8:38AM - Paperback “The Draft Contract” by Polina Shinkina

“The Draft Contract” is a one-topic textbook from the series of the textbooks related to discussion of different aspects of business contract terms in the Chinese language. The textbook contains a number of useful phrases and words which might be used in the process of business negotiations.

The main purpose of this textbook is developing speaking skills by means of studying general questions. The skill of asking questions is very important in business talks with the Chinese trading partners as well as in business correspondence.

The grammar of this textbook presents different types of general questions, such as general questions with modal verbs and alternative questions. Each exercise includes one type of question and it makes the study process comfortable and easy to memorize.

8:54AM - Wednesday in the Library: Intersections Meeting

Meet near the circulation desk in the Library (ask for Matt Quinlin).

(Matt, I don't have Jason's address, can you reply with it?)

Meeting Agenda to follow. Send me any agenda item you have.

12:08AM - Meeting Tomorrow Cancelled!

Please respond with a good meeting time:
Wednesday next week, 10:00 am, 12:00 Noon or 2:00 PM or 4:00 PM

Don

10:50AM - Meeting this week!

Let's meet Wednesday at Matt Quinlin's office (ask for him at the circulation desk in the library) at 2:00. If you are coming later than 2, please ask at the info desk where you can find Matt's Intersections Meeting.

Wednesday is Club Rush Day, I'm going to do some flyers tonight and Joey is going to get the academic clubs to put our journal promos out. Great idea Joey.

I'm going to schedule a "how to" livejournal meeting. It can be just before, or after our Wednesday meeting. Or, if someone has a laptop, and we can get a connection in the place we are going to meet, we could go over it during the meeting.

9:49AM - The Best Intentions

I'd intended to have a meeting today at 2, but I'm flying out today around then, so it won't be happening. Sorry for being less than in contact. Let's meet on Wednesday at 2 at Matt Quinlins office. Let me know if that won't work.

11:45AM - Meeting Cancelled

Our second staff meeting is cancelled for tomorrow so members of the staff can attend the funeral of Ryan Dodds.

I'm sorry if this is an inconvenience to anyone.

5:07AM - An Additional Goal

In addition to scholarly, well-researched, stimulating articles, I would like to publish these articles so that they have some sort of thematic development, or cohesiveness. In other words, in choosing among equally good submissions we should publish those that tell some sort of tale.

1:16PM - Note

In the next five days I will make an effort to contact Jim Price and Renee Van Buren regarding student submissions from the biology/ecology/genetics area of study. I will also contact John Reese in an effort to find photography students interested in submitting art (although, since Jason is spearheading the formatting project, it might be wise for him to make art contacts?)

I am also looking for editors from the Computer Science program.

Will keep posted on progress.

1:07PM - Note: Ryan Blohm

Ryan Blohm has also accepted a position on our staff.

1:05PM - Note: Katherine Tew

Katherine Tew has accepted a position on our staff (thanks Joey).

12:44PM - Staff, Layout, and Promotion

Staff

Gaylnn Parker
Today I added Gaylynn Parker to our staff. I'll let her introduce herself here later, but she is a technical writer and is going to be able to help us get some good papers. I've sort of layed out my vision for her, so let me put it to you here:

Consensus Operation: Staff functions in consensus mode. We argue for what we want to do, and we must all agree in order to proceed. I will function as a block-breaker where needed, but I don't anticipate needing to do that. Any idea is subject to group ratification. I will admit to being a rather intense personality, but I wear that in the expectation that if I will be told so by my co-workers.

Publishing Goals:We will publish papers that were highly evaluated in terms of academic excellence (including proper rigour), intellectual stimulation, and the integration of disciplines, in that order. Thus, an integrated but unstimulating paper is worth less than an academically excellent, stimulating one. Intellectual stimulation, is of course, a much more subjective discipline.

Work Progression Part of my job is to make sure we deliver the goods. As such we need to communicate in several ways. I'm asking each of you to participate in this electronic forum, here is the central place for all public debate (papers will be discussed privately) and discussion. We will have a meeting weekly where will will hammer out issues that require face to face communication, and we want to find a time that is good for everyone. If someone can't make the meeting they will look to this forum to comprehend what was done and offer objections if there are any.

My Goals One of my rather immediate goals is to get more Science, Engineering and Business representation on our staff, and hopefully, like horses running to water, a selection of submissions from those areas. Matt Quinlin has an idea for someone who might qualify in the area of the Sciences (Integrated Studies student).

Layout

I have spoken to him yet, but I nominate Jason Call to direct the format change effort. I'm excited by his enthusiasm and vision. What do you say? (note, I'm not saying do all the work, but to make sure we do what we need to do to achieve the format change). I would like to come up with a date that either says the new format is ready to enter data into or we abandon the effort and inhabit the old format. I'm of course assuming it is easier to inhabit the old format.

Promotion

I'd like to take the additional responsiblity of promotion. I'd like to work with any of you that know professors chair, or deans to promote the journal in their respective departments. I'm going to bring in some fliers to distribute to each department, with discipline specific content in the flyers. Anyone who wants to help here, is welcome.
