Imagination may help bring us with beauty, justice, happiness, and creativity!
By Jennifer Kung

To develop immaginative power,
we must specialize in our own fields
but be alert to new ideas from any source
and continually seize and set down our
inspirational flashes
when they come to us.

---Carl Holmes*1

____________________________________________
***** "Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity (dare) of the imagination." ---John Dewey (*From 'The Quest For Certainty'.)

Imagination is important for an individual and institution. It is the ability to perceive opportunity. Imagination may produce creativity. Creativity contributes profit and prosperity for an institution. Where imagination and innovation are encouraged, it floirish. Innovation is doing something different. Innovation comes from people and it requires insight.

We are pleased to quote the following five short but meaningful ones:

*** The most interesting people are the people with the most interesting pictures in their minds. ---Earl Nightingale
*** Imagination is more important than knowledge. ---Albert einstein
*** The human race is governed by its imagination. ---Napoleon
*** Inspiration and imagination go hand in hand. ---Annonymous
*** Every vital organization owes its birth and life to an exciting and daring idea. ---James B. Conant

It's our pleasure to post a short story and quotation from "Speaker's Source Book" by Glenn Van Ekeren:

What is serendipity? It is discovering something totally unrelated to the problem you are trying to solve. Call it an accident, dumb luck, or fate--serendipity has given our world great products, new hope, and better ways of doing things.
Foe example, Columbus discovered America while searching for a route to India. It is said that the American Indians, finding no water for cooking, tapped a maple tree and made the first maple wyrup as the sap boiled down. Pioneers, traveling westward, stopped for water and found gold nuggets in a stream. These are all examples of serendipity.
However, the classic example of serendipity must go to George Ballas. As George Ballas drove his car through a car wash, ... Why not use a nylon cord, whirling at high speed to trim the grass and weeds around trees and the house? Bingo! the Weedeater was born!
... Finally, in 1971, Ballas invested his own money in the first thirty- pound Weedeaster. ...
Before long, Weedeater, Inc., grew into a multimillion-dollar international corporation. Yes, one idea can be worth a fortune. Weedeater, Inc., was born from a simple idea in a car wash. *2

Do you believe Chairman of Apple Computer John Scully said that, "Innovation has never come through bureaucracy and hierarchy. It's always come from individuals"?

"Imagination disposes of everything; it creates beauty, justice, and happiness, which is everything in the world," said Blaise Pascal.*3

Will you be there?
I need you there so we can meet our goals!
By Rory Reid

Dear judy,

We knew at the beginning of this campaign that we could only win if we built a volunteer organization on a scale this state has never seen before.

With hundreds of volunteers now active with the campaign, it is time to bring everyone together to demonstrate the support that Hillary Clinton has across the entire state of Nevada.

In order to celebrate everything that we have achieved and -- more importantly -- plan for the next phase of our campaign, we are convening an Organizing Convention on August 25th at 11:00 a.m.

We would love to have you join us. Click here to have an organizer contact you with details:

http://www.hillaryclinton.com/action/NVConvention/

We are inviting our only our most committed activists to this important event, where you and other volunteers will chart our course to victory. I need you there so we can meet our goals in your neighborhood and make Hillary Clinton our next president -- each person is vital!

This organizing convention will be a working meeting, so we ask that you come ready to plan and fill your schedule for the next couple of months with voter outreach. Our campaign organizers will be presenting our campaign strategy in detail for next phase of the campaign and you will be breaking out into your regional teams to do some in-depth planning about how to reach voters in your neighborhood. Because our agenda consists mostly of planning and scheduling, we ask that you bring your calendar, a pen, and paper and be ready to work.

If youˇre interested in joining us for this event, click here and an organizer will contact you with details:

http://www.hillaryclinton.com/action/NVConvention/

This convention is very important to the success of our campaign in your precinct and in the entire state. I sincerely hope that you can attend. Please click here to receive details from your regional organizer.

I hope to see you on August 25th!

Warmest Regards,

Rory Reid

Dr. Daphne P. Lei is achieving in success and popularity in the academic world of drama!
By Tiffany Chang

***** I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it. ---Stephen Leacock

Dr. Daphne P. Lei will implement a seminar on "Women, Performance, Power" Claire Trevor School of the Arts, University of California-Irvine. It will be one of the programs for FALL 2007 FRESHMAN SEMINARS held by the University. Dr. Daphne Lei, Associate Professor in Drama, specializes Asian and Asian American theatre, intercultural performance, and gender studies.

The other two seminars of the Claire Trevor School will be "So You Want to Be a Star" in Drama by Don Hill and "Art of Collaboration and Consensus Decision Making" in Dance by Lisa Naugle.

"Th 9-9:50 am, Mesa Court Housing Complex, Community Center Classroom

For a map of Mesa Court, please go to http://www.housing.uci.edu/mc/map.asp.," noted the School.*1

FALL 2007 FRESHMAN SEMINARS of the University pointed out that, "What is a woman? How does a woman deal with social injustice and gender discrimination? How should a woman "perform" her role in society? How is her performance related to power? This class will examine the various aspects of women and performance (women as writers, theatrical and non-theatrical performers, dramatic characters), and analyze the significance of gender, power, performance and society." *2

The following is a bio of Dr. Daphne Lei*4 by University of California-Irvine. We may view her photo with this bio on the following website at

http://drama.arts.uci.edu/faculty/lei.html

Ph.D. Tufts University
Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow, Stanford University

"My intellectual interest is the contact zone, where conflicts occur and solutions are sought, where identity is challenged and performed. I focus on intercultural exchanges along the Pacific Rim, especially intersections between Asians and Asian Americans and negotiations between Asian and non-Asian cultures.

"I challenge students to open their minds, to think critically and globally. I have actively participated in the international discourse on performance and have published and given talks on premodern Chinese drama, Asian American theatre, Chinese immigrant theatre and intercultural theatre, both in English and in Chinese. I also serve on the advisory board of Asian American Theatre Company (AATC, San Francisco)."

Dr. Daphne Lei wrote Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) that, "The other thing can be my upcoming book--Operatic China: Staging Chinese Identity Across the Pacific (Palgrave Macmillan, 2006). *5

The description of the above book is that, "A provocative analysis of Chinese opera as experienced and practiced across multiple stages. Unlike traditional scholarship on Chinese opera, Operatic China examines theatrical and paratheatrical performance, theatre critique, ethnographic writings, local histories, and theories of performance, interculturalism, and transnationalism." *6

***** Life is meant to be a never-ending education, and when this is fully appreciated, we are no longer survivors but adventurers. ---David McNally, Even Eagles Need a Push

The originality of this article was published in this section on August 5, 2007.*1 The Advisory Board and faculty members join with President Dr. Tony Lei of WBTI in mourning its Chairperson Elaine Chao's mother Mrs. Ruth Chu Chao and praying for her and the family heartfeltly.

"Dear Dr. Lei, Very sorry to hear the sad news. I made a few grammatical and spelling changes below. Hope this helps. Sincerely, Judge Moss," wrote Nevada District Court Judge Cheryl Moss to Washington Business and Technology Intstitute (WBTI) early in the morning on August 7, 2007 (Tue, 7 Aug 2007 05:58:44 -0700) in Las Vegas, Nevada.*2

Judy and Tony were very sad to learn yesterday (8/04/07) evening that U. S. Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao's mother Mrs. Ruth Mu-lan Chu Chao passed away in the afternoon on August 2, 2007. President George Bush called Elaine's family twice. In comforting, George reminded her father Dr. James S. C. Chao, Chairman of Foremost Group that, "Elaine is the one who serves the longest time as a Secretary of U. S. Department."

According to Elaine's mouring message to the passing of her mother, she respects her mother Ruth as "a noble and eternal wife, a selfless and offering mother, a philanthropist full of love, and an Asian culture scholar."

"From the difficult years after mariage to raise several daughters, thorugh her courage, diligence, and accomplishment to receive her master degree, until the development and prosperity of their family, U. S. Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao's mother Mrs. Ruth Mu-lan Chu Chao had a life of success. Ruth was a successful family educator and an achieved Asian culture scholar. 'Like mother, like daughter.' Ealine's wisdom, inguinty, and achievement as a leading Asian American public charater have been derived from her mother's heartily love and offering influence. Judy and I were mourning and praying for Elaine's mother Ruth heartfeltly. Our sincere hearts and prayers go out also to James, Elaine, Mitch (Elaine's husband, The Honorable Mitch McConnell, U. S. Senate Minority Leader), Jeannette, May, Christine, Grace, Angela, the family, and their friends," wrote President Dr. Tony Lei of WBTI a mourning and praying e-mail to Chairperson Elaine Chao in the early morning on August 5, 2007, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

"朱木蘭在1961年帶著趙小蘭等三名幼女自台灣乘輪船來美,與當時在紐約求學的趙錫成團聚,展開在美國的新生活。趙小蘭最念念不忘的就是在父母親帶領下走過移民來美初時的種種辛酸歡悅,趙錫成與朱木蘭在「新的國家,語言不通、文化不同、習慣各異,甚至連食物也感陌生」的情況下,教養六個女兒,個個傑出有成。朱木蘭在女兒們都獨立長大後,51歲時攻讀文學碩士,完成早年因戰亂而無法求學獲取新知的心願。朱木蘭言教身教給女兒們留下莫大的資產,她曾說「教育是給女兒最好的嫁妝」," reported by Reporter 魏碧洲 of World Journal in New York. The report "趙小蘭母親朱木蘭病逝" was posted on the '超人氣 News' of the Worldjournal.com. on August 4, 2007.*3

"Vision seems to be an elusive yet import life principle. Your vision describes the ideal future for you to attain. It provides meaning and direction while forcing you to break through present limitations. Holding a clear picture in your mind of the desired future will mobilize your creative efforts and generate the desire and energy to perform," edited Glenn Ekeren in his book.*4 The bright vision and offering love extended from Ruth to her children had built a sound foundation for the outstanding accomplishments in each of their special professionalism.

The following were some information from the report "美國勞工部長趙小蘭母親去世 親擬悼詞頌其恩德" by 記者邱江波 in 華盛頓 at 8月3日. The news was posted on 央視國際 www.cctv.com on 2007年08月04日 at 14:06:

"趙母與疾病頑強搏鬥,積極樂觀地面對病魔。在人生的最後關頭,她用堅強與從容迎接了生命最嚴峻的考驗。在美國布希政府中擔任行政職務最高的這位華裔女部長,不僅受到廣大美籍華人的尊重,而且其賢惠精明的東方女性風采,也得到了布希內閣和美國各階層人士的欣賞。趙小蘭的人緣很好,有人說,這是因為她受到了良好的家庭東方文化熏陶。而趙小蘭說,這一切都是她的父母賜予的。趙小蘭的母親素來支援婦女獨立自強,她言傳身教,成為兒女們最好的榜樣。趙小蘭說,她的母親不僅給予兒女珍貴的生命,更給予了他們追求高欣硐氲木褙敻?" reported the reporter 邱江波.*5

"Six essential qualities that are keys to success: Sincerity, Personal Integrity, Humility, Courtesy, Wisdom, Charity, " quoted Dr. William Menninger. Ruth owned each and every of these personal traits. In facing and conquering difficulties and obstacles, her 'persistense' and "passion"*6 in A.Q.*7 had played an important role to empowered her in the road to success.

"母親像外婆一樣也有驚人之舉,她51歲時決定重返校園,攻讀亞洲文學和歷史碩士學位。她要完善自己的人生價值,以償多年的宿願。我們當時對母親此舉並不十分理解,心疼地告訴她沒有必要再那麼辛苦地承受壓力。但對母親的執著和毅力,學而不倦的精神都倍加讚賞,全家當然鼎力支持,為了恩回饋社會,母親早於1984年中國改革開放初期即捐贈了「木蘭基金會」,後在2006年11月正式更名登記批准為「上海木蘭教育基金會」,為獎勵、支持、資助教育事業及其優秀師生,為中國的教育事業盡綿薄之力。我們陪伴母親在庭院閒談漫步,@裏是我們最熟悉的地方。今年的春天如此羞澀,姍姍來遲,滿園金燦燦的迎春花千呼萬喚始出來。春風和煦,陽光明媚,櫻花怒放,竹林青翠,家門前那三棵與我們一起長大的塔松已枝葉茂盛,挺拔參天。家園依舊是我們歇息的港灣,依舊是我們心中的最愛。 " wrote Elaine L. Chao. The article entitled "《專題1》平凡與偉大─獻給母親朱木蘭" was written by her (趙小蘭). It was posted through the courtesy of the "母親節專題" of Worldjournal.com to the "Elaine Chao, U. S.

"Thank you," wrote Nevada Supreme Court Justice Michael Douglas to WBTI.*9 Enjoying with general popularity, the achieved intellectual has been many years our good friend to participate and contribute the mutual cooperation and development for Asian and American endeavors. "One of the most important integrity and work of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) to our people, high-ranking officials, and communities is its many feature articles posted by publications through the leading search engines promptly. As an Associate Professor of the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration of WBTI, it's my hornor to join its Professor of Administrative Strategies U. S. Senator Harry Reid (now the Majority Leader of U. S. Senate) and its Chairperson Elaine Chao, U. S. Secretary of Labor, to endeavor and help the promotion of benifits and quality of lives for our people, community, and country."

Elaine said that her mother was good in writing. The following was an literary article written by Ruth when she was very young. With its nice description, the article was published by the School Periodical at her elementary school year: "我從小就愛雨天———霏霏的細雨與傾盆大雨覺得一樣的可愛。連綿的春雨,狂暴的夏雨,瀟瀟的秋雨和摻著飛雪的冬雨。冬有冬的姿態也同樣覺得可愛,並不是因為有什麼逸致與雅興,而是為有晴天就應該有雨天,雨天對晴天是一種調節。雨天雖然有許多情趣,如果您是流浪異鄉或困頓逆旅的遊子或多愁善感的人,那麼,這婀娜的雨絲非但不能給你心底的安寧,反而會使人增加一份愁上愁。因此,有人歌頌雨,也有人咒罵雨。不過雨天究竟是值得歌頌的,它能平復你心頭的煩悶,增添意境和情趣。更重要的是它能象徵著晴朗的將來,所謂雨過天晴,猶似黑暗象徵光明蒞臨一樣。---朱木蘭." *10

We are humble, but we are encouraged. Thanks. Searching the leading search engines from early morning yesterday until now, we could find that this feature article by WBTI through the communitylink of Las Vegas Review-Journal is the first one on the most recent news about U. S. Secretary Elaine Chao's mother in English appeared on the Internet.

"她以驚人的魄力,虔誠的信仰,毫不畏縮地面對各種挑戰,走完一段完美娜松?母親是我們這個大家庭快樂的源泉,堅姷尼岫堋N覀兡墼谒闹車S著她披荊斬棘,勇往直前,一步一個腳印地走向成功, 努力創造更美好的明天。 她一生敬虔愛神、愛人、愛家庭,對社會默默地奉獻,鞠躬盡瘁,死而後已。我們從中感受到了心靈的震撼,這是人生價值的崇高境界,是平凡與偉大的最完美的結合!" pointed out U. S. Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao on her mourning message in Chinese.*11

Your kind thoughts and prayers are appreciated and may send to the Secretary of U. S. Department of Labor in Washington, D.C. or Dr. James S. C. Chao, Chairman of Foremost Group in New York, as reminded by Elaine.

Wish the soul of Ruth in heaven is respectfuly mourned and the family of her survived ones are highly blessed! The elegant funeral ceremony was in good planning and implementing.

"我們在此真誠地感謝在這段非常時期裡給予我們愛心與幫助的所有親友們," wrote the Secretary of U. S. Department of Labor (美國勞工部長趙小蘭).*12

"Every memorable act in the history of the world is a triumph of enthusiasm. Nothing great was ever achieved without it because it gives any challenge or any occupation, no matter how frightening or difficult, a new meaning. Without enthusiasm you are doomed to a life of mediocrity but with it you can accomplish miracles." ---Og Mandino (1923-1996, Speaker and Author)*13

"Dear Dr. and Mrs. Lei: Since I shall be in Washington, D.C., I believe that I shall be constantly reminded of the ideals that are the subject of the messages and quotations contained in your correspondence, particularly those about vision, enthusiasm, and assistance," wrote Nevada District Judge Mark R. Denton to President Dr. Tony T. Lei of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) and his wife Judy on June 18, 2007 in Las Vegas, Nevada.*14

"I hope that you are both doing well and that you will enjoy the upcoming event and keep me informed about your excellent projects. Thank you so much for thinking of me and keeping me posted. Very truly yours, Mark R. Denton."

BORDER SECURITY
I will travel (next week) to Mexico to meet with President Calder's and other Mexican officials to discuss border security, as well as trade and tourism!
By James A. Gibbons

Thursday, I flew to the Mexican border near San Diego to meet with members of the Nevada National Guard who are assisting the federal government in securing the border. More than two hundred Nevadans are currently involved in the Guard抯 border efforts.

My service in Congress led me to be acutely aware of the importance of secure borders. When I helped write the legislation which became the basis for the Homeland Security Act, creating the Department of Homeland Security, I knew that national security begins with border security. In Congress, I supported numerous federal efforts to fortify entryways into America. Yet those borders remain porous.

This week, Border Patrol agents showed me some examples of the 1,600 authentic-looking fake passports they have confiscated over the past nine months. They belonged to people who were trying to get through established checkpoints. No one knows how many people illegally entered our country through openings in the desert.

The men and women of the Nevada National Guard are working very hard to help protect our borders. They are building fences and other infrastructure to make illegal border crossings tougher. At the same time, their work helps free Border Patrol agents to be the law enforcement officers they are intended to be, giving them more time to actually patrol the border.

I am proud of the work Nevada Guard members are doing to make our nation safe against illegal entry. Next week, I will travel to Mexico to meet with President Calder髇 and other Mexican officials to discuss border security, as well as trade and tourism. We will also talk about stemming the flow of illegal drugs, particularly methamphetamine, into this country. Within the following weeks, I will also meet with Arizona Governor Napolitano to discuss border security issues and illegal drug trafficking.

Nevada抯 security depends partly upon border security. I salute the men and women of the Nevada National Guard for serving their state as well as their nation through their work along.
[An e-mail from Office of the Governor to WBTI at (Fri, 10 Aug 2007 14:46:29 -0700) on August 10, 2007.]

Helping Nevada's students improve in math and science
I am also very pleased to announce the President has agreed to sign this bill (America COMPETES Act) on Thursday!
By Harry M. Reid*1

Dear Friends,

As Nevada's students and teachers prepare to go back to school, I'm working to make sure they have the tools to be successful.*2

I introduced and led the passage of the America Creating Opportunities to Meaningfully Promote Excellence in Technology, Education, and Science Act (America COMPETES Act). I am also very pleased to announce the President has agreed to sign this bill on Thursday.

The America COMPETES Act ensures that our country will retain its competitive position in the world through improvements to math and science education and a strong commitment to research and technology.

The Act follows through on my commitment to ensure Nevada's students, teachers, businesses and workers are prepared to continue leading the world in innovation, research, and technology -- well into the future.

It is essential that our students and teachers have the resources to be successful and this bill will help us achieve that.*3

Best regards,

Senator Harry Reid

*1. About U. S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid: U. S. Senator Harry M. Reid is the Democratic Leader (the Majority 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.

U. S. Senator John Kerry, former U. S. Vice President Al Gore, Nevada, and WBTI by the leading search engines on Internet!
By Jennifer Kung

***** "A book is a success when people who haven't read it pretend they have." --- Los Angeles Times Syndicate

U. S. Senator John Kerry wrote us several times recently. The most significant feature article for him in this section was published on June 3, 2007. It was "Our Moment -- Our Movement! Together, we can create a better tomorrow for our Earth if we seize this vital moment" by former U. S. Vice President Al Gore.*1 We are suprised to receive the following press release from his office since it is especially for people in Henderson and Las Vegas:

[[[ We're making progress in our fight to get a new direction in Iraq, but we need more Republicans to support a true change in policy. People like Jon Porter need to know that we won't stand for his continued support for escalation without end in Iraq.

So I thought I'd write and let you know about efforts in Henderson put on by some of our friends from Americans Against the Escalation in Iraq. If you have some time tomorrow and will be in Henderson (or can get there!), please consider helping them out. Let Jon Porter know how important this issue will be in your vote next year.

Here's the information on the events:

Congressman Jon Porter to "Feel the Heat" for Iraq Stance at Welcome Home Rally
Outraged constituents to greet Porter as he Returns to Nevada for August Recess
Who: Las Vegas Out of Iraq Coalition, Concerned Citizens, and Americans Against Escalation in Iraq
What: Welcome Home Rally for Rep. Jon Porter
Where: Congressman Jon Porter's Office
~{`.`.`.`.`.~} 2470 St. Rose Pkwy
~{`.`.`.`.`.~} Henderson, NV 89074
When: Wed, August 8, 2007 @ 10:00 a.m.

I'm encouraged by some of the developments recently; we're changing the debate on the war. But we've still got to get votes for a real change in policy from folks like Jon Porter We need to demand action.

Thanks,

Brian

"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. A successful leader is consistently follwed by others. People follow because they have a belief in the direction, intergrity, and competence of the one leading. A leader's ultimate responsibility is to facilitate other individual's development as well as his (or her) own.

The memory and floral tributes to U. S. Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao's mother Mrs. Ruth Mu-lan Chu Chao
By Cheryl Moss, and Tiffany Chang

The original article was published in this section on August 5, 2007.*8

"Dear Dr. Lei, Very sorry to hear the sad news. I made a few grammatical and spelling changes below. Hope this helps. Sincerely, Judge Moss," wrote Nevada District Court Judge Cheryl Moss to Washington Business and Technology Intstitute (WBTI) early in the morning on August 7, 2007 (Tue, 7 Aug 2007 05:58:44 -0700) in Las Vegas, Nevada.*9

***** Life is meant to be a never-ending education, and when this is fully appreciated, we are no longer survivors but adventurers. ---David McNally, Even Eagles Need a Push

Judy and Tony were very sad to learn yesterday evening that U. S. Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao's mother Mrs. Ruth Mu-lan Chu Chao passed away in the afternoon on August 2, 2007. President George Bush called Elaine's family twice. In comforting, George reminded her father Dr. James S. C. Chao, Chairman of Foremost Group that, "Elaine is the one who serves the longest time as a Secretary of U. S. Department."

Elaine respects her mother Ruth as "a noble and eternal wife, a selfless and offering mother, a philanthropist full of love, and an Asian culture scholar." (From Elaine's mouring paragraph to her mother.)

"From the difficult years after mariage to raise several daughters, thorugh her courage, diligence, and accomplishment to receive her master degree, until the development and prosperity of their family, U. S. Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao's mother Mrs. Ruth Mu-lan Chu Chao had a life of success. Ruth was a successful family educator and an achieved Asian culture scholar. 'Like mother, like daughter.' Ealine's wisdom, inguinty, and achievement as a leading Asian American public charater have been derived from her mother's heartily love and offering influence. Judy and I were mourning and praying for Elaine's mother Ruth heartfeltly. Our sincere heart and prayers go out also to James, Elaine, U. S. Senator Mitch McConnell, Xiao-mei, Xiao-pu, Xiao-ting, Angela, the family, and their friends," wrote President Dr. Tony Lei of WBTI a mourning and praying e-mail to Chairperson Elaine Chao in the early morning on August 5, 2007, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

"朱木蘭...," reported by Reporter www of World Journal in New York. The report "..." was posted on the '.. News' of the Worldjournal.com. on August 4, 2007.*1

"Vision seems to be an elusive yet import life principle. Your vision describes the ideal future for you to attain. It provides meaning and direction while forcing you to break through present limitations. Holding a clear picture in your mind of the desired future will mobilize your creative efforts and generate the desire and energy to perform," edited Glenn Ekeren in his book.*2 The bright vision and offering love extended from Ruth to her children had built a sound foundation for the outstanding accomplishments in each of their special professionalism.

The following were some information from the report "..." by ccc in .. at 8..3... The news was posted on ... www.cctv.com on 2007..08..04.. at 14:06:

"趙母...," reported the reporter ccc.*3

"Six essential qualities that are keys to success: Sincerity, Personal Integrity, Humility, Courtesy, Wisdom, Charity, " quoted Dr. William Menninger. Ruth owned each and every of these personal traits. In facing and conquering difficulties and obstacles, her 'persistense' and "passion"*4 in A.Q.*5 had played an important role to empowered her in the road to success.

"母親..." wrote Elaine L. Chao. The article entitled "..." was written by her (eee). It was posted through the courtesy of the "..." of Worldjournal.com to the "Elaine Chao, U. S. Secretary of Labor" at http://communitylink.reviewjournal.com/lvrj/wbti
.*6

Elaine said that her mother was good in writing. The following was an literary article written by Ruth when she was very young. With its nice description, the article was published by the School Periodical at her elementary school year: "我從小..." *7

We are humble, but we are encouraged. Thanks. Searching the leading search engines from early morning yesterday until now, we could find that this feature article by WBTI through the communitylink of Las Vegas Review-Journal is the first one on the most recent news about U. S. Secretary Elaine Chao's mother in English appeared on the Internet.

Your kind thoughts and prayers are appreciated and may send to the Secretary of U. S. Department of Labor in Washington, D.C. or Dr. James S. C. Chao, Chairman of Foremost Group in New York, as reminded by Elaine.

Wish the soul of Ruth in heaven is respectfuly mourned, the family of her survived ones are highly blessed, and the elegant funeral ceremony is in good planning!
