OUR MEMBERS
Members of the consortium include
academics from various District of
Columbia universities, researchers,
early care and education providers,
early education advocates, and other
individuals who share the consor-
tium’s mission. Consortium members
believe that all key stakeholders in
the early care and education com-
munity have an obligation to work to
enhance the delivery of high quality
early care and education to all of the
District of Columbia’s children.
rm ebem
OUR GOALS
• to provide objective, empirical, research
data on early care and education issues
that can guide the development and
provision of these needed services in
the District of Columbia
• to disseminate research data to key gov-
ernment personnel and policy makes so
that research data will become an im-
portant component that informs policy
debates and governmental decisions
• to increase public awareness of the
value of early care and education
programs and their ability to enhance
children’s educational experiences
throughout their academic careers
• to increase communication and build
cooperative, collaborative relationships
among the myriad agencies and entities
providing early care and education in
the District of Columbia
• to participate in research efforts to
make the early care and education
systems in the District of Columbia a
seamless, world class system
OUR NEEDS
The needs of the consortium are twofold.
First, we need to involve all the stakehold-
ers that are key to the delivery of excellent
early care and education services in the
District of Columbia in the activities of the
consortium. These stakeholders include
parents, providers, researchers, academics,
students, trainers, government officials,
businesspersons, community leaders and
members of the philanthropic commu-
nity. Second, the consortium also needs
to develop joint funding opportunities
and participate in collaborative research
endeavors with other organizations work-
ing to improve early care and education in
the District of Columbia.

A Passion for Travel
Simply put, IgoUgo interactive communities help
consumers indulge an interest in travel. The leading
online travel community, IgoUgo won the prestigious
2004 Webby Award for “Best Travel Site in the U.S.”
and has been lauded by publications like the Wall Street
Journal—all for its ability to create an amazing travel
resource out of the experiences of everyday travelers.
But what can IgoUgo offer you? Marketing possibilities
galore. By coupling inspiring personal experiences with
the technology to allow for person-to-person interaction,
IgoUgo has created a powerful new marketing tool with
trust and personalization built into the mix.
It’s been proven time and time again that the enthusiasm
and interaction of like-minded peers can influence their
decisions considerably. In fact, groups of people with
common interests—also called “emotive networks”—
represent the most compelling online pull marketing in
existence today.
IgoUgo communities leverage the experiences of everyday
travelers to motivate others. Instead of seeing untargeted
traffic, you can create loyal timeshare enthusiasts. The
human aspect of networking also serves as a key
differentiator for sales.
Experienced Internet consumers consider user reviews
to be the most credible source of information around.
Surrounding a product with the poignant chronicles of
real people, for example, can increase transaction rates
by more than 10%.
On IgoUgo, you’ll find more than 80,000 timeshare
reviews written by avid travelers—not to mention a
massive amount of related travel content. And IgoUgo
has a history of working with some of the largest
timeshare companies in the business to showcase the
fantastic vacation experiences of timeshare owners
around the world.
Imagine surrounding your product descriptions with
real reviews such as:
In the world of marketing, knowledge is power. And
knowing about the preferences and past experiences of
potential customers will allow you to market your products
better. Interested in reaching out to older members?
People who take a beach vacation every year? No problem.
IgoUgo uses sophisticated technology to collect the
information you need to segment and sub-segment your
audience, delivering just the right message to just the
right people.
IgoUgo’s Community Solutions can open up a whole
spectrum of new revenue possibilities. We invite you to

The Grand Case Beach Club was great. The staff
was very outgoing and friendly; in fact, many an
evening they would just hand us bottles of home-
made rum if we were hanging out at the bar and
never charge us. They were quite proud of the local
liquor!! Our room was on the lower floor, with a
lantern-lit patio and sliding door into the gardens,
TV, telephone, fridge, safe, oven, big bathroom,
huge bedroom, and pretty Caribbean decor. There
was a pool and lit tennis courts. The property was
gated, but you didn’t feel like it needed to be, as
everywhere felt very safe.

The RCI Community provided by

Community really brings our web-
site to life and helps us with several
key business metrics such as online

Plus, IgoUgo has been a great strate-
gic partner that provides real solutions
that always work.

WHAT IS THE TUITION GAP?
The tuition gap is the difference between the
true cost of a Beauvoir education and the
money provided by tuition. Beauvoir s tuition
provides about 83% of the income needed to
cover the cost of a child s education.
The total budgeted cost of educating a child
this year is $24,000. Tuition is $19,990, which
leaves a gap of $4,010.

HOW CAN I HELP?
Participation in the Annual Fund is very impor-
tant to Beauvoir. We rely on gifts from parents,
alumni, grandparents, pat parents, and friends to
provide flexibility within the budget to respond
to initiatives that arise during the school year.
Without the Annual Fund, Beauvoir would be
faced with making difficult decisions about
tuition, faculty salaries, and the reduction or
elimination of our academic and extra-curricu-
lar programs.
There is a giving level that allows everyone to
participate. What is most important is that
every child benefits.

Bi-monthly Newsletter of the U.S.–Saudi Arabian Business Council Volume XV, Number 3 • 2010
The U.S.-Saudi Arabian Business Council (USSABC) and the

Hotel Towers in Chicago, Illinois, on April 27-29, 2010.
Through the vision of H.E. Abdullah Alireza, Saudi Minister of
Commerce and Industry, the three-day event was a major plat-
form for senior businesspeople and high-level government offi-
cials from both countries to explore opportunities for greater
economic cooperation, as well as to develop new and lasting
business ties. The event contained a variety of panel sessions,
workshops, luncheons, outreach events, and a banquet dinner.
The Forum was organized in collaboration with the Saudi
Arabian Ministry of Commerce and Industry, the U.S.
Department of Commerce, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce,
and in partnership with leading Chicago business organizations.
The more than 1,100 attendees from the U.S. and Saudi Arabia
were joined by senior government officials. Among them were

ANNUAL FUND
WHY THE ANNUAL FUND?
While there are many ways to contribute
to the life of the school — and the
Beauvoir community gives generously of
time and talent — a financial commitment
to the Annual Fund is an essential piece of
the school s income.
Beauvoir counts on the Annual Fund to
provide 6.3% of its operating budget, that
means the Annual Fund must grow every
year as the operating budget increases.
These unrestricted funds are important
to the day-to-day operations of Beauvoir
because they bridge the gap between
tuition and the actual expenses of educat-
ing each child. The Annual Fund helps
close this gap, making it the largest source
of income after tuition.
EVERY CHILD BENEFITS FROM
YOUR INVESTMENT

5. Loudoun County’s premier private preschool and kindergarten
We are pleased you have chosen us to educate your child.
What is it that makes Golden Pond School such as Special
Place? Why have we heard from parents that, come Sat-
urday morning, their child is up and ready to go to school
only to be very disappointed to be told that there is no
school today?
Many, many factors come together to create this sense of
excitement and wonder for young children. As you look
around the classrooms you will see a winning combination
of the new and the old - - especially-developed print-
rich rooms blending with the old-fashioned love and
respect given to each child as he enters the room. Respect,
repetition and meaning have always been the hallmarks
of solid learning. The Golden Pond School approach to
education takes these attributes to the extreme. Gone are
the meaningless worksheets and flash cards of yesterday.
Instead, our teachers develop sophisticated, child-centered
activities that provide reasons for a child to use print, to
acquire computational skills and to exercise critical, higher
level thinking. This is all accomplished under the banner of
the Golden Pond Way -- a forward-looking, child-centered
educational philosophy that incorporates brain-based
research and developmentally-appropriate practices under
the umbrella of a theme-based, integrated curriculum.
Learning the Golden Pond Way
We are enthusiastic about the Golden Pond Way – a
fruitful combination of a custom-designed, state-of-the-
art curriculum, dedicated teachers who inspire excellence,
and a carefully-planned school year providing ample
opportunities for parent involvement.

6 U.S.-SAUDI BUSINESS BRIEF G VOLUME X, NUMBER 1 G 2005
“CURRENT STATE OF U.S.-SAUDI BUSINESS RELATIONS” CONTINUED FROM COVER
On the trade front, many factors have created
a dynamic and changing environment
between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia. Saudi
import demand for the last five years has
marched in lockstep with the Kingdom's year-
ly petroleum revenues. Planning and reacting
to fluctuating global petroleum supply and
demand factors continues to be critical for
Saudi and U.S. corporations serving the mar-
ket. U.S. merchandise exports to Saudi
Arabia have grown with the Kingdom's
demand for imports. In 2004, America's
share of goods abruptly increased to 14% of
the total as Saudi imports of merchandise
from the U.S. climbed to $5.3 billion.
The increasing prominence of services is
also affecting trade and Saudi Arabia's acces-
sion to the WTO. Following the announce-
ment of an acceptable insurance regulatory
framework, the issues now on the negotiat-
ing table include agricultural subsidies, cus-
toms tariffs on more than 1,500 commodi-
ties, the state of genetically modified food
products, and the Kingdom’s intellectual
property rights regime. Regulations affecting
services are also critical; services represented
29% of total U.S. exports to Saudi Arabia in
1998. In 2004, they reached an estimated
38% of the total (see Exhibit #1 on cover).
For Saudi Arabia, facilitating the efficient flow of services,
merchandise, and foreign direct investment is a core develop-
ment and WTO priority. With the U.S. continuing to negoti-
ate free trade agreements with the UAE and Oman, Saudi
Arabia should continue to implement the final economic
reforms necessary to join the WTO. It is also imperative for
the U.S. to stand by its long-held commitment to Saudi acces-
sion and assuage the Saudi concerns that the goalposts are
being moved further out by the Americans in the negotiations.
The rounds' global negotiating success in lowering customs duties
resulted in decreased tariff rates on industrial goods and agricultural
goods. Globally, industrial goods tariffs fell steadily to an average of
less than 4% by the mid-1990s between industrial countries.
Industrial goods imported by Saudi Arabia from U.S. exporters
under new WTO provisions would stand to benefit. Industrial
goods, in contrast to lower-margin agricultural goods and commodi-
ties, have increased from 67% of the share of total merchandise
exports from the U.S. to Saudi Arabia in 1989 to 79% in 2004.
U.S. makers of heavy machinery and parts have seen a steady
increase in share as a percentage of total U.S. exports to Saudi
Arabia. Auto and part makers in Detroit and other key vehicle
manufacturing centers in the U.S. have also seen almost unin-
terrupted share growth, along with high-tech electronics vendors
(see Exhibit #2).
However, for both the U.S. and Saudi Arabia, a firm set of
rules regarding trade in services is more important than ever
before. The service component of many tendered and future
turn-key projects is significant as equipment vendors continue
their transformation into comprehensive “solution providers.”
In addition to rules on key industries such as insurance, educa-
tion, and training services, travel and tourism, as the largest
service industry, is most in need of an innovative catalyst for
growth. Saudi visitors to the U.S. plunged from a recent high
of 84,000 in the year 2000 to 23,000 in 2003. Tourists that
averaged a spending rate of $400 per day in the past looked
toward other vacation destinations. Similarly, a substantial
number of Saudi students interrupted their studies in the U.S.,
depriving the U.S. of increased international student diversity.
A vital component in restoring robust service trade is U.S. visa
processing that provides security, accuracy, and efficiency. In
2005, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is spending an
additional $10 million on the Visa Security Unit (VSU) to
improve overseas visa facilities in Saudi Arabia and other coun-
tries in the region. This budgetary increase from the previous
level should improve U.S. visa response time and fulfillment effi-
ciency, but is an insufficient investment when compared to total
Saudi-U.S. trade and travel needs over the next half decade.
Now is a particularly good time to reignite tourism with incen-
tives and packages, since consumer confidence and demand in

3U.S.-SAUDI BUSINESS BRIEF G VOLUME IX, NUMBER 1 G 2004
New Book Chronicles the History of
U.S.-Saudi Business Ties
An Interview with Thomas W. Lippman
In January 2004, Thomas W.
Lippman published his book
on U.S.-Saudi Arabian rela-
tions, entitled Inside the
Mirage: America’s Fragile Partnership with Saudi Arabia.
Mr. Lippman is an adjunct scholar at the Middle East
Institute and the former Middle East bureau chief for The
Washington Post. He has traveled extensively in Saudi
Arabia and is regarded as an expert on the Middle East. The
U.S.-Saudi Arabian Business Council discussed the book
with Mr. Lippman in the following interview:
Q: What motivated you to write this book?
Mr. Lippman: It started with the events of September 11,
2001. I thought a lot about the statements of Osama bin
Laden and his associates, all the bad
things they accuse America of doing to
Saudi Arabia and to Muslims. Those
accusations didn’t square with my experi-
ence, because I had visited Saudi Arabia
many times and generally I saw the two
cultures working in harmony despite
their differences. So I set out to tell the
whole story of American relations with
Saudi Arabia: why did Americans go
there, what did they do, and how did
they interact with their hosts?
Q: What did you find in your
research?
Mr. Lippman: I found that the relation-
ship between the United States and
Saudi Arabia is much broader and deep-
er than is commonly known in this country, and that
Americans have been involved in many aspects of Saudi
Arabian life and development other than oil.
Q: Can you give us a few examples?
Mr. Lippman: Americans introduced mechanization and
large-scale irrigation into Saudi agriculture, wrote the charter
for the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency, created the nation-
al airline and staffed it until Saudis could do it themselves,
and introduced television into Saudi Arabia. This was in
addition to developing the oil industry. The interesting thing
about all these activities is that the Americans were there to
work themselves out of a job – their mission was to train the
Saudi Arabs to take over these functions and then leave, and
that’s pretty much what happened.
Q: What surprised you the most during your
research? What did you find that you didn’t expect?
Mr. Lippman: What surprised me the most was the very
broad range of activities in Saudi Arabia in which Americans
worked directly with Saudi counterparts. Of course I knew
they did this in the oil fields, but I did not know before my
research that Americans worked side by side with Saudis on
radio and television, taught at the College of Petroleum and
Minerals, introduced paper money and – most surprising of all
– were deeply involved in the modernization of Saudi agricul-
ture. In addition to helping the Saudis with individual devel-
opment projects, such as building and staffing hospitals and
creating the first national park in the Kingdom, Americans
spent many years helping Saudi Arabia develop the basic
machinery of government. In the early decades of the modern
Kingdom, the people of Saudi Arabia under-
standably had little knowledge of how to perform
essential but to them unfamiliar functions of gov-
ernment. Americans, first from the Ford
Foundation, then from the U.S. Treasury
Department and other U.S. government agencies,
taught the Saudis how to manage a civil service
system, establish employment standards, operate
a customs service, calculate the consumer price
index, measure the work force and unemploy-
ment, conduct an accurate census and other basic
functions of modern government.
Q: Wasn’t it difficult for people from such
very different cultures and very different
stages of development to work together?
Mr. Lippman: I’m sure it was. Each side found
some aspects of the other’s culture distasteful.
The historical archives and the personal memoirs of
Americans who have lived in Saudi Arabia are full of stories
about how hard it was at times to make the relationship work.
But mostly they succeeded because there was good will on
both sides and they tried to understand each other.
Q: Do you think that the kind of personal stories that
you highlight in your book between individual
American and Saudi businessmen will help the U.S.-
Saudi relationship endure through tougher times?
Mr. Lippman: I think – or at least I hope – that this is already
happening. The relationship is under immense strain, for rea-
sons you know quite well: the invasion of Iraq, the Palestinian
question, Bush’s embrace of Sharon’s Gaza withdrawal plan,

Quarterly Newsletter of the U.S.–Saudi Arabian Business Council Volume IX, Number 2 • 2004
After years of negotiations and liberalizing economic reforms,
Saudi Arabia stands at the brink of WTO accession. After com-
pleting bilateral market access agreements with 34 nations thus
far, negotiations with the U.S. remain the last major hurdle to
the Kingdom’s WTO accession process. Along with Russia and
the Ukraine, Saudi Arabia remains the largest economy in the
world, and the only country in the six-nation Gulf Cooperation
Council, that is not a member of the 146-state trade body.
The process of accession and subsequent membership to the
WTO will usher in numerous benefits for Saudi Arabia. First,
it will protect the Kingdom from discriminatory trade policies
of other nations by fostering greater interdependence and
invoking the use of settlement procedures to resolve trade dis-
putes with other nations. Second, Saudi Arabia will no longer
be subjected to anti-dumping measures or countervailing duties
except within the framework of WTO guidelines. Instead,
Saudi exports to WTO members will be given Most Favored
Nation Status (MFN). Third, the mere process of negotiating
WTO membership will help accelerate privatization and make
Saudi Arabia a more attractive destination for foreign direct
investment. Finally, the accession process will institute greater
efficiency and cost-cutting measures into the Saudi economy.

U.S. Exports Rise Nearly Ten
Percent Through June
Contrary to common perceptions, the business relationship
between the United States and Saudi Arabia remains strong and
continues to grow as American exports rose nearly ten percent
through the first half of 2004. According to the most recent fig-
ures released by the U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. exports to Saudi
Arabia through June 2004 were $2.47 billion, a 7.5 percent rise
from the $2.29 billion in exports through June 2003.
The rise in exports also covers a wide spectrum of goods.
Industrial machinery, which is the single largest commodity
exported from the United States, experienced a 21 percent
increase in the first six months of 2004. Electronic machinery,
chemicals, industrial spare parts, vehicles and spare parts, and
cereals also showed strong growth over 2003.
U.S. imports from Saudi Arabia have seen a 13 percent decline
over the same time period from 2003, primarily because Saudi oil
exports were higher than usual in 2003 as a result of the war in
Iraq and civil unrest in Venezuela and Nigeria. Non-oil exports
to the U.S. such as aluminum, iron, plastics, and certain textiles
and agricultural products have shown significant gains in 2004.
An updated month-by-month chart of U.S. exports to Saudi
Arabia can be found in the trade section of the Council’s web
site at http://www.us-saudi-business.org/imports.htm#monthlyus.
Saudi Accession to WTO
Now Imminent
Kingdom Enters Final Stages of U.S.
Negotiations
The Council of Saudi Chambers of Commerce and Industry
(CSCCI) will establish a center providing technical and sup-
port services to Saudi businesspersons in preparation for
the Kingdom's accession to the WTO. The center, which is
scheduled to open in early 2005, will provide technical
support to agricultural, industrial, commercial and other
businesses. It will also provide Arabic translations of WTO
documents and other reference material. Feasibility stud-
ies for the center are currently being conducted by King
Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals.

quite surprised and somewhat taken aback, was delighted as
she graciously accepted the award.
G Following the afternoon breakout sessions, everyone recon-
vened for the inaugural Master Teacher award presentation,
developed by Elsevier in conjunction with ABHES. Intended
to recognize annually the dedication and talents of one deserv-
ing instructor at an ABHES-accredited institution, the recipient
was Ms. Micky Ransberger from Olympia Career Training
Institute in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Accepting the award,
Ms. Ransberger shared some of her innovative teaching secrets
with the conference participants.
Following the award presentation, Ms. Lisa Santy of
Thomson/Delmar Learning, showcased a power-point demon-
stration of the virtual library prototype that has been created
specifically for ABHES. We are hopeful that the allied health
virtual library will be accessible by the fall to interested
ABHES-accredited institutions.
We wish to thank everyone who supported ABHES by attend-
ing, exhibiting and/or sponsoring at the conference. Due to
overwhelming response, ABHES plans to host annually a
National Conference on Allied Health Education, with the next
being held on January 27-28, 2005, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Top Jobs in Allied Health
With the economy in the middle of a shift away from manufacturing
toward services, the trend will likely continue for years. The Hudson
Institute, a think tank that analyzes work force trends, has identified
the five fields among those likely to offer the most growth in the near
future. Not surprisingly, health care is at the top of the list.
The health care industry expects to need at least 1.7 million workers by
2010 and the supply of qualified personnel is unlikely to meet the demand.
In health care, the top professions have been identified as the following:
Title: Surgical technologist
Average Salary: $35,000
Key Functions: Setting up instrument tables, handing tools to
surgeons during operations, and observing patients’
vital signs.
Education: Associate degree in applied science is recommended
Credentialing: Professional certification (e.g., Liaison Council on
Certification for Surgical Technologists) is
recommended
Title: Health care administrator
Average Salary: $70,000
Key Functions: Coordination of health and medical services at
hospitals and group practices and supervision of
personnel.
Education: Business background and clinical training is
normally necessary
Title: Registered Nurse
Average Salary: $49,000 (nurse-anesthetists can earn more than
$125,000)
Education: Two-, three- or four-year accredited program
Credentialing: Licensure by the applicable State Board of Nursing

Survey Concludes: We’re Not Getting
Enough Sleep
According to an annual survey conducted by the National Sleep
Foundation (NSF) in Washington, DC, newborns to fifth-grade chil-
dren are getting one or two hours less sleep every day than experts rec-
ommend. Approximately 69% of children experience some sleep
problems a few nights per week, including difficulty falling asleep,
sleepwalking, snoring, resisting going to bed, and breathing problems.
The parents and caregivers are faring worse than they did in 2002 also,
with an average of 6.8 hours of sleep per night compared to 7 hours
that the foundation found in a poll of adults in 2002.
According to NSF, at least 40 million Americans suffer some sleep dis-
order, yet the majority of adults have never been asked about the quali-
ty of their sleep by a physician. While millions of individuals struggle
to stay alert at home, in school, and on the job, tragically, fatigue con-
tributes to more than 100,000 police reported highway crashes, causing
71,000 injuries and 1,500 deaths each year in the United States.
DID YOU KNOW?
Established in 1990, NSF is an independent nonprofit organization
dedicated to improving public health and safety by achieving an
understanding of sleep and sleep disorders, and by supporting educa-
tion, sleep-related research, and advocacy. For additional informa-

Surgery and Music – An Effective
Combination?
Don’t be surprised if in the near future, you or a loved one who is going
through surgery is awakened by the sound of music instead of the
accustomed bleeping of monitors. Today’s well-equipped surgical
units includes a high-quality sound system and an assortment of CDs,
as most surgeons listen to music. The highlights of music, according
to many, is that it relaxes the operating room and cuts out the slamming
doors and background noise. Experts say patients who listen to music
while receiving treatment for cancer or burns report less discomfort,
and premature babies who are exposed to music while in intensive care
gain weight faster and are discharged from the hospital sooner.
Others opposed to music in the operating room, especially anesthesi-
ologists who must listen intently to the monitors and patients breath-
ing, are less enthusiastic because the monitoring may not be as audi-
ble. Some opposed to the music note that it is important that the vol-
ume is right and, the first thing to do if something appears wrong, is
to turn the music off.

ABHES Doubles the Fun at its
2004 Conference.
In February, ABHES hosted its second National Conference on
Allied Health Education in New Orleans, Louisiana. Even more
extraordinary than the first, the conference was a sell-out suc-
cess! Pre-conference activities, including the ABHES accredita-
tion and institutional effectiveness workshops, evaluator train-
ing, and the annual membership meeting broke attendance
records as more institutions seek ABHES accreditation.
Here are some highlights from the conference:
G The Mardi Gras-themed opening reception, complete with
festive decorations and bead necklaces baring the ABHES logo,
accented the fun-filled event. As attendees strolled around the
reception hall visiting with exhibitors and enjoying old and
new friends, they took pleasure in a selection of smooth New
Orleans jazz preformed by a
local musical ensemble.
G The opening ceremony includ-
ed a video presentation focusing
on ABHES and the heightened
need for highly trained allied
health personnel (see page 7 on
how to purchase the video.)
Presentation of the colors by the
