S. Congresswoman Shelley Berkley extends to you this invitation to join in her Campaign Kick-off By Shelley Berkley and GSBPA of WBTI*1 Good morning my friends! It is my integrity and endeavor to devote myself for the people and country of Nevada and the United Stated of America. How nice will it be for more of my friends to join my "Berkley Campaign Kick Off 2004"! I extend to you this invitation (by Berkley for Congress) to join in my Campaign Kick-off for Re-election to the U.S. Congress Thursday July 1st, 2004 at the Club in the Cannery Hotel & Casino 2121 E. Craig Road at Losee BBQ Reception begins at 6:00pm LIVE MUSIC with Doo-Wopp.com $20.04 Donation Per Person Requested(Children under Voting Age Free) Please RSVP by returning enclosed envelope, calling 212-3350 or by e-mail to RSVP@BerkleyforCongree.com.*2 The following is my stetement on Passing of Former President Reagan: Berkley statement on Passing of Former President Reagan June 9, 2004 Mr. Speaker, I rise today to express my sincere condolences to former first lady Nancy Reagan and the entire Reagan family. And I join our Nation in expressing profound sorrow at the loss of our 40th President.*3 Ronald Reagan had a special place in the hearts of Nevadans. Long before he came to the White House, Ronald Reagan in a another life headlined on the Las Vegas Strip as an entertainer in the early 1950s. Later as Governor of California, he worked with his counterpart from Nevada, former U.S. Senator and Governor Paul Laxalt, to address environmental threats to Lake Tahoe. While in the White House, Ronald Reagan would often turn to his old friend from Nevada, Senator Laxalt, who was one of his closest advisers during his time in our Nation's Capital. Ronald Reagan served our Nation with honor and distinction. He will long be remembered for his warm wit, his quiet strength, and ability to inspire through his words and his deeds. His actions as President reshaped the course of the 20th century, and his unbridled optimism helped restore America's faith in itself. Today we also remember Ronald Reagan for his leadership and for his unwavering vision that Americans remain for all a land of hope, promise, and opportunity.*4 It is important to have more "grass-roots support" for people to win. GSBPA would like our friends to share some idea of the following article: Thursday, June 24, 2004 Copyright @ Las Vegas Review-Journal JANE ANN MORRISON: In today's politics, grass-roots effort requires more seed money*5 The definition of "grass-roots support" is changing. Years ago, it meant that a candidate's neighbors, friends and supporters got out and spread the word. Or volunteers from each party called and walked. Then the unions made it more sophisticated, going door to door to their members, urging them to vote for union-friendly candidates. Today you can buy grass-roots support, which is what Las Vegas City Councilman-elect Steve Wolfson did. With his $100,000 war chest, he hired Billy Rogers' Southwest Group to walk door to door, find out the specific issues voters cared about and follow up with letters on those issues. It was part of a coordinated effort with Gary Gray, who handled the political and advertising strategies, including the nine Wolfson mailers. One sign that it worked: After the only candidates' forum for the Ward 2 race, a man explained to me how he had been wavering between Gabriel Lither and Wolfson. Wolfson won his support by coming to his door personally and talking issues with his wife, then soon afterward receiving a letter from the criminal defense attorney about those issues. In addition, Wolfson would follow up with a personal phone call several days later. He spent six to seven hours on the phone toward the end, calling voters. "I asked voters what's important to them and made them feel like I care," he said on the night of the election, before realizing that didn't sound quite right. Then he added, "Because I do care." "It was very personal; it was grass roots for the 21st century," Wolfson consultant Gray said.*6 But it didn't come cheap. The first campaign finance reports showed that Wolfson paid Southwest Group $38,000, and another $43,000 went to Gray & Associates. Those numbers probably will increase in the next report after final bills are paid. But Lither, who was in second place trailing Wolfson by only 245 votes, has his own grass-roots support. The deputy attorney general, who had fought to limit the size of the Red Rock Station resort and most often is described as a neighborhood activist, had backing from walkers from the Culinary union Local 226, foes of the anti-union Station Casinos. These walkers weren't hired by Lither; they were part of the union effort. "This was not David and Goliath," Rogers said after Wolfson was the declared winner and Lither was in second place. "These were evenly matched operations doing everything they could to ID their voters and get them to the polls." Sarah Jaffa, one of the 15 Wolfson walkers from Southwest Group, said she was nervous on Election Day when she overheard a Culinary walker say someone hadn't voted, "but she gets off at 3." The Culinary effort to get out the vote was frightening, Jaffa said, because organizers knew details about potential union voters, such as what hours they worked, which made it easier to find potential voters and urge them to vote. Jaffa called Rogers and said the main competition wasn't from commercial real estate agent Ric Truesdell, who had raised the most money next to Wolfson. It was from Lither, who had reported raising less than $4,000. For Wolfson, it was a long, nerve-wracking evening. "At first, I was encouraged. I had a 10-point lead." But that lead started dipping. He finally won with a 4 percentage-point victory when final results rolled in at 9 p.m. The 6 percentage-point drop as voting progressed showed that the Culinary effort helped, even if it didn't succeed. (This marks the second City Council race in which the union's efforts failed to bring victory. In 2003, the union worked on behalf of Las Vegas Councilman Michael McDonald, who lost to Janet Moncrief. What does this bode for Democratic Assemblyman David Goldwater's union-backed challenge of Clark County Commissioner Lynette Boggs McDonald?) "When I first started this, there were tons of stay-at-home moms, and you could get them to make calls all day," Gray said. "They don't exist anymore because the moms have full-time jobs, just like their husbands." Now you hire your "grass-roots support." If you have enough money. ***Jane Ann Morrison's column appears Monday, Thursday and Saturday.

The political novice, while a prosecutor, doesn't think he needs to do any more than say: It ain't so. The Democrat who wants to unseat the GOP incumbent obviously didn't listen to President Reagan's mantra, "Trust, but verify." Tao moved here three years ago. He has a good reputation around the courthouse.*2 He also has an edgy Web site that features "The Chip Maxfield conflict-o-meter." It lists the specific votes on which Maxfield abstained and states: "On each of these votes, Chip couldn't do the job he was elected to do." By Tao's count through February, Maxfield, an engineer with Southwest Engineering, abstained 175 times in the first three years of his term. The financing of Tao's campaign came into question after he filed his campaign contribution report in February. He reported raising more than $187,000, which puts him within spitting distance of Maxfield's $233,000 war chest. However, he said $150,000 was a loan from himself and his father, Louis Tao, an attorney living in McClain, Va. Separately, Tao listed a $10,000 contribution from his dad, which is no problem since the maximum contribution in Nevada is $5,000 for the primary and $5,000 for the general election. But family members can't loan candidates money. Such a loan might be a violation of state law. The Maxfield campaign kindly brought it to my attention. Tao had initially told the Las Vegas Sun the money was from a home equity loan. In 1993, he and his parents bought a home for him to live in in Manhattan Beach, Calif. It is now a rental. Later, he told me he obtained a $250,000 second mortgage on that home in January 2003 and that's the source of the $150,000 loan. He said he mistakenly included his father's name when reporting the loan on his campaign finance report. The original purpose of the loan, he said in an e-mail, was to improve his Las Vegas home. However, legally, he said he can spend the money however he likes. County records show his residence in Las Vegas is 100 percent owned by his parents. No records could be found of the second mortgage. When I asked to see the mortgage documents to prove the loan is from a bank and not his dad, the 36-year-old Tao made an offer. "I'll make a deal with you: I will gladly show you documents relating to my mortgage, if Chip agrees to show you documents revealing how much of his personal income as an engineer is derived from businesses that have matters pending before the commission and which are creating all of those conflicts of interest." The prosecutor never proved it wasn't a loan from pop but managed to get back on message that Maxfield is too close to developers. His point: Are developers hiring Maxfield's engineering firm to buy influence? Maxfield, a civil engineer for 25 years and a partner in Southwest Engineering for 18 years, said out of about 600 items a month he votes on, he discloses and sometimes abstains if his firm does work for the applicant. He said his firm does no work with Clark County or any of the other boards he sits on, such as the Regional Transportation Commission. However, it does do work for other governments he doesn't oversee, such as North Las Vegas. "If your firm represents them on projects in Clark County, we have an ethical obligation to disclose, and that's exactly what I do," Maxfield said. Told of Tao's "deal," Maxfield said Friday, "I am disinclined to acquiesce. ... "Jerry Tao has been unable to convince us he's innocent, so now he's desperately trying to confuse the voters," the commissioner said. "He's a deputy district attorney. He should know the importance of avoiding even the appearance of any impropriety. I'd hope he'd provide all the information, so that everybody would feel comfortable that he hasn't broken any campaign laws." Since Tao decided against offering the evidence showing the $150,000 loan wasn't from family, this won't be the last time you'll hear about his financing. But neither will Tao let go of his contention that Maxfield is too close to developers.*3 ----------------------------------------------------- References *1.

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.

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.*9 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.

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 "The mission of this School [Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI)] will emphasize the humanitarian orientation of public administration and the social responsibility of business management. Through academic entrepreneurship, we may expect the endeavor of this School for the community service based on humane spirit, led by Chairperson Elaine Chao of WBTI," said Dr. Dina Titus, Adjunct Professor of Administrative Strategies in GSBPA.*17 Nina Titus was born May 23, 1950 in Thomasville, Georgia. She graduated from College of William and Mary with A.B.. She received her M. A. and Ph. D. degrees from University of Georgia and Florida State University, respectively. She is a Senator and Minority Floor Leader of Nevada Senate. Dina is also a professor of Political Science in UNLV. --------------------------- References *1.
