The Dean's Executive Leadership Series at the Graziadio School of Business and Management is proud to present

Dan Carrison
Author, Business Under Fire

In the post 9/11 world, businesses are challenged by much more than economic downturns.

He will share lessons learned from interviews with dozens of Israeli executives -- including the director of the Israel Ministry of Tourism and the president of El Al Israel Airlines - on how business are effectively rethinking their marketing and operational strategies.

Join Dean Linda A. Livingstone and fellow Graziadio alumni, faculty, and friends for a look at global business under fire.

CARSON CITY – Gov. Kenny Guinn today released the following statement regarding a proposal by the Bush Administration to divert profits from the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act from the State of Nevada:

“I want to make it clear that I am strongly opposed to the federal government taking funds away from the state,” Gov. Guinn said of a proposal in President George W. Bush’s budget that would divert a large percentage of Southern Nevada land sale profits from Nevada and into the U.S. Treasury. “I am in agreement with our congressional delegation that this must not be allowed to happen. The State of Nevada has had a good working relationship with the Bush Administration on a number of important public lands issues, but on this particular issue, I am solidly with our delegation to stop this diversion of funding that Nevada not only needs, but is entitled to.

“This is an issue of critical importance to the future of our state. I will be working closely with leaders from the Western Governors Association, which typically deals with public lands issues, and in addition I plan on making personal contact with the Bush Administration, and especially Secretary of the Interior Gale Norton, to tell them that this proposal is not good for the people of Nevada.”

JOHN L. SMITH: Oscar night: When many can only guess who will be judged the best

We gathered around the television Sunday evening in Phoenix to watch the beautiful people of Hollywood convene for the Academy Awards.

We'd never done that before, and so we felt underdressed with all the celebrities in tuxes and gowns and the Smiths in their sweatpants and socks.

Right away I knew something else was amiss.

The culprit wasn't the show's unusually tame host, Chris Rock. Maybe it was the SWAT team standing by to slam the five-second delay button, but Rock seemed shy compared to his sizzling, late-night comic persona.

Nor was it the fact the program ran longer than a Super Bowl broadcast. A champion marathoner would have finished the race a full hour ahead of the Oscars. But the world loves movie stars almost as much as they love themselves.

Few things are as important in Hollywood as awards shows, and somehow the Academy Awards manages to heap even more celebrity stardust on people who already enjoy more face recognition than most heads of state. A three-hour broadcast was barely enough time for each to taste a drop from the champagne magnum of adulation.

I knew something was wrong when I learned the list of nominees in the "Best Picture" category.

They weren't movies I'd seen.

Not one.

Not even close.

Talk about feeling like the only disco dancer in the mosh pit of life. Talk about feeling like the only guy in town without Paris Hilton's phone number.

I felt as if I were watching the awards show from another country, one that barely spoke our language.

Then it dawned on me. Suddenly, everything was clear.

Major Academy Awards aren't given to movies watched by adults with children.

Oscars are generally awarded to movies seen by singles or couples. We're not a couple. We're a triple.

A happy triple. A proud triple. But not a couple.

And that means we were out of luck come awards night.

We've been busy the past few months seeking medical treatment for daughter Amelia and have spent most of our time in Phoenix, but lately she's been healthy enough to get out and enjoy trips to the movies -- age appropriate movies. We've seen a lot of them.

Alas, none of those scored as much as an honorable mention in the major Oscar categories on Sunday.

That's partly understandable. While some children's movies are actually entertaining to children, they often are as mind-numbing to adults as an anvil dropped from a high place and a mallet to the forehead.

Hollywood has little time for parents-with-children movies. Apparently, that's why DVDs were invented, so adults with children could eventually catch up on year-old movies.

This isn't a diatribe on Hollywood values, nothing of the sort. It's merely a reality check from the grandstands of adulthood.

As for morality, I don't care whether Jen loves Brad or Leonardo dates Lou Ferrigno. If "Sideways" got robbed or Don Cheadle is the next Brando doesn't change the fact we're stuck trying to find meaningful plot twists in the "The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie" and wondering at length whether it was superior to the TV show. (Smith family consensus: Bob should stick to the small screen.)

When "The Motorcycle Diaries" premiered, I initially misread it as "The Mouse and the Motorcycle Diaries" and thought it was the story of a small rodent who rides a toy Harley and wears half a ping pong ball for a helmet.

As we listened Sunday to the presenters hand out awards, I hoped "Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events" would win by a surprise knock out over Clint Eastwood or "The Incredibles" might nip "The Aviator" at the wire. But it was not to be.

So we sat like collies trying to read calculus books, only pretending to understand what the heck was going on.

While we've heard "Million Dollar Baby" has a surprise ending, we know how close "Fat Albert" and the Cosby kids came to getting shut out of the world of '70s animation and stuck in new century reality. (Suffice to say the answer is really, really close.)

From our seats in the grandstands, it's unfair to present the Academy Awards before the nominees have been out six months on DVD.

CARSON CITY – Gov. Kenny Guinn today announced the appointment of David Brady to the Douglas County Commission. Brady replaces longtime Douglas County commissioner Jacques Etchegoyhen, who resigned earlier this month.

“David Brady has broad-based experience in a number of important areas that I feel will serve him well as a member of the Douglas County Commission,” Gov. Guinn said. “As a former school board member and president of that board, David knows how to deal with complex issues that affect the lives of all the residents of Douglas County. He will make an outstanding county commissioner for the people of Douglas County.”

Brady, 49, has been managing principal at Brady & Associates in Minden since May 1998. His extensive background in financial planning in the state dates back 20 years. Brady’s community service has included Douglas County School Board Trustees, 1995-2004, and Douglas County Parks & Recreation Board of Commissioners, 1998-2004. He has also served as a reserve deputy sheriff with Douglas County since 1999.

“I welcome the opportunity to continue to serve this community,” Brady said. “I am grateful to Gov. Guinn for the appointment.”

Brady, of Minden, received his master’s of public administration from the University of Southern California in 1981 and his bachelor of science degree in public affairs from the University of Southern California in 1977.

Brady is married and has five children.

CARSON CITY – Gov. Kenny Guinn today announced that the State of Nevada has received federal funding that will enable more than $400,000 of enhancements to occur at state and community parks.

The funding comes from Land and Water Conservation Fund grant awards from the National Park Service totaling about $1.2 million. About half of the funding will go to Nevada state parks, while the other half will be earmarked to various communities for their local parks.

Included in the grant award is funding for two projects in rural Nevada. Federal funding of about $150,000 will made available for a $300,000 campground development project at Kershaw Ryan State Park in Lincoln County. Additionally, about $47,000 of a $122,000 project for Churchill County multi-use park development will help install lighting for a multi-use sports field within Churchill County Regional Park.

“I’m pleased that rural Nevada is continuing to expand the recreational amenities available to our citizens,” Gov. Guinn said. “This latest round of grant funding will enable citizens from throughout the state, as well as our visitors from out of state, to more fully enjoy our rural recreational areas.”

> I wish I knew this several years ago when a friend was having a stroke at a clubhouse function and I didn't recognize it; just that something was wrong and did get a resident doctor in the hall and made other people aware, but unfortunately her husband listened to her and didn't get her to the hospital for a couple hours. Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

*Ask the individual to smile.
*Ask him or her to raise both arms.
*Ask the person to speak a simple sentence.

If he or she has trouble with any of these tasks, call 9-1-1 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. After discovering that a group of non-medical volunteers could identify facial weakness, arm weakness and speech problems, researchers urged the general public to learn the three questions. They presented their conclusions at the American Stroke Association's annual meeting last February.
Widespread use of this test could result in prompt diagnosis and treatment of the stroke and prevent brain damage.

It is true of all countries that the role of government has grown in the recent years. The state has no longer limited, as in the past years, largely to maintaining internal order and external defense, providing a minimum of basic services, and raising taxation to pay for these activities. Many governments of the developed countries have expanded for a wide variety of reasons: economic recession, war, social justice, help for underpriviledged, protection of minority rights, demand for the redistribution of income or wealth, and the ideas of social reformers.

"States are now concerned with a mix of policies concerning social welfare, ecnomic management, and protection of the environment. A substantial part of government budgets is spend on defense, either directly on the armed forces and weaponry or indirectly on research and the development of technology. But spending on social services is now the largest item in many budgets and continues to grow as people live longer and more is spend on pensions and hospitals." *1

"In all states --- whether liberal, socialist, conservative, or communist --- there is some economic planning, though to considerably different degrees. Attempts are made to stimulate economic growth, to increase employment, to check inflation, to get favorable balance of trade with foreign countires, and to regulate industry and other economic activities, from mining coal to making cigaretes. Governments have recently become increasing aware of ecological and aesthetic issues and of the need to improve the quality of life in their countires." *2

Outer space contains a wealth of mineral matter in planets and asteroids, but can we send space ships up and haul back the riches at the present time? The ocean is a vast resource of minerals, many of which are dissolved in the water itself. However, the concentrations of most dissolved minerals are generally too low to be of economic importance.

"In the short run, strategic supplies can help us weather sudden embargoes. That problem seems well taken care of. In the long run, however, the outlook is mix. Some mineral supplies are adequate for many years to come, even at an increase rate of use. But other important minerals, for which no known substitutes exist, are fast on the decline. Gold, mercury, and silver are examples of such minerals. Something must be done, and done quickly, to bridge the gap." *3

For this and related reasons, the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) is pleased to have me post the Governor Kenny C. Guinn's Press Release on February 25, 2004 from the Office of Governor as in the following:

GOVERNOR THANKS DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR FOR PHOENIX SUPPORT*4

CARSON CITY - Gov. Kenny Guinn*5 today expressed thanks to Secretary of the Interior Gale Norton for her support of a mining project in Battle Mountain that will mean 250 long-term jobs for that area.

Newmont Mining Corporation's Phoenix Project has received a Record of Decision by the Department of the Interior, which is the final action for the project's approval. The project expands Newmont/Battle Mountain's gold mining operations in the vicinity of Battle Mountain, creating 250 high-paying jobs and generating tax revenues for Nevada and Lander County. The project has an estimated operational life of 28 years, followed by five years of reclamation. In addition, Newmont will engage in reclamation efforts of a nearby old copper mine.

"Secretary Norton and President Bush continue to show strong support for issues that are of importance to our state, in this case the delicate balance between maintaining the mining economy and looking out for the environment," Gov. Guinn said.*5 "Creating more jobs in rural Nevada has always been a top priority, and this project will prove to be of great benefit to our state. The proposed plan contains strong clean-up and reclamation actions of extensive historic mining activity in the area, which will further enhance our efforts in maintaining the unique environmental character of rural Nevada."

The sunshine was beautiful. That was a day quite near to the end of Lunar 2004 and before the Lunar (Chinese) New Year. Miss Sue Phelps, President of Las Vegas Taiwanese Association, held a dinner party at the Cathay House Chinese Cuisine, Las Vegas on February 2, 2005. The guests, who were invited by her, included Dr. Tony Lei, Miss Noni Rybka, Ms. Mindy Gao, Mr. Gin-sheng Hsu, Miss Sophie Ideker, Mrs. Judy Lei, and Miss Grace Ma.

During the party, Sue had a foresighted perspective on the coming Annual National Taiwanese Association Convention in the United States. To the successful implementation of the annual convention, Sue is expecting that Dr. Tony Lei may invite many special guests of Nevada to attend. She also emphasized the importance of the event on free Kids Sightfirst Campaign under the cooperation between Las Vegas Taiwanese Association and Las Vegas International Lions Club.

On Wednesday, I announced an agreement with the leadership of the Nevada Legislature to reallocate funds in the state’s budget to ensure the life of the Millennium Scholarship program through at least 2020, and perhaps longer. Under the agreement, record-setting revenues generated by the state, coupled with reallocation in several budgetary areas as well as money from abandoned property, have created new monies that will be appropriated for the Millennium Scholarship. The plan guarantees that up to $48 million during this biennium will be infused into the program.
This is great news for the people of Nevada. My top priority will always be the preservation of the Millennium Scholarship, which has been wonderfully successful since its inception in 1999. Through this college scholarship program, a new generation of young people are becoming the first members of their families to ever attend college. This has created record-setting enrollments in our system of higher education. In addition, the state is well on its way to creating an educated workforce and a more diversified, knowledge-based economy. This year, about 18,000 students are using the scholarship, and more than 40,000 students have qualified for the program since its inception in 1999.

Wednesday’s announcement would not have been possible without the cooperation and teamwork shown by Senate Majority Leader Bill Raggio, Assembly Speaker Richard Perkins, Senate Minority Leader Dina Titus and Assembly Minority Leader Lynn Hettrick. All four leaders worked in a bipartisan and collegial manner to ensure that a long-term solution for the program’s solvency was found.

Since we have now reached agreement on this pressing issue, this will allow lawmakers more time to work on other critical matters such as property tax relief. I have personally attended several hearings in the Legislature over the past few days, and I have been very impressed on how focused the legislators have been in completing their duties. I am looking forward to working with my colleagues in the Legislature as we continue to look for the best property tax relief for our fellow citizens.

U. S. Congresswoman Shelley Berkley bill raises vets' burial benefit
STEPHENS WASHINGTON BUREAU

Shelley Berkley (Photo.)

WASHINGTON -- A bill Rep. Shelley Berkley introduced Wednesday in Congress would boost burial benefits for military veterans and keep payments on pace with inflation.

Government benefits have eroded over years, with families facing larger shares of out-of-pocket costs for funerals and cemetery fees, said Berkley, D-Nev.

The bill would raise burial benefits from $2,000 to $4,100 for those who die of service-related disabilities. Benefits for veterans with nonservice-connected disabilities would go from $200 to $1,270. Burial plot allowances would increase through the legislation, with all the benefits adjusted annually for inflation.

"It has been more than 25 years since the last increase in burial benefits for those veterans without a service-connected disability, and today the funds provided cover only 6 percent of the average burial cost," Berkley said in a statement. "We can end this erosion in benefits once and for all."

Berkley, a member of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, last week was named the ranking Democrat on the disability and memorial affairs subcommittee that will review the bill.
