Master of Ceremonies David Ono, Anchor, ABC7 Eyewitness News David Ono is the co-anchor for ABC7 Eyewitness News at 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. Since joining ABC7 in 1996, David has witnessed history worldwide, covering Hurricane Katrina, Haiti's earthquake and Japan's tsunami. He traveled across Europe and Asia chronicling brave acts of the Nisei soldier from World War II. He attended the Royal Wedding in London, tracked drug runners through Central America and reported from Paris on a terrorist plot to bring down the Eiffel Tower. Ono has trained with the FBI and the elite Los Angeles Sheriff's SWAT team. President Obama invited him to the White House for an exclusive interview. And he witnessed white smoke at the Vatican twice - in 2005 for the selection of Pope Benedict the 16th and 2013 for the selection of Pope Francis. Recently, Ono surfaced in Boston, chronicling the marathon bombing. He has won three Edward R. Murrow awards and 16 Emmys. David grew up in Texas and is a graduate of the University of North Texas. His career has included stops at KOVR in Sacramento, KDBC in El Paso, KOSA in Midland/Odessa and KXAS in Dallas. He has also hosted ABC7's half-hour show Eye on L.A. Dinner Entertainment Layla Lane Somewhere in the bustling alleys of the pop music metropolis lies L.A.-based rock duo Layla Lane. Layla Lane combines exquisite arrangements and clever harmonies for a style that is equal parts 1960's pop, gypsy swing, and good old-fashioned rock n' roll. All in the context of catchy pop tunes that rarely clock in past three minutes, the resulting sound is both playfully nostalgic and uncommonly fresh. After guitarist Heday left his native Japan to pursue his music education in the States, he honed his skills collaborating with such artists as Jim Keltner, Jerry Lee Lewis, and the Beatles' Ringo Starr. He joined forces with L.A.-born pianist Valerie Stern in early 2009. An accomplished classical musician, Valerie has performed with members of the L.A. Philharmonic and even doubled for actress Lindsay Lohan playing a Chopin Waltz in the film I Know Who Killed Me. 108th Anniversary Dinner & Gala Sponsors Presenting Sponsors 108th Anniversary Dinner & Gala Sponsors Platinum Sponsors 108th Anniversary Dinner & Gala Sponsors Gold Sponsors Ernst & Young LLP Hitachi, Ltd.

  • PUBLICATIONS Publications
    PUBLICATIONS Publications Asia and Europe: Cooperating for Energy Security François Godement, Françoise Nicolas, and Taizo Yakushiji, eds. Because of broad similarities in their economies, energy security—the availability of energy at all times, in various forms, in sufficient quanti- ties, and at affordable prices—is an issue of common concern for Asia and Europe. Any option chosen by one region will necessarily reverberate in the other. In particular, the rise in energy demand in Asia, most of all in China, will have obvious implications for Europe, as well as for the rest of the world. This report from the Council for Asia-Europe Cooperation (CAEC) task force on energy security examines the strategic implications of each region’s choices for the other region, compares existing and poten- tial schemes for regional cooperation, and defines areas for interregional cooperation. For example, one significant finding of the task force, a group comprised of Asian and European political scientists and economists, was a need for expertise transfer from the more advanced to the less advanced countries in the partnership. (English: JCIE, 2004) Asia and Europe: Global Governance as a Challenge to Co-operation William Wallace and Young Soogil, eds. The end of the Cold War and the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, have brought about profound changes in international politics. The world is in desperate need of a new system of global governance, a structure for consultation and cooperation among states to maintain global order, to contain disorder, to promote global prosperity through shared manage- ment of an open world economy, and to address the difficult issues of global equity, rights, and justice.

  • Washington State Internment Events
    Summer & Fall 2014 WSU TAKES UNPRECEDENTED CAMPUS WIDE LOOK AT JAPANESE INTERNMENT DURING WWII AND ITS STUDENTS DURING THE 1940'S From September - December 2014, Washington State University took an unprecedented campus wide look at the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII. There were 10 internment camps established and many people across the U.S. are not aware that this happened, from 1942-1945, where many Japanese American families lost their homes, property, and livelihood. Due to the donation of the "George and Frank C. Hirahara Collection" of over 2,000 photographs taken and processed at the Heart Mountain Relocation Camp in Wyoming to the WSU Libraries MASC, this collection has helped Washington State University become a part of the Japanese internment conversation across the country. Considered the largest private photo collection of photos taken at Heart Mountain, it has brought notoriety to WSU. This donation will keep on giving to provide future generations with a first-hand glimpse into this time in history. Spearheaded by the WSU Museum of Art, this series of exhibits, events, lectures, and television programming created an interest by students and the community at large to look further into Japanese internment. The information below shows the highlights and descriptions of the series of events on campus and the many WSU colleges, schools, and departments that worked together to delve into this topic. Roger Shimomura: An American Knockoff September 19 — December 13, 2014 Reception: Thursday, September 18, 6:00 p.m., Museum of Art/WSU Lecture: (Roger Shimomura) September 18, 7 p.m., Fine Arts Auditorium A survey exhibition of the work of Lawrence, Kansas-based artist, Roger Shimomura, whose paintings and prints address sociopolitical issues of Asian America.
