SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Outsmarting Investment Fraud
DESCRIPTION:We will view and discuss a one-hour video that describes a number of investment fraud schemes designed to separate investors from their money. It was produced by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).  \n\nIt will show you no one is immune to this problem. FINRA has partnered with Better Investing magazine to bring this program to the public. \n\nThis class available to those 50 and over meets for two hours each on Thursdays September 22 and 29.\n\nBob Shaw is a Director for the Southeast Michigan Chapter of Better Investing and the Vice-President of Industry Stud¬ies for the Better Investing Brighton Investment Club. He co-teaches several investing courses at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Are They \"Getting It\"?
DESCRIPTION:For GSIs\, IAs\, and Postdoctoral Fellows.\n\nClassroom assessment techniques (CATs) are quick and useful ways to gather information on what\, how much\, and how well students learn. Instructors can use the data to create more effective learning environments. Participants in this session will experience several types of CATs and strategize ways to use CATs in their own class.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
DESCRIPTION:Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. Using her stone cutting and silversmithing skills\, she takes on six subjects that impact her isolated world: water\, winter\, plants\, critters\, rocks and the heavens. Her work\, often representational and sometimes narrative\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. Lehndorff was born and raised in Ann Arbor\, and lived in Colorado until 2012. She is a granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn (Hill Auditorium and the “Old Main” U-M Hospital) and daughter of Dr. Edgar A. Kahn\, who headed the neurosurgery department at the U-M Hospital in the 1960s.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Commutative Algebra
DESCRIPTION:This is the second of two talks on joint work of Tigran Ananyan and the speaker.  The main result is that there is a positive integer B(n\,d) such that given n forms F_i of positive degree at most d in a polynomial ring R  in N variables over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic 0 or greater than d (note that B = B(n\,d) does NOT depend on N)\, there exists a regular sequence of forms g_1\, ...\, g_h\, where h is at most B\, of degree at most d such that the F_i are in the ring K[g_1\, ...\, g_h].  This places the  F_i in a \"small\" polynomial subring of R over which R is faithfully flat (in fact\, free).  This implies Stillman's conjecture that the projective dimension of the ideal I  generated by the F_i is bounded independent of N    in the case where the characteristic is 0  or large:  it will be at most B(n\,d).  The authors had earlier shown this only up to degree 4.   One can also bound all numerical data about the primary decomposition of I independent of N.  The authors have also obtained these results for d = 2 and d = 3 with no restriction on the characteristic\, and in degree 4 except in characteristic 2.  Many open questions remain.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:“Measuring Immigrant Integration”
DESCRIPTION:The talk proposes a standard measure of immigrant integration – i.e. the degree to which immigrants have the knowledge and the capacity to achieve success in their host society – that permits the comparison of immigrant communities over time and across contexts. To justify our measure\, we first show the costs for a research community when every study relies on its own specification of what constitutes successful integration. We then adumbrate the criteria for a successful measure. Once set\, we outline six dimensions of integration—psychological\, economic\, political\, social\, linguistic and navigational – each with a set of survey questions. With these questions\, we run pretests to determine the degree to which our questions meet our criteria for a good measure\, and to reduce our tool to six key questions that could be incorporated in all studies of integration at low cost. We report on the data we have so far collected and the issues they raise. However imperfect\, we foresee substantial payoffs for scientific progress of community “buy in” for our measure.\n \nBio:\nDavid D. Laitin is the James T. Watkins IV and Elise V.

He received his PhD in political science from UC Berkeley. Over his career\, as a student of comparative politics\, he has conducted field research in Somalia\, Yorubaland (Nigeria)\, Catalonia (Spain)\, Estonia\, and France\, focusing on issues of language and religion\, and how these cultural phenomena link nation to state. In collaboration with James Fearon\, he has published papers on ethnic conflict and civil war\; in collaboration with Alan Krueger\, Eli Berman and Jacob Shapiro\, has published papers on suicide terrorism. His most recent book “Why Muslim Integration Fails in Christian-heritage Societies” (co-authored with Claire Adida and Marie-Anne Valfort) was published by Harvard University Press.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Development
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nHow do labor market opportunities for men and women affect fertility decisions\, and do impacts differ by employment type? I study how jobs in the formal sector\, in manufacturing\, and at export-assembly plants (maquiladoras) in Mexico shape childbirth\, selection into fertility\, and the timing of births. I adopt two complementary identification strategies. The first strategy exploits exogenous shocks to local demand for male versus female labor using a shift-share index\, and the second uses establishment-level data from the universe of maquiladoras to construct an instrumental variable based on large expansions and contractions in plant employment. Results show that positive shocks in the short run to men's employment have large\, positive effects on fertility\, whereas positive shocks to women's employment have negligible impacts in the short run.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar: Physiographic factors control carbon distribution and biogeochemical cycling in a glaciated northern forest landscape
DESCRIPTION:Physiographic factors\, including parent material\, topography\, climate\, soils\, and hydrology\, are fundamental bottom-up controls on ecosystem functioning. These factors are inter-related\, and understanding their roles in shaping overarching\, integrative ecosystem functions such as carbon storage and biogeochemical cycling are crucial to appreciating the functioning of ecosystems at larger scales (e.g.\, watersheds to landscapes). At UMBS\, a rich ecosystem classification framework makes it possible to place studies of carbon cycling and biogeochemistry in a larger spatial and conceptual realm. I will offer results and synthesis from several UMBS-based projects aimed at understanding C cycling and biogeochemical processes in soils and vegetation\, focusing on three key findings: 1) Physiographic factors explain the spatial distribution of carbon stocks across the landscape\; 2) Pedogenic pathways control the fate of the largest carbon stocks on the landscape\; 3) Groundwater is the most important physical force shaping soil development\, carbon distribution and biogeochemical cycling on the landscape.\n\nLight refreshments served at 4 p.m.
