Fighting for Fair Pay!
Community Service wbti: U. S. Senator Harry Reid assures us that he will continue working to protect Nevada! ---President Dr. Tony T. Lei of WBTI
By Harry M. Reid

**--**

Dear Friend,

Today is Equal Pay Day ?the day that symbolizes how far into the year a woman must work, on average, to earn as much as a man earned the previous year. It is a shame that here in America women earn only 77 cents for every dollar paid to their male counterparts. Minority women face an even larger wage gap: African American women make 72 cents; Hispanic women make just less than 60 cents.*101

Because equity is still an issue, Congress has taken up H.R. 2831 ?The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. The bill overturns a 2007 Supreme Court case that held that workers must sue for pay discrimination within 180 days after receiving their first discriminatory paycheck, whether or not the discrimination continues until the present day and even if the worker had no way of knowing that others were being paid more for the same work. This legislation will provide a narrow fix that will make clear that each discriminatory paycheck is in fact another act of discrimination.

The Fair Pay Act will restore a reasonable time limit for filing pay discrimination claims. The 180-day clock for filing a pay discrimination claim resets with every paycheck in which a worker is paid less because of her gender or race. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits employers from discriminating against workers on the basis of race, color, gender, religion or national origin. The Fair Pay Act will reestablish a fair rule for filing claims of pay discrimination and restore the interpretation of the law previously accepted by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and federal courts throughout the country.

Sincerely,

Harry Reid

"Dear Board Members: This is a reminder that we will have a board meeting in teleconference on the evening of Mar 17th Monday, to discuss CCBA~{!/~}s business. Please review and prepare ...," wrote Christian Chinese Business Association (CCBA) Board Chair Jian Zhu on March 7, 2008. The Tele-conference will be held on March 17, 2008.*3

"In the past four years, we can testify the grace of God among us throughout our mission journey. It transformed from one location to multiple locations. From Northern Europe to East Asia, from Taiwan to Mainland China, from China to Central Asia, from the coast to the inland, from folk religion to atheist, from the Buddhists to the Islam, from the churches to the schools, from the rich to the poor, from the prisons the drug rehabilitation centers, from the coast to the inland. We can see the power of God work among the weak and battle for His kingdom," wrote CCBA Vice President Paul Wang.*5 Paul is an achieved and famous Chinese American Christian leader. He is the Senior Pastor of Carrollton Chinese Church (CCC), Dallas, Texas. He is going to lead Mission to China, Kyrgyzstan, and Taiwan (MCKT), a short-term mission to Asia in May-June, 2008. "Praise the Lord! This year our mission team will have 15-20 people. We will divide the mission group into two teams with three purposes: First, we will go to Xiangzu Taiyen, trying to establish a base for future ministry. Second, we will travel to Kyrgyzstan, and seaching for the will of God and explore the possibility of minister to the Islam. Thirdly, we will travel to the Northeast of Taiwan, minister to the people at Yilan, we will also travel to Taichung and minister to Dajia."

"Thanks all, I~{!/~}m just back in China from a three day trip to HK where I met with amazing China experts. It was a very encouraging time. Thanks for the email with the notes. His best to you, Finn," wrote one of the CCBA Directors Finn Torjesen, an achieved Chinese Christian Leader recognized by the Government, from Taiyuan City, Shanxi, China to WBTI.*6 The e-mail was an answer to CCBA President Song Cao's concerning about Torjesen's "How is your trip back to Taiyuan" to him?

The famous city is rich in culture and business. For a search of 'Taiyuan china' by the world leading search engines on Internet, we can view its three colorful and beautiful pictures. "Image results for Taiyuan china" is on the first line of Google.com's results at 8:17 a.m. on March 13, 2008.

"Dear CCBA Board Members, Our next board meeting will be held at 9 PM (Houston, CST) on March 17. Attached is the notice for the meeting, along with the meeting minutes of last board meeting. Please let me know if you could not make it or any questions you may have. Best regards, Song," wrote President of CCBA Song Cao to WBTI.*7

Christian Chinese Business Association of Las Vegas (CCBALV) will be one of the chapters of CCBA.*8

"I~{!/~}ll be arriving in Seattle that afternoon. It will be a 7PM call for me so I don~{!/~}t think it will be a problem except for jet lag. Finn," wrote CCBA Director Finn Torjesen to WBTI. The e-mail was trying to remind President Song Cao to call him so it would not be a problem for him except for jet lag.*9

"Igniting the city through the cooperation and development with our expertise, integrity, and professionalism is on the way! Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) has inspired and cooperated River of Life Christian Church (ROLCC) with endeavor to help promote the quality of life and community service for the people in California and Nevada," delivered Justice of Nevada Supreme Court Michael L. Douglas the message on March 9, 2007 in Las Vegas, Nevada.*10 It has been also for CCC with CCBA and people in Texas since six months ago. Wish the projects by CCC and CCBA a great success and future!

The Servant as a Giver
by Charles R. Swindoll

Philippians 2:3-4

I like the tongue-in-cheek definition of philosophers one of my seminary professors would occasionally use. It's classic:

Philosophers are people who talk about something they don't understand and make you think it's your fault!1

Lots of philosophies are floating around, and most of them are more confusing than they are helpful. Interestingly, those that are clear enough to be understood usually end up focusing full attention on the individual. Consider a few of them:

Education says, "Be resourceful; expand yourself!"
Psychology says, "Be confident; assert yourself!"
Religion says, "Be good; conform yourself!"
Epicureanism says, "Be sensuous; enjoy yourself!"
Materialism says, "Be satisfied; please yourself!"
Pride says, "Be superior; promote yourself!"
Humanism says, "Be capable; believe in yourself!"
Philanthropy says, "Be generous; release yourself!"

Yourself, yourself, yourself. We're up to here with self! Do something either for yourself or with yourself or to yourself. How very different from Jesus's model and message! He offers rather a fresh and much-needed invitation to our "me-first" generation. Jesus says, in effect, "Be a servant . . . give to others!" (Mark 10:45). Now that's a philosophy anybody can understand. And, without question, it is attainable. Just look:

Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. (Philippians 2:3-4)

Know what all that means? Well, for starters, "nothing" means just that. Stop permitting two strong tendencies---selfishness and conceit---to control you! Let nothing that either of these words suggests win a hearing. Replace "selfishness" and "conceit" with "humility of mind."

But how? By regarding others as more important than yourself. Look for ways to support, encourage, build up, and stimulate the other person.

And that requires an attitude that would rather give than receive.

Standing together in service

From: Michelle Obama [info@barackobama.com]View Contact

Tony --

The Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., is usually remembered for his heroic leadership of the civil rights movement -- he led the successful Montgomery bus boycott, delivered the "I Have A Dream" speech at a time when such words were still controversial, and ultimately gave his own life to the cause of equality.

But Dr. King was much more than a civil rights champion -- he was a man who lived his entire life in service to others, speaking out against poverty, economic injustice, and violence. Wherever he saw suffering, he did what he could to help, no matter who it was that needed him or why they were in pain. Through his leadership, he showed us what we can accomplish when we stand together.

Each January, we remember Dr. King on his own holiday -- and one of the best ways to preserve his legacy is to engage in service ourselves. As Dr. King told us, "Life's most persistent and urgent question is: 'What are you doing for others?'"

That's why from tomorrow, Saturday, January 15th, through Monday, January 17th, Organizing for America volunteers will be participating in service projects all across the country in Dr. King's honor. There will be food drives, neighborhood clean-ups, education projects, blood drives, and more.

There's an event in North Las Vegas -- please attend if you can, and help make this country an even better place.

Here are the details:

What: Service event

Where: 100 Academy of Excellence
2341 Comstock Drive
North Las Vegas, NV 89032

When: Monday, January 17th
10:00 am

If you can't make that particular service event, you can find others in your area here.

This movement is about so much more than politics -- it is about coming together through progress, change, and community. Lifting each other up in dedication and service is one of the best ways not only to honor Dr. King, but to honor each other. By giving service a new role in this country, we can establish a new foundation for our economy and a brighter future for our children.

That is why service is key to achieving our national priorities, and why Barack recently helped out at a Boys and Girls Club service event. Since moving to Washington, D.C., two years ago, he and I have gotten to know the community through similar service projects, including past Martin Luther King Day events. I treasure those opportunities, and I look forward to another one next week. Every time we pitch in, we get so much back, and always learn amazing things from our neighbors.

All of us have something to contribute, and all of us can make a meaningful difference in someone's life. It's a great way to remind others that they are not forgotten, and to remind ourselves that there are always things we can do.

Please help Barack and me honor the legacy of Dr. King, and join us in service to our country once again this year:

Thanks,

Michelle

Dear All,

New class from 生命河教牧領袖學院.

Blessing,
Joseph

----- Forwarded Message ----
From: Cynthia Kuan [cynthiak@rolcc.net]

「生命河教牧領袖學院」(ROLPLI) 由2011年起轉型，將由原來著重「傳統聖經神學教育」方向，

轉換為著重「實用操練服事」的教導。 我們的重點有：

1. 所有講員都是親臨面對面的教導，不再僅是觀看DVD
(當然我們也會將課程放在網站上，提供給報名卻有時間衝突不能上課的同學上網收看，或補課)

2. 上課時間為密集式，多半可在一週內完成 (週間晚上或週六上課)，方便同學安排時間表

3. 對象只要是有心服事神，願為神興起的基督徒。不再限制一定要是小組長、區牧或已經在服事的同工。

4. 課程可以申請證書，或只是旁聽。證書班同學會在「生命河教牧領袖學院」取得學籍。
完成每一課程不僅發給該課程證書，同時可以取得1個學分。這些學分將來可以轉為「教牧領袖碩士」及「職場事奉碩士」學位學分。

我們的口號是 〝2011年讓我們在服事中開創「新的領域」、裝備上抓住「新的機會」〞

附檔

一個是：劉彤牧師「敬拜與事奉」的課程大綱和報名表，1/20/2011請鼓勵弟兄姐妹報名參加，不論是證書或旁聽都不要失掉這一個「機會」。
一個是：2011全年度所開出來課程的簡介，可以轉寄給弟兄姐妹。

謝謝！願神的恩膏滿溢，服事中大有喜樂！

親愛的區牧、小組長們平安，

在這裡問候各位新年快樂，全家平安！
聽過「新酒新皮袋」嗎？好像有？就是那個...給失婚和單親家庭的小組吧！「新酒新皮袋」都在做什麼？不太清楚？ 沒關係，以前的請看附檔 「新酒新皮袋通訊」 (January 2011)

首先，謝謝許多的區牧、小組長們花了許多的心力和時間在牧養、關懷我們這一個族群的弟兄姐妹。然而，我也相信有很多時候，我們也是需要一些比較針對我們需要的教導和學習。

2011年起「新酒新皮袋」決定採用「真愛全人成長教材(4)」「單親不孤單」一系列13個主題單元做基礎(詳情請看附檔)，以supporting group 的型態，讓我們離婚、喪偶，及單親的父親、母親，能夠走出傷痛、面對未來，建立一個有愛的家。

「新酒新皮袋」名稱的意義就是，讓我們放下緬懷過去或怨嘆自己的舊皮袋，領受新酒、新鮮的恩膏，醞釀出馨香的生命。

如果你的牧區或小組裡有離婚或喪偶的弟兄姐妹，(請forward attached New2New Newsletters給他們)，並邀請他/她來聚會。(如果你有負擔或願意一同來學習也歡迎參加，幫助你將來能幫助單親、失婚喪偶的人。)

1/15「新酒新皮袋」今年的第一次聚會，(我們將再每個月的第一和第三個禮拜六聚會)

日期：1/15/2011 (週六)
時間：7:00-9:30p.m.
地點：矽谷生命河靈糧堂 G5 以賽亞教室
如果有小孩可以一起帶來，我們有兒童節目

Thanks & God bless

Thank you very much for the birthday wishes! I am also proud and honored to have both of you as my dear friends. It is also exciting to hear we have a new Asian American District Court Judge. Judge Jerry Tao. Hope you had a wonderful holiday. Judge Moss

Dear Tony,

I am writing to you as one of a select group of highly successful senior executives among our graduates. I want to let you know about an important opportunity exclusively for directors of public companies that we are sponsoring in cooperation with the Corporate Directors Group.

New Developments in Public Company Board Responsibilities will be held at the Villa Graziadio Executive Center in Malibu on February 22, 2011. This content-packed, half-day seminar will bring together currently serving directors and some of the foremost experts in the complex issues contributing to increased board scrutiny and liability today. Topics to be addressed in this intensive learning environment include: the debate over director and executive compensation, when to engage a fairness option, adding new members to the board, and many more. Special guest experts for the seminar will include John Orr, managing director of Integro Group; Dan Wetzel and Mike Esser of Pearl Meyer & Partners; Chad Keck, vice chairman of Needham & Company; and Harvey Saferstein, managing partner of Mintz Levin.

The Graziadio School of Pepperdine University is partnering with The American College of Corporate Directors, the education arm of the Corporate Directors Group, to offer this outstanding program, complimentary to our alumni who serve as public company directors. Because participation is limited to directors, you can be sure that you will have the opportunity to network with business leaders at the highest level who experience issues and challenges similar to your own.

Participation in this seminar will provide eight points toward certification from the Corporate Directors Group for those who choose to seek this external validation. As a member of the Board of Directors of a NYSE/Arca company, I know firsthand the value that shareholder activist organizations place on such credentials when they rate boards. In this current climate of intense scrutiny and SEC mandated transparency for the qualifications of board members, this is an excellent way to demonstrate currency and credibility. To learn more about the Corporate Directors Group, click here.

I hope you will join fellow Pepperdine alumni and other directors for this powerful learning opportunity. We will begin with a luncheon at noon and conclude with a reception at 5:30 p.m. Overnight accommodations can be booked in the Villa on campus at a special rate. For more information, please contact Rachel Todd at 310-568-5736 or rachel.todd@pepperdine.edu.

Sincerely,

Otis Baskin

概述
基督徒華人商業協會（簡稱基督徒華商會），英文为Chinese Christian Business Association（簡稱 CCBA）, 成立於2007年，总部设在美国德克莎斯州休斯顿市，是美国联邦政府註冊批准的501(c)(3)非營利組織。三年多來，神的恩手一直在帶領CCBA，在祂所賜的異象中摸索嘗試努力及堅持。

我們的異象
透過服事在商場中神國的精兵，以達到成全信徒、服事教會、廣傳福音、委身宣教、全人與社會關懷、神得榮耀的目的。

我們的使命

我們相信，神在二十一世紀要啟用一群特殊的精兵，就是在商場中為神作見證的弟兄姊妹。因著這個緣故，CCBA的第一個使命就是用神的道、異象與使命，去聯絡、連接與服事在商場中為神奔走天路，作美好見證的的弟兄姊妹。

我們相信，在商場中為主作見證的弟兄姊妹需要有合乎聖經及其價值觀的教導、栽培與同行，因此，CCBA會以不同的方式，如孵化、合作等方式提供各種不同的資源，將神的真理與恩典帶到商場基督徒當中去。
重要通告

根據2010年7月31日決議﹐由基督徒華商會發起和主辦﹐將於2011年10月初在曉士頓舉辦「國際基督徒企業家論壇」﹐並成立了籌委會﹐著手籌措論壇會的具體落實。

這次論壇將邀請世界各地在職場上願意為神作見證的眾基督徒參加﹐包括基督徒企業家和各行各業的弟兄姐妹共400人(初步估計)﹐是一件值得慶賀的盛事。

論壇宗旨是促進國際基督徒企業家之間交流與合作﹐在末世中回應天職的呼召，以圣經原則為基礎﹐在職場中作光作鹽，在普世中連接和擴展神的國度。

我們鼓勵所有華商會會員和關心這一事工的兄弟姐妹積極進言﹐共同把這次活動辦好﹐榮耀神的名。

點擊下載"2011年國際基督徒企業家大會建議書"

我們相信，萬物都是出於神、本於神及歸於神，包括世人所賺取的金錢。因此，CCBA的使命之一是鼓勵在職場中的 基督徒，在職場中將所賺得的金錢歸在主的名下，以各種不同的方式如成立基金會、鼓勵弟兄姊妹為天國而投資，積攢財寶在天上。

我們相信，神在末世中將祂一切的奧秘 榮耀能力與恩典都隱藏及彰顯在祂兒子的身體—─教會裡，因此，CCBA的終極服事目標之一就是使他兒子的名在教會中顯為大，因此，CCBA將以提供資源，分享資源等方式，讓神的家得著益處。

Forum for the Future: Partnership Dialogue Panel Session

Remarks
Hillary Rodham Clinton
Secretary of State
Ritz Carlton
Doha, Qatar

January 13, 2011

MR. FOSTER: Good morning. Thank you very much for joining us here, at the seventh Forum for the Future. My name is David Foster, and I will be moderating this discussion involving our panelists here, and of course, a great many of you out here, as well.

For the past five years, it's been my privilege to work here in Qatar for Al-Jazeera English. And one of our mottos has always been, "Every angle, every side," which is, effectively, what this is about. It's about dialogue (inaudible). And we will work our way from this side.

First of all, may I ask, Madam Secretary, Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State of the United States of America (inaudible).

SECRETARY CLINTON: Thank you very much, David. I am honored to be here again at the Forum for the Future, especially with so many friends and colleagues from the G8 and from the Middle East.

I am delighted to join with Sheikh Khalid, who is a great colleague of mine in the foreign ministry, and I look forward to hearing from Slaheddine Jourchi, whose work on human rights and democracy in Tunisia I admire -- and, of course, it is especially timely today -- and Mohamed El-Masry, president of the Federation of Egyptian Chambers of Commerce.

This is the last stop on a trip that has brought me from Abu Dhabi and Dubai to Yemen, Oman, and now to Doha. On this short, but intense journey, I saw many signs of the potential for a new and innovative Middle East: a solar-powered city rising from the sands of the UAE; civil society leaders in Oman partnering with their government to improve education and create economic opportunities; a young Yemeni woman and a young Yemeni man, both of whom studied abroad and then returned to work for progress in Yemen. And of course, here in Qatar, the home of the 2022 World Cup, we see many examples of a commitment to innovation. Last year I visited Education City, which is connecting Qatar's young people to the global economy.

So, wherever I go, in my conversations with people from all walks of life~{!*~}from officials at the highest levels of government to university students, religious leaders, and engaged citizens, one message has consistently emerged: People are deeply proud of this region and what it has accomplished, but they are also profoundly concerned about the trends in many parts of the broader Middle East, and what the future holds.

We all know this region faces serious challenges, even beyond the conflicts that dominate the headlines of the day. And we have a lot of work to do. This forum was designed to be not just an annual meeting where we talk with and at each other, but a launching pad for some of the institutional changes that will deal with the challenges that we all know are present.

For example, a growing majority of this region is under the age of 30. In fact, it is predicted that in just one country, Yemen, the population will double in 30 years. These young people have a hard time finding work. In many places, there are simply not enough jobs. Across the region, one in five young people is unemployed. And in some places, the percentage is far more. While some countries have made great strides in governance, in many others people have grown tired of corrupt institutions and a stagnant political order. They are demanding reform to make their governments more effective, more responsive, and more open. And all this is taking place against a backdrop of depleting resources: water tables are dropping, oil reserves are running out, and too few countries have adopted long-term plans for addressing these problems.

Each country, of course, has its own distinct challenges, and each its own achievements. But in too many places, in too many ways, the region~{!/~}s foundations are sinking into the sand. The new and dynamic Middle East that I have seen needs firmer ground if it is to take root and grow everywhere. And that goal brings us to this Forum.

I believe that the leaders of this region, in partnership with their people, have the capacity to build that stronger foundation. There are enough models and examples in the region to point to, to make the economic and social reforms that will create jobs, respect the right of diversity to exist, create more economic opportunity, encourage entrepreneurship, give citizens the skills they need to succeed, to make the political reforms that will create the space young people are demanding, to participate in public affairs and have a meaningful role in the decisions that shape their lives.

So to my friends, the leaders of these countries, I would say: You can help build a future that your young people will believe in, stay for, and defend. Some of you are already demonstrating that. But for others it will take new visions, new strategies and new commitments. It is time to see civil society not as a threat, but as a partner. And it is time for the elites in every society to invest in the futures of their own countries.

Those who cling to the status quo may be able to hold back the full impact of their countries~{!/~} problems for a little while, but not forever. If leaders don~{!/~}t offer a positive vision and give young people meaningful ways to contribute, others will fill the vacuum. Extremist elements, terrorist groups, and others who would prey on desperation and poverty are already out there, appealing for allegiance and competing for influence. So this is a critical moment, and this is a test of leadership for all of us.

I am here to pledge my country~{!/~}s support for those who step up to solve the problems that we and you face. We want to build stronger partnerships with societies that are on the path to long-term stability and progress -- business, government and civil society, as represented on this panel, must work together, as in our new regional initiative called Partners for a New Beginning. We know that what happens in this region will have implications far beyond.

Now, America cannot solve these problems. And I know you understand that. But it bears repeating. What we need is a real vision for that future that comes from each of you, from governments that must deliver on their promises, from civil society and business leaders who must build their people up, and of course, from the people themselves.

The Middle East is brimming with talent. It is blessed with resources, enriched by strong traditions of faith and family. This rising generation of young people has the potential to achieve so much, and we need to give them the chance to do so.

So, here at the Forum for the Future, let us face honestly that future. Let us discuss openly what needs to be done. Let us use this time to move beyond rhetoric, to put away plans that are timid and gradual, and make a commitment to keep this region moving in the right direction. People are looking for real leadership in the 21st century, and I think it can be provided, and I know that this is the moment to do so.

Thank you very much.

[[[ 內華達州長山道沃任命華裔陶德猷為克縣主審法官。（圖：陶龍生提供）]]]

內華達州新州長山道沃（Brian Sandoval）將重要的克拉克縣主審法官遺缺任命華裔陶德猷（Jerry Tao）接任，這是新州長第一位司法體系的任命，也是內華達史上首位亞裔司法官員。*3137

42歲的陶德猷，出身法學世家，父母親都是律師，父親陶龍生為華府大律師，祖父是前北京大學法學院長及政論家陶希聖。他生長於美國，康乃爾大學學士、喬治華盛頓法學院博士，州長任命前，他是克拉縣法院公設辯護長。

去年8月克縣主審法官沃爾（David Wall）辭職後的遺缺，成為內華達19名法律界人士爭取的職務，經過內華達法官甄選委員會挑選，最後三人從19人中脫穎而出，陶德猷為其中之一。甄選委員會成員由內華達高等法院法官及州內各個司法單位權威人士組成。

最後被甄選委員會推薦的三人，均經過州長面試以及深入的背景調查，陶德猷為州長認為最傑出之人。

陶德猷於申請說明中，提出長達50頁的精闢見解，令州長山道沃感觸很深，他在任命時說，聯邦法官經驗讓他認知什麼樣的法官是好法官，陶德猷的能力使他驚訝並且尊敬，是內華達州主審法官最理想人選。

陶德猷的父母親均被邀請參加在州政府大樓舉行的任命典禮，他們為兒子的表現而高興。陶德猷表示將全力作出公正公平人性化的審案精神。
