U. S. Senate Suspends Regular Business
By Office of the Assistant Democratic Leader of the U. S. Senate*1

Senate Suspends Regular Business

Out of respect for the memory of President Ronald Reagan, all regular business in the Senate was suspended this week. The Senate will stand in recess on Thursday and Friday.
Many Senators delivered tributes to President Reagan. Senator Reid spoke on Tuesday, calling President Reagan "a good neighbor to Nevada."*2

"Nevada and California share a national treasure called Lake Tahoe," said Reid. "In 1969, California Governor Ronald Reagan and Nevada Governor Paul Laxalt reached an historic bi-state compact that created the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency. That began the effort to save Lake Tahoe —a(a)n effort that continues to this day."

Reid also recalled how Reagan had scrapped the proposed MX Missile project, which would have put hundreds of square miles of Nevada off limits to citizens.

"As I stand here today, I feel honored that I had a chance to work with President Reagan," said Reid.

"This is a time to mourn his death(,) but more important, it is a time to appreciate his life.

"His amazing journey was the American Dream come true(,) and it helped bring the dream a little closer for all of us."

***Senator Reid meets President Ronald Reagan. Former Senator Howard Baker of Tennessee is next to the late President

INSIDER'S CALENDAR
The Senate will convene on Monday, June 14 at 1:00 p.m. with a period of Morning Business until 2:00 p.m.

At 2:00 p.m. the Senate will resume consideration of S. 2400, the Department of Defense Authorization bill.

Any roll call votes ordered will begin at 5:30 p.m.

Consideration of the DOD Authorization bill is expected to consume most of the week. Following disposition of the bill, the Senate will begin consideration of the Class Action Reform bill.*3

Managing Up and Modern Stratagem
By Tiffany Chang

"MANAGING UP shows what you can learn when you keep your eyes and ears open and happen to work for/with a terrif boss. Great lessons for leaders here, managing up, down, and sideways," said Warren Bennis, Distinguished Professor of Business at the University of South Carolina about the book written by Rosanne Badowski in 2003. The book is entitled "How to Forge an Effective Relationship with Those Above You."

The Chairman of Chinese American Academic Association of Nevada, Dr. Tony Lei, received by air mail on February 22, 1997 a book named "Modern Stratagem" The book was written and sent by Professor Tu Lin.

In the preface, Dr. Ko-wang Mei pointed out that: It is the person who uses stratagem to face problem and chellenge and to integrate a project or principle for processing of problem solving. Most of famous stratagems in the human history were used on politics and military. From its broad significance, in order for a person to successful both in production and human relations, he or she needs stratagem to attain his or her objectives. The Chinese idiom of "Action after taking stratagem" may show the good understanding of the above meaning.

The book entitled "Modern Stratagem" was written by a Chinese, while the book entitled "How to Forge an Effective Relationship with Those Above You" is written by an American. The latter talks about "Managing Up" in a business. The following are some of its principles:

Principles of Managing Up
"* Managing is not the exclusive property of MBA grads.
* At times we are all managers, and we are all support staff; managers have to roll up their sleeves and get in the trenches.
* Those who manage up have to think--and act-- like managers.
* A good managers is a student of cause and effect.
* It's not good enough to be aware of what's happening around you; you have to know why it's happening.
* If you're not helping, you're hindering.
* Ask yourself: Did the work I performed today help achieve a goal?
Common Sense Takeaways
* Your boss's agenda comes first. Period.
* When those above you win, you win.
* It's people! Organizations don't run on money, products, or procedures.
* Trust your instincts-- they are based on a lot of experience. Then again, don't always trust instincts.
* Go ahead, take a swing: Better to be too bold than too timid."*1

The first of the above two books was prefaced by Dr. Ko-wang Mei, the former President of Tunghai University and now the President of Taiwan Regional Development Institute.

Dr. Mei believed that: The successful degree of a stratagem can not be depended only on individual's wisdom, knowledge,and experience. It has its team works, integrity, scientific background, and philosophic thought. Therefore, there never appears a stratagem in an emptiness. It needs deliberate planning and logic thinking. The large the area of stratagem and the deeper of the degree of a stratagem, the large and deeper the need for information collection and analysis. In the recent half of the century, it is one of the most important subject in 'The study of Administration'. In a practical and general speaking, 'stratagem' is 'decision making' in a promotional sense. In order to have a stratagem effective, efficient, and perfect, the conclusion of a stratagem should be attained through scientific collection, analysis, judgment, study of information. It is why the 'Stratagem' is an important and useful study.

Its good to have some inspiration on the findings of some of the chapters of the second book:

"Preparedness Takeaways
* By seeing thing from someone else's perspective, you'll be better able anticipate what will be needed in the future.
* Share what you know. This was the centerpiece of Jack Welch's GE. We shared ideas, best practices, and information.

People who hoard knowledge hunt the company.
*Be ready to improvise.
*Stay on top of current events, not just concerning your company but the international business community. It will help give context to what you do, and it's a good conversation starter.
Communication Takeaways
*Communication is more than a management tool--it is a catalyst for change.
*Don't be afraid to ask. And then ask again.
*Question yourself constantly; if you don't like your answers, do something about it.
*Be a loudmouth--one whose ideas and messages get spread through every level of your business.
*Nagging doesn't mean you have to be a pain in the neck--but timed correctly, it's very effective.

Teamwork Takeaways
*Celebrate--you deserve to recognize accomplishments.
*Take a central role as team member and team builder.
*Get off your pedestal--no job or task should be dismissed as unimportant or not worthy of attention.
*Share everything--information, knowledge, skills, risk."*2

The author of the first book, late Tu Lin, one of the famous scholar on stratagem, had been many years Professor and Chairman of Safety Department of the Central Police Official University in Taiwan. The author of the second, Rosanne Badowski, was an executive assistant of Jack Welch who retired from GE in September 2001 as its CEO.

"It is 'political strategy' when a stratagem is used in political affairs.It is 'war strategy' when a stratagem is used in military action. It is 'individual strategy' when a stratagem is used by personal affairs. It is 'business strategy' when a stratagem is used by business management. After the second half of 20 century, business management played a very important role around the world. The study of management emphasizes very much the importance of stratagem. Therefore, the world business is now full of the actions of 'Business Stratagem'," said Dr. Mei.*3

As a conclusion on her book, Rosanne summerized it in the following:

The Fun of Managing Up
"Over the years, people have approached me wanting to know what it was like to work for Jack Welch. Did he have some secret to success? And that's why I've tried hard to keep the "bow" of this book pointed into the wind of real life.
Was it a smooth fourteen years? No way.
Was it interesting, exhilarating, and rewarding? For sure."*4

The first book was foreworded by Jack Welch, while in the second book, Dr. Mei recommended that : The "Modern Stratagem" written by Professor Tu Lin is one of the best in the field. It can be a good reference text for persons in political affairs. It is a fine dictionary for military experts. And it can be also effectively used in business management. Finally, it is a very valuable book for an individual to use it as an electric power to brighten his or her career both in production and human relations.

Rosanne continued on her conclusion that "Under the circumstances, managing up was, for me, a survival skill mastered on the job and on the run. But it was not one based on secrets, luck, or genius. For me, managing up came right off the rack, right off the shelf, and right off a list of basic ingredients that are as commonplace as they are priceless:

Chemistry. It's what got us off to a good start and kept us going.

Trust. Trust was what our partnership was built on--and what made our partnership last.

Confidence. The key term to describe Jack--something that propelled his every action.

Impatience. It appears to be a negative, but it gave us the speed to accomplish as much as we did in limitd time.

Energy. It kept us buoyant and helped us persevere.

Resilience. The ability to keep going when a roadblock got in the way.

Humor. It made every day fun, no matter what the circumstances.

Common sense. A lifesaver when it came to tough decisions.

Preparedness. This gave us the edge to rise above the pack.

Adaptability. The ability to embrace change.

Simplicity. In other words, keeping things uncomplicated and easy to understand.

Fairness. Treating people in a way we like to be treated.

Communications. The determination to tell the world and each other what was going on.

Teamwork. It let us bring our friends along--they helped us bail out the boat when the water was rising, and they were there in the end for the party.

Passion and purpose. They are what life, and business, are all about."5

She concluded finally that "Together, these fifteen managing-up ingredients produced an extraordinarily effective working partnership-- and a whole lot of sheer fun. Yes, there I go again--fun. If work isn't fun, there's some-thing wrong. Well-paid drudgery is still drudgery. It's painful and demeaning. By managing up you make an investment that pays a handsome dividend in satifaction and self-respect."6

Dr. Mei recommended that : The "Modern Stratagem" written by Professor Tu Lin is one of the best in the field. It can be a good reference text for persons in political affairs. It is a fine dictionary for military experts. And it can be also effectively used in business management. Finally, it is a very valuable book for an individual to use it as an electric power to brighten his or her career both in production and human relations.*7

The late Tu Lin, one of the famous scholar on stratagem, had been many years Professor and Chairman of Safety Department of the Central Police Official University in Taiwan. Dr. Ko-wang Mei, Professor Tu Lin, and Dr. Tony Lei were good friends for many years. Professor Tu was the Founder and Chairman of Taipei Marketing Research Association on a national basis. He was also Chairman of Board of China File and Micrographic Information Management Institute. In order to promote the collaboration of academy between both sides of China on the pacific ocean, Professor Tu was the Chairman and held the 1966 Seminar on File and Micrographic Academy of both sides of the Straits of Taiwan on November 4-11, 1996.*8

"Our knowledge, wisdom, and professionalism are all achieved by our sincere love to God!" said President Dr. Tony Lei of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI).*9

Graduates' pride, tears reflect Las Vegas dreams better than statistics
By JANE ANN MORRISON*1

JANE ANN MORRISON: Graduates' pride, tears reflect Las Vegas dreams better than statistics

If this was part of last week's New York Times series about Las Vegas, Amber Reynolds and Nikki Cohen would be living in Budget Suites, smoking crack, barely able to read, unlikely to find a decent job, maybe considering jobs as topless dancers.*2

Instead, the two young women bucked the dismal Nevada statistics that gave the newspaper the basis for its series "American Dreamers: The Lure of Las Vegas."

Amber and Nikki graduated Friday from the Las Vegas Academy, a magnet school for international studies and the performing and visual arts.

Both were born and reared in Las Vegas.

Both are going to college.

Both have stable home lives.

Both have a life plan.

Amber is going to the University of the Pacific in Stockton, Calif., on a music scholarship with a pre-law minor. She hopes to be a concert pianist. She's a cross-country runner.

Nikki is going to the University of Nevada, Reno to study biochemistry as part of a pre-med program. She wants to be a doctor. She speaks Japanese.

They both had grade point averages of 3.8 or above from a school that demanded more in terms of time and effort than most Las Vegas schools.

The two are intelligent, lovely and focused, the antithesis of the young Las Vegans portrayed so dismally in The New York Times.

Amber and Nikki were lab partners in a class at the Las Vegas Academy and shared another class even before they were born.

Their parents, Teri and Michael Reynolds, and Ruth Cohen, a single mother by choice, took prenatal child birthing classes together. Michael Reynolds was an Internal Revenue Service agent at the time; his wife, Teri, works at the Riviera as head of the payroll department. Ruth Cohen was and still is an assistant U.S. attorney. They chose to work, live and raise their children here, despite the unique cultural values that make child-rearing a challenge.

Frankly, attending Amber's and Nikki's commencement ceremony, and remembering my own in 1967, had a depressing side as well as an uplifting side.

I left high school knowing I would go to college, but having no idea what I wanted to do in life. Maybe get a degree in political science and join the Foreign Service? Maybe do something with my writing skills? These young women appeared to have it more together at this stage of their lives than I had.

Nikki and Amber probably will change or at least tweak their plans along the way, as most of us do, for better or worse.

But on Friday night, they were Las Vegas' true American Dreamers, the Las Vegas Academy's Class of 2004. Through their music, their dance and their video presentation, the 277 graduating students proved themselves among the city's best.

Even the way they chose to cross the stage when their names were announced said something about each one.

Some were clowns, perhaps destined for "Saturday Night Live." Some were straightforward. Others skipped and waved.

Amber and Nikki each strode forward with purpose when it was their turn and smiled as if their lives would always be joyful.

The final two students brought the other students to their feet clapping and cheering.

The younger brother of Kristina Fannin accepted her diploma.

Kristina had died of cancer just days earlier. She had attended a previous awards event, pulling her oxygen tank and wearing a wig to cover the effects of her illness. She just couldn't last long enough to make Friday's commencement ceremony at Cashman Field.

The last student prepared to cross the stage was Nicholas Wyatt, who waited at the right edge of the stage in a wheelchair. His body twisted by cerebral palsy, he struggled to make the walk that had been so effortless for everyone else.

He used a walker and had some help, and it took a while. But throughout that while, his classmates and the audience yelled their support for Nicholas, an international studies student.

Tears fell as he struggled. His own, mine and many others.

Parents watching couldn't help but be grateful that their own children were alive and well.

The New York Times wasn't there. I count myself lucky that I was.*3

The former U. S. President Ronald Reagan was in Las Vegas often

Reagan in LV often
Popular fund-raiser raised record-breaking amounts of money here

By JANE ANN MORRISON
REVIEW-JOURNAL

Ronald Reagan and the Adorabelles perform at the Last Frontier in February 1954. Critics did not embrace the future president's song-and-dance show, leading Reagan to joke during a 1986 event, "Some predicted then that I'd never play Las Vegas again, but here I am, playing to a full house."*2
REVIEW-JOURNAL FILE PHOTO

Ronald Reagan and his wife, Nancy, pose on an outing at Lake Mead in February 1954, when the future president was performing at the Last Frontier. The publicity shoot was arranged by the hotel's press agent, Harvey Diederich, who on Saturday described Reagan as "just a regular guy."
REVIEW-JOURNAL FILE PHOTO

Ronald Reagan visited Las Vegas often during the varying stages of his life, as an entertainer, as a former governor, as a president and as a former president.

He and his wife, Nancy, posed for publicity shots at Lake Mead during his little-regarded two-week stint as a a song-and-dance man in 1954.

After he entered politics, he became a popular fund-raiser here, able to draw crowds of thousands and raise record-breaking amounts of money.

His last known visit to Las Vegas in 1992 was memorable because a nuclear war protester rushed the stage and shattered a 30-pound crystal eagle award being given to Reagan. The former president was startled but unharmed.

"He must have been a Democrat," Reagan immediately quipped.

Reagan won the state easily during both his presidential elections, taking 62 percent of the vote in 1980 and 66 percent in 1984.

While Nevadans loved him, that didn't transfer to two politicians who had hoped he would give them the boost they needed.

Democrat-turned-Republican Jim Santini enjoyed three Nevada visits by the president in 1986 and still couldn't defeat Democrat Harry Reid, then a congressman, when they both ran for the Senate that year.

In 1988, Reagan visited Nevada three times for Republican Sen. Chic Hecht, but Democratic Gov. Richard Bryan was still able to unseat him.

A summary of Reagan's Las Vegas visits:

?February 1954: The 43-year-old actor opened his first and last Las Vegas stage show as a song-and-dance man at the Last Frontier, accompanied by the Adorabelles showgirls. His two-week vaudevillian routine was panned by critics. "The show was not much in either quality or quantity," said Bill Willard, the Las Vegas reviewer for Variety at the time. "It was an old song-and-dance routine and that was about it -- not memorable."

?Feb. 18, 1975: Reagan spoke at the Clark County Republican Party's annual Lincoln Day dinner at Circus Circus. "I don't suggest that the news should be slanted to play down wrongdoing on the part of anyone in the private sector, but I believe (the media) must have pointed out to it what it is doing with the constant chorus of gloom and doom reporting, and give the people a fairer and more realistic picture of free enterprise," he said.

?Sept. 23, 1975: He told a convenience stores convention he wouldn't run for president on a third-party ticket. Reagan denied reports that his staff had met with representatives of Alabama conservative George Wallace to discuss running together on a third-party ticket. "A third party might divide those of a common philosophy and elect someone of a philosophy we oppose," Reagan said.

?1978: Reagan spoke at least four times in Las Vegas that year, calling for less government spending and fewer restraints on American business.

?October 1982: Reagan made two visits to Las Vegas. On Oct. 7, he attended a $1,000-a-person fund-raiser at the home of entertainer Wayne Newton, raising $50,000. That visit was to bolster the campaigns of Republicans Hecht, Gov. Robert List, and congressional candidates Peggy Cavnar and Barbara Vucanovich. Hecht and Vucanovich won, Cavnar and List lost. On Oct. 28, Reagan made a second stop primarily for Hecht, who was challenging Democratic Sen. Howard Cannon. Hecht had been trailing Cannon in the polls, but after the Reagan visit, GOP pollsters said they saw an 8-point jump in favor of Hecht, who ultimately won the race. Newton, wearing a sequined black tuxedo, hosted the rally, during which Reagan said, "Wait until I tell Nancy I played Las Vegas with Wayne Newton and Robert Goulet. I did play it once back in a whole other life." His overnight visit at the Sands took up 250 rooms.

?October 1983: Reagan canceled his Las Vegas trip and instead ordered the invasion of the Caribbean island of Grenada.

?Feb. 7, 1984: Reagan, then 73, addressed 8,000 junior and senior high school principals on the subject of eliminating crime and violence in schools. He also raised $250,000 for Nevada Republicans, then the largest amount raised at one time in the state's history.

?1986: Reagan made three trips to help Santini's Senate race. A Reno visit drew 12,000 people in October and a November visit drew 3,000 to an airplane hanger at McCarran International Airport. On June 25, he visited the Las Vegas Hilton and raised $600,000 at a $1,000-a-plate dinner. He never saw the 40 anti-nuclear protesters outside who were objecting to continued nuclear weapons testing in Nevada and the fact that Nevada was one of three states being studied for a nuclear dump site. At the dinner, Reagan joked about his 1954 song-and-dance act, saying "Some predicted then that I'd never play Las Vegas again, but here I am, playing to a full house." He also discussed the nuclear repository site selection process. "We haven't taken this great responsibility lightly. I will not even be president in 1992 when the final recommendations are expected, but I can assure you and the people of Nevada that I will never do anything that is not totally safe, and that will be true for any president -- Republican or Democrat -- that follows me."

?April 10, 1988: Reagan, a former broadcaster himself, came to Las Vegas to address 4,000 conventioneers at the National Association of Broadcasters. He discussed foreign policy in the 20-minute speech, saying his "peace through strength" approach had worked.

?Nov. 2, 1988: Reagan visited Reno to support Hecht's re-election. He urged the crowd not to elect Bryan, whom he dubbed "a jet set, tax-and-spend liberal." Nevadans chose Bryan as their senator.

?Oct. 11, 1989: A month after he had surgery to drain fluid from his brain as a result of a fall from a horse, Reagan addressed 500 Dollar Rent A Car dealers, picking up his usual $50,000 fee for his 25-minute speech and 25-minute question and answer period. The 78-year-old was sporting shorter, grayer hair, and a Review-Journal article suggesting he had previously dyed his hair resulted in an irate call from his spokesman, Mark Weinberg. "You have done the former president a great disservice. He had never used hair dye in his entire life," Weinberg said.

?Jan. 30, 1990: Reagan spoke to 2,000 members of Prudential Real Estate Affiliates at The Mirage and told them he was proud of the "spiritual revival" that took place in the country when he was president. He had nothing to say about a federal judge's order that he turn over his presidential diaries concerning the Iran-Contra arms deal for use in the trial of John Poindexter, his former national security adviser.

?April 13, 1992: Reagan , then 81, was speaking to 2,000 people at the National Association of Broadcasters convention when nuclear protester Rick Paul Springer rushed the stage, grabbed a crystal eagle award that had been presented to Reagan and hurled it to the floor. Springer was sentenced to four months in prison for a misdemeanor crime: interfering with the Secret Service. Springer had another 11 months added to his sentence when he failed to show up to serve his time.*3

Wang Center INC.

Prepared by Peter C.C. Wang June 4, 2004

Overview: A Strategic Plan for Wang Center INC.

China's population now exceeds 1.3 billion people and is expected to reach 2 billion by 2050. Just over half of the total current Chinese population is under the age of 25. One of the greatest challenges confronting China is the education of her young people. Building schools and providing teachers for several hundred millions of students will cost staggering sums of money and will be an enormous and complex undertaking. The challenges are great but so are the opportunities! My vision is that the international community can play a pivotal role in developing educators, the educational system and educational content that can change the world and illustrate to Chinese authorities the great wisdom of international cooperation in promoting mutual prosperity, knowledge and peace.*2

The role I envision for the Wang Center INC. is to facilitate cooperative initiatives to expose Chinese educators to the best international education practices, and to demonstrate how extensive use of technology and distributed learning techniques are the logical, most efficient and cost effective ways in which to address the current educational deficit as well as to involve educators, young people and other stakeholders in the United States and China to develop relevant courseware. Given that the cost of IM complete computers is dropping dramatically combined with the rapid expansion of open-source software, cost is no longer a severe limiting factor in wider use of information technology in education. What is urgently needed however is the development of high quality and relevant courseware including educational software, audio and video programs. These programs must be distributed across the vast expanse of the entire country, from the great cities of Beijing, Shanghai to the smallest villages in the Gobi Desert. A comprehensive library of courseware programs that teach mathematics, languages, sciences, history and arts should complement and enhance the conventional school experience, as well as furnish a core curriculum for self-study and adult education. In order to take advantage of low-cost teleconferencing notebook computers and leverage the full potential of available technology we must develop courseware and training programs. An essential companion goal is training advanced IT professionals as human resources for this new pedagogical shift in education.

To promote education in China is a gigantic task but the potential results are well worth the effort. The opportunity is open now and if people of vision and goodwill act I am confident that collectively we can have a significant impact on the future of China, the United States and the world! Time has finally arrived. The world desperately needs innovative development of this kind. For many poor regions throughout the world, this offers unique opportunity to reduce the economic divide. Such divide is the main reason why we live in such a confused world. Progressive development and dissemination of digital courseware is an innovative and viable solution to the problem of educating Chinese young people. Such a pedagogical undertaking, in turn, would offer substantial hope to young people everywhere on earth. With digital network tools plus the latest teleconference desk top computers to distribute carefully developed courseware as content we can empower teachers to educate hundreds of millions of people including K-12 students in remote areas of China.

There are well over 400,000 experts busy developing open-source software without any coordination or integration. At the same time, the application level of open-source technology has entered into rivalry with some of the major enterprises such as Microsoft, Oracle and SAP. It is both possible and necessary first to train large numbers of students in the open source, to integrate and install open-source software, and then to educate them on the ?œinside??of expert level open source codes. Taking these steps would prepare large numbers of highly proficient IT professionals serving as support to the educational needs of China. These professionals would make it possible to complete the IM environment including the testing of open source IM and other essential software such as Open Office 1.1 on all Linux-compatible notebook computers. All of the above objectives can be organized and carried out by an Open Source Institute (OSI), to be established within the Wang Center INC. To this end, the Wang Center INC. proposes to establish the International Open Source Association (TIOSA) to promote collaboration, integration, and training for specifically targeted development in open source products. TIOSA shall recruit at least one Patron Member (PM) from China, Japan and United States prior to end of 2005. The inaugural international TIOSA meeting will tentatively held in China in 2006 and thereafter to be held in the United States and other countries.

There are three initial contents as courseware must be developed and to be used in K-12 educational program which can be listed as:

Language training both English and Chinese

Conservation of global resources

Protection of natural environments

Through digital network, it is possible for us to teach the potential ecological degradation while attempting to alleviate this major societal problem.

MISSION STATEMENTS:

The Wang Center INC. supports educational projects in China to reduce the gap between the haves and have-nots with the following emphases:

Positive impact on the lives of an extremely large number of people through mutual understanding and comprehensive education.
Benefit of students in remote and
inaccessible locations in China.
Provision for students in the United States and Asia with opportunities to participate in programs and activities that can change the world.
Promotion of mutually beneficial trade including the important small business sector and others.
Teaching practical skills that people can use everyday.
Educating students with skills and knowledge that would help them to enter higher levels of educational opportunities in China.
Promotion of close collaborations and partnerships between China and United States.

BUSINESS PLAN:

To be presented after consultations with China and major sponsors from Foundations and Corporations with business interest in China.

CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS:

In Beijing, China or in Carmel Valley/ Pebble Beach, California USA

VISION AND SCOPE:

In addition to the great and worthy goals of this initiative in China discussed above, my personal motivation is to provide additional scholarships at the Wang Center of Pacific Lutheran University for highly qualified and motivated students who show commitment to lifetime service. Furthermore I hope to encourage and inspire others to join the cause of using technology effectively to promote education and literacy in areas of the world with an educational deficit.

My preference is to have a Deputy Premier of the State Council to be in charge of this project in China to insure its future success and support including adequate financial support from China and United States. At that time the proposed management would be reorganized and shall be dedicated to raise funds and long term planning.

Members of the International Open Source Association will come from the worldwide open-source community including open-source educators, investors and strategic partners.

The Open Source Institute could be a specific program under the Wang Center for International Programs of Pacific Lutheran University.

Our business model can be extended to cover all part of the globe and is not limited to China.

The initial core group of open-source experts in education will soon be formed with memberships from major computer industries and academic institutions.

BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS:

Digital Network to reach all interior China is approximately $25 millions plus annual maintenance costs. Costs in use of satellite and all radio transmissions are to be paid by the Chinese government.

Courseware and content development is dependent upon the level of support from Chinese Government.

Costs related to empowerment to high school teachers are dependent upon the support from major computer corporations and foundations.

It is estimated that the total initial funding needed to launch support of educational reform in China could be $50 millions.*3

Chris Ho appoints Adjunct Instructor of Chinese Brush Painting at GSBPA of Washington Business and Technology Institute
By Cheryl Moss and Tiffany Chang

"Through the recommendation by our several faculty members including District Judge (of the Family Court) Cheryl Moss, Mr. Chris Ho has been appointed Adjunct Instructor of Chinese Brush Painting at the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) on June 1, 2004," announced Dr. John Wang, Spokesman of WBTI, on June 2, 2004 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Chris Ho, born 1952 in Taiwan, moved to Los Angeles in 1984. His credits include vice president of the Chinese Calligraphy and Painting Association; Instructor of Chinese brush painting at North Orange Chinese School and Irvine Fine Arts Center; founder-CEO of the Wildlife Art Fund; director of the Bowers Museum Chinese Culture and Art Association; and guest artist at Pasadena City Library, Cal. Lutheran University and Irvine University.*1

Chris has shown in more than 40 art exhibitions in Beijing, Taipei, Tokyo, Los Angeles and San Francisco. And recently at the California State Gallery, Sacramento, at the behest of State Assembly Member Dr. Judy Chu. In 1998 and 2000, He was invited to display over a hundred of his signature tiger and eagle subjects in the National Gallery, Taiwan.

He has a brush painting show on Chinese television beamed locally and on satellite. Dedicating his art to the endangered species he paints, he has become expert on them, writing more than 14 articles, most notably on the tiger and eagle. He has also introduced outstanding Southern California Chinese artists in his columns on art and life in four Chinese magazines.

In 1999, the California Asian American Republican Party presented his symbolic painting of eagle soaring to the moon to President George W. Bush. One of his tiger paintings was chosen as the painting for the 1998 California Lottery Bureau calendar.

Traditionally the Chinese brush painter is a master poet. Hence it is not surprising that also he holds a 1997 38th Chinese Literature & Art Award. Nor that in 1998 in a nationwide contest, the U.S. Postal Service selected Mr. Ho¡¦s Chinese title for their ¡§Stamp by Mail¡¨ program as the most apropos. In 2004, the U.S. Dept. of Treasury Chose his poem to grace their 88,888 (8 being a lucky number) collector¡¦s New Year Prosperity Note packages. In the same year, his monkey paintings appear on the first day cover issued by the Sino-American Philatelic center and on the front page Chinese New Year¡¦s edition of the Los Angeles Times-Chinese Daily News and of The Epoch Times.

Chris Ho is currently an instructor of Chinese Brush Painting at Saddleback College and gives private lessons in many places.*2

"As a teacher of such a selective course for the students in this School, I am challenged with my talent and knowledge in having them enjoy the arts of real lives," Chris Ho said at the time when he was informed by the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration(GSBPA) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) of his appointment.

A theme of the event and dinner party to pay a special tribute to the Supreme Court Justice Nancy Becker: Growing Value of the Fellowship of Public Administration Institution of WBTI
By Tiffany Chang

Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) was founded in January 8, 1996. We have produced distinguished scholars, successful entrepreneurs, and outstanding community leaders. For the time being, our vision of 2004 is to continue to put more wisdom and effort in encourageing those people who are outstanding in public administration, academic research, and community service. WBTI has established the Public Administration Institution (PAI) in order to meet the increasng investigation requirements of current public managers and special research needs of professional public administrators. It seeks to provide an awareness and understanding of the complex administrative and oganizational contexts within which the administrators of public service make and implement decisions; and to provide general technical competence in using the tools of public administration and information management.*1

Dr. William N. Thompson was appointed by WBTI as Fellow and Director of its Public Administration Institution (PAI) on January 18, 2000. "It has been an honorable gratifying to invite a famous professor of Dr. Bill Thompson's expertise, integrity, and good personal traits with highly international perspective to this Institute," Said President Dr. Tony Lei of WBTI on January 21, 2000. "Throughout Dr. Thompson's distinguished career and publication, he has been earned a good reputation as a conscientious and dedicated professional."

On March 3, 2000, Dr. Roy J. Adamson was appointed Fellow of PAI. "It's our gratifying honor to have Dr. Adamson, a famous Emeritus Professor from Pepperdine University to join us as one of our faculty member. The fellowship of Dr. Adamson with both of his expertise and integrity has brought PAI the milestone to an interstate research institution in the United States," said Dr. Tony Lei.

Nancy A. Becker was appointed by WBTI as Fellow of PAI on May 2, 2000. Nancy received her Juris Doctorate degree from George Washington University National Law Center in 1979. She is now a Justice of Nevada Supreme Court. She is the recipient of numerous honors. "It's our honor to invite a famous person of Justice Nancy Becker's excellenct caliber whose expertise, integrity, and good personal traits will bring this Institute wih a perspective of millennium," said Dr. Tony Lei on May 18, 2000. "Throughout her distinguished career, she has accomplished a great deal of judicial practices together with social services and has earned a good reputation of conscientious and dedicated professionalism."

As a born-again Christian, people had been inspired by U. S. Senator-elect John Ensign's sincerity, humanility, and credibility more than just his wealth and good looks in last November. In view of his admirable qualities, achievements, passion, and unshakable belief in building a better Nevada, WBTI led by Dr. Tony Lei, a fellow sincere believer, honored him as Advisor and Vice Chairman of its Advisory Board on November 8, 2000.

"It's a very prestigious honor to be appointed by WBTI as an Associate Fellow of PAI. WBTI is a very well respected and integral part of this community. I'm grateful to be joining such a distinguished panel of professionals who are committed to improving the lives of our citizens in this community. We've our Director and Fellow Dr. William Thompson; Fellows Nancy Becker, Dr. Roy Adamson, Mark Denton, Valorie Vega, Terry Care; Associate Fellows Lisa Brown, Cheryl Moss, Mary Kincaid, Lynette McDonald, Michelle Leavitt-Ftzpatrick, Cedric Kerns, Jessie Walsh, Betsy Kolkoski, Ann Zimmerman, Natalie Tyrrell, Sheri Vogel; Research Associate Sonya Douglass; Assistant Iris Zhang," said Judge Ann Zimmerman in May 2000.

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. The Bible teaches: "... let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth ( 1 John 3:18)." District ( Family ) Court Judge Cheryl Moss wrote Dr. Tony 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 for me 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 guaidance. I am also fortunate to have met you and your wife, Judy, because you are both active and dynamic individuals in the community. Your accomplishment and achievement 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."

"Even with the constancy of his presidential responsblities, Tony ( Dr. Tony Lei ) carved out time and energy during the past three years with wisdom and knowledge through the cooperation of Dr. William Thompson to create the blueprint for the Institution that ultimately paved the way for the 2000 openning of our Public Administration Institution (PAI) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI)," said Justice of the Supreme Court Nancy Becker for "Nevada Examiner " on June 30, 2000.

"Public Administraton Institution of WBTI has played the role as a private NPO (Non Pofit Organization) to promote the study and research of public administration and strategy for social and public benefit. With the effort of the Faculty and under the brilliant leadership of Dr. Tony Lei, WBTI has accomplished a valuable contribution to the academic research and community service for Nevada. We share a great deal of honor also as what the Justice of the Supreme Court Nancy Becker does for her prestige as a PAI Fellow. Her participation in this Institution will enrich and enhance its academic production featured with practicality and adaptability as an efficient 'intelligent Tank' through her excellent and fruitful public administration experience and contribution," said the President of Seniors United Lillian Wallace on "Nevada Examiner" in May 9, 2000.

"Thank you very much for showing your faith in me as evidenced by your nomination. It is indeed an honor for me to be nominated by you and to become a Fellow of Public Administration Institution of Washington Business and Technology Institute. This position will undoubtedly provide me with avenues for exploring improvements in public services to which I am most dedicated. I look forward to working together with you in these endeavors," wrote the District Judge Valorie Vega to Dr. Tony Lei from her Office of the Eightth Judicial Distict Court at the Clark County Courthouse on May 22, 2000.

"It is certainly an honor to be acknowledged by you for my commitment to serving this community. I look forward to expanding my public service by working with you and the Institute to continue to better our community. You dedication is a wonderful example of what others should strive to accomplish," wrote Judge Natalie Tyrrell to Dr. Tony Lei.

"WBTI has built a sound foundation with its excellent and achieved faculty members. We've been encouraged to better our endeavor for we've Dr. Kenny Guinn, Governor of Nevada as our Chairman of the Advisory Board; U. S. Senators Harry Reid and John Ensign as Vice Chairmen; and U. S. Congress Representatives James Gibbons and Shelley Berkley, and Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman as Executive Advisors," Judge Natalie Tyrrell said.

With his expertise and integrity as a famous professor of management achieved in writing college text books of management, presenting research papers to renowned international conferences, and leading academic institution by the name of WBTI, Dr. Tony Lei has enjoyed the distinctive mission with philanthropy to realize the good purposes and creeds of an organization through his many years accomplishments of knowledge, talents, and experiences on effective management and educational technology in balance of theoreticality and practicality. As Dr. Tony Lei is one of the person who glorify and thank the Almighty the most, we trust that God will be with those who honor Him.

"Your strength as a leader was apparent during our conversation. It is comforting to know that individuals such as yourself are utilizing their talents in an effort to better our community," stated Las Vegas Councilwoman Lynette McDonald in her letter from her Office in the City of Las Vegas to Dr. Tony Lei.

"Our greatest asset at WBTI is our people__not facades or fountains, not landscapes or lakescapes, but people-- faculty, advisory board members, administration, and a host of friends," said Dr. Tony Lei. "Enriching our reseach and community service process were made possible by these friends who joined and supported this academic institute. WBTI is really a chain of dedicated individuals who joined to research, serve, support and to give. We take great pride of our people, including our outstanding faculty members. They are some of the best in the world. We're sincere servers to improve the quality of life of all the residents and visitors of Nevada.

"Power in politics should have a direction that the power based on knowledge is the power of righteousness. We wish that a pure fountain may prosper and enrich our splendid and golden country through the spirit that knowledge calls, ultimately, for a life of service. In God we trust. Life is for the purpose to serve our lovely community and country," Dr. Tony Lei points out.

"One of my priorities will be 'telling the Pepperdine story' of quality and value to a large audience, reaching a broader demographic, and having a global range," said Dr. Andrew Benton at his Inauguaration as President of Pepperdine Univesity on September 23, 2000. "We need to strengthen Pepperdine's diversiy, its connection to its heritage, its sense of community and community involvement, and its scholarship and culture through faculty involvement in outside research and publishing."

"Chairman Thomas Bost of the Board of Regents believes that this new President is best equipped to lead Pepperdine to the next millennium with academic excellence and Christian values. Dr. William Bannosky, the school's fouth president, assures that the new president would seek the highest standads for academic and spiritual excellence," said Dr. Tony Lei who received his degrees of M.B.A. and Ed. D. (Doctor of Education) in Institutional Management from Pepperdine in 1969 and 1990, respectively.

On May 11, 2001, State Senator Terry Care, Chairman of the Democratic Party in Nevada, wrote Dr. Tony Lei: "I commend your work, the work of WBTI, and I wish to rely my respect for Justice Becker." For a special tribute to the Supreme Court Jusitice Nancy Becker and inducement of the Faculty of PAI of WBTI, a dinner and event party is held at Harbor Palace Seafood Restaurant by WBTI and Asian American Community today, May 23, 2001.

"I truly appreciate your efforts on my behalf and your commitment to bring 100 people to the event at Cashman field on March 26th. It is only with the dedication and commitment of good people like youself 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 activities in the community," wrote Governor Kenny Guinn to Dr. Tony Lei on March 6, 1998.

On December 5, 1999, the Office of Clark County Board of Commissioners presented the Proclamation to Dr. Tony Lei, which was signed and given by its Chairman and Commissioners: Chairman Bruce Woodbury, and Chairman; Vice-Chair Erin Kenny; Commissioners Yvonne Gates, Mary Kincaid, Lance Malone, Myrna Williams, and Dario Herrera. It states: "Dr. Tony Lei has served our community through a variety of venues. He has given freely of his time, energy, knowledge, and talents, working on projects and events that contribute to the quality of life in Clark County and has dedicated himself to public service to not only the Asian Community but to all citizens. Now, therefore, We, the Board of Clark County Commissioners, on this occasion, December 5, 1999, in celebration and recognition of his special accomplishments, do hereby recognize and honor Dr. Tony T. Lei, Ed. D. and urge all citizens to join us in wishing him a successful and bright future."*2

On October 1, 2002, the Office of Clark County Board of Commissioners presented the Proclamation to Dr. Tony Lei for his advanced contribution and accomplishment to the community, residents, and visitors of Nevada.

"As Director of Public Administration Institution (PAI) of WBTI, it's my privilege to share a leadership role with Dr. Tony Lei and to have the wonderful cooperation of all the faculty since PAI's establishment. Innovative in integrating his experience in institutional management and spiritual value in education, Dr. Tony Lei's wisdom and efforts towards community service and academic endeador have been very valuable. We expect the forthcoming work performance of Pan Pacific and Asian American Forum founded by this Institute to help improve the quality of life of the people and contribue to he prosperity of this State," said Dr. William Thompson. Bill is former Chairman and now Professor of the Department of Public Administration of UNLV. His son married a beautiful Chinese girl in Mongloria years ago. He plans to write a book for WBTI, which is expected to be published both in English and Chinese.

"Freedom, democracy, and Justice have constituted a legacy that we should keep, not because it is a legacy, but because it is right and justice. It has made the United States of America the freest and most prosperous country in history. It's our responsibility to join the effort together in making Nevada one of the peaceful, happy, and prosperous state of America through the cooperation and development of culture, tourism, business, and education with our foreign countries." said Lorraine Hunt, Lt. Governor of Nevada, for the Thai Performing Arts - Appreciation Day 2003. The Event and Party was held at the Charleston Height Arts Center on September 16, 2003, co-sponsored by WBTI, Arcata Associates, Kids for a Better Society, among others.

The spirit of both the innovation and entreprenuership has also motivated United States to be a leading and prosperous country. With its high-speed capability, Fiber Optics can convey mass quantity of images and voice information. It is because that the broadband technology such as Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) has been more and more developed. Moreover, because of the popular building of radio communication networks, wireless techniques may access important information from the web and condense it to be appeared on the small web connecting machines such as a hand-held screen. The open free software LINUX operating system can even connect various stations very easilly. All these advancement in science and technology, should be used to inspire the promotion of the quality of our daily life. In this new era of information and web works, we should add humanity concern into our thinking structures. God created the world. Everything can be decided by Him. As the value of the fellowship of Public Administration Institution of WBTI growing, we the people with intelligence and knowledge in administration, technology, science should enjoy a valuable and joyful life to serve our community and society with our efforts and wisdom.

Becky Ung is the hit winner of visitor number at sixty thousandth (#60,000th) of WBTI website
By GSBPA of WBTI*1

Becky Ung is the hit winner of visitor number at sixty thousandth (#60,000th) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) website at: http://communitylink.reviewjournal.com/lvrj/wbti early in the morning of May 30, 2004 in San Marino, California.

"Dear Dr. Lei,

I am so glad to be number 60,000th visitor of WBTI website. I always enjoy reading your articles of political, educational and cultural aspects of this well-designed site.

Recently I was involved with a program "Reading by 9", part of which is a parent's guide put out by L.A. Times and Chinese Daily Journal to promote parents helping kids to make reading fun and an important part of every day.

Reading is the most important fundamental skill for success in school and society. It is the first skill children must learn by age nine in order to do well in other subjects. Children first need to "learn to read" before age 9, then they need to "read to learn".

As you know, every year the month of May is "Asian Pacific Islander American Heritage Month". Recently, President George W. Bush has signed a new Executive Order entitled "Increasing Economic Opportunity And Business Participation Of Asian Americans And Pacific Islanders. This Executive Order renews the President's Advisory Commission on Asian American and Pacific Islanders, and also the Office of the White House Initiative on Asian American and Pacific Islanders, housed at the Department of Commerce, Minority Business Development Agency. The President is deeply committed to ensuring that the needs of Asian American and Pacific Islanders are addressed and, thus, the Initiative will focus on providing equal economic opportunities for Asian American and Pacific Islanders where they may be underserved.

I am honored to be the recipient of 49th Assembly District's Asian Pacific Islander American (APIA)Heritage Month Awards in the field of "FAMILY". The qualification of this award is: "This is a parent or a guardian who deserves to be recognized for the outstanding commitment to their family and may have faced adversity but has overcome many challenges. It is also a parent or a guardian who strives to continually empower and educate their children."

As you know I am always a strong advocate for children. I believe all children are our children and it does takes a village to raise a child. I will continue to strive to empower and educate all children.

I wish you the best.

Sincerely yours,

Becky," wrote Ms. Becky Ung in her e-mail to WBTI on May 30, 2004.*2

The following is an article entitled "Increase Your Potential and EQ for Success" by Natalie Tyrrell*3 and Tiffany Chang:

"It's been said there are three kinds of people: (1) Those who watch things happen. (2) Those who make things happen. (3) Those who wonder what happened? Don't be part of the third catergory of clueless people who wonder around aimlessly. It is not enough to breathe a sigh and figure that your learning days areover. Here you are in this world, this world that is undeniable the way it is. You can do nothing to change what happended in the past, yet you can do everything to vastly improve what lies in the future. You have the ability to build, to create, to improve yourself and your future. You can MAKE THINGS HAPPEN. Remember you have immense potential. Your future is vast and awesome. If you keep learning and improving, your destiny will bring you long term happiness, enrichment, success, love and much more. As the martial art student realized, his reward of the black belt represented the beginning - the start of a never-ending journey of discipline, work and the pursuit of an ever-higher standard. 'What is the true meaning of the diploma you are about to receive?' This is your Commencement Day. And it is only fitting to say to you, as we salute you for your accomplishment, that, truly, this is only the beginning," delivered the Commencement Speech at SMHS 2002 recently by Becky Ung, President of the School Board for San Marino Unified School District, California.

Becky is a national and international famous Speaker in California, United States; Taipei, Taiwan; and Beijing, Shanghai, Amoy, China. She has published a numerious Vidio Tapes, feature articles, and books. Her recent famous book named "What you Wish is What you Get" was published by Songan Publishing Inc. in 2001 at Taipei, Taiwan. The next one of hers, "E. Q. Unlimited," will be published by Franklin Publications at Taipei in the fall of 2002. She is an expert of E. Q. (Emotional Intelligence). Becky has been honored as an Assistant Fellow of the Culture Institution of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI).

"I am delighted by this honor. Thank you for the appointment. I think this is the biggest title that I have ever held!" Becky sent an e-mail to Dr. Tony Lei, President of WBTI, on May 19, 2002.

"Besides what I'm already doing in my teaching goal, I'd like to continue to introduce and integrate the best of American culture and social into Chinese churches and families to help them in the assimilation process. People have to pursue, accept, and embrace all kinds of opportunities and challenges that lives have to offer. I encourage them to utilize their potential to the fullest extent. I believe awareness is a pre-requisite to a happy and successful life. I'll do my best to serve the Lord and follow His will. I'll also devote my time, talents, and resources to help others and make a difference in their lives," she spoke to the public.

"As an Assistant Fellow of the Culture Institution of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI), it's my precious opportunity to realize my potential of entrepreneuship to work with all these outstanding faculty members of WBTI under the encouragement and spiritual leadeship of Elaine Chao who has been honored as the Chairperson of this Institute," said Becky Ung.

Jackie Glass has been appointed Adjunct Associate Professor of the GSBPA of Washington Business and Technology Institute
By Valorie Vega, Bill Young, and Tiffany Chang

"To gain trust, you have to give trust. As sappy as that sounds --- and it sounds like a gurgling vat of maple syrup --- it's the basis of all successful professional relationships," wrote Rosanne Badowski.*1

The Titus 2:7-8 of Bible tells us that, "In everything set ...an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemmed."*2

In meeting with the large and growing population of public employees in the states of Asia and Nevada, Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) will open its training programs for the increasing graduate study and research needs of professional public administrators. To emphasize the balance of the practicality and theoraticality of the programs, the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of WBTI has supported by many high-ranking officials of Nevada in offering their times, experiences, and knowledge to teach at an honorary or adjunct capacity.*3

"Through the recommendation by our several faculty members including District Judge Valorie Vega, Ms. Jackie Glass has been appointed Adjunct Associate Professor of the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) on March 9, 2004," announced Dr. John Wang, Spokesman of WBTI, on March 10, 2004 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Following the spirit of entrepreneurship, Jackie Glass has always been willing to take a challenge head on. Now she is on her challenge!

While still in high school, Jackie worked as a waitress to help buy her school supplies and school clothes. When she decided to attend the University of Georgia, she continued as a waitress and worked her way through college. She took on extracurricular assignments, and earned a degree in journalism.

Her journalism career brought Jackie to Las Vegas in 1978 where she began as a radio news reporter. She moved quickly to television and served as both a morning anchor and crime beat reporter. As she followed the course of the trials she covered, she watched attorneys in action, and knew she could do as well. A new challenge lay before her.

Once again, she worked her way through college, graduating from the University of San Diego School of Law. In 1984, Jackie passed the Nevada Bar exam before graduation, received her Juris Doctor Degree,*4 was admitted to the Nevada Bar, and married her husband, Steve Wolfson.

With her husband, Jackie worked to build their successful law practice while helping at her daughters' school, chaperoning field trips to Washington, DC, supporting the Girl Scouts and projects such as Nevada Reading Week.

On the professional side, Jackie has lectured at the UNLV Boyd School of Law, spoke on law topics at local high schools, and appeared on the KLVX show, "Law for the Layman". She has devoted years as a hearing master to juvenile, domestic and paternity issues as well as criminal law.

She credits her seventeen years of legal experience and her work as a journalist on the crime beat for giving her an insight for the law, the role of the judiciary, the needs of victims, and for ways to make our system work better.

She served as a member of the Las Vegas Housing Authority Board and spent six years as a Board Member of the Senior Citizens Law Project.

As a District Court Judge of Department 5, Nevada, Jackie Glass is part of a new generation involved with her family, her profession and her community to make a difference for all of us here in our Silver State.

People with integrity live with clear consciences. "To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice," stated in the Proverbs 21:3 of Bible.*5

"I agree with Judge Valorie Vega's idea to be honored as a Fellow of the Public Administration Institution (PAI) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI). She wrote: 'It will undoubtedly provide me with avenuess for exploring improvements in public services to which I am most dedicated.' I'm glad also to share the similar position as its faculty member--- Obligatory Legal Counselor of Pan Pacific and Asian American Forum (PPAAF).

"It's significant. Dr. Tony Lei told me that for community service --- that based on 'love in action is service above self' --- the abundanct reward from one's humune love, spiritual excellence, and professionalism of expertise are far more greater than solely his or her title," said Jackie Glass, Esq. on April 18, 2002. Jackie is now a famous District Judge of Nevada.*6

On March 9, 2004 at the Event and Dinner Party held by the Asian American Community for Ms. Ellen Knowlton, Special Agent in Charge, FBI, as the Speaker; Jackie was very pleased to learn from Dr. Tony Lei, President of WBTI, that she was challenged with a teaching professionalism in the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration of WBTI for our community at an adjucnt capacity.*7

"As a bridge between the business and university, the integrity of community service and academic research of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) will help Nevada go advance for the cooperation and development in education, business, and culture among international countries. As an Adjunct Associate Professor of the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of WBTI, it's my pleasure to extend my knowledge, experience, and professionalism in public service for community and education at the adjunct capacity,"*8 said Jackie Glass, District Judge of Nevada, at the event and dinner party by Unity Council of Nevada in Lindo Michoacan Mexican Restaurant on April 28, 2004 in Las Vegas.*9

Some good personal traits and skills for an individual to be successful in business
By Tiffany Chang

Jack Welch, GE's legendary leader for twenty years, liked to say that he didn't manage businesses, he managed people. Smart people, empowered to make decisions, make enterprises happen, while not-so-smart people or people rendered powerless by bureaucracy and micromanagement tend to run companies into the ground. This has always been true, and it is increasingly true in an era when knowledge is becoming more and more critical to job performance.*1

Peter Drucker, probably the world's most widely respected (and longest-tenured) management guru, once wrote an essay for the "Harvard Business Review" on "How to Make People Decisions." He went on for a thousand words or so and essentially said nothing more helpful than that executives "must take their people decisions seriously and work at them."*2

"After an investigative research on a person's character, scholars found that personal traits play a very important role in helping business executives and leaders to be successful. They found out that persons who are leaders should have wisdon and talent. These people have a broader interest and aptitude. They are good in self expression and public communication. Possibly, the most vivid fact to be felt by everyone is that, these persons all have a strong inner desire to pursue business accomplishment and have their good performance recognized," said Dr. Tony Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI).

"Among various business organizations, a research was conducted on the work performance of the American college graduates. It revealed that the following personal traits are important for the success of their business: (1) Ability to get along with people. (2) Ability to get things done. (3) Intelligence. (4) Desire for advancement. (5) Human relations skills. (6) Leading and administrative abilities. (7) Communication skills. (8) Ability to take important task. (9) Judgment. (10) Responsibility. (11) Decisions. (12) Adaptability. (13) Dependability. (14) Loyalty. (15) Vision. (16) Imagination."*3

As a supervisor or manager in business, there are certain techniques that you can use to improve your effectiveness to have telephone conversational skills: "(1) Answer your phone promptly. (2) Identify yourself and your company immediately. (3) Be friendly. (4) Have all your necessary resources available. (5) Indicate your regret or appreciation when applicable. (6) Use caller's name if it's offered. (7) Express your willingness to help. (8) Don't interrupt your customer. (9) Get as much information as you can. (10) Be understandable in your communication. (11) Be accurate and complete when giving information. (12) Be easy to deal with."*4

On the Chapter of "True Connection,"in the book of "Controlling People," the first page stated that, "Simply put, feeling connected is perceiving ourselves as a meaningful part of all."*5

We would also like to list 12 effective and 13 ineffective telephone techniques in business. A. 12 effective talent : (1) Smile. (2) Speak clearly and concisely. (3) Be enthusiatic. (4) Lower your voice pitch (5) Talk positive. (6) Be prepared for objections. (7) Talk directly into the mouthpiece. (8) Consider your customer's personality. (9) Speak in terms of benefits. (10) Discuss rather than tell. (11) Always thank the listener for his time. (12) Follow up if necessary."*6

B. 13 ineffective telephone skills are: (1) Frowning. (2) Muttering. (3) Sounding tired.(4) Speaking in monotone. (5) Being negative. (6) Being over confident. (7) Holding the telephone under your chin. (8) Rambling. (9) Making accusatory remarks. (10) Arguing. (11) Hanging up abruptly. (12) Forgetting to thank the listener. (13) Try to talk and do something else at the same time."*7

To be successful in business, we need to have positive thinking traits. There are 12 personal traits that characterize a positive thinker: Optimism, Enthusiam, Belief, Intelligence, Courage, Integrity, confidence, Judgement, Persistence, Liveliness, Vision, and Desire to excel.*8

Develop a clear vision of our prefered future, then get focused on key activities and efforts that take us in that direction. We shall see performance gains, achieve our goals, and have a happier and more successful practice. By persuing our own personal strategic plans with love and service, we will increase our energies, motivations, satisfactions, happiness, and the worthy value of our lives in business.

The Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) has put effort in spreading the golden words of wisdom for positive thinking in the business and public administration world.*9

"People worry about the huge amount of creativity that is wasted---lost forever---because talented people are prevented from giving their best by their lack of ability to influence others effectively," wrote Dr. Ken Blanchard in the 'Foreword' of the book entitled "Winning Ways," written by Dick Lyles.*10 "The business world has changed; organizations are getting flatter and more networked. Today, the key to success is one's ability to exercise peer leadership. The most successful individuals shine because of their ability to influence, empower, and energize others. In essence, they embody the principles and practices of Winning Ways."

"Rapid changes in technology and global competition have combined to reshape the corporate landscape. Corporate management has responnded to these changes by iniatating sweeping changes. The introduction of new technology may be touted as a productivity booster and turn out instead to be a total bust. Whatever the problem may be, you're the one who has to deal with it on a daily basis. Even when new ideas are well thought out, there are still problems in putting them into practice within your group," George Fuller wrote in the 'Introduction' of his book, "Win/win management: leading people in the new workplace."*11

There are lots of common headaches most of supervisors and leaders have to confront. "It's easy to understand how the broad scope these problems can easily lead to a less than steller attitude toward your job. However, adoping a sense of futility only serve to make matters worse. On the other hand, maintain a positive attitude helps you place things in perspective and can make coping eith problems a lot easier to do."*12

With more good personal traits, we shall be more easy to be a leader. In a Nutshell, Be a Leader, Dale Carnegie put the following suggestions in his book entitled "How to Win Friends & Influence People":

"A leader's job often includes changing your people's attitudes and behavior. Some suggestions to accomplish this:

Principle 1
Begin with praise and honest appreciation.
Principle 2
Call attention to people's mistakes indirctly.
Principle 3
Talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person.
Principle 4
Ask questions instead of giving direct orders.
Principle 5
Let the other person save face.
Principle 6
Praise the slightest improvement and praise every improvement. Be 'hearty in your approbation and lavish in your praise.'
Principle 7
Give the other person a fine reputation to live up tp.
Principle 8
Use encouragement. Make the fault seem easy to correct.
Principle 9
Make the other person happy about doing the thing you suggest."*13

To become more effective online communication in every online venue and to enjoy our golden words of wisdom for positive thinking
By Tiffany Chang

"We need individuals who can restore hope and create positive changes in our society. It is our responsibility as educator to produce leaders who will take that initiative. To do so, we must be at the level of the individual student and alumnus. Utimately, the school must strengthen the student's intellect and create a better, bolder, and more ehical thinker who will yield the greatest impact on the community in roles as educators therapists, and business persons," siad Nancy Magnusson Fagan at the time when she was the Dean of the Graduate School of Education and Psychology, Pepperdine University.*1

Today, one of the important slogan of the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) is: To become more effective online communication in every online venue!

Starting from 1980, the author had been benefit deeply from two main courses of the program of Doctorate Degree of Education (Ed. D.) in Institution Management of Pepperdine University.*2 They were: (1) ED 740 Computer Utilization in Institutional Management; and (2) ED 730 Methodological Approaches to Educational Research and Evaluation. The technical skills and knowledge of information management had sharpened his abilities of the research, management, and teaching in an national organization of information management and the graduate school of business administration. After many years of administrative resposibility in higher policy-making organization and teaching business school of famous universities, the author concentrated effort to study and acquire the knowledge and utilization of information management in the United States of America. That was ten years after he received his M. B. A. from Pepperdine. His two years of computer consulting job at the Computer Laboratory of the Graduate School of Education and Pshchology and the School of Business and Management of Pepperdine University advanced the practical experience for him to complete his dessertation entitled "A Study of the Impact of Enrollment in a Computer Science Class on Mathematics Scores and Attendance in a Secondary School". He taught information management for five years at the Graduate School of Business Administration of National Chunghsing University.

Indeed, business achievement is the new yardstick of success in today's society. Therefore, business has become not only the fastest growing major in undergraduate institutions but also in graduate school of famous universities, nationally and internationally. The emphasis of the online communication skills and the quantitative analysis techniques with computers is one of the most important study for the art of success to the business students, professionals, executives, and owners.

In many ways, business school is at the center of this cultural phenomenon. For some, the business school is the passport to the boardroom, the ticket to the top of the corporate ladder. these schools, nationally and internationally, pump out the new generation of business leaders by hundreds of thousands. "They are the pipeline of raw material with which the nation's --- and the world's --- leading business build the future. And MBAs are not limited to the traditional corporate world: From Wall Street to Madison Avenue, from Sand Hill Road to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, today's MBAs lead organizations large and small, in every conceivable industry. They are the executives and entrepreneurs who power the economy."3

"UNLESS YOU'VE BEEN LIVING IN A CAVE, you've seen enormous changes in communications technology over the past two decades. From orbiting satellites routing long distance phone calls to email to undreamed-of growth of the Internet, the age of communicating online, using computers and networks, is upon us all," stated at the first paragraphy of the 'Introduction' of the book, "How to say it online: everything you need to know to master the new language of cyberspac," written by Kim Baker and Sunny Baker.*4

"And what could be better news? To keep in touch, there's nothing faster or cheaper than email. To gain access to information and people, the power of online communication expands your reach from the local to the global. To meet new friends and even romance a potential life partner, online venues provide rich opportunities (if you know the right things to say and the best way to say them). At school, the Internet places volumes of knowledge on ever subject at your fingertips, and at work, computer networks make business communication more efficient than ever." *5

Whether you are in business or in non-profit organization, you need to have a Web site. This seems to be a common wisdom in now- a-days. Think seriously about the needs of your market before you go onto the Web to make more money for business, to develop better non-profit organization, or to contribute to more community service. "It's hard to believe that Fred's Service Station really needs a Web Site to reap new profits. However, for some businesses and professional service firms, the Internet and web to gether offer viable marketing and distribution opportunities. Software companies, online magazines, and email order businesses can do quite well from the Web --- if the owners know how to say the right things on their sites. The Secrets of a Successful Web Site: Just having a site on the Web will do almost nothing to sell your products or services. To promote your Web site, there are three things you must do: (1). You must register your Web site with the best search engines. (2). You should consider using the many free and not free advertising opportunities on the Web. (3) You should search the Web regularly for competitive and related sites, where you can attach a link to your site." *5 To be more successful for your Web site, you need to be favored by the most famous search engine services like Google!

"There is no longer any such thing as a purely national economy. The rest of the world is just too big to ignore, either as a market or as a competitor. If business schools do nothing other than to train their students to think internationally, they would have accomplished an important task," said John Young, CEO, Hewlett-Packard.*7

Innovation is the key to success, managers are looking everywhere in the global organization for new ideas. Modern companies would view Information technology (IT) as a major competitive differentiator. Strategic businesses emphazise the ueses of information technology for management. International companies develop their global IT platforms by integrating worldwide hardware, software, and Internet-based network architecture. Commuunication technology, for example the teleconferencing and computer networks, is making it possible for people from subsidiaries around the world to work together on project.

Many business are becoming global companies and moving toward transnational e-business strategies in which they integrate the global business activities of their subsidiaries and headquarters. The international dimemsions of managing global e-business technologies include dealing with cultural, political, and geoeconomic challenges posed by various countries for global marketplace. The e-business technologies are changing the distribution, relatonships, resources, and responsibilities of managers. Information Technology is helping managers of e-business to eliminate layers of amangement, enabling more collaborative forms of management, providing them with significant information technology resources, and confront them with major e-business and e-commerce challenge.

In order to keep the online universe a productive, safe, communicative environment, it is interesting and worth to post the ten commandments for computer ethics. They were created by the Computer Ethics Institute: (1). Thou shalt not use a computer to harm other people. (2). Thou shalt not interfere with other people's computer work. (3). Thou shalt not snoop around in other people's files. (4). Thou shalt not use a computer to steal. (5). Thou shalt not use a computer to bear false witness. (6). Thou shalt not use or copy softwear for which you have not paid. (7). Thou shalt not use other people's computer resources without authorization. (8). Thou shalt not appropriate other people's intellectual output. (9). Thou shalt think about the social consequences of the program you write. (10). Thou shalt use a computer in ways that show consideration and respect.

A sucessful businessperson always know the old rule that says "It's easier to keep an existing customer than to find a new one." In online customer relationships, this rule is just as important. Your goal should not only to get new visitors, but to cultivate your customer base to yield repeat sales, services, and referrals from satisfied purchasers, clients, and patronagers. "Besides a good product or service, there are only three things you need for successful online customer relations: strong communication, common courtesy, and exemplary customer service. Unfortunately, these old-fashioned values are often missing in many companies' online promotional communication." *9

President Andrew Benton of Pepperdine University took the opportunity to give the Grduate Schools Board of visitors a sneak preview of the campus in last May. The president, along with Dean of the business school Dr. Linda Livingstone, hosted several special guests including David Mount, Mrs. Reva Graziadio, who was accompanied by her daughter and son-in-law, Aliva and Stevan Calvillo.

In Addition, President Andrew Benton welcome former U. S. President Gerald Ford. "It is so right that he is here today, becuase when he serve on our Board of Regents we were envisioning this project," President Benton remarked.*2 President Ford understood what the completion of the Drescher Graduate School meant. More importanly he understood that the project reprents all that is good about a generation of people who continue to build a great America.

"I think our country should be proud of the fact that we proved that free enterprise, free election opportunities, free economic systems could prevail over state-run, governmen controlled nations," said President Ford.

"How can we leave the world in a better conditiion than we found it? Near the top of such answers is this: Build a teaching institution that is grounded in timeless truths. Or, as our mission statement expresses it, 'Pepperdine is a Christian unversity committed to the highest standards of academic excellence and Christian values, where students are strengthened for lives of purpose, service, and leadership.' That is a mission worth investing a life in," pointed out President Benton at his message on the "Pepperdine People".*10

To encourage a good writing and to inspire a good idea, we must have good readers and sincere friends!*11 One of the examples has been shown at the bottom paragraphs of this feature article.

"People worry about the huge amount of creativity that is wasted---lost forever---because talented people are prevented from giving their best by their lack of ability to influence others effectively," wrote Dr. Ken Blanchard in the 'Foreword' of the book entitled "Winning Ways," written by Dick Lyles.*12 "The business world has changed; organizations are getting flatter and more networked. Today, the key to success is one's ability to exercise peer leadership. The most successful individuals shine because of their ability to influence, empower, and energize others. In essence, they embody the principles and practices of Winning Ways."

"Rapid changes in technology and global competition have combined to reshape the corporate landscape. Corporate management has responnded to these changes by iniatating sweeping changes. The introduction of new technology may be touted as a productivity booster and turn out instead to be a total bust. Whatever the problem may be, you're the one who has to deal with it on a daily basis. Even when new ideas are well thought out, there are still problems in putting them into practice within your group," George Fuller wrote in the 'Introduction' of his book, "Win/win management: leading people in the new workplace."*13

There are lots of common headaches most of supervisors and leaders have to confront. "It's easy to understand how the broad scope these problems can easily lead to a less than steller attitude toward your job. However, adoping a sense of futility only serve to make matters worse. On the other hand, maintain a positive attitude helps you place things in perspective and can make coping eith problems a lot easier to do."*14

To initiate our programs more effectively for the people and communities who are interested to participate the programs, we need to emphasize the spirit of positive attitude and positive thinking.

Gov. guinn names Togliatti acting homeland security ADVISOR

CARSON CITY - Gov. Kenny Guinn announced today that George Togliatti would assume the role of acting advisor to the Governor on Homeland Security until a permanent replacement is named.

The Governor also announced that administrative functions of the Homeland Security Advisor would permanently remain under Togliatti, Director of the Nevada Department of Public Safety.

"What's important to understand is that when I created this post in 2002, the Legislature had not yet created the Nevada Homeland Security Commission," Gov. Guinn said. "Now that the federal Homeland Security program is more mature and our state commission is well on its way to developing a plan, I see the role of the Homeland Security advisor developing into an administrative support function to both the Office of the Governor and the Commission."

With the Homeland Security Advisor position being housed in the Department of Public Safety, Gov. Guinn believes the position will be more effective with more resources available.

As the Director of Public Safety, Togliatti oversees the Nevada Highway Patrol, Division of Emergency Management, State Fire Marshal Division, Investigation Division, Division of Parole and Probation, Capitol Police Division, State Board of Parole Commissioners, Office of Criminal Justice Assistance and the Office of Traffic Safety.

Gov. Guinn accepted the resignation of Jerry Bussell, the Governor's Special Advisor on Homeland Security, effective May 28.

The Nevada Commission on Homeland Security will meet on Monday to consider the Office of Domestic Preparedness Grant funding recommendations. The Commission was created by Assembly Bill 441 during the 2003 Legislative Session to create a Homeland Security Plan for the state of Nevada.
