She Walks in Beauty
By George Gordon Byron

SHE walks in beauty, like the night

Of cloudless climes and starry skies;

And all that¡¦s best of dark and bright

Meet in her aspect and her eyes:

Thus mellow¡¦d to that tender light

Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,

Had half impair¡¦d the nameless grace

Which waves in every raven tress,

Or softly lightens o¡¦er her face;

Where thoughts serenely sweet express

How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek, and o¡¦er that brow,

So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,

The smiles that win, the tints that glow,

But tell of days in goodness spent,

A mind at peace with all below,

A heart whose love is innocent!*1

**************************************************************

Love's Philosophy
By Percy Bysshe Shelley

The fountains mingle with the river,

And the rivers with the ocean;

The winds of heaven mix forever,

With a sweet emotion;

No thing in the world is single;

All things by a law divine

In another's being mingle *

Why not I with thine?

See* the mountains kiss high heaven,

And the waves clasp one another;

No sister flower could be forgiven

If it disdained its brother;

And the sunlight clasps the earth,

And the moonbeams kiss the sea;

What are all these kissings worth,

If thou kiss not me?*2

Impressed by the beauty of the flier for the cover of my book entitled "Entering the Realms of gold," which was designed by Dr. Tony Lei on the WBTI website in the middle of May this year, I used to point out that,"The creative design for my poetry by Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) has won applause from the public for its selfless contribution to the encouragement and promotion of the Chinese literature all around the World. I'm deeply impressed by its effort and wisdom of humane creed to community service and spiritual belief." The webside is brought to you by the Las Vegas Review-Journal through its Communitylink on: http://communitylink.reviewjournal.com/lvrj/wbti.

***Jerry Tao For Clark County Commissioner in District C*2
A Strong And Independent Advocate For The Neighborhoods

Runaway growth, escalating crime rates, air pollution, water shortages, and corruption in the halls of government -- these are only some of the challenges that confront us today.

We need a County Commissioner with the integrity and independence to fight to protect our neighborhoods, our property values, and our quality of life.

One who's free from conflicts-of-interest and can stand up against special interests and fight for what's right.

I'm Jerry Tao. I'm not a professional politician. I'm a Deputy District Attorney, and I work to get murderers, rapists and drug dealers out of our neighborhoods and to put them in prison where they belong.

As a criminal prosecutor, I fight hard every day to remove predators from our neighborhoods. As your Commissioner, I'll fight just as hard to remove corruption and dishonesty from local government and to restore the idea that democracy belongs to all of us.

I've created this site to tell you more about my campaign. I hope you'll give me the opportunity to earn your support in the coming months.

Who I Am

I am a living example of the American Dream.*3 My parents immigrated to this country with $50 and one suitcase in search of a better life for their children. I attended public schools, worked my way through Cornell University by stocking shelves in a neighborhood supermarket, then graduated near the top of my law school class at the George Washington University. From a strong family of humble origins, I rose to become a practicing lawyer and then a senior aide to U.S. Senator Harry Reid.

Today, I'm blessed to serve the people of greater Las Vegas as a Deputy District Attorney, where I prosecute criminal cases ranging from murder and drug dealing to arson, sexual assault and robbery. Every day, I work to make our neighborhoods a little safer and more livable. With your help, I'd like to continue to serve our community as your County Commissioner.

Why I'm Running
6,000 new residents move here every month because of all that Las Vegas has to offer - low taxes, affordable housing, warm weather, all wrapped up in one of the liveliest cities on earth. That growth has brought new challenges - traffic jams and urban sprawl, higher crime rates, overcrowded schools, rising electricity and water rates and that brown cloud of pollution that dirties our beautiful blue sky nearly every day.

The neighborhoods in our fast-growing District C need a strong and independent advocate to help reclaim their government. The people who live here deserve to be represented by a County Commissioner who speaks for them -- not for self-interested developers with inside connections -- on issues like traffic and growth, neighborhood schools, air and water quality, and public safety.

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
