Success in Education
Senate Majority Leader Raggio, Speaker Buckley and I, acted in what we believed was the best interest of Nevada��s students
By James A. Gibbons
This past week brought a great victory to the students of Nevada. The compromise we reached for education funding gives me great hope for a brighter future for Nevada��s children.
My budget contained record increases for education--18 percent for kindergarten through 12th grade and 16 percent for higher education. It also contained the concept of Empowerment schools. When it came to compromise, the legislative leadership of both parties and I all yielded a little and by doing so our children gained a lot.
Empowerment is my proposal to give individual principals and their schools the power to manage their own budgets, curricula and schedules to best serve their unique student populations. This compromise ensures that empowerment receives the meaningful pilot program it deserves in Nevada. A total of 29 schools will be empowered in ten Nevada counties. In addition, teachers will get a six-percent pay increase over the next two years. Career and technical education programs will get an additional $7 million over the biennium. Further, the Innovative Education Fund, which has been working wonders in school districts like White Pine County, where student achievement has increased dramatically, gets roughly a $17 million infusion.
Higher education also kept the increased per-student funding which I proposed and even managed to achieve more than $50 million in "hold harmless" funding, which protects college and university budgets even when enrollment falls below projections.
I cannot take credit for supporting every successful education program. Nor can I say I won all that I wanted to achieve for our schools. However, I believe all of us involved in the process, especially Senate Majority Leader Raggio, Speaker Buckley and I, acted in what we believed was the best interest of Nevada��s students. In the end, Nevada��s students won.

The end is near
Senate Democrats are glad legislators have continued to look for additional funding for education
By Dr. Dina Titus
"I did it because of the terrible mess that the prior Legislature put our education system in by holding our kids' education hostage."
-Jim Gibbons, October 28, 2004 (on authoring the "Education First" Initiative)
___________________________________
Dear Tony,
Yesterday (5/29/07), after long negotiations, an agreement of sorts was reached that attempts to reconcile the key priorities of the Governor and the Democratic leadership in the state Senate and Assembly.
The Governor's quest for tax breaks for businessmen threatened this session's goal of making critical improvements in our schools and much-needed help for our teachers. Because of the Gibbons' "Education First" initiative, the legislature must pass the education budget first. With six days remaining in the mandatory 120 day legislative session, your legislature has yet to pass a single budget.
The education budget has been, in fact, held hostage to tax breaks that the business community has yet to indicate was a priority. The fact that the Education First law has been used as a political tool for leveraging a single politician's agenda is not surprising for all of us who fought for a new direction in Nevada.
For now, it's politics as usual here in sunny Carson City. While the Senate's Democrats did not attend the press event yesterday, we will continue to work to pass the very best budget that can be of some value to the people of our state, and we'll continue to work on some key points left out of the press announcements today.
This is that moment of the legislative session where we are between a rock and a hard place: the rock being a 120 day session with an education budget first mandate, and the hard place being the Governor's policy priorities.
I will tell you that I will never compromise my values, and will try to make the best of a difficult and messy situation. In just a few short months, we've gone from "Education First" to education worst. We have now been listed as 50th in the country by the Congressional Quarterly. This is unacceptable.
Perhaps, with a little help from you and me, the public will take a close look at their state government post 2006. For now, we'll work within the legal restrictions placed before us. Next year, our opponents may have some explaining to do.
Sincerely,
Dina Titus
Nevada Senate Minority Leader
P.S. ?Here's some late breaking good news. Under the LEED revisions, another $12 million has been discovered which can go to teacher raises. Reflecting what we said yesterday, Senate Democrats are glad legislators have continued to look for additional funding for education. Another million was also added for Career and Tech programs.

"I wish to serve as a delegate because": I (Dr. Tony Lei) will offer my endeavor, knowledge, and ability to carry out the duties for the rights and benefits of the homeowners and residents here in our community. I'll work to motivate both the good production and human relations on the work performance of our Association and the Management Company which we, the homeowners, are paying service fees to support. Service charge should be fair to give the Company sufficient incentive to performance. Protection and decision by our Association to serve our Homeowners should become more E.Q. and easy for them to accept and follow.
"Qualifications I feel will benefit the community": Delegates who are good in managemt knowledge and experience will do better with the Home Association Company to promote the work performance for the rights and benefits of our homeowners. I may use my knowledge to serve our community as I have been well educated by U. S. in Business and Education. I may use my experience to work for our homeowners and residents. I received my M.B.A. and Ed.D. in Institutional Management from Pepperdine University, Malibu, California, but my knowledge and experience will be also important for me to service our community together with my sincere and humble personal traits.
"Other information I wish to share": I have lived here with my children (now Mike) more than 15 years. I love the atmosphere here, I love the environment here, and especially I love the people here in our community. We should expect both of our Association and Management Company put effort to help our community be of our homeowners, by our homeowners , and for our homeowners. It's a good thing by working for you at the same time working for our families also because both of us are homeowners.

BREAKING NEWS!
Reid Fights Legislation to Revive Yucca Mountain
By Harry M. Reid*1
This week, Senators Pete Domenici (R-NM) and Larry Craig (R-ID) introduced legislation that would be especially shortsighted and dangerous for Nevada if it ever had a chance of passing. The Nuclear Waste Access to Yucca Act (NU-WAY) is a last-ditch effort to try to salvage the dying Yucca Mountain project by gutting laws that protect our environment and public health. NU-WAY would permit the Department of Energy to begin shipping nuclear waste to Nevada before the proposed repository has even received a license. If this bill ever passed, it would force Nevada to serve as a temporary above-ground nuclear waste dump for decades. As Nevada�s senior senator, I will leverage my position as the Senate Majority leader to ensure that this bill is dead on arrival.*2
We should not try to change federal law and lower our safety and health standards for Yucca ?we need a solution to nuclear waste that lives up to American standards.
-------------------
Solving the Nuclear Waste Problem
While nuclear energy powers 20 percent of our country, it creates thousands of tons of one of the most harmful substances known to man. Over two decades of work at Yucca Mountain show that it is not a solution for nuclear waste. The science behind Yucca is corrupted and riddled with politics. We need a real solution that does not attempt to defy scientific reality.
That is why I have worked with Senator Ensign to find a solution to this problem. Earlier this year, we introduced the Federal Accountability for Nuclear Waste Storage Act. Under our proposal, the DOE will take ownership of nuclear waste and store it safely at nuclear power plants where it is produced. The waste will be in secure dry casks, which have a long and proven record of safety. Nevadans will be assured that nuclear waste will never be stored at Yucca, and all Americans will be safer without spent nuclear fuel being shipped past communities home to 250 million people.
Dry cask storage is already here to stay. More than half of our nation�s nuclear power plants already store nuclear waste in dry casks, and according to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, it is safe for over one hundred years. Dry cask storage saves taxpayers money, is safe and secure, and gives us time to find a scientifically sound solution. Best of all, it allows us to achieve these goals without putting our nation at risk of nuclear terror on highways. It saves us from a potential public health catastrophe in Nevada .
Please rest assured that I am seeking a scientifically sound long-term solution to our nuclear waste problems. Let�s take the focus away from the dead-end Yucca Mountain project, and find real solutions for America �s future.*3

*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 ��has 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 ��integrity 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, ��We 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, ��Harry 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.

Leadership is love through integrity!
To lead is to serve...to give...to achieve together
By Tiffany Chang
***** The leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me, never say "I." And that's not because they have trained themselves not to say "I." They don't think "I." They think "we"; they think "team." They understand their job to be to make the team function. They accept responsibility and don't sidestep it, but "we" gets the credit�K. This is what creates trust, what enables you to get the task done. ---Peter F. Drucker
"Love that lasts involves a real and genuine concern for others as persons, for their values as they feel them, for their development and growth," said Evelyn Duvall.*1 In our real world, people are led by leaders. 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.
We are pleased to quote the following five short but meaningful ones:
***** Love is to the heart what the summer is to the farmer's year. It brings to harvest all the loveliest flowers of the soul. ---Billy Graham*2
***** The ultimate responsibility of a leader is to facilitate other people's development as well as his own. ---Fred Pryor
***** To be a leader means willingness to risk--and willingness to love. Has the leader given you something from the heart? ---Hubert H. Humphrey
***** The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between the leader is a servant. ---Max Dupree; "Leadership Is an Art"
***** Love is the higest, purest, most precious of all spiritual things. It will draw out from men their magnificent potential. ---Zig Ziglar
It's our pleasure to post a short story from "Speaker's Source Book II" by Glenn Van Ekeren:
I went on a search to become a leader.
I searched high and low. I spoke with authority. People listened. But alas, there was one who was wiser than I, and they follow that individual.
I sought to inspire confidence, but the crowd responded, "Why should I trust you?"
I postured, and I assumed the look of leadership with a countenance that flowed with confidence and pride. But many passed me by and never noticed my air of elegance.
I ran ahead of the others, pointed the way to new heights. I demonstrated that I knew the road to greatness. And then I looked back, and I was alone.
"What shall I do?" I queried. "I've tried hard and used all that I know." And I sat down and pondered long.
And then, I listened to the voices around me. And I heard what the group was trying to accomplish. I rolled up my sleeves and joined in the work.
As we worked, I asked, "Are we all together in what we want to do and how to get the job done?"
And we thought together, and we fought together, and we struggled towards our goal.
I found myself encouraging the fainthearted. I sought the ideas of those too shy to speak out. I taught those who had little skill. I praised those who worked hard. When our task was completed, one of the group turned to me and said, "This would not have been done but for your leadership."
At first, I said, "I didn't lead. I just worked with the rest." And then I understood, leadership is not a goal. It's a way to reaching a goal.
I lead best when I help others to go where we've decide to go. I lead best when I help others to use themselves creatively. I lead best when I forget about myself as leader and focus on my group...their needs and their goals.
To lead is to serve...to give...to achieve together.
---By Anonymous*3
Begin with praise and honest appreciation, we shall be more skillful in leading. Leadership is love through integrity!

Armed Forces Day and a statement
By James A. Gibbons
It is with both pride and sadness that we celebrate Armed Forces Day on Saturday, May 19th.
Our sadness comes partly from the confirmation that we have lost Carson City native Sergeant Anthony Schober. His parents have had to endure the torture of not knowing the fate of their son��only to learn that he was one of four soldiers killed in Al Taqa, Iraq, when their patrol was attacked on May 12th.
We also mourn the loss of Sergeant Coby Schwab. Although Sergeant Schwab listed Puyallup, Washington as his hometown, his family lives in Henderson, and young Coby spent most of his life there. He is being buried on Armed Forces Day at Southern Nevada Veteran Cemetery in Boulder City.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to these families and their loved ones. We also pray for the safe return of the three soldiers in Sergeant Schober��s patrol who still have not been found.
Our pride comes from what these young Nevadans fought for and paid the ultimate price for��freedom. By fighting terrorists on foreign soil, they helped deter terrorist attacks here on our home front.
A good place to feel that pride is Hawthorne, Nevada, at the annual Armed Forces Day parade. The people of Hawthorne could well define ��patriotism�� for the rest of America. You cannot watch without feeling American pride, or without feeling a deep connection to Nevada, to our great nation, and to the brave men and women��including many Nevadans��who serve us all. As I join the celebration in Hawthorne, I encourage all Nevadans to remember our servicemen and women on this Armed Forces Day. (From an e-mail by The Office of Governor to WBTI on May 18, 2007.)
*****[[[ governor gibbons' statement on death of SGT. anthony jason schober
Carson City - Governor Jim Gibbons released the following statement regarding the death of Army Sgt. Anthony Jason Schober.
�Dawn and I offer our thoughts and prayers to the friends and family of Sgt. Schober as they endure the loss of one of our nation�s true heroes. Sgt. Schober exemplified honor and love of country, serving three tours in Iraq in support of the Global War on Terror. We honor his service to our country and recognize the ultimate sacrifice he made in the name of freedom.
�Dawn and I also extend our prayers to the friends and family of the three soldiers of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, who were captured and reportedly are now being held by al-Qaida terrorists.?
Sgt. Schober, 23, served with the 4th Battalion, 31st Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division (Light Infantry) based at Fort Drum, New York.
In honor of Sgt. Schober, flags at the Nevada State Capitol will be flown at half-staff. (From an e-mail by The Office of Governor to WBTI on May 18, 2007.) ]]]

Immigration Reform: Tough, Fair and Practical
By Harry M. Reid*1
It~{!/~}s time to fix America ~{!/~}s broken immigration system with a policy that is tough on those who break the law, fair to taxpayers, and practical to implement.*2
This week I introduced the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007. This is the same bill that passed the Senate with broad, bipartisan support last year. In fact, 23 Republicans voted for it. Unfortunately, the bill was killed by conservative Republicans in the House of Representatives. This bill addresses the problems of illegal immigration through strengthening border security, reuniting families, creating tough and smart workplace enforcement, and bringing 12 million people out of the shadows of our society.
Today, there are more than 12 million undocumented immigrants in our country. The vast majority of them are law-abiding, productive people, who have contributed a great deal to the spirit, culture, and economy of America . However, it is imperative that we know who is in our country and who is crossing our borders.
We need to stem the flow of illegal immigration by passing reform that includes strong and effective border patrol and tough sanctions against employers who hire undocumented immigrants. We also need a new worker program and an opportunity for undocumented workers who are already here to earn their way to U.S. citizenship by getting in the back of the line, working hard for several years, paying taxes, learning English, passing criminal background checks, and paying fines and penalties.
Our nation~{!/~}s diversity is what makes us strong. America has proudly provided hope for those who yearn to be free. This sentiment is the guiding light of America that has led the world for the last two and a half centuries. The Senate must reestablish the rule of law while upholding the values of our great nation. This is not amnesty; it is a firm and sensible approach to fixing our flawed immigration system. I hope you will join me in calling on our President and legislators from both sides of the aisle to come together and fulfill their obligation to the American people on an issue that can no longer be ignored.
[[[ Which of the following aspects of Comprehensive Immigration Reform are most important to you?
Stronger borders
Tougher worksite enforcement policies
Clearing visa backlogs
A new worker program
Providing avenues to earned legal status
Speak Up! ]]]
[[[ I am proud to be your voice in the United States Senate, and I believe it is important that we communicate with each other. For my part, I will send these newsletters throughout the 110th Congress. I encourage you to speak up and let your voice be heard.
Speak Up! ]]] *3

*1. About Senator Harry Reid (a concise one by the Editor of this flier): U. S. Senator Harry M. Reid is the Democratic Leader (now 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 ~{!0~}has gone from underdog to Senate~{!/~}s top dog.~{!1~}
Parade Magazine, the nation~{!/~}s largest weekly magazine, identified Senator Reid as one of a handful of leaders in Washington with ~{!0~}integrity and guts.~{!1~}
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, ~{!0~}We all respect Senator Reid. He is one of the moderate voices around here who tries to get things to work.~{!1~}
And former GOP Leader Trent Lott said, ~{!0~}Harry Reid is out there finding a solution. I enjoy working with him very much.~{!1~}
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.

INNOVATION IN TRANSPORTATION FUNDING and a proclamation
By James A. Gibbons
A proclamation: [[[ Carson City ?Governor Jim Gibbons issued the following proclamation recognizing May 14-18, 2007 as Innovation America Week.
揑nnovation America Week recognizes the importance of innovation in today抯 competitive global marketplace. The future economic vitality of our state depends upon our ability to remain at the forefront of technology, beginning with the curriculum we teach our children in school. By placing an emphasis on math, science, and technology, we can better prepare our children for a highly specialized and technical job market,?said Governor Gibbons. (From an e-mail by The Office of Governor to WBTI on May 14, 2007.) ]]]
I ran for governor and I took office promising to do everything within my power not to raise your taxes. I have stood firm in this commitment.
One of Nevada抯 greatest challenges over the next decade will be finding money to pay for road construction. Clogged transportation arteries threaten our commerce and our quality of life, especially in southern Nevada, where new residents and new visitors bring thousands of additional cars every month.
Others have proposed meeting this challenge with new taxes. I reject that proposal, not only because it violates my commitment not to raise taxes, but also because the 搒olution?of additional taxes would only add to the problems by further threatening our commerce and eroding our quality of life.
Yesterday on the Capitol steps in Carson City and today at the Highway Patrol抯 Southern Command Traffic Management Center in Las Vegas, I unveiled a plan to raise more money for transportation梬ithout raising taxes. My plan relies on the reallocation of a fraction of the growth we project in existing taxes, such as the hotel room tax, vehicle sales tax and live entertainment tax. For example, 1.5 percent of future Clark County room tax would be reallocated to road construction in Clark County, where tourist traffic contributes to gridlock. It does no good to bring more visitors here if they have a bad experience because our transportation system can抰 accommodate them.
Growth must pay for growth. Not only do tourists deserve a pleasant visit, but Nevadans deserve safe and convenient trips to work, to the grocery store and to drive their children to school.
Not everyone will like this plan, but I believe it is fair and it will work. Through the use of bonds, my proposal is projected to raise about $2.5 billion for statewide road projects over the next eight years. I believe it is the right thing for Nevadans, because it takes a giant step toward solving our transportation problems厀ithout raising taxes. I remain committed to providing essential state services, while holding the line on taxes. [From an e-mail by The Office of Governor on May 11, 2007.]

The most recent statement by U. S. Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez on the President's Advisory Commission on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders' Report to the President
By Jennifer Kung
The following information has been sent by Jimmy D. Lee, Managing Director of US Asian Business Council, to Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) in the afternoon on May 14, 2007 from New York, NY:
[[[FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 11, 2007
CONTACT OFFICE OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS
(202) 482-4883]]]
WASHINGTON -U.S. Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez released the following statement today following the transmittal of two reports to the President from the President's Advisory Commission on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and the Interagency Working Group on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI). The reports provide recommendations on economic opportunities for AAPI-owned businesses and examine Federal Government programs to support the AAPI business community.*1
"I commend Chairman Rudy Pamintuan of the President's Advisory Commission on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders for his leadership in examining the current economic participation of the AAPI-owned businesses in our free market economy. I wish to thank Commissioner and Chair of the Report Committee Joseph Melookaran and the Commission for their hard work and for compiling this report to the President.
"Through entrepreneurship and innovation, Asian American and Pacific Islanders are playing a major role in strengthening our economy, growing jobs and keeping America competitive. The latest jobs report shows the U.S. economy continued to create jobs for the 44th straight month. In April, the U.S. economy added 88,000 new jobs, unemployment is low at 4.5 percent and even lower for Asian Americans at 3.3 percent (not seasonally adjusted).
"President Bush recognizes that minority entrepreneurship is key to future growth in the United States. Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are making significant contributions to our economy. Most recent numbers from the Census Bureau show that 1.1 million Asian American-owned businesses in 2002 jumped 24 percent from 1997, twice the rate of increase of the national average for all businesses.
"Asian American and Pacific Islanders are making their mark in all walks of life, including business, law, politics, education, community service, the arts and science. As Chair of the Interagency Working Group, we will continue to fully support the AAPI community through federal programs and remain committed to strengthening economic opportunities to help Asian/Pacific Americans achieve the American dream. I look forward to reviewing both reports." *2

Not just another Day (2 Peter 3)
A Sermon on lifestyle evangelism (ST104OL) ]]]
Introduction
It was just another day. I was in my 2nd year of college at UNLV. One evening, my brother and I went to play tennis at a park. The courts were all taken. But, we saw two little Chinese teenage girls playing tennis. The man watching them told us that one of the girls is ranked and is related to an Asian sports star. After talking with us a while, he offered to let us play with the little teenage girls. I can remember the girl��s devious smile as they watched these 2 older guys coming to challenge them. We thought we were good. But we were beaten pretty badly by these little girls. Before they left us beaten and embarrassed, the man invited us to their youth group��s Christmas party. And the rest is history. We went to the youth group party and saw the love there. We started going to the youth group and the church and pretty soon we became part of the Christian family there.
God��s patience
God is patient with all of us. I became a Christian at the age of 20. Think of how patient God is to wait so long for me to come receive the gift of salvation? Can you wait 20 years to marry a girl you love? Maybe Jacob can wait 7 years and end up working 14 years for Rachel. Abraham waited 15 years for a son after God gave him the promise. How long did God wait for you? 2 Peter 3 is our text for today. Vs. 8-9 tell us, ��But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.�� God��s desire is that all will repent and believe in His Son. Does that mean everyone will believe and be saved? Do you believe those who don��t know Christ are really lost? Recently, I had a conversation with a person about this. The exclusive view that salvation is only through knowing Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is hard to talk about when we try to fit into society��s diverse views. If you were to tell people Jesus is the only way to be saved, how will people respond? Would they think you are arrogant, judgmental, and narrow-minded? John 3:18, which is rarely quoted compared to John 3:16 says ��Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God��s one and only Son.�� I know how heavy it is for this truth to really sink in. Despite how happy, successful, or nice people can be, without knowing Christ as Lord and Savior, they can��t be saved from their sins.
What is God��s promise? Jesus will come back to judge the world. Vs. 10. ��But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.�� So, how should we live since we know this will happen? What should we live for? Where should our hearts be? What should be the focus of our life?
God��s standard
What is God��s standard? Is it just to be like everyone around us? Is it just to be a little better than people around us? So, if others say 10 bad words a today, we just say 5 bad words a day. If others say 10 bad things about others a today, we just say 2 bad things about others a day. If others do 10 bad things a day, we just do 2 bad things a day. Is that enough? Would God be satisfied with this kind of living. Vs. 11-12a says, ��Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming�� According to the Barna research group, ��The Concept of Holiness Baffles Most Americans�� Overall, three out of every four adults (73%) believe that it is possible for someone to become holy, regardless of their past. Only half of the adult population (50%), however, says that they know someone they consider to be holy. And that��s more than twice as many who consider themselves to be holy (21%). The views of born again Christians are not much different from the national averages. Among born again adults, three-quarters (76%) say it is possible for a person to become holy, regardless of their past. Slightly more than half of the born again group (55%) say they know someone who they would describe as holy. And roughly three out of ten born agains (29%) say they are holy, which is marginally more than the national norm. When pressed to describe what it means to be holy, adults gave a wide range of answers. The most common reply was "I don��t know," offered by one out of every five adults (21%). Other responses fell into categories such as "being Christ-like" (19%), making faith your top priority in life (18%), living a pure or sinless lifestyle (12%), and having a good attitude about people and life (10%). Other response categories included focusing completely on God (9%), being guided by the Holy Spirit (9%), being born again (8%), reflecting the character of God (7%), exhibiting a moral lifestyle (5%), and accepting and practicing biblical truth (5%). Once again, the responses of born again and non-born again adults were virtually identical. Pointing to data from several of his recent surveys on spiritual maturity in the U.S., Barna noted, "To initiate the education of people regarding holiness, we must arrest their attention and teach its importance. To align their hearts with the notion of being holy, we must move them away from a ��cheap grace�� theology and replace people��s self-absorption with focus on God and His ways. To help them pursue holiness, we must help them comprehend and accept biblical theology regarding God, Satan, the purposes of life on earth, the nature of spiritual transformation and maturity, and the necessity of bearing spiritual fruit." (http://www.barna.org/FlexPage.aspx?Page=BarnaUpdate&BarnaUpdateID=219)
How can you speed the coming of the Lord? By living holy and godly lives. Why? If all Christian live according to the commands of Christ, we would be better witnesses to the world. Do you think being better witnesses to the world will have an impact on people coming to Christ? Think of how many godly people God used to help you in your journey to know Christ? Think of all the missionaries who went all over the world to share the love of Christ? Then, think of how many non-Christian you know who complain about the hypocrisy of Christians and the church �C present and past. No matter what we say to them, their mind is made up. They don��t like the hypocrisy among Christians. They like Christ, but not what they see in Christianity. What I want to talk about today is lifestyle evangelism. We live as Christ��s witnesses, in holy fear of God, looking forward to His coming. Vs. 14 ��So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him. ��
God��s salvation
Why is God taking so long to come back? What is His purpose? Vs. 15 tell us ��Bear in mind that our Lord��s patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him.�� We don��t know when Jesus will come back. But we know that everyday he is not back yet is another day that someone can come to Christ. We must remember that everything is a day of salvation, not just special Sundays or special outreach. Each Saturday we are at the Carrollton Supermarket passing out flyers from 3:30-5pm. I hope you can come join us. How many times in a week you can invite strangers to church? You never know if someone who never went to a church comes by, sees us and started asking questions. People are looking for the meaning of life. As someone has said we have ��a God shaped vacuum in our hearts��. Ecclesiastes 3:11 says: ��He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fanthom what God has done from beginning to end.�� People may not know all of the bible, but God created them with a sense of eternity. They hoped at the end of life that this is not the end. There��s more to it. Deep inside, we know there��s more to life than eating and drinking and working. The Heavenly Father��s purpose is that we may come to our senses and be restored to a relationship with Him.
Two years ago, when we were on the mission trip in Taiwan, we were eating at a restaurant. It was small family owned restaurant. They had a dog in the back too. I guess he eats all the leftovers. It was a beef soup noodle place. So, we were just sitting there, enjoying the meal, talking and laughing. The husband owner found out we are Christians. Before we left, this elderly man humbly admits to us that he needs Jesus. We scheduled a time to go visit him. I didn��t go on that visit. But I heard he wept and accepted Christ when we shared with him the gospel. He said when he heard us laughing and talking, he has never seen such a happy group of people before. So, just being who we are fellowshipping in Christ has a powerful attractive force to the world. I remember how I was attracted to the love among members of the youth group when before I was a Christian. Last year when we were in that restaurant again, we met a young man and he also accepted Christ when we shared with him. Was it a coincidence? Are you willing to believe that God can do all things? Is there something that is hard for you to believe God can do? Are you praying and watching for God to do something everyday?
Conclusion
We see today that God��s patience shows His desire is that all can come to repentance and know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. We see God��s standard for us is to live holy and godly lives. Our lives are part of God��s plan to save the world. Finally, we see how great is God��s salvation. How patient God is willing to endure our unbelief until we repent. How patient God is for us Christians to repent and live according to His ways. How He wants us to live in such a way that we can truly be witnesses for Christ. Let us not waste each Day of Salvation that the Lord gives to us. Let us pursue the holy calling and holy living of God. Let��s pray.

Home by Thanksgiving
I'm proud of the opportunities I've had to challenge and educate students for three decades!
By Dr. Dina Titus
Dear Tony,
In this era of unprecedented military deployments and heavy use of the states' National Guard units, the Nevada Army and Air National Guard can stand tall, and every Nevadan is deeply grateful to each member of the Guard and his/her family.
But it's time to bring our citizen soldiers home.
Today, Nevada has 300 men and women of our National Guard deployed in Iraq. Over the course of this conflict, about 1500 guardsmen have served there for some length of time. Two have made the ultimate sacrifice, giving their lives for our great country, and 200 have been injured in the line of duty.
You can join us in this call to action by heading to my website, www.dinatitus.com - there you can add your name and join us in calling for the return of our National Guard units.
As part of the armed forces of the United States, the Guard holds a special place in our country's military structure. Unless called to duty by the federal government, the Guard is part of the Nevada Office of the Military and its civilian commander is the Governor. Join us in asking him to exercise that function and bring our men and women home by Thanksgiving.
----------
Appreciating our educators
Yesterday, May 8, was Teacher Appreciation Day in Nevada. This year marks 30 years for me as a teacher, and I wouldn't have missed a single one of those years for the world.
My classes are never easy, and I'm proud of the opportunities I've had to challenge and educate students for three decades.
The Nevada Legislature took the time to recognize the impact that teachers have on the future of our state and our children and honor the men and women who have chosen education as their career. We owe them a deep debt of gratitude. Check my website for remarks made at the awards banquet of the Clark County Education Association honoring outstanding teachers and students.
As always, I appreciate your being here and welcome to all of our new members who have signed up recently! I look forward to writing you again soon.
Sincerely,
Dina Titus
Nevada Senate Minority Leader

No-New-Taxes Transportation Plan Unveiled
By Bob Beers
I was pleased to work with a group of legislators and Governor Gibbons over the past three months to try and understand Nevada's transportation "crisis" - and to come up with a common-sense solution to the crisis. That plan was released today, and will likely be in the news tonight and tomorrow. What follows is my own commentary on the plan, revealing opinions not neccesarily shared by all of the people who worked on the Republican proposal.
The Crisis
I have come to the conclusion Nevada's roads "crisis" is exaggerated.
There is no doubt we have some highway construction challenges. Three big ones are:
Nevada's gas tax, levied in pennies-per-gallon rather than as a percentage, loses purchasing power to inflation year after year. Our cost of road construction naturally inflates with America's paper-backed federal monetary system, but our gas tax proceeds do not. To put it another way, the percentage of your gasoline fill-ups that goes to fund highway construction has been steadily shrinking for more than a decade.
Under Governor Guinn's management, Nevada has gone on a borrowing spree. When he started as Governor, only a small portion of our highway fund income was used to pay down our debts. Today, a large portion of our highway fund income goes to pay our debts. In Guinn's defense, he went on this borrowing spree while interest rates were at their lowest, and allowed Nevada to spend money on road projects much faster than our population has been growing.
Governor Gibbons inherited a Nevada Department of Transportation that was unleashed and out of control. The Legislature ordered an audit in 2003, which Governor Guinn vetoed without explanation. The agency had stopped performing FHWA-prescribed "Benefit-Cost Analysis" to prioritize projects in 1995 because the process's results differed with the increasingly political prioritization of projects taking place at DOT.
Governor Gibbons almost immediately upon taking office appointed a new director of the Department of Transportation who has vowed to fix the agency, return transparency and accountability to it, and re-institute "Benefit-Cost Analysis."
The False Crisis
Governor Guinn created a "Blue-Ribbon Commission" on transportation a few years ago. This group met a number of times over the past two years, and issued a report finding that Nevada had a "$3.8-billion deficit" in road construction. Their report included a list of 10 superprojects to support this "deficit" and a recommendation for tax hikes.
Also, during this legislative session, radio ads have run in both ends of the state, urging citizens to contact their legislators to demand that taxes be raised to solve the "crisis" described by the Blue Ribbon Commission.
However, with the exception of employees of the road construction companies who paid for the radio ads, very few Nevadans have sent in emails demanding taxes be raised to fund more road construction contracts.
And new information on the Blue Ribbon Commission report has cast its conclusions in a dim light:
It turns out almost half of the Blue Ribbon Commission's members (6 of 14) work for local governments in Nevada. On the surface, this makes sense - they're closest to where the rubber meets the road, so to speak - but the Commission immediately banned discussing the most sensible funding solution, local government cost-sharing.
The list of ten project is not well thought out. It includes at least one project that a very recent "Benefit-Cost Analysis" report says has a negative ratio, meaning the project should not be built at all - much less would create a crisis by not building it. This corroborates my early criticism of the Commission's list of "crisis" projects.
The Blue Ribbon Commission's entire report must now be viewed with a very critical eye, understanding that it was guided by DOT personnel who included a list of "crisis" projects that included at least one inappropriate project, and whose seminal conclusion (that we have an unfunded deficit requiring tax hikes to solve) may well be faulty.
What to do?
I am not sure we need an immediate response to this "crisis". It appears contrived by folks interested in things other than moving Nevadans comfortably from point A to point B. But I could be wrong.
That's why I was proud to stand behind Governor Gibbons today while he outlined his plan to spend a bunch more money building roads, without raising taxes.

U. S. Senator John Ensign has worked and achieved on legislation that addressed critical education needs and promoted basic research in math, science and technology

***** If there is anything that a man can do well, I say let him do it. Give him a chance. ---Abraham Lincoln

The following are some paragraphs of the most recent Press Release from the Office of Senator John Ensign on May 11, 2007:

"In a continuing effort to improve security and services for Nevada's airports, Senators Harry Reid and John Ensign announced today that they have secured nearly $11 million in funding for the Reno/Tahoe International Airport," stated the Press on last Friday.

"Tourism is an integral part of Nevada's economy," said Reid. "This grant will improve air travel for both residents and visitors. It is critical our airports continue to receive important funding like this. I will continue to work to enhance security and services for travelers flying in and out of the Reno area."

"This funding is essential to helping the Reno Airport accommodate the growth of Reno, Sparks and other local communities," said Ensign. "These necessary infrastructure improvements to the Reno Airport will help continue the economic success in the surrounding region." *1

On May 9, 2007 it reported that, "Experts link high prices to production shortages that can be traced to a continued lack of refining capacity. A new refinery has not been built in America since 1976 because of high costs and bureaucratic red tape, which further increases our reliance on foreign oil. Diversifying our energy supply is also a critical component to a comprehensive plan, including environmentally safe exploration of Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge."

It is our pleasure to post the following information by "The Press Release of Senator Ensign" on April 25, 2007 from the Office of U. S. Senator John Ensign in Washington, D. C.:

ENSIGN WORKS TO KEEP AMERICA COMPETITIVE
America COMPETES Act Passes Senate

Washington, D.C. - Today the United States Senate passed legislation that addresses critical education needs and promotes basic research in math, science and technology. As Chairman of the Commerce Subcommittee on Technology, Innovation and Competitiveness last Congress, Ensign played a leading role in drafting the America COMPETES Act.

"America needs a boost in math, science, technology and engineering," said Ensign, who is now the Ranking Member on the Science, Technology and Innovation Subcommittee. "Even though we've always led the way in innovation, without this bill we risk losing our competitive edge to China and India."

The America COMPETES Act puts us on a path to remain competitive throughout the 21st Century by doubling the funding for the National Science Foundation and strengthening educational opportunities in math, science and engineering. Competitive grants to help struggling students in mathematics will be available, and states interested in establishing or expanding specialty schools in math and science will receive assistance.

"I'm a fiscal conservative, but the dollars we invest in basic research will come back to us in spades in terms of stimulating economic activity and helping the United States remain at the forefront of global innovation," Ensign said on the floor of the Senate during debate today.

Last year Senator Ensign was tapped by the Senate Majority Leader to coordinate the efforts of several Senate committees - Commerce; Energy; and Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) - in order to craft the America COMPETES Act. [Wednesday, April 25, 2007] *2

John's wife, Darlene, encouraged him into his first political race for Congress. Earned a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Colorado State University in 1995, his scholarstic and gentle appearance has won him lots of applause and respect from knowledgeable ladies and gentlemen in educational events and social activities.

"In the first paragraph of this column on September 15, it stated that on September 7, U. S. Senate Candidate John Ensign wrote: "Please accept my best wishes as you come together in celebration of the Thai Performaning Arts, Appreciation Day 2000. The importance of sharing culture through art and festivities that bring people together serves to enhance all of us more by enriching our lives with the diversity of people and their customs. I especially would like to extend my appreciation to Dr. Tony T. Lei for his commitment and enthusiantic support of the Thai Performing Arts." He accepted Dr. Tony T. Lei's invitation as a Guest Speaker to talk about protecting Social Security and Medicare for our Nevadan seniors at a Forum held by Seniors United. He believes that America must honor its word to seniors," reported the Nevada Examiner.*5

"On October 15, John attended the worship service of the Liberty Baptist Church. He offered a short speech of testifmony. He said that he was so frustrated of his first time to taste political failure, when he lost by a mere 428 votes to U. S. Senator Harry Reid. He believes God. He has surrenderring his fate to God. As a born-again Christian, people has inspired of his sincererity, humbleness, and credibility much more than just of his appearance now. In the Pastor Teis' meeting Office, John agreed with Dr. Tony T. Lei that WBTI would honor him as Advisor (effective on 10/17) and Vice Chairman (effective on 11/08 when elected as Senator) of its Advisory Board. If a window was closed, God might re-open the window or even open a door for the people who is eager to utilize his or her knowledge and expertise to serve. The matter is that we should believe God. Congretulations! Republican U. S. Senator-elect Honorable John Ensign." *6

"Since taking office, Senator Ensign has worked hard and fulfilled his promises to the people of Nevada. His Education High Growth Grant amendment, which brings tens of millions of extra dollars to Nevada schools, was included in the education bill signed into law by President Bush," pointed out the bio for U. S. Senator John Ensign.*7

"Senator Ensign~{!/~}s commitment to the environment also resulted in the enactment of the Ensign-Reid Clark County Lands Bill which protects environmentally sensitive areas in southern Nevada, allows recreational opportunities to continue, and improves the quality of life for all citizens. Thanks to Ensign~{!/~}s leadership, similar land bills for White Pine and Lincoln Counties were signed into law and have provided an economic boost while preserving the pristine beauty of our state. The legislation included funding to reduce the threat of catastrophic fire in the Great Basin Area and eastern Nevada as well as protections for our valuable outdoor areas such as Lake Tahoe, the Ballardini Ranch, and the eastern Sierra."

Extended from his encouragement and inspiration to educational and community services, Senator John Ensign has been an Advisor and Vice Chairman of the Advisory Board of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) since November 8, 2000.

For Nevada, we need bright vision and enthusiasm with love and integrity. Our mutual cooperation and development between the officials and people will bring us a peaceful, happy, and healthy community!

Carson City - To further encourage the production of renewable energy in Nevada, Governor Jim Gibbons has established a Nevada Renewable Energy Transmission Access Advisory Committee and named its 14 members. The governor created the committee through executive order today.*1
�Renewable energy development is good for Nevada and good for the nation,?said Governor Gibbons. �Much of Nevada's renewable energy resources are located away from the grid. In order for companies to locate in Nevada and develop our renewable energy resources, we need to ensure they have access to the transmission infrastructure that will allow them to bring their energy to the marketplace.
The Advisory Committee will report directly to the governor by December 31st, 2007. Its members will work with the governor�s energy advisor, Dr. Hatice Gecol. It is Governor Gibbons?third executive order furthering the cause of renewable energy in Nevada.
�It is great to see our Governor getting directly involved in and supporting the development of our renewable energy resources. I am looking forward to working with the committee to develop our renewable energy resources,?said Gecol.
The committee includes representation from the key industries and interest groups that will work together to further that development. The 14 members are:
? Daniel (Dan) Schochet, Vice President, Ormat (chair)
? Carolyn Barbash, transmission executive, Sierra Pacific and Nevada Power (vice chair)
? Jeneane Harter, president, HiTech Communications (vice chair)
? Marion Barritt, director, American Solar Energy Society
? Tim Carlson, president/CEO, Powered by Renewables
? Gilbert Cohen, senior vice president, Acciona Solar Power
? Thomas Fair, renewable energy executive, Nevada Power and Sierra Pacific
? Joseph Greco, vice president, western region, Caithness Energy
? Erin Iping Kuo, director, Next Generation Etak and president of the Board of Directors, Nevada EcoNet
? Dr. Raj Mehta, deputy director, Nevada State Office of Energy
? Christy Morris, Oil, Gas and Geothermal Program manager, Nevada Division of Minerals
? Rebecca Wagner, commissioner, Public Utilities Commission of Nevada
? Gary Wayne, director of strategic projects, SunPower Corporation
? Brian Whalen, transmission planning manager, Nevada Power and Sierra Pacific
�I applaud Governor Gibbons for taking this important step toward bringing our State�s abundant renewable resources to the utility grid. The availability of transmission access will keep more of our energy dollars in our state and provide a buffer to help insulate our consumers from volatile and often increasing fossil fuel prices,?said Chairman Schochet.*3
