Student Perspectives
February 24, 2015
Global Discovery, an academic experience that is part of the FT MBA program, is one of the highlights of the 2nd year. All students go abroad for two weeks to better understand business experiences around the world. This year, students could go to Chile/Argentina, China, or UAE/Oman. I was able to go on the Chile/Argentina trip, and without a doubt, spending two weeks between those countries was not enough time! Even though we were in each country for only a week, we were able to immerse ourselves into the Argentinian and Chilean cultures quickly. We truly enjoyed and appreciated everything they had to offer. Everyone that we met from both countries was extremely kind, helpful, and hospitable. The desert climate was so welcoming to our Midwestern, frozen bodies that we didn't want to leave!
Explore the MBA Program
Fit is important. We have several ways for you to explore the Carlson Full-Time MBA program further:
- Visit Class: Sit in on a class session, meet current students, and experience what our Full-Time MBA program is really like.
- Talk with a Student or Alumnus: They know better than anyone what it is really like to do the program and will give you an honest account of the highlights and challenges of being a Full-Time MBA student.
- Meet with Us: Our staff are eager to talk with you one on one, whether it be over the phone or in person to help you get the information that you need to make this important decision.

Robustness of Cantor Diffractals |
Optics Express, Vol. 21, Issue 7, pp. 7951-7956 (2013)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (731 KB)
Diffractals are electromagnetic waves diffracted by a fractal aperture. In an earlier paper, we reported an important property of Cantor diffractals, that of redundancy [R. Verma et. al., Opt. Express 20, 8250 (2012)]. In this paper, we report another important property, that of robustness. The question we address is: How much disorder in the Cantor grating can be accommodated by diffractals to continue to yield faithfully its fractal dimension and generator? This answer is of consequence in a number of physical problems involving fractal architecture.

Do any of you guys have a Dell Inspiron 530? Got a tech question for ya. When i turn on the power the fan comes on and then i hear a beep. Then everything boots up normal. In the online manual guide theres beep codes that tells of a problem.
1 repetitive beep= A bad bios checksum something. Mines just a single beep, not repetitive. I called Dell twice and they said it was normal. Which i think is right because everything boots up beautifully. I guess i'm just being paranoid.
Do you you guys get a beep?

On Dec. 20, 2013, the UK Office of Fair Trading (OFT) opened a consultation on revised commitments proposed by Booking.com B.V. (Booking.com), Expedia Inc (Expedia) and InterContinental Hotels Group plc (IHG) designed to address competition concerns in relation to the online offering of room-only hotel accommodation bookings by online travel agents (OTAs).
Upon law suit filed by a federal consumer association, the German Supreme Court has regarded contractual provisions unfair and illegal which allowed the tour organizer to alter the flying times. The "General Conditions of Contract" of the defendant had contained the following provision:
"Final flying times will be communicated by the organzier in the travel vouchers. Any information on flying times provided by a travel agent is not binding."
In a recent decision, the Austrian Supreme Court (OGH) has filed a reference for preliminary ruling to the CJEU with regard to Regulation (EC) No 785/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 April 2004 on insurance requirements for air carriers and aircraft operators and the Montreal Convention.
The 2013 airliner accident statistics released by the Aviation Safety Network on January 1, 2014 shows a record low total of 265 airliner accident fatalities, as a result of 29 fatal airliner accidents. Thus, the year 2013 was a very safe year for commercial aviation: the number of fatalities is significantly lower than the ten-year average of 720 fatalities. Three out of 29 accident airplanes (10%) were operated by airlines on the E.U. "black list" as opposed to three out of 23 (13%) the year before.
In its judgement of Nov. 27, 2013, in case Bull and another v Hall and another [2013] UKSC 73, the UK Supreme Court held that a same sex couple had been directly discriminated against because of their sexual orientation when they were refused a double room in a hotel. For religious reasons, Mr and Mrs Bull, the hotel owners, only permitted married couples to share a double room in their hotel and did not recognise civil partnership as equivalent to marriage.
On Dec. 9, 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court has denied a request to review an Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that affirmed the order of a Florida federal court refusing to vacate its November 2007 dismissal of a wrongful-death and strict-liability suit on forum non conveniens grounds. The heirs to victims of a 2005 West Caribbean Airways crash in Venezuela during a flight from Panama to Martinique had claimed that their suit against the air carrier was improperly dismissed because it left them without a forum to litigate the case.
In April 2003, the plaintiff stayed at the defendant's hotel. When using the shower she caught a legionella infection which led into a pneumonia. The reason for the contamination of the bathing water was an insufficient circulation speed which made the water cool down to a temperature that stimulated the reprduction of legionella bacteria. Up to (at least) March 2003, the hotelier had engaged a plumber to take care of the maintenance of the water pipe system.
On January 14, 2011, Ashlyn O'Hara was a passenger on Air Canada Flight AC878 from Toronto to Zurich. During the flight, the First Officer went to sleep for approximately 75 minutes. When the First Officer awoke, the Captain informed him that a United States Air Force Boeing C-17 had appeared as a traffic alert and collision avoidance system target on the flight's navigational display. The Captain apprised the First Officer of this traffic.
The plaintiff, a general medical practitioner, claimed damages for personal injuries allegedly sustained whilst travelling on an international flight between Australia and the United States of America on 9 December 2008. He alledged that his seat did not fully recline and that the passengers seated in the row immediately in front of him kept their seats reclined the entire flight. In the leg room space that would otherwise have been fully available to the plaintiff below the seat immediately in front of him, there was positioned an audio-visual box occupying part of that space.
"Fáilte Ireland" is the National Tourism Development Authority of Ireland. The authority was established under the National Tourism Development Authority Act of 2003. Fáilte Ireland has sub-contracted its accommodation registration assessment and classification functions to Tourist Accommodation Management Services Ltd (TAMS). An article by Mason Hayes & Curran published Dec. 3, 2013 on "Lexology" provides information on the classifcation procedure and the mandatory registration of hotels.

La Velle E. Neal III has covered baseball for the Star Tribune since 1998 (the post-Knoblauch era). Born and raised in Chicago, he grew up following the White Sox and hating the Cubs. He attended both the University of Illinois and Illinois-Chicago and began his baseball writing career at the Kansas City Star. He can be heard occasionally on KFAN radio, lending his great baseball mind to Paul Allen and other hosts. Mark Rosen borrows him occasionally for WCCO-TV.
Phil Miller covered three seasons of Twins baseball, but that was at a different ballpark for a different newspaper. Now Miller returns to the baseball beat after joining the Star Tribune as the Gopher football writer in 2010, and he won't miss the dingy dome for a minute. In addition to the Twins and Gophers, Miller covered the Utah Jazz and the NBA for six years at The Salt Lake Tribune.
The Twins had a short workout today then took off for the afternoon. After some mistakes on Thursday, things went more smoothly on Friday. We'll see how it all turns out on Saturday when Kevin Correia hooks up with Orioles lefty Zach Britton in the spring training opener.
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire was asked if his team got all the signs down pat, something they worked on Friday.
``We sure hope so,'' he said, ``We'll wait and see once the games start. We have gone over enough with them. They have gotten their final tuneup and tomorrow we will see what happens. Hopefully they will all remember it out there. Take our time with it and slow down and make sure they get them. There shouldn't be too many signs put on in spring training. They should be out there hitting the ball and getting as many at-bats as they can.''
On his expectations for Correia: ``Just go out and get his work in. He's been there and done that. Not overthrow the ball. Pitch to contact and get a couple of innings in. Get his work done, get his pitches in and work on the process of arm strength.''
Warning about Correia: He has a career spring training ERA of 5,75.
Ryan Pressly, Luis Perdomo, Tyler Robertson,Josh Roenicke and Tim Wood are on the list to pitch as well.
The catchers: Doumit, Butera, Hermmann, Pinto
Infielders: Florimon, Dozier, Beresford, Colabello, Clement, Escobar, Rosario, Santana, Sobolewski.
Outfielders: Willingham, Parmelee, Dinkelman, Mastroianni, Boggs, Thomas.
See you then!
Caleb Thielbar survived his batting practice session against Joe Mauer, Josh Willingham and Justin Morneau. ``I kept the ball down, I thought it might have been a little too down,'' Thielbar said. ``I wasn't really throwing my offspeed for strikes, but it was just my third time out facing hitters.''
That's for all the Randolph, Mn folks and the Jackrabbit Nation who have been on me for Thielbar updates.
Deibinson Romero's US arrival remains on hold, but he's scheduled to have a meeting in Santo Domingo late next week and could get his visa then, He's been working out at the Twins' Dominican headquarters while waiting his turn. Heard he's about to start playing games there, so he won't be totally out of shape when he reports.
TwinsCentric: Where will Miguel Sano play?
The young slugger seems increasingly unlikely to stick at third.

Vikings rule Peterson out for Sunday's finale
The Minnesota Vikings have ruled out running back Adrian Peterson for their final game of the season.
The Vikings announced Saturday they downgraded Peterson from doubtful on the original injury report to out against Detroit Sunday, when the Vikings and Lions will play the last game at the Metrodome.
Peterson sprained his right foot Dec. 8 at Baltimore and sat out the following week against Philadelphia. He played last Sunday at Cincinnati but was mostly ineffective. Peterson acknowledged afterward the injury affected his performance. He has also been bothered this year by a sore groin.
Peterson finished the season with 1,266 yards rushing, the second-lowest total of his seven years in the NFL.

Enquiring Minds: Inattentive Driving
Watch out if you're driving through O'Fallon, Missouri. You might get stopped by a cop for "inattentive driving."
Watch out if you're driving through O'Fallon, Missouri. You might get stopped by a cop for "inattentive driving."
O'Fallon is looking at a new law that would allow police officers to pull people over for "inattentive driving". That includes things like applying makeup or even inputting information into your GPS. What do you think?
Every day here on our stations, I'm thinking about different ways to interact with you. I know this whole radio thing isn't just me out there talking to myself. So it's very important to me that I get your input on stuff! That's what the weekly Enquiring Minds surveys are all about, picking your brain and seeing what you think about stuff.
Apparently, almost ALL of us are in denial over our ROAD RAGE. According to a new survey, 83% of people don't think of themselves as having road rage. BUT . . . the survey also found that 85% of people DO actually show at least some signs of road rage.
Take our survey and tell us if you think you've ever had road rage!
Prepare to see an inept parallel parking job so awful you simple can't believe it.
You don't have to see 'Godzilla' to know size matters. This annoyed driver had had it with another motorist when he decided to confront him. He quickly realized that was a big mistake.
You and I both know that in our day to day lives here in Mid-Missouri, driving is pretty much required. You can't get around too far without some kind of vehicle. Yeah, you could ride your bike to work or the library if you were feeling spry - but you might not want to do that in 95 degree weather or in three feet of snow
What are some of the most annoying things that people do out on the road?
An angry driver who's been tailgating another car gets his comeuppance faster than the time it takes to say 'comeuppance' in this video.

GLENDALE, AZ - OCTOBER 17: Johnny Boychuk #55 of the Boston Bruins watches from the bench during the NHL game against the Phoenix Coyotes at Jobing.com Arena on October 17, 2009 in Glendale, Arizona. The Coyotes defeated the Bruins 4-1. (Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images)
The Bruins get what could be a preview of the opening round of the playoffs when the Devils visit the Garden on Thursday night. New Jersey is currently seventh in the East, which would match them against the second-seeded Bruins in the first round if the standings hold through the end of the season. There's likely to be plenty of movement in that seeding, with the Bruins just three points ahead of the Devils, but Boston and New Jersey could meet again in the spring. That might not be bad for the Bruins, who have won each of the first...

By Carmen Gonzalez Business and IT leaders today need better application delivery capabilities to support critical new innovation. But how often do you hear objections to improving application delivery like, "I can harden it against attack, but not on this timeline"; "I can make it better, but it will cost more"; "I can deliver faster, but not with these specs"; or "I can stay strong on cost control, but quality will suffer"? In the new application economy, these tradeoffs are no longer acceptable. Customers will ... Mar. 4, 2015 10:00 AM EST Reads: 985 |

By Carmen Gonzalez The Internet of Things (IoT) is causing data centers to become radically decentralized and atomized within a new paradigm known as "fog computing." To support IoT applications, such as connected cars and smart grids, data centers' core functions will be decentralized out to the network's edges and endpoints (aka "fogs"). As this trend takes hold, Big Data analytics platforms will focus on high-volume log analysis (aka "logs") and rely heavily on cognitive-computing algorithms (aka "cogs") to mak...
