Yin Yan received an M.B.A. from University of Pheonix in 2002. She had a B.S. degree in Finance and Statistics from Hu Nan University, China in 1994. In 2000, she received a B.S. degree from Arizona State University. Yin is now the Vice President of America Taiyu International, LLC.

The following e-mail was prepared by Yin Yan to WBTI on November 23, 2004:

Dear Dr. Lei,

Tom Peters said that, "Nothing good or great can be done in the absence of enthusiasm." It's my honor to be named as one of the Assistant President of CCDAPCC. To have a great deal of enthusiam with my effort, knowledge, and experience will be my devotion to this significant organization for our community in Southern Nevada. I'm enthusiastic to work with such a team of professionals with special status and expertise
for community service and humane spirit under the leadership of our Chairmen David Roger and Bill Young.

In the near future, I will concentrate my effort to recruit some number of the membership of this Commission.

Best regards,

Yin Yan
Vice President,
America Taiyu Investment, LLC.

The following e-mail was sent by Yin Yan to WBTI on November 24, 2004:

Tony,

Sorry that I couldn't get back to you earlier. Guess it's too late for
me to
write anything now. But I truly appreciated that you could offer me
such an
important position at this organization, and felt honorable be a member
of
this winning team. Please feel free to let me know if you need my help
in
the future events. I will be happy to work with you and your team to
serve
our community whenever needed.

Best Wishes,
Yin Yan

Enriching our community service and humane spirit process were made possible by these friends who joined and supported this Commission. CCDAPCC 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 and executives. We're sincere servers to improve the quality of life of all our Nevadans. Power in politics should have a direction that the power based on knowledge is the power of righteousness. It's our pleasure to pay a tribute to many high-ranking officials of Nevada who dedicate to the civic and community service aspects of our organization in an honorary or adjunct capacity. 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.

It is our pleasure to post the following feature article:

Every day, I work to make our neightborhoods a little safer and more livable," wrote Jerry Tao on one his fliers.

"It's my great pleasure to be nominated by WBTI as its Honorary Chairman and Senior Advisor of CCDAPCC," said District Attorney Stewart Bell at the Dinner Party to "Nevada Examiner" and "Las Vegas Review-Journal". "The significance of the creed of a County deserves to encourage administrative professionals to emphasize the value of the truth, goodness, and beauty in order to maintain it as a place of the people, by the people, and for the people.

WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COSTS CONTINUE TO DECREASE in Nevada
By Dr. Kenny C. Guinn*1

I’d like to tell you about another positive development for Nevada’s business climate. Since this administration privatized Nevada’s workers’ compensation system in 1999, one of the major success stories for our state has been the downward trend in workers’ compensation rates. This privatization resulted in the elimination of a potential $1.6 billion state liability and helped the state create better efficiencies, resulting in the elimination of more than 500 employee positions. As a result, most Nevada employers have seen a consistent reduction in renewal premiums.

Recently, the National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) submitted a filing to decrease workers’ compensation voluntary insurance loss costs in Nevada by an average of 6.8 percent. The NCCI also filed for a decrease in workers’ compensation insurance assigned risk rates by an average of 1.9 percent. The changes will become effective in January 2005.

This is the second year in a row that workers’ compensation loss costs have declined for Nevada’s employers. In 2004, rates were decreased by 12.3 percent in voluntary loss costs and 15.6 percent in assigned risk rates. This is in contrast to many other states, where workers’ compensation rates have remained flat or increased.

Nevada’s efforts to diversify the state’s business portfolio benefit greatly from these falling rates, as reduced costs encourage businesses to relocate to Nevada. In addition, reduced costs encourage existing businesses to remain firm in their commitment to Nevada. Although it should be noted that NCCI loss costs are only one component of the rates charged by insurers, this recent news is yet another encouraging sign of the state’s ever-strengthening business climate.

*1. About Governor Kenny Guinn (by the Editor of this flier):

Kenny Guinn, 67, earned undergraduate and graduate degrees in Physical Education from Fresno State University and later obtained a doctorate in Education from Utah State University in Logan. He was named Superintendent of Schools in Clark County and served with distinction in that position until 1978.

In his work for the Clark County School District, Guinn was recognized as an effective administrator committed to educational excellence at a time when the county was experiencing exponential student growth. His service to Clark County students was honored when Kenny C. Guinn Junior High School was named for him.

In 1978, Guinn began applying his management skills in business as Administrative Vice President for Nevada Savings and Loan in Las Vegas, which later became PriMerit Bank. At PriMerit, he was appointed as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Las Vegas-based bank. Soon thereafter, Guinn was recruited to the energy business as the President of Southwest Gas Corporation and eventually became Chairman of the Board of Directors of that utility in 1993.

In 1994, Guinn was recruited by the University of Nevada Board of Regents to serve as interim president of the University of Nevada-Las Vegas.

In addition to his one-year term at UNLV, Guinn served the state in leadership roles on a variety of committees and commissions, including the Clark County Community College Advisory Committee, the UNLV Foundation Board of Trustees, the White House Conference on Children and Youth, among others.

Guinn has also worked in his community in a variety of volunteer roles, ranging from involvement in the Boy Scouts and Pop Warner Football to the United Way of Southern Nevada and the Southern Nevada Independent Youth Athletic Association.

Kenny spent his boyhood in the small, Central Valley town of Exeter, California where he met Dema, his wife of 47 years. Kenny Guinn believes in families.

Dr. Kenny Guinn is Chairman of the Advisory Board of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI). He is now the Governor of Nevada, U. S. A. at his second term.

Great! Google Launches PC Hard-Drive Search Tool
By GSBPA of WBTI*1

"Google Inc. on Thursday became the first tech heavyweight to tackle the daunting task of uncluttering computers, introducing a program that quickly scours hard drives for documents, e-mails, instant messages and past Web searches," reported MICHAEL LIEDTKE, an AP Business Writer, on October 15, 2004.*2

"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.*3

"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." *4

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 famous search engine services like Yahoo! (www.yahoo.com), Aol! (www.aol.com), Google! (www.google.com), Infoseek! (www.infoseek.com), among others.

"With the free desktop program, Google hopes to build upon the popularity of its Internet-leading search engine and become even more indispensable to the millions of people who entrust the Mountain View-based company to find virtually anything online. The new product, available at http://desktop.google.com , ups the ante in Google's intensifying battle with software giant Microsoft Corp. and Yahoo Inc., which owns the world's second most popular search engine," Writer MICHAEL LIEDTKE continued.*6

"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.

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.*8

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

Las Vegas Planning Commission gives thumbs up to 73-story tower
By MICHAEL SQUIRES
REVIEW-JOURNAL

Passers-by at Las Vegas Boulevard and Sahara Avenue might have a reason, other than their memories of a defunct casino, to say, "Holy cow!"

Plans for what would be the Las Vegas Valley's tallest residential building, on the former site of the Holy Cow! casino, were approved by the city's Planning Commission late Thursday.

The 73-story Summit tower would reach skyward 863 feet, higher than any high-rise building in the valley or any of the multitude of tall buildings on the drawing board. It would stand second only to the 1,149-foot-tall Stratosphere on the city's skyline.

"We think it will set the standard for continued development along Las Vegas Boulevard heading north," said the project's designer, Tom Schoeman, a principal of JMA Architecture Studio. "It will revitalize the area. You're bringing several thousand new residents to that location."

The Australian developers behind the project, Victor Altomare and Joseph Di Mauro, couldn't be reached for comment.

The city's endorsement of the tower's size underscores, yet again, that when it comes to downtown redevelopment and its nascent skyline, the city's philosophy is: The taller the better.

"I'd like to see it higher," Mayor Oscar Goodman said of the project earlier in the day. "I want to distinguish downtown Las Vegas as being a place where we can go into the heavens as far as our projects are concerned. ... As high a density as I can get into the downtown, that's what I'm looking for."

The building, which would house 951 condos, would sit on two acres, part of which was until March 2002 home to the Holy Cow! casino. The developers expect to sell 75 percent of the units as second and third homes, while only 25 percent would be purchased by Las Vegans.

The tower's bottom three floors would be public space filled with shops, restaurants and clubs, Schoeman said.

The Planning Commission also was scheduled to consider plans for: a 50-story, 560-foot tower on the northwest corner of Rancho Drive and Sirius Avenue proposed by Highrise Partners; and two 10-story and two 16-story high-rises at Rancho and Lake Mead Boulevard by Investment Group.

The commission recommended approval of the Highrise Partners project and recommended denial of the Investment Group project.

The City Council will have final say on the projects next month.

If built, the Summit would trump Donald Trump's proposed 645-foot tower slated for west of the Strip near the intersection of Industrial Road and Fashion Show Drive. When Trump unveiled his plans in July he billed it as Las Vegas' tallest.

Neighbors, who in the past fought the Stratosphere over plans to add a thrill ride to the casino's tower, have met with the Summit tower's developers and support the project.

"The general feeling is it's a positive thing for the neighborhood," said Ben Contine, president of the Beverly-Green Neighborhood Association. Residents, however, fear the tower might alter the flight paths of tour helicopters, moving them over their homes, Contine said.

But some said the lofty plans for a nearly 900-foot tower and other high-rise developments should be greeted with a healthy dose of skepticism over whether they will even be built.

"There is no greater repository of grandiose plans than Las Vegas," said UNLV history professor Hal Rothman. "They come here and promise the moon."

Local real estate expert John Restrepo, who has warned a cooling in suburban home sales could make high-rise condos a tougher sell, expects at least half of the projects will never be built.

"We're seeing both speculators and real developers," he said.

Schoeman said financing is lined up for the Summit tower, but it requires that a certain number of buyers sign on the dotted line before the money becomes available for construction.

"Whether the project will be realized is dependent on sales," he said.
