than$400 billion over the nextdecade. This would also requirecuts and consolidations to elimi-nate waste in the federal govern-ment, special programs anddefense spending.

But Obama advised not to cutfrom education.

“Cutting the deficit by guttingour investments in innovationand education is like lighteningan overloaded airplane by remov-ing its engine,” he said. “It mayfeel like you’re flying high at first,but it won’t take long beforeyou’ll feel the impact.”

While throughout the speech,Republicans rose withDemocrats in unison with mostof Obama’s ideas, one areashowed divisiveness among the

members — Obama’s proposalto end tax cuts for the wealthiest2 percent of Americans.

“Before we take money awayfrom our schools, or scholarshipsaway from our students, weshould ask millionaires to give uptheir tax break,” Obama said.

Despite this instance, RuthMandel, director of theUniversity’s Eagleton Institute ofPolitics, said the bipartisan imageduring the State of the Unionaddress is important for theAmerican public.

Americans are used to see-ing the separate sides sittingand standing based on partyaffiliation, but Mandel said lastnight presented a hopeful imagethat Congress can work togeth-er to help the country get backon track.

“I’m not one to say that thisis trivial,” she said. “Images areimpor tant. Ever y politicianrunning for of fice knows imageis important.”

This image of hope and unityis especially true for the presi-dent, who may be losing the pub-lic’s confidence, Mandel said.

“I think ever yone agreesthat he’s come into office at avery dif ficult time, and I believehe still has the support andreally the sympathy andencouragement of a vast num-ber of Americans, but that does-n’t do away with their prob-lems,” she said.

It is important that the presi-dent demonstrate he can lead introubled times to set the tonefor the country — especially to

improve theeconomy, themajor issue onmost American’sminds today,Mandel said.

“Without ahealthy economy,nothing else canhappen,” she said.

Rutgers UniversityDemocrats PresidentChristopher Pflaum said fixingthe economy is something thattakes time, although the slowpace of recovery is frustratingfor those who have been out ofwork for some time.

“I think that PresidentObama has made the economyhis major focus right when hetook office almost two years agofrom now, and I think he’s donea lot,” he said.

Pflaum believes Obama inhis address showed how thecountry can move forward.

“He finally challenged theAmerican people to move up,”Pflaum said.

Holt, Pallone discuss funding for heating programBY BRETT SIEGELCONTRIBUTING WRITER

Representatives Rush Holt, D-12, and Frank Pallone, D-6, metMonday morning at the PuertoRican Action Board (PRAB)headquarters in New Brunswickto discuss issues pertaining tohome heating programs for low-income families in the surround-ing New Jersey area.

During this tough economicdownfall, the Low IncomeHome Energy AssistanceProgram (LIHEAP), which pro-vides monetary assistance toeligible low-income householdsstruggling to meet their energyneeds, was created to helpthose people suf fering fromfinancial woes.

“No one should go a daywithout heat,” said Holt, whospoke at the press conferenceto show his support for the pro-gram and PRAB.

One of the issues discussedat the meeting was the threatthat budget cuts would reducethe effectiveness and outreachof LIHEAP.

As an avid supporter of thecommunity ser vices, Palloneadded that a new Republicanmajority in the House ofRepresentatives would be themain cause for a cut in federal spending towardsdomestic needs.

“As costs for energy haverisen, the same amount of fund-ing as last year might not go asfar,” Pallone said.

These substantial and funda-mental issues are a major prob-lem for many New Jersey resi-dents who need help payingtheir heating and energy bill,he said. This is a major reason for fighting against thebudget cuts.

Though $175 million hasbeen allocated to New Jersey

for this program, a steadyincrease in funds compared tolast year is necessary to keep allof the state’s low-income resi-dents warm during the winter,Holt said.

Although PRAB developed aprogram to reach out to thecommunity and make it knownthat these advantages wereavailable, numerous citizens areunaware they are eligible foraid, said Mario Vargas, PRABexecutive director.

“PRAB has developed into acomprehensive human servicesprogram,” Vargas said.

The action board provideseasy access to applications forheating assistance in theiroffices and often brings it up atmeetings. But Vargas said morecould be done in order to helpevery family in need.

Though he is proud the $300million grant was able to weath-erize and protect 400 homes

from the harsh New Jersey win-ters, Vargas said similar increas-es in funding and program bene-fits are necessary.

“I implore and urge [the con-gressmen] to keep fighting andhold the line,” Vargas said.

Pallone also shed light onthe concern New Jersey citi-zens have with general econom-ic worries.

“While weather is gettingworse and there is more needfor heat assistance, there is, atthe same time, unemploymentrates going up,” Pallone said.

This factor makes it evenmore important that LIHEAPgets increased rather than levelfederal funding, he said.

By decreasing the strainNew Jersey citizens feel fromhigh energy and electric bills,LIHEAP increases their abilityto pay for other necessitiessuch as health care and food, Vargas said.

“It is the most vulnerablepeople that are impacted the most [by the high cost ofheating and energy bills],”Pallone said.

Another risk that low-incomefamilies and individuals face isthe threat of fires occurringafter they replace central heatwith space heaters or candles inmore extreme situations,Vargas said. LIHEAP is avail-able to keep households fromreaching this point if residentsseek out its benefits.

“I was impressed by the profi-ciency of the board,” saidMonroe Township residentLurline Jacobsen, who receivedfinancial aid from LIHEAP.

The program and board com-plete the tasks at hand whengiven the correct amount offunding and is needed forLIUHEAP to continue function-ing efficiently and productively,Vargas said.

Local legislators announce employee training grants BY SONJA TYSIAKCONTRIBUTING WRITER

Democratic Sen. Bob Smithand Assemblymen UpendraChivukula and Joseph Egan, allrepresenting District 17, unveiledthe winners of the most recentCustomized Training Grant.

Given by the Department ofLabor and Workforce, the grantwas awarded to the RutgersUniversity Medical BillersConsortium, New Brunswick’sSt. Peter’s HealthcareConsortium, Piscataway’s L’OrealUSA, and North Brunswick’sPhoenix Container, said KerriGatling, the New JerseyDepartment of Labor andWorkforce Development’s Officeof Communications specialist.

“Customized Training Grantsassist participating businessesraise the productivity and skills oftheir workers and increase the abil-ity of the businesses to compete inthe global economy,” she said.

Members of the Department ofLabor and Workforce review appli-cants every two months, andaward grants to companies theybelieve are suited for customizedskills training, Gatling said. Theintention is to make New Jerseyworkers more skilled and compet-itive in today’s economy.

“These grants are competitiveand they are designed to assistbusinesses to train their work-force in the specific skills neededby the employer,” she said.

In addition to helping out busi-nesses, the grants were put inplace to create and sustain jobs inthis recovering economy, shesaid. They will also help increaseworkers’ salaries.

Gatling is also hopeful thegrants will establish new jobsand a better lifestyle for the typi-cal worker.

“These grants are certainly aninvestment by the State and areexpected to result in the creationof new jobs, the retention of jobs

and/or an increase in wages forthe trained workers,” she said.

Egan said he believes that thegrants will help each businessemployee become more compe-tent in the workforce.

“We want the workers tobecome more productive in theirjob fields,” he said. “This willmake them more marketable forjobs in society.”

Winners received dif ferentsums of grants, according tothe Department of Labor andWorkforce’s website. RutgersUniversity Medical BillersConsor tium and St. Peter’sHealthcare Consor tium each received $124,000, theL’Oreal USA received $64,200and Phoenix Containerreceived $48,800.

The grant program is avail-able to all applicants that areindividual employers, organiza-tions, labor organizations, com-munity-based organizations andconsortiums, said Ryan

Lemanski, legislative aide for Chivukula.

The four grants are expectedto train over 1,500 currentemployees and allow the recipi-ents to hire 62 new employees,he said.

“The money comes from theNew Jersey WorkforceDevelopment Partnership Act,which is funded by employer &employee tax contributions,”Lemanski said. “Forty-five per-cent of this money is used for cus-tomized training grants.”

In order for these founda-tions to receive the grants, theyundergo a rigorous process,Lemanski said. They mustapply for a grant and explainhow they will use the money totrain employees, how manyemployers they will hire andexplain why the money willbenefit their businesses.

Winners were approved fordifferent training programs,depending on their businesses

and the skill sets they need tohone best, Lemanski said.

“Rutgers University MedicalBillers was approved for MedicalRecords Administration, MedicalRecords Technology andMedical Technology,” he said.“St. Peter’s was approved forLeadership for Results,Operations Management,Computer Sciences and MedicalRecords Technology.”

Egan, Chivukula and theNew Jersey Depar tment ofLabor believe the grants will have a positive ef fect onNew Brunswick.

These grants will help theseNew Jersey employees becomemore productive in their workand acquire new skills, Egan said.

“Every person that has theirskills upgraded by these grantswill have an advantage. It is a def-inite plus,” he said. “When every-one in the company is well-trained, it has a positive effect onthe entire workforce.”

I tend to buy things thatwill last and produce multi-ple meals — frozen chick-en and boxes of pasta asopposed to more expen-sive and easily consumeditems like pizza bagels andfrozen dinners.

The secret is to actuallycook the food. Seriously.

Processed foods tend to be pricey and terrible foryou anyway.

It only takes about 15 minutes to chop up achicken breast, steam a cup of rice and cook themeat to make a decent stir-fry. (It’s all about thesauce. I use sesame garlic and people always com-pliment on how good it smells.)

Then again, sometimes there isn’t time. TheDaily Targum’s office doesn’t have a stove, but ithas a microwave. Items like Chef Boyardee andCup of Noodle are usually 10 for $10 and three for$1. On days when I’m too tired or running late, Ijust grab a can from the pantry and go.

My other method of cheap eating is takingadvantage of my nine femalehousemates. (Crazy, right?) Well,imagine about five of them enjoy tobake — especially one super-baker,who I know is baking a carrot cakeas I type.

It’s a dream come true to returnhome after four hours of classes andfind a loaf of banana bread you can

cut a slice from before rushing back out the doorfor work. As long as the food isn’t off-limits, don’t beafraid to take a share.

If your housemates don’t bake, I’ll bet they gettakeout. As I said earlier, I know there are at leastthree boxes of leftovers in the fridge. If you waitlong enough, the original owner might decidethey don’t want them anymore. This is yourchance to pounce.

Just be wary. Some foods do not age well, and ameal is always better going down than coming backup. And try not to be too annoying about asking. Iknow my housemates must be sick of my obses-sion by now, but I really do hate wasting food.

That’s pretty much how I save money and feedmyself. It’s not luxurious and it’s not always easy,but it keeps me from having to pay late fees or begmy parents for money.

In the words of Forrest Gump, that’s all I have tosay about that.

T here are two thingsto know about me.The first is that I

work for The DailyTargum and thereforehave no life. The second isthat I am constantly in astate of insatiable hunger.

It sounds amusing, butbeing hungry at my rateusually means I turn into an obsessed monster con-stantly in pursuit of something.

I can tell you the exact contents of my house’srefrigerator, starting with the condiments andending with my housemates’ leftovers. Myfavorite question to ask people is, “What did youhave for dinner?” and “What are you making?”When someone starts eating in the office, I’mimmediately there and asking if I can try it, steala bite, smell it.

And when I get food? It’s down the gullet with-out a second thought. If I’m especially hungry oreating something delicious, I tend to unconscious-ly emit little noises of pleasure. Which soundsdirty, I know, but it’s true. I’m oftentold it’s quite disgusting and evendisturbing, but I don’t care becauseI love food.

There’s only one problem I runinto in my pursuit of food-relatedhappiness — money.

Since it’s safe to say I don’t getpaid very much and don’t havetime for another job, I’m usually consumed by twoconcerns: How much money I have and what I caneat that day.

When not paying attention in class, I’m eitherbudgeting my impending monetary affairs or writ-ing a grocery list.

After living off-campus for six months (and cut-ting my checks without parental assistance), I’vedeveloped a handy system of making sure I canafford rent and utilities every month. I call this planDon’t Spend Anything.

OK, I admit this is impossible. But I make it mygoal to not spend anything if I don’t have to. Thismeans when I shop for food I usually search out thecheapest and most generic of items.

Do you pay attention to the price-per-ounceamount next to the price tag? I do. It sounds analand tedious, but it makes me feel better knowingI’ve saved a couple of dollars.

No joke, the discount aisle makes my heart racewith anticipation. It’s surprising to see how muchyou can save by checking the sales and specialoffers. I remember with pride the month Stop andShop had Ocean Spray Cran-Grape juice on sale,buy one get one free.

STORY IN UNIVERSITY

QUOTE OF THE DAY

“A meal is always better

going down thancoming back up.”

V ermont is taking a step that should have been taken a long timeago to undo precedent that never should have been set. Sen.Virginia Lyons, D-Vt., has introduced a bill to add an amendment

to the U.S. Constitution, which would assert “corporations are not personsunder the laws of the United States or any of its jurisdictional subdivisions.”

Corporations are not people, and they should never have beengiven personhood rights in the first place. Corporations are merely col-lections of contracts and nothing more.

As of now, corporations are provided all of the same rights under theConstitution as any given citizen of the nation. As a result, these businesseshave been able to dominate American politics by donating absurd amountsof money to candidates who go on to ignore the wants, needs and desires ofAmerican citizens in favor of giving these corporations whatever they want.That is not democracy. No person should have to live under a governmentwho cares more for legal fictions than for real, live human beings.

The U.S. Supreme Court one year ago ruled in favor of nonprofit organ-ization Citizens United in the landmark case, “Citizens United v. FederalElection Commission.” This decision was disastrous, and it is great to seeVermont fighting back against this great injustice. Justice John PaulStevens, one of the few people involved in the case who seems to have hishead on straight, wrote that “corporations have no consciences, no beliefs,no feelings, no thoughts, no desires. They are not themselves members of‘We the People’ by whom and for whom our Constitution was established.”We couldn’t agree more with Stevens’ feelings on the matter.

Vermont is taking the step that every state should be taking. Thatno other state seems to be concerned about the matter of corporatepersonhood is a legitimately frightening thought. If this legislation issuccessful and its urgings make an impact on Congress, hopefullyother states will follow suit, until the federal government takes notice.

Then again, even if Congress does not heed Vermont’s call, otherstates should follow suit with their own legislation regardless. If thefederal government disregards the voice of one state, it certainlywould not disregard the voices of all of them. It is time for theAmerican people to take back the democratic process. It is lunacy thatthey ever had to do so in the first place.

Reject corporatepersonhood, rights

T he leak of the so-called “Palestine Papers” should have been amajor topic of conversation in the United States, based on theinformation those papers contained. For some strange reason,

it seems the leak has gone relatively unnoticed in the States. Thesepapers are yet another strong piece of evidence in favor of increasedtransparency in government.

Anyone who has been following the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has heardthe same story — that Palestine has been actively refusing compromise andthat the United States and Israel, despite their best efforts, cannot makePalestine budge. According to the leaked documents, this is far from thecase. In reality, it seems that the roles are actually reversed. Palestine hasoffered to make numerous massive concessions, and the United States andIsrael have rejected them all. One of the more notable compromisesPalestine has offered is limiting the number of refugees allowed to return totheir old homeland to 100,000 refugees over a 10-year period — out ofroughly three million people claiming refugee rights. Another striking con-cession — also rejected — was Palestine’s agreement to relinquish theirclaims to the Jewish and Armenian quarters in Jerusalem.

Palestine offered other concessions as well, all of which were justas surprising given the story the public hears over and over again, andall of which were also rejected. It is clear that, according to the“Palestine Papers,” the United States is firmly rooted on Israel’s side ofthe negotiations, and both the United States and Israel are far less will-ing to compromise than Palestine in this situation.

The fact that these papers tell a different story than the one thatmany people have heard throughout the years is a bit disconcerting.Unsurprisingly, the documents have caused uproar in Palestine, asmany citizens feel betrayed by their government. In a sense — thoughdefinitely not to the same extent — the government has misled theAmerican citizens. There should never be a reason for a governmentto lie to its citizens. But, sadly, that tends to happen rather often. Theleak of these papers demonstrates that governing bodies need to bemore transparent with those they are governing, no matter what.

Sure, the revelations in the papers were not earth-shattering — sur-prising, but not earth-shattering. Still, regardless of the magnitude,there is a message in all of this — don’t tell your citizens one thing ifyou are just going to go out and do the opposite.

T he column in The DailyTargum from lastThursday titled “Anti-

Semitism exists today,” accuratelynotes the prevalence of anti-Semitism in the worldtoday. According to the FBI’s sta-tistics for 2009, more religious hatecrimes victimized Jews than thoseof every other religion combined.

Anti-Semitism is also present atthe University. An upcoming evententitled “Never Again” promotesanti-Semitic attitudes under theguise of being anti-Israel. Criticismof Israel that is comparable to thatleveled against other countriesshould be welcome. According tothe U.S. Department of State in areport addressing the rise of anti-Semitism to Congress, comparingthe behavior of Israel to the Nazisis anti-Semitic, since it has no con-nection to reality.

I am not surprised this event isbeing sponsored by BAKA:Students United for Middle EasternJustice, which has consistentlylodged unfair criticism againstIsrael. Now, we can be sure thatBAKA is indeed anti-Semitic andhas no place in our civil discourse.

The greatness of universities istheir full freedom of expression,and BAKA certainly has the rightto express anti-Semitic rhetoric. Atthe same time, all morally upright

people have the obligation tospeak out, oppose hatred and chal-lenge bigotry from BAKA and allwho sympathize with terrorism. Areport from the U.S. Commissionon Civil Rights phrased it this way:“Universities cannot pretend thatcalling for the destruction of Israelwith the use of Nazi images is partof the normal academic discourse.If they do, they are being untruth-ful with themselves.”

The Israel that I studied in thispast fall is very different than theone BAKA describes. The Israelisand Palestinians that I met werepeace-loving people who largelybelieved in two states living peace-fully alongside each other. BAKApurports to be concerned aboutthe welfare of Palestinians, butnever organized a vigil for theFatah leaders who were thrown offthe top of a building in 2006 duringthe Hamas overthrow of Gaza.

We have an obligation to raiseour level of public discourse and touse rhetoric that supports a peacefulsolution to this regional conflict. AJewish homeland is the only way toprevent a second Holocaust. Theanti-Semites of our generation cloaktheir true intentions under the guiseof anti-Zionism. Martin Luther KingJr. wisely said, “When people criti-cize Zionists, they mean Jews, youare talking anti-Semitism.”

Staying consistent down lowis a must against the likes of the Huskies, who boast one of the nation’s best players in for-ward Maya Moore, who aver-ages 24.2 points per game.

“She has to be in the top 10,easy in the top 10,” Stringer saidof where Moore stands amongall-time greats. “Maybe top five.I’d have to give some thought tothat, some real thought to theplayers that preceded her, butshe’s a special talent. Her beinga special talent is evident withthe way she plays.”

But Moore is to UConn asjunior forward April Sykes isto the Knights.

The Starkville,Miss., nativecame up to thecollege ranks thesame year asMoore, Sykes as the No. 2 over-all recruit andMoore one spotabove her.

Their careerstook dif ferentpaths, but Sykes,the team’s leading scorer, still bringsthe ability to

drop 20 points any given night. Playing a Rutgers-style of

basketball must come firstthough, according to Stringer.

“You always want to beatthe best and clearly UConn isthe best,” Stringer said. “I thinkthat to a great extent, we justhave to play our game, play theway that we play.”

Stringer knows better thananyone that all streaks and records are meant to be broken. A loss tonight, andthe Knights would continue ontheir way with just one conference blemish.

A win though, and theKnights would set of f the national radar, this timewith much more thana faint blip.

Junior forward Maya Moore (white) joined Connecticut as the No. 1recruit in the nation and won the Player of the Year award last season.

“It’s different when you expe-rience it,” Stringer said. “They[Connecticut] know what it feelslike to have that kind of success.These other young people justhear about it, but they don’tknow. And that’s not their fault,they just don’t know.”

The Knights carr y theirown streaks into the matchupthough, even if none are asgroundbreaking as a 90-gamewinning streak.

Stringer andCo. will take thefloor of the LouisBrown AthleticCenter tonightlookingto improveupon a perfect 8-0record within it confines.

The squadhas thrived inthe post as oflate thanks to the play of Leeand sophomorecenter MoniqueOliver, translating to acurrent five-game winningstreak that includes a pairof road wins.

“I don’t want to get besidemyself and start playing mindgames with myself, thinking Ihave to do something dif ferentbecause of the name of the team we’re playing,” Leesaid. “I want to keep maintain-ing the same level of intensityand energy I’ve had in thethree previous games but I’mjust going to prepare myself the same way.”

In those games, the Miami native notched consecu-tive double-doubles and duringthe win streak averages 18.0points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.2blocks per game.

Canada is known for manydif ferent things, but theCanadian product that the

R u t g e r ss w i m -

ming and diving team is mostthankful for at the moment isfreshman Chelsea Rolin.

Rolin, who grew up nearMontreal, is the newest memberof the Scarlet Knights after join-ing the team earlier this month.

In Montreal, students grad-uate high school in 11th grade,then enter two years of prepschool called “CEGEP” beforeattending college. Rolinchanged programs during herfirst year of CEGEP, puttingher a semester behind anddelaying her arrival at Rutgers.

She was named the topfemale athlete in high schooland top overall athlete in bothof her years on the swim team.Rolin was also named the topathlete on her CEGEP squadboth years and led the team toa pair of division titles. She wasrecruited to swim by severalCanadian universities, butdecided to come to the UnitedStates after a recruiting visit ayear ago on the Banks.

“A couple of American uni-versities had contacted me, but

nothing of ficial,” Rolin said.“Rutgers was one of the firstschools I visited. I chose RUmainly because of the team. Assoon as I met them I feltinstantly connected, as if I wasa part of something bigger.”

Rolin faced the task of assimi-lating to changes in nearly everyfacet of her life upon arriving at

Rutgers. She had to adjust to lifeas a college freshman, the cultureshock of an entirely new countryand the difficulty of joining a teampast the midpoint of its season.

“Initially, I was extremely wor-ried about joining the team in themiddle of the season,” Rolin said.“The team had already grown andbonded together, and I was scaredthat I wouldn’t fit in or be wel-comed. But as soon as I got here,the girls made me feel comfortable

and like I was already a part of theteam which made the transitionthat much easier.”

She adapted seamlesslythanks to the support of her team-mates, and the only shock hasbeen the one that she delivers inthe pool. Rolin made an instantimpact for the Knights, grabbingtwo victories in her very firstmeet with the club earlier thismonth against Maryland.

“I was so nervous prior to themeet,” Rolin said. “I was scaredI would let my team down orthat I wouldn’t live up to every-one’s expectations. I just wantedto make them proud.”

Rolin not only lived up to herteam’s expectations, sheexceeded them. She took first inthe 400-meter freestyle, finish-ing in 4:27.35 and won the 800-meter freestyle by 14 secondswith a time of 9:02.26.

“Chelsea has been a niceaddition to the program,” saidhead coach Phil Spiniello. “Shehas a great work ethic, and welook forward to her contribu-tion to the program over thenext four years.”

In addition to looking forwardto next month’s Big EastChampionships in Louisville,Ky., she also has her sights seton qualifying for this year’sNCAA Championships and theCanadian Olympic team in 2012.

Canadian freshman makes impact

Sophomore wing Dane Miller recorded his third double-double of theyear on Saturday with 17 points and 10 rebounds against Seton Hall.

“[Cronin] has added a lot ofdepth and talent,” Rice said.“He has places to turn to on hisbench. He has six, seven play-ers that he can turn to if one ofhis starting five is not playingwell. One thing I take is he’sdone a tremendous job restock-ing the talent at Cincinnati.”

The Bearcats combined towin just 24 games throughCronin’s first two seasons, butCincinnati (17-3, 4-3) nowboasts one of the most physicalfrontcourts in the Big East.

Bearcat for wards YancyGates and Ibrahima Thomasaid Cincinnati in registeringthe conference’s sixth-bestrebounding margin a yearremoved from a backcourt-ori-ented of fense.

Former point guard and pro-gram flag-bearer Deonta Vaughngraduated, while enigmatic wingLance Stephenson, the 2009-10Big East Rookie of the Year,opted for the NBA after just oneyear with Cincinnati.

“We just want to play ourbasketball, control what wecan control — how we playdefense, how we run ourof fense — and take eachgame,” senior guard MikeCoburn said. “We’re not reallyworried about their style ofplay or what they do. We’regoing to do what we do and tryto execute.”

Rutgers (12-7, 3-4) droppeda pair of contests a year ago tothe Bearcats, who ended theKnights’ season in a 69-68 winin the first round of the BigEast Tournament at MadisonSquare Garden.

Referees called a shootingfoul with 1.8 seconds left onsophomore wing Dane Miller,which sent Stephenson to thefree throw line and ended upbeing the final points scored inthe Knights’ season.

Miller denies the foul tak-ing place, but has since movedon from the incident andcomes into the matchup of f ofa 17-point, 10-rebound per-formance against Seton Hall.

“I really don’t think about it,actually,” said Miller, the 2009-10

rookie runner-up to Stephenson.“After the game, I went out thereand saw my mom and forgotabout it, truthfully. I really don’tthink about games last year.”

The Knights similarlyrebounded from a 1-4 start toBig East play with two consec-utive victories, highlighted bya 66-60 decision over SetonHall on Saturday in Newark.

It took the Knights untilFeb. 14 to earn three confer-ence victories last season, butRutgers cannot af ford to loseits sense of urgency againstCincinnati, Coburn said.

“I just let them know, ‘Stayhungry,’” said Coburn of theyounger Knights. “We’ve gotthree [Big East] wins so far. We’vegot a big road game at Cincy. Tryto be focused for the next upcom-ing game and take it one game ata time. Don’t be satisfied.”

Rutgers’ biggest obstacle —both literally and figuratively— in extending its conferencewin streak is Gates, whoanchors the Bearcats to the BigEast’s best scoring defense.

Gates’ three-point play with eight seconds to play pro-pelled Cincinnati to a 53-51 victo-ry over St. John’s on Saturday in New York.

Gates and Thomas combineto average 12.8 rebounds pergame to lead the Bearcats whileaveraging a combined 47 min-utes per contest.

“Both guys are 6-10. YancyGates is probably 6-10, 240[pounds],” Miller said. “He’s apitbull, so we have to box him out— double team and box him out.We have to box out everybody,not just those two. This is the BigEast. Everybody wants to be aggressive.”

Like Cronin, a central part ofRice’s plan to get Rutgers intothe upper half of the Big Eastdeals with defense, particularlythat of the 6-foot-7 Miller.

Maybe in another fouryears, a first-year head coachwill look at Rice’s blueprintwith the Knights as a template.

“If you want to win you haveto defend in the Big East,” Ricesaid. “People who usually do havethe best field goal percentagedefense [and] have the best defen-sive stats. We manipulated not justDane, but all of their thinkingabout, ‘If you don’t defend, youdon’t win.’”

T he NFL named formerRutgers cornerbackDevin McCourty to

the NFL’s All-Pro second team.The New England Patriots

selected McCourty in the firstround of last year’s NFL draft.

McCourty finished first andthird on the defense withseven interceptions and 82tackles, respectively.

The accolade is one of manyfor McCourty during his rookieseason, as he will also play in thePro Bowl Sunday and is underconsideration for the DefensiveRookie of the Year award.

He is the second ScarletKnight named to an All-Pro teamthis year, as former running backRay Rice of the Baltimore Ravenswas named to the first team.

IF YANKEES SHORTSTOPDerek Jeter ever switches posi-tions, general manager BrianCashman thinks he would bebest suited for center field.

Jeter signed a three-year, $51million deal, which holds an optionfor a fourth year with New York.

The Yankees captain, 36,won his fifth Gold Glove awardin 2010, but there have beentalks in the organization aboutmoving him from shortstopdue to his decline in range.

For now at least, Cashman andthe organization are staying withJeter, as the GM said yesterday,“Jeter is our shortstop, period.”

BEFORE MIKE NAPOLIgot to put on a Toronto Blue Jaysuniform, the catcher was traded tothe Texas Rangers for relief pitch-er Frank Francisco and cash.

Napoli was also traded Fridayfrom the Los Angeles Angels. TheAngels received Vernon Wells andcash for Napoli and Juan Rivera.

Napoli hit at least 20 homeruns in each of the last threeseasons, but he has not puttogether more than 96 games atcatcher in a season due toinjuries and positional changes.

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTSwide receiver Wes Welker sayshe regrets the digs he took atNew York Jets head coach RexRyan’s foot-fetish scandal priorto the Patriots playoff matchupwith New York.

Welker was benched forthe team’s first of fensive pos-session as punishment for hisremarks, although he didfield the Patriot’s first punt ofthe game.

“At the end of the day, it’sabout football. That’s whatit’s supposed to be about,”Welker said.

THE NEW YORKIslanders suspended goalieEvgeni Nabokov after he failedto report to the team after beingclaimed off waivers.

The Islanders snaggedNabokov just two days after hesigned a one-year contract withthe Detroit Red Wings.

“I don’t see how I could helpthe Islanders or what I could dofor them,” Nabokov said. “Itdoesn’t make a lot of sense tome. And I hope they under-stand that.”

The Rutgers wrestling team tooka monumental leap in the program’sgoals last Friday by defeating No. 3

V i r g i n i aTech.

The win marked the first timethe Scarlet Knights took down atop-five team and showcased theprogram’s growth in front ofnearly 3,000 spectators.

So now what?“What’s next for us is I’d like

to finish the rest of the year offstrong,” said head coach ScottGoodale, whose Knights movedto No. 9 in yesterday’s coaches’poll. “We still have a couple of bigchallenges ahead of us, and I’dlike to finish it off strong. At thesame time, I want to make surewe are healthy and rested.”

For Goodale and Co., it is easyto stay satisfied with the win overthe Hokies and coast through

their five remaining duals, but thatis not the way they are approach-ing the end of the season.

In fact to some, Virginia Techis already a distant memory.

“It’s mostly out of my mind,”said sophomore Joe Langel.“Sometimes I’ll look back on itbecause you can’t help it. We put alot of work into getting that winand the atmosphere, but you haveto get past it. You can’t dwell on it.It’s just one match. Know what youdid right, know what you didwrong and learn from it.”

It was Langel who got the LouisBrown Athletic Center jumping onFriday when he kicked off the matchby upsetting No. 13 Jarrod Garnettof Virginia Tech with an 8-7 decision.The win, coupled with another victo-ry over Rider the following day,bumped Langel’s record to 15-6.

However, it did not vaultLangel into the InterMat top 20for 125-pounders.

“I’m not really thinking about

[rankings],” Langel said. “That’s notgoing to really matter until the end ofthe season. Right now, I’m just wor-rying about wrestling, stayinghealthy and winning.”

Despite Langel’s upset win, jun-ior Trevor Melde’s upset over No. 13Chris Diaz and sophomore DanRinaldi’s five-match winning streak,no new Knight wrestler is represent-ed in the rankings.

Rutgers still has five rankedwrestlers, and Goodale believesthere should be more.

“I don’t know how Danny Rinaldiis not ranked,” he said. “He has onebad match, and he’s not ranked.”

Rinaldi carries a 17-5 record withhim after going 2-0 on the weekend,including a 10-1 major decisionagainst Rider’s James Brundage.

“I try not to pay too much atten-tion to it,” Rinaldi said of his omis-sion from the rankings. “It’s notsomething that I can control. I’mjust going to control what I canand take it one match at a time.”

The Lodi, N.J., native has agolden opportunity this weekendto make a push for the rankingswhen the Knights travel to faceVirginia and Navy.

The Midshipmen boast theNo. 11 wrestler in the nation,Luke Rebertus, in Rinaldi’s 184-pound weight class. Although thetwo have never wrestled before,the ranking does not skewRinaldi’s expectations.

“I’m looking for a win,” hesaid. “I’m just going to try andwrestle my match, and if I’mable to do that, then I’ll be fine.”

Gaining national respect froman individual standpoint is thenext step that Goodale wants tosee his wrestlers take.

“That’s what we stress. If youwant respect, here is your opportu-nity to get it,” Goodale said. “We’vegot it already from a team stand-point, but if you want individualrespect around the country, theseare the matches you’ve got to win.

Rushdan boastsexperience fromUConn upset

BY ANTHONY HERNANDEZCORRESPONDENT

There is no other way around it, theRutgers women’s basketball team is tak-ing on arguably the greatest women’s bas-

ketball team everassembled tonightwhen they playNo. 2 Connecticutin Piscataway.

Behind the talkof UConn’s

unprecedented 90-game winning streakand all the records the Huskies set alongthe way, lays a blip on the radar whenRutgers once came out on top.

Good thing one member of the ScarletKnights roster still holds the memory ofthat victory.

“Just to never give up. You’ve got tofight,” said junior guard Khadijah Rushdanon what she learned from beatingConnecticut, 73-71, in 2008. “The mindsetof this team and playing for [head coachC.Vivian Stringer] is always a fightingmentality, always playing hard.

“Regardless of what may happen duringthe game, we have to always remember that.”

While memories of the Knights’ victo-ry over head coach Geno Auriema’s then-undefeated Connecticut team may faintlyexist, Rushdan still brings more to thetable than any other member of theRutgers roster.

With a win tonight, the Wilmington,Del., native could become one of the fewplayers in the country to own two winsagainst UConn (19-1, 7-0).

The junior class of forwards ChelseyLee and April Sykes and guard NikkiSpeed all came to the Banks a seasonafter the win and lack the winning experi-ence Rushdan has.

Since that time, the Knights (12-6, 5-0)have dropped five-straight to their confer-ence rivals — a stretch in which theHuskies have not lost to anyother conference opponent.

Junior guard Khadijah Rushdan is the only member of the Scarlet Knights’ squad that claims a victory over Connecticut in her career.The Wilmington, Del., native is second on the team in scoring and averages 13.3 points per game over the past three contests.
