GSBPA of WBTI's slogan for business and tourism--- To become more effective online communication in every online venue!

On June 11, 2004, Nevada officials opened the first U.S. tourism office in China, hoping to boost the number of foreign visitors to the Silver State. Lorraine Hunt, Lt. Gov. of Nevada, led a delegation of state tourism and hotel representatives to China to celebrate the opening.
"The state hopes to attract five million Chinese tourists a year," said Bruce Bommarito, executive director of the Nevada Commission on Tourism,
He believes that China is the greatest potential market force in the world. "It's mind-boggling. The Chinese tourist is the highest-spending tourist in the world," said Bruce Bommarito.*2
Nevada is the only state in the country to obtain the required certification by the China National Tourism Administration to operate an office.
"Nevada is a popular destination for Chinese tourists. Officials there say over 90% of the 250,000 people who travel to the United States from China stop in Nevada, primarily Las Vegas."*3
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."4
"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.*5
"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." *6
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."*7 To be more successful for your Web site, you need to be favored by the famous search engine services like Yahoo! (www.yahoo.com), Aol! (www.aol.com), Google! (www.google.com), Infoseek! (www.infoseek.com), among others.
"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.*8
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." *10
To serve the community with wisdom and effort is one of the creed of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI). The following is a post of the news in Chinese about the coming trip of U. S. Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao to China:
[In case you've problem to access the Chinese, please: (1)Hit the "View"; (2)hit the "Encoding"; and then (3)hit the "Chinese Traditional (Big5)".]

U. S. Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao received her B. A. degree in Economics with straight A's for all her four years at the famous Mount Holyoke College in New England. She obtained her M. B. A. degree from Harvard University in 1979. She also studied at M.I.T., Dartmouth College, and Columbia University.
At the time she was nominated by President Bush as the Secretary of Labor, she told her father that she does not intend to be an "Authoritative Official". She hoped that she could contribute to our society and nation.*13
Secretary Chao has received numerous awards for her professional accomplishments and community service. She is the recipient of 21 honorary doctoral degrees from colleges and universities around the world.
Secretary Chao is married to the Majority Whip of the United States Senate, Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.
"Elaine L. Chao is the nation's 24th Secretary of Labor, representing a new generation of American leadership. Since her confirmation by the United States Senate on January 29, 2001, she has been dedicated to carrying out the Department of Labor's mission of inspiring and protecting the hardworking people of America. She is respected as an effective and articulate champion of the nation's contemporary workforce, acting quickly to focus the Labor Department on the modern realities of workers' lives." *14
"When President George W. Bush nominated Elaine L. Chao, the first Asian-American woman appointed to a President's cabinet in U.S. history, he described her as an individual with �sstrong executive talent, compassion, and commitment to helping people build better lives."
According to the U. S. Department of Labor, Secretary Elaine Chao's compassionate nature stems from her own background as an immigrant to this country at the age of eight. Her family's experience transitioning to a new country, supported by one another and the kindness of friends and neighbors, taught her that encouragement is the key to fostering independence, and that Americans are naturally compassionate people. This inspired her to dedicate most of her professional life to ensuring that people have the opportunity to pursue lives of dignity and financial independence.
As Director of the Peace Corps, Ms. Elaine Chao was one of the first Americans to personally embrace the people of the former communist bloc into the family of democratic nations, establishing Peace Corps programs in the Baltic nations of Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and the newly independent states of the former Soviet Union. Later, as President and Chief Executive Officer of United Way of America, she restored public trust and confidence after the organization was tarnished by mismanagement and financial abuse, thus preserving the nation's largest institution of private charitable giving.
The experience Ms. Elaine Chao gained at the United Way helping communities address their local needs prepared her to mobilize the Department of Labor to promote pathways to economic freedom for individuals and families working to achieve the American Dream. She describes her vision for America's workforce as �oone in which everyone can participate where jobs and opportunities are available for those leaving welfare, job training is accessible for those left behind, disability never bars a qualified person from the workplace, and where parents have an easier time balancing the responsibilities of work and home.
"Secretary Chao's previous government career includes serving as the Deputy Secretary at the U.S. Department of Transportation, Chairman of the Federal Maritime Commission, and Deputy Maritime Administrator in the U.S. Department of Transportation. She brings a wealth of business experience to the post, having worked as Vice President of Syndications at BankAmerica Capital Markets Group and a banker with Citicorp. Prior to her nomination as Secretary, she expanded her study of policy as a Distinguished Fellow at The Heritage Foundation, a Washington-based public policy research and educational institute. She was selected as a White House Fellow in 1983," states the Department.*15
Following the inspiration of the past many years of the accomplishment of Ms. Elaine Chao's contribution of humane spirit to our society, we have the persistense of Wou Shien's spirit for education here in America. If a coolie and hard woker like him could dedicate to eduction by offering all his income and life to build a school for children in his village, what should not for us to offer our efforts for our community? *16

Reid Urges Extension of Terrorism Insurance Act
***Senator Reid is urging the U.S. Treasury to extend a successful program that makes terrorism insurance affordable for American businesses. After the September 11th attacks, owners of skyscrapers and other landmarks, including Las Vegas Strip resorts, realized they needed to be insured against bombings and other large-scale acts of aggression. Reid is pushing to extend this program that protects Nevada businesses and jobs.

*****Members of the Nevada delegation, Senator John Ensign (left), Rep. Jim Gibbons and Senator Reid, at a press conference to announce their bipartisan support for the Lincoln County public lands bill that was introduced this week in the House and Senate.
"Week in Review"
Senate Makes Progress on Defense Authorization - The Senate this week made progress on the Department of Defense budget authorization bill, debating and voting on several amendments. Senators overwhelmingly approved a bipartisan amendment to increase the Army's troop strength by 20,000. On a vote largely along party lines, the Senate defeated a measure that would have rolled back the tax cut for the wealthiest 1 percent of taxpayers to pay for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. A final vote on the DoD authorization is expected next week.
Reid Fights for Disabled Veterans- Senator Reid continued his long battle to end the unfair tax on disabled veterans, which deducts their disability benefits from their earned military retirement pay. The Senate on Friday adopted Reid's amendment to speed up the concurrent receipt of disability benefits and retirement pay for veterans who are 100 percent disabled.
Senate Intel Panel OKs Report- The Senate Intelligence Committee Thursday night unanimously approved a 400-page report on the quality of U.S. intelligence prior to the war in Iraq. But Committee Chairman Pat Roberts (R-Kan) estimated that the CIA has blacked out about half of the panel's work.
AARP Endorses Drug Reimportation- The AARP this week began a lobbying effort to support a bipartisan bill that would allow the reimportation of prescription drugs from Canada. The Medicare bill that President Bush signed last year does not allow reimportation
"INSIDER'S CALENDAR"
The Senate will convene Monday, June 21, at 1:00 p.m., and resume consideration of the Department of Defense Authorization bill. The Senate will continue to process amendments to the bill. Any roll call votes ordered will begin at approximately 5:30 p.m.
When the Senate completes action on the DOD bill, the Senate is expected to begin consideration of the Class Action Reform bill.
"Reid's Words"
Newly released tape recordings prove that Enron was ripping off consumers in Nevada and other states during the Western power crisis. I'm afraid we have a similar situation today with soaring gas prices - big oil companies are reaping record profits, and consumers are getting gouged.*3
