"Occupation Affect: On Political Emotion" Conference
March 2, 2013 @ 9:00 am - 5:30 pm |
"Occupation Affect" seeks to take the emotional pulse of the current moment. Staging a day of public talks and a roundtable discussion, followed by a half-day meeting, we will gather a group of scholars to investigate the feelings that permeate both this era of economic collapse and the modes of adaptation as well as rebellion that have arisen in its midst. We want to explore the affective dimensions of the Great Recession and jobless "recovery," of bail-outs and sell-outs, of tea parties and coffee klatches, of magnificent inequality and vanishing public services, of the growing concentration of wealth and the emergence of autonomous, decentralized social movements, of hopes dashed and hopes raised, of diminishing faith in government and expanding political imaginaries, of economic freefall and resurgent activist energy. We will, in short, investigate the current conjuncture through the lens of political emotion.
In this moment of economic restructuring toward an uncertain future and growing rebellion against the neoliberal global order, we are curious about ordinary and extraordinary affects: their circulation and effects, how we feel them and what we do with them, what they signal and what they obscure, how they use us and how we might use them. We want to better understand the conditions of possibility for political hope and despair; the sources and effects of apocalyptic feelings; and how senses of impossibility sometimes fade and new horizons suddenly emerge. What do we all do to stay afloat, what new subjectivities are arising amid ongoing crises, what new social relations, new ways of thinking, feeling, and doing, are being generated in the current conjuncture?
Feelings, emotion, and affect have continued for over a decade now to fascinate scholars across the disciplines. The terrain is slippery, taking as its object of research viscerality, nonrationality, the sensed, that which is bodily, inchoate, ineffable, and to the side of consciousness. We wish to investigate the theoretical, philosophical, and political trajectories the affective turn opens up for making sense of, and figuring out how to intervene in, the contemporary moment.
The Affect Working Group draws together faculty and graduate students from across the University—American Studies, Anthropology, Art, Computer Science, Feminist Studies, Film and Digital Media, History of Art and Visual Culture, History of Consciousness, Latin American and Latino Studies, Literature, Politics, and Sociology—who are interested in the felt dimensions of social life. With this conference, we hope to advance our discussions with one another and contribute to a larger discussion among similar research/art/activist collaboratives around the country, including Feel Tank Chicago and Public Feelings groups in Austin, Texas and New York City.

To Zingerman's and Beyond: The Food Scene in Ann Arbor
Gastro-Tour by Amy Rea 12/12/2016 12/11/2016
The Upper Midwest is a big region. Our magazine focuses on the greater Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area, but when we're given opportunities to break out of the I-694 / 494 loop and check out comparable scenes in other cities — as we were when the Ann Arbor Area Convention and Visitors Bureau came knocking with an offer of a paid trip focusing on food, travel, and lodging — we take 'em.
A four-day survey of this classic Midwestern college town reveals that the growth we've seen locally is no anomaly — good food is booming in Michigan, too. Some of that is due to the presence of the vast Zingerman's empire (as we discovered on our last trip to Ann Arbor, in 2012). The food-based business has many arms, including Zingerman's Deli, Zingerman's Roadhouse Restaurant (where the head chef is the James Beard Award winner Alex Young, and where you can get a mighty fine plate of fried chicken), the mail-order business, and even a branch that offers customer service and leadership training to other companies. On a separate visit to the shops, without our media group, we found it hard not to notice the stellar customer service. Apparently Zingerman's truly can teach other companies a thing or two.
Ethnic Choices
Zingerman's also provides support for employee projects. Case in point: Miss Kim's, which officially opened on Dec. 6. Chef-owner Ji Hye Kim got her start in the food business slicing cheese at Zingerman's Deli. But she wanted to reconnect to her Korean roots, and with the support of Zingerman's, she launched a food cart selling Korean street food and then developed a business plan to open the restaurant, which she categorizes as "influenced by Korean food."
The influence was clearly good. On our visit, plate after small plate of perfectly prepared bites arrived: raw oysters with kumquat, braised short ribs, spiced edamame, and spinach jook, a porridge of rice and spinach with crispy chard stems and egg. Each dish had its own distinctive flavor, and the gentle porridge, in particular, tied the spicier or more flavorful dishes together.
It's not surprising that ethnic restaurants are doing well in Ann Arbor given the University of Michigan's diverse student population. If there are any Moroccan students there, they must be thrilled to have Casablanca in nearby Ypsilanti. Located in a former Taco Bell with a rundown exterior, Casablanca has a much brighter, more inviting interior, and its foods have flavor in spades. A delicate bistilla was like a meat-filled baklava, with delicate phyllo dough layers folded around chicken with herbs and saffron, the top dusted with powdered sugar and cinnamon — a wonderful push-and-pull of sweet and savory. Falafel arrived with a sturdy, crispy exterior that wasn't greasy, and it was packed full of garlic and parsley. A luxuriously creamy Moroccan hummus topped with tomatoes, ginger, onions, and herbs could easily serve as a meal with the restaurant's unusually thin pita bread.
Upscale dining
Upper-end restaurants have a strong and growing presence in Ann Arbor. Adam Baru, who seems poised to be Ann Arbor's version of Tim McKee, is the proprietor of well-regarded restaurants Isalita and Mani Osteria & Bar, and he opened a third restaurant last August: Mikette Bistro & Bar. Mikette's southern-French foods were thoughtfully developed and executed. We tried a bright ceviche in a sauce of nuoc cham, mint, and cilantro. The roast chicken Provençal was brined for 24 hours. Next, copious amounts of butter were spread under the skin and the bird was roasted. Finally, it was cooled for 8 hours. This slow approach gave the chicken an almost unbelievable succulence, yet it still had a crisp skin.
Taste Kitchen, just two years old, resists fitting itself into any one cuisine, reserving the right to fuse food fashions as it likes, with a focus on smaller, lighter plates. This sounds like it could be a hot mess, but the kitchen operates with an eye to the big picture. At our visit, a crab and curried butternut squash soup had huge chunks of crabmeat in a mild, creamy yellow soup, with a garnish of pickled onions adding a needed tang and crunch to cut through the richness. Sous vide short ribs were spoon-tender and generously flavored with anise, while roasted duck was served with wilted arugula, a hash of sweet potatoes and asparagus, and a brown pan sauce. Both plates were decadent and flavorful.
The Fleetwood Diner
Let us not forget the importance of a good diner. Ann Arbor's answer to Mickey's is the Fleetwood Diner, the ideal antidote to an evening of over-imbibing. This is classic greasy-spoon fare, fried up flash-quick on a super-hot griddle and served by a woman who doesn't have a lot of patience for dithering. The diner's signature dish is the Hippie Hash Breakfast, and what a hash it was — homemade hash browns, tomatoes, onions, green peppers, and broccoli, cooked crisp-tender and covered in a mound of feta cheese. It was not as greasy as could be expected, and the eggs over easy were cooked perfectly.
Argus Farm Stop
Nearly every place we visited has a commitment to using local farmers and purveyors as much as possible. An interesting addition to Ann Arbor's food scene is Argus Farm Stop, a retail food store with a unique business model: The foods are all on consignment from the providers, who decide what they'll sell and at what price. The store takes 20 percent off the top, and the rest goes back to the farmers. This allows the farmers to move away from selling at farmers markets, if they wish, and put more time into their farms. It's a tricky model, and one that requires a certain nimbleness: For example, the farmers retain ownership of the products until consumers buy them, and the store faced a quandary in dealing with Amish farmers, who won't sell their wares on Sundays. The solution: The store covers up Amish products on Sundays with a sign asking shoppers to come again on Monday. The owners hope other cities will take up their model, and are willing to work with people outside Ann Arbor. They're already in talks with interested parties in other parts of the U.S. and Canada and they helped to open a store in Detroit earlier this year.
Raised Eyebrows
That's a lot of exemplary food stories. But we also need to include some things that didn't quite live up to the high bar these eateries have set. One was Red Rock Barbecue in Ypsilanti. Not that it was bad, but it was not exceptional; better than chain barbecue, but not necessarily a destination eatery.
Beverages had their own set of issues. A visit to Unity Vibration for kombucha beer yielded mixed results; we tried a seasonal Silver Branch beer, which was a kombucha-cider hybrid with a mild flavor similar to a hard cider and none of the usual kombucha funkiness, so not bad, but the raspberry had an off, somewhat medicinal, flavor that was unpleasant.
"Medicinal" also came into play when tasting cherry wines at Cherry Republic. (One taster may have said, "Nyquil.") A hard cherry cider was better received as it wasn't nearly as cloying as the wines, but the hard apple-cherry cider was overly sweet and had a strong, muddy aftertaste.
We were pleased with the quality of Michigan wines at Vin Bar, which does a great job at proving that northern-climate wines need not be relentlessly saccharine. But when a bottle of pinot noir retails for $30 and is comparable in quality to an $8 bottle from California or Argentina, it raises questions about the cost of buying local.
So if you have the opportunity to travel to Ann Arbor, take it, and try the places we recommend above. For a city with a population of about 100,000, there are some amazing things going on.
The Ann Arbor CVB paid my round-trip airfare, which included a middle seat in coach on a packed flight on the way there and a toddler with an iPad behind me on the way back. There were four nights of lodging at a very nice downtown hotel, complete with a teenage girls' ice skating team on my floor the last night that won their competition and stayed up late celebrating. The CVB handled my in-town transportation, entertainment, and food, including meals at restaurants, and I came home with some free keepsakes including infused olive oils and vinegar, a jar of honey, dried cherries, and a cold from the people coughing and sneezing on the return flight.

The parachuting survival game, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds or PUBG to its fans, has come to mobile for both Android and iOS. And, if you think the physical factors of the game are compromised, you're wrong.
Even though the graphics are slimmed down a bit for mobile-worthy performance, the game still keeps up well with its PC version. It really feels like the true PUBG we love. So, a few restrictions when compared to the ease of playing the game on the fly aren't a deal-breaker really.
Anyway, what you should know is that PUBG mobile is truly absorbing, and as it turns out, gamers are apparently looking for ways to play it on a PC.
So, taking cues, we've come out with a how-to guide on playing PUBG Mobile on PC. We've taken everything into perspective and explained four ways to help you with the task. Take a look.
Just as we know, BlueStacks is an industry standard for software emulation. It works by imitating Android ambiance on a PC and makes most Android apps & programs run on Windows with little fuss.
Considering that, it can even help gamers run PUBG Mobile, which is an Android app, on a computer. Here's how to go about it.
1. Download BlueStacks app and the APK version of the PUGB Mobile game on your PC.
2. Navigate to 'My Apps' section and select 'Install APK' option given at the bottom right.
3. Now, go to Settings, select Display, and set the aspect ratio to 'System Default'.
4. Also, you'll have to set the DPI to High and select 'Engine' to set it to 'Open GL'.
5. In the end, choose the CPU cores and RAM & exit the settings.
6. This is it. You can start playing the game now.
If you are having issues with Open GL mode you can also try DirectX.
When deciding what emulator to choose for playing PUGB Mobile on PC, you've got a few choices besides BlueStacks. One of them is Nox App Player, which is worth a try if you're looking for a consistent and stress-free Android experience on your PC.
Here's how you can use it.
1. At first, download and install the Nox App Player on your PC.
2. Now, look for a reliable source on the web to download the APK file version of the PUGB Mobile game. You can also download the game by signing in the Play Store account.
3. Launch Nox App Player and drag-drop the APK file into it for the game to get installed.
4. Once the installation finishes, you can start playing the game on your PC and kick some fun.
Next emulator on the checklist is the MEmu App Player, which also works by replicating the Android environ on that of a PC. However, it comes with its own set of requirements; first being the availability of Windows 7 or above, and the second is of Display Driver, which should be OpenGL 3.0 or above.
If all these requirements are met, here's how you can use MEmu to run PUGB for Mobile on PC.
1. Download MEmu App Player and the PUGB Mobile APK+data on your PC. You can also download it from Google Play Store without any problem.
2. Once the file is installed, it should appear on the Home Screen.
3. Simply click it and start playing the game on your computer.
4. Check MEmu keyboard controls and you will find the PUBG keyboard settings is already there. Just select the PUBG mode and start playing. You can also edit any key you want.
ApowerMirror is a utility program that mirrors your phone's screen and lets you access it on a PC. You can control your phone on a bigger screen using a mouse and a keyboard. This means, if you're playing PUGB on mobile, you can mirror the game on a PC using ApowerMirror and play it over there.
Sounds good, right? So, here's how you can use it.
1. Download ApowerMirror on your PC and launch it. Then, connect your phone to the computer.
2. If you have an iOS device, you can use the 'Screen Mirroring' option from the Control Center. Once you find an available connection, select it.
3. If you have an Android device, use USB cable or the WiFi feature to set up the connection.
You should see your phone's screen is being mirrored on the PC soon.
This is all we have for this guide. Hope this helps you. For more such guides and how-tos, keep coming back to this space. Also, if you want to share your feedback or any idea that might help us improve your experience with us, drop a line to us in the comment section below.

NCube Corp. v. SeaChange Int'l, Inc.
The Federal Circuit, in nCube Corporation v. SeaChange International, Inc., affirms the trial court's denial of Judgement as a Matter of Law (JMOL) on literal infringement and willfulness, its award of enhanced damages and attorney fees, its grant of JMOL on the jury verdict of infringement under the doctrine of equivalents, and its denial of SeaChange's motion for a new trial.The patent at issue is directed to a method and apparatus for providing multimedia data in a networked system by allowing a client flexible access to various multimedia sources over a network. The finding of infringement by the trial court first addressed the construction of claim 1 of the patent; particularly, the interpretation of the terms governing operation of an \'upstream manager\' and use of addresses in the invention. SeaChange sought to limit the invention to messages routed using only logical addresses, not physical addresses, arguing that the patentee clearly demonstrated this limitation in its specification, even though absent in claim 1 of the patent. The trial court found, contrary to SeaChange's arguments that even though the specification described an embodiment inclusive of the use of logical addresses, claim 1 was broader. It was in dependent claim 2 that the creation of a \'further\' function of the virtual connection appeared, and the use of logical addresses first appeared specifically only in claim 4. Thus, the trial court held that reading the requirement of using only logical addresses into claim 1 would impermissibly read the virtual connection limitation of claim 2 into claim 1, making the claims redundant. The Federal Circuit affirmed the trial court's finding as to claim construction.The Federal Circuit affirmed, as well, the trial court's finding of: 1) willful infringement noting that substantial evidence was presented to the jury that SeaChange manipulated information given to its counsel to ensure an opinion of non-infringement; 2) SeaChange induced infringement by selling systems for use with other equipment with the intent that customers would use the systems to perform the patented method; and 3) the award of enhanced damages based on the finding of willfulness and the Read factors, and the trial court's broad discretion in awarding attorney fees. See Read Corp. v. Portec, Inc., 970 F.2d 816 (Fed. Cir. 1992).The opinion contains a dissent by Judge Dyk of the majority's opinion upholding the verdict of infringement.To read the full text of the decision, log on to http://fedcir.gov/opinions/03-1341.pdf

Oluce Dim 333 floor lamp from Stardust. Designed by Vico Magistretti. Dim Floor Lamp designed by Vico Magistretti, features a double wave shade that seems to float seamlessly on a slender Chrome stem. Available in Black and White. One 300 watt, 120 volt T3Long R7s base halogen or led bulb is required, and included from Stardust. CE listed. 11.8 inch width x 78.8 inch height. Technical Specification Finish: Chrome Shade Color: Black Size: 78.8"H x 11.8"W Dimmer: Incandescent Labels: CE Lamp Source: Halogen Bulb:1 x T3LONG/R7s (RSC)/300W/120V or similar LED.
In 1975, Vico Magistretti seemed to take up a sort of unconscious challenge with Joe Colombo who, a few years before, had designed "?" called "Halogen", for Oluce, a floor lamp supported by a slender rod and a head designed to accommodate a powerful halogen bulb. Vico had the very same brief: the result was the "333" model, called "Dim". This was also supported by a thin rod (the power cord is initially outside), but with a reflector shaped according to a double wave. This poetic "gull-wing" profile, initially surprising in a fixture with a functional matrix, actually characterised Dim forever. Vico Magistretti was born in 1920, in Milan. After taking his architecture degree in 1945, he immediately joined his father Piergiulio's firm. During the war, he met both Gio Ponti, at the Regio Politecnico, and Ernesto N. Rogers in Switzerland. In the post-war period he was actively involved in the reconstruction, both on the theoretical side through the MSA (Movement for Architectural Studies), of which he was one of the founders, and on the practical side with projects for INA-Casa and QT8.
He also actively participated in the Milan Triennial Exhibitions, as supervisor of various sections, as well as winning a gold medal in the 9th edition of 1951, and the Grand Prize (Granpremio) in the 10th edition of 1954. Among his most important architectural work in Milan during this period we can cite the Torre al Parco (1953-56), the Corso Europa office building (1955-57) and the Piazzale Aquilea building (1962-64). There followed a number of villas, including Arosio house in Arenzano (1958), Schubert villa in Ello (1960), Bassetti house in Azzate (1960) and Gardella house in Arenzano (1953). Finally, the apartment building at Piazza San Marco in Milan dates back to 1969-1971. His more recent work includes: the Milan Faculty of Biology (1978-81), Tanimoto house in Tokyo (1985) and the Famagosta Bus Depot in Milan (1989). A prolific designer, he won the price "Compasso d'Oro" in 1967 for the Artemide Eclisse lamp, in 1979 for the Oluce Atollo lamp and for the Cassina Maralunga sofa. He also produced designs for De Padova, Fritz Hansen, Campeggi, Fontana Arte, Fredericia and Kartell. Since 1967 he has been a member of the San Luca Academy and the London Royal College of Art, where he was also visiting professor.

Home Latest News Business Private Equity gets Blockchain technology
Private Equity gets Blockchain technology
Northern Trust delivers blockchain platform for private equity
Peter Cherecwich, President of Corporate & Institutional Services, Northern Trust Corporation
Northern Trust and IBM have announced the first commercial deployment of blockchain technology for the private equity market. The goal is to increase security and transparency of asset management and trading. The solution was jointly developed by Northern Trust and IBM using the open source Hyperledger Fabric.
It is deployed by Unigestion who are based in Geneva, Switzerland. Last month Unigestion merged with Akina taking its total assets under management to over $23 billion. Private equity represents around 25% of this figure.
According to Peter Cherecwich, president of Corporate & Institutional Services at Northern Trust: "Current legal and administrative processes that support private equity are time consuming and expensive. A lack of transparency and efficient market practices leads to lengthy, duplicative and fragmented investment and administration processes. Northern Trust's solution is designed to deliver a significantly enhanced and efficient approach to private equity administration."
What does this solution deliver?
This is a platform for fund managers. It will potentially make it much easier for them to focus on profitability of the fund without breaching investor restrictions. For example, an investor may put a sum of money into the fund with a restriction on the type of asset it can be used for. That could be based on country, religion or ethical reasons.
At present fund managers spend a lot of time ensuring that funds are correctly allocated. This is not just a problem with administration but also impacts regulatory compliance. Northern Trust says that it has developed the solution with the support of both local and international regulators.
This is a big deal. If they are happy with how it works and it delivers both the claimed reduction in paperwork and increase in transparency Unigestion will gain an edge over other funds. It is not just the regulators who will welcome this. Investors will now have greater transparency over how their investments are allocated. For those with key restrictions on use of funds, this is good news that corporate shareholders will also welcome.
Can Northern Trust simplify investment in multiple funds?
There is another benefit here to investors. At present, they have to track every fund using a separate interface. Northern Trust is saying that it will make this platform available to other funds it works with. As a result, an investor could use a single blockchain ID across all instances of the platform. This will give them a single view as to how and where their funds are being used. Northern Trust has not revealed whether this is possible though.
This approach will also put pressure on fund managers to clean up their act. If investors can see where their money is invested in real time they may decide not to renew investments or even withdraw funds. As shareholder activism increases, this could result in companies having to provide more information about funds in which pensions, for example, are invested. The ramifications of this platform will take time to become clear but they are likely to be far reaching.
The private equity market is wholly dependent on the amount of money a fund can raise. If Investors gain real time visibility of where their fund managers are investing their money it could have a significant impact. If funds invest counter to investor wishes, stated or even unstated, they may choose to invest additional assets elsewhere or even withdraw funds.
That last sanction is often a last resort as there are often penalties. Fund management companies will need to review complaint procedures and contracts as investors may look to raise a higher level of complaints given the added transparency. However some funds will see this as an advantage to create an open and honest dialogue with customers and it will remove some of the secrecy in the industry. Additionally, this level of transparency will allow investors to balance the return on their investment against their ethical concerns.
Delivering this as a platform is a smart move by Northern Trust. It allows them to sell it to other funds and build a reputation for market innovation. It is also a clever use of blockchain in a finite environment and will see its reputation grow within financial institutions.

Homemade, at least the way Self does it, fills you up without filling you out, but it takes an hour to make. Freeze the leftovers for quick meals that are more healthful than most of the ones you find in the freezer section of the supermarket.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a medium-sized nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Sauté onion for 2 minutes, then add turkey and cook an additional 5 to 7 minutes. Add tomato sauce, all seasonings and mushrooms and simmer 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat. In a bowl, combine spinach, ricotta, and nutmeg. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cool water. Coat a 9" x 13" baking pan with cooking spray. Arrange 1/3 lasagna noodles (3 noodles) on the bottom of the pan. Spread a layer of ricotta mixture, then turkey mixture, then 1/3 mozzarella. Repeat layers, ending with mozzarella. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until cheese bubbles. Cool at least 5 minutes before cutting.
The sauce for this is great and can be used in several dishes. It is an excellent healthy option when you are in the mood for italian!
I really like this meal - it is the perfect lasagna if you are craving lasagna, but want to be spared the calories. I used Italian spiced turkey burger and it was perfect.
I found this recipe when trying to use up leftover turkey burgers from a BBQ. It was easy, very tasty and pretty healthy for lasagna. The whole wheat noodles are great - they have a good texture and flavor. I took a poster's advice to saute the mushrooms on the side then add the meat once all the water was absorbed and this helped it not get soggy. I also added chopped fresh basil to the spinach, but I'm not sure if it helped; for once I think dried would have been better. The fat free ricotta tastes great and fresh nutmeg made all the difference. I also shaved parmesan on top of the cheese before baking. Great dish, I will make it again!
I was dubious about the flavor and found this to be a wonderful dish. I added red pepper flakes which gave it a slight kick. Big hit.
Followed recipe to the T. Didn't find it soggy one bit. In fact, I will probably add a bit more tomato sauce next time. It was a total hit though...served with Olive Bread and a Fennel/Blood Orange Salad over Proscuitto. YUMMMM Guests were totally satiated!
Used all fresh ingredients (spices too) but what was great in flavour was lacking in overall appeal. The dish was a bit soggy. Perfect when reheat though.
So delicious I make two at a time and freeze one (in pieces) for quick, healthy weeknight meals. Serve it with garlic bread..mmmmm!! A few modifications: fry the mushrooms on their own until all liquid evaporates, then add to the meat after it's browned; skip the dry and add fresh basil to the spinach layer instead; sprinkle a bit of grated parmesan before the mozzarella; use the nutmeg nut!
I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't made it and eaten it myself. I was dubious that FF ricotta could taste good, but mixed with the spinach and the nutmeg (which makes it taste almost sweet -- 1/4 tsp is all you need), it was hearty and delicious. Like many other reviewers, I added fresh garlic (4ish cloves) and fresh basil chopped with the spinach. And I confess I upped the mozz to 3 cups and sprinkled a bit of parmesan on the top.
We made this using both spinach and chard that we got from our CSA, and it was fantastic! My husband said it's the best lasagna we've every made-- and he was pretty proud of the previous recipes. The one complaint is that with all the veg, the lasagna was quite watery. And we even used no-boil noodles. I'm sure we'll be eating this throughout the summer.
I made this with full-fat ricotta and full-fat mozzarella, which probably influences my rating, but maybe not so much. The meat layer was very tasty - I thought it was better than ground beef. Also, I really liked that the spinach stayed bright green (because you don't pre-cook it), and there's a lot of it. It's not like a lot of spinach lasagnes that just have a token layer of spinach.
I added a touch of extra sauce, then added a little water to the jar to thin it and curb the added sodium. I used 1.5 times the amount of low fat instead of FF ricotta. By serving 12 pieces instead of 8 I was still able to enjoy the extra creaminess without feeling guilty. It's my new favorite lasagna recipe!
I made this last night and it was really excellent. Needless to say I used a ton of fresh herbs instead of just garlic powder, and added about two cups of fresh basil to the ricotta mixture since I had it on hand. Also took the advice on making more sauce - initially I thought I had way too much but when I started spooning it in, I realized I could have used even more. I'd say go 150% on the sauce, volume-wise. Really easy for a lasagna and no too cheesy.
I thought this turned out good but needed more sauce. The first time I made it I followed the recipe, and the second time I added another cup of sauce, and it turned out perfect! Boyfriend loved it.
Really love this recipe. Very easy to make your own and change up depending on what you have in the fridge. Agree with most reviewers and add more spices and loads of fresh garlic. Otherwise go nuts and use what's available.
Good recipe! I just made it for the first time today, and will definitely be making again. I did change one thing; substituted a 10oz. box chopped spinach (thawed and drained) for the fresh. Very tasty lasagna!
I also forgot! i used regular noodles (i.e. not oven-ready), but didn't boil them. the moisture and heat in the oven was enough to cook the noodles perfectly.
great lasagna. got my green-averse roommate to chow down on spinach. i used about 12oz of cheese. i also froze the lasagna before cooking it.
Great recipe! Added more spices than the recipe required as well as a chipotle while the turkey mixture simmered. I had never made lasagna before and was a little unsure, but this recipe is really quite easy.
This recipe is always a hit in my house- my husband LOVES it! I usually try to make it with the whole wheat noodles, but sometimes if time doesn't permit, I use the regular oven-ready ones (haven't seen whole wheat oven-ready noodles- if you have, please let me know where you got them). I always use more sauce than the recipe calls for. I like getting the onion nice and thin, so I use the food processor to chop it up (good for people like my father-in-law who like onions but not in their sauce). SELF delivers again!
Great recipe. The whole family loved it, even the kids. They loved the taste and didn't even think of asking what it was made with. This was my first time making lasagna and didn't feel overwhelmed. Will defenitely make it again.
So I was I looking for a healthy alternative to fatty lasagna, a recipe that both my husband and I would both love. I decided to take the advice of a few of the reviewers as well as add my own flair. I made the mixture much larger than what the recipe calls for. Bigger is better, right??? I added a little more than double the spices, I used 1 TBS. of fresh garlic, 1 full 24 oz. container of LOW FAT ricotta, 1 20 oz pack of extra lean ground turkey, 1 pack of spicey turkey sausage, 2 jars spicey pasta sauce, probably 2 cups of shitake mushrooms, 1.5 cups of shredded butternut squash, 2 cups of shoe string carrots, 1 zuccini, and a full bunch of red swiss chard. I also used whole wheat noodles. This is AMAZING! My husband LOVED it! I loved it!
Good, not great. Added the extra spices and fresh garlic. Needs salt. My husband and 3 year old ate it up though, so it is very good.
Excellent! Definitely double the spices - I went a little overboard on the red pepper flakes, but the spiciness was good. I added chopped up uncooked zucchini to the meat mixture when it was almost done. Any vegetable would work. I used a little less ricotta with the spinach, and although it looked like a very uneven combination it turned out perfectly. I've had it for every meal this week - and it's still great!
Excellent recipe! I doubled the spices, as suggested, and added real garlic. Next time, I would avoid doubling the nutmeg, as it was a little too strong.

The case for self-sovereign personal AI
Adrian Gropper, MD
CTO, Patient Privacy Rights Foundation
Friday, September 13, 2019 - 1:30pm to 2:30pm
Newell-Simon Hall 1305 (Michael Mauldin Auditorium)
Seminar Video
Whether it's a smartphone that filters notifications or a brain implant that manages a neurological problem, connected personal technology tests the definition and limits of "self." Our human identity is a combination of attributes managed by ourselves and attributes that relate to us but are managed by others, often without our knowledge or informed consent.
Today, there is no practical way to evaluate requests for use of our personal data, nor clear solution for designers who wish to incorporate privacy management at the core of their products and services. At a time when platforms such as Facebook are under scrutiny for how they use personal data, a self-sovereign agent can begin to rectify the vast asymmetry of power between the platform and the data subject.
Self-sovereign agent technology has a fiduciary relationship with the human subject that mirrors the relationship a physician has with a patient. Identity that is exposed by a self-sovereign agent is designed to minimize the leakage of personal information as individuals engage with other people and entities, both public and private. However, the cost of managing personal information "manually" for each of the dozens and hundreds of entities we encounter every week is unsustainable. Therefore, individuals need a way to automate the vast majority of decisions that are directly linked to their identity, inviting the integration of AI as a decision agent into the design of human-computer systems. Machine learning could balance the social intent with the privacy of interactions that we typically reserve for our real-time, conscious selves in a conversation.
It could be argued that privacy is now a limiting factor in computer science. This talk is about the interaction between self-sovereign identity and self-sovereign technology standards using examples from health records and "connected home" IoT devices.
Speaker's Bio
Adrian Gropper, MD is CTO of the non-profit Patient Privacy Rights Foundation where he brings training as an engineer from MIT and physician from Harvard Medical School followed by a career as a medical device entrepreneur. He founded three regulated medical diagnostics businesses including AMICAS, the first Web-based radiology image network and the first to provide imaging links in electronic health records.

Back in September, a baby two-headed copperhead snake (Agkistrodon contortrix) was found in a woman's flowerbed in Virginia. JD Kleopfer, a herpetologist with the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries said at the time that the snake was exceptionally rare and never saw anything like it in the 30 years he has studied snakes.
Kleopfer posted news about the snake's passing on social media early this week "Sad news. Our little buddy peacefully passed away last week. No apparent reason, just found dead one morning."
Kleopfer said that snake keepers who care for tw-headed snakes told him that sharing a body stresses the animal, especially the spine because the heads often times want to move in different directions.
The snake had two heads but a single heart, and one set of lungs. Both heads appeared to be capable of venom delivery.
Another baby two-headed copperhead snake was found in Kentucky last month. That snake is at the Salato Wildlife Education Center.
Copperhead snakes can be found throughout much of the Eastern Seaboard, from southern New England to Maryland and westward to northern Alabama and southern Illinois. The species grows to about 2½ feet in length and sometimes reach 4 feet. They live from 12-20 years and feed on ground dwelling birds, small rodents, amphibians and lizards. It is a venomous species and has been documented to reproduce via parthenogenesis, a process whereby a female animal gives birth without having her eggs fertilized by a male.

She's passionate about the use of the media for educating society. After being an intern of the Ecuadorian Ministry of Education, she acknowledged that the youth of her country is not prepared yet to produce and evaluate content on digital media. In considering how online environments influence youths to express identities that can be controversial in physical spaces, she focused attention on studying adolescents' risky behaviors in social media. At the end of her exciting adventure in the United States, she is expecting to conduct research for the Ministry of Education of her country in order to determine new ways to introduce the use of the Internet and digital technologies for educational purposes in the schools of Ecuador.
Kristina Elhauge was born in Boston, MA, and lived in Newton until going away to Phillips Exeter Academy in NH where she graduated in 2014. While at PEA, Kristina founded the Feminist Union, a activist group and weekly open forum for students to discuss gender inequality issues both on campus and global. The group quickly rose to become one of the most widely attended and discussed groups on campus, using social media as a means of spreading ideas, especially in the case of the March 2014 campaign "PEA Needs Feminism" — a tumblr page where students submitted photos of hand-written signs on why feminism was important to them, in the style of the Who Needs Feminism project. The campaign sparked so much discussion that Feminist Union was eventually named Club of the Year for the 2013-2014 school year. From her experiences with social media activism, and how media interacts with culture, Kristina is interested in how the media both reflects reveals the current state of social issues while providing a space to effectively catalyze change. She is going to Columbia University in the fall, where she hopes to major in Film Studies and Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies.

The veteran was a 3 decade military veteran, who fought not only in Thailand during the Vietnam War, but also fought in the first Gulf War.
The problems first began with a VSO who advised the survivor that veterans who served in Thailand during the Vietnam War were not exposed to Agent Orange; based on this unmistakeably wrong "advice", the survivor was denied DIC and accrued benefits.
After retaining Attig | Steel to take over the battle from a VSO who did not know the current veterans law, the VA continued to drag its heels and ignored the survivor's pleas for help, even as she lost her family home and nearly became homeless.
Attig Steel had to file a petition for writ of mandamus to get the VA and BVA to act.
The BVA granted DIC - Dependency and Indemnity Compensation, or sometimes generally referred to as service connection of the cause of death. However, they continued to deny accrued benefits to the surviving spouse for her late husband's colon cancer, first present during military service.
The BVA also found that the now deceased veteran had withdrawn a claim for SMC (Special Monthly Compensation) based on his need for aid and attendance. The record showed that the VA misled the veteran into thinking he was receiving the benefit, and failed to follow the strict procedures under which a veteran might withdraw a case or claim.
The BVA decision denying survivor accrued benefits was remanded, as was the BVA decision that the veteran withdrew his claim for SMC based on Aid & Attendance.
The Attig | Steel firm is committed to working with this survivor to help her recover her accrued benefits on remand to the BVA and VA Regional Office.
UPDATE: This survivor was granted accrued benefits and SMC for a number of conditions with open and pending claims at the time of the veteran's death. Attig | Steel continues to work with the survivor to ensure that the VA provides the earliest possible effective date the record supports.


Location, location, location. If one factor can make or break a MICE event it's where it is hosted. When deciding on a destination, meeting planners have many factors to take into consideration ranging from the types of venues on offer to leisure offerings. Macao is one destination that ticks all the boxes, and this year it has upped the ante in the MICE game again.
Macau's strategic location gives it an edge over the rest. Sea, land and air connections give millions of visitors easy access to the SAR, with Hong Kong located a one-hour ferry ride away, not to mention easy access from Mainland China through the Zhuhai Boarder Gate. Macau is also a visa-free destination for residents of more than 70 countries, adding ease of entry for visiting delegates to the plus column.
When searching for a location that can host large-scale MICE events, the Cotai Strip is the place to go. Located just 10 minutes from the airport and ferry terminal, the strip is home to the largest hotel in the city, Sheraton Grand Macao Hotel. On top of offering 4,001 guest rooms, the hotel also features the 4,891-square-metre pillar-less Kashgar Ballroom which can accommodate a staggering 5,000 guests.
Portuguese heritage marries with Chinese tradition in Macau, providing a rich and colourful destination for delegates to explore as well as offering a range of great options for planners to create inventive incentive or team building activities. Just 20 minutes from the Cotai Strip, delegates can enjoy classic Cantonese cuisine amidst stunning European architecture in Macau's UNESCO world heritage site, where historic cathedrals are juxtaposed with old Chinese shop houses.
When it comes to events, it's never one size fits all. Meeting planners who are seeking flexible meeting facilities can choose between a variety of venue spaces in Macau, ranging from laid- back poolside venues to elegant ballrooms, all with direct access from the hotel's guest rooms. At the Sheraton Grand Macao Hotel, three diverse pool decks offer over 12,000 square metres of event space as well as private cabanas. While at The St. Regis Macao, the Astor Ballroom, which can seat up to 610 guests, gives events a luxurious feel. The hotel's seamless connection with Sheraton Grand Macao makes it an ideal choice for VIPs and for intimate, high-end events.
While it's not the top of the list for meeting planners when choosing a destination, it's always a plus when delegates have plenty of ways to stay entertained during their free time. Dubbed the "Vegas of the East," it should come as no shock that Macau boasts dozens of different shows, performances and live entertainment that will keep delegates occupied and entertained. And on top of offering a variety of shows and performances, Macau is also a shopper's paradise thanks to the more than 850 duty-free outlets on the Cotai Strip.
Meeting planners who are really looking to impress can give VIPs the high-roller treatment. The St. Regis Macao, for example, offers the ultimate in indulgence with their signature St. Regis Butler Service. From unpacking and pressing clothing to providing all-day beverages, delegates will feel like royalty from check-in to check-out.
Planners are always looking to trim a few extra dollars from budgets, and destinations like Macau can help them do just that. Hotels and resorts are increasingly looking towards the MICE industry to help give them the edge in a very competitive marketplace. As such, fantastic promotions and competitive rates are available, including the "Smart Meetings" offer from Sheraton Grand Macao Hotel and The St. Regis Macao, where planners can pick from a range of perks including 5% off the master bill, complimentary rooms and upgrades, 20% off audio-visual equipment rental, 50% off ferry tickets and 50% off entertainment.

Many farms have a wide variety of building needs. Steel is a great option for any building type from equipment storage to livestock. Tough and able to accommodate a multitude of configurations, steel offers resistance to corrosion in high humidity that can cause rot over time in wood structure. What's your application? We can help!


We had a tornado watch around south Edmonton area last night as we sat in the motorhome watching TV. There were plenty of dark, threatening clouds all around us but thankfully all we got was a few rain showers. Looks like it is shaping up for another tornado watch this evening too. The same dark clouds all around us and they showed several reports of funnel clouds on the news hour just now as well. So far so good though.
This morning the sun was actually shining when we awoke so we quickly changed and headed out for our daily power walk. We followed the pathway past the Off Leash Dog Park and Telford Lake eventually adding an extra kilometer to our usual walk, 7 km in total. Of course I just had to stop and grab a few photos with my iPhone. Telford Lake is quite scenic and according to the signs posted on the boardwalk is only 5 ft deep. It is quite popular for canoes and kayaks and they even have lanes marked in the water for racing. You can see Telford Lake in these photos.
Chris went to pick up Sarah in the Vue and they grabbed lunch downtown. Looks like they may have a lead on a new apartment for the kids too. I stayed at Phaeton Place trying to sort out why my Seagate GoFlex 1 TB external hard drive is no longer being recognized by either of our laptops. The Seagate community forum shows quite a few people reporting similar problems. I'm running a program right now called Power Data Recovery that was suggested to me on the forum as a possible way to recover my data. PDR at least sees my drive and is scanning it for errors which is more than I could do before. PDR is also a free program for home users, so if you ever have data recovery problems maybe check it out.
So after this data recovery episode, I am seriously looking at some type of redundant network storage for Phaeton Place especially for all my photographs. I checked into Drobos but they are just too big for the motorhome. I've settled on a Synology DiskStation DS211+ NAS Server with two Western Digital 2 TB SATA drives installed. These drives are removable and can be easily exchanged for new drives of the same or bigger size. I've ordered one online through a company in Mississauga and am hoping to have it by next week. More later on that one.

great photos..love the canoe filled with flowers!!
Dang, I didn't want to read about your Seagate. I am by no means at your level of expertise. But, I'm trying to be faithful at backing up my family photos. I have burned most of them to dvds. I also had an iOmega portable hard drive that died just this past week (it wouldn't mount on any of my computers or one at Best Buy). So, the guy at Best Buy recommended I try Seagate. I bought 2 500Gig portable drives. One for Time Machine and a second one that I will be using just to back up photos and other documents. If one back up drive is good, 2 must be better. I would rather the drives had no moving parts, but I don't think they make a 500 Gig memory stick. We don't full time, so the drives need to be portable. The person I talked to at the Apple Store said iCloud is likely to be 5 Gigs per person. But, how many back ups are enough I wonder. Never can have too many, I guess. I have now bookmarked the Power Data Recovery site. It might even bring back the iOmega drive. Or not.

Brady welcomes the reopening of 20 beds at the closed Wicklow District Hospital in Wicklow Town
Wicklow Sinn Féin TD John Brady has welcomed the reopening of 20 beds in Wicklow District Hospital in Wicklow Town. The HSE has confirmed to Deputy Brady that Wicklow District Hospital is currently being refurbished to fit out twenty social care beds for Covid related activity. Wicklow District Hospital closed in 2010 following a report from HIQA which outlined minor works that were needed in the Hospital.
Speaking after he received confirmation of the hospitals reopening Deputy Brady said "It's really positive news that Wicklow District Hospital which has been closed for the last 10 years is to have twenty social care beds reopened for Covid related activity. Sections of the hospital have already been reopened as a Covid test centre and refurbishment work is ongoing to have the twenty beds brought online for Covid related activity."
"In 2010 Wicklow District Hospital closed down, this was despite a massive community campaign to try keep it open. Ultimately it was a political decision of the then Fianna Fáil/Green government that allowed the hospital to close. They hid behind a report from HIQA which showed that minor works were needed in the hospital. Evidence was shown at the time that the work could be done quickly and economically to ensure the hospital could remain open."
"The fact that twenty beds in the hospital are reopening is great news, however it severely exposes the false reasons that were used to close it in 2010. The reality is the current minor refurbishment works in the hospital could and should have been carried out in 2010. The only thing that stopped it was the political will."
"Once these beds are reopened we must ensure that they remain open into the future and that they are not closed post Covid. Having the hospital open in Wicklow Town has always been a major benefit to the community and the political will must be there to ensure that it's not pulled from the community again."

The College of Law offers a number of opportunities for students to engage with each other and the community.
The College of Law offers and supports various ways for students to engage with each other, faculty, and the community.
The Forum: A Tennessee Student Legal Journal
Tennessee Journal of Law & Policy
The Tennessee Journal of Race, Gender & Social Justice
Tennessee Law Review
Transactions: The Tennessee Journal of Business Law
Students in a judicial externship work as judicial clerks for state and federal trial and appellate judges. An intensive orientation includes a study of judicial decision-making, judicial ethics, and opinion writing. Students are then assigned to work with the criminal, circuit, and chancery courts in Knox County and neighboring counties, or with the Tennessee appellate courts. Externs assist the judges by conducting research, writing case memoranda, and drafting judicial orders and opinions.
The judicial externship is a four-credit hour course.
Prosecutorial Externship
Students in the prosecutorial externship are placed in either the Knox County District Attorney's Office or the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Tennessee. The student externs work under the supervision of experienced assistant district attorneys or assistant U.S. attorneys to prosecute actual cases on behalf of the offices.
Public Defender Externship
Students in the Public Defender Externship are placed in either the Knox County Public Defender's Community Law Office or the Federal Defender's Office for the Eastern District of Tennessee. The student externs work under the supervision of experienced assistant public defenders and appear regularly in court on behalf of their clients.
Students in the prosecutorial and public defender externships handle all phases of criminal proceedings, including:
pretrial factual and legal investigation
case development and strategy
witness and client interviews
pretrial motions hearings
plea negotiations
trial and sentencing
To participate in the prosecutorial or public defender externships, students must have taken the Evidence course and must have taken or be taking Professional Responsibility. Both externships are six-credit hour courses, offered in both fall and spring semesters.
Field Placements
Students have the opportunity to participate in field placements with local non-profit entities and business ventures on a for-credit basis during the academic year and in the summer. Field placement opportunities are offered in conjunction with the Clayton Center for Entrepreneurial Law and have included working with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Y-12 National Security Complex, and UT Athletics.
Students have the opportunity to deepen their legal knowledge, strengthen their lawyering skills, and grow their professional experience through our legal clinics. Our clinical faculty guide, mentor, and challenge students while also assisting them in gaining expertise in clinical scholarship.
As a national leader in clinical education, the UT Legal Clinic ranks 9th in U.S. News and World Report's top legal clinical programs among public universities and is 20th among all U.S. law schools.
Semester in Residence
The Semester in Residence is designed to provide students with an immersive, capstone educational experience in their area of interest during the final semester of law school. Students are partnered with employers who are uniquely suited to the student's interest. Students must complete 30 hours of work per week, or a total of 450 hours throughout the semester, under the guidance of an on-site supervisor. Students earn 10 hours of course credit through their placement and two hours of credit in a seminar that is offered in Nashville.
We understand no lawyer is an island. The College of Law offers students not only a strong base in international law in the classroom, but also several opportunities to visit and study abroad. These studies lead to a richer legal education and a more well-rounded student experience.
Second- or third-year students who desire to take law courses abroad during the summer for transfer credit at the College of Law may do so, provided the program and courses they plan to take are approved in advance. The summer program must be sponsored by an approved American law school using, in substantial part, law professors from the United States. No more than 8 semester hours may be earned for transfer credit at UT Law. Grades received in summer foreign programs will not be transferred.
Cambridge, England
The Cambridge Study Abroad Program, fully accredited by the American Bar Association, gives students the opportunity to study and live at Downing College of Cambridge University. Coordinated by the University of Mississippi School of Law, partner schools include UT Law, the University of Arkansas-Fayetteville School of Law, and the University of Nebraska College of Law.
Students and professors from UT Law have been traveling to England for the Cambridge Summer Session for more than a decade. UT Law faculty who have recently taught in the program include professors Joan Heminway and Paula Williams.
More information about the program, including expenses, eligibility, curriculum and applications, may be found at the Cambridge Study Abroad Program site.
The Chinese Law Summer Program, hosted by Renmin University of China Law School and fully accredited by the ABA, offers a four-week, five-credit option or a two-week, two-credit summer study. The Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law coordinates the program, which partners with UT Law, Boston College Law School, the University of Minnesota Law School, and the University of Oklahoma College of Law.
Courses are taught in English. Most instruction takes place in the mornings, leaving afternoons free for study, sightseeing in Beijing, or language instruction.
Learn more about the program here.
The Rio de Janeiro foreign study program partners with the Fundação Getulio Vargas Faculty of Law ("FGV Direito-Rio"), one of the best law faculties in Brazil. Organized by Tulane University Law School, the program focuses on comparative perspectives of law and international development.
The program is designed to offer a maximum degree of flexibility for students to earn either 3 or 6 credits in the study of law and international development. The five-week program permits students to take one or two sessions, each lasting two and a half weeks. With this two-session format, the program offers students who work or have family commitments the option to visit and study for short periods of time. For students who can visit for an entire month, the program allows students to profit from intensive study and have brief breaks to explore Rio as they wish.
More information may be found on the program's website.

Carl Schimmel, Composer
Praised by The New York Times as "vivid and dramatic," the music of Carl Schimmel is dense with literary and musical references, often humorous, and combines intensity of expression with a structural rigor which is influenced in part by his mathematics background. In weaving his musical narratives from poetry, art, and even unusual words, he strives to construct emotional and culturally complex sound worlds that excite the listener's imagination. His recent honors include a 2018 Guggenheim Fellowship, a 2018 commission from Harvard University's Fromm Foundation, and the 2017 Goddard Lieberson Fellowship from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. His music has been awarded Columbia University's Joseph Bearns Prize, the Lee Ettelson Award, the First Music Award, and the Emil and Ruth Beyer Award, and he has received residencies at Yaddo, the MacDowell Colony, Copland House, and the Bogliasco Foundation. His compositions have been performed in Carnegie Hall's Weill Hall, Merkin Hall in New York, Severance Hall in Cleveland, the National Arts Centre in Ottawa, St. Martin-in-the-Fields in London, Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis, and at other venues throughout North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia. Ensembles which have commissioned or performed his works include the American Composers Orchestra, the Minnesota Orchestra, the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra, the California EAR Unit, the Left Coast Chamber Ensemble, Alarm Will Sound, the Da Capo Chamber Players, and many others. His music has been recorded on various labels, including Navona Records, Albany Records, and New Focus Recordings. A graduate of Duke University (Ph.D.), the Yale School of Music (M.M.), and Case Western Reserve University (B.A. Mathematics and Music), he is Associate Professor of Music Theory and Composition at Illinois State University in Normal, IL.
