Emotional Intelligence is a way of
recognizing, understanding, and choosing
how we think, feel, and act.
It shapes our interactions with others
and our understanding of ourselves.
It defines how and what we learn;
it allows us to set priorities;
it drives many of our daily actions.
---Freedman et al. Handle With Care: Emotional Intelligence Activity Book, Introduction, 1997/1998

Dr. Sun-yuan Kung had a great deal of achievements in the recent years. The paper entitled "A unification of network coding and tree-packing (routing) theorems" that written by Yunnan Wu, Kamal Jain, and him was an example. It was published on the "IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking (TON) archive, Volume 14 , Issue SI" in June 2006. The Publisher was IEEE Press in Piscataway, NJ, USA. More of them have been shown in the following posted article ("Dr. Sun-yuan Kung (貢~{H}T*~}) ---a famous Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Princeton University").
Beside his academic achievement, last year Dr. Kung wrote an article in Chinese on "How to receive success, self-confidence, and happiness by young people? (~{G`DjHKHg:N;q5C3I9&!"WTPE!"?l@V~})".
Early in September, I spoke to many college students in Beijing. At the time when I was ready to take the freight to go back to U. S., Managing Director Dr. Harry Shum (~{IrOrQs~}) of Microsoft Research Asia (~{N"HmQGV^QP>?T:~}) requested me to write down the findings of communication. "He believes that will benefit many more Chinese young people," said Sun-yuan.

Abstract of talk
Sun-Yuan Kung received his Ph.D. Degree in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University. In 1974, he was an Associate Engineer of Amdahl Corporation, Sunnyvale, CA. From 1977 to 1987, he was a Professor of Electrical Engineering-Systems of the University of Southern California. Since 1987, he has been a Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Princeton University. Since 1990, he has served as an Editor-In-Chief of Journal of VLSI Signal Processing Systems. Dr. Kung is a Fellow of IEEE. He was the recipient of 1992 IEEE Signal Processing Society's Technical Achievement Award for his contributions on "parallel processing and neural network algorithms for signal processing". He was appointed as an IEEE-SP Distinguished Lecturer in 1994. He received 1996 IEEE Signal Processing Society's Best Paper Award. He was a recipient of the IEEE Third Millennium Medal in 2000. He has authored more than 300 technical publications, including three books "VLSI Array Processors", (Prentice Hall, 1988) (with Russian and Chinese translations), "Digital Neural Networks", Prentice Hall, 1993, and "Principal Component Neural Networks'', John Wiley, 1996.*4
Dr. Sun-yuan Kung was a Kenote Speaker at The First IEEE Pacific-Rim Conference on Multimedia (2000 International Symposium on Multimedia Information Processing) on December 13-15, 2000, at the University of Sydney, Australia.
Dr. Kung presented a paper at the IEEE-PCM2000 plenary. The title was "Adaptive Techniques for Intelligent Internet Multimedia Communication".*5 The following was his Abstract:
The new trend of information processing world has rapidly converged to three major technological fields: internet, multimedia, and wireless. In this talk, we will attempt to offer a technological and applicational justification of intelligent technologies for internet multimedia computing/communication. We shall also illuminate how intelligent integration of signal processing and neural net techniques could be a versatile tool to a broad spectrum of multimedia applications. Some examples of adaptive techniques (or neural networks) with applications to internet multimedia commuincation will be
demonstrated.*6
Multimedia technologies will profoundly change the way we access information, and they provide a new opportunity for research interactions among a variety of media such as speech, audio, image, video, text, and graphics. The inevitable merger of the computer industries and information-based consumer and communication industries inevitably introduces new challenges. We investigate various research issues relevant to intelligent multimedia communication applications and implementation technology. We study various adaptive and content-based technologies for MPEG-4 applications, such as compression, indexing, and retrieval of visual information. We look into various areas in video coding and segmentation, including true-motion tracker, global-motion compensated VOP (video-object-plane) coding, video representation, multicue, and multicamera fusion, three-dimensional structure-from-motion analysis, and spatial-temporal interpolation. We study an algorithmic framework that fuses spatial, visual, and motion information from a variety of preprocessing sources: object tracker, motion edge analysis, and so on.*7
Neural networks have become one of the core techniques facilitating intelligent multimedia communication technologies. They are very effective when applied to detection or recognition of high-level features (for example, faces) and multimodality recognition and authentication. These have many critical applications to information representation/retrieval and Internet security, and many focal applications in MPEG-7. For these, we have developed a versatile decision-based neural network that bears a modular structure, while taking advantage of both unsupervised and supervised learning strategies. We look into novel neural network techniques on multisensor classification, hierarchical processing, probabilistic (fuzzy) neural networks, object detection and tracking, and content-based compression and representation.
Another major challenge lies in real-time processing speed, a key barrier before online access of massive visual information can become a reality. In fact, it is communication, instead of computing, that will be the processing bottleneck. Thus, the development of the computer technology must be closely intertwined with the information-based consumer and communication technologies. We have studied for a long time the research issues involving design and implementation of VLSI multimedia signal processing circuits and systems. Novel communication and networking technologies will be critical in order for multimedia database systems to support interactive dynamic interfaces. Truly integrated media systems must connect with individual users and content-addressable multimedia databases. This will involve both logical connections to support information-sharing and physical connection via computer networking and data transfer. Our research stresses hierarchical and scalable multimedia architecture platforms, fast architectures by minimizing memory accesses and IO operations, and systematically mapping multimedia algorithms to the new architectures. Ultimately, our research will support development of real-time information-processing systems combining digital video and audio, text, and graphics.*8
Secretary of the U. S. Department of Labor, Elaine L. Chao sent a message to speakers and attendees of Emerging Information Technology Conference.
Secretary of the U. S. Department of Labor, Elaine L. Chao wrote a message to speakers and attendees of Emerging Information Technology Conference (EITC 2002), the letter was presented by her representative in this region, Ms. Angelica O. Tang in the EITC Luncheon Brown Bag Talks.
"Our ancestors' dreams inspired them to cross a wide ocean in search of opportunity and prosperity. As the EITC so admirably represents, more and more Chinese Americans are taking their rightful place in this country's science and engineering professions, combining their individual talents with the rich cultural values of family and education. I am pleased to share with you that since taking office, President George W. Bush has demonstrated his commitment to our community by naming more than 90 Asian Pacific American appointees. Nineteen of these positions are Presidential appointments requiring Senate confirmation including, for the first time in our nation's history, two Asian Pacific Americans to the Cabinet. I am also pleased that at the U.S. Department of Labor, I have appointed the highest number of Asian Pacific Americans to top leadership positions. My team and I have launched a number of initiatives, ranging from small business development to training grants, to assist the growing Asian Pacific American community," Secretary Chao said in her letter.
Ms. Tang presented Secretary Chao's letter to EITC Conference Program Chair, Dr. Mow S. Lin of Brookhaven National Laboratory. Ms. Tang was also greeted by Princeton Township Mayor Phyllis L. Marchand, and EITC Conference co-chairs, Dr. Chun-Yen Chang, Professor and President of National Chiao Tung University, and Dr. Sun-Yuan Kung, Professor of Princeton University, as well as the EITC speakers and attendees.*9
Dr. Sun-yuan Kung is now a tenure Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Princeton University. It is our pleasure to pay a tribute to the expertise, professionalism, and accomplishment of an excellent scholar and professor.*10
It is clever to share with the following short but meaningful quotes that we mentioned in our previous articles:
"Six essential qualities that are keys to success:
Sincerity, Personal Integrity, Humility, Courtesy,
Wisdom, Charity."
---Dr. William Menninger
"We are all faced with a series of great opportunities
brilliantly disguised as impossible situations."
---Chuck Swindoll
"Accomplishment will prove to be a journey, not a
destination."
---Dwight D. Eisenhower
Vision with enthusiasm may bring us with hope to serve our people, community, and country!*11

Like it is for President Dr. Andrew Benton of Pepperdine University, the above example inspires us that significant messages from U. S. Senator Harry Reid, Congresswoman Shelley Berkley, Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao, Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons, and among others posted by WBTI have been shown by leading search engines on the Internet promptly.*12
E.Q. has already been familiar with people these years, but not A. Q. We hope that the findings on "I.Q., E.Q., and A.Q. for success" by Dr. Sun-yuan Kung will become an effective strategy for young people to drive at wisely!

Dr. Samuel So's successful speech on hepatitis B/liver cancer
By Ingrid Ou and Jennifer Kung
***** Disciples with expertise, integrity, and humane spirit
from the marketplace will certainly enhance
the implementation of our mission to
'Arise & Shine - Ignite Our City' for 2007.
---John K. Lei, Chairman of the Board of Directors of ROLCC
-----------------------------------------
LIVERight, a community service HBV free blood screen/seminar took place on Saturday, 1/13 from 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm. This was a joint effort between Asian Liver Center (ALC) at Stanford University and Holiday Plaza Series at River of Life Christian church (ROLCC). We are really thankful that this collaboration was a great success. ALC and ROLCC are embracing the same vision in serving the community via community awareness seminar/blood screen on one of the biggest killers, hepatitis B/liver cancer in Asian community. We had 238 people screened over the event; approximately 400 audiences came for the presentation. At large or little, we knew we had made the difference.
About 20 volunteers from ALC and 15 volunteers from ROLCC came to help out the event. Dr. So did the presentation in English with Jordan Su's concurrent translation to Mandarin. Many people gave positive feedback, and everyone I spoke to felt that they have learned a lot of useful life-saving tips! The event started by having the audience to watch the film. I was really touched after watching the film that told many stories on how hepatitis B had impacted the lives of many. I remember vividly Dr. So s interview in the movie: I am just very sick of seeing so many young lives lost every day due to HBV/liver cancer . This was why liver transplant surgen, Dr. So decided to found ALC to serve the community. In the presentation, Dr. So once again reminded us how serious hepatitis B is impacting the Asians and Asian Americans. In certain part of China , the impact was much worse-1/6 of population is infected by HBV. He spoke about the trasmission route for hepatitis B. He spoke about what each of us should do. If people are not carriers, they should definitely get the 3-slot immunization as soon as possible, which will protect them for life. If they are HBV carriers, they need to monitor their liver status on a regular basis. They should go to their doctor to have their liver function and ALPHAFETO PROTEIN level checked every half year plus annual ultrasound exam. In addition, he told the story about a medical intern who had hepatitis B but lack of awareness, died of liver cancer at very young age. This sad story continues to linger on people s mind and serves as a good reminder of being educated on this important topic. He ended by stating the mission and work at ALC. Many people that came to the event raised a lot of questions. During Q/A session, Dr. So further spoke about the difference between hepatitis A, B and C. He explained about the outcome of missing one last slot during the 3 shot immunization course and the impact of it if the schedule of 3-shots immunization is different from it is recommended. In addition, he commented about the use of herbal supplements and why some people can't donate blood even though they are not carriers. The event actually ran into 4.45 pm, and many people's questions still could not be answered due to time constrains.
To me, this joint event between ALC and ROLCC is just a starting. Based on the feedback we got from the attendants, we hope to see more ALC-ROLCC collaborative projects happened in times to come. We believe that this combined effort will provide the best service and a blessing to the community!
This event was beyond our expectation and turn out a great success. Of course, the most comforting thing to know is that some people's lives will be saved because of the knowledge they learn!
We pray that Lord will continue to bless the vision of ALC and ROLCC and to those people who attended the event.
The above five paragraphs are reported by Dr. Ingrid Ou.*1
Dr. Ingrid Ying C. Ou is a senior scientist working for ALZA, Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical in Mountain View, CA. Ingrid got her doctoral degree from University of Washington , Seattle . Her passion in life is to serve the Lord and live up to HIS glory using her skills and interests in medicine. She also greatly enjoys serving the Lord in Single Adult and Children ministry (choir and musical program) at ROLCC. She believes that being Christian is not all about going to church. She believes that God s words can really equip us to a much better player in all areas of our life, at work and in the family. God's words are relevant to our daily lives; He helps us to achieve a higher level that we could not have done by our own means. In the spare time, Dr. Ingrid Ou enjoys ballet, running and playing piano. She and her husband currently reside in Sunnyvale, CA.
"In this era where massive amount of information is often found via internet, I think that the mission of WBTI is timely and visionary. The impact of Lord in the community will be enlarged via web publishing and more of Good news will be effectively going to those who need them the most," pointed out Dr. Ingrid Ou.*2
Dear Dr. Lei, Hope that you enjoyed the Dr. So's talk yesterday. As indicated in my email to you earlier this week, below is the script that I promoted last week at the English congregation:
"Happy New Year, Brothers and Sisters. This is coming Saturday, we will have the privilege of having Dr. So from Stanford, Asian Liver Center to come here to give us an education seminar on liver health. This is an event that you can't afford to miss. Why do I say this? Let me start by showing you a patient interview video clip by Anthony. (http://liver.Stanford.edu/Mult/Mult_video.php).
Yes, Anthony is right. People who have hepatitis B have a much higher chance of getting liver cancer. This is especially a problem among Asians and Asian Americans. It is estimated that one in 10 Asians are HBV carriers and one in 4 chronic HBV carriers will eventually die of liver cancer or liver disease if left untreated, or unmonitored. Unfortunately, many of us did not know about this fact. What is even more sad is that many of the HBV carriers did not know that there are several simple monitoring tests they can ask from their doctors. Instead, they left the disease unmonitored until it was too late. This coming Saturday, we expect to have 300-400 people to join us. I am very excited. According to the statistics, as many as 10 people's lives will be saved because of the knowledge we learn. I hope all of you will join us for this meaningful, life-saving event.
I will be here after the service to take your registration and answer any question that you may have. Thank you again for your attention." *3
Here is an introduction of Dr. So.
Dr. Samuel So is a professor and a liver cancer surgeon in the Department of Surgery and directs the Liver Cancer Program at Stanford University Medical Center. Dr. So is originally from Hong Kong. In 1996, Dr So established the Asian Liver Center to address the disproportionately high prevalence of hepatitis B and liver Cancer in the Asian and Asian Americans with the ultimate goal of eradicating hepatitis B worldwide and eliminating the threat of liver cancer.
The Asian Liver Center at Stanford is the only non-profit organization in the United States that addresses the high incidence of hepatitis B and liver cancer in Asians and Asian-Americans. Founded in 1996, the center uses a three-pronged approach towards fighting hepatitis B through outreach, education , and research.*4

The evening was shinning! How nice was Friday December 29, 2006! We had a wonderful potluck at Mr. John Lei's home for our John Lei/Petty Wu Cell Group. We had lots of nice foods, fruits, and cakes. Attendants were enthusiastic. They included Miss Nicole Ying, Ms. Linda Miao, Miss Teresa Zhang, Miss Angel Ku, Miss Sarah Shao, Miss Linda Tu, Miss Angie Qian, Mr. Kang Fung, Mr. Gino Ko, Mr. John Lei, Mr. Mike Lei, Mrs. Judy Lei, and Dr. Tony Lei (names in random). The potluck was fully enjoyed by all the participants with good communication and fun. The game brought us with another hightlight of the reunion. Praise God that we had a such wonderful time after the Christmas and before the New Year. A happy New Year was wishful among all the sisters and brothers!
"Thank you for devotions this morning on the balcony overlooking the misty snowy sun-rise landscape," wrote Mr. Mike Lei on December 24, 2006.*6
"Dear Dr. Lei, You're an extremely knowledgeable and wise elder, yet very easy to get along with. I'm very blessed to getting to know you more in the past 7 months. Your warm hospitality makes me feel just like a family member of yours. Wishing you a joyful and peaceful Christmas. May God continued blessing what you're fonding of doing. May your resourseful website become one of the "Top" (: channel of communication for business, social, and community. May you continue receiving His wisdom words and His double portion of favors," wrote Miss Angie Qian on a nice Season's Greetings card to Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) on December 24 in Lake Tahoe, California.
Sunday was joyful day at ROLCC with the children performing an outstanding drama in all three services and afterwards the baptism ceremony for 34 brothers and sisters. Nicole Ying of John Lei/Patty Wu cell group was among those who were baptized on Sunday.
The cell group members attended the ceremony with excitement and shouted, "Nicole, Jesus loves you and we also love you!" when she went on stage to give her testimony. John/Patty's cell group memembers gave Nicole flowers and many gifts to celebrate Nicole's "new birth", praise the Lord! Many nice photos were taken.*7
"Dear friends, During last Friday's fellowship, I told you about the free online Bible website. Here is the web link: http://www.biblegateway.com/ This website can search the Bible in various ways: (1). Find an entire book in the Bible: type "Mark" or "Acts", etc. (2). Find a Bible verse: type "Mark 1:10" or "John 3:16", etc. (3). Find a word in the Bible: type "love" or "cross", etc. (4). Find a phrase in the Bible: type "love one another", etc. As a bonus, here is the free daily message from Pastor Liu you can access by your phone: (408) 291-8046 God bless, John," wrote John Lei, Director Of the Board of Directors of River of Life Christian Church.*8
" H Tony & Judy @ q g ----- \ A? L L n f Tracey ," wrote Miss Tracey Yang to WBTI on January 16, 2007.
"Thank you," wrote Nevada Supreme Court Justice Michael Douglas to WBTI.*9 "One of the most important contribution of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) to our high-ranking officials and community is its many articles published frequently by the search engine leaders locally, nationally, and internationally. As an Associate Professor of the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration of WBTI, it's my hornor to join its Professor of Administrative Strategies U. S. Senator Harry Reid ( now the Majority Leader of U. S. Senate) and its Chairperson Elaine Chao, U. S. Secretary of Labor, to endeavor the promotion of benifits for our people, community, and country."
The Sunday School on "Book of Numbers" that implemented by Mrs. Belinda M. Liu through November 19, 2006 was impressive. We had many sisters and brothers including Miss Ying-Min Huang, Mr. Yang Shao, Mrs. Judy Lei, Miss Vanessa Li, Mr. John Lei, Miss Angel Lo, Miss Annie Shen, Mr. Jingmin Leng, Miss Lanfang Hsu, Miss Julie Tai, Miss Rebecca Pang, Mrs. Gary Hsu, Miss Elaine Hsu, , Miss Chiao-wen Chen, Dr. Tony Lei, and among others (names in random). Miss Chiao-wen Chen told Tiffany Chang that she was inspired by Mrs. Belinda M. Liu's good teaching. Belinda will teach another Sunday School starting from January 2007.
"Thanks, Dr. Lei," wrote Nevada Assemblywoman Valerie Weber to WBTI.*10 "The WBTI's website has played an important role to bridge the cooperation and development among our individuals, officials, and community. In advancing to its 14th year, we'd find WBTI's inter-states perspectives have brought with potentiality for the prosperity of more organiztions and people."
By the act of love itself, we are enriched. Love in action is service above self. Make service a part of our character and experience the abundant reward that comes from serving others. "It's my appreciation to 'Nevada Examiner' for its publication of my following statement several times," said District Court Judge Cheryl Moss. In community service, Dr. Tony T. Lei's hero is the great servant who has given all for the betterment of others' lives. Let our candles fuel a fire that will fan out an ever-lasting circles. With these circles together we can close our eyes and envision a community that is safe, peaceful, and healthy. The Bible teaches us: "...let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth (1 John 3:18)." District (Family) Court Judge-elect Cheryl Moss wrote Dr. Tony T. Lei, "I am delighted and honored to be appointed as an Associate Fellow of the Public Administration Institution of Washington Business and Technology Institute. Thank you for this opportunity to serve, and I hope to gain more knowledge, insight and awareness about public service and community issues through your prestigious institution. I remain dedicated to helping the community, and I am inspired by your leadership, wisdom and guidance. I am also fortunate to have met you and your wife, Judy, because you are both active and dynamic individuals in the community. Your accomplishments and achievements have demonstrated that taking part in the community does make a difference. Best wishes and thank you again for your unselfish kindness, support and encouragement." *11

"It'll be really a challenge and honor to be the Governor of Nevada and the Chairman of the Advisory Board of WBTI onece I'm elected in Office in January 2007. It's my great pleasure to take the responsibility," said U. S. Congressman James Gibbons at the Business Mixier held by Asian Republicans of Nevada at April 23, 2006 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The agreement was made by Jim to President Dr. Tony Lei of WBTI through a pleasant conversation between the two parties during the Event.*13 Jim is Governor of Nevada starting from January 1, 2007.
It is significant for Dr. Kenny C. Guinn to write President Dr. Tony Lei of WBTI as in the following: "It is only with the dedication and commitment of good people like yourself that I will achieve my goal of becoming Governor of this great state. Dema and I can't thank you enough for your assistance and your positive activivities in the community." *14 Kenny was Nevada Governor for eight years until December 31, 2006.
"When I take a step back and look at my life, I can't help but think how bless I am for all God has given to me. So many times, we take what we have for granted, but it's really not until we have lost everything, that we realize the true beauty in our downfalls - the strength to rise again," wrote Miss Frances Liu, Berlinda's daughter.*15 It is quoted from one of the prefaces (written by Miss Frances Liu) of the book " ` \ ". The book was written by Mrs. Belinda M. Liu.
"Shalom! Tony & Judy: W , @? WBTI I, , c , d ^, C . x x o C c U ! Belinda," wrote Mrs. Belinda M. Liu early in the morning to Washington Business and Technology Institute.
Pastor Paul Huang has completed teaching his Sunday School on "Book of Ruth" on December 24, 2006. Attendants were enthusiastic. He will teach another Sunday School starting from January 2007.
On Sunday December 31, 2006, the Sermon was delivered by Miss Doris Lin, Pastor of River of Life Christian Church. The subject was "Crossing Over The Year". The 2006 theme is "Arise & Shine - Prepare the Way of the Lord." Our next year's theme will be "'Arise & Shine - Ignite Our City." The Worship was directed by Scott Wu. MC was Pastor Doris Lin.

When we look forward, the yar of 2007 is right around the corner. The theme that God gave us for next year is 'Arise & Shine - Ignite Our City.' ...

"It's my great honor to be named by President Dr. Tony Lei as the Honorary Chairman of Clark County District and Police Civil Commission (CCDAPCC) of Washington Business and Technolgy Institute (WBTI)," pointed out the Chief Justice of Nevada Supreme Court William Maupin at the Celebration Party to "Nevada Examiner" and "Reviewjournal.com" at the Steak House of Binion's Horseshoe Club, Las Vegas on October 10, 2002. The Party was held by WBTI to celebrate William Maupin's being appointed as its Fellow of the Public Administration Institution (PAI) and as its Honorary Chairman of the Clark County District Attorney and Police Civil Commission (CCDAPCC). "Please know that I irrevocably stand by my personal commitment to diversity issues in this state and that my sense of patriotism and faith in America stems from its embrace of that diversity." *16.

(1) Well known high incidence of liver disease among Chinese people.
(2) For every 100 Chinese people, 10 people would be HBV carrier. According to past statistics, out of those 10 people, 2 to 3 people may end up lose their life due to liver disease or liver cancer (Not just in OLD people. It happens to Young people in their 20-30 too!). This statistics is stunning and we need to get educated about our own health.
(3) Thus for every 100 people we invite to the seminar/event, we can potentially save 2 to 3 people's life.
(4) For people who are not HBV carrier, they learn how to protect themselves from getting it. in addition, they learn how to read their test results (make sure that they really NOT a carrier! ). For people who don't know whether they are HBV carrier, the free screening will let them know about whether or not they are carrier. For people who are HBV carrier, the seminar will teach them how to ask their doctors for several simple tests to take care of their liver health. NOT all American doctors know about these tests, since this is generally NOT a problem for Caucasian.*17
Dr. Samuel So is a founder and director of Asian Liver Center at Stanford Hospital . ALC is an unique non-profit research institution with its focus on Asian high prevalence of liver disease in the United States. Dr. So originally from Hong Kong. He was a professor at the medical school of Washington University St Louis. In 1995, he founded Stanford Liver Research Center.*18
To ignite the city and country, we need more hero intellectuals with expertise, integrity, and humane spirit like Dr. Samuel So for community service!
