"立法院長王金平釋出今年八、九月可能有機會率團前往大陸參加帕拉林匹克運動會（殘障奧運），王金平今（五）日又透露，我國的殘障奧運代表團，傳達希望總統夫人周美青率隊前往。他強調，以周美青率團為第一優先考量，這項意見已向馬總統傳達，正等待府方回應。 身為第一夫人的周美青，退休後要投身公益，王金平今天透露，當初中華民國帕拉林運動總會找他，希望他可以率團前往，但他當時向代表團說，「大概不能去」，因為立法院長的位置相當敏感，一切還在評估當中。但我國代表團也傳達可以請周美青率團，王金平說，如果周美青可以去，應列為第一優先考量，他已向總統馬英九轉達此一想法，但馬總統還沒有回應," wrote Writer 黃筱筠 of the 中時電子報 in Taipei.*3 "王金平說，如果由總統夫人率團，可能要考量的事項會更多，但如果周美青同意，當然以周美青為第一優先，畢竟這是慈善與公益性質活動，現在大家都「靜候佳音」；若周美青不去，為穩定代表團軍心，他已情商立法院副院長曾永權率團前往."

"今年八月八日將於北京舉行奧運開幕式，因兩岸主權事涉敏感，這次對岸邀請了佛光山星雲法師以代表台灣的領袖級身分出席北京奧運。前體委會主委、現任國民黨立委趙麗雲表示，星雲法師安排的位置在主席台，與大陸國家主席胡錦濤比鄰而坐。趙麗雲表示，這麼高規格的對待「前所未有」，以前台灣也沒有領導人被安排坐在奧運主席台上," wrote also Writer 黃筱筠 of the 中時電子報 in Taipei.*5 "趙麗雲也表示，星雲法師在五二○馬英九總統就職典禮上，向她表達過希望將這個榮耀與中華台北奧會代表分享，今天中華台北奧會代表團決議，聘請星雲法師擔任榮譽總顧問，請趙麗雲向星雲法師告知這個訊息。趙麗雲說，既然星雲法師是中華台北奧會的榮譽總顧問，當中華奧會代表團在奧運進場時，星雲法師在主席台上就可以為中華台北奧會的團員加油鼓掌，台灣能見度也可以大大提高."

The climate bill (Climate Security Act) would help Nevada become the global leader in renewable energy production!
... wbti: ***** +++++
By Harry M. Reid

<<< Please join me and other Nevada leaders by signing our petition opposing the license application submittedby the Department of Energy (DOE) for the proposed Yucca Mountain nuclear waste dump.

We will not let the people of Nevada be put at risk by the storage or transportation of the nation's nuclear waste � not now and not ever. I urge you to join me in signing this petition today. >>> *1

Dear Fellow Nevadan,

This week, the Senate is debating the Climate Security Act, the most comprehensive global warming legislation ever to come before Congress.

Most of my Senate colleagues understand that global warming is real and is caused mainly by manmade pollution. We must begin now to greatly reduce our emissions to restore some balance to the global climate system.*2

Global warming is a problem we cannot ignore. As some of you have already experienced directly, the wildfire season in the West is getting longer each year. It is now 78 days longer than it was 30 years ago. These fires are larger and burning longer.

Add to that the severe droughts we are seeing in Nevada. In February, a major study concluded that Lake Mead could go dry by 2021. This would change our way of life, and devastate millions of people.

That抯 the bad news. The good news is that the Climate Security Act would create a new and powerful economic engine. It will slow the impacts of climate change and will make the world habitable for future generations.

The climate bill will create hundreds of thousands � probably millions � of high-paying jobs throughout our country, including thousands in Nevada. It would help Nevada become the global leader in renewable energy production.

Nevada has the energy resources that will make a green economy possible, and our solar and geothermal resources will become even more valuable.

I encourage you to read more about this important issue and contact me with your questions and comments.*3

Senator Harry Reid

Leadership is love through integrity! To lead is to serve, to give, and to achieve together. Love with value is based on a real, practical, and genuine spirit concern for others as persons, for their values as they feel them, for their development and growth.*7

About U. S. Senator Harry Reid:

U. S. Senator Harry M. Reid is the Majority Leader (the Democratic Leader) in the U. S. Senate. He is a man who commands the respect of colleagues from both parties, and a powerful advocate for Nevada’s middle-class families.

But he still lives in Searchlight … and he is still guided by the lessons and values he learned there.
The Las Vegas Sun newspaper summarized Reid’s story by saying that he 　鉮as gone from underdog to Senate’s top dog.　?Parade Magazine, the nation’s largest weekly magazine, identified Senator Reid as one of a handful of leaders in Washington with 　鉯ntegrity and guts.　?
Since Nevadans elected him to the Senate in 1986, Harry Reid has developed a reputation as a consensus builder and a skillful legislator. Even his Republican colleagues praise his reasoned, balanced approach.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) has said, 　鉝e all respect Senator Reid. He is one of the moderate voices around here who tries to get things to work.　?
And former GOP Leader Trent Lott said, 　鉎arry Reid is out there finding a solution. I enjoy working with him very much.　?
He was elected to the Senate in 1986, and re-elected in 1992, 1998 and 2004. He has served as the chairman or senior Democratic member on several important committees and subcommittees.
Reid is a tireless worker, and it isn’t unusual for him to be the first Senator of either party to arrive at the Capitol in the morning and the last to go home at night.

It's our time (www.barackobama.com)
... wbti: ***** +++++
By Barack Obama

**--**
mike --

I'm about to take the stage in St. Paul and announce that we have won the Democratic nomination for President of the United States.*1

It's been a long journey, and we should all pause to thank Hillary Clinton, who made history in this campaign. Our party and our country are better off because of her.

I want to make sure you understand what's ahead of us. Earlier tonight, John McCain outlined a vision of America that's very different from ours -- a vision that continues the disastrous policies of George W. Bush.

But this is our moment. This is our time. Our time to turn the page on the policies of the past and bring new energy and new ideas to the challenges we face. Our time to offer a new direction for the country we love.

It's going to take hard work, but thanks to you and millions of other donors and volunteers, no one has ever been more prepared for such a challenge.

Thank you for everything you've done to get us here. Let's keep making history.*2

Barack

Uniting Alumni from Around the Country
Pepperdine University抯 newly developed Alumni Leadership Council marks the end of its historic first year.
By Jerry Derloshon *3

In an effort to enhance the momentum of recent initiatives supporting alumni, President Andrew K. Benton formed the University抯 new Alumni Leadership Council (ALC) and named Bob Clark (MBA �79, GSBM) from Denver, Colorado, as its head. When all council seats are filled, the ALC will comprise 20 voting members, 13 non-voting members, and 5 adjunct members. In announcing his goals for ALC, Clark cited the need for creating better affinity for alumni across all Pepperdine schools; enhancing career opportunities for alumni, especially at the time of graduation; and bolstering alumni chapters to increase visibility in their regions.

Cathy Kort (M �96, GSEP), executive director of alumni affairs, commends how quickly the new council has come together, and how eager the new and long-term volunteer leaders have been to roll up their sleeves and respond to President Benton抯 call to action. She notes that all four of the council抯 standing committees have completed a review and planning process and that important initiatives have already been completed. Citing two, Kort mentions that the Leadership Development Committee under Deanne Lewis (B �84, SC) has succeeded in developing and implementing an orientation program for alumni leaders. The Awareness and Communications Committee under Brad Starkey (B �88, SC), after a thorough review of two recent surveys, conducted the first of a series of focus groups aimed at securing key information to guide the University with its alumni programming.

The ALC approved its bylaws, underscoring a mission of vital importance to Pepper dine: "To advance the University by developing and strengthening lifelong relationships between the University and its alumni and serve as leaders who fully embrace the University抯 Mission." The organization sees its role as "providing input and counsel to the University through the executive directors of the Annual Fund and Alumni Affairs, and serving as an ambassador for the University regarding alumni affinity, engagement, and involvement." The ALC also emphasizes obtaining broad representation and ensuring that membership is drawn from all five Pepperdine schools, achieving a balance of gender, diversity, and "representation from geographical regions with high concentration of Pepperdine alumni."

ALC抯 executive committee includes four voting members with Clark as president; Robert Katch (B �84, SC; MBA �91, GSBM) as vice president; and positions for the immediate past president and president-elect. Kort sits on the committee as an ex officio voting staff member.

Going forward, several strategic initiatives are underway including gleaning input from alumni, parents, and student leaders at all five schools, as well as regional and chapter leaders on programs and services. In addition, ALC will continue to strengthen the alumni leadership network.

With these goals in mind, ALC members from across the country recently gathered in Malibu for the year抯 final meeting. They were joined by chapter leaders representing eight regions for a luncheon and joint afternoon and evening sessions. Clark presided over the luncheon held at Pepperdine抯 Frederick R. Weisman Museum of Art, which included remarks by Michael Zakian, director of the museum, and Marnie Mitze, then managing director of Pepperdine抯 Center for the Arts.

While in Malibu, council members and chapter leaders toured the campus and heard stories of alumni who have contributed to the history of Pepperdine. Coordinated by the Alumni Affairs Office, the tour celebrated such familiar family names as Booth, Caruso, Frahm, Rokus, Garner, Graziadio, Hahn, Palmer, Payson, and Rockwell. Special stops included Firestone Fieldhouse and the Drescher Graduate Campus. Participants also learned about plans for a future memorial honoring George Pepperdine College alumnus and football star Barney Barnhart (B �50, GPC; see page 26) and the college抯 founder. "Barney抯 Bench" will be cast in bronze and placed in a prominent location near the fountain in Tyler Campus Center and seated upon the bench will be a life-size statue of Mr. George Pepperdine.

"Everyone is very excited about the progress made over the past year," summarizes Kort. "We believe we are entering a new and exciting era at Pepperdine which will foster greater alumni affinity for their alma mater based upon a growing appreciation for the benefits of being connected to a strong and supportive alumni network."

"Preparing students to become educational leaders in their communities is a coenerstone of the Graduate School of Educational and Psychology (GSEP) mission. Reflecting on the history of our graduate school, I am struck by the depth and breadth of educational leaders who have emerged from our programs and flourished in their practice. The rich educational contributions of our faculty, alumni, and students resound in their communities, across the nation, and around the world. Each day, these individuals create opportunities for positive change through their professions," wrote Dean Dr. Margaret J. Weber of the GSEP, Pepperdine University. It was published on the first page of "Pepperdine Colleague" at the Issue of Winter 2008 volume 25, No.2 in Los Angeles, California.*8

Alumni Leadership Council

揙ur beloved Pepperdine is at a major turning point in its history, and the time has come to help the University build a stronger affinity with alumni,� stated Alumni Leadership Council (ALC) President Bob Clark (GSBM '79) during his inaugural address. The ALC was created in 2006 as part of a University-wide initiative set forth by President Andrew K. Benton to 揷all our alumni home.�

The Alumni Leadership Council's role is to be advisors and ambassadors, acting as the voice of alumni to the University and developing an environment of involved, active alumni across the world.

The mission of the ALC "is to advance the University by developing and strengthening life-long relationships between the University and its alumni and serve as leaders who fully embrace the University's mission."

The Council's membership is made up of 20 voiting members and 13 non-voting members to ensure equal representation among Pepperdine's five schools, student leaders, recent graduates, and regional volunteers. Click here for a list of Alumni Leadership Council members.

In its first year, the ALC identified three objectives to guide ALC work through 2008. These include:

Develop trust and respect
Foster affinity for the University
Provide opportunity for life-long engagement.

To succeed in these goals the Council requires members to serve on one of four committees. The Membership Committee acts to fill the ALC roster with quality members; the Information Resource Committee collects information related to alumni programs and endeavors; the Awareness/Communications Committee reaches out to alumni, parents, student leaders, and regional and chapter leaders to listen, build relationships, and assess needs. Finally, the members of the Executive Committee lead ALC business and develop and present formal recommendations to University President Andrew K. Benton.*10
