A new online tool created by Universityresearchers will help inform the public aboutcritical sea level increases and flooding haz-ards in New Jersey.

Following years of study accompanied bysurveys and testing, which began in 2009,University researchers released the user-friendly website www.njfloodmapper.org,said Lisa Auermuller, watershed and out-reach coordinator for the Jacques CousteauNational Estuarine Research Reserve.

The creators of the website concentratedon applying digital map-making to site-spe-cific information about landscapes to help

town and county decision-makers, saidRichard Lathrop Jr., director of Grant F.Walton Center for Remote Sensing andSpatial Analysis.

Lathrop, a professor in the Departmentof Ecology, Evolution, and NaturalResources, said the interactive website’svisualization tools illustrate the impact ofsea level rises from 1-6 feet on user-selected areas in the state.

The site also demonstrates the confidencelevel, or amount of certainty, in the mappingitself for a particular area in relation toexpected flooding, he said.

Populations most vulnerable to floodingwere also of great importance to the study,Lathrop said. The creators examined factorsincluding the socioeconomic status andmobility of age groups.

He said they incorporated the locations offacilities such as schools, fire stations andhospitals in their maps.

Street-level views of selected locations arealso available on the website, he said. Thesephotos simulate what different sea levelswould look like on the ground.

Lathrop said the locations selected werebased on landmarks that had meaning to thesurrounding community and provided valu-able perspectives.

Women’s rights activists pre-sented a new perspective on strug-gles women face in Africa yester-day during the Center for Women’sGlobal Leadership’s “Talking Backand Creating Change.”

The event, which was held atthe Ruth Dill Johnson CrockettBuilding’s conference room onDouglass Campus, hosted threefemale human rights defenderswho spoke about their variouspersonal experiences in dealingwith the issue of women’s rightsissues in Africa.

Savi Bisnath, associate directorat the Center for Women’s GlobalLeadership, said the panel discus-sion was a unique opportunity tohear from African women them-selves about their experiences.

“Often, their experiences arefiltered to us,” Bisnath said.

She said she hopes to raiseawareness of the issues theactivists face during their work,such as violence against womenand the situation of women inarmed-conflict situations.

Ruth Ochieng, who hasresearched and documentedthe treatment of women inAfrica during conflict and post-conflict situations, spoke abouthow academics and activistssometimes approach humanrights issues dif ferently.

Women’s rights activists discuss abuse in Africa“As activists, it is not just about

the numbers, but also about themeaning of the [personal] story,”Ochieng said.

She also discussed howhuman rights activists often fail tofactor in the situation of womenwhen assessing conflict situa-tions. Human rights activists onlybegan to pay attention to howconflict situations affectedwomen in recent years, in partbecause of her activism, she said.

“There was [once] no litera-ture of what happened to women,even in women’s academia,”Ochieng said. “Often, the discus-sion was simply one line that saidwomen were raped.”

Hannah Korocho, who workswith government officials in theAfrican country of South Sudanas a member of parliament, saidSouth Sudanese women contin-ue to face many challenges,despite women’s rights makingsome progress since the end ofthe civil war.

She also said even thoughSouth Sudan’s constitutionreserves 25 percent of all govern-ment positions for women, theactual percentage of women ingovernment jobs is actuallyaround 10 percent.

Jolly Kamuntu, a radio journal-ist in the Democratic Republic ofthe Congo, shared her story onhow her women’s rights workinvolves gathering the personal

stories of women experiencingsexual violence. Kamuntu alsosaid her work was dangerous,since where she lives and works— she could be raped at any time.

One of Kamuntu’s journalis-tic projects revolved around herbeing an eyewitness to an inci-dent where a group of armedmen gathered all of the womenin a village to publicly rape themone by one.

She said she worked with ahuman rights organization toinstall a phone in every villageand then began to teach thewomen of the village how to useSMS cards, so that their storieswould be fed into a database andpublicized to raise awareness ofsexual violence.

“That was how the worldbegan to know about rapes in the[Democratic Republic of theCongo],” Kamuntu said.

Ochieng said in African soci-ety, the biggest women’s rights issues often involve economic issues.

“In many African nations,women are not allowed to ownproperty,” she said. “So, if herhusband dies, the property goesto the brother, and for her to getaccess to the land, she mustmarry the brother.”

Ochieng also said she wasfrustrated by the lack of controlwomen have over their person-al decisions.

“Why should I be told to pro-duce 11 children when I onlywanted to have two children?”she said.

Kamuntu said theDemocratic Republic of theCongo has the highest rate ofsexual violence against women in the world. She also said United Nations peace-keepers often stand by whenwomen are raped, since theyare only there to observe thepost-conflict situation and not to intervene.

“Someone should ask theseU.N. peacekeepers what theywould do if they see a womanbeing raped a few feet away fromthem if they were not in uniform,”said Abena Busia, chair of theDepartment of Women andGender Studies.

Kamuntu said the Universitycould help advance her work by ana-lyzing how the money spent onhuman rights work correlates withresults, while Ochieng said academ-ics can help by analyzing personalnarratives in economic terms.

have to learn,” she said. “Theyalready know how to use it.”

She said the only differencebetween a Gmail account andScarletApps is the domain, mean-ing students log into theiraccounts directly through theUniversity rather than Google’swebsite. Advertisements will alsonot be visible on ScarletApps.

“It’s very similar [but] it’s sep-arate,” she said. “We’re running aGoogle Apps for Educationdomain. It’s a whole different setof storage and space but it’s pret-ty much exactly the same withoutany advertising.”

Even though many studentsuse Gmail and the other servicesoffered by Google, Sean Barbieri,a School of Environmental AndBiological Sciences first-year stu-dent, said he does not use Googleand is unfamiliar with the site.

“I don’t think highly of the idea,”he said. “I am not really a big fan ofGmail, I think it is very confusing.”

Since Google Apps can seemcomplicated to non-users,Barbieri said the switch will ini-tially cause problems for stu-dents, but they will alleviate overtime as those students adjust.

“Maybe it will be more benefi-cial in the long run as it willbecome more mainstream but Ithink right now it will cause a lotof confusion,” he said. “I don’treally see the need for it.”

Dariusz Augustynowicz, aRutgers School of Business senior,said as a Google user, he looks for-ward to the University’s transition.

“I personally like it. I alreadyhave my stuff in the Gmail sys-tem,” he said. “It will probably beeasier to integrate and be simplerfor most people.”

Augustynowicz said the Edensystem is problematic and confus-ing. He has an Eden account setup but his mail is forwardeddirectly to his Gmail account.

“Well, it was kind of complicat-ed. It wasn’t as bad as otherschools that I’ve seen but I’d

rather just use what I alreadyhave,” he said.

The University made the tran-sition possible by signing a seven-year contract with Google, whichprovides the service for no cost.The only expenses the Universitywill manage are the staff andteam used to ensure the servicesrun effectively, Budnovitch said.

“Of course there are adminis-trative costs that go with that. Wedo have to have the staff to imple-ment [and] support it. … [We]are just able to provide a greatservice to the Rutgers communi-ty than we have before,” she said.

Eden has the capacity to providethe same services as ScarletApps,but adding these features would bemore costly, she said.

“It would take much longerand be much more expensive ifwe decided to develop some-thing like that in-house,”Budnovitch said.“[ScarletApps] is being offeredfor free to universities so this issomething we jumped on … anddecided we needed to dobecause the ser vices are really tremendous.”

She said the transitioningprocess would be completedonce the current email systemis turned of f and decommis-sioned. Although the email por-tion is being turned off, otherser vices provided by theUniversity’s Eden program willstill function, since studentsand faculty use the services forsome of their courses.

“Right now if you go throughthe account creation process, youcan still create accounts on thosesystems in addition to theScarletApps account,” she said.So right now there is a choice …but in the near future ScarletAppswill be the only option for stu-dents’ email services.”

She said the University wants totest the service’s success with stu-dents before it extends the further.

“There are no plans toreplace faculty and staf f emailwith ScarletApps … At thispoint we’re going with the stu-dents, seeing how that goes,”she said. “I can’t say that itwouldn’t be a possibility for theteacher but at this point … ourgoal is mainly just to replacestudent email.”

“Although the public is notour target audience, [I believe]there is real value in the publicunderstanding the risk and vul-nerability [associated with sealevel rise and flooding hazards],”Auermuller said.

The National Oceanic andAtmospheric Administration’sCooperative Institute for Coastaland Estuarine EnvironmentalTechnology and SustainableJersey funded the project, amongothers, Lathrop said.

Together with the NationalOceanic AtmosphericAdministration’s Coastal ServiceCenter, Lathrop and his partnersdesigned the site with their tar-get audiences in mind,Auermuller said.

His foundation, Grant F.Walton Center for RemoteSensing and Spatial Analysis,focuses on geographic informa-tion systems.

“When it comes to GIS … [Lathrop] is a valuable [spe-cialist],” said Martha Maxwell-Doyle, project coordinator at theBarnegat Bay Partnership.

The project was a long-termplanning ef fort and a startingpoint for the application of thisparticular technology, Lathropsaid. His initial expectations for

this project have been met, andwhat remains to be seen is howthe website is used.

The site will serve as a plat-form for further information tobe added. Although interestedin adding more functionalityand data, Lathrop said theywould like to keep it simple,but still adapt it to meet every-one’s needs.

Auermuller, who has workedat the Jacques CousteauNational Estuarine ResearchReserve for 11 years, said theproject took as long as it did fora few reasons.

Before project developmentcould begin, the team ofresearchers needed to wait forthe U.S. Geological Survey toissue a dataset, she said.

Without this data, it wouldnot be possible to accuratelypredict where and how waterwould travel above New Jersey’s topography, said Auermuller.

The team then created web-site prototypes during the devel-opment process, she said, andhad expected customers test theprototype versions for user-friendliness in classrooms in aprocess they referred to as“quester testing”.

“We worked with focusgroups to be able to see howpeople interact with the tech-nology we created … it’srefreshing,” Lathrop said. “Itgives me a better understand-ing of people’s insight andunderstanding of maps, and theexcitement they get.”

Auermuller said she plannedand managed discussions withmunicipal and county-level of fi-cials, town workers and plan-ning boards to collect and implement their opinions.

“Looking back at what hap-pened during Hurricane Sandy,the community’s realized thatyou cannot be over-prepared,”said Auermuller.

Lathrop said nothing couldreplace this focus-group inputbecause the feedback offeredsolutions on how to display datain a fashion that makes sense to users.

How to share this essentialinformation with those respon-sible for making decisions such

as emergency evacuations,green-conscious building andrebuilding plans is another pri-mar y goal of this project, said Lathrop.

“The [New Jersey] coast is aver y dynamic environment,”said Lathrop. “Long-term sus-tainability of human residence,as well as environmental infrastructure of the New Jersey coast [are also key objectives].”

Maxwell-Doyle said her’sand Auermuller’s area of studyoverlap, and they worked close-ly together on the technicalside of this sea-level mapperwebsite as well as on other proj-ects including climate adaption tools.

She said the website issophisticated, but easy to useand an excellent resource withmany applications.

Because local mitigation plansmust be updated and resubmittedto the Federal EmergencyManagement Agency for approvalevery five years, the goal of thewebsite is helping communitydecision-makers, she said.

Auermuller said her experi-ence working with the communi-ty was rewarding. She learnedabout the needs of the communi-ty and working with the projectteam to design a helpful website.

“It’s been a long time coming,but [it’s been an] importantprocess and I’m glad it’s live,”she said.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

VATICAN CITY — Inunadorned white robes, the firstpope from the Americas sets atone of simplicity and pastoralhumility in a church desperate tomove past the tarnished era ofabuse scandals and internalVatican upheavals.

The choice of ArgentineCardinal Jorge Bergoglio — whotook the name Francis — reflect-ed a series of history-makingdecisions by fellow cardinals whoseemed determined to offer amessage of renewal to a churchunder pressures on many fronts.

The 76-year-old archbishop ofBuenos Aries — the first fromLatin America and the first fromthe Jesuit order — bowed to thecrowds in St. Peter’s Square andasked for their blessing in a hintof the austere style he cultivatedwhile modernizing theArgentina’s conservativeCatholic church.

In taking the name Francis, hedrew connections to the 13th cen-tury St. Francis of Assisi, whosaw his calling as trying torebuild the church in a time ofturmoil. It also evokes images ofFrancis Xavier, one of the 16thcentury founders of the Jesuitorder that is known for its schol-arship and outreach.

Francis, the son of middle-class Italian immigrants, isknown as a humble man whodenied himself the luxuries thatprevious Buenos Aires cardinalsenjoyed. He came close tobecoming pope last time, report-edly gaining the second-highestvote total in several rounds of vot-ing before he bowed out of therunning in the conclave thatelected Pope Benedict XVI.

Groups of supporters wavedArgentine flags in St. Peter’sSquare as Francis, wearing sim-ple white robes, made his firstpublic appearance as pope.

IN BRIEFMAN PLEADS GUILTY TO

MURDER OF COUPLEMAYS LANDING, N.J. — A

southern New Jersey man hasadmitted that he fatally shot aman and wounded a woman dur-ing a carjacking inside an AtlanticCity casino parking garage.

Phillip Byrd of Camden plead-ed guilty Wednesday to felonymurder in a plea deal withAtlantic County prosecutors.They will recommend that hereceive a 47-year prison termwhen he’s sentenced June 7.

Byrd and two other Camdenmen were accused of robbing 28-year-old Sunil Rattu and 24-year-old Radha Ghetia in September2011. They were forced to drivefrom the Trump Taj Mahal park-ing garage to an alley, where theywere shot.

Rattu died from two gunshotwounds to the head, whileGhetia survived two shots in theupper body.

Another defendant has plead-ed guilty, while the third is due incourt Thursday.

CONVICTED MAYOR LOSESBID FOR CLEAN SLATE

NEWARK, N.J. — One ofthree New Jersey mayors arrest-ed in 2009’s large-scale federalcorruption sting has lost a bid tohave his corruption convictionthrown out.

Former Secaucus MayorDennis Elwell was sentenced to30 months in prison last April foraccepting a bribe from a govern-ment informant in a cash-for-influence scheme.

Wednesday’s ruling by the3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appealsaffirmed his conviction.

Elwell was among 46 peoplearrested in the sting, includingtwo other mayors — PeterCammarano III of Hobokenand Anthony Suarez ofRidgefield. Cammarano plead-ed guilty and served two years,while Suarez was acquitted ofextortion and bribery by a juryin 2010.

About three-quarters of thedefendants pleaded guilty orwere convicted. Two defendants’cases are pending.

SENATOR LAUTENBERG WILLNOT SEEK RE-ELECTIONWASHINGTON, D.C. — Sen.

Frank Lautenberg, the nation’soldest senator at 89, has beensidelined in New Jersey with painand weakness in his legs.

Lautenberg spokesman CaleyGray said Wednesday that thesenator’s doctor has advised himnot to travel. The Democrat hasmissed several votes in theSenate this week and last.

Gray said the senator wasworking to rebuild strength inhis legs.

Lautenberg was sick with theflu in late December and earlyJanuary. He missed several votesrelated to a $60 billion relief pack-age for Superstorm Sandy.

Lautenberg announced lastmonth he would retire next yearand not seek re-election.

College of Cardinals select new popeabout 40 percent of the world’sRoman Catholics.

Bergoglio often rode the busto work, cooked his own mealsand regularly visited the slumsthat ring Argentina’s capital. Heconsiders social outreach, ratherthan doctrinal battles, to be theessential business of the church.

He accused fellow churchleaders of hypocrisy and forget-ting that Jesus Christ bathed lep-ers and ate with prostitutes.

“Jesus teaches us anotherway: Go out. Go out and shareyour testimony. Go out and inter-act with your brothers. Go outand share. Go out and ask.Become the Word in body as wellas spirit,” Bergoglio toldArgentina’s priests last year.

Bergoglio’s legacy as cardinalincludes his efforts to repair thereputation of a church that lostmany followers by failing to open-ly challenge Argentina’s murder-ous 1976-83 dictatorship. He alsoworked to recover the church’straditional political influence insociety, but his outspoken criti-cism of President CristinaKirchner couldn’t stop her fromimposing socially liberal meas-ures that are anathema to thechurch, from gay marriage andadoption to free contraceptivesfor all.

“In our ecclesiastical region,there are priests who don’t bap-tize the children of single moth-ers because they weren’t con-ceived in the sanctity of mar-riage,” Bergoglio told his priests.“These are today’s hypocrites.Those who clericalize theChurch. Those who separate thepeople of God from salvation. Andthis poor girl who, rather thanreturning the child to sender, hadthe courage to carry it into theworld, must wander from parishto parish so that it’s baptized!”

This sort of pastoral work,aimed at capturing more soulsand building the flock, is anessential skill for any religiousleader in the modern era, saidBergoglio’s authorized biogra-pher, Sergio Rubin.

pare the students themselves. Students are entitled toreceive education by their school on how they can protecttheir lives in the case of a potential crisis. Elementaryschools hold lockdown drills for a similar purpose, in whichstudents practice reacting to a threat. They are informed ofthe best place to hide in their classroom, how to react calm-ly and quickly — often being timed — and are given nec-essary safety guidelines about how to get help fast to avoidendangering themselves or their peers further.

It took a Google search to discover that the Universityhas “Active Shooter Resources” on its Rutgers University

Police Department site with guide-lines about how to deal with the situ-ation — but how many Universitystudents even know this page exists?How many have actually read it? Andhow would text on a webpage pro-vide the necessary preparation forsuch a dangerous and critical real-life situation?

While University residence hallsmay have safety plans, no mandato-ry program exists that would inform

students about them. It is especially frightening that thereare no developed procedures on what to do if someonewere to open fire in the building. It would be extremelyplausible to create effective lockdown plans tailored to eachbuilding and to hold mandatory building or floor meetingsto inform students about them. It would not be a bad ideato carry out simulation drills as well.

It is obvious that our University lacks a viable and suffi-cient plan of action in dealing with shooters. We can’tignore that the country’s deadliest school massacre inrecent history was at a university, Virginia Tech University.With last year’s Sandy Hook shooting, the concern aboutschool massacres is increasing again — and we don’t wantto wait for a tragedy for our University to realize it needs torevisit its safety precautions and make them the best it pos-sibly can. Protecting the lives of our students deservesevery effort.

“active killer” simulations on campus, according toNJ.com. The simulations are intended to provide real-lifepractice on how to deal with live fire on school grounds.The activity is quite impressive and should be undertakenby the University as well.

With officers, innocent bystanders and even a fakekiller, the practice sets the scene as realistically as possible,with people committing to their parts in the setup. Theguns are filled with soap bullets thatappear red when they are shot at atarget. The officers pretend thatthey are responding to a real shoot-ing being carried out as accuratelyas possible — even down to the dis-traction of people screaming andshouting for help.

State officers carry out thesesimulations to train both TCNJ cam-pus officers and Mercer Countysheriff’s police. The practice thatwas carried out on March 12 was the first time theyworked together in how to address the dangerous sce-nario, according to NJ.com. All N.J. officers are required toparticipate in the training — as well as TCNJ officers in thiscase — who intend to prepare them in the case of a massshooting in public places.

It is surprising that our University does not host thesame type of activities on our campus. As a much largerschool than TCNJ, our circumstances necessitate ade-quate attention to the various possible situations that mightarise on different campuses and in different buildings.University police, at the very least, should be required togo through active-shooter training — especially with stateand county police — in order to know how to work witheach other as efficiently as possible.

Not only should our University hold similar practice forofficers, but it should also take one step further and pre-

TCNJ active-shooter efforts admirableUniversity must take necessary precautions as well

“It is surprising that ourUniversity does not host the

same type of activities onour campus ... Our

circumstances necessitateadequate attention.”

What you may not realize is that thereare those of us that exist with naturallysmaller body types than the average as well.Not only do I have a petite figure, I find itextraordinarily difficult to gain weight. Sowhen I hear words like, “God, being skinnyis so disgusting. I’d never be like those mod-els” or “Curvy is the new sexy,” it honestlymakes me feel terrible about myself.

Why can’t all body types be acceptedfor how they are? Why must we sway oneway or another? Forthose girls that havean abnormally highmetabolism or thosewith Selective EatingDisorder or evenjust the factor of sim-ply being naturallythin — life is just as difficult for some ofthem as it is for those who find it difficultto lose weight.

The fact is, there is no “normal” stan-dard for body types. A person can be tall,short, large, small, curvy or any mixture ofthose. There’s no reason to protect onlyone body type that’s targeted.

Instead, I propose to celebrate everysingle body type that exists. Women who

look up to the ideals shown in magazinesreally shouldn’t in the first place — but thatshould apply to them regardless ofwhether they themselves are “large,”“small” or whatever else.

Of course, it’s extremely difficult — giventhat the media tends to portray only one spe-cific body type and then glamorizes it to noend. The campaign against it, however,shouldn’t be “Don’t be skinny like those girlsthat look like they’re suffering from eating

disorders. Be curvyand sexy instead.”

It should be“Don’t try to changeyourself on the basisof what is beingshown to you, regard-less of whether maga-

zines are advertising methods to loseweight or to gain it.”

Now, you might be asking, “When havethere ever been ads to gain weight?”

You might be surprised to know, that asmuch as our culture today idealizes weightloss, a few decades ago, the very same cul-ture shunned it.

According to the Huffington Post, sever-al ads from the 1930s to the 1950s tout

scientific ways to “add attractive pounds andinches,” and “add glamorous curves to yourfigure.” And they weren’t about health: theads make it clear that being skinny or slen-der was the least attractive look.

The challenge then is not to stop younggirls from binging or starving themselvesby showing them only ads with plus sizedwomen. The challenge is to integrate morethan just one body type — and not focus onthat singular one, while negating the rest.

This is not to say that many have notalready spoken up about the issue. I’m mere-ly bringing this viewpoint to light, since thetrend of standing up against fat shaming canalso involve polarizing that body type to pos-itivity in ways that involve isolation for therest of us.

So yes — There isn’t anything wrongwith being curvy. Curvy may very well besexy. But there’s nothing wrong withbeing naturally skinny, or anything inbetween either.

Becoming a better writer isn’t reducibleto “five easy tips” or any short-term solu-tion. Like getting in shape, it’s a prolongedeffort that you have to work on every dayand to some extent make lifestyle changes.

If I were to look at my growth as a writer,it started in the 10th grade when I wanted tostop being a crappy writer — seven years ofwork so far and goingstrong.

It starts withreading good writ-ing. Your writing willresemble what youread in the same waythat you will speaklike the people youhang out with. Hangaround professors allday, and you’ll start to speak like a profes-sor. Hang around toddlers, and you’ll startto drool.

Next, you need to read good writing— Buzzfeed and TotalFratMove.com donot constitute as good writing. The NewYork Times and The Wall Street Journalare good places to start. The articles areshort, and they cover a lot of dif ferent

topics, so I was bound to be interested insomething. I know this is heresy, butyou should read books in your sparetime — swear to God, I’m not joking.When you watch that same episode ofSouth Park for the ninth time, it’s nothelping you become a better writer.

Next, you must learn grammar. I knowit’s tedious, but youjust have to do it.Start with what youdon’t know how touse. I’ll confess, I didnot know how to usea comma when I wasin high school. I did-n’t master the semi-colon until sopho-more year of college.

I still make grammar mistakes all the time,and it’s completely normal.

The last thing you have to do is practice.You have to write and hone your craft. Thereare no shortcuts to running a marathon. Atsome point, you just need to run a lot, overand over again. It is no different than writ-ing. Just keep writing — write blogs, writeletters to your local newspaper, write to your

boss about ways to improve your company,to Congress to improve your country. Justwrite, and you will get better over time. I promise.

But Ben, who cares? Well, if writing wellis so irrelevant, write a letter to the editordetailing why it isn’t important.

See what I did there? Writing is critical in the business world,

where emails and business proposals areyour main tool as of communication. In thesciences, you will write proposals and haveto explain to different audiences theresults of your research. I know it’s cheesy,but being able to write and voice your con-cerns is part of being a good citizen.

I want you to be a better writer becauseI think you have valuable things to say. Youknow you have ideas worth hearing, so getstarted. Overcoming inertia is the hardestpart of becoming a better writer, and Ihope you do. I’d love to see you write aboutyour experience.

“I know this is heresy,but you should readbooks in your spare

time — swear to God,I’m not joking.”

O h my god, why are you so skinny?Listen, you don’t have to suc-cumb to what magazines and the

media portray. It’s really bad — you shouldgain some weight. There’s nothing wrongwith being curvy.”

I’ve been hearing words like these myentire life. There has been a popular trendgoing around to combat fat shaming and bodyshaming, particularly targeting the modelsshown on television or in magazines. And forthe most part, they’re meant to eradicate neg-ative stereotypes on those that have bodyshapes that are generally larger than the stick-thin figures seen posing on those covers.

It’s fantastic to see that there are peoplestanding up for the Photoshopped andincredibly unrealistically thin women onmagazines and the type of message theysend to young girls.

It’s only when that trend tends to turn onthe rest that the situation becomes upsetting.

Body shaming goes both ways

“The fact is, there is no‘normal’ standard for

body types.”

W hile I was browsing theInternet this morning, a pop-upon my Facebook page

informed me that my privacy settings werenot very high. So, while I looked for a wayto adjust them, I found this little icon in thatcorner that read Privacy Settings. I was justabout to click it when I suddenly stoppedand chuckled. I thought to myself: Is it real-ly worthwhile, setting privacy on a socialnetworking site? Isn’t it almost ironic?

Social networking sites are hubs of friends,activities, interests, families, relationships,states of mind, pictures, careers and almost

COMMENTARYVAISHALI GAUBA

everything we can imagine. And after thisceaseless list, if you think there room for pri-vacy, then you may be living in a different era.

To begin with, the meaning of the wordprivacy is highly underrated. Privacy is nota state of not being disturbed by your par-ents. Rather, it is a state of being free frompublic attention. Thus, telling your mom togive you some privacy while you are post-ing your relationship status for thousandsof others to see is certainly not a very goodexample of protecting your privacy. It’sactually sad that something that you can-not share with someone as close as a fami-ly member is just a click away for a bunchof acquaintances and even strangers.

This brings me to my second point — the different categories of friendswithin the many who could be a part of your

social network. They could be your veryclose friends who you trust, casual acquain-tances or complete strangers. The fact ofthe matter is, regardless of the category, allof these friends have access to all your so-called private stuff on these social network-ing sites. Especially if you are an individualin the public domain, any of your interestscan be used as a weapon against you,whether it is your interest in women withbig booties or your open prejudice against aparticular group.

And finally, looking from a different per-spective, even though sometimes we letothers invade our privacy, at other timeswe are dragged into it. Thanks to advertis-ing, even other independent websitesrequire logins via social networking sites.If the world knows where you are and

whom you are with, it also knows whicharticles you read, which songs you listento, what books are you buy, etc.

At this point, one might feel helpless —and it is definitely natural to feel that waysince social networking is here to stay. Butdon’t let social networking become the oneentity that knows everything about you.You can very legitimately demand privacyfrom a social network in the same way youdemand privacy from people. So don’t bean open book, maintain your space anddon’t be too quick to post pictures. Whoknows — the social network might clashwith your professional network, too.

Six-seeded Notre Dame led byas many as 16 in the first half.Rutgers head coach Mike Riceswitched to a 2-3 zone with eightminutes left in the half, but NotreDame found its holes.

The Irish scored as easily in amethodical halfcourt approach asthey did in transition, and it wasapparent the Knights’ luster hadworn off after so long.

“I just questioned theirheart,” Rice said. “Questionedtheir pride. Austin spoke up. Andthey responded.”

The Knights appeared visiblyout of sync in the first half in theirhalfcourt offense.

Their haste fed Notre Dame’spatient defense, all too comfort-able with making its second-roundmatchup a slow-paced affair.

“We fell right into it,” Rice said.“We were lackadaisical. We allowedthem to dictate it in the first half.”

Rice remains optimistic forthe program’s future, and he hasan argument with nine returningscholarship players.

But a watered-down Big East— rightfully or not — will rampup expectations.

Notre Dame, Pittsburgh andSyracuse depart for the AtlanticCoast Conference, leaving onlylegacy and a handful ofConference USA transplants intheir wake. Gone are the deliber-ate, structured defenses thathave given Rutgers fits.

Gone is Madison SquareGarden, the temple to some ofthe league’s best athletes.

ABOUT USThe Daily Targum is a

student-written and student-managed not-for-profit,

incorporated newspaper published by Targum Publishing

Company with a circulation of 18,000 on Mondays through

Thursdays, and 15,500 on Fridays. It is published in New

Brunswick, NJ while classes are in session during the fall and

spring semesters.

Founded in 1869, it is the second oldest college newspaper in the

country. The Daily Targum has been a repeat recipient of the

Columbia Scholastic Press Association Gold Crown Award as well as a General Excellence

award winner of the New Jersey Press Association.

WHAT IS A REFERENDUM?A referendum is the process of voting on a measure or statute (in the Targum's case, the reaffirmation of the refundable fee on the student's term bill). It is a procedure undertaken every three years to allow for funding for educationally valuable student sponsored programs and organizations.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT THAT YOU VOTE?Since the Targum is an independent, student-run, incorporated newspaper, funding for the operation, delivery, production, and printing is necessary because Targum does not receive money from any other means within the University. (This means Targum does not request any funds from government associations, university groups, departments, etc.) This keeps the editorial content independent from the sway of views and opinions of various groups, and free from content control from various influences. The Daily Targum has been independent since 1980. The funding we receive from student term bills allows us to keep our doors open and continue to produce a paper.

Without the continued support from students The Daily Targum would not be able to cover the news, sports, events and entertainment we bring to you each day. So get to the polls and give us feedback, whether positive or negative. It's important that your voice is heard.

WHY IS THERE A REFERENDUM THIS YEAR?The referendum for the Targum is conducted every three years on the Rutgers campuses. The last Targum referendum was held in 2010.

HOW DOES THE PROCESS WORK?At least 25 percent of the eligible voters (undergraduate students that will be returning next term), plus one individual within the school must vote yes for the implementation of the fee on the term bill.

WHEN WILL THE POLLS OPEN?The polls will open April 8, 2013 and close on April 19, 2013.

“It’s really important, espe-cially when it’s a high-pressuregame, and they’re really tryingto keep the pace of play going,”Brand-Sias said of the earlygoals. “You want to make sureyou have that cushion, so youhave room for any mistakes thatyou make.”

With the victory, the Knightshave a chance to enter Big Eastaction with only one loss.

Rutgers has one game in outof conference play remainingwhen it plays Tuesday againstPrinceton Brand-Sias empha-sized the importance of gettingthe wins out of conference.

“Obviously we always want totake care of conference, but wedon’t have conference to thinkabout yet,” Brand-Sias said. “Wewant to make sure we take careof our region and getting as manywins as we possibly can.”

takes one team to really like youand you can maybe go a littlehigher than people anticipated.”

Greene contemplated enteringthe draft last season, his fourth atRutgers and fifth since highschool — he spent a prep seasonat Avon Old Farms (Conn.). Hesays he reads mock drafts, butnever pays too much attention.

“Personally I think I’m a first-round-caliber guy or early secondround,” Greene said. “But you neverknow when it comes to April.”

The same uncertainty lingersfor Logan Ryan, who decided toforgo his senior season.

Ryan, a 2012 All-Big East FirstTeam cornerback, opted not torun the 40-yard dash after post-ing a time of 4.56 in February’sNFL Combine in Indianapolis.

“I’m a football player,” Ryansaid. “I’ve been doing it the lasttwo months. I’m focusing on being

a better football player and tryingto make an impact as a rookie andgetting drafted high, not puttingmy hand in the ground and goingthrough track practice.”

“That was the greatest thing Iever decided to do,” Ryan said. “Alot of pro guys train there [and]come in two or three times aweek. He’s there five to seventimes a week.”

BY GREG JOHNSONCORRESPONDENT

An air of focused tension andsupreme confidence consumesthe Livingston Recreation Centerthese days.

At the site of the Rutgers gym-nastics team’s weekday morningpractices, it is hard to find aScarlet Knight dead set on any-thing other than earning the pro-gram its first trip to the NCAARegionals since 2007.

It is an unspoken mindset inwhich the Knights stay withinthemselves, not wanting to press.

“Everyone’s in a good mindframe. We probably won’t eventalk about it,” said head coachLouis Levine. “They know whatthey need to get done. As long asthey keep doing their job, I thinkwe’ll be fine.”

After Friday’s school-recordroad score of 195.550 at Towson,the Knights rank 37th nationallywith a Regional Qualifying Scoreof 194.685. Iowa State barelyclings to the 36th and final spotfor regionals at 194.855, with onlytwo qualifying meets left.

Week after week in the secondhalf of the season, Rutgers hasinched closer to its elusive goal inthe national rankings.

Time is growing thin, but theKnights sense they have nearlybroken the threshold.

“I think we’re all reallypumped. We see how close weare to our goals,” said junior co-captain Alexis Gunzelman. “I

BY GREG JOHNSONCORRESPONDENT

Tomorrow marks the Rutgerssoftball team’s final tournamenttune-up before the start of BigEast play.

The Scarlet Knights head toClearwater, Fla., where theyplay three doubleheadersthrough Sunday. It starts withOklahoma State (13-12) andBoston University (6-9), fol-lowed by Iowa State (10-10) andMaine (1-22), then finallyBoston College (4-11) andFlorida A&M (5-15).

After a frustrating seriesthis past weekend in California— where the Knights blewleads in four of the five gamesto finish 1-4 — Rutgers (7-8)wants to get back to playingconfidently and with a chip onits shoulder.

In order for that to happen,head coach Jay Nelson notesthe team must implementsmarter, morea g g r e s s i v ebaserunning itemphasized thisweek in practice.

Small, funda-mental mistakeskept the Knightsfrom generatingvital runs —detrimental for ateam that reliesheavily on effec-tive small ball.

“We had two situations lastweek where we should’vescored a run that we didn’tscore,” Nelson said, “becauseour baserunners held up whenthey should’ve gone. Fieldersgot in their way and they backedup instead of taking the jump offthe base where they wouldavoid that.”

Nelson said the team mayalso try to steal a few morebases as well as implement thehit-and-run.

The goal is to advance asmany runners into scoring posi-tion as possible, limiting the needfor extra-base or several consecu-tive hits.

“We’ve been working on a loton ways to manufacture runs —other than just hitting the balland base hit after base hit,” saidsenior shortstop Ashley Bragg.“Sometimes with difficult pitch-ing it gets harder and harder tostring hits together throughoutthe lineup.”

SOFTBALL

Knights focus onmanufacturing runs

But Rutgers must ultimatelyget on base for that to happen.

In the team’s four losses inCalifornia, they averaged onlytwo walks and four hits a game.

Nelson wants to see theKnights show more discipline atthe plate, lay off high pitchesand get back to attacking earlyin the count as they did March 1-3 in Virginia.

“We’ve been working on thehard-and-in pitch and up in thestrike zone — trying to workon staying off the pitch that’sjust a little bit too high,”Nelson said.

That weakness was revealedto Rutgers in its latest contestSunday against Nevada, when itsoffense was shut out this seasonfor only the second time.Righthander Karlyn Jonesbrought a high-heat repertoirethe Knights had yet to see.

Rutgers has developed its owntalent to complement sophomoreace lefthander Alyssa Landrith.

F r e s h m a nr i g h t h a n d e rDresden Maddoxstruggled a bitwith control earlyon, but is now hit-ting her stride andplaying a pivotalrole at the back-end of theKnights’ rotation.

“From the firsttime I’ve had astart [on Feb. 16],

I’ve been building on each gameand improving each game,”Maddox said. “I’m starting to feelreally comfortable out thereagain with my teammates.They’re great — they’re a greatdefense behind me.”

Nelson believes the team’s 15games so far before its Big Eastopener March 23 have served asan essential assessment of smallholes in the Knights’ play.

For Rutgers, this weekendserves as its final dress rehears-al before its most importantgame action.

“When we make up the sched-ule, we like to play teams fromdifferent parts of the country,because they have differentphilosophies of playing,” Nelsonsaid. “You face a variety of teamsthat will expose your weaknessesbefore you get to conference.”

think everyone has it in them-selves that we are capable of thisand we’re going to get there.Everyone just is going to contin-ue to push.”

The push could reach a tip-ping point as soon as tomorrownight, when Rutgers faces No. 21West Virginia and Maryland inMorgantown, West Va.

The matchup is a rematch ofthe Feb. 17 meet with theMountaineers and Terrapins inMaryland, when the Knightsbroke a 195 on the road for thefirst time in history.

Though Rutgers finished inlast, Gunzelman believes theteam’s high-level performancetook the two national powersby surprise.

The Knights were happy to becompetitive back then, but nowinsist they have the mental make-up to seize a win.

“The last time we saw them,they were shocked that we hadscored a 195,” Gunzelman said.“Coming off the past few meetsthat we’ve had, I think that we’regoing to be able to top the scorethat we had when we first sawthem – and I think that’s goingto put an even bigger shock totheir faces.”

Regardless of how its oppo-nents per form, Rutgers willlikely leap into the top 36 sim-ply with another 195 perform-ance. On the other hand, anyslight hiccup could hand theKnights a crucial setback inthe standings.

Navigating the tightrope willdepend on each individual believ-ing their skills at this point,Gunzelman said. If the Knightsproceed with the mindset of stillquestioning whether they will hita particular routine, the postsea-son will likely elude them.

Rutgers also knows it can stillperform better, refusing tobecome enamored with its his-toric accomplishments.

“At this past meet, we put upa great score, but we could’vedone better. We definitely hadmistakes,” said senior NicoleRomano. “As a team, bars defi-nitely could’ve been better. Wedidn’t have to count a fall, butwe did have a fall — and thenjust little mistakes like sticksand little form. If everyonepicks up a tenth, then it makes abig difference.”

With the end goal in sight,Rutgers has no interest in a dra-matic finish.

Levine thinks his team iscapable of finishing near the top30 and not simply sneaking intothe field.

“We have the advantage of acouple low scores to drop [inRQS]. … I think we’ll be in prettyeasily,” Levine said. “I think wehave the ability to move up prettyhigh — even into the lower 30s asopposed to just 36.”

Some of the differences theKnights will have to deal with arethe overall size of the track andthe weather conditions outdoors,as opposed to the comforts of thepractice bubble. These differ-ences should not be difficult forRutgers to adjust to.

The Knights are hoping to thestart the spring season with afresh mindset in order to achievetheir individual goals for the sea-

son. One specific goal they arelooking to accomplish is to get toa quicker start out of the gate.

“We are expecting to improveon our times, get faster and quali-fy for regionals with faster timesthan last season,” said sophomoreGabrielle Farquharson.

Rutgers has worked hard inpreparation for the upcomingspring season in hopes of goodoverall results. The practice field

has aided the Knights pushtoward achieving their goals.

“Practice has been tougherand faster for us going into thespring season.” Farquharson said.

One of the strengths for theKnights is in the 4x400 relay, asthe squad set a new school recordin the race during the winter sea-son at the ECAC Championships

“Of course at the end of the daywe are proud of that accomplishment

as a team,” Farquharson said. “Butwe have to stay motivated to achieveeven more during the spring.”

The new school record was astrong ending to the winter sea-son and Rutgers can use thisaccomplishment to motivate themfor a strong spring.

The Knights had a short restperiod after the ECACChampionships to heal any linger-ing injuries.

Des Moines, Iowa is a longway from New Jersey, butRutgers head wrestling ScottGoodale can not get out of hishome state soon enough.

“When you’re in a backyardfight, no one asks you whatyou’re surroundings are,”Goodale said. “We didn’t do agreat job last week, and I’m justhappy to get on the road and getthe heck out of here.”

Goodale did not like theScarlet Knight’s performancethis weekend in the EIWATournament, where they quali-fied five wrestlers.

But he received news yesterdaythat put him at ease when the cham-pionship bracket was announced.

Junior 133-pounder VincentDellefave and redshirt freshmanheavyweight Billy Smith receivedat-large selections, bringing thetotal number of grapplers travel-ing to Iowa to seven.

The at-large selections cameas a result of both unable to reg-ister qualifying finishes despitecompeting as the top seeds intheir respective weight classes.

Columbia’s No. 8 seed MattBystol knocked out Dellefave in thesecond round with an 11-4 decision,

Virginia, Winston sandwichedtwo missed matches because of ahamstring problem in betweenlosses to Navy and Penn State.

He lost in the second round ofthe EIWA Tournament toColumbia’s Jake O’Hara, forcinghim to claw his way into the fifth-place match.

With only five spots handedout for nationals at 157 pounds, he

needed a win against Cornell’sJesse Shanaman to secure his trip.

With a 2-0 decision againstShanaman now behind him,Winston has his last chance atbecoming what he wrote on theblackboard back in third grade —a national champion.

“It’s a new season. I’m in thenational tournament now,”Winston said after Sunday’s match-

es. “This is my main goal and I’mreally excited and really confidentto be honest because of the wayI’m wrestling.”

Goodale said a program isweighed on how many All-Americans it produces.

KNIGHT NOTEBOOK JUDGE STRUGGLES AGAINST IRISH FRONTCOURT

BY JOEY GREGORYCORRESPONDENT

NEW YORK — In the firstround of the Big EastTournament, the Rutgersmen’s basketball team had theluxury of playing a team thatdid not know its way aroundthe basket.

DePaul was statistically theworst rebounding team in the conference, pulling in

Irish control paint with deep inside presence

Senior forward Austin Johnson gets doubled-teamed last night against Notre Dame. Johnsonpicked up the production for junior forward Wally Judge, who scored two points. MICHAEL BOON

Tournament record for most fieldgoals without a miss. His 20 point,10 rebound performance was easi-ly his best game as a Knight.

The game was also his firstdouble-double since the Nov. 9season opener against St. Peters.

But against the Irish, not only didhe have to contend with the 6-foot-9,246-pound Cooley, but also 6-foot-10,258-pound forward Tom Knight.

And when Cooley and Knightneeded a breather, Notre Damehead coach Mike Brey couldbring 6-foot-10, 246-poundGarrick Sherman off the bench.

The competition inside quiet-ed Judge, whose performancewas a far cry from his careernight the previous game.

He ended with two points, onerebound and four fouls.

“In great post play, it’s a footbattle, and then you have to bethe one to create contact,” saidhead coach Mike Rice. “[Judge]just didn’t do that. He just letCooley and Knight … knock himoff balance, and he just didn’tshoot a balanced shot.”

While the Knights kept paceinside thanks to Johnson andsophomore forward KadeemJack — they scored 18 and 10points, respectively — it was nota clear-cut Rutgers advantage asit was the previous contest.

IN SEVERAL OF RUTGERS’regular-season losses, theKnights did not lose solely bytheir opponents’ star player.

Often times, it was the atten-tion paid to the most well-knownplayer that opened the door forhis teammate to step up.

Louisville’s Wayne Blacksheardropped 19 points against

an average of 3.9 less rebounds per game than its opponents.

But when the Scarlet Knightsmet their second round opponent— Notre Dame — the story wasvastly different.

The Fighting Irish, whoaverage 4.6 more rebounds pergame than their opponents,controlled the paint behind All-Big East First Team selectionJack Cooley.

The inside disruption keptRutgers at arm’s length in a 69-61Notre Dame win.

“Inside, [Notre Dame is] sophysical,” said senior forward AustinJohnson. “They get their hands upreally well, and they’re taught to notfoul and use their body.”

Junior forward Wally Judgewas the main beneficiary of theBlue Demons’ lack of size Tuesdaynight, as he went a perfect 9-for-9from the field — tying a Big East

Rutgers, while DePaul’s WorrelClahar scored 19 — nearly triplehis season average — in theteams’ Feb 16 meeting.

Against the Irish, a similarstory emerged.

In the second half, the Knightscommitted themselves to limitingNotre Dame’s inside scoring.

That left open spots aroundthe perimeter, and the Irishfound them.

“We have a team that can reallypass the ball, and we have guardsthat can find [shooters],” saidNotre Dame head coach MikeBrey. “We find the guy that’s open.”

The Irish took advantage, espe-cially guard Pat Connaughton.

Connaughton, who enteredthe game with a scoring averageof 8.4 points per game, just had towait on the 3-point line.

He ended the game a season-high 21 points on 7-for-10 shoot-ing, with all but one of his fieldgoals coming from beyond the arc.

“Pat has been a guy that we’vefound [for open shots] through-out the year,” Brey said. “I thinktonight he really cashed in on it.”

RUTGERS’ SEASON ISpotentially not over. The Knightsmay still accept a bid to a post-season tournament, a decisionRice has not yet made.

“Some of the secondary tour-naments have called and gaugedour interest,” Rice said. “Andthat’s something we’ll look at asa program.”

the first of many disappointmentsfor Goodale in the tournament.

Dellefave rallied to win fourstraight matches to place thirdoverall in his weight class, butonly the top two grapplers fromthe 133 pound weight class weresent to nationals.

Smith made it to the semifinalmatch against Navy’s DanielMiller, but lost by an 8-1 decisionand dropped his next two matchesto place sixth in his weight class.

Once outside looking in,now Dellefave and Smith willhave an opportunity to continuetheir season.

“They deserved it,” Goodalesaid. “The system is set up toreward wrestlers for what they doduring the whole year. I thoughDellefave had a great EIWATournament and Billy Smith hasbeen good all year wrong.”

Seniors 141-pounder TrevorMelde, 157-pounder ScottWinston, 174-pounder GregZannetti and 184-pounder DanRinaldi, along with sophomore165-pounder Nick Visicaro, willall also compete in the first round.

BY TYLER BARTOCORRESPONDENT

NEW YORK — Sitting with his shoul-ders slumped at the postgame podium,Austin Johnson tried to make sense of thelast 40 minutes.

After averaging 5.3 points per game thisseason, the senior forward scored a career-high 18 points last night in the second roundof the Big East Tournament. But despiteJohnson’s late brilliance, he watched as theRutgers men’s basketball team’s seasonended as unexpectedly in a 69-61 loss to No.24 Notre Dame.

Junior netsfive goals inhome win

BY IAN ERHARDSTAFF WRITER

The Rutgers women’s lacrosse teamdefeated Hofstra yesterday 13-6.

The Scarlet Knights (6-1) record theirfifth straight victory with goals from four dif-ferent players.

Junior attack Megan Clements sealed thegame with the final two goals for theKnights, extending

Rutgers’ lead to seven with four minutesremaining. Clements paced the Knights withfive goals in the game.

Clements received a cross-net pass fromsophomore attack Annie McGinley midwaythrough the second period for her third goalof the game.

The Knights took advantage of a briefgoalie change by Hofstra midway throughthe second period when junior midfielderKatrina Martinelli scored her secondstraight goal.

She received a pass from Clements frombehind the net on the previous possessionand was able to convert for a score.

The Knights opened up the second halfwith a goal from McGinley. She took a back-handed shot in front of the net as the ballpassed through the goalkeeper’s legs to giveRutgers a 9-4 lead.

She put together a two-goal game toincrease her season total to three.

Rutgers went into halftime with an 8-4 lead.

Most of the Knights’ offense came fromtheir ball movement. The team was often ableto find an open player close to Hofstra’s net.

“This was some of the most pressurethat we’ve seen from a defense,” said headcoach Laura Brand-Sias. “I was reallyproud of the fact that they were moving theball well.”

The Knights found a scoring opportu-nity with two minutes remaining in thefirst period.

Freshman attack Halley Barnes foundclassmate Chrissy Schreiber driving to thenet, but the shot went wide.

Rutgers maintained possession andMartinelli was able to score unassisted togive the Knights a four-goal lead.

Khaseem Greene could not resist running. Most expected the linebacker to sit out

the 40-yard dash yesterday at the Rutgersfootball team’s pro day, but Greene pursuedit anyway, running a 4.61, according toRutgers Athletics Communications.

“I just wanted to run,” Greene said insidethe Rutgers Practice Bubble. “I’m a competi-tor. Plus, everybody runs faster at pro day.”

Greene, arguably the Scarlet Knights’best chance as a first-round pick in April’sNFL Draft, said he weighed in at 241 poundsyesterday. He also acknowledged outsiders’concerns about his ability to put on weighttwo seasons removed from playing safety.

Greene said he could have run a 4.3 or 4.440-yard dash had he lined up at 225 pounds.

“I’m very comfortable with my weight,”he said. “It’s not like it’s a bad weight.Actually, I know it’s good weight. I know thatI’m fast. Running a fast 40 is nothing becauseI know my game speed is a lot faster.”

Greene, a two-time Big East DefensivePlayer of the Year, finished with 277 tacklesin his two seasons at linebacker. He said for-mer head coach Greg Schiano’s decision tomove him from safety was one of the mostimpactful moments of his career.

He found himself feet away from thenearest defender on an open 3-pointer fromthe baseline following a quick inbound play.Each time Connaughton touched the ball,the fans who remained at the tournament’snightcap took notice.

He and Notre Dame forward TomKnight accounted for nearly 57 percent ofthe Irish’s offense.

“If he’s open, it’s going down,” said soph-omore point guard Myles Mack ofConnaughton. “That’s what he is: a shooter.He knows his role. He doesn’t take any drib-bles. He knows how to get himself open.”

A 3-pointer from Mack with 1:48 leftclosed the Knights’ gap to 62-56, but hisnext field goal came with Rutgers trailing by12. After 40 minutes, their first-half deficitproved too much to overcome.

An outlet pass and emphatic dunk fromIrish (24-8, 11-7) guard Jerian Grant in theclosing moments made sure of it.
