"When will the ratings be updated?" wonders Andreas. "Looks like the first two rounds of the main Congress tournament are in there, but nothing after Wednesday, none of the Self-Paired."
In general, tournaments are rated within a week of our receiving the tournament results report from the tournament director. From time to time there are delays as we have to clarify some of the results with the tournament directors…its very easy to transpose a number in a players AGA ID, for instance. Please rest assured that we will rate the tournaments as quickly as possible.

Go Game Guru Marks 1st Anniversary
Tuesday August 23, 2011
Go Game Guru — a frequent contributor to the E-Journal — celebrated its first anniversary on August 22. A collaboration between two go players, Younggil An and David Ormerod – with regular contributions by Jingning – Go Game Guru provides reliable and well-produced international go news, as well as tips for how to improve at go, including lessons for beginners, study techniques, go problems and commentaries. Younggil An is an 8-dan professional go player with the Korean Baduk Association who won the 'Prize of Victory of the Year' in 1998. After completing compulsory military service, Younggil left Korea to teach and promote go around the world. He now runs Young Go Academy in Sydney, Australia and writes for Go Game Guru. Ormerod is a go enthusiast who has been playing the game for nearly ten years. In 2010, he represented Australia at the 31st World Amateur Go Championship in Hangzhou, China.
Laughter Goes Hand-in-Hand with Learning at Guo Juan Workshop
Monday August 22, 2011
Fifteen go players attended the Fifth Annual NC Guo Juan Workshop, held August 12-14, in Raleigh, North Carolina. Almost half of the attendees were young players, and three were new local players, reports local organizer Bob Bacon. "The registration fees for the first six young players were generously paid by an anonymous Triangle Go Group member," Bacon adds. Guo "gave a number of interesting and helpful lectures and reviewed games," co-organizer Thomas McCarthy tells the E-Journal. "She also provided us with the opportunity to play against her in a simultaneous format, and treated us to the joys of Survivor Go." Workshop participant strength ranged from beginner to 3-dan, "and Guo Juan's instruction and assistance was perfectly adjusted to each person's strength. Laughter went hand in hand with learning, and everyone came away with a stronger appreciation of this wonderful game," said Bacon.

Ting Li 1P Visits the Schaumburg Go Club
Monday August 22, 2011
Ting Li 1P visited the Chicago area after the recent U.S. Go Congress and paid a visit to the Schaumburg Go Club. "She wanted to see 'American go' played in a coffee shop," said Lee Hunyh 1d, a club member and Chicago native whom Ting happened to ask at Congress about the local sights. Ting graciously played two simuls — winning all her games, of course — gave a game review, and signed a board. "She speaks Chinese, Japanese, and English, and hence was able to review each simul game in the native language of the club member," says local organizer Daniel Smith. Many club members had never met a professional player before, and "everyone greatly appreciated the time Ting spent with us,"
Smith added.
Park Younghun Wins World Meijin Tournament
Sunday August 21, 2011
Park Younghun 9P took the World Meijin title for Korea on Saturday (August 20), defeating China's Jiang Weijie 5P and Japan's Iyama Yuta 9P. The 2nd World Meijin tournament – officially called the China Changde Cup, World Mingren Championship – was a contest between the domestic Meijin title holders in China, Japan and Korea. In China and Korea the titles are called Mingren and Myeongin respectively. The format of the tournament was similar to the recent Bosai Cup. There were three rounds and two wins were required to take the title. In the first round, Park defeated Iyama, securing a place in the final. Jiang, who drew a bye in round 1, eliminated Iyama in round 2. Park won the final in 132 moves, after successfully fending off Jiang's last ditch attempt to kill one of his groups. Congratulations Park Younghun!
Correction: While we're on topic of Park Younghun, in last week's article: Park Junghwan Wins Fujitsu Cup, Breaks Record we incorrectly reported that Park Junghwan 9P had broken Lee Sedol 9P's record as the youngest ever winner of the Fujitsu Cup. While it's true that Park Junghwan now holds that record, one sharp-eyed E-Journal reader pointed out that it was in fact Park Younghun's record that was broken. Park Younghun broke Lee's record by almost two months when he won the Fujitsu Cup in 2004. The original article has been updated.

Never Too Much Go in Bay Area
Saturday August 20, 2011
A diverse playing field ranging from 7 dan to 26 kyu gathered in Palo Alto, CA on August 13 for the Bay Area Go Players Association monthly AGA ratings tournament. "I was worried that most of our regular players would still be recovering from the US Go Congress and wouldn't make it," admits tournament organizer Roger Schrag. But 29 kids and adults played in the tournament, more than half of them having just returned from the US Go Congress less than a week earlier. "Perhaps the Congress energized these players and reminded them how rewarding face to face go play can be," Schrag suggests. Tony Xie 5d (playing White on the middle board in the photo) swept the dan division with an impressive 4-0 record. In the kyu division, Raymond Feng 6k and Bryan Tan 13k led with four wins and one loss each. The next monthly AGA ratings tournament in the San Francisco Bay Area will be held September 10 in Palo Alto. Photo by Lisa Schrag; click here for more photos.
The Traveling Board: College Students Discover China
Saturday August 20, 2011
Cherry Shen 6d reports on her experiences this summer:
I've traveled to China several times before but none of my trips were quite as insightful or fun as this one. On July 22-30, a team of 11 American undergraduates and graduates had the amazing opportunity to attend the 1st U.S.-China Go Camp/College Student Exchange, simultaneously playing go and learning about China's rich culture and history. The group consisted of 10 students (William Lockhart, Steven Palazola, Cherry Shen, David Glekel, Zachary Winoker, Michael Haskell, Michael Fodera, Dan Koch, Brian Lee, and Cole Pruitt) and one team leader (Walther Chen), most of them hailing from the East Coast . Exploring China with a group of go enthusiasts was hilarious, eye-opening, and extremely memorable. As soon as we landed from the airport, we were showered with generosity and overwhelming hospitality from the members of the Ing foundation, Mrs. Lu, translators, other go players, and everyone else. The university hotels we stayed at were great and the authentic Chinese food was incredible. Aside from the mind-blowing go-themed hotel, go schools, and go lectures hall, I also learned about the many cultural aspects of China during our trips to the Great Wall of China, Yu Garden, Shanghai Financial District, and more. The presence of go in China was so impressive, especially when we were introduced to numerous 4-5 dans who were 7/8 year-olds at the Hangzhou Go School. We also had unique opportunities to receive teaching games from professionals, meet other college go students, and tour go facilities. This journey has been unbelievably amazing and enriching; and I hope we can reciprocate this experience to future visiting Chinese college students. - Special E-J Report by Cherry Shen.

2012 HY Results
Consolidated results as at 30 June 2012
Continued investments
A decisive year
Confirmation of the CHO POWER MORCENX plant start in production
Europlasma's Board of Directors met on 29 October 2012 and authorised the release of the consolidated accounts for the half year ended 30/06/2012.
Revenue of EUR21.365m, -EUR4.396m vs 30/06/2011, the successful commissioning of the CHO Morcenx plant still being the event that will convert the projects portfolio into sales contracts within the Renewable Energy segment
EBITDA of -EUR1.786m, -EUR1.367m vs 30/06/2011
Operating result of -EUR3.596m, -EUR1.473m vs 30/06/2011, affected by unfavourable non-recurring factors within the Renewable Energy and Hazardous Waste segments
Net result, Group share of -EUR3.45m, -EUR1.089m vs 30/06/2011
Self-financing capacity of -EUR1.636m, -EUR1.704m vs 30/06/2011
Net investments of EUR5.493m compared to EUR9.325m over the 1st half of 2011, linked to the development of the renewable energy segment over the 2 periods
Net debt of EUR11.931m compared to EUR3.535m as at 31/12/2011
Commenting on these figures, Didier Pineau, Managing Director, said:
"The Europlasma Group has invested or secured investment for more than €50 million on its Morcenx site over the last two years; thus, €42m have been invested in CHO Morcenx, €7m in KIWI and €2m in the Inertam process.
These large investments illustrate the Group's ability to mobilise investors on its technologies and embody the industrial policy followed for several years.
In parallel, the Group has also expensed its share of financing together with the energy of its employees to implement the CHO Morcenx plants and the KIWI pilot. 2012 is a year devoted to the industrial development of the Renewable Energy segment and to the improvement of operational performances of the Hazardous Waste segment. While the financial performance of 2012 is reflective of these investments, we expect the positive impact on the operating results to be realised in 2013.
As such, Directors and management believe in a positive outlook: with respect to CHO Power, the plant has already started mid October and has produced several hundreds of MWh with a peak power of 6MW and the Group is still focused on its tune-up; what regards Inertam, the significant production improvements in terms of quantity and quality will be fully visible from 2013; regarding Europe Environnement, margins are recovering and the reorganisation measures are already beneficial; For KIWI, the prototype is now operational and initial results are encouraging.
The Board of Directors has initiated discussions regarding an increase in the Group's equity at all levels with the intention of giving it the means to fund for the latest development of CHO Morcenx and for the construction of new plants."
Activity and results

The half-year 2012 consolidated turnover amounted to €21.365m, compared to €25.76m realised as at 30/06/2011. This overall reduction of €4.396m is explained by the drops in turnover recorded in the Renewable Energy and Air & Gas segments of respectively €1.162m and €4.027m, which were partially offset by the increased turnover achieved in the Hazardous Waste and Torch & Process segments of respectively €0.443m and €0.35m.
The renewable energy business recorded a turnover of €4.545m, representing 21% of the Group's turnover as at 30/06/2012 (stable compared with 30/06/2011). This revenue is linked to the EPC contract of the energy from waste and biomass plant at Morcenx, for which the completion rate was lower over the 1st half 2012 than over the first half 2011.
The Air & Gas activity contributed 57% of the 1st half year 2012 consolidated turnover, with revenues of €12.281m, compared to €16.308m at 30/06/2011 (63% of the consolidated turnover). The activity for the 1st half of 2012 was as steady as per the 1st half of 2011 what regards historical business, the change in the turnover being related to the Sharp/Air Liquide contract which ended in the second half of 2011. In addition, in order to achieve cost savings and enhance its competitiveness, Europe Environnement SA merged with its subsidiaries Protech'Air and Europ-Plast on respectively 01/07/2011 and 01/01/2012, their activities being continued within Europe Environnement.
The hazardous waste destruction activity grew by nearly 15% at 30/06/2012 compared to 30/06/2011 and contributed €3.594m of the consolidated turnover, reflecting a rise in the average price invoiced and in the volume of asbestos waste treated (1,834 tons treated as at 30/06/2012 versus 1,768 tons as at 30/06/2011). The commercial activity remained steady over the first half of 2012, with a 20% growth in the tonnage received in comparison with 30/06/2011.
Europlasma Torch & Process's activity generated a turnover of €944,000, compared to €594,000 at 30/06/2011; this was essentially in line with the status of the KNPP contract: at 30/06/2012, the majority of the equipment was being made, prior to the tests planned this winter on the Morcenx site. The after sales service provisions were also steady, in Japan in particular.
The Group continued its investments in the 3 major R&D projects of the Torch & Process segment: KIWI, ANR Turboplasma® and SESCO.
Operational performance
The operating result shows a loss of €3.596m at 30/06/2012, as opposed to €2.122m at 30/06/2011, linked mainly to the performances in the Hazardous Waste (-€1.284m vs -€1.279m at 30/06/2011) and Renewable Energy (-€1.905m vs -€34,000 at 30/06/2011) segments .
The Hazardous Waste plant performed better than in the first half of 2011, despite new technical issues encountered in the load preparation area. This performance improvement in the hazardous waste process is compensated by new costs arising from the future operations of the CHO Morcenx plant, personal costs mainly, ca. 20 employees having been recruited over the period. The significant investment finalised in late September 2012 in the load preparation aims to prevent incidents upstream of the process through a better incoming mix and to achieve significant performance improvements.
The operating losses recorded by the Renewable Energy segment are basically linked to the revision made on the Morcenx plant construction contract of the margin on completion: the scheduled date of handover of the plant by its client CHO Morcenx, initially set for the end of the first half-year, has been postponed until the second half of 2012 and the financial costs associated with this postponement have been recorded in the costs at completion of the EPC contract.
Other income increased by €2.518m to €5.743m at 30/06/2012 as a result of:
- the increase in capitalised production, corresponding to the work undertaken by the Group on the CHO plant buildings in Morcenx, the KIWI research and development platform and the Inertam production tool;
- the subsidies recognised in the profit and loss account as regards the hiring of the Morcenx CHO plant operating teams and the work in progress.
Staff expenses went up by 8% at 30/06/2012 compared to 30/06/2011, to €6.908m, following the recruitment effected for the operation of the CHO plant in Morcenx in particular.
The other non-recurring operating expenses and income at 30/06/2012 basically involved disposals of assets.
Net income
The tax income of €0.233m recorded at 30/06/2012 corresponds to a tax payable expense of €0.133m and a deferred tax income of €0.365m.
The share of profits in the equity-accounted companies amounts to a loss of €28t, which is broken down into a loss of €43t for CHO Morcenx and a profit of €15t for RHE America, as opposed to a loss of €97t at 30/06/2011 (of which €195t was a loss for CHO Morcenx and €19t was a profit for RHE America).
The share of minority interests in the net result at 30/06/2012 is a share of €0.173m of losses, as opposed to a share of €0.155m of losses at 30/06/2011.
The Group share of the net result corresponds to a loss of €3.45m compared to a loss of €2.362m achieved at 30/06/2011. The Renewable Energy (-€1.689m) and Hazardous Waste Destruction (-€1.354m) segments recorded the majority of the loss, due to the reasons previously listed.
The Group's Board of Directors and Morcenx's financial partner both renewed their trust in the Group and, in this respect:
- a major investment was made after the half-year was closed to optimise the operation of the asbestos vitrification plant, especially in the load preparation;
- as part of the renegotiations following the postponement of the plant handover date, the financial partner renewed its interest in the Group's technology and know-how by extending the exclusivity and territorial clauses over future projects.

The balance sheet total was €87.115m at 30/06/2012, compared to €88.495m at 31/12/2011 and €77.478m at 30/06/2011.
Within the balance sheet assets, this change is the result of an increase in non-current assets and a reduction in current assets when compared with 31/12/2011, because of:
- significant investment in tangible assets (€5.228m) during the half-year on the KIWI research and development platform (€1.44m), on the CHO plant buildings at Morcenx (€2.281m) and on the Inertam production tool (nearly €1m at 30/06/2012);
- a loan granted in respect of a project being developed with Sunrise Renewables (€0.3m) within other non-current assets);
- a reduction in current financial assets, in particular trade and other accounts receivable, because of the level of activity;
- a reduction in the cash related to operating activities and from investments, partially offset by flows from financing.
Within the balance sheet liabilities, the change is broken down as follows:
- equity went down by €3.528m, basically due to the loss for the period;
- non-current liabilities increased by €4.861m, mainly linked to the increase in bank loans, namely:
- drawdowns made from banking partners in respect of the construction of the building of the Morcenx plant,
- and the financing obtained from OSEO in respect of investment and growth projects for the hazardous waste treatment segment.
- current liabilities went down as a result of the level of activity.
The group's net debt was €11.931m at 30/06/2012, compared to a net debt of €3.535m at 31/12/2011, with the gearing going from 8.7% to 26.3%. The 2 segments which generated cash flow during the half-year were Hazardous Waste Destruction (€2.661m) and Air & Gas (€1.008m). The other 2 segments (Torch & Process and Renewable Energy) used €3.623m and €3.459m respectively, basically corresponding to an adverse change in the WCR and an increase in the advances granted to other operating segments for the former and a cash deficit on the operating activities for the latter.
Post-balance sheet events and outlook for 2012
Within the Renewable Energy branch, the Group inaugurated the Morcenx energy production plant on 9 July and is focusing on its start-up and ramp-up. The success of these objectives is a priority for the Group which is, at the same time, continuing with the commercial development of that segment of activity. The start of the operation of the Morcenx CHO plant under the O&M (Operations and Maintenance) contract should also help to increase the turnover.
The hazardous waste treatment activity should improve its operational performance thanks to the major new investment made in the load preparation area during the summer of 2012. These expected improvements in performance should be noticeable on a full-year basis from 2013.
The air and gas treatment activity carried out by the Europe Environnement sub-group is developing favourably due to the recovery in industrial orders and also increased exposure to export, rather than the less profitable government contracts, which should improve the operating margin for 2012.
The postponement of the order for the 3rd gas treatment line of the 3Sun plant in Italy should result in a decline in the 2012 turnover but should show an improvement in the result contributed by the Europe Environnement sub-group.
Finally, the Torch & Process segment will continue fulfilling the KNPP contract and its investments in Research and Development: the KIWI/ANR Turboplasma® pilot was commissioned at the start of October for an initial series of tests. 3 series of additional tests are planned over the end of the year and 13 more over 2013/2014 with different types of waste.

Samsung's Tiny HD Camcorder, The HMX-R10, Gets Priced & Possibly Slated For Release
Holy small HD camcorder Samsung! Yup, that's right, this little camcorder, the HMX-R10, which measures 130 x 38 x 58mm (5.1″ x 1.5″ x 2.3″) is the smallest in its class. They've also managed to jam a 9MP sensor in for stills photos, 5x optical zoom and a 2.7-inch LCD touchpanel. Samsung even angled the lens at 25 degrees to make it easier to hold and shoot (I'm thinking underhand grip only). Launch date for this wolf in sheep's clothing is rumored to be April in the UK and summer in the US. Price, which still hasn't been officially confirmed, is said to be $550.

Striker out for longer than anticipated
Wolves' top scorer Sylvan Ebanks-Blake will face a longer spell on the sidelines than initially anticipated after his ankle injury proved to be worse than first feared.
Ebanks-Blake suffered a broken fibula in the 3-2 win at Birmingham nine days ago, but there was also further damage to his ankle ligaments which will mean a longer spell on the sidelines and a battle to be ready for pre-season.
"Unfortunately his injury is worse than we first thought," said boss Dean Saunders.
"He's had one operation but there were a few other complications with the ankle ligaments as well.
"We don't know how long for definite but he may not be ready for the start of pre-season.
"So it's a massive blow for him but we'll have to wait until the end of the season and address that in the summer now.
"We need to see what division we're in and see how he recovers."
Head of Wolves' medical department Phil Hayward added: "The damage to Sylvan's ankle was more extensive than the scan first revealed, and as a result surgery was more complicated and he will be out for a longer period of time than initially anticipated."
Ebanks-Blake, who has notched 15 goals this season, is out of contract at the end of the campaign, and Saunders has already gone on record to say he would like to offer him a new deal.
"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it but the main thing is Sylvan getting his ankle right," he added.

Pacific Ethanol to increase ethanol yields at Stockton plant
Send this to a friend

- Staff Writer- Sacramento Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Facebook
Beginning this quarter, Sacramento-based Pacific Ethanol Inc. will deploy technology that is expected to increase ethanol yields at its Stockton ethanol plant to between 2 percent and 4 percent, the company announced Friday.
Pacific Ethanol (NASDAQ: PEIX) has entered into an agreement with Visalia-based Edeniq to expand production by deploy both its proprietary Cellunators technology to boost ethanol yields and its patented OilPlus corn oil extraction process to increase corn oil recovery.
Pacific Ethanol has four ethanol plants in the western U.S., including plants in California, Oregon and Idaho with a combined capacity of 200 million gallons per year. The Stockton plant has the capacity to produce 60 million gallons per year.
"Edeniq's technology will allow us to increase efficiency and create additional value for our customers," Neil Koehler, CEO of Pacific Ethanol, said in a news release. "Our partnership with Edeniq improves our ability to compete in the marketplace."
In addition to improving yields, the Cellunators technology also allows the Sacramento company to adopt Edeniq's Pathway technology, which enables a conventional ethanol plant to produce cellulosic ethanol. Koehler said the agreement positions the company to "produce advanced biofuels within a corn ethanol plant" and improve overall plant profitablity."
Edeniq has similar technology agreements with five other ethanol producers across the country. The company owns and operates a demonstration-scale production facility in Visalia, which is converting a range of cellulosic feedstock into low-cost celluosic sugars and cellulosic ethanol.

This book will describe the reactions of the elements and their simpler compounds, primarily inorganic ones and primarily in water, organized to facilitate reference. It will emphasize similarities and differences in actual chemical behavior as opposed to electronic structure and theories. The book will offer the more comprehensive coverage of descriptive aqueous chemistry in older sources, interpreted with the added insights of the last seven decades, plus new information, including reactions of the recently discovered elements. It will include more recent information on equilibrium constants, sometimes with mostly qualitative kinetic data, to interpret the redox and non-redox phenomena that complicate the chemistry of most elements in water.

ASC Hosts Quietest Dance Ever
By Julia Howell and Joshua Cayetano "The Loudest Dance You've Never Heard," a silent dance, was held Nov. 1 in the GFU library. The dance was part of a new trend sweeping cities and college campuses across the country known as a silent disco. Participants receive wireless headphones and dance to music played simultaneously by a deejay. To anyone without headphones, the sight appears to be a room full of people dancing to nothing. Everyone who purchased a ticket was put into a drawing, and one person will win a pair of Beats Headphones. Student Lauralee Schoenburg attended the dance and found it a lot of fun. "I thought it was very fun and anything but silent–unless you took off your headphones–and then it was awkward and funny. But that's what made it unique, and my favorite dance that I've ever gone to," said Schoenburg. ASC Dances Director Sarah MacKenzie found out about the silent disco trend after looking for venues for last year's Spring Formal. "When [ASC] toured a roof top venue last year for spring formal, the coordinator told us about 'silent disco' as an option," she said. "We did some research and found out it is a big thing in cities and on college campuses." The silent disco is a popular trend for places where a noise curfew would be an issue. Traditional dances often feature loud speakers and noise pollution that can be disturbing. For the city of Portland, "excessive" noise, described in the city Municipal Code, is prohibited between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. In Newberg, the hours are the same, except on the weekends: 10 p.m. to 10 a.m. The wireless headphones were provided by Silent Storm Sound System, a silent disco equipment provider and headphone event production company. According to the Silent Storm website, silent dances can have many benefits; besides the lack of sound to observers, participants can choose from up to two different channels of music and control their own volume. The deejay for the dance was Deejay Avalanche, who has performed at the Fred Meyer night during Welcome Weekend for the past two years. The music will be dance and techno music, with "no dirty or inappropriate songs, of course," said MacKenzie. MacKenzie sees this kind of dance becoming an option for more GFU events. "It may become a tradition," she said. As to the unusual location, MacKenzie said ASC chose the library because a dance has never been planned there. Dances are usually held in the EHS atrium or Klages Dining Hall. "It kind of goes along with the 'silent' theme," said MacKenzie. "We liked the idea of changing the [calm] study place on campus to a dance for one night."Read More...
November 19, 2014George Fox University's IDEA Center has hired a new career coach. Elise Gibson, a graduate of Azusa Pacific University (APU), began work on Oct. 20. "I'm really excited because I'm finally doing something I'm passionate about," said Gibson, "and helping students pursue their passion that can help them sustain a good life." Gibson spent two years at APU working for their career services department. "I wanted to work in a faith based institution," said Gibson."I love the core values that the institution was built on, and they're still trying to maintain those values today after so many years. . . I love this campus, I love all the students, and the whole ethos of GFU, it's way different from anything I've ever felt before." As a career coach, Gibson will be working with students to help them create a professional image. She will be helping students with their Linkedin profiles, as well as other professional skills like interviewing. Gibson will also be working to maintain professional relationships between the school and outside businesses. "One of our responsibilities is maintaining external relations so I can accurately prepare student for those business situations," she said. "If a student leaves happy, I did my job," said Gibson. "The IDEA Center really is the one stop for student's academic success, everything here is to help students identify, and carry out their calling." An appointment with a career and academic planning (CAP) coach can be made by going to the IDEA Center, located on the first floor of the Stevens building, and talking to any of the office staff.
November 19, 2014One of the lesser known clubs on campus, Quaere Verum (QV), is an eleven-year-old interdisciplinary discussion club that meets weekly to discuss contemporary and relevant issues of faith, ethics, politics and the like. Club members emphasize the importance of respectful yet honest conversation in order to approach, though not necessarily reach, the truth. An egalitarian club, with the exception of a faculty adviser, QV has no president or vice-president, only three co-officers who share the duties and responsibilities of organization within the club. One such officer, Tyler Maybury, shared his thoughts on QV: "I love hearing what people have to say… It's a good way to stir the pot and not get so stuck in our own way of thinking." Recent topics have included: feminism (in particular, a response to Emma Watson's remarks at the UN), how Satan is presented in both the New and Old Testament literature (the faculty adviser is Brian Doak), as well as a guest speaker, Bible professor Paul Anderson, who spoke on truth and liberation as a "kind of Quaker understanding of Jesus," as Maybury put it. Maybury's hope for QV is that "people continue to be willing to share their thoughts together and listen to each other. This is the important part [of] QV." He described the silence between ideas shared, "That shows that they are really listening to each other, thinking about what [the speaker] said." Finally, Maybury was excited to let the GFU community know about Quaere Verum. "We all have different ideas… We always have homemade soup and fresh bread," he offered by way of persuasion to try the club out. Though the soup is no doubt appreciated, it takes no stretch of the imagination to see that Maybury, as well as the other QV members, are far more interested in the diversity of the ideas shared and the possibility to learn more about the world through their peers. QV meets Tuesday evening from 7-8:30 p.m. at 603 North Meridian Street, across the street from campus. All are welcome.
November 17, 2014Tausha Rene, vice president of Finance, has stepped down from her position on the Associated Student Community (ASC). She has been replaced by Haley Knieling, former financial assistant to Rene, as of Nov. 12. "Both Tausha and Haley have a commitment to ASC transparency," said Jake Vanier, ASC president. "What's different from last year is this is a smooth transition. We're not missing a step, and the vision is still to remain financially solvent. ASC is fine, and we're pressing forward just like usual." Rene started this semester as a finance major, but then switched to accounting. According to Vanier, accounting majors must spend several hours a week conducting informational interviews with professionals in the field. This, combined with a daily commute from Tualatin, are cited for the main reasons of her resignation. Rene handed in her resignation on Oct. 27, giving the ASC central committee two weeks to find a replacement. "We weren't confined to hiring internally," said Vanier. "We did try to seek out other people on campus, but the number one candidate was someone who was already in ASC." "I'm really excited because I've been preparing for it," said Knieling. "Stepping into this challenges me, and I'm excited for advocating for students, and having a role in the leadership for students." Knieling will serve in the position until the ASC elections in the spring semester. The vice president of finance serves on the Central Committee, and has a vote in all important ASC matters. She or he is also expected to meet with students to discuss reimbursement, to co-sign on all ASC contracts, and to handle ASC HR details and processes. Prior to the 2014-15 school year, the vice president of finance position was known as the "treasurer." It was not an elected position, and selection of potential candidates was done by the central committee. This led to the hiring of Brandon Yoshihara in 2012, who served in the position until early 2014, when he stepped down due to a mismanagement of funds. Rene began her work as treasurer shortly after. After this, the committee amended the constitution to change the office of treasurer to an elected position.
November 7, 2014The George Fox University administration has confirmed that a new residence hall will be constructed on the east side of campus. The university hopes to begin construction by Dec. 15 in an effort to prepare for the next fall's semester of incoming freshmen. "We have been discussing a new residence hall for the past four years," said Brad Lau, vice president of Student Life. "However, we began the conversation again after the record enrollment in fall 2013. "We were conservative in waiting for our final fall 2014 enrollment before the Board of Trustees approved moving forward with a new residence hall." The estimated $6.5 million project is a response to two record enrollment years, despite a national decline in student populations. Even though GFU has lowered the off-campus living age, the university is still struggling with giving students a place to live, as well as living up to their "be known" promise. Student Life wants to start construction before the end of this year. "The construction window will be tight," said Keith Schneider, director of Housing. "Even with the goal of breaking ground before the end of the year. Some building projects can take a year or two years depending on the style of building." The currently unnamed residence hall is slated to be constructed on the northeast corner of campus near Coffin and LeShana halls. This will replace two current residence houses: Lyda and Wilhite. The resident assistants of Lyda and Wilhite houses have had several meetings with Dave Johnstone, director of Housing, and Sarah Taylor, area coordinator for Houses and Apartments East, to determine options for the residents of both houses. "We will provide on-campus housing elsewhere, doing all we can to make sure those desiring to stay together are able to do so," said Lau. "However, we have also given them the option of living off-campus if they choose to do so." The new residence hall will house approximately 145-150 students upon completion.
November 6, 2014Downtown Shanghai in 1990 versus 2010 Outsourcing has been a point of debate both politically and economically. However, one thing has remained constant — as we argue over the negatives or positives, the growth of outsourcing has been steady. With unemployment still an issue in the U.S., many laborers have come to despise the term outsourcing and they curl their noses in disgust when they call customer support and hear an Indian on the other end. Economically, some argue that outsourcing sends our dollars overseas and decreases the power of the American economy. However, the truth is that no great economy has been built without first being outsourced to, and outsourcing is a sign that an economy is maturing from industrial to service-based production. First we must understand what outsourcing is and how it plays a part in economic development. Simply put, outsourcing is the act of using labor, factories or other factors of production from countries outside the company headquarters's home country. The most common examples are factories in China, call centers in India and raw materials from Russia or South America. Outsourcing plays a major role in the economic development of fledgling economies; most all large economies have started as an outsourcing market. Let's use the US as an example. When the US was a new country with a small economy, the US economy was mainly an export one. They largely produced goods and then shipped them to Europe. At the time, cotton and tobacco were the primary exports of the U.S. and because the U.S. could produce it more cheaply, many Europeans bought from the U.S. This is called competitive advantage — if one company can produce the same good in a higher quantity or for a lower cost they have a competitive advantage. As economies exploit this competitive advantage, their economy begins to grow and they begin to import more and more and produce less and less until they become a service-based import economy. Finally, we have to understand the affects of outsourcing on the word economy. It is not hard to find people with negative opinions of outsourcing in the US, but if you ask them why they will almost always say the same thing: "It is bad for America's economy." While that statement is widely used and accepted it is wrong in two major aspects. First, outsourcing is incredibly good for the U.S. economy, but it is bad for liberal politicians, as low income laborers are their primary voting base. Outsourcing boosts corporate profit which leads to growth and the creation of more jobs in higher paid service jobs. This boosts the US economy as people have more to money to spend on things like bigger houses and cars. However, we live in a global world and we cannot forget to consider how outsourcing affects the world. As rich countries like the U.S. demand more and more, the price of producing in-country grows too high and we seek outside countries with a competitive advantage. That country begins to export that good or service to the US; this is outsourcing. Over time, that country's economy grows to the point that they can begin importing goods and services as well and then a new country is sought for outsourcing. This chain reaction of global economic growth is what will eventually erase global poverty and create a free market of economic exchange across the globe. This principle is capitalism, and it is the only proven ideology to create growth and wealth on a global scale.
November 5, 2014On Nov. 1, Sophomore Aaron Altman died after attending a rave in Seattle. The cause of death is unknown and the toxicology report is currently underway. According to King 5, Altman attended the FreakNight Festival and allegedly overdosed on "Molly," a popular party drug. FreakNight is the largest 2-day annual rave held on Halloween. The second night of the festival was cancelled after reports of Altman's death. King 5 also reported that "the Seattle Fire Department said they brought 16 people to the hospital following the first night of FreakNight on Friday, but the Seattle Police Department said late Saturday night that they still did not have a report of a death linked to the event." Mark Pothoff, dean of Community Life, said that Altman's death was first reported two days after the event through social media posts and rumors overheard by a resident assistant. "It was about 48 hours after he died that we heard about it, which we actually thought was a long time, given how information gets passed through social media and through students," said Pothoff. "It's challenging in a situation like this because of the alleged cause of death and what was put out in the media before. His family has said that it was an accidental death and there has been no mention of the causes of how that happened." "We really don't know any of the details of who he was with, but we did hear he was with his brother when he died. I don't know if he was with him the whole time, what actually took place, what he or may not have done," said Pothoff. Altman was a Finance major who lived off campus. According to Pothoff, Altman was a well-connected student who lived in Pennington Hall last year. David Liu, assistant professor of management, had Altman in his Business Ethics class. According to Liu, Altman was a bright and talented student. "He was very participative in class," said Liu. "Very polite, very cordial. He had a lot of insight. I was so proud of him; he was on the dean's list. I will miss him and our class will miss him." "I didn't know him well but every time I saw him, he would would smile and say hi to me," said Junior Mason Kriz. "All of my interactions with him were filled with life. I think my response to his death is more a response to everyone who has been impacted by it. It's hard to see so many people on this campus hurting." Altman's family is hosting a memorial service at Beaverton Foursquare on Nov. 8. Click here for more information. There will be an on-campus gathering in Altman's memory next week. Details about this gathering have not been confirmed. Correction: The date of Altman's death was corrected to Nov. 1.
November 5, 2014Julio Bautista, Nancy Vasquez, and Sandra Lopez, officers of the George Fox University Latino Heritage Club (LHC), stood on the stage in the Chehalem Cultural Center's newly renovated Grand Ballroom and profusely thanked the performers who had just finished sharing poetry, stories and even a song on the subject of life and death. This was just the conclusion of an emotional night for all in attendance, as heart wrenching stories of suicide, murder, abortion and the slow slipping away of a grandfather were told in passionate verse. This was the second of the Latino Heritage Club's Spoken Word Nights. The event was well-attended despite the tempestuous rain. Nearly a dozen artists prepared and performed spoken word pieces as part of a broader celebration of Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). National Hispanic Heritage month, though officially Sept. 15 through Oct. 15, is being observed in close partnership with LHC and the Chehalem Cultural Center through Nov. 21. There are multiple events, from an ongoing exhibition of Latino art, to a bilingual presentation and showing of "The Golden Age of Mexican Cinema." In the words of Julio Bautista, president of LHC, "Part of being in a community is that one acknowledges his or her neighbor. In the same way, LHC invites all students to engage in cross cultural relations on campus. In addition, we invite all to experience and learn about the Latino community and its traditions." Seeking a campus that defies cultural barriers, Bautista and LHC state their purpose as "to support the GFU Latino community, and create the space for GFU to experience Latino food, art, dances, and traditions. The club aims to emphasize the importance of higher education for the Latino community. In doing so, they remain rooted in the legacy left behind by their ancestors."
November 3, 2014A series of shootings rang through Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Canada on Oct. 22. At approximately 9:52 a.m. Michael Zehaf-Bibeau drove up to the Canadian National War Memorial, shot the guard on duty, and proceeded to storm Parliament until he was gunned down by the ceremonial sergeant-at-arms. In an address to the nation, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said, "This week's events are a grim reminder that Canada is not immune to the types of terrorist attacks we have seen elsewhere around the world." Bibeau was a radical and recent convert to Islam. In fact, Bibeau's passport was revoked as he was put on the no-fly list due to suspicions that he was part of the Muslim extremists attempting to go join ISIS in the Middle East. The only two deaths during this attack were Bibeau himself and Captain Nathan Cirillo, who was standing guard. After shots were confirmed on Parliament Hill, many members of Parliament, including the PM, were barricaded within rooms until evening when the 'all clear' was given. This was the second attack within days by a radical Muslim. The first occurred on Oct. 20 when extremist Martin Couture-Rouleau ran over two Canadian soldiers, killing one and injuring another. Police later shot and killed Rouleau in a high-speed chase. Rouleau had converted to Islam in 2013 and was one of the 90 people being monitored by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police for possible national security threats. Rouleau had been arrested earlier in June for suspected terrorist activity, but was released when there was not enough evidence to keep him. Both of these attacks were described by Prime Minister Harper as "terrorist attacks." They come at a time when Harper and the rest of Parliament are discussing anti-terrorist measures and possible responses to the possibility of Canadian Muslim extremists joining ISIS' movement. The Canadian Security Intelligence Service has been given a lot of flak for not being able to stop the attacks, despite monitoring the individuals. Canada, like many other nations in the world, is sadly confronted with the reach and magnitude of the situation in the Middle East as it is forced to deal with the bloody aftermath on its own soil.
October 29, 2014On Oct. 15, John Mark McMillan and his band performed for nearly two and a half hours in Bauman auditorium as a part of his "Are We All Animals" tour. After an opening band led by Justin Jarvis, John Mark McMillan took the stage to thunderous applause and much anticipation from the audience. Associate Pastor of Christian Leadership Jamie Johnson said, "It was a treat to have John Mark McMillan … his lyrics point the listener to Jesus as the giver of all life. What a blessing to hear excellent music made in the name of Jesus. I'd like to thank ASC for all of the work they did to make this concert happen." In agreement, ASC President Jake Vanier remarked, "The whole event was awesome! John Mark McMillan is a fantastic songwriter and singer, and Justin Jarvis did a great job leading the way early on." He also pointed out that ASC is attempting to bring more artists like McMillan to campus. "We started working on the concert in the early spring, so it was a long time coming and it was exciting to see it be successful," Vanier said. On the other hand, two students disagreed with Vanier about McMillan's concert. Sophomore Courtney Dumond "didn't get a lot out of his music." She cited difficulty in hearing his lyrics and none given on the screens as reasons the concert was "not really" spiritually formative. Dumond's favorite part of the concert was, "that it was worship music, especially the first band. They had words on the screen and the lead singer's passion and love for Jesus were genuine." However, as a whole, she "just did not enjoy it very much. I'm sure there were other people who really liked it though." A anonymous senior student was less certain. She said, "I know ASC put a lot of effort into getting that band here, but I thought it was a weird thing to have during a chapel time." She thought that as a concert it should have been offered as elective chapel credit at a time other than normal chapel. She said of Justin Jarvis, "He was singing out Hallelujah at the end of the first song and then right after he finished he said, 'My name is Justin and I just released a CD with Jesus Culture, and I look forward to meeting you at the sales table!' The juxtaposition of his shameless self-promotion and his 'hallelujah' made my stomach turn. People who make money off of leading worship are no better than the money changers that Jesus threw out of the temple."
October 27, 2014On Monday, Oct. 20, the Central Committee convened to discuss upcoming events, proposals, expenditures, and and the approval of the 2014-2015 budget. Recent ASC-led activities include the tailgate before the homecoming game, the John Mark McMillan concert, and the World's Got Talent show. "They were all really successful and the turnout was pretty good," said Kimmer, the vice president of activities and programs. Bigger events are on the way as Halloween approaches such as the Fall Carnival, student concerts, and the Silent Disco. Hints of a hay ride, photobooth, and, possibly, a pie eating contest circulated when discussing the upcoming Fall Carnival. Also confirmed during the meeting was the formation of a fencing club. There are currently three other clubs in the pipework that will be considered by the Central Committee in future meetings. One of the main jobs of the Central Committee is to balance the money allotted to them by GFU. In the meeting, the budget was officially confirmed at $430,299. At first glance, this may seem like a large amount of money, but the Central Committee has divvied up the lump sum into manageable categories, such as the Academic Need Fund. The Academic Need Fund is "used to aid students in furthering their education, spiritual growth, and involvement pursuit onsite and/or offsite of George Fox University," according to the ASC website. During the meeting, the committee was discussing whether to base funding on a case-by-case basis or have a specific set of stipulations for future Central Committees to follow. When discussing the possibility of matching funds, Martinez said, "When I received my funding a few years ago, I felt like I was handed something I should've worked for." Off that comment, the Central Committee continued to discuss guidelines that would maintain their purpose in assisting the students in their academic endeavors while also not compromising GFU's values of hard work and accomplishment. One point of contention during the meeting was GFU students' concerns about the cost of a nine foot Bronze Bear. The Bronze Bear was confirmed by the Central Committee earlier in the year and has an approximate building cost of $70,000. The Central Committee took students' concerns into consideration and were open to reconsidering the building of the Bronze Bear. "If we have viable opportunities to do some things students want, we have an obligation to listen to them," said Vanier. The Central Committee will reconvene on Monday, October 27 at 4 p.m.

NHSO insists healthcare for stateless people job of Health Ministry
The National Health Security Office (NHSO) insisted Monday that the Public Health Ministry should be responsible for providing healthcare services to the 95,000 or so stateless people awaiting citizenship.
With reference to previous news reports that the NHSO had abandoned this group, NHSO chief Dr Winai Swasdivorn said the agency was only complying with the March 2010 Cabinet resolution, in which healthcare coverage for this group was handed over to the Public Health Ministry. He said that under the National Health Security Act, the NHSO could not provide healthcare for stateless people.
