"On March 23, 2006, through the recommendations of our faculty members, including District Court Judge Cheryl Moss and Nevada Assemblywoman Valerie Weber, Mr. Pengju Li was appointed as an Adjunct Instructor of the Culture Institution(CI) and Chairman of the Nevada Asian Art Research Committee of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI)." The announcement was made by Dr. John Wang, Spokesman for WBTI, on March 28, 2006, in Las Vegas, Nevada.*3
Upon learning of his distinguished appointment, Mr. Pengju Li expressed, "It is truly an honor to be appointed as an Instructor of the Culture Institution of Washington Business and Technology Institute. As Chairman of the Nevada Asian Art Research Committee of WBTI, I intend to utilize my best efforts and wisdom to promote professionalism, enhance community relations, and to continue WBTI's mission in engaging in projects and doing great things for the Asian community."
Dr. Sue Fawn Chung currently heads the leadership of the Culture Institution of Washington Business and Technology Institute. Dr. Chung is now an Associate Professor of the Department of History, University of Nevada Las Vegas UNLV. She was formerly the Department of History's Chairperson. Dr. Chung has been an Fellow and Director of the Culture Institution of WBTI since September 17, 2001.
Pengju Li is a talented and gifted artist. He has the soul of a true Asian. Mr. Li graduated from the Peking Fine Arts University, and later he became an Instructor within the same school.
According to the website www.AsianSoulArt.com, Mr. Li's life and works is described as follows, "During his school years, Pengju had an opportunity to study art from all over the world. He studied all the Western artistic masters, and he was greatly influenced by famous artists such as Rembrandt and Jean-Aguste Ingres. At the same time, he
also studied 19th century Impressionism and 20th century Modern Art. Pengju was fascinated by the Impressionists' use of color and brushstroke, as well as the modern artists' use of point, line, and surface. His study of the past masters shaped and nourished his creativity."
"Over the last decade, he has refined his artistic style. His paintings exhibit a time of splendor and elegance with a contemporary twist. His unique style consists of dramatic figures full of bright colors, strong brushstrokes, and two-dimensional spaces. It is a beautiful combination of Western techniques with ancient oriental subjects."*4
In May 1994, Pengju Li's painting "Home" won the first prize in 1994 China Oil Paintings Exhibition.
"Mr. Li, Peng Ju is a young oil painting artist with great influence in China. His paintings has been exhibited extentensively in the world, such as in Hong Kong, Singapore, Macao and Canada and has won many awards and prizes. Many of his paintings has been collected by artist organization and collectors in the world. In 1996 and 1997, Mr Li's paintings were selected to attend China Art Exposition, the biggest and the most influential art exhibition in China. And in 1996 China Art Exposition, his oil painting won "New Talent and New Piece Prize". And in 1997 China Art Exposition, his oil paintings were selected into a VCD and the VCD was released and distributed extensively via radio, television and newspaper," stated China Art Exposition Organization Committee in a letter of recommendation.
Pengju always says: "I like to use everyone's drawing strong points, and I never stop improving myself".
Pengju's biographical information in www.AsianSoulArt.com also states that his primary focus is oil painting. His paintings reflect an influence from both the East and the West due to the fact that he studied styles from Western Europe and the Asian Pacific Rim. His early works include a group of paintings that were based on subjects found in ancient Beijing China. These paintings were comprised of Quadrangle Gardens built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, old temples, old doors, old alleys, as well as, Beijing's people. Under his brushstrokes, those paintings came to life. They were exhibited in Hong Kong and China. After this exhibition, Pengju became well known and well a respected artist in China.
In may 1, 1996, Pengju Li was appointed as a Consultant of Art Center, China Artists Association. He was invited to be a judge of China International Famous Artists' Pieces Exhibition at the same time.
Pengju believes that to truly create a masterful painting, one must paint what one knows and feels. To truly create fine works of art, the approach must be a pure representation of the artist's ideas and emotions.*5
The two outstanding paintings by Pengju Li are performed at the 6th and 7th flier on the 2nd page of the section of "Asian Soul Arts". This arrangement is for the best of its readiability. To access them, please hit the page [2] on the top left box of the above section.

An Open Letter to Karl Rove
By Office of U. S. Representative Shelley Berkley
(Washington, DC -- February 9, 2007) Congresswoman Shelley Berkley (D-NV) today released the following open letter to White House Political Advisor Karl Rove in response to his reported statement that the reason the U.S. needs a guest worker program is that he doesn�t want to see his 17-year-old son have to �pick tomatoes or make beds in Las Vegas.� *1
February 9, 2007
Dear Mr. Rove:
National Review On-line quoted you as saying recently that the reason we need a guest worker program is that you don�t want your 17-year-old son picking tomatoes or making beds in Las Vegas (Not Our Kind of People, Mark Krikorian, 2.9.07).
Your remarks insinuate that physical labor is only for people you see as lower class, and beneath the dignity of those born into privilege.
Growing up in Las Vegas, my father put food on the table and a roof over our heads by waiting tables at a local resort. Because of his hard work, my sister and I were both able to graduate college and to find our own piece of the American dream.
Making beds in Las Vegas for a living may not provide the perks you are accustomed to as a senior White House staffer, but on average, these jobs pay good wages and in most cases, offer affordable healthcare coverage and other benefits.
In the future I hope that you will think twice before demeaning the jobs of hard working Nevadans and others like them all across the nation who are the backbone of our economy. Unlike you, they may never get to travel the world or take home a big salary courtesy of the American taxpayer, but these men and women know the meaning of hard work and the value of a day�s pay. I urge you to respect honest work, not denigrate it.*2
Sincerely,
Shelley Berkley
Member of Congress

Yucca Mountain Costs Continue To Soar As Berkley Questions Growing Price Tag For Proposed Nuke Dump
DOE Secretary Says $20 Billion Now Projected in Construction Costs Alone
By Office of U. S. Representative Shelley Berkley
(Washington, DC -- February 9, 2007) In response to an admission by Secretary of Energy Samuel Bodman that the cost of building the proposed Yucca Mountain repository has now ballooned to $20 billion, and that the total price tag for the project will exceed existing projections in the $60 billion range, Congresswoman Shelley Berkley (D-NV) today issued the following statement:
"When it comes to Yucca Mountain two things are certain: the price tag only grows larger and the delays only grow longer. Now President Bush�s Secretary of Energy is admitting that the cost to build Yucca Mountain has increased to more than $20 billion, and that�s without a single penny to operate the dump once it�s open. Will Yucca Mountain�s total cost exceed $100 billion, $200 billion? The sky�s the limit when it comes to building Yucca Mountain. Secretary Bodman freely admits he has no idea what the final cost for Yucca Mountain will actually be. At the same time, the supposed date by which Yucca Mountain will open has again been pushed back, this time to 2020 or beyond. As a nation, we have already spent more than $10 billion on a hole in the Nevada desert and it is long past time we quit shoveling bundles of cash into this fiscal abyss. On-site storage of nuclear waste is safe for the next 100 years, costs a small fraction of what we could spend at Yucca Mountain and avoids the danger of an accident or terrorist incident involving shipments of radioactive waste.� *1
Berkley�s statement comes in response to reports by the Dow Jones News Service and other media outlets that Energy Secretary Bodman informed Members of Congress Thursday that the costs for construction of Yucca Mountain will reach $20 billion, up from the previously estimated $12-13 billion. Bodman also acknowledged the fact that cost estimates for the project are badly outdated, saying, �Frankly, I think that all of the numbers that have been around for five years are going to increase because we've had delays,� while adding, �it's going to be more costly to accomplish what we want to accomplish.� (Talley, Dow Jones, 2.8.07).
Cost estimates completed on the Yucca Mountain Project in 2002 pegged the price of the proposed nuclear waste dump at nearly $60 billion over the lifetime of the facility. No new cost estimates from DOE have been made available, despite recent requests from Congress for new figures.*2

Two new health bills to improve health care in Nevada
By Harry M. Reid*1
Dear Friends,
Providing quality heath care for all Nevadans is a critical issue. I am committed to helping Nevadans receive the best health care possible. That is why this week I introduced two bills to improve health care in our state. One bill addresses Nevada �s physician shortage and the other focuses on advancing breast cancer research.
Nevada faces a serious shortage of doctors, largely because of the state�s fast-growing population. The Resident Physician Shortage Reduction Act of 2007 addresses that shortage by increasing the number of Medicare-supported physician residency training positions in teaching hospitals.
The thought behind the legislation is pretty simple: Doctors who are trained in Nevada stay in Nevada . Increasing the number of doctors who are trained in our state should lead to an increase in the number of doctors who stay here permanently. Nevada currently has 199 physicians in training, and would be eligible for an additional 93 positions under the bill. It is my priority to make sure that our medical infrastructure grows in conjunction with the population so that all Nevadans have access to a doctor when they need one.
Another important bill I introduced is the Breast Cancer and Environmental Research Act of 2007. This bill provides funding for researchers to analyze the possible links between the environment and breast cancer, and will also establish a national research strategy on this issue so that promising research opportunities are not missed.
I have been working since 2000 to pass bipartisan legislation to ensure scientists have the resources they need to investigate environmental factors that may be related to breast cancer. Reintroducing this bill will bring us one step closer to more thoroughly examining environmental factors connected to breast cancer, and will be a source of hope for women and families throughout Nevada who are currently struggling with this illness.
I remain committed to expanding and improving health care across our great state. I will continue my efforts to ensure that there are enough physicians to serve Nevada�s growing population, that scientists have the resources they need to conduct revolutionary research, and that every Nevadan has access to quality and affordable health care.
My best wishes to you,
Senator Harry Reid

*1. About Senator Harry Reid (a concise one by the Editor of this flier.) Harry M. Reid is the Democratic Leader (now Majority Leader) in the U.S. Senate, 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.

Dear Tony,
I'm watching from my window today--from an office situated in a fouth-floor corner of Thornton Administrative Center--and see the future arriving, car by car. This is indeed a strategic vantage point, for from it I witness a pride-filled pilgrimage as parents bring their children to campus, their dreams packed in overstuffed duffels; a few telltale signs of trepidation on their faces. Image with me that in four years, these students will join YOUR ranks...as Pepperdine alumni.*1
This is a favorite season for me, and I write you to share a slice of the excitement we feel on the eve of a new academic year. It's my sith as president, and there is much for which I am thankful. As one of our more than 70,000 living graduates, you represent a distinguished "point of pride" that sets us apart and in many cases lifts Pepperdine into the upper echelon of America's best independent universities.*2
...........................................
[[[Andrew K. Benton became the seventh president of Pepperdine University on July 1, 2000. Benton, who served as executive vice president of the University since 1991, was selected after a nationwide search that included 40 nominees and interviews of several candidates by faculty, staff, students, alumni and administrators.
A 1974 graduate of Oklahoma Christian University, Benton earned his bachelor of science degree in American Studies, and served as assistant to the president of that institution from 1975 to 1984. He earned his law degree from Oklahoma City University School of Law in 1979 and practiced law in the state of Oklahoma. He came to Pepperdine in 1984 and worked in several key leadership roles during his tenure, including vice president for administration and vice president for university affairs. In addition, he has taught both undergraduate and graduate classes at the university.
Benton is presently on the Board of Directors for The Employers Group of California, the Executive Committee for the West Coast Conference, and is a member of the American Bar Association and the Oklahoma Bar Association.]]]*3
The letter is in full of the recent accomplishments of Pepperdine and Andrew's close concern to the alumni of Pepperdine. President Benton concluded the letter that "Meanwhile, will I see you at the Hollywood Bowl on September 23 for our Alumni Picnic and Concert? Please let me greet you and your family. The SPRIT OF PLACE that abides at Pepperdine remains a beacon from this campus to our alumni around the world. The stream of arriving students continues outside my window. And YOU, as the foundation of the future of this precious place called PEPPERDINE, remain in my prayers."

Dr. Andrew K. Benton has served in higher education for nearly 30 years. He planned for a career as an attorney or probate judge in his hometown, and focused his education toward those interests. The desire to work with young people in their own pursuit of higher education was strong and he, instead, followed a career path that led to his current role as the seventh president of Pepperdine University. He assumed that position on June 16, 2000.
Benton received his bachelor of science in American Studies from Oklahoma Christian University and went on to earn the juris doctor degree from Oklahoma City University School of Law. He was admitted to the Oklahoma State Bar in 1979 and later to practice before Federal Courts. For ten years, Benton served in various administrative roles at his undergraduate alma mater. From 1979 until 1983 he also maintained a private law practice in the State of Oklahoma.*3
The letter is in full of the recent accomplishments of Pepperdine and Andrew's close concern to the alumni of Pepperdine. President Benton concluded the letter that "Meanwhile, will I see you at the Hollywood Bowl on September 23 for our Alumni Picnic and Concert? Please let me greet you and your family. The SPRIT OF PLACE that abides at Pepperdine remains a beacon from this campus to our alumni around the world. The stream of arriving students continues outside my window. And YOU, as the foundation of the future of this precious place called PEPPERDINE, remain in my prayers."

Meet Chief Justice A. William Maupin of the Nevda Supreme Court
By Jennifer Kung
"Jim Gibbons took the oath of office at midnight, becoming Nevada�s 29th governor. He immediately appointed Phillip A. Galeoto director of the Department of Public Safety and announced that Lawrence J. Martines would become director of Homeland Security. Nevada Chief Justice A. William Maupin administered the oath of office in the living room of Gibbons� home in Reno, with a small gathering of Gibbons� friends, advisors and supporters looking on," released a press by the Office of Nevada Governor on January 1, 2007.*1
By the time Justice A. William Maupin was appointed to the District Court bench in Clark County in 1993, his legal career had already spanned 22 years in both the public and private sectors. While he handled murder cases as a public defender, he eventually focused on major civil litigation as a partner in the law firm of Thorndal, Backus, Maupin and Armstrong. Justice Maupin was retained as a district judge by popular election in 1994 and elected to the Supreme Court in 1996 and 2002. His term ends in January 2009.*2 Bill Maupin was one term as Chief Justice of the Nevada Supreme Court.
A graduate of the University of Nevada, Reno and University of Arizona Law School, Justice Maupin dedicated much of his professional life to improving the justice system. He was chairman of the Nevada Supreme Court committee on Alternate Dispute Resolution from 1992 to 1996, and is considered to have been a driving force behind the judicial system's successful arbitration program. He served four years on the board of governors of the State Bar of Nevada and was chairman of a Supreme Court study committee to review judicial elections. In1986-1987, he served as president of the Defense Trial Lawyer's of Nevada and on the boards of directors of Nevada Legal Services and Clark County Legal Services.*3
In 1997, Justice Maupin was honored with the Roger D. Foley Professionalism Award and was named in Who's Who in America.
In 2002, Bill Maupin was named Fellow of Public Administration Institution and Co-Chairmen of Clark County District Attorney and Police Civil Commision (CCDAPCC) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) by WBTI.*4
"It's my great honor to be named by President Dr. Tony Lei as a Fellow of Public Administration Institution and the Honorary Chairman of Clark County District and Police Civil Commission (CCDAPCC) of Washington Business and Technolgy Institute (WBTI)," pointed out the Chief Justice of Nevada Supreme Court William Maupin in the Celebration Party to "Nevada Examiner" and "Reviewjournal.com" at the Steak House of Binion's Horseshoe Club, Las Vegas on October 10, 2002. The Party was held by WBTI to celebrate Chief Justice William Maupin's being appointed as its Fellow of the Public Administration Institution (PAI) and as its Honorary Chairman of the Clark County District Attorney and Police Civil Commission (CCDAPCC). "Please know that I irrevocably stand by my personal commitment to diversity issues in this state and that my sense of patriotism and faith in America stems from its embrace of that diversity." *5.

Modern stratagem and to forge an effective relationship with those above you
By Tiffany Chang
***** The ultimate responsibility of a leader is to facilitate other people's development as well as his own. ---Fred Pryor
Leadership does not necessarily exit only in the top ladder. We could feel it from many places. People may extend his or her leadeship in a mutual existance. Anyone who can bring us with a positive and effective idea and plan and give others a breakthrough with inspiration for their difficult circumstances may be treated as a leader.
To find a potential and good leader and to inspire and build up him or her is a valuable and important thing.
"MANAGING UP shows what you can learn when you keep your eyes and ears open and happen to work for/with a terrif boss. Great lessons for leaders here, managing up, down, and sideways," said Warren Bennis, Distinguished Professor of Business at the University of South Carolina about the book written by Rosanne Badowski in 2003. The book is entitled "How to Forge an Effective Relationship with Those Above You."
The Chairman of Chinese American Academic Association of Nevada, Dr. Tony T. Lei, received by air mail on February 22, 1997 a book named "Modern Stratagem" The book was written and sent by Professor Tu Lin.
In the preface, Dr. Ko-wang Mei pointed out that: It is the person who uses stratagem to face problem and chellenge and to integrate a project or principle for processing of problem solving. Most of famous stratagems in the human history were used on politics and military. From its broad significance, in order for a person to successful both in production and human relations, he or she needs stratagem to attain his or her objectives. The Chinese idiom of "Action after taking stratagem" may show the good understanding of the above meaning.
The book entitled "Modern Stratagem" was written by a Chinese, while the book entitled "How to Forge an Effective Relationship with Those Above You" is written by an American. The latter talks about "Managing Up" in a business. The following are some of its principles:
Principles of Managing Up
"* Managing is not the exclusive property of MBA grads.
* At times we are all managers, and we are all support staff; managers have to roll up their sleeves and get in the trenches.
* Those who manage up have to think--and act-- like managers.
* A good managers is a student of cause and effect.
* It's not good enough to be aware of what's happening around you; you have to know why it's happening.
* If you're not helping, you're hindering.
* Ask yourself: Did the work I performed today help achieve a goal?
Common Sense Takeaways
* Your boss's agenda comes first. Period.
* When those above you win, you win.
* It's people! Organizations don't run on money, products, or procedures.
* Trust your instincts-- they are based on a lot of experience. Then again, don't always trust instincts.
* Go ahead, take a swing: Better to be too bold than too timid." *1
The first of the above two books was prefaced by Dr. Ko-wang Mei, the former President of Tunghai University and now the President of Taiwan Regional Development Institute.
Dr. Mei believed that: The successful degree of a stratagem can not be depended only on individual's wisdom, knowledge,and experience. It has its team works, integrity, scientific background, and philosophic thought. Therefore, there never appears a stratagem in an emptiness. It needs deliberate planning and logic thinking. The large the area of stratagem and the deeper of the degree of a stratagem, the large and deeper the need for information collection and analysis. In the recent half of the century, it is one of the most important subject in 'The study of Administration'. In a practical and general speaking, 'stratagem' is 'decision making' in a promotional sense. In order to have a stratagem effective, efficient, and perfect, the conclusion of a stratagem should be attained through scientific collection, analysis, judgment, study of information. It is why the 'Stratagem' is an important and useful study.
Its good to have some inspiration on the findings of some of the chapters of the second book:
"Preparedness Takeaways
* By seeing thing from someone else's perspective, you'll be better able anticipate what will be needed in the future.
* Share what you know. This was the centerpiece of Jack Welch's GE. We shared ideas, best practices, and information.
People who hoard knowledge hunt the company.
*Be ready to improvise.
*Stay on top of current events, not just concerning your company but the international business community. It will help give context to what you do, and it's a good conversation starter.
Communication Takeaways
*Communication is more than a management tool--it is a catalyst for change.
*Don't be afraid to ask. And then ask again.
*Question yourself constantly; if you don't like your answers, do something about it.
*Be a loudmouth--one whose ideas and messages get spread through every level of your business.
*Nagging doesn't mean you have to be a pain in the neck--but timed correctly, it's very effective.
Teamwork Takeaways
*Celebrate--you deserve to recognize accomplishments.
*Take a central role as team member and team builder.
*Get off your pedestal--no job or task should be dismissed as unimportant or not worthy of attention.
*Share everything--information, knowledge, skills, risk." *2
The author of the first book, late Tu Lin, one of the famous scholar on stratagem, had been many years Professor and Chairman of Safety Department of the Central Police Official University in Taiwan. The author of the second, Rosanne Badowski, was an executive assistant of Jack Welch who retired from GE in September 2001 as its CEO.
"It is 'political strategy' when a stratagem is used in political affairs.It is 'war strategy' when a stratagem is used in military action. It is 'individual strategy' when a stratagem is used by personal affairs. It is 'business strategy' when a stratagem is used by business management. After the second half of 20 century, business management played a very important role around the world. The study of management emphasizes very much the importance of stratagem. Therefore, the world business is now full of the actions of 'Business Stratagem'," said Dr. Mei.*3
As a conclusion on her book, Rosanne summerized it in the following:
The Fun of Managing Up
"Over the years, people have approached me wanting to know what it was like to work for Jack Welch. Did he have some secret to success? And that's why I've tried hard to keep the "bow" of this book pointed into the wind of real life.
Was it a smooth fourteen years? No way.
Was it interesting, exhilarating, and rewarding? For sure." *4
The first book was foreworded by Jack Welch, while in the second book, Dr. Mei recommended that : The "Modern Stratagem" written by Professor Tu Lin is one of the best in the field. It can be a good reference text for persons in political affairs. It is a fine dictionary for military experts. And it can be also effectively used in business management. Finally, it is a very valuable book for an individual to use it as an electric power to brighten his or her career both in production and human relations.
Rosanne continued on her conclusion that "Under the circumstances, managing up was, for me, a survival skill mastered on the job and on the run. But it was not one based on secrets, luck, or genius. For me, managing up came right off the rack, right off the shelf, and right off a list of basic ingredients that are as commonplace as they are priceless:
Chemistry. It's what got us off to a good start and kept us going.
Trust. Trust was what our partnership was built on--and what made our partnership last.
Confidence. The key term to describe Jack--something that propelled his every action.
Impatience. It appears to be a negative, but it gave us the speed to accomplish as much as we did in limitd time.
Energy. It kept us buoyant and helped us persevere.
Resilience. The ability to keep going when a roadblock got in the way.
Humor. It made every day fun, no matter what the circumstances.
Common sense. A lifesaver when it came to tough decisions.
Preparedness. This gave us the edge to rise above the pack.
Adaptability. The ability to embrace change.
Simplicity. In other words, keeping things uncomplicated and easy to understand.
Fairness. Treating people in a way we like to be treated.
Communications. The determination to tell the world and each other what was going on.
Teamwork. It let us bring our friends along--they helped us bail out the boat when the water was rising, and they were there in the end for the party.
Passion and purpose. They are what life, and business, are all about." *5
She concluded finally that "Together, these fifteen managing-up ingredients produced an extraordinarily effective working partnership-- and a whole lot of sheer fun. Yes, there I go again--fun. If work isn't fun, there's some-thing wrong. Well-paid drudgery is still drudgery. It's painful and demeaning. By managing up you make an investment that pays a handsome dividend in satifaction and self-respect."6
Dr. Mei recommended that : The "Modern Stratagem" written by Professor Tu Lin is one of the best in the field. It can be a good reference text for persons in political affairs. It is a fine dictionary for military experts. And it can be also effectively used in business management. Finally, it is a very valuable book for an individual to use it as an electric power to brighten his or her career both in production and human relations.*7
The late Tu Lin, one of the famous scholar on stratagem, had been many years Professor and Chairman of Safety Department of the Central Police Official University in Taiwan. Dr. Ko-wang Mei, Professor Tu Lin, and Dr. Tony Lei were good friends for many years. Professor Tu was the Founder and Chairman of Taipei Marketing Research Association on a national basis. He was also Chairman of Board of China File and Micrographic Information Management Institute. In order to promote the collaboration of academy between both sides of China on the pacific ocean, Professor Tu was the Chairman and held the 1966 Seminar on File and Micrographic Academy of both sides of the Straits of Taiwan on November 4-11, 1996.*8
"Our knowledge, wisdom, and professionalism are all achieved by our sincere love to God!" said President Dr. Tony T. Lei of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI).*9

Judge Besty Kolkoski honored President Dr. Tony T. Lei of WBTI and his wife with reunion dinner
By Valorie Vega, Cheryl Moss, and Tiffany Chang
On April 9, 2004, Judge Besty Kolkoski and her husband Dick honored President Dr. Tony T. Lei of WBTI and his wife with a nice reunion dinner. The location was at the Cheese Factory in Summerlin. The party was held by Judge Kolkoski in celebrating of Easter for the two famillies.
Congratulations! On April 10, 2004, Judge of Las Vegas Municipal Court Honorable Betsy Kolkoski was the winner of visitor's number at #50,000th (now at #104,660th) on Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) website at:
http://communitylink.reviewjournal.com/lvrj/wbti
The Summerlin of Las Vegas has been elected as the First Place in among 12 ranking communities nationally of United States the ideal and best selling homes for big builders in 2000 again.*1 South Shores is one of the important district of Summerlin together with Desert Shores, Sun City, among others. The beautiful lakes centered in this area are one of the greatest attractive- ness of Las Vegas for millions of visitors all around the world. People would enjoy dreamly the sun rising and sun setting of the calm, clean, and nice scenes of these artificial and great work on the lilltle bridges. These bridges are built above the golden and beautiful waves of the lakes which are surounded by elegant residences. People love Summerlin. People love this Las Vegas' mighty fine! Dr. Tony Lei has been re-elected as a Director of South Shores Community Association with the highest poll by voters in December 2002.
Judge Betsy Kolkoski of Las Vegas Minicipal Court did also invite Dr. and Mrs. Tony T. Lei with a reunion dinner at Village Pub and Casino in Summerlin on February 28, 2001. Accompanied by her husband to the dinner, the Judge was bright and pleasent.
In 1971, Judge Kolkoski graduated from the University of Cincinnati College of Law with Juris Doctorate degree. As Nevada's Elder Rights Atnorney, an Associate Fellow of the Culture Institution (CI) and Chairperson of the Aging Services Study Committee of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI), she advocated statewide for the legal rights of senior and elder abuse prevention. Her research projects and papers presented together with former Attorney General Frankie Sue Del Papa to the national conferences were publicized by WBTI locally and internationally. CI has been led by Dr. Sue Fawn Chung as its Director and Fellow. She is an Associate Professor and former Chairman of the History Department at UNLV. Dr. Chung was also named one of the two Nevada advisors to the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 2000.
"PAI is exploring such themes as computer and quantitative analysis for administration, seniors power by voting, economic renewal, educational technology, elder abuse, social security and Medicare, and the important relationship between faith and public policy," Dr. Tony Lei noted. "We have worked to provide a setting of ideas in which the principles and perspective of the program come into contact with leading issues of the day in order to improve the quality of life of all our Nevadans."
The value of an academic institute should also put an eye on community service aside from its academic research. Take only one example, for the positive effort of the research and promotion of the seniors benefit, the Institute has done sizable works and received valuable results. At the end of 20th and in the very early of this 21st century, Associate Fellow of the Public Administration Institution (PAI) of WBTI, Elder Rights Attorney Besty Kolkoski of the Nevada Division for Aging Services (NDAS), with Juris Doctor degree of University of Cincinnati College of Law held the Forth Anniversary Meeting of the Nevada Elder Abuse Prevention Council (NEAPC) as Co-Chairpersons with Nevada Attorney General Frankie Sue Del Papa. Betsy did a research paper on elder abuse prevention through quantitative methodology. Both of them had received a fruitful consequence on the prevention of elder abuse with their cooperation of the NDAS and the Office of the Nevada Attorney General. Associate Fellow Sheri Vogel of PAI, a Juris Doctor degree holder of Detroit College of Law, Detroit, Michigan, has been the Project Administrator of the City of Las Vegas Senior Citizens Law Project since 1986. Sheri has obligatory assisted to and solved the concrete benefits and difficulties of seniors for many thousand cases. Her effort to help Las Vegas Seniors has won a lot of applauses. The President of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI), Dr. Tony T. Lei, was a member of the Las Vegas Senior Citizens' Advisory Board. He has been the Senior Advisor of U. S. Congresswoman Shelley Berkley since 2000. Dr. Tony Lei, elected as Executive Vice President of Seniors United in 2000, had been supported both by the educational and political sectors to get advance in leading the research and promotion of the seniors benefit, social security, and Medicare.*3
"WBTI is a very well respected and integral part of this community. To be an Associate Fellow of its Public Administration Institution (PAI) is a very prestigious honor for me. I am also grateful to be joining such a distinguished panel of professionals who are committed to improving the lives of our citizens in this community," said Judge Ann Zimmerman at the time when she was a Deputy Attorney General of Nevada.*4
In the first paragraph of the article entitled "Election Winner Judge Kolkoski Recognizes Dr. Tony Lei as a Great Leader,' It was written that, "During the congratulating conversation from Dr. Tony Lei to Judge Betsy Kolkoski for her re-elected as a Las Vegas Municipal Court Judge, she told him that Dr. Tony Lei is really a great leader." *5
U. S. Congresswoman Shelley Berkley wrote Dr. Tony T. Lei early April years ago from her U. S. Congress Office in Washington, D. C.: "I can not thank you enough for all you do for me, my dear friend. I just read the 'Washington Business and Technology Institute' publication. It was wonderful!" *6
Seasons greetings are significant to famillies! With honor as the Assistant Democratic Leader (noe Majority Leader) of U. S. Senate, Senator Harry Reid wrote Dr. and Mrs. Tony Lei on January 11, 2001 from his office in Washington, D. C.: "The holiday season is a time for remembering the good things that have happened during the year, for reflecting on the many blessings of our lives, and for renewing the bonds of love and friendship that make our lives special."
The famous political leader from Nevada continued his literary and intimate writing that, "This year has been eventful for the Reid family. Our first child, Lana, and our three grandchildren live in the Washington area. Roary and three more of our grandchildren live in Las Vegas. Leif is in Reno with two more grandchildren and have just told us another is on the way.
Josh just passed the bar, is living in Reno and also has announced our new daughter-in-law is expecting. Finally, our youngest, Key, lives in the Washington DC area with our newest grandchild. So, as you can see, we have the pleasure of grandchildren in each of our frequent stops, Las Vegas, Reno and Washington."
The Bible says: "Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?" (Matthew 6:26) Take what the Senator said to Dr. Tony Lei in his letter that, "On behalf of Landra and our family, I want to thank you thinking of us during this holiday season. Each holiday greeting reminds us that we are truly fortunate to have so many friends and loved ones with whom to share this special time." And if a humble individual like Dr. Lei may be treated so friendly by our Senator Reid, obviously everyone of us in Nevada would be taken care by his extended kindness. And this be our mode: "In God is our trust!"
His love to his family and his friends revealled his dignified and humane spirit through his words in the letter. For a great and powerful person like him to have such a beautiful and kind heart is really the glory of God. "Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil, cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves," says the Bible. (Romans 12:9-10) At the end of the letter, the famous U. S. Senator said that, "The Reid family has been richly blessed and we look forward to the years ahead. I hope that the season brings happiness and good fortune to you and your loved ones. With warmest regards." *7

Belinda Liu: Your wonderful work and serving heart are igniting the city!
By Ingrid Ou, Rebecca Pang, and Jennifer Kung
***** Disciples with expertise, integrity, and humane spirit
from the marketplace will certainly enhance
the implementation of our mission to
'Arise & Shine - Ignite Our City' for 2007.
---John K. Lei, Chairman of the Board of Directors of ROLCC
------------------------------------------
"Shalom Tony & Judy: Thank you very much for your faithful serving God, WBTI and remember sunday school start on Jan. 28. I am so impressed. May God bless your wonderful work and serving heart. Please see the attched file for sunday school lesson 1. Belinda," wrote Mrs. Belinda M. Liu to Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) early in the morning on February 1, 2007.
"I've been invited to serve the Lord out of town. In April this year I'll lead a mission to 台福 (Logos Evangelical Seminary) in Los Angeles. The Drama Team will follow me to have a performance there. A cell group is also planning to join us to worship there. In the Women Conference on September, Mrs. Darlene Cunningham has been invited by me as a Kenote Speaker. She's famous. She loves China and Chinese very much. She has dreamed to be a preacher for Chinese since her youth. To unite our work with other organizations is a key to our innovative endeavor," talked Mrs. Belinda Liu, Founder of Double-Portion Ministries, at her Sunday School on February 4, 2007.
In all three services at ROLCC on February 4, 2007, Rev. Tong Liu introduced the 2007 new Board of Directors. Director Mr. John K. Lei is the Chairman of the new Board. Director Mr. Gerry Liu is the Treasurer. Director Mr. Daniel Chou is the Corporate Secretary. Director Linda Pao is responsible for Human Resources. Director Robert Huang is responsible for Missions. Rev. Liu prayed to God for a successful year to ignite our city with the endeavors of the Board.
"Disciples with expertise, integrity, and humane spirit in the marketplace will certainly enhance the implementation of our mission to 'Arise & Shine - Ignite Our City' in 2007. A strong English adult service is vital to ROLCC's goal to become a 'Home for All Nations'. 5 years ago I had visions of our English adult service packed with people. I have faith God will bless our English service. Let us all invite our friends and family to the 3rd service!" wrote John Lei, Chairman of the Board of Directors of ROLCC, on February 4, 2004.
LIVERight, a community service HBV free blood screen/seminar took place on Saturday, 1/13 from 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm. This was a joint effort between Asian Liver Center (ALC) at Stanford University and Holiday Plaza Series at River of Life Christian Church (ROLCC). We are really thankful that this collaboration was a great success. ALC and ROLCC are embracing the same vision in serving the community via community awareness seminar/blood screen on one of the biggest killers, hepatitis B/liver cancer in Asian community. We had 238 people screened over the event; approximately 400 audiences came for the presentation. At large or little, we knew we had made the difference.
About 20 volunteers from ALC and 15 volunteers from ROLCC came to help out the event. Dr. So did the presentation in English with Jordan Su's concurrent translation to Mandarin. Many people gave positive feedback, and everyone I spoke to felt that they have learned a lot of useful life-saving tips! The event started by having the audience to watch the film. I was really touched after watching the film that told many stories on how hepatitis B had impacted the lives of many. I remember vividly Dr. So��s interview in the movie: ��I am just very sick of seeing so many young lives lost every day due to HBV/liver cancer��. This was why liver transplant surgen, Dr. So decided to found ALC to serve the community. In the presentation, Dr. So once again reminded us how serious hepatitis B is impacting the Asians and Asian Americans. In certain part of China , the impact was much worse-1/6 of population is infected by HBV. He spoke about the trasmission route for hepatitis B. He spoke about what each of us should do. If people are not carriers, they should definitely get the 3-slot immunization as soon as possible, which will protect them for life. If they are HBV carriers, they need to monitor their liver status on a regular basis. They should go to their doctor to have their liver function and ALPHAFETO PROTEIN level checked every half year plus annual ultrasound exam. In addition, he told the story about a medical intern who had hepatitis B but lack of awareness, died of liver cancer at very young age. This sad story continues to linger on people��s mind and serves as a good reminder of being educated on this important topic. He ended by stating the mission and work at ALC. Many people that came to the event raised a lot of questions. During Q/A session, Dr. So further spoke about the difference between hepatitis A, B and C. He explained about the outcome of missing one last slot during the 3 shot immunization course and the impact of it if the schedule of 3-shots immunization is different from it is recommended. In addition, he commented about the use of herbal supplements and why some people can't donate blood even though they are not carriers. The event actually ran into 4.45 pm, and many people's questions still could not be answered due to time constrains.
To me, this joint event between ALC and ROLCC is just a starting. Based on the feedback we got from the attendants, we hope to see more ALC-ROLCC collaborative projects happened in times to come. We believe that this combined effort will provide the best service and a blessing to the community!
This event was beyond our expectation and turn out a great success. Of course, the most comforting thing to know is that some people's lives will be saved because of the knowledge they learn!
We pray that Lord will continue to bless the vision of ALC and ROLCC and to those people who attended the event.
The above five paragraphs are reported by Dr. Ingrid Ou.*1
Dr. Ingrid Ying C. Ou is a senior scientist working for ALZA, Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical in Mountain View, CA. Ingrid got her doctoral degree from University of Washington , Seattle . Her passion in life is to serve the Lord and live up to HIS glory using her skills and interests in medicine. She also greatly enjoys serving the Lord in Single Adult and Children ministry (choir and musical program) at ROLCC. She believes that being Christian is not all about going to church. She believes that God��s words can really equip us to a much better player in all areas of our life, at work and in the family. God's words are relevant to our daily lives; He helps us to achieve a higher level that we could not have done by our own means. In the spare time, Dr. Ingrid Ou enjoys ballet, running and playing piano. She and her husband currently reside in Sunnyvale, CA.
"In this era where massive amount of information is often found via internet, I think that the mission of WBTI is timely and visionary. The impact of Lord in the community will be enlarged via web publishing and more of Good news will be effectively going to those who need them the most," pointed out Dr. Ingrid Ou.*2
Dear Dr. Lei, Hope that you enjoyed the Dr. So's talk yesterday. As indicated in my email to you earlier this week, below is the script that I promoted last week at the English congregation:
"Happy New Year, Brothers and Sisters. This is coming Saturday, we will have the privilege of having Dr. So from Stanford, Asian Liver Center to come here to give us an education seminar on liver health. This is an event that you can't afford to miss. Why do I say this? Let me start by showing you a patient interview video clip by Anthony. (http://liver.Stanford.edu/Mult/Mult_video.php).
Yes, Anthony is right. People who have hepatitis B have a much higher chance of getting liver cancer. This is especially a problem among Asians and Asian Americans. It is estimated that one in 10 Asians are HBV carriers and one in 4 chronic HBV carriers will eventually die of liver cancer or liver disease if left untreated, or unmonitored. Unfortunately, many of us did not know about this fact. What is even more sad is that many of the HBV carriers did not know that there are several simple monitoring tests they can ask from their doctors. Instead, they left the disease unmonitored until it was too late. This coming Saturday, we expect to have 300-400 people to join us. I am very excited. According to the statistics, as many as 10 people's lives will be saved because of the knowledge we learn. I hope all of you will join us for this meaningful, life-saving event.
I will be here after the service to take your registration and answer any question that you may have. Thank you again for your attention." *3
Here is an introduction of Dr. So: Dr. Samuel So is a professor and a liver cancer surgeon in the Department of Surgery and directs the Liver Cancer Program at Stanford University Medical Center. Dr. So is originally from Hong Kong. In 1996, Dr So established the Asian Liver Center to address the disproportionately high prevalence of hepatitis B and liver Cancer in the Asian and Asian Americans with the ultimate goal of eradicating hepatitis B worldwide and eliminating the threat of liver cancer.
The Asian Liver Center at Stanford is the only non-profit organization in the United States that addresses the high incidence of hepatitis B and liver cancer in Asians and Asian-Americans. Founded in 1996, the center uses a three-pronged approach towards fighting hepatitis B through outreach, education , and research.*4 More is available from http://liver.stanford.edu/ALC/ALC_staff.php
"Dear Dr. Lei, It was my great honor to meet you last Sunday. Thank you so much for your support for the event, which I believe is going to benefit a lot of us," wrote Dr. Ingrid Ou to Washington Business and Technology Institute on January 10, 2007.
"Dear Belinda: May God bless your wonderful work and serving heart. At the beginning of year 2007, I felt that God wants me to examine my past failures so that I know where I fall and what can I do to grow in Christ; just like the Israelites during the Deuteronomy time. Therefore by attending your class God reminded me that He is a God of covenant and promise. He is a faithful God that will never forsake me and will guide me through the wilderness just as He guides Israel. I look forward to more classes to learn of God’s Words and Works so that I can live in God’s promise land. Thank you so much and may God pour out His double blessings upon you. Rebecca," wrote Miss Rebecca Pang again for this article to WBTI on February 2, 2007.*5

"Hi Brother Tony: It is a wonderful day, a day that the Lord has made. Thank you for interviewing me, it was an honor to share what the Lord has spoken to me through Belinda's Sunday school teaching. Here is my prayer for Belinda's Israel trip. Rebecca," wrote Miss Rebecca Pang to WBTI. "'Dear Heavenly Father: Thank you for having Belinda with us, thank you for putting a love for Your children Israel in her heart. As she and her team leaves for Israel please be with them. Send Your angels to guard their travel safety. Speak to each and everyone of the team, let them hear Your thunderous voice so that their lives can be changed through this journey. Walk among us while they walk in Your Holy Land. Lord, I ask that you bless my brothers and sisters while they go and bless Your children. May Sar Shalom (the Prince of Peace) be with them. I pray in Jesus' name, A-men.' Thank you very much, Rebecca."
"It's our honor to learn from Mrs. Belinda M. Liu of the spcial section 'Belinda Liu's Spiritual World' by WBTI thorugh the search leaders internationally," said Miss Rebecca Pang to WBTI on October 22, 2006 in Santa Clara, California. "I like Mrs. Belinda Liu's Sunday School. Her knowlegeable contents of the Bible have often convinced us with her living examples. She gave us practical reasons to believe. It's my pleasure to apply those teachings from her to my daily life."

The evening was shinning! How nice was Friday December 29, 2006! We had a wonderful potluck at Mr. John Lei's home for our John Lei/Petty Wu Cell Group. We had lots of nice foods, fruits, and cakes. Attendants were enthusiastic.

The potluck was fully enjoyed by all the participants with good communication and fun. The game brought us with another hightlight of the reunion. Praise God that we had a such wonderful time after the Christmas and before the New Year. A happy New Year was wishful among all the sisters and brothers!
We received an evite invitation for a ski-trip to Lake Tahoe by John/Patty Cell Goup. "Hi! Everyone, How would you like to spend a weekend with cell group brothers and sisters in Tahoe? ... You are more than welcome to invite new friends to join. Sincerely, Patty," wrote Miss Patty Wu on February 4, 2007.
"Thank you for devotions this morning on the balcony overlooking the misty snowy sun-rise landscape," wrote Mr. Mike Lei on December 24, 2006.*9
"Dear Dr. Lei, You're an extremely knowledgeable and wise elder, yet very easy to get along with. I'm very blessed to getting to know you more in the past 7 months. Your warm hospitality makes me feel just like a family member of yours. Wishing you a joyful and peaceful Christmas. May God continued blessing what you're fonding of doing. May your resourseful website become one of the "Top" (: channel of communication for business, social, and community. May you continue receiving His wisdom words and His double portion of favors," wrote Miss Angie Qian on a nice Season's Greetings card to Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) on December 24 in Lake Tahoe, California.
Sunday was joyful day at ROLCC with the children performing an outstanding drama in all three services and afterwards the baptism ceremony for 34 brothers and sisters. Nicole Ying of John Lei/Patty Wu cell group was among those who were baptized on Sunday.
The cell group members attended the ceremony with excitement and shouted, "Nicole, Jesus loves you and we also love you!" when she went on stage to give her testimony. John/Patty's cell group memembers gave Nicole flowers and many gifts to celebrate Nicole's "new birth", praise the Lord! Many nice photos were taken.*10
"Dear friends, During last Friday's fellowship, I told you about the free online Bible website.

Find a Bible verse: type "Mark 1:10" or "John 3:16", etc. (3). Find a word in the Bible: type "love" or "cross", etc. (4). Find a phrase in the Bible: type "love one another", etc. As a bonus, here is the free daily message from Pastor Liu you can access by your phone: (408) 291-8046 God bless, John," wrote John Lei, Director (now Chairman) Of the Board of Directors of River of Life Christian Church.*11

"Thank you," wrote Nevada Supreme Court Justice Michael Douglas to WBTI.*12 "One of the most important contribution of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) to our high-ranking officials and community is its many articles published frequently by the search engine leaders locally, nationally, and internationally.

"Thanks, Dr. Lei," wrote Nevada Assemblywoman Valerie Weber to WBTI.*13 "The WBTI's website has played an important role to bridge the cooperation and development among our individuals, officials, and community. In advancing to its 14th year, we'd find WBTI's inter-states perspectives have brought with potentiality for the prosperity of more organiztions and people."
By the act of love itself, we are enriched. Love in action is service above self. Make service a part of our character and experience the abundant reward that comes from serving others. "It's my appreciation to 'Nevada Examiner' for its publication of my following statement several times," said District Court Judge Cheryl Moss. In community service, Dr. Tony T. Lei's hero is the great servant who has given all for the betterment of others' lives. Let our candles fuel a fire that will fan out an ever-lasting circles. With these circles together we can close our eyes and envision a community that is safe, peaceful, and healthy. The Bible teaches us: "...let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth (1 John 3:18)." District (Family) Court Judge-elect Cheryl Moss wrote Dr. Tony T. Lei, "I am delighted and honored to be appointed as an Associate Fellow of the Public Administration Institution of Washington Business and Technology Institute. Thank you for this opportunity to serve, and I hope to gain more knowledge, insight and awareness about public service and community issues through your prestigious institution. I remain dedicated to helping the community, and I am inspired by your leadership, wisdom and guidance.

"When I take a step back and look at my life, I can't help but think how bless I am for all God has given to me.

Grass Mountain (Yangmingshan) ---a scenic and nice place near Taipei
By Tiffany Chang
The sky is beautiful!
It is not far away from Taipei. Yangmingshan, the Grass Mountain, is a scenic place with a beautiful park.
Grass Mountain (Yangmingshan) Conceived and choreographed by Artistic Director Shih Gee-Tze*1
This, the newest of Acme Physical Dance Theatre�s National Park series reveals a handful of the mysteries surrounding Yangmingshan or "Grass Mountain". This park is significant for many reasons. The most immediate of these is in its function as a natural sanctuary to the residents of Taipei City. Its close physical proximity acts as a huge garden for city dwellers to escape their busy and stressful lives. Indeed, historically, it has served this function since the beginning of Japanese rule (1895.)
Grass Mountain is also unique in its geological makeup. Volcanoes and fuming crevices steam and fume through a barren tortured landscape, while a stone�s throw away,butterflies dance among masses of vibrant trees, shrubs and greenery. Owing to this layered nature of Yangmingshan park, choreographer Shih Gee-Tze has chosen to present the multiple aspects of meaning through 4 separate acts: �Blossoming,? �Red Mountain,? �Night Scenery,? and �Mountain Living.? *2

Touch of Asia in palatial Palazzo
LV Sands project borrows from Macau
By Howard Stutz
[[[Standard Drywall foreman Daniel Boucher, above, cuts channeling for drywall Thursday at the under-construction Palazzo.
Photos by John Gurzinski.]]]
[[[The project's planned 50-story hotel tower reached the 36th floor this week; its concrete-encased elevator core stood at 46 stories.]]]
[[[Las Vegas Sands Corp. Executive Vice President Brad Stone stands Thursday in the shadow of the new Palazzo Tower under construction by The Venetian. He said that although the property will be huge, with a 105,000-square-foot casino area, it will also feel comfortable to guests.]]]
The $1.8 billion Palazzo has not been the average Strip construction project.*1
When the 3,025-room hotel-casino is completed -- executives from Las Vegas Sands Corp. have set a target date for the end of this year -- the development will include design aspects learned while building the neighboring Venetian and the company's resorts in Macau.
The Palazzo will be connected to the 4,027-room Venetian, but it will not be a mirror image.
"People are going to be surprised when they walk into this building because this property is going to be a lot more interconnected than The Venetian," Las Vegas Sands Executive Vice President Brad Stone said earlier this week during a walking tour of some of the Palazzo's under-construction features.
The Palazzo's planned 50-story hotel tower reached the 36th floor this week while the concrete-encased elevator core stood at 46 stories. Much of the Palazzo's 105,000-square-foot casino area and interior public space is framed out, giving a visitor an idea of the resort's layout.
"It's a huge property, but to the consumer, it will feel very comfortable, and in a way, very intimate," Stone said. "Yet, it will have huge drama."
Five stories above the Strip, Stone showed off the Palazzo's 250,000-square-foot pool deck, which will connect to the adjacent pool deck at The Venetian. The link will allow for a seamless transition between properties. The deck will have multiple pools and spas, an outdoor restaurant and two private villas, of 10,000 and 12,000 square feet.
Elevators from the villas will lead directly into the Palazzo's 5,000-square-foot baccarat pit. The baccarat pit contains, along with several smaller gaming rooms, a walk-up noodle bar.
"A lot of what we're doing appeals to the high-end business out of Southeast Asia," Stone said. "We do a tremendous job of catering to the Asian market and some of the amenities we're building appeals to that audience."
Stone said the Palazzo, with 65,000 tons of steel, is the largest steel construction job in America. Las Vegas Sands locked in a price for the steel before a boom in construction jobs along the Strip and throughout the Southwest sent building material costs soaring.
Las Vegas Sands took other steps to keep building costs in check. Rather than leasing construction cranes for $7.6 million apiece, the casino operator bought three cranes for $5.1 million each, Stone said. Two additional cranes have also been purchased.
"No construction job goes smoothly. You're always ironing out different problems," Stone said. "We did a lot of early buys which have helped. The steel deal was a brilliant move. Construction costs are rising and no one is immune to that. But where you have to keep sharp is how you build and buy in this marketplace."
Stone said Las Vegas Sands is using its purchasing subsidiary out of China to buy much of the Palazzo's building materials and exterior features, such as lighting fixtures. The company also formed its own marble business to handle the property's stonework.
Garrett Byrd, vice president of construction for The Venetian said the company is using between 1,200 and 1,300 construction workers in 24-hour shifts to complete the Palazzo.
Although the Palazzo will top out at 50 floors, that doesn't account for what's beneath the hotel-casino.
Las Vegas Sands Corp. spent 13 months excavating more than 1 million cubic yards of dirt from the 14-acre site near the intersection of the Strip and Sands Avenue. The pit was transformed into a 4,400-space, four-story parking garage, along with the Palazzo's back-of-the house facilities on the fifth floor.
Escalators and elevators take customers from the parking garage directly into the Palazzo's casino.
Building a 50-story hotel-casino atop the underground parking structure makes the Palazzo one of Las Vegas' most distinctive construction projects, Stone said.
"This is a very intense building with a lot of logistical challenges," Stone said. "It's a lot like a Manhattan (New York) construction project. (Clark) County hadn't seen anything like this before."
Stone said construction has begun on the foundation for a planned 270-unit condominium tower, which will be built along the Strip near the Palazzo's main entrance.
The residential tower is planned for atop the 90,000-square-foot building that will house Barneys, a New York-based high-end men's and women's apparel store that is part of the Palazzo's planned 300,000 square feet of retail development.*2

Belinda Liu: May God bless your wonderful work and serving heart!
By Ingrid Ou, Rebecca Pang, and Jennifer Kung
***** Disciples with expertise, integrity, and humane spirit
from the marketplace will certainly enhance
the implementation of our mission to
'Arise & Shine - Ignite Our City' for 2007.
---John K. Lei, Chairman of the Board of Directors of ROLCC
------------------------------------------
"Shalom Tony & Judy: Thank you very much for your faithful serving God, WBTI and remember sunday school start on Jan. 28. I am so impressed. May God bless your wonderful work and serving heart. Please see the attched file for sunday school lesson 1. Belinda," wrote Mrs. Belinda M. Liu to Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) early in the morning on February 1, 2007.
"I've been invited to serve the Lord out of town. In April this year I'll lead a mission to 台福 (Logos Evangelical Seminary) in Los Angeles. The Drama Team will follow me to have a performance there. A cell group is also planning to join us to worship there. In the Women Conference on September, Mrs. Darlene Cunningham has been invited by me as a Kenote Speaker. She's famous. She loves China and Chinese very much. She has dreamed to be a preacher for Chinese since her youth. To unite our work with other organizations is a key to our innovative endeavor," talked Mrs. Belinda Liu, Founder of Double-Portion Ministries, at her Sunday School on February 4, 2007.
In all three services at ROLCC on February 4, 2007, Rev. Tong Liu introduced the 2007 new Board of Directors. Director Mr. John K. Lei is the Chairman of the new Board. Director Mr. Gerry Liu is the Treasurer. Director Mr. Daniel Chou is the Corporate Secretary. Director Linda Pao is responsible for Human Resources. Director Robert Huang is responsible for Missions. Rev. Liu prayed to God for a successful year to ignite our city with the endeavors of the Board.
"Disciples with expertise, integrity, and humane spirit in the marketplace will certainly enhance the implementation of our mission to 'Arise & Shine - Ignite Our City' in 2007. A strong English adult service is vital to ROLCC's goal to become a 'Home for All Nations'. 5 years ago I had visions of our English adult service packed with people. I have faith God will bless our English service. Let us all invite our friends and family to the 3rd service!" wrote John Lei, Chairman of the Board of Directors of ROLCC, on February 4, 2004.
LIVERight, a community service HBV free blood screen/seminar took place on Saturday, 1/13 from 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm. This was a joint effort between Asian Liver Center (ALC) at Stanford University and Holiday Plaza Series at River of Life Christian Church (ROLCC). We are really thankful that this collaboration was a great success. ALC and ROLCC are embracing the same vision in serving the community via community awareness seminar/blood screen on one of the biggest killers, hepatitis B/liver cancer in Asian community. We had 238 people screened over the event; approximately 400 audiences came for the presentation. At large or little, we knew we had made the difference.
About 20 volunteers from ALC and 15 volunteers from ROLCC came to help out the event. Dr. So did the presentation in English with Jordan Su's concurrent translation to Mandarin. Many people gave positive feedback, and everyone I spoke to felt that they have learned a lot of useful life-saving tips! The event started by having the audience to watch the film. I was really touched after watching the film that told many stories on how hepatitis B had impacted the lives of many. I remember vividly Dr. So��s interview in the movie: ��I am just very sick of seeing so many young lives lost every day due to HBV/liver cancer��. This was why liver transplant surgen, Dr. So decided to found ALC to serve the community. In the presentation, Dr. So once again reminded us how serious hepatitis B is impacting the Asians and Asian Americans. In certain part of China , the impact was much worse-1/6 of population is infected by HBV. He spoke about the trasmission route for hepatitis B. He spoke about what each of us should do. If people are not carriers, they should definitely get the 3-slot immunization as soon as possible, which will protect them for life. If they are HBV carriers, they need to monitor their liver status on a regular basis. They should go to their doctor to have their liver function and ALPHAFETO PROTEIN level checked every half year plus annual ultrasound exam. In addition, he told the story about a medical intern who had hepatitis B but lack of awareness, died of liver cancer at very young age. This sad story continues to linger on people��s mind and serves as a good reminder of being educated on this important topic. He ended by stating the mission and work at ALC. Many people that came to the event raised a lot of questions. During Q/A session, Dr. So further spoke about the difference between hepatitis A, B and C. He explained about the outcome of missing one last slot during the 3 shot immunization course and the impact of it if the schedule of 3-shots immunization is different from it is recommended. In addition, he commented about the use of herbal supplements and why some people can't donate blood even though they are not carriers. The event actually ran into 4.45 pm, and many people's questions still could not be answered due to time constrains.
To me, this joint event between ALC and ROLCC is just a starting. Based on the feedback we got from the attendants, we hope to see more ALC-ROLCC collaborative projects happened in times to come. We believe that this combined effort will provide the best service and a blessing to the community!
This event was beyond our expectation and turn out a great success. Of course, the most comforting thing to know is that some people's lives will be saved because of the knowledge they learn! We pray that Lord will continue to bless the vision of ALC and ROLCC and to those people who attended the event.
The above five paragraphs are reported by Dr. Ingrid Ou.*1 Dr. Ingrid Ying C. Ou is a senior scientist working for ALZA, Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical in Mountain View, CA. Ingrid got her doctoral degree from University of Washington , Seattle . Her passion in life is to serve the Lord and live up to HIS glory using her skills and interests in medicine. She also greatly enjoys serving the Lord in Single Adult and Children ministry (choir and musical program) at ROLCC. She believes that being Christian is not all about going to church. She believes that God��s words can really equip us to a much better player in all areas of our life, at work and in the family. God's words are relevant to our daily lives; He helps us to achieve a higher level that we could not have done by our own means. In the spare time, Dr. Ingrid Ou enjoys ballet, running and playing piano. She and her husband currently reside in Sunnyvale, CA.
"In this era where massive amount of information is often found via internet, I think that the mission of WBTI is timely and visionary. The impact of Lord in the community will be enlarged via web publishing and more of Good news will be effectively going to those who need them the most," pointed out Dr. Ingrid Ou.*2
Dear Dr. Lei, Hope that you enjoyed the Dr. So's talk yesterday. As indicated in my email to you earlier this week, below is the script that I promoted last week at the English congregation:
"Happy New Year, Brothers and Sisters. This is coming Saturday, we will have the privilege of having Dr. So from Stanford, Asian Liver Center to come here to give us an education seminar on liver health. This is an event that you can't afford to miss. Why do I say this? Let me start by showing you a patient interview video clip by Anthony.(http://liver.Stanford.edu/Mult/Mult_video.php).
Yes, Anthony is right. People who have hepatitis B have a much higher chance of getting liver cancer. This is especially a problem among Asians and Asian Americans. It is estimated that one in 10 Asians are HBV carriers and one in 4 chronic HBV carriers will eventually die of liver cancer or liver disease if left untreated, or unmonitored. Unfortunately, many of us did not know about this fact. What is even more sad is that many of the HBV carriers did not know that there are several simple monitoring tests they can ask from their doctors. Instead, they left the disease unmonitored until it was too late. This coming Saturday, we expect to have 300-400 people to join us. I am very excited. According to the statistics, as many as 10 people's lives will be saved because of the knowledge we learn. I hope all of you will join us for this meaningful, life-saving event.
I will be here after the service to take your registration and answer any question that you may have. Thank you again for your attention." *3
Here is an introduction of Dr. So: Dr. Samuel So is a professor and a liver cancer surgeon in the Department of Surgery and directs the Liver Cancer Program at Stanford University Medical Center. Dr. So is originally from Hong Kong. In 1996, Dr So established the Asian Liver Center to address the disproportionately high prevalence of hepatitis B and liver Cancer in the Asian and Asian Americans with the ultimate goal of eradicating hepatitis B worldwide and eliminating the threat of liver cancer.
The Asian Liver Center at Stanford is the only non-profit organization in the United States that addresses the high incidence of hepatitis B and liver cancer in Asians and Asian-Americans. Founded in 1996, the center uses a three-pronged approach towards fighting hepatitis B through outreach, education , and research.*4 More is available from http://liver.stanford.edu/ALC/ALC_staff.php
"Dear Dr. Lei, It was my great honor to meet you last Sunday. Thank you so much for your support for the event, which I believe is going to benefit a lot of us," wrote Dr. Ingrid Ou to Washington Business and Technology Institute on January 10, 2007.
"Dear Belinda: May God bless your wonderful work and serving heart. At the beginning of year 2007, I felt that God wants me to examine my past failures so that I know where I fall and what can I do to grow in Christ; just like the Israelites during the Deuteronomy time. Therefore by attending your class God reminded me that He is a God of covenant and promise. He is a faithful God that will never forsake me and will guide me through the wilderness just as He guides Israel. I look forward to more classes to learn of God’s Words and Works so that I can live in God’s promise land. Thank you so much and may God pour out His double blessings upon you. Rebecca," wrote Miss Rebecca Pang again for this article to WBTI on February 2, 2007.*5

"Hi Brother Tony: It is a wonderful day, a day that the Lord has made. Thank you for interviewing me, it was an honor to share what the Lord has spoken to me through Belinda's Sunday school teaching. Here is my prayer for Belinda's Israel trip. Rebecca," wrote Miss Rebecca Pang to WBTI. "'Dear Heavenly Father: Thank you for having Belinda with us, thank you for putting a love for Your children Israel in her heart. As she and her team leaves for Israel please be with them. Send Your angels to guard their travel safety. Speak to each and everyone of the team, let them hear Your thunderous voice so that their lives can be changed through this journey. Walk among us while they walk in Your Holy Land. Lord, I ask that you bless my brothers and sisters while they go and bless Your children. May Sar Shalom (the Prince of Peace) be with them. I pray in Jesus' name, A-men.' Thank you very much, Rebecca."
"It's our honor to learn from Mrs. Belinda M. Liu of the spcial section 'Belinda Liu's Spiritual World' by WBTI thorugh the search leaders internationally," said Miss Rebecca Pang to WBTI on October 22, 2006 in Santa Clara, California. "I like Mrs. Belinda Liu's Sunday School. Her knowlegeable contents of the Bible have often convinced us with her living examples. She gave us practical reasons to believe. It's my pleasure to apply those teachings from her to my daily life."

The evening was shinning! How nice was Friday December 29, 2006! We had a wonderful potluck at Mr. John Lei's home for our John Lei/Petty Wu Cell Group. We had lots of nice foods, fruits, and cakes.

Praise God that we had a such wonderful time after the Christmas and before the New Year. A happy New Year was wishful among all the sisters and brothers!
We received an evite invitation for a ski-trip to Lake Tahoe by John/Patty Cell Goup. "Hi! Everyone, How would you like to spend a weekend with cell group brothers and sisters in Tahoe?

"Thank you for devotions this morning on the balcony overlooking the misty snowy sun-rise landscape," wrote Mr. Mike Lei on December 24, 2006.*7
"Dear Dr. Lei, You're an extremely knowledgeable and wise elder, yet very easy to get along with. I'm very blessed to getting to know you more in the past 7 months. Your warm hospitality makes me feel just like a family member of yours. Wishing you a joyful and peaceful Christmas. May God continued blessing what you're fonding of doing.

Sunday was joyful day at ROLCC with the children performing an outstanding drama in all three services and afterwards the baptism ceremony for 34 brothers and sisters. Nicole Ying of John Lei/Patty Wu cell group was among those who were baptized on Sunday.
The cell group members attended the ceremony with excitement and shouted, "Nicole, Jesus loves you and we also love you!" when she went on stage to give her testimony. John/Patty's cell group memembers gave Nicole flowers and many gifts to celebrate Nicole's "new birth", praise the Lord! Many nice photos were taken.*8
"Dear friends, During last Friday's fellowship, I told you about the free online Bible website. Here is the web link: http://www.biblegateway.com/ This website can search the Bible in various ways: (1). Find an entire book in the Bible: type "Mark" or "Acts", etc. (2). Find a Bible verse: type "Mark 1:10" or "John 3:16", etc. (3). Find a word in the Bible: type "love" or "cross", etc. (4). Find a phrase in the Bible: type "love one another", etc. As a bonus, here is the free daily message from Pastor Liu you can access by your phone: (408) 291-8046 God bless, John," wrote John Lei, Director (now Chairman) Of the Board of Directors of River of Life Christian Church.*9
"�H�۵�Tony & Judy��ƽ��@�qĩ�ж��ļ����Đۣ��҂��g��һ��۵Ę��----- Tracey��," wrote Miss Tracey Yang to WBTI on January 16, 2007.
"Thank you," wrote Nevada Supreme Court Justice Michael Douglas to WBTI.*10 "One of the most important contribution of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) to our high-ranking officials and community is its many articles published frequently by the search engine leaders locally, nationally, and internationally. As an Associate Professor of the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration of WBTI, it's my hornor to join its Professor of Administrative Strategies U. S. Senator Harry Reid ( now the Majority Leader of U. S. Senate) and its Chairperson Elaine Chao, U. S. Secretary of Labor, to endeavor the promotion of benifits for our people, community, and country."
The Sunday School on "Book of Numbers" that implemented by Mrs. Belinda M. Liu through November 19, 2006 was impressive. We had many sisters and brothers including Miss Ying-Min Huang, Mr. Yang Shao, Mrs. Judy Lei, Miss Vanessa Li, Mr. John Lei, Miss Angel Lo, Miss Annie Shen, Mr. Jingmin Leng, Miss Lanfang Hsu, Miss Julie Tai, Miss Rebecca Pang, Mrs. Gary Hsu, Miss Elaine Hsu, ��, Miss Chiao-wen Chen, Dr. Tony Lei, and among others (names in random).

Its prinouts are now published at the end of this Section.
"I'm impressed by Mrs. Belinda Liu's ability to integrate chapters of the Bible for a teaching," pointed out Miss Brenda Lin. It was delivered to the section of "Belinda Liu's Spiritual World" at the new Sunday School by Brenda in ROLCC on February 4, 2007
"Thanks, Dr. Lei," wrote Nevada Assemblywoman Valerie Weber to WBTI.*11 "The WBTI's website has played an important role to bridge the cooperation and development among our individuals, officials, and community. In advancing to its 14th year, we'd find WBTI's inter-states perspectives have brought with potentiality for the prosperity of more organiztions and people."
By the act of love itself, we are enriched. Love in action is service above self. Make service a part of our character and experience the abundant reward that comes from serving others. "It's my appreciation to 'Nevada Examiner' for its publication of my following statement several times," said District Court Judge Cheryl Moss. In community service, Dr. Tony T. Lei's hero is the great servant who has given all for the betterment of others' lives. Let our candles fuel a fire that will fan out an ever-lasting circles. With these circles together we can close our eyes and envision a community that is safe, peaceful, and healthy. The Bible teaches us: "...let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth (1 John 3:18)." District (Family) Court Judge-elect Cheryl Moss wrote Dr. Tony T. Lei, "I am delighted and honored to be appointed as an Associate Fellow of the Public Administration Institution of Washington Business and Technology Institute. Thank you for this opportunity to serve, and I hope to gain more knowledge, insight and awareness about public service and community issues through your prestigious institution. I remain dedicated to helping the community, and I am inspired by your leadership, wisdom and guidance. I am also fortunate to have met you and your wife, Judy, because you are both active and dynamic individuals in the community. Your accomplishments and achievements have demonstrated that taking part in the community does make a difference. Best wishes and thank you again for your unselfish kindness, support and encouragement." *12

"When I take a step back and look at my life, I can't help but think how bless I am for all God has given to me.

(1) Well known high incidence of liver disease among Chinese people.
(2) For every 100 Chinese people, 10 people would be HBV carrier. According to past statistics, out of those 10 people, 2 to 3 people may end up lose their life due to liver disease or liver cancer (Not just in OLD people. It happens to Young people in their 20-30 too!). This statistics is stunning and we need to get educated about our own health.
(3) Thus for every 100 people we invite to the seminar/event, we can potentially save 2 to 3 people's life.
(4) For people who are not HBV carrier, they learn how to protect themselves from getting it. In addition, they learn how to read their test results (make sure that they really NOT a carrier! ). For people who don't know whether they are HBV carrier, the free screening will let them know about whether or not they are carrier.*18
Dr. Samuel So is a founder and director of Asian Liver Center at Stanford Hospital . ALC is an unique non-profit research institution with its focus on Asian high prevalence of liver disease in the United States. Dr. So originally from Hong Kong. He was a professor at the medical school of Washington University St Louis. In 1995, he founded Stanford Liver Research Center.*19
