Nissan and Renault's chief executive officer and president, Carlos Ghosn, and his Renault right-hand man, Patrick Pelata, have survived the massively embarrassing Renault spy scandal, for now. Ghosn and the Renault board have rejected Pelata's offer of resignation, and both Ghosn and Pelata, the French automaker's chief operating officer, as well as other top managers, have returned their 2010 executive bonuses. They will forego bonuses this year.
Ghosn also has six closed Nissan factories on his hands in the aftermath of Japan's earthquake and tsunami.
"Ghosn remains head of Renault, Nissan and the Alliance," a spokeswoman said, via email. While Renault management and its board are anxious to put the case behind them, the French government, which owns 15 percent of Renault, is not. There have been suggestions that the case could jeopardize the Alliance with Nissan.
It is "not illegitimate" to consider Ghosn and Pelata's jobs as being in the balance, French Industry Minister Eric Besson said Wednesday, according to Bloomberg, which quoted an interview on RMC radio. The issue, Besson told RMC, is Ghosn's earlier statement to France's TF1 television that there were "certainties" about the case.
The Alliance spokeswoman said the board, which includes government, union and industry officials, has "unanimously backed Ghosn's plan to restore confidence and overhaul the security division."
Here's what happened. In January, Renault suspended product development chief Michel Balthazard, his subordinate, Bertrand Rochette and Matthieu Tenenbaum, chief of the electric car program, on suspicions of receiving payment from Chinese companies for electric car technology. Renault and Nissan are working on the same electric power chemistry and technology, no doubt sharing resources, though they're working on different kinds of applications.
Renault fired Balthazard and the two others after management received "verbal information" that alleged Chinese payments to them via Swiss and Liechtenstein bank accounts.
On March 9, Renault attorney Jean Reinhart said the automaker paid 250,000 euros, or about $347,000, for information about the bank accounts, without knowing who supplied it.
On March 11, French police opened a fraud investigation and detained Dominique Gevrey, a former French intelligence agent in Renault's security department, as he was about to board an airplane for Guinea. France's RFI radio says on its English language website that Gevrey had claimed to be in contact with the alleged informer, who he refuses to identify.
"The attitude he is taking is that of a professional protecting his source. If any such source exists," said Jean-Claude Marin, Paris' chief prosecutor, in a March12 press conference.
Gevrey was jailed and faces charges of "organized fraud."
"We were able to rule out the claims presented in Renault's complaint within a very short period," Marin said. Swiss and Liechtenstein authorities quickly confirmed that bank accounts for the three accused product development managers do not exist, he said.
The case against Gevrey is just beginning. While Ghosn and Pelata have survived so far, the case against them could intensify as French authorities learn more about how Renault management bought (literally) the allegations against Balthazard, Rochette and Tenenbaum. As I write this, a planned meeting between Ghosn, Pelata and Balthazard – a vin summit? – is not yet organized.
Balthazard, Rochette and Tenenbaum are very legitimately peeved, and mere re-hiring is not going to be enough (perhaps they deserve to receive Ghosn's and Pelata's 2010 bonuses?).
If the heat doesn't dissipate on top management, Pelata is the obvious fall guy, though Ghosn could legitimately withdraw from his Renault duties and concentrate on Nissan and the earthquake aftermath in Japan. I don't know how much time Pelata has remaining on his current Renault contract, but he might have some trouble getting it renewed.
After adding the Renault president title to his resume in 2005, Ghosn eased up slightly on the notion of running both companies head-on, and promoted Pelata to the COO position in 2008. Whether Ghosn was hands-on or hands-off the January investigation of the product managers, he's quickly finding out that running two car companies is even harder than it sounds.
The Chinese angle is troubling, too. Why is it easy to make up allegations of Chinese spying on Western automakers? Because the Chinese Domestic Market, the part of the market not related to the joint-venture local manufacturing of foreign models is exemplified by poor-quality cars wearing familiar, Western- or Japanese-cribbed sheetmetal. Results have not matched the level of the CHM's earnestness. The world's largest automotive market still can't produce a homemade design that's worthy of European or North American competition.

Imagination work more then meets the eye?
by Recent News on January 30, 2008
Filed under: Recent News
In addition to an earlier permit specifying the work on fixtures, screens, curtains, lights, etc… in the Imageworks during the current closure, Imagineering has filed a permit for "Imagination Demolition."
Sources are saying this new permit is the first of many which will result in a redesign of the entire pavilion. The extent of the work culminating in a new ride and show rather then the dated Imagination Institute theme.
Some rumors even suggest the return of the Dream Port theme. Forgot what exactly that is? Here's a good collection of Youtube videos to refresh your memory.

Propellerheads also announced the release of Figure, an mobile OS app...
Update: The update will be a free one to registered Reason 6 users. David Spiers of Gforce has dropped hints that Gforce will be developing a Rack Extension or two...
Freeform discussion of electronic music and the techniques and gear used in making it
Awesome stuff, can't wait, this should be exciting. I mean propellerhead is an island, despite the rewire feature. These are plugins but exclusive to reason, clever move. Oh i just hope the developers keep the analog design of extensions, because reason is more analog than digital. Nice one, thanks for the post
Hot damn!
I will never need to use friggin Cubase again!!!
I understand that this is essentially a way of getting VST's into Reason without compromising stability.

DOWNTOWN DICTUM. Part of the proposed Downtown Survey, or Plaza Task Force, or redoing of the Vision Plan, ought to be a formula or ratio for the occupants of new buildings. How about one floor of retail, one floor of offices and one floor of residences? All the experts on urban planning say that successful downtowns need more people living there than we've got. That means all income levels, all ages, all occupations, of course. That's a reaction to those daily articles and the strong-arm hinting that we need more office space immediately. People seem to forget that offices downtown without apartments to live in create commuters and traffic. We have enough of that already.
LOTUS LAND, U.S.A. Driving back to L.A. last week and getting there just in time to greet my brand-new grandson, George John Boulanger, caused some wild and crazy thoughts. Seeing the oil rigs off Gaviota beach and wondering just how big a deal that was that let the oil companies leave them there forever, even though there're no longer in use. TV crews and groups all around Port Hueneme waiting for more Alaska Airlines reminders to wash ashore; hearing that even Beverly Hills' Rodeo Drive now has the homeless and derelicts hanging out, as does the Santa Monica City Hall steps. It's still hard to visualize that Alaskan Airliner spinning and going in nose down. I overheard one local say to a friend, while I was having an espresso on Santa Monica's Third Street Promenade, that "this place sucks now, it used to have lots of community-serving businesses, now it's all franchises." He's right; they got them all on Third Street: Borders, Barnes and Noble, J. Crew, Restoration Hardware, Pottery Barn, Victoria's Secret, Discovery Channel (the store!), Banana Republic, Urban Outfitters--you name it they got it, every box store you've ever heard of. The odd thing is that Santa Monica and L.A. have these same named stores everywhere; so does every town along Highway 101. What I still think would draw more people, and more shopping money, to Santa Cruz would be the attraction of being the one city in the United States that defied the big and little franchise operations, closed down the ones that snuck in and instead has locally owned, brilliantly conceived and imaginatively stocked stores, found nowhere else. If folks want that mass-market merchandise, there's always the Internet and catalogs.
MOVIETIME. Seeing Scream 3 in Beverly Hills on opening night was a treat. Everyone in the audience except me knew all the Hollywood in-jokes in this last of the Scream trilogy, and the theater rocked with laughs. Wes Craven directed it with wit and humor and threw in all sorts of slasher clichés, and so if you saw the first two Screams, and liked them, see this one too--otherwise forget about it. Nick Nolte and Sharon Stones' new film, Simpatico, even with a script by Sam Shepard isn't worth the popcorn. The acting isn't anything like you expect from Nick, Sharon or Jeff Bridges--don't go. I finally saw Milos Forman's Man on the Moon, starring Jim Carrey, here in L.A. land. I never knew who Andy Kaufman was prior to reading about this film, so I was prepared for anything. It's an impossible task to make a film about as wild a character as Kaufman, and I liked this film a lot. It made me sorry I missed the real Andy K. Liberty Heights must be opening soon at the Nick--go see it, it's well-written and funny.
HOME DEPOT GETTING MORE SERIOUS. Monique Waining and others have told me about mailers that Home Depot is sending out asking for support. They want you to fill out their card, and then they'll do something with it. Home Depot developers are experts and longtime veterans on deflecting public opinion. Allowing them to build a 130,000-square-foot monstrosity at 41st and Soquel will forever change our county and the way business is done here. At least, let Jan Beautz know how you feel. She needs to know there's serious opposition afoot.
CULTURAL THINGS. Maybe the forces behind the new Cultural Action Plan can show Cabrilho College the wisdom in saving the existing 550-seat theater as a theater and still build their new auditorium. Any other geezers out there think about Jimmy Durante finally finding Mrs. Calabash when the Cultural Council and the Ethnic Arts Network gave out the Calabash Awards last week? Sylvia Jenkins and Roy Malan are back together to perform Schubert and Debussy at UCSC's Recital Hall on Wednesday (Feb. 16); call 459.2159 for tix and info. The Yazoo Blues Revue, an acoustic quintet, has a new CD out, and it will also be playing a Valentine's Show Feb. 14 at 8pm up at Henflings in Ben Lomond. Call 335.1642 if you need to know any more. Eden Gallery in Davenport is having a Valentine's reception on Sunday (Feb. 13) at 12:30pm. Vocalist Ariel (part of the trio Mayim) will be singing there, and she has a new CD out too. Eden Gallery specializes in local artists in both glass and prints and paintings. Call them at 429.5307.
SAVE FEB. 19. The Friends of the North Coast have created one of the most interesting, creative, entertaining evenings I've heard of. On Feb. 19 at 7pm, the group will present an evening of guitar and songs by the nearly legendary Martin Simpson; noted photographer Frank Balthis will be sharing his images of our North Coast; and for the first time in California, Frans Lanting will be presenting a special program of slides on biodiversity from his worldly point of view. If you've ever seen and heard any of these three people, you know how special this night will be. Assemblymember and Speaker Pro Tem Fred Keeley, North Coast Supervisor Mardi Wormhoudt, former county Supervisor Gary Patton; Celia and Peter Scott, the founders of F.O.N.C.; and other surprise guests will all be doing something. Most recently, our North Coast is being threatened by the biotech goat ranch, and all of above are actively involved in protecting it. This evening will be an art and entertainment gala to be remembered, and the North Coast is, as usual, an area under attack. It all happens at the aforementioned Cabrilho College Theater. Get tickets right away and don't miss any of this once-in-a-lifetime event. Tickets are available at Bookshop Santa Cruz, the New Davenport Cash Store, Patagonia on River Street or the Cabrilho Community Education Office 479.6331. I'll meet you there.
SCREENWRITING CLASS. My old friend Dan Bessie is holding his Introduction to Screenwriting class starting Feb. 25 at Georgiana Bruce Kirby School on Union Street. Dan's not only an experienced teacher in screenwriting but also a veteran writer, producer, director and animator who has spent more than 40 years making over 125 films. His films have been on CBS, HBO, the Disney Channel and lots of places--he knows how to make films. So if you've ever wanted to create works for films or TV, or if you're seriously interested in teaching or learning any aspect of the film business, this is the big chance to do it! Email Dan at [email protected] or call 427.2650.
BUMPER STICKERS AGAIN. David Brick sent this one. He swears he saw it near Santa Cruz High School. "MILITANT AGNOSTIC ... I don't know, and You Don't Either!"

MIAMI (AP) — Chris Bosh has signed his $118 million, five-year contract to stay with the Miami Heat.
The team says Bosh signed the deal Wednesday. The sides agreed on the terms earlier this month, but the paperwork could not be completed because Bosh was on a lengthy international vacation and needed to undergo a physical before signing.
Bosh is entering his fifth season with the Heat. He was the first player to commit to the Heat this summer after LeBron James' announcement that he was leaving Miami and returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Bosh averaged 16.2 points on 52 percent shooting last season for Miami. He will earn just over $20.6 million this season, and his contract is the largest in terms of total value in Heat franchise history.

Local Mechanics You Trust Your Jeep With
I've just recently purchased a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Love it, but it has some issues that need fixing, as seen in this thread:
http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f13/r...is-mn-1382540/ I have one person willing to help, but I'd like to build a little database (and maybe a sticky for this forum) on good places to fix your Jeeps. Well, for those of us that aren't mechanically inclined, anyway. Good mechanics that won't rip you off can be hard to find. List any, or if you're willing to do some work for someone, please list your rate, and qualifications. (I didn't find a thread like this, but if I missed it, let me know.) Joe's Brake Shop 50th and Bryant Ave South Minneapolis Doesn't specialize in Jeeps but I've worked with him and a friend has recommended him highly as someone that is honest. |
Any good places in Minneapolis? |
Also interested to know.
I know a guy...Josh Larson in Sumter(I think that's how it's spelled). Look up Larson Automotive...it's about 45 miles west of Eden Prairie on Hwy 212. I know it's not real close but he does great work and normally comes in at close to half of what most shops charge. I had him replace a motor in my daughters Cobalt when she blew it up...low mileage replacement and labor came to like $1200. |
Is this the place? http://larsonautomotive.net/ |
No...I found that I spelled his last name wrong...it's Larsen. I found the address also, it's listed as Glencoe. 13366 86th St.
Awesome, good to know. I just bought my Jeep with 199,300 miles on it. I'm sure I'll have to replace the engine at some point.
in the Rochester area 4x4 unlimited north of town off hwy 63 is a great shop.
how about Duluth? any recommendations there?

iDisk II 120X: 8GB USB Flash Drive
Just when you thought Corsair's 2 GB Flash Drive was big enough, Solid Alliance announces the World's Smallest 8 GB Flash Drive. "Worlds smallest" seems to be a trend that is being used over and over again at what is almost a daily affair. This one looks like any other generic flash drive out there but has huge storage capacity. You can almost pack 2 DVDs in this little bad boy. Solid Alliance has also released 2GB and 4GB versions on February 7th. The 8GB flash drive is set to be released in the middle of 2005. These flash drives are compatible with Microsoft Windows ME/2000/XP, Mac OS 9.2 and Linux 2.4.

Press Release:
Lyndon LaRouche Congratulates Vladimir Putin:
"First Step on the Road
To the New Pacific-Centered Recovery"
September 2011
Russian Presidential Press and Information Office
Noted American economist, statesman and political leader Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. issued a statement Sunday of warm congratulations to Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, upon his nomination for the Presidency of Russia in the 2012 elections. He also congratulated Russian President Dmitri Medvedev, who nominated Putin for President at this week's United Russia party convention, and has announced his candidacy for the Russian Duma, as head of the United Russia slate.
"This Putin-Medvedev move is just the kind of strategic surprise the world needs," LaRouche said. "This assertion of leadership sends a clear message of defiance against the British Empire's divide-and-conquer games, and represents a major step forward toward a new Pacific-centered recovery program for the entire world."
"Over the recent weeks, the Putin-Medvedev leadership has taken new initiatives toward cooperation with China, on precisely the basis of high-technology development, including space and nuclear, that the world needs in order to get out of the current depression. Once the United States, without Obama, joins with this Russian-China alliance, we have the basis for a Great Pacific Alliance, which will be the alternative to war and a New Dark Age."
"We are already seeing whining and screaming from lackeys of the British Empire, about this crucial decision. In fact, they have brought this development on themselves, by wrecking the trans-Atlantic economies through de-industrialization and globalization. People in the West have no right to complain."
"The Putin-Medvedev decision," LaRouche continued, "is actually a sign of hope for all mankind. What is required now is for the American population to dump its British-puppet President, and join with Russia and China to form the Great Pacific Alliance that can rescue mankind."
"This alliance is already in the making, as of the Putin-Medvedev announcement yesterday. Now is the time for American patriots to move decisively to dump Obama so we can join it, and take the necessary measures to save every section of the planet from an otherwise-inevitable collapse into the future envisioned by the British financial empire—depopulation and death."

Asked yesterday whether the Houla massacre should be the moment when Russia finally drops its support for the Assad regime, a visibly irate Sergei Lavrov snapped back that Moscow had never supported Bashar al-Assad. "We do not support the Syrian government," Mr Lavrov said. "We support the plan of Kofi Annan."
Optimists may find some hope for a future consensus in these words, but that would be ignoring the tone of Mr Lavrov's remarks. He criticised the West for "playing geopolitical games" and said he was "sceptical" about supposed human-rights concerns, which he feels mask plans for regime change. The talks with William Hague were "frank and honest", the British Foreign Secretary said – diplomatic code for stormy and without agreement.
The statement at the UN Security Council to which Russia signed up is progress, as is the information from sources in Washington that Russia may be considering a "Yemen scenario" whereby Mr Assad is eased out of Syria. Mr Lavrov did not comment on these rumours yesterday, but did say that Moscow was putting pressure on Damascus "daily" to adhere to Mr Annan's plan. Still, he has been peddling that line for several months now.
As long as Mr Assad knows he can count on Russia's support, he can act with impunity. We do not know what exactly Moscow is saying to Mr Assad privately and it may be that Russia's line behind closed doors is very different to what Mr Lavrov said publicly yesterday and Mr Assad has been warned that further atrocities will result in Russia being forced to abandon its ally, perhaps the only kind of pressure that will work. The tone of Mr Lavrov's remarks hardly point to a consensus any time soon.

Home > Health Library > Liver Transplant for Hepatitis B
During a liver transplant, a surgeon removes your damaged liver. That liver is replaced with a healthy one from an organ donor.
Liver transplants are done to treat long-term (chronic) hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection only after all other treatments have not worked. That's because transplanted organs can become reinfected with HBV.
Liver transplants are most often done at large medical centers. Transplants are very expensive.

So excited to have the gown! It is beautiful and came just in time. I had to shorten in but I am going to use the extra material to add a little something. It fits true to size, although it is worth noting that the fit around the bust is designed to be snug. Absolutely recommend!
can you please specify what color this is? it looks lovely!

As Promised, here is the photo. Am still thrilled with my dress and I felt fantastic in it. Highly recommend this service to anyone. We are having another ball next year so I will be purchasing another dress for that evening . Thank you so much for making me feel great about myself for the night.
I am a little blown away with the beautiful gown that has arrived yesterday. I live in New Zealand and clicked onto the Internet to see what I could find. I have never purchased anything over the internet before but for the LIIGHT IN THE BOX team my congratulations for not only the wonderful service but the wonderfully made gown. I placed my order for my gown on the 3rd of July and it arrived on my door step on the 19th of July. From order to delivery and from China to N.Z in 16 days...... that is some service!!!I did pay the little extra for a quicker delivery and was not disappointed! I paid for a gown to be made for my own measurements and it fits like a glove. I am 59 years of age a good size 1820 and about to go to my first ball. I feel like a princess. in this gown and cannot wait till the big evening arrives. I will send in a photo for you all to view. Again my thanks for you outstanding service. To anyone considering making a purchase. Don't hesitate you will not be disappointed.

I bought this dress in dark navy for my oldest son's wedding. I was afraid after I ordered that I had waited too late as it was just a month till the wedding but it arrived in time. Although it was really too long, I didn't mind. I thought it was very flattering. I got compliments from everyone. The only picture I have so far in which I'm standing in it was taken by my second son's wife on her phone of our family lining up for the photographer. The other in which I am sitting with my daughter was taken by my husband. I would have liked longer sleeves but made do with shawl I crocheted.
I felt like a queen and could not have been more pleased.
I highly recommend this site to everyone I know. :)

I said previously that I would upload pictures of a "real woman" in this dress. It was a beautiful wedding. Thanks, Light in the Box! Size 16 56 years old
Gorgeous! Thank you for sharing. I have a wedding to attend and I think this might be the perfect dress.

I wrote a nice review a couple of months ago and said I would follow up with pictures. The wedding was beautiful and everybody commented on my beautiful dress. I'm not a young bride or a skinny bride, but I thought the dress made me look elegant. Thanks so much for a beautiful well made dress.
Thanks for posting this! I'm not a young skinny bride either, and I was afraid to even consider this gown, but seeing how beautiful it looked on you, I'm definitely thinking about it now! And congrats on your wedding!
by Vicky Jan 12, 2012
This looks great on you! I'm built much like you are and I was wondering if this would look good on me. Your pictures give me total confidence. Thank you. And congratulations on your wedding!
by aspenzmama May 28, 2012
You look great and I love that color! What color did you get it in? Ivory or champagne? Or another one?

Ordered this dress for a wedding. Came in a month, fit perfectly (I didn't bother custom fitting because my measurements were an exact match to the size 12), fabric is super comfortable. The length is very long and lies along the floor a few inches, but it's an easy alteration if you want it shorter. The sleeves are sheer and the neckline is low, so I'll be wearing a shader shirt underneath to cover up. Excellent dress, especially for the price!

Hi what color was the dress done in? I know its a shade of purple but which please? It's such a lovely color.

I cannot rate this dress high enough!
I bought it and it came (custom sized) in less than a month! It was very high quality and the perfectly dress to wear for my daughters wedding.
Light in the Box answered my questions about shipping very quickly and courteously. Their professionalism is top rate.
I ordered dress in navy, and it was just what I wanted! The beading is flawless. I'm plus size, but fairly tall, and the dress fits as perfectly as if they had sewed it on me.
I'm so happy I took the risk of getting a dress online! So a huge thank you to LITB!

El pedido llegó en los días estipulados. Buen seguimiento y buena atencion. Tenia un poco de miedo, ya que nunca habia comprado aqui, quise probar (hacerlo a la medida) ya que a final de mes tengo una cena de gala, mis medidas son un poco especiales y me costaba encontrar algo. Pero la verdad, todo muy bien. Seguramente haré más compras. Dejo un foto, aunque sin peinar y maquillar, no salgo muy favorecida. El vestido muy bonito en azul marino. Por cierto me cobraron casi 43 € de IVA y extracargos.

As you get ready for the upcoming registration process, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with your Academic Advisor to discuss your academic goals and plan for Fall 2017, and to ensure you are meeting degree requirements. To learn more about the process for course registration for Fall 2017, be sure to review all of the information below carefully!
- Course Bidding: What, When, & How
- Core Requirements: Avoid the Final Semester Surprise
- General Registration: What Happens After Bidding
- Important Rules and Policies: What You Need to Know
Course Bidding: What, When, & How
Course Bidding is a system for point allocation (much like interview bidding), to determine course registration for the final year of the MBA program.
Q. When is it?
A. March 5 at 10 a.m. - March 13 at 10 a.m. Do NOT wait until the last minute! Students should place their bids well before the 10 a.m. deadline on March 13 to ensure that they are able to access the system and enter their bids successfully. Bids cannot be processed after the system has closed. Those students traveling for MAP during this period should be especially careful to place bids EARLY since web access from remote locations cannot be guaranteed and bids cannot be processed after the system has closed.
Q. What steps do I need to take before bidding?
A. Students must clear all financial holds at least 2 hours before the end of bidding. Students who fail to clear financial holds by this deadline will not be able to participate in the bidding process.
Q. How does bidding work?
A. Learn about course bidding using the links below and by attending a Course Bidding Workshop:
- Course Bidding Information:
- Course Bidding Workshop:
- Monday, February 20: 4:30-5:30 PM in R1240
Q. What classes can I bid on?
A. Most Ross electives are included in bidding, but not all. Courses not included may be reserved for other student types (e.g., incoming MBA1 students, Part-Time MBA students), or may require permission of instructor. Non-Ross courses will not be available in course bidding - you will register for those via the General Registration process. View a spreadsheet of the specific courses that will be included in bidding here (coming soon):
Q. Do I have to participate in course bidding?
A. No, however you should be aware that some Ross classes will fill through course bidding; if you opt not to bid, you may miss the opportunity to enroll in a class. If you still need to complete a Ross requirement (e.g., Communication requirement, Law/Ethics, Competing in the Global Business Environment), you will want to bid for this class to ensure that you reserve a seat in this course and can graduate on time.
Core Requirements: Avoid the Final Semester Surprise
Don't get caught with a missing requirement halfway through your last term (e.g., Communication requirement, Law/Ethics, Competing in the Global Business Environment) – make sure that you are aware of your remaining requirements and bid/register for them in advance. It is YOUR responsibility to make sure you are registering for and completing the appropriate courses and credits. If you have not fulfilled your degree requirements by the end of Winter 2018, you will not graduate.
Q. After MAP, what other core requirements are there?
A. Review the Second Year core curriculum for Full-Time MBA students.
Q. How do I know which core requirements I have or haven't completed?
A. View a live degree audit of your record under Academic Requirements on Wolverine Access, review the core curriculum, track your progress using the Degree Requirements Checklist, and/or schedule a Graduate Degree Audit Check appointment with your Academic Advisor. Dual Degree students will need to schedule an "MBA Dual Degree Advising/Issues" appointment to review their requirements.
Q. Can I still waive core?
A. No, the deadline for waiving core courses has passed.
General Registration: What Happens After Bidding
Most students will want to make some schedule adjustments after our course bidding process. You will do this on Wolverine Access using the University's general registration process.
Q. What happens after course bidding?
A. After the course bidding process, Academic Services will load all of the results into Wolverine Access (see Bidding Timetable for details), at which point you will be able to see the classes you were awarded and waitlisted. It can take us some time to sort through the results, so don't worry if you don't see all of your classes right away. After your general registration appointment time starts (between March 27-30), you can then drop/add classes directly on Wolverine Access. If you are interested in registering for any non-Ross courses, this is the method you will use to add those classes.
Q. Should I use the backpack feature on Wolverine Access before registration opens?
A. Maybe. You do not need to backpack the courses you are awarded through our course bidding process. If you are not awarded a class you wish to take, or if you are interested in registering for classes not available in bidding (e.g., non-Ross classes) then you will want to backpack those classes using Wolverine Access starting March 22. Be aware that backpacking does not reserve a seat for you in the class - it is simply a way to put the course in your "shopping cart" so that you can "check-out" quickly. If a class in your backpack does not have room available when your registration time opens, you may have to waitlist yourself, and/or select an alternate open section at that time.
Q. When is my appointment time?
A. The University assigns registration appointment times for graduate students between March 27-30. The times are determined by the credits completed, and then are randomly assigned. You can view your assigned time on Wolverine Access starting March 22.
Q. Do I have to register exactly at my appointment time, and when does my registration close?
A. You do not need to register exactly at your appointment time, but some classes will fill quickly, or seats may be opened to non-Ross students after registration has been open for a week or more, so it is to your advantage to register when your appointment time opens. Once your appointment time opens, you can continue to make changes until the drop/add deadlines for Fall 2017.
Q. How do I find out what non-Ross courses are being offered?
A. Starting March 1, you can view the full University schedule (including Ross and non-Ross courses) on Wolverine Access, or via the Office of the Registrar , which has a helpful .CSV file version that can be downloaded/sorted for specific units, days, times, etc.
Important Rules and Policies: What You Need to Know
It is each student's responsibility to review the course registration rules and policies carefully.
Q. I still have questions. Is there someone I can talk to?
A. For quick, general questions relating to registration and other processes, Add/Drop forms, Permissions, Standard Letter Requests, etc., please contact Ross Registrar's Office at 734-647-4933 or email@example.com.
If you have questions regarding course selection or degree requirements, please schedule an appointment with an Academic Advisor through our Academic Advising appointment system. You can also meet with an Academic Advisor during Academic Advising Drop-in hours (Tuesday and Wednesday 1:00-2:00 PM in K2520) for quick advising questions and urgent issues.

Mathematics and Literature
Lesson 5 of 5
Objective: Students will be able to discuss the math they "see" in a piece of literature.
Big Idea: Students love to talk about what they read. Use literature to begin growing mathematical thinkers and communicators.
Literature in Math
One of my favorite activities is to pull out my math book box from the classroom library. If you don't have something like this, you may ask your librarian to pull books from your media center.
I begin the lesson by reading a few pages of one of the books from the box and simply ask the students, "What math do you see?" "Turn and tell your partner." I think it is important for students to see that math is everywhere, not only in a math text with algorithms and problems to solve. Reading these books and hunting for math is a sure fire way to engage students as lifelong mathematicians.
Students, today I would like you to choose a book from the math literature box and enjoy reading it silently to yourself or with one partner. I will ask you later to share what math you see in the book. Some of them are tricky, so read and look carefully! Later in the year, you will be journaling about these wonderful stories. Also, remember, as you finish work in our classroom, these books are always available to read!
While students are reading and exploring, I will move around the room and engage in conversations with them. As this is the start of the year, I find out a great deal of important information about my students as math learners by listening to their thinking, observations, and even noticing their level of excitement. It is like taking a math inventory!
This student worked with me to dig deeper and I found an opportunity to "on the spot" teaching of ordinal numbers!
This video shows that not all math is apparent. This student needed some prompting to look in a different way. There is much more math than we even got to in this session.
Resources (5)
To close this session, I ask students to journal about a book they enjoyed and to give examples of what math they noticed. Some of the books, such as One White Sail were not as clearly math related as others. Writing about the struggle of this activity is just as important as the actual reading of the books.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Slice pears ½ inch thick. Melt butter in a 10- to 12-inch-wide skillet. Add pears; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly caramelized, about 15 minutes.
In an ovenproof skillet, brown chorizo links over medium-high heat. Place pan in preheated oven and bake until chorizo is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove from pan and drain on paper towel. Drain grease from pan, leaving a light coating.
Make a gastrique by sautéing onion, celery, carrot and garlic in chorizo pan over medium heat until lightly browned. Stir in pear juice and sugar. Simmer until liquid is reduced and syrupy, about 10 minutes. Add broth and bring to a boil. Cook over high heat until ¾ to 1 cup liquid remains, about 10 to 15 minutes. Strain; discard vegetables and reserve liquid.
To serve, slice chorizo into ½-inch pieces and add to skillet with pears. Add reserved gastrique. Bring to a boil and cook about 2 minutes until liquid is slightly reduced and thickened.
Note: Chorizo, made locally in Port Washington in both fresh and smoked versions, is available under at several specialty groceries, including Grasch's, Sendik's and Outpost and at the Pick-N-Saves in Mequon and Sussex.

Come on in Sol, the water's fine
I wouldn't mind doing a lap or two. I'll try not to wee in it but its the cold you know.
Quite an important principal is at stake here. Crown land is public land. Not land to be annexed for use of the rich. I thought we got past that a couple of hundred years ago.
Conservationists and local residents are planning a protest. Good on them. It will be interesting to see how this one ends up. The rich taking over public land and being permitted to by the state government? Will Premier Ballieu's sister Kate (recommended reading, by Dina) be at the barricades again? Which way will the council swing? Pro new money or pro old establishment. Will anti Semitism be brought up?
I am reminded of a visit to Pipeworks. I remember nothing about Pipeworks or what it is (a market?), except for a car. We walked past the car in a car park. The car said to us, 'Move away. You are too close'. Of course intrigued, we moved closer. 'You are in a prohibited area. Do not touch the car. Move away'. It was pre mobile phone days and I expect it would now also say, 'I am calling the police'. I told my Thai friend at work about the amusing car, and he said that if it was in Thailand, the car would quickly be smashed up. Apparently that is how Thai's deal with infringements of a public space.
Of course in Australia that doesn't happen, but if the local residents, protesters and conservationists smashed up Sol's pool, who would want to see them prosecuted?
Now where is my six pound sledgehammer?

As you say Andrew a very important principal, I hope he is made to remove the whole thing and restore the land.
Personal rights, including property are an important foundation for our society but they cut both ways. Rich folk with presumably more to lose should be the first people to support this idea.Big Dog, I think that is the obvious way to go. Yet I remember when a significant building was constructed and it breached height limits, a small fine of a couple of thousand dollars was imposed. Chicken feed compared to the profits made by breach.
Windsmoke, join me with my sledgehammer. We'll fix it.
MC, interesting point. We did not call them a common though. But yes, public land that was not used. I remember it.
Jayne, I missed the song, but I may well have caught a bit of the conversation.
No Fen, I missed it. I must have stepped into the shower or something.
Red, I think a picnic or similar is being organised. The pool has been drained for safety reasons, evidently.

Where Research Ends and Writing Begins
Gigi Pandian (Guest Blogger)
Like many other writers, I often find myself in danger of becoming stuck in the "research phase" of writing a book. Making sure a book is authentic and believable is a worthy goal, but not if the writer isn't able to extract herself from gathering facts for long enough to write the book!
I write mysteries about a historian who solves present-day crimes linked to historical treasures, so I legitimately have to do a fair amount of research. However, when I first started writing a book, I took things too far. I got too caught up in the details. I wanted to write an adventure that combined British and Indian history in an unexpected way, but it would have taken years to reach the same expertise on the British East India Company as my protagonist, get a full understanding of Mughal art and jewelry, read all the legends in Scottish folklore…
My research epiphany came when I interviewed a historian. She commented that I was getting too bogged down in the details. When she reads fiction, she said, she doesn't want to read the same footnoted details that exist in academic papers—she wants to get caught up in the story.
I've learned that I need to do enough research to have a solid conceptual understanding of a subject, plus some intriguing gems to sprinkle throughout the book, but I don't need to have the same expertise as my characters. Doing too much research can actually backfire—easily leading to "info dumps" with too much scholarly information jammed into the pages without furthering the plot or adding depth to the story.
I like my balanced approach much better. It allows me to have fun with research, doing a combination of online, book, and in-person research—and it also lets me get to "the end."
My first novel, Artifact, takes historian Jaya Jones from San Francisco to the British Library in London to an archaeological dig in the Highlands of Scotland. When I visited London, I made the effort to get a researcher pass and to spend a day in the British Library reading room with the India Office Records. That gave me an understanding of the library's research materials and let me experience what it was like to do research there, as the characters in Artifact do. But I didn't spend my whole trip there—though I admit it was tempting! When I got home, I consulted my sketches and got writing.
I knew I wanted to set my second novel in India. I already had an idea for the starting point of the story, but I didn't yet know where it was going. As usual, I started reading fascinating history books. I spent a lot of time at the San Francisco Library reading about India and San Francisco at the turn of the previous century and about pirates (yes, the book is called Pirate Vishnu, coming from Henery Press in February 2014). In spite of my best intentions, it was only with great effort that I was able to pull myself away from those history books and start writing my own story.
On a trip to visit family in India during the time I was writing the book, I planned a couple of excursions that I thought would help me with book research. A funny thing happened to my grand research plans on that trip: I came up with a plot twist that became integral to the book, but it wasn't because of one of the special research side-trips I'd planned. It was only because I was allowing my mind to wander, rather than being focused on research, that I was able to come up with the idea. The mind is a funny thing. I'm going to try my best to remember that as I begin researching my next novel…
Leave a comment this weekend to enter the drawing to win a copy of Artifact.

Welcome to Poe's Deadly Daughters, Gigi. Dying to know if Jaya too makes a family visit in India. :)

Thanks for inviting me to stop by, Liz! Jaya does make it to south India in the upcoming second book in the series, Pirate Vishnu, on the search for a treasure that's related to an ancestor of hers.
Jaya always thought the first member of the Indian side of her family to come to the U.S. had died in the Great San Francisco Earthquake of 1906, until she discovers a treasure map that may have led to the real cause of his death... - September 7, 2013 at 10:31 AM

Thanks for sharing your balanced approach to research, Gigi. I appreciate the reminder that we don't have to know as much as our characters about their areas of expertise.
- September 7, 2013 at 11:40 AM
- JJM said...
You may not know as much as your characters, but ... heaven help you if you don't know as much as your readers! [laughs] Seriously: First, judging by your attitude towards research, I can't see you'd have that problem. And, second, I enjoyed your post very much, Gigi, and your books sound intriguing. I shall definitely look into them, thanks.--Mario R.

This is a terrific post and contains some really important advice for writers. I finished a book this summer in which the same concept was at issue: my characters are either scientists or savants, and I am neither. :) It made it hard to write from their points of view until I let myself IMAGINE what I thought would happen.
Thanks, Gigi! - September 7, 2013 at 2:34 PM
Another person who loves to do research! I used to work in a field that required a fair amount of research. I would often get carried away with it,needing to remind myself to leave time to write my reports! Your books will undoubtedly reflect your talent for picking up important details, even if you don't include all your knowledge in each book. I look forward to getting involved in reading your books!
- September 7, 2013 at 3:14 PM
- Steven M. Moore said...
Hi Gigi,
Let me be the Devil's Advocate here, perhaps echoing a wee bit of what JJM said. Creating background for your fiction (my definition of research is a bit more restrictive) is another example of the Goldilocks Condundrum. You want to have just enough scientific, technical, or medical background--not too much and not too little. And, as JJM implies, you'd better get it right (or bury your errors so much that no one can find them easily).
Example: my big turn-off with Jules Verne's classic Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea corresponded to the pages and pages of description of underwater flora and fauna. Boring!
For mysteries and thrillers, Deaver almost goes over the top in several of his Lincoln Rhyme books. If a particular piece of forensic evidence is important, it should be there, of course, and you have to throw in some misdirects, but Deaver and shows like CSI sometimes get wrapped up in the technological background in place of getting on with the story.
As a reviewer, I'm a bit more tolerant of extensive background material than most people. Authors should know, however, that all readers are different, and sometimes their patience is sorely tried.
r/Steve - September 7, 2013 at 3:58 PM
- Gigi Pandian said...
Mario and Steven -- Thanks for playing Devil's Advocates! Since it's important to me to make sure I get details right, the way I've resolved that is to make sure I consult with experts. In my most recent manuscript, I was sure I had something right until someone said "while it might be technically correct, it just wouldn't be done." Which was another great lesson for me.
- September 7, 2013 at 4:58 PM
- Gigi Pandian said...
Marilyn -- I still have to remind myself that I don't actually have to get a PhD in History to write this series! I do have far too many research books... But hoarding books is another story ;)
- September 7, 2013 at 4:59 PM
- Gigi Pandian said...
Julia -- Exactly, we're fiction writers, not memoirists. The most wonderful fictional worlds are full of all sorts of people, and if we waited until we had the expertise of each of our characters, we'd never even finish our first book ;)
- September 7, 2013 at 5:03 PM
- Gigi Pandian said...
Deb -- I was once on the academic path, in a PhD program. Even though it wasn't right for me as a whole, I always loved the research parts.

- Judy Penz Sheluk said...
As a freelance writer and editor in my day job, I research and fact check constantly and it's very easy to get caught up in the minutia. I love when an author includes tidbits of information that I can learn from, but I don't want to feel like I'm back in school! Great post Gigi and a good solid reminder.

This is probably the most important blog post I've read since joining SinC and the Guppies. The lure of information, new knowledge about anything, has been well nigh irresistible to me throughout my life, and I fear I may have fallen victim to it while writing my WIP. Thank you for helping me see the balance point I must find.
- September 8, 2013 at 9:06 AM
- Gigi Pandian said...
Judy, I adore those tidbits in other books, which is why I knew I wanted to write books that involved a certain level of deep research. But yes, I definitely don't want to find myself lecturing ;)

This takes me back to my days researching papers for my art history classes in college. I remember setting aside half of the semester for research: read every article I could find that was relevant to my topic, and the next half of the semester was for organizing my notes and writing the darn thing. By the time I graduated, the process took a lot less than a semester :)

A few customers showed up today at one of Bend's marijuana sharing clubs, but afternoon customers were greeted by a locked door at Central Oregon Alternative Therapy (COAT) on Division Street. Paul McCord of Bend has smoked marijuana for 20-years: "I have arthritis bad, bad arthritis and I am here to get some medical marijuana." When asked if it helps: "Absolutely, absolutely, I am in terrible pain all the time and it really, really does help." Neighboring businesses have mixed reaction. Victoria Collier works for flex force. "Definitely gonna be a negative thing for our company and for Arc-Point as well. We are both drug free, so having people coming and getting marijuana next door will not be a positive thing for us." But Gary Sobala of Rival Sports Club Bar and Grill is willing to give "COAT" time to see if they will be a good neighbor he says he has talked to 50 people and only one percent have a problem with it.

US FDA approves first obesity drug in 13 years |
By Kerry Sheridan, AFP Friday, June 29, 2012, 2:41 am TWN |
WASHINGTON--U.S. regulators on Wednesday approved the first drug to treat obesity in 13 years, a drug called lorcaserin, marketed as Belviq and made by Arena Pharmaceuticals.
The drug works to control the appetite through receptors in the brain and was approved as additional therapy for certain overweight and obese patients, combined with diet and exercise. Trials showed the drug helped people lose an average of three to 3.7 percent of their body weight after a year when compared to a placebo, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said. It is approved for use in obese adults with a body mass index of 30 or greater, or overweight adults with a BMI of 27 or greater who have at least one other condition such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. Arena's stock opened the day at US$9 per share and jumped as high as 47 percent on news of the U.S. approval. The company said it is also seeking approval on the European market, but has no timeline yet for a decision. Janet Woodcock, director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, described obesity as "a major public health concern," and said the new drug offers a treatment option when used "responsibly in combination with a healthy diet and lifestyle." However, the FDA warned that Belviq is not for women who are pregnant or nursing, and called for further long-term postmarketing studies on the drug's potential risks. The label will also recommend that Belviq be discontinued in patients who fail to lose five percent of their body weight after 12 weeks of treatment. "These patients are unlikely to achieve clinically meaningful weight loss with continued treatment," said the FDA statement. Belviq activates the serotonin 2C receptor in the brain, and may cause serious side effects if taken in combination with certain medications for depression and migraine that increase serotonin levels or activate serotonin receptors. "Belviq may also cause disturbances in attention or memory," said the FDA. Common side-effects in patients without diabetes include headache, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, dry mouth, and constipation. In diabetic patients, side effects may include low blood sugar, headache, back pain, cough, and fatigue.
1 Comment June 29, 2012 wholefed@ Losing weight is not that difficult, you don't need drugs to do it. Eat a lot of plants: beans, legumes, veggies, fruit, whole grains and avoid fat at all costs. Not only has my weight dropped & sustained, my plaque is reversing less than a year after my quadruple bypass surgery. |
