Right or Left Brained? Stevens Alumnae Refuses to Choose
They say some people are left-brained and some people are right-brained, but LeTisha Shaw (B.E., 1999) is doing everything in her power to forge a career out of using both.
Shaw, an Old Bridge, N.J. native, is the perfect definition of a renaissance woman. As a child, one part of her loved tinkering and all things science related. She'd stare at the rides in amusement parks to try to figure out how they worked.
"Looking back, I always was interested in physics, but I didn't know that was the word for it at the time," said Shaw.
The other part loved sports and dancing. She was an excellent athlete who eventually became a three-sport star at Stevens – a captain of the University's first women's basketball teams, a captain of the women's soccer team, and track & field team member, where she specialized in the javelin. Today, she still plays competitive soccer and studies salsa dancing, which she was exposed to at Stevens.
"Sports were a way to ensure I could always exercise mentally and physically," Shaw said. "They brought balance to my life."
Initially, Shaw pushed back as engineering as a career. That's what her father did and she wanted to be different. But after being exposed to design problems during a summer program in high school, she decided engineering was the perfect choice someone so interested in how math and science applied to the real world.
At Stevens, Shaw – a Mechanical Engineering major – stayed true to her dual-nature and involved herself in a vast array of assorted activities. In addition to three seasons of athletics, she was involved in the Black Students Union, Gear & Triangle, Khoda, and the National Society of Women Engineers. She was a regular on Dean's List.
Shaw was a Stevens Exxon Scholar – a program in which Exxon grooms students to become potential managers and executives – so she also worked as a summer intern in various departments for Exxon, including research & design, mechanical engineering and utility systems.
"The design courses were the best because they helped me understand what engineers really do, and then my Exxon internships helped me figure out what kind of engineer I wanted to be," Shaw said.
At first, Shaw thought she wanted to design amusement park rides, or maybe athletics equipment. She thought a master's degree would help, so in 2001 she earned her M.S. in Mechanical Engineering as a GEM Fellow from Stanford, specializing in Biomechanics.
For the early part of career, Shaw searched around for a job that wouldn't make her choose between her right brain and her left brain; where she could be a problem solver and a creative thinker. That took her to numerous companies and industries – from ABC Sports, where she worked as a video effects operator, to Merck, where she worked in manufacturing, R&D, operations management and finance.
Ultimately, Shaw decided technology-related strategy and marketing was the perfect field for her, blending all of her skills and interests into a challenging role that requires use of the whole brain. She earned her MBA as a Consortium Fellow in 2009 from the University of Michigan, and soon landed at Walt Disney Studios, where she's worked on piracy management strategy for three years. As a senior manager, she is responsible for providing business intelligence to address piracy by analyzing the behaviors of consumers.
"It's a combination of the all the things I love – designing, analyzing and consulting in the media and technology space," Shaw said. "People don't realize how much marketing and strategy have to do in common with engineering. Many of the analytical, critical thinking and problems solving skills I use at work today were fundamentals I was taught in my engineering courses at Stevens."
She encourages current Stevens students to gain both technical and business acumen if they hope to distinguish themselves from others and achieve flexibility in their careers.
"Having both technical and business experience makes you well-rounded and allows you to understand your customer and speak their language, no matter who your customer is," she said. "The ability to do that is extremely powerful and makes a huge difference."
For a woman of so many talents, it's hard to imagine Shaw staying put for long. She says Disney is evolving so rapidly that it is a constant challenge – and since that's exactly aligned with what she wants, she plans to stay. But in the same breath, she speaks of becoming a life coach, a media strategist, or the owner of a business serving the needs of people with naturally curly-hair.
If she ever gets bored, Shaw has plenty on the side to keep her busy outside of her day job, whether its soccer, salsa dancing, volunteering with the church youth group, maintaining her blog on how to live a fulfilling life, or mentoring MBA students at Disney.
"I'm definitely someone who needs right and left brain activity to be fulfilled, probably like many Stevens students," she said. "I'm fortunate to have found career which fulfills that need, and I hope they do too."

If you have played the app Dead Man's Draw, then you know the addiction of the game. Captain Carcass is a new version of Dead Man's Draw with some new player powers. This is a push you luck card game that will frustrate and surprise you at different times during the game. On your turn you will be drawing cards with a number and symbol. You will perform the action of the symbol when they are drawn. The catch is that if you end up drawing two of the same symbol, you discard all the cards you drew. In the end, you want to be the person with the most points at the end of the game. I find this game to be very addicting and will be highly enjoyed by those who enjoy card games like Uno, Phase 10, and many other card games from standard decks of cards. For the quality and size of the game, you get plenty of fun for your money.

Xenoshyft Dreadmire is the latest standalone expansion for the Xenoshyft series. In the Xenoshyft series, you and the other players are defending your base against random enemies that will invade in waves. You will play troop cards in a line and equip them with armor and weapons to help fend off the wave of the attack. As you progress through the waves, you will buy new gear and new troops to defend against harder enemies. Xenoshyft Dreadmire adds all new troops and gear to fight new enemies. The big new element is different weather conditions that affect the enemies, your gear and your troops. Each element will affect the battlefield in a different way and there may even be more than one element happening at the same time. Dreadmire also improves on some of the randomness issues that took place in the first game. Boss enemies will not appear in waves 1,3,6. This allows the game to progress naturally and does not cause that huge boss to hurt you when you have no chance. If you are fan of the first one or have been curious about the series, I would recommend Xenoshyft Dreadmire. Dreadmire takes deck-building and tower defense to a level of extreme fun and challenge.

Prohis is a bluffing card game that takes place in the prohibition era. Each player is playing a Booze Baron trying to get your booze into the warehouse. During a turn a player will make a convoy of face down cards that will signify trucks trying to bring contraband into the warehouse. The other players will then decide to play officers to inspect one of the trucks. If they discover the contraband they get the loot. If they discover a card that is not contraband you get to move along and take their officer card. The goal is to have the most points in your warehouse at the end of the game. I found Prohis to be a smaller and more random Sheriff of Nottingham. Officer cards were too few and found that waiting out certain cards being played then delivering a big cargo when you are pretty sure the officers have already been played. Prohis will be enjoyable to those really enjoy bluffing games, but for me it missed the mark compared to similar style games.

Celestia is a remake of a game called Cloud 9. In Celestia you and the other players will be pushing your luck while traveling aboard an airship. Each island has a set of cards worth victory points that progressively get higher as you venture further out to different islands. Before traveling to the next island, the captain will roll dice based on what the next island tells you to roll and the dice will show blank or some symbol. Players must then guess if the captain has a card to discard with those symbols on them. If they do not think so, they can abandon ship and collect a treasure from that island. Otherwise they will stay on the ship and progress to the next island if the captain can discard the right cards or crash horrifically if the captain does not have the cards. Each player will get a chance to play the captain, and the player with the most points at the end wins the game. The art and components are beyond what you would expect for this type of game. Celestia plays quick and provides a good time to all who play. I tend to really enjoy push your luck games and Celestia does a good job of providing that entertainment.

Evolution: The Beginning is an family entry level game into the Evolution series. During a player's turn, they will create a new creature and play cards from their hand to evolve and expand the creatures they control. They must then be able to feed their animals by the grass food in the pond or by having the carnivore trait and eating other player's creatures. You will also want to play traits that protect your creature from other predators. At the end of the game players will count up all food tokens they have and all cards that are in their play area. The player with the highest total wins. Evolution: The Beginnings was very fun to play and did not take a long time. Everyone learned the game by the first turn and had different ways to try and win. Some may not enjoy the ability to have your creatures eaten, but hey that's life for you. I recommend picking this up if you have a family that is starting to get into gaming and want something different and unique.

I loved The Oregon Trail computer game when I was playing it in elementary school. Oregon Trail was one of those early class games that came on huge floppy discs that make us feel old when new generations bring it up. The goal in Oregon Trail the card game is similar to the computer game. You and your party are trying to brave the frontier and travel the west. On your way you will have things go your way and not your way in a very, very bad way. Snake bites, dysentery, and fording rivers await your journey. In Oregon Trail the card game, you rely on the luck of the cards and dice rolls to get you to the Oregon territories. This version is multiplayer compared to the solo play of the computer game. While it is fun to go on the journey with more people, when they die, they are bored for the rest of the game. Randomness and luck hurt what gameplay there is in the card game. This is a game to get only for nostalgia, but will not satisfy anything else.

Mystic Vale came out a few months ago delivering a new experience with the card crafting system. Now with Vale of Magic, AEG expands Mystic Vale by introducing when purchased effects and more uses for those guardian symbols. Vale of Magic adds just enough to keep the game fresh, but also very familiar. If you really enjoyed Mystic Vale, this will add more to what you already like. If you were not a fan of Mystic Vale, I do not think this will push you into liking the system. I love the familiar feel of the card crafting system to others like deck-building, and still sees regular play. The expansion adds that new freshness I was hoping for, but would like to see attacking of other players in future expansions. The art continues it's gorgeous landscapes and creatures, while not detracting from the gameplay. If you are a fan of the series, then I would recommend picking this up.

Kenjin is a card game with elements of bluffing and area control. Players will be playing 2 cards during their turn onto different battlefields. The goal is to have the highest strength in that battlefield at the end of the game and score the most points. You will be playing cards either face up or face down as directed and most cards have some type of effect that takes place when they are revealed or at the end of the game. You must out think your opponents and choose wisely where to put your cards so that you have battlefield superiority. I like the decision making that takes place during the game and trying to think 2 or 3 turns ahead and guess your opponents cards. Iello Games as usual brings outstanding art that makes the game standout. This is a game I enjoy playing, but wouldn't necessarily pick it myself. I still enjoy it enough that I wouldn't decline playing.

Update Febr. 17 - 09:18 UTC : A 63 year old woman in Isola Liri has died from a heart attack due to this earthquake. ER sends his condolences to her family. Er sees hearth attacks as secondary deaths as the damage of the earthquake cannot be held responsible as the cause.
Villages and towns within 10 km from the epicenter : ARPINO (FR), BROCCOSTELLA (FR), CASTELLIRI (FR), ISOLA DEL LIRI (FR), MONTE SAN GIOVANNI CAMPANO (FR), PESCOSOLIDO (FR), SORA (FR) and BALSORANO (AQ)
Villages and towns within 10 and 20 km from the epicenter : ALVITO (FR), ARCE (FR), BOVILLE ERNICA (FR), CAMPOLI , PPENNINO (FR), CASALATTICO (FR), CASALVIERI (FR), CEPRANO (FR), COLFELICE (FR), FONTANA LIRI (FR), FONTECHIARI (FR), POSTA FIBRENO (FR), RIPI (FR), ROCCA D'ARCE (FR), ROCCASECCA (FR), SANTOPADRE (FR), STRANGOLAGALLI (FR), TORRICE (FR), VEROLI (FR), VICALVI (FR), COLLELONGO (AQ), MORINO (AQ), SAN VINCENZO VALLE ROVETO (AQ) and
Italian tectonics are very complex and are mainly complicated subduction processes (subduction is also responsible for the Italian volcanoes). A very good scientific but easy to understand article can be found here.
Update 23:40 UTC : Luckily NO reports of serious damage, but the people in the greater epicenter area are really frightened. Some villages and towns have setup temporary shelters to allow people who are too frightened to sleep there. Others prefer to sleep in their cars.
Update 22:13 UTC : There have not been any reports of major damage as yet and only panic and minor non-structural damage has been seen as yet.
Update 22:00 UTC : This earthquake also caused similar concern from residents of Rome to that of 2009, with calls to emergency services despite no damage.
Update 21:58 UTC : The earthquake was even felt in l'Aquila. Our second map (at the bottom) shows that there were NO other earthquakes in this area since the beginning of 2012.
This earthquake is around the same place as the 1980 Irpinia earthquake causing major damage. This earthquake will normally only cause minor damage if any presumably.
In 1922 a M5.6 earthquake struck the Sora area and caused some damage too.
Update 21:51 UTC : A good sign is an experience report from a reader who said that the motion he felt was mostly vertical and not horizontal. Horizontal accelerations are the most damaging. A second good sign is that other readers tell us that the shaking lasted only a couple of seconds, long lasting shaking increases the chance on damage.
Update 21:48 UTC : A lot of people ran on the streets as they were frightened not only from the earthquake but also from the aftershocks
Update 21:40 UTC : The website from INGV Italy, the National Seismological agency is hard to enter because of the many people looking at them.
Region : Lazio (population 5,196,447) . The nearest places are Latina, Sora, Isola del Liri, Broccostella, Carnello, Cisterna, Vallefredda, and San Domenico. The maximum altitude nearby is 2689m .
Update 21:35 UTC : Our biggest concern are the old buildings in Sora. From Emilia Romagna, we know that these are very vulnerable for even moderate shaking. This earthquake can however NOT be compared with that earthquake as the intensity is a lot less.
Update 21:35 UTC : GDACS reports that at least 100,000 people are living within a radius of 10 km from the epicenter
Update 21:33 UTC : INGV Italia is reporting a Magnitude of 4.8 at a depth of 10.7 km
Update 21:32 UTC : Based on the current data, ER does not expect any serious damage from this earthquake
Update 21:31 UTC : the earthquake will certainly have been felt in Rome, as Rome is only at a distance of 90 km from the epicenter
Update 21:29 UTC : EMSC reports a Magnitude of 4.8 at a depth of 12 km.
Sora, very near the epicenter is a city with a population of 26,600 people
The preliminary Magnitude as reported by Geofon was M4.6
90 km E Rome (pop 2,563,241 ; local time 22:16:10.0 2013-02-16)
64 km NE Latina (pop 113,332 ; local time 22:16:10.0 2013-02-16)

(Since "khash" is our Royal Food/Թագաւորական Կերակուր, our "Royal Jelly" (see jelly below), it deserves a whole subject topic of its own).
Movses, are you the gloukh of thekhashgloukhs?
Who are your lieutenants?
No! No!
We know that you are the captain of the harissa/herisah brigade.
Then, who is the captain of the khash-banak/խաշբանակ??
Harut? Azat? Edward? Anahid?
Forget him.
He is in outer Mongolia gorging on the yak barbeque
Hey Sip! Do you know that as we speak Georgy Porgy is in Ulan Bator enjoying that legendary Mongolian Barbeque?
Then, who is the sokh/skhtor kloukh/սոխ/ սխտոր գլուխ?
Since there has been so much renewed interest about the subject I decided to give the all-Armenian national dish its own subject topic.
This subject has been discussed numerous times under a variety of subject. One may search an find many of them by simply using the keywords of khash, xash, ***** etc.
When I say the all-Armenian national dish it is not without reason as the Hanragitaran has seen it fit to devote whole monograph. A rarity as since very few other recipes find their way into the encyclopedia. Also note that the dish is attributed medicinal and curative value, not unlike the chicken soup of another culture.
It goes;
ԽԱՇ,կերակուր: Եփում են հիմնականում ձմռանը տավարի (երբեմն ոչխարի, խոզի) ոտ ու գլխի եւ փորոտիքի պիտանի մասերից: Ուտուն են մեծ մասամբ առավոտյան լավաշով ու սխտորով: Սոսնձանյութ պարունակելու պատճառով ժողովրդային բժշկության մէջ խորհուրդ է տրվում Խաշով սնել կոտրվատցք ունեցողներին: Հայաստանում գործուն են հասարակական խաշարաններ:
Translation: KHASH, kerakour(food). Basically, it is cooked in the winter, the feet , the head and sometimes the essential abdominal contents of cattle, sheep or pork. It is usually eaten in the morning with lavash and garlic. Its gelatinous (* note this) property is the reason for its popular medicinal claims(a panacea, an all curative). Many a sufferers of kotrtouk? ** are fed khash for this reason.
*When khash is let to cool it becomes jelly-like due to the gelatinous content of the feet, totiks.
**Do they mean kotrtouk as in arthritic joint pain or fractures?
And now to the more disgustingly popular designation of ***** or kelle *****known by western Armenians. One of the several synonyms of khash is otnagloukh/ոտնագլուխ. You will note that it means foot and head. In the Turkish, YES, TURKISH version it is reversed. So! What else is new? With kelle/head and *****/leg are head over heels Kelle to mean head, skull, cranium is Turkish, no arguments there, but when we come to *****, we are treading in shallow waters, so to speak. We know that the Turks have a word for leg/thigh-poech, which is nothing but the turkified version of the Armenian poch/պոչ/tail. You be the judge. We have another word for thigh , jiv mostly used by eastern west Armenians like the Khabertsis- JIV. It literally means leg/foot/paw, but more often than not is used to express indignation, as in between the legs. So! Jiverous if the turks have stolen our all-Armenian national dish votnaglukh/ ոտնագլուխ(foot and head)and turned it upside down to cal it kele *****, head and foot . Wecalso know that they suffer from another disease, foot and mouth, when every time they open their mouths one can see a big foot. One of these days that big foot will choke them and shut them off forever.
Those sons of jiver!!

Let's have some fun.
We cannot talk about this subject without telling this anekdot.
There are several stories told about that our native absent minded professor Hovannes Toumanian. He was a teacher and it seems at times he was also absent minded. Now we know where his mind was.
One morning he wakes up to the clang clang of pots and pans, his wife was already in the yard stirring a steaming pot over a hot fire. Upon asking her what she was doing she said; "Khash em patrastum".
That evening Hovannes invited all his colleagues and every friend he came across on his way home. They sat around the apseh waiting. After a while Hovannes running out of patience calls his wife and asks her where the khash was. She tells him to go in the yard and look at the clothesline.
Note: khash also means laundry. Both based on "khashel/kharshel", to boil.
Look who else calls it khash; http://www.azerizaur.com/food/
I have corrupted the above URL so as to not advertise their site, but it is obvious where it is from.
Here is what it says;
Kelle-***** (Khash)
214 gr mutton head, 179 gr sheep legs, 47 gr paunch, 5 gr garlic, 10 gr vinegar, salt.
Treat, wash and boil heads, legs and paunch. Skim off scum. Cook meat and bones for 6 - 7 hours, then take out, separate latge bones, cut meat into 40 - 50 gr pieces and cook in the broth again. Serve separately vinegar with pounded garlic to taste.
Below we will see that the author uses "*****" as a synonym to khash.
I had known this for quite sometime, however the complete description is "kelle *****" as seen at that site above. We also tried to avoid it like the plague as it is attributed to Turkish. It seem this is far from the truth. I also knew that the Persians called the stew "kelle pacheh". I thought they may have borrowed it from the Turkish. Surprise! Surprise! My Persian dictionary defines "kelle" as head/skull and "pacheh" as trotters, to mean hoof, totik. Both seem to be native as the dictionary does not attribute to Arabic or any other languages as some other words are indicated so.
So! Who is the original creator of that much loved and hated food? It is conclusive. Turks don't even contend.
We have been too serious. Let's relax and have some fun.
Below is the recipe for khash and the site lists many other recipes. (Thanks to Raffi K. of cilicia.com)
Some one hundred or so years ago Garegin Abp Srvantztiants in his book Hamov Hotov suggested that we use Armenian words for our food. I don't remember much of it except that he had suggsted "tertush" for paklava and "sarnush" for icecream.
We have been talking about composing(or not) Armenian words for every gadget and gizmo. Let's see if we can find/compose Armenian words for the dishes listed. They can be descriptive, translations or even silly inventions.
Oh! The winner will get a year's supply of khash personally delivered by Movses.
I will begin.
Even if we have a native word for khash, in the tradition of "erkayna-klora-blah-blah-blah", I suggest that we use "limona-SKHTORA-glokha-totik" (Note that skhtor is in big letters.)
(Hoof, Stomach, Tongue Soup)
4 Calves' Hoofs
6 lamb tongues
2 lbs. Calves' Tripe
2 garlic cloves
salt, pepper, paprika
It is best to buy the feet already cleaned if possible. Otherwise soak feet in boiling water to loosen the shoe, then take off the shoe from each foot. Singe all hairs and scrape off the rest with the edge of a knife. Wash everything very thoroughly. Soak the feet and stomach in water over-night. Each ingredient has to be cooked separately at first.
In a big kettle start cooking the feet with the garlic.
Cut stomach into one inch squares, cook 10 minutes, drain the water. Add fresh water and cook 15 minutes more. Then add to the feet and cook together for 2 hours. When meat separates from foot bones, remove all bones. Also take off scums when formed.
Cook tongues in water until skins can be pulled off easily. Cut up into small pieces. When the feet and stomach is half cooked add the pieces of tongue, and the salt and pepper.
When khash is cooked take off some of its fat into a small frying pan add the paprika and cook a few seconds until paprika is melted, then pour back into the khash. Serve the meat with its own broth in soup plates. Add lemon juice or vinegar when eating. This is a meat course.
Serves 6
[Khash recipe from AGBU Cookbook]
"Hayastan" barits pokvetsin @nkan,"Russa"n ou "Tajka"n...
PS. My "beef" of the day. Call it "tavar" if you wiil
I was about to suggest to the ads and mods to install a pop-up feature, as everytime a word such as khash,xash is used it would show that the subject has been discussed before, but I decided otherwise, as every time "turkish", jewish" or "genocide" is used we will be flooded with references that even that f**** idiot Noah will not know how to fillter. So. Forget the pop-ups, however, an advice to our new members; Please search before you ask your questions, and initiating an new topic before we know if it has already been discussed. This will reduce the number of repetitions and a waste of out precious time.

Chicago: Tony Mantuano Gets Serious About Pizza at Bar Toma
Bar Toma
110 E Pearson St Chicago, IL 60611 (map); 312-266-3110; bartomachicago.com
Pizza Style: Neapolitan-ish, but really its own style
Oven: Wood-burning
The Skinny: Remarkably light yet crisp and chewy crust is its own delicious beast in the pizza world and the toppings I sampled were top-notch
Price: Pizzas range from $14 to $19
Beyond being widely recognized as one of the true masters of Italian cuisine in the United States, Tony Mantuano is quite the pizza man. Regular readers will remember that I raved about his pizzas at Terzo Piano and I was also a fan of his pies at Cafe Spiaggia. But at each of those restaurants, pizza is far from the focus of the menus. With Mantuano's latest venture, Bar Toma, pizza is the one of the main attractions.
Bar Toma opened its doors late last year, replacing Bistro 110, the longstanding decidedly mediocre tourist-laden dining spot that survived because of the phenomenal location steps from the Magnificent Mile. I don't say that to knock whoever was doing the cooking at Bistro 110 (Mantuano actually helped open the place 25 years ago), but rather to make the point that between the location and his name, Chef Mantuano could have come up with a menu in his sleep that would have made for a resounding success. Fortunately for pizza lovers (not to mention cheese lovers, gelato lovers, and coffee lovers), this is a restaurant full of seriously delicious food.
What's New On Serious Eats
I almost never order pepperoni pizza for the simple reason that most pepperoni sucks. But when I looked at the description of the Smoke and Cure pizza and saw the phrase "Vermont artisanal pepperoni," I decided to give it a shot. I adore sausage and generally think it is the ultimate pizza topping, but these thick-cut chunks of chewy, spicy, fatty pork were absolutely delicious.
Along with the meat, the pizza came with mozzarella, tomato sauce, some Parmesan, and thin slices of smoked garlic that offered a subtle twist that I thought worked well. Everything about this combination worked well together. The creamy mozzarella was bolstered by a generous dose of Parmesan. The smoked garlic, a topping I'd never encountered, worked really well. That said, the tomato sauce was virtually non-existent, which was unfortunate for two reasons. First, the bright sauce seemingly made from quality tomatoes and little else, was good, and second, more was needed to balance out the strong flavors elsewhere on the pie. Also, for some pizzas, the standard practice at the restaurant is for a server to come to the table with what is basically a small bush of dried oregano and shake it over the pizza. It's a fun, showy bit that certainly beats a shaker of the stuff, both in presentation and quality. Sadly, the Smoke and Cure does not get that treatment and this pizza would have benefited from some herbage. But while this pizza could easily have been a bit better, it was still pretty great, which is ultimately a testament to the quality of ingredients and the outstanding crust.
Chef Mantuano put a ton of work into developing his dough recipe before ultimately settling on a high gluten General Mills wheat flour that he mixes with dark rye flour and wheat germ. I'm not sure that it makes a difference, but the mixer imported from Italy has two arms to knead the dough instead of a single hook (check out a picture here). After a 48-hour ferment, the dough is ready to spend a couple of minutes in the wood-burning oven, where it turns into what might be the lightest chewy and crispy crust I've had.
The Capriole Goat Cheese pizza tasted even better than the Smoke and Cure, but ultimately left me unsatisfied. Confused? Allow me to explain. The toppings on this pizza, the goat cheese, along with hazelnuts imported from Piedmont, leeks, thyme, and dates, were really exceptional. From the sweet dates to the tangy soft goat cheese to the crunchy nuts, this pizza offered a medley of flavors and textures that I loved.
But without a melted cheese or a sauce of any sort, there was nothing that brought the components together as a cohesive whole. Thinking about this pizza had me revisiting a two-year-old discussion on this site when I reviewed C-House, another instance where a brilliant celebrity chef pushed the edge of pizzadom. At the end of the day, as good as this pie was, it didn't give me the kind of soul-satisfying feeling that pizza can. But maybe I'm just nuts. Has anyone else ever eaten a great flatbread with toppings that failed to scratch that pizza itch?
Bar Toma's name has a fun double-meaning. Not only is Toma a combination of the first two letters of Tony Mantuano's first and last name, but it's also the name of one of the chef's favorite cheeses, one that is prominently featured on the menu (though not on any pizzas). Beyond the name of the place, Mantuano's fingerprints are all over the restaurant and the results are every bit as delicious as you'd expect. And now that he has three restaurants that serve three very different kinds of pizza that range from good to great, he's forced his way into the conversation about the best pizzaiolo in town.

At yesterday's Level-5 event, a new trailer for story heavy Time Travelers was shown. It's got suspense, a schoolgirl and some sort of monster dude. Oh, and digital numbers!
The game is headed for the Nintendo 3DS and is being helmed by Jiro Ishii. He's made a name for himself in Japan with 438, a Sega Wii game that got rave reviews in Japan. Ishii's games are plot driven, and Time Travelers doesn't look to be an exception.
During the cutscenes, the gameplay system presents players with choices on the 3DS touchscreen. Their selection then effects how the scene plays out.
Towards the end of the trailer, the schoolgirl character stands atop a clock tower and wonders why things have turned out the way they have. She then plunges off the side of the structure.
The game's release is TBA.

Socialists Shouldn't Have to Admit Libertarians Into Their Club
Hastings College of the Law, a public law school in California, has a policy prohibiting discrimination on the basis of "race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, disabilities, age, sex or sexual orientation." In 2004, the Christian Legal Society, a religious student organization at the school, applied to become a "recognized student organization" — a designation that would have allowed CLS to receive a variety of benefits afforded to about 60 other Hastings groups. While all are welcome to attend CLS meetings, CLS's charter requires that its officers and voting members abide by key tenets of the Christian faith and comport themselves in ways consistent with its fundamental mission, which includes a prohibition on "unrepentant" sexual conduct outside of marriage between one man and one woman.
Hastings denied CLS registration on the asserted ground that this charter conflicts with the school's nondiscrimination policy. CLS sued Hastings, asking for no different treatment than is given to any registered student group. The district court granted Hastings summary judgment and the Ninth Circuit affirmed. The Supreme Court granted certiorari to determine whether Hastings's refusal to grant CLS access to student organization benefits amounted to viewpoint discrimination, which is impermissible under the First Amendment.
Yesterday Cato filed an amicus brief supporting CLS — authored by preeminent legal scholar Richard Epstein — in which we argue that CLS's right to intimate and expressive association trump any purported state interest in enforcing a school nondiscrimination policy. While Hastings may impose reasonable restrictions on access to limited public forums, it should not be allowed to admit speakers with one point of view while excluding speakers who hold different views. Our brief also discredits Hastings's assertion that its ability to exclude the public at large from school premises renders their content‐based speech restrictions constitutional.
We urge the Court to safeguard public university students' right to form groups — which by definition exclude people — free from government interference or censorship. (Of course, our first choice would be for the government to get out of the university business and our second choice would be to stop forcing taxpayers to pay for student clubs, but given those two realities — as in the case at hand — freedom of association is the way to go.)

Aaron Alexis began Navy Yard shooting with shotgun, then obtained pistol
Aaron Alexis, the gunman at the historic Washington Navy Yard, entered the base armed with only a shotgun then apparently "gained access" to a handgun after he began shooting, eventually killing 12 people, the FBI agent in charge of the investigation said Tuesday.
In addition, Washington's police chief described how officers arrived at the scene within minutes, found the building where Alexis was killing and wounding co-workers and exchanged gunfire with him for "at least 30 minutes" before fatally shooting the 34-year-old gunman and bringing the rampage to a stop.
The disclosures by the two top law enforcement officials in the case began to give a clearer picture of the moments after 8:15 a.m. Monday when Alexis, a Navy contractor and former member Navy enlisted man from Fort Worth, entered the base, which is located along Washington's Anacostia River waterfront.
FULL COVERAGE: Navy Yard shooting
Valerie Parlave, assistant director in charge of the FBI's Washington field office, said Alexis arrived in Washington around Aug. 25 and began staying in "local hotels," including a Residence Inn near the base that he moved into on Sept. 7. He had worked at bases in several cities in recent months as part of his job helping to maintain computer systems.
Alexis reported to the base Monday morning, Parlave said, noting that he "had legitimate access to the Navy Yard as a result of his work as a contractor, and he utilized a valid pass to gain entry to the building." He was carrying with him the shotgun, which he had recently legally purchased from a gun store in a Virginia suburb.
Officials have said the shotgun was purchased from Sharp Shooters in Lorton, Va. The owner of the store refused to comment and directed questions to his attorney. The attorney, J. Michael Slocum, said his firm will respond with a written statement after it first is "reviewed and approved" by federal law enforcement officials.
"Once inside the facility, and after he began shooting," Alexis "may have gained access to a handgun," Parlave said. Investigators believe he took a weapon from a base security guard whom he shot. Contrary to previous reports that had been widely circulated, Parlave said Alexis did not use an AR-15 semiautomatic weapon.
Cathy Lanier, chief of Washington's Metro Police Department, said police officers were at the Navy Yard within two minutes of the first calls for help. Within four or five minutes, she said, seven police units were going through the gates and trying to determine where the gunfire was coming from.
"There were different buildings, different calls and different building numbers," she said. After some minutes passed, "we had units outside the building where the shooter was, and they could hear another round of gunfire. They entered immediately, and two of them started giving lookouts and passing information along," Lanier said.
PHOTOS: At the scene of Navy Yard shooting
"There were multiple engagements with the suspect with multiple agencies before the final shots were fired," she said. In addition to the D.C. police, units from the Park Police, Navy security, the FBI and other agencies were involved. Lanier estimated that the gunfight lasted at least a half hour, but "not more than an hour."
Lanier said that once the officers engaged Alexis in the gun battle, "there is no doubt in my mind they saved numerous lives."
"It was a horrible tragedy," she added. "We hope it never happens again anywhere."
Parlave said the FBI believes that Alexis "acted alone." But Ronald C. Machen Jr., the U.S. attorney in Washington, said federal prosecutors are still investigating to see if others had assisted him in any way, even unknowingly.
"We're not going to stop until we get answers to these questions," he said.

MIT is the type of places where the students are expected to be exceptional, but even in the midst of a student population considered to be the cream of the crop, Daniel Lewin stood out as extraordinary. Lewin, who is best known for his role as co-founder at Akamai Technologies, Inc., was killed on-board American Airlines Flight 11 on Sept. 11. Although his life was cut short at age 31, he managed to make an indelible mark that can still be felt at MIT and Akamai 10 years after his death.
"He was just incredibly talented and hard-working, he had done it all. He accomplished an amazing amount in a short lifetime," said Tom Leighton, a professor in the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL).
Born in Denver, Colo., and raised in Jerusalem, Lewin came to MIT in 1996, working towards a PhD in applied mathematics under Leighton in the Algorithms Group at the Lab for Computer Science (the predecessor to CSAIL).
CSAIL Professor Steve Ward recalled how Lewin, "had a pretty clear picture of what he wanted to do, and the competence and drive to do it."
It was while working with Leighton that Lewin responded to a call from CSAIL researcher Tim Berners-Lee to develop a better way to deliver content online.
Lewin's master's thesis, for which he received the 1998 Morris Joseph Lewin Award for Best Masterworks Thesis Presentation, was the basis for the foundation of Akamai, which Lewin co-founded with Leighton in 1998. His thesis called for distributing copies of content such as pictures and videos across the Web for faster retrieval.
Leighton, who served as Lewin's research advisor, said that Lewin was the perfect business partner.
"Danny was a great person to be in business with, he was very smart, very trustworthy, driven, hard working, and so he was an ideal business partner," Leighton said.
Lewin and Leighton crafted a business plan based on Lewin's work and entered it into MIT's 50K entrepreneurial competition. While Lewin and Leighton did not win the contest, they were inspired to move forward, and set about founding Akamai in 1998. In 2012, MIT's 100K competition will feature an award named in Lewin's honor.
Leighton fondly recalled that during the initial stages of getting Akamai off the ground, the two worked constantly and inseparably, even sharing a small desk at one point, to achieve their mission.
CSAIL Professor Charles Leiserson, who worked at Akamai as the director of system architecture for a number of years, said he looks back on his time working with Lewin as a "wild ride."
"He was really like nobody I'd ever met, he really had the ability to focus and then just drive, drive, drive, drive, drive. It's fun being around people like that who can really have an impact and make a difference," Leiserson said.
Akamai went public in October 1999, forever changing Lewin's life and turning the young husband and father of two into a billionaire. When Lewin was killed on Sept. 11, it was quite a shock to the company. In a fitting tribute to Lewin, the company has not only survived since his untimely passing, but also flourished.
"It was quite a blow to the company because Danny really was a moving force behind it," explained Leiserson. "But, in some sense, at that point things were so well-launched that it was no longer so dependent on any individual to make it through, but I think you'd find Danny's can-do spirit very much in the company."
Lewin's inspirational spirit lives on today, both at MIT and Akamai, through his friends and colleagues who hope to pass on Lewin's drive and motivation to today's students, and through a number of awards and honors named in his honor.
MIT honored Lewin shortly after his passing by naming the intersection of Main and Vassar Streets, right outside CSAIL, Danny Lewin Square. The annual Symposium on Theory of Computing named its Best Student Paper Award in Lewin's honor to memorialize his significant accomplishments to the field. Akamai presents the Danny Lewin Awards each year to three Akamai employees who represent Lewin's spirit, technical savvy, and ability to "move mountains." This year the company also named a park right outside its offices in Kendall Square in Lewin's honor.
Prior to matriculating at MIT, Lewin was an officer in the Israeli Defense Forces, an elite anti-terrorism unit. He then worked at IBM's research laboratory in Israel, while also completing two undergraduate degrees. Lewin's spunk, determination and drive continued through his last moments, as he is thought to have attempted to stop the terrorists on-board Flight 11 as they took control of the cockpit.
Recalling his time with Lewin, Leighton explained that he lost more than his business partner on Sept. 11, 2001.
"He turned into my best friend. He started as a student, but as we left MIT it wasn't a professor-student relationship anymore. It was a colleague kind of relationship and a friend relationship. I certainly miss that," Leighton said. "He was a very, very bright fellow, and a great leader, inspirational fellow, and really a unique human being. Anyone that extraordinary when they're lost you never replace that, you miss that."

This artical was the first time I heard of Mr. Lewin. I looked up his page on wiki. I'll bet I'm not the only person who thinks he came close to changing history, that day. A man of extraordinary calbre.

Ohio Northern University's Freed Center for the Performing Arts will present "Suicide in B Flat" from Feb. 7-9 at 7:30 p.m. with two matinee shows on Saturday, Feb. 9, and Sunday, Feb. 10, at 2 p.m.
The production, done by ONU students, revolves around two detectives attempting to sort out a murder/suicide in a darkly comic, jazz-inspired parody of a detective story written by Sam Shepard, one of America's greatest contemporary dramatic voices.
This wild ride of a play, first produced in 1976, is situated at the crossroads between Shepard's experimental past and his more commercial future.
The cast includes Jennifer Barnaba (Paulette), a sophomore musical theatre and music performance double major from Bellbrook, Ohio; Derek Brookens (Louis), a senior musical theatre major from Port Allegany, Pa.; Lindsey DelBello (Laureen), a senior theatre and history double major with a dance minor from Williamsville, N.Y.; Jim Park (piano player), a sophomore marketing major from Sylvania, Ohio; Zane Sade (Niles), a junior theatre major from Churubusco, Ind.; Diego Sandino (Pablo), a senior journalism and theatre double major from Attica, Ohio; and Jim Scofield (Petrone), a junior musical theatre and creative writing double major from Sugar Land, Texas.
Geoffry Nelson, the guest director for the production, has staged two Sam Shepard plays, "True West" and "Fool for Love," and produced a third, "A Lie of the Mind." Nelson founded the Contemporary American Theatre Company in 1985.
He served as the artistic director at CATCO, central Ohio's professional theatre, for more than 25 years, producing more than 200 plays.
Nelson has directed more than 100 plays, ranging from Neil Simon to Anton Chekhov, from Rodgers & Hammerstein to Harold Pinter.
He has taught theatre or served as a guest artist at several Ohio universities, including Denison, Wittenberg, Otterbein and Ohio State, as well as The Pontifical College Josephinum. He has won awards from The Ohio Theatre Alliance, The Theatre Roundtable of Central Ohio, The Central Ohio Critics Circle, The Ohioana Library Association and the Huntington Foundation.
Under his leadership, CATCO won the Governor's Award for Arts Outreach, and, most recently, he was the recipient of the Raymond G. Hanley Fellowship in the Arts.
Tickets are $15 for general admission, $12 for seniors and non-ONU students, $9 for children, and $5 for ONU students. The Freed Center box office is open Monday through Friday from noon to 5 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Phone orders are accepted with American Express, MasterCard, VISA or Discover by calling 419-772-1900.

Where are all the Vegans?!
Hi everybody!
I've been a vegan for almost a month and have been amazed that I have YET to talk to another vegan (let alone meet one in person)! Even at places like a vegan café I've only found pescetarians and vegetarians D: I'm attending a Canadian university so I'm not without an abundance of people... Where ARE you guys??
Hi! We're all here!! Welcome!
Hi Jerler!
I don't know very many vegans IRL either. But that's why there's VegWeb! Don't give up!
Have you checked if there is a group for vegans at your University? Or in your city?
KY, a colder climate! I nearly laughed tea out my nose!
Drive about 2500 KM north and you'll find me standing out in the three feet of snow in my backyard, making plans for the garden in the spring. Spring comes in MAY. We aren't guaranteed frost-free until JUNE! Summer is a whopping three months long. Sorry Kentucky, but if at this time of year I can see more of you than just your eyes peeking out from the folds of your snowsuit, it ain't that cold.
:) I'm just bugging ya. I'm glad that you are blogging about gardening, it is a wonderful thing to be able to live off the land and eat what you yourself have sewn. But double check your link there, I got re-directed into no-man's-land when I clicked.
thats my problem!!!!
im only 11, i cant meet anyone in person!!!
I know tons of real life vegans, come to so cal <3

Turkey mine search ends; last of 301 bodies found
SAVASTEPE, Turkey (AP) — Turkish rescue workers have retrieved the bodies of the last two missing miners in the nation's worst mining disaster, putting the final death toll at 301, the energy minister said Saturday.
Taner Yildiz said 485 miners escaped or were rescued after Tuesday's explosion and fire that devastated a coal mine in Soma, western Turkey.
"All corners of the mine were searched by a large team and there was no other body or living person," he said. "Until today we had focused on search and rescue efforts. Now we will be focusing on investigations, on what will happen about production."
"We won't be leaving (Soma) because the search efforts are ending," he added. "There will be psychological and social support."
Government and mining officials have insisted that the disaster was not due to negligence and that the mine was inspected regularly. Akin Celik, the mine's operations manager, has said thick smoke from the underground fire killed many miners who had no gas masks. High levels of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide have been a problem for rescue workers as well.
But one miner, 24-year-old Erdal Bicak, told The Associated Press that he believes the disaster was due to the mining company's negligence.
"The company is guilty," Bicak said. He said managers had machines that measure methane gas levels: "The new gas levels had gotten too high and they didn't tell us in time."
Yildiz said it is too early to say why the explosion occurred.
"The true cause of the accident will be assessed ... through different dimensions," he said. "There will be lessons to draw for the mining world."

The growth in the awareness about the Nepali literature in India was undoubtedly pioneered by the Nepalese of Darjeeling. People of that expanse got enlightened about their language and literature due to their propinquity to the British. Sikkim was thence in a nap which was a sleep of illiteracy and unawareness. Very few of the Sikkimese were educated on the eve of the First World War and who belonged to the Super class and were not engrossed to make their subordinates aware about their literatures nor did they themselves had written anything. They were simply cramped in their revenue making practice. In such a state of affairs, to imagine a literary society was not less than a hallucination in the Sikkimese scenario. When Chandrika (A Nepali Newspaper edited and published by the jewel of Indian Nepali Literature lt. Paras Mani Pradhan) was widely circulated in the contiguous of Darjeeling, there were hardly a small amount of people in Sikkim who could write their names in their language. Though, the establishment of educational institutes was taken place in the first decade of the 20th century, but they were unable to produce the literary minds with their out dated theological syllabus. It was only after the arrival of Lt. Rashmi Prasad Alley to Sikkim the system of imparting education in Nepali language was started. The vigorous attempts of Lt. Alley are unforgettable and would be considered the same by every Sikkimese ceaselessly.
The credit for the prologue of the Nepali language in the Sikkimese schools goes to the then Maharaja Tashi Namgyal who allowed to approve Nepali as a language for the idea of giving out education to his Nepali subjects. With the introduction of Nepali as a vernacular language in the educational institutes, Sikkim had contributed lots in the Nepali Literary world. Many radical and rational writers were born in Sikkim among them the writers of the APATAN literary society are of importance. The Apatan Sahitya Parishad is the pioneer literary association of Sikkim founded by four eminent Sikkimese Nepali poets namely Agam Singh Tamang, Padam Singh Subba, Tulshi Bahadur Chettri and Nima Wangdi Lepcha. They had a cry in their writings a legitimate cry against the crooked practices customary in the society like landlordism and its associated vices.
Under the inventiveness of the APATAN literary society, the first literary meet was organized at White Hall Gangtok on 18th and 19th of November 1952. The important literary figures who were present in that meet were Kavi Siromani Lekh Nath Poudyal, Lt. Rashmi Prasad Alley, Bal Krishna Sama, Padam Singh Subba Apatan, Tulshi Bahadur Chettri Apatan, Lt. Kashi Raj Pradhan and among them the figure of great importance was Mahakavi Lakshmi Prasad Devkota. The conclusion of the first literary meet had a far reaching impact in the Sikkimese literature in general and the Nepali literature in particular. The essential accomplishment of the meet was the publication of the first news based journal of Sikkim Kanchanjunga from 15th of August 1957. The Newspaper was edited and published by Lt. Kashi Raj Pradhan which had played an imperative ingredient in heralding a new epoch of democracy in Sikkim.
(In the picture tall man in suit is Rashmi Prasad Alley, left to him in black suit is Kavi Tulshi Bahadur Chettri Apatan, Right to Alley is Bal Krishna Sama, next to Sama tall man in Nepali attire is Padam Singh Subba Apatan, the last man on the row in a black coat is Kavi Siromani Lekh Nath Poudyal)

Frequently Asked Questions
Before You Buy
You should only use video converters and extenders if it is absolutely necessary to do so. In many cases, most video converters and extenders are not necessary if you purchase the correct cable.
The following table lists the maximum length of cable for common video standards.
|Video standard
|Maximum length
|50 ft. (15.2m)
|50 ft. (15.2m)
|50 ft. (15.2m)
|200 ft. (71m)
Note: StarTech.com offers cables longer than what is listed above, including active cables, which typically include built-in active signal boosters that allow for longer cables. Active cables are specifically designed to exceed the suggested maximum lengths and are tested at the listed specifications (for example, the maximum listed resolution).
Video adapters
Video adapters passively adapt a cable from one connector type to another. Video adapters do not change the signal type, or change the video standard.
Examples of common applications for adapters include the following:
DVI-I to VGA
RCA to BNC
Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort
Couplers (female to female, or male to male)
Note: You can use a coupler to extend a cable for a short distance. However, each coupler that you use can introduce signal loss, which degrades the signal quality.
Video converters
Video converters actively process and change the signal type from one video standard and convert it to another standard. They are typically used to convert digital to analog and vice versa, but can be used to convert a digital signal to another digital video standard (for example, HDMI to DisplayPort).
Video converters work over short distances from the source to the destination: up to 15 feet or 3 meters.
Video extenders
Video extenders convert an input signal to a higher voltage for transmission over longer distances and then convert the input signal back to the original video standard. The input and the output signal will match on a video extender, as the same video standard is maintained end-to-end. If a cable is extended with adapters or converters, the signal quality degrades.
Note: For more information on using a video adapter or converter with a video extender, see the following FAQ: http://www.startech.com/faq/video_signal_converters_convert_then_extend.

Author: Jim Carroll, Chairman, BBH London
I'm no motor racing enthusiast, but I was cracking up over the Senna documentary. The potent cocktail of youth, beauty, talent and tragedy. The story of a genius half expressed, a life half lived.
It's a curiosity of middle age that one finds oneself weeping more frequently. Sometimes it's prompted by the profound. But often it's the incidental, the humdrum, the everyday. A fay costume drama, a moderately emotional screwball comedy, a random memory of Dylan, the springer spaniel, watching sparrows on the summer lawn.
I sat next to a guy on the plane a while ago. A formal, serious looking man with one of those bulky lawyer's briefcases that mean money and business. He obviously travelled a lot. After take-off he set out his paraphernalia for in-flight comfort: his unguents, earplugs and blindfold. He refused food, switched on a monitor and proceeded to cry profusely all the way through Four Weddings and a Funeral.
I'm not sure about the psychology or physiology of Middle Aged Weeping. Could it be the remembrance of things past, the wisdom of age, the diminution of testosterone, the proximity of death, the fear of apocalypse? Or all of the above simultaneously tugging at the heart strings and demanding a tune?
I'd like to say I've gained some lasting benefit or resolution from my weeping, that I am more in touch with my emotions,more at one with myself. But, whilst I am certainly curious about it, I don't feel any farther down the road to self knowledge. Tears are not enough.
I cry aloneWhen no one else can hear meWhen friends come by to cheer meI smile and say I feel OK.
With the exception of a few funerals, like Maxine Brown I have always cried alone. Context evaporates, time stalls, the world closes in. Melancholy is a matter of silent isolation.
Conversely I only laugh with others. To share the joke, to join the fun, to feel peels of laughter rippling through the crowd. The greatest highs are the ones we share. And solitary laughter is the surest sign of oncoming madness. As the guy on the 19 bus giggles out loud at the contents of his book, one edges along the seat a little farther, grips the handrail a little tighter. I suspect more people write LOL than do it.
Take a look at anyone's Facebook photos and you'll see a curiously hedonistic sense of self. The laughter, smiles, gatherings and getaways of friends and family. Darker thoughts and feelings are generally suppressed. It's a redacted life.
I wonder what does this mean? Are we instinctively predisposed to share life's highs and keep the lows to ourselves? Are some feelings inherently more private and others more public? Are there natural limits to the social?
I'm aware, of course, that some societies cry more freely than mine. Perhaps others laugh more privately too. And conventions are changing. We live in an age where the instinct to share has extended beyond the joyous and celebratory. Oprah's openness, misery memoirs, celebrity confessions. Some have speculated that the social era may lead us to happier personal lives, that in our free expression on the web, we're engaged in some kind of mass therapy: we're producing the best adjusted generation since before The Fall.
Nonetheless, I share the growing concern that our transparent world poses challenges in the area of privacy. Hitherto much of the debate has centred around personal data, unsolicited targeting, embarrassing photos. I suspect privacy may represent a more profound issue than this. Privacy is a matter of personal identity. And in order to prevent identity theft in the truest sense we need to protect the arcane, opaque, mysterious elements of our own lives. In her new book, Quiet, Susan Cain suggests that the 'world that can't stop talking' underestimates introverts. I agree.
Van the Man once sang about the 'Inarticulate Speech of the Heart'. I had grown up thinking that any belief needed a justification, that an emotion wasn't properly felt unless it could be articulated, that one couldn't recover from a trauma unless one could describe it. Now I treasure the unexplained, the unspoken, the unthought.

[Sanders retains strong lead over Clinton in N.H. before Tuesday's primary]
IfClinton loses to Sanders despite her husband's attacks,the battle for the nominationmay get only harder. Next up is Nevada and then South Carolina, whereHillary Clinton may be relying onminority votersto help her beat Sanders â"but, then again,Bill Clinton's perceived racism hurt his wife's attempts to win South Carolinain 2008 when he called Obama's candidacy "thebiggest fairy tale I've ever seen." The former president later said he was only pointing out that Obama, as senator, voted against the Iraq War, but then voted to fund it.
"So 'that story is a fairy tale' â"now, that doesn't have anything to do with my respect for him as a person or as a political figure in this campaign," Clinton toldthe Rev. Al Sharpton at the time. "He's put together a great campaign. It's clearly not a fairy tale. It's real."
The Big Dog turns attack dog
Bill Clinton did not mince words when it came to his wife's Democratic rival at an event in New Hampshire on Sunday.
At an event in Milford, the former President blasted Sen. Bernie Sanders' positions on health care, his assertion that Hillary Clinton is a part of the establishment during hisfiercest attack on the candidate ahead of Tuesday's pivotal primary.
"When you're making a revolution you can't be too careful with the facts," Clinton said,the New YorkTimesreports.
The former Secretary of State trails Sanders in the Granite State, a state that has in the past boosted Clinton campaigns. On Sunday, Clinton also derided Sanders' assertion that he is running a positive campaign, saying the actions of his staffers and the conduct of his supporters online shows that's not the case.
"You guys say you're running a positive campaign, but it was your campaign that made 25 separate inquires in the mere space of 30 minutes trying to loot information [from Hillary Clinton's campaign] out of computers," Clinton said. "And said, 'Well, I apologize for that.' Yeah, in public they did. In private, they sent an email out complaining, blaming the Democratic party for leaving the keys in the carâ¦.'All I did was drive it out.'"
Clinton also called attention to a collection of male Sanders supporters dubbed 'Bernie bros' who launch vitriolic attacks on Clinton supporters online in solidarity with the Senator's cause. Though the Sanders campaign has distanced itself from the "bros," Clinton suggested that Sanders supporters made it difficult for women to speak freely about his wife's campaign online.
Bloggers "who have gone online to defend Hillary, to explain why they supported her, have been subject to vicious trolling and attacks that are literally too profane often, not to mention sexist, to repeat," Clinton said Sunday.
The sexism suggestion was striking coming from Clinton, whose past misdeeds with women have become part of the 2016 election. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said the former president has a "penchant for sexism" at one point this cycle.
According to theNew YorkTimes, Sanders' camp said Clinton's rhetoric was "disappointing."
"Obviously the race has changed in New Hampshire and elsewhere in recent days," said a senior Sanders advisor Tad Devine.
