***** Neswbrief of WBTI on February 4, 2004 *****

An Event and Dinner Party will be held by the Asian American Group
to pay a special tribute to Justice Myron Leavitt
By Tiffany Chang

On Wendesday, January 4, 2004, the Asian American Group of Asian American Community in Nevada will hold an event and dinner party.*12 At 7:00 - 9:30 p. m., the location will be at the Harbor Palace Restaurant , China Town, Las Vegas. The Event is for a Special Tribute to Justice Myron Leavitt.

It planned to invite Chief Justice Debra Agosti of the Nevada Supreme Court and District Judge of Nevada Michelle Leavitt as Keynote Speakers.

The following individuals had been planned as Event Chairpersons: David Amesbury, Esq., General Counsel --- CAN-DO; Raj Chanderraj, MD, Founder, Friends of India; Benson Lee, Esq., President, Chinese American Citizens Alliance of Las Vegas; R. D. Prabhu, MD, Chairperson, CAN-DO; among others. It planned to have Event Hosts: Dolly DeLeon, Past President, Philippine Chamber of Commerce, and Editor-in-Chief, "US Asian Chronicle"; Romeo Jurani, Past President, Philippines Bisayans Society of Nevada; Steven Kwon, Past President & Founder, Asian Chamber of Commerce; Vimla Lendway, Exceptional Travel Service; L. Kristopher Raft, Esq.; Rita Vaswani; Joey Villaflor, MD, Chairman, Board of Health; among others.

It is our regret not being able to post the names and titles of many important and special guests including some more hosts, because we could not get an update of the above list since January 20, 2004.

All of the guests will be about 200 people. Attire for the event and party is business. Guests whom invited by Dr. Tony Lei, Chairman of Chinese American Academic Association of Nevada and his wife Judy are: Miss Agnas Chan, Ms. Helen Hsueh, Mr. Jimmy Hsu, Miss Christine Hu, Mr. Xiao-sheng Huang , Mr. Raymond Lam, Mr. Mark Meng, Mr. Jie Bu, Dr. An-pyng Sun, and Mr. Yuan Chuan Tsai.

It was already popular for the past years to hold dinner parties to pay special tribute to elected offficials, but most of them were civil administratives or civic representatives. Dr. Tony Lei initiated to hold event and dinner party to pay a spcial tribute to the judicial professionals through elections in Nevada. Justice Nancy Becker was the first one selected by him to pay a tribute. A successful event and dinner party was held for her on May 23, 2001 at Harbor Palace Restaurant in Las Vegas. It was chaired by Dr. Tony Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI); Theresa Malone, Member of Nevada State Board of Education; Dr. R. D. Prabhu, Chairperson of CAN-DO; and Dr. Joey Villaflor, Member of Nevada Board of Health. We the Asian American communities have continuously achieved the efforts for other judicial professionals since then.

"To dedicate to the creed of Washington Business and Technology Institute, it's my challenge as an Associate Fellow of it's Public Administration Institution (PAI) to endeavor with all the intellectuals of this Institute to improve the quality of life of the people of Nevada," said Jennifer Togliatti at the Dinner Party on May 17, 2002. The Event with dinner was held by the Asian American Community to pay a special tribute to District Judges Michelle Leavitt and Jennifer Togliatti at the Harbor Palace Seafood Restaurant in Las Vegas.

Judge Michelle Leavitt deserves special recognition of her expertise, integrity, conscientious and dedicated professionalism. She has been a bright Associate Fellow of PAI since 2000. "Thanks to Dr. Tony Lei, Dr. R. D. Prabhu, and Attorney David Amesbury to chair this Event and Party. Together with knowledge as the power of rightiousness, we may build a community where this and future generations will have more opportunities and advantages to live a prosperous and healthy life," said Judge Michelle Leavitt at the Dinner Party.*13

We are deeply regret and sorry that Judge Michelle Leavitt's father passed away weeks ago on a Friday. Myron Leavitt, 73, a Justice of the Nevada Supreme Court, who had a long political career in Nevada. He was born in Las Vegas. Myron was a football and track athlete at the University of Nevada at Reno, where he earned a journalism degree. He worked a year as sports editor of the Las Vegas Review-Journal before studying law at the University of Utah.*14

Myron had private law practice for 28 years. He served as a Councilman of Las Vegas, a Commissioner Clark County and a Justice of the Peace before winning election as Lieutenant Governor of Nevada from 1979 to 1983.

Leavitt served as a Clark County District Court Judge for 15 years before winning a Supreme Court position as one of its Justice in 1998.*15 The late Myron Leavitt is honored as a Memorial Fellow of the Public Administration Institution (PAI) of Washingoton Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) on February 4, 2004.

"I can't help thinking about Justice Myron Leavitt, our long time Asian American friend of Nevada, who died so unexpectedly. This brings to my mind the urgency of our times in Las Vegas. We note the vanishing of many heroes that built the world of Nevada after 1963. We recognize that the best way to honor those who have gone before us is to rise up and find the greatness in our own lives, the strength of charater, the vision and courage, the determination and selflessness to address the challenges that still lay before us," says Dr. Tony Lei, President of WBTI, for the Event and Dinner Party held by the Asian American Community of Nevada on February 4, 2004 in Las Vegas.

Asian American Community has won recognition for contribution to Nevada by the American Mainstream. The main reason for this recognition is the great and cooperative wisdom and effort that we the Asian American communities have continuously participated and offered to the mainstream society in Nevada.*16

A paper published by the International Conference on Technology
and Education inspired experience for the Implementation of
Computer Education in Asian Public Schools
By Tiffany Chang

The following is the main context of a papper by Dr. Tony T. Lei after his research of the implementation of computer education in U. S. public schools. The former paper on the computer education in U. S. public schools was published by the International Conference on Technology and Education for its ICTE New Orleans 1996 Conference:

"To implemente computer education to public schools has been very interested by several Asian countries. In this era, there are three ingredients for a successful economy and business in the knowledge economy world: (1) continually advancng technology, (2) entrepreneurship, and (3) innovation. To learn and to imitate is one of the practical ways fo entrepreneurship. By following this philosophy, American experience and practice may play an important role to increase the possibility of success for the implementation of computer education in Asia.

A study has tried to discuss several major pitfalls that have prevented planned changes in computer education from being successful. To cope with those obstacles, Agoura High School had a successful experience in implementing compute education. Research result revealed that the computer group surpassed the non-computer group in post-test mathematics scores after they were adjusted for initial differences in pre-test mathematics scores and for actual days of attendance. Microcomputes has been considered to be an effective tools for learning by Agoura High.

The following pitfalls were the reasons why funds were ceased fo its ineffectiveness of the implementation of computer education though superficial success was reported by East Vermont Elementay School:

(1) Ineffective Communication
Teachers who were responsible for the implementation of the change were not informed adequately and fully. Institutional members wee mostly lacking clarity about the change that they were being requested to implement. More than half of the teachers influenced by the innovation did not have a clear image of the role play and work performance expected of them.

(2) Lack of Developed Constituencies
Before the implementing of the computer class, few effort was devoted to establish constituencies, neither it was there during the implementing. The high frequency of fail in efforts at change could in part be attibuted to the failure to see teacher as a constituency.

(3) Ignorance of the Organizational Dynamics
A review of the Vermont's story could let us know that one of the obstacles was that organizational conditions existing prior to and during the innovation's introduction were imcompatible with the innovation. Information were not provided by management in advance concerning the change, the need for it, and the way in which it would influence the people involved.

(4) Lack of Effective Evaluation
There was no formative evaluation before the implementation of the computer class program. Summative evaluation was also weak without the using of any proper achievement test.

In short, there is no doubt for us to agree that pitfalls must be considered in implementing and sustaining changes in a public school."

Dr. Tony Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute, pointed out, "Computer education has been an urgent need for many schools in Asia. It is clever for us to learn entrepreneurship which has brought America the leading, prosperous, and advanced country in this world. It will help our implementation of the computer education better by using entrepreneurship with modern knowledge and technology."

(Concise) Messages from President Dr. Andrew Benton of Pepperdine University, U. S. A.
By Dr. Andrew K. Benton*1

WE ARE AWASH IN INFORMATION TODAY, with what is being done, how, and by whom, but the truly crucial question to ask is why? What is its purpose?

...................................

..... The message reminds us of many things, but especially, it turns us again to our purpose: educating the hearts as well as the minds of the students who come our way. Therein rests our unique purpose.*2

.......................................

Minful of the purpose behind all that we strive to do, we move forward with confidence, fortunate guardians of a trust that we must ensure for future generation.*3

Promise are important to our community. The promise we make today provide the foundation for the work we will do tomorrow. Faithfulness to our heritage ennobles and illuminates all that we do. I have not forgotten the pormise I made in my inaugural address as I took office in the year 2000.*4

Since beginning the leadership opportunity, I continue to believe that our greatest challenge are contained in the areas of resources, deversity, heritage, community, and scholarship. We have managed our resources well during this challenging period. We have increased our diversity.

I think our heritage provides light, really good light, for learning. We illumininate lives with immutable truths and notions of oughtness and rightness. We ask no quarter in our competition with the finest, shinning institutions of learning in America, and we offer the brilliance and the unique dimension of values in our classes. We invite the presence of God in the midst of all that we do: that, more than anything else, lights our way.

As much as I feel urgency about other things, I feel urgency about fidelity and constancy and stewarship in our heritage of faith. there is power in imagery, and there is power in words. Here are some of the most powerful works I've seen --- our mission statement:

"Pepperdine is a christian university committed to the highest standards of academic excellence and Christian values, where students are strenghtened for lives of purpose, service, and leadership."*5

Response to the President's State of the Union Address
By U. S. Congresswoman SHELLEY BERKLEY*1

Dear Tony,

Earlier this evening I attended the President's State of the Union address, and I want to share some thoughts with you about it. While the President is very adept at articulating admirable ideals, he owed the nation fewer generalities and more straight talk about the challenges we face and how the nation will meet those challenges.*2

It was disappointing that the President declined to offer any assessment of the Iraqi government's current ability to stabilize Iraq or when real progress may be seen. Absent was any measure of the American commitment that will be needed to attain the victory and reconstruction of which he spoke. I call on the President to level with the American people so the nation may effectively support our troops, see them through to a successful mission, and bring them home as soon as possible.

Iran poses a grave threat to peace and our security. I completely agree with the President's commitment to oppose the repressive, totalitarian, and terrorist regime in that country and to help the Iranian people replace it with a true democracy. I call on the President to join me in strongly supporting the Iran Freedom Support Act. This bill bans the transfer of technology and money from any nation to the Iranian terrorist regime. The bill is supported by a large majority of the House, but we need the President's support to move it forward.

I also agree with the President that the new Hamas leaders of the Palestinian legislature must reject terrorism, recognize Israel, and work for peace. I urge the President to be resolute in keeping the pressure on Hamas to turn away from its violent tactics. Today I introduced bipartisan legislation to prevent U.S. support for an organization that continues to call for the destruction of our ally, Israel, and continues to advocate violence.

Here at home, the President spoke of our economic strength but his rosy rhetoric omitted any candid comment on our economic liabilities. There was no mention of the budget deficit, ballooning trade imbalance, or shrinking real incomes of workers in Nevada and across the nation.

Certainly his goal of cutting unnecessary spending matches my view, but unfortunately his track record shows the wrong priorities. He has focused on cutting Medicaid for the most needy, shrinking funding for student grants and loans, underfunding the No Child Left Behind Act, and shortchanging job training programs, among other critical components needed to keep us strong at home.

It is impossible to reconcile the President's unwillingness to provide essential funding for education with his proposal tonight for a new initiative to stimulate innovation that depends on more education resources. As in so many other instances, I am concerned that the President will be "all show and no go" with this idea. I look forward to working with my colleagues in the House, Democrats and Republicans alike, who demand of the President responsible spending priorities.

I welcome the President's comments on our critical need for new energy technologies to end our dependence on foreign oil. This is absolutely necessary for our economy and for world security. But the fact is, his energy policy has always favored gigantic tax breaks and subsidies for the oil industry while providing inadequate funding and vision for alternative energy development. I am willing to trust the President's intentions, but I will demand that he verify his commitment in coming months by providing the resources and vision to lead us out of, as he puts it, an "addiction to oil".

I have introduced legislation promoting clean, renewable energy resource development. I call on the President to back up his words tonight and not leave us wondering years from now whatever happened to his proposal, just as we have yet to see any progress whatsoever on his idea for hydrogen cars that was outlined only a few years ago.

I am especially alarmed that the President is pushing for a massive increase in the construction of nuclear plants, with plans to export nuclear technology across the globe. While he calls the plan "clean and safe", the fact is it relies on technology that the U.S. has banned for decades because of the potential for its use in producing materials for nuclear bombs. At a time when we are locked in a deadly serious struggle with Iran to prevent that nation from using nuclear power technology to mask its bomb-making program, the President is proposing world wide proliferation of that very technology.

His nuclear proposal also will result in an increase in nuclear waste from U.S. plants, and possibly from around the globe, that will be destined for Yucca Mountain. This is a direct threat to every Nevadan and everyone living along global nuclear transportation routes.

The President's words on healthcare did not inspire confidence. His emphasis on health savings accounts and medical legal liability does not come close to providing a comprehensive approach to checking escalating health care costs and providing affordable insurance.

The President did not emphasize, and with good reason, the woefully inadequate and complicated Medicare prescription drug program that his administration created. It's a system that provides billions for pharmaceutical and insurance companies while providing scant coverage and in some cases, no coverage. We can do better, and we must do better. I continue to work in Congress to create a good prescription drug benefit-one that offers strong coverage and holds down costs by allowing Medicare to negotiate for lower drug prices, a provision the President has road blocked in order to boost the bottom line of drug companies.

A large majority of Americans believe the country is on the wrong track under President Bush. I agree with their assessment. However, I will take at face the President's call for cooperation between our political parties, independents, and among conservatives, centrists, and liberals. America's elected officials must work together. While I strongly disagree with the President's record and many of his proposals, I am hopeful that honest and open debate will produce policies to solve the problems we must deal with as a nation and global leader

Sincerely,

(Signiture)

Thanks to the concern about our mining and people of Nevada
By Tiffany Chang

It is true of all countries that the role of government has grown in the recent years. The state has no longer limited, as in the past years, largely to maintaining internal order and external defense, providing a minimum of basic services, and raising taxation to pay for these activities. Many governments of the developed countries have expanded for a wide variety of reasons: economic recession, war, social justice, help for underpriviledged, protection of minority rights, demand for the redistribution of income or wealth, and the ideas of social reformers.

"States are now concerned with a mix of policies concerning social welfare, ecnomic management, and protection of the environment. A substantial part of government budgets is spend on defense, either directly on the armed forces and weaponry or indirectly on research and the development of technology. But spending on social services is now the largest item in many budgets and continues to grow as people live longer and more is spend on pensions and hospitals." *1

"In all states --- whether liberal, socialist, conservative, or communist --- there is some economic planning, though to considerably different degrees. Attempts are made to stimulate economic growth, to increase employment, to check inflation, to get favorable balance of trade with foreign countires, and to regulate industry and other economic activities, from mining coal to making cigaretes. Governments have recently become increasing aware of ecological and aesthetic issues and of the need to improve the quality of life in their countires." *2

Outer space contains a wealth of mineral matter in planets and asteroids, but can we send space ships up and haul back the riches at the present time? The ocean is a vast resource of minerals, many of which are dissolved in the water itself. However, the concentrations of most dissolved minerals are generally too low to be of economic importance.

"In the short run, strategic supplies can help us weather sudden embargoes. That problem seems well taken care of. In the long run, however, the outlook is mix. Some mineral supplies are adequate for many years to come, even at an increase rate of use. But other important minerals, for which no known substitutes exist, are fast on the decline. Gold, mercury, and silver are examples of such minerals. Something must be done, and done quickly, to bridge the gap." *3

For this and related reasons, the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) is pleased to have me post the Governor Kenny C. Guinn's Press Release on February 25, 2004 from the Office of Governor as in the following:

GOVERNOR THANKS DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR FOR PHOENIX SUPPORT*4

CARSON CITY - Gov. Kenny Guinn*5 today expressed thanks to Secretary of the Interior Gale Norton for her support of a mining project in Battle Mountain that will mean 250 long-term jobs for that area.

Newmont Mining Corporation's Phoenix Project has received a Record of Decision by the Department of the Interior, which is the final action for the project's approval. The project expands Newmont/Battle Mountain's gold mining operations in the vicinity of Battle Mountain, creating 250 high-paying jobs and generating tax revenues for Nevada and Lander County. The project has an estimated operational life of 28 years, followed by five years of reclamation. In addition, Newmont will engage in reclamation efforts of a nearby old copper mine.

"Secretary Norton and President Bush continue to show strong support for issues that are of importance to our state, in this case the delicate balance between maintaining the mining economy and looking out for the environment," Gov. Guinn said.*5 "Creating more jobs in rural Nevada has always been a top priority, and this project will prove to be of great benefit to our state. The proposed plan contains strong clean-up and reclamation actions of extensive historic mining activity in the area, which will further enhance our efforts in maintaining the unique environmental character of rural Nevada."

"America is a stronger and better nation because of the hard work and the faith and the entrepreneurial spirit of immigrants," said President Bush of the United States of America on Wendesday, January 7, 2004. "Our nation needs an immigration system that serves the American economy and reflets the American dream." *2

U. S. Senator John Ensign has served the people of Nevada from his days as a veterinarian, small business owner, and U.S. Congressman to his present role as the 24th U.S. Senator for Nevada. His great-grandfather first came to Nevada almost a hundred years ago as a miner and labored in its towns. This respectable man worked hard to provide for his family and taught his children the value of hard work, integrity, and independence. Senator John Ensign fights successfully for his people, land, and country. Jonn's successful story is a model for many individuals all around the world.

Strengthened by faith in God and family, we knew in our hearts that with hard work, perseverance, and the help of newly found neighbors and friends, we could indeed achieve the American dream. ---U. S. Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao*3

Elaine Chao believes deeply in the American dream because she has lived it. Her successful life gives eloquent testimony to the virtues of hard work and perseverance and to the unending promise of this great country. 桮eorge W. Bush*4

Senators from both parties at the Education, Health, Labor and Pensions Committee hearing hailed Ms. Chao, who immigrated from Taiwan when she was 8, as the incarnation of the American dream. 桾he New York Times*5

"It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Las Vegas for the 28th Annual Convention of the Taiwan Benevolent Association of America. I hope that, during your time here, you will be able to experience some of the many attractions that our beautiful city has to offer. ....., I commend you on your dedication to promoting understanding between the people of Taiwan and the United States through educational, cultural, economic, and scientific programs. Your contributions to the betterment of the communities in which you live have had a significant positive impact on the quality of life for the families who reside in those communities," wrote U. S. Senator John Ensign in his Greetings Letter to Taiwan Benevolent Association of America.*6

"In righteousness we shall be established. In this 21th Century new era and society, we need economic growth, but we also need to establish and promote creativity, fairness and Justice, serve and love, educational knowledge, and spirit engineering. We wish that a pure spring may prosper and enrich our splendid and golden country through: the elegant properties of freedom, democracy, entrepreneurship, and justice; the power of public service that based on 'knowledge is the power of righteouness,'; the advancement of technology, innovation, and civilization; and the spirit that 'knowledge calls, ultimately, for a life of service'. We believe that a thing of beauty is a joy forever. With the effort and participation of many intellectuals, leaders, officials, among others through benevolent spirit and brotherly love, the 28th Convention of TBAA is really marvelous," pointed out President Dr. Tony Lei of Washington Business and Technology Institute.*7

"John Ensign and Elaine Chao are two of the most comtemporary heroes who have realized the Ameican Dream which was encouraged for a long time by U. S. Senator Harry Reid. Under the spiritual leadership of them, WBTI has a bright endeavor for its proclamation and creed on the belief that the encouragement and promotion of academic research, community service, and humane spirit will bring our effort for a peaceful and prosperous community," said Christine Hu, Esq. at the time when she was informed of her appointment as an Assistant Fellow of the Public Administration Institution (PAI) by WBTI on December 16, 2003.*8

John Ensign honored as Vice Chairman of the Advisory Board of WBTI
By Tiffany Chang

North Las Vegas Justice Court Judge-elect Natalie Tyrell once wrote a letter of appreciation to Dr. Tony Lei from her Office, "....I want to share with you my favorite quote. It is by the great Winston Churchill. It exemplifies the driving force by which I start out each day. He said, 'We all make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.' ...." By the act of love itself, we are enriched. Love in action is service above self. We encourage people to make service a part of our characters and experience the abundant reward that comes from serving others.

U. S. Senator-elect John Ensign's great-grandfather first came to Nevada almost a hundred years ago as a miner and labored in its towns. This respectable man worked hard to provide for his family and taught his children the value of hard work, integrity, and independence. "The significance of life is to build and educate the continuous lives of the universe," said Dr. Tony Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI). People came to America to seek the American dream. Even though not all of them can realize their American dream, eventually they could teach and help their children accomplish their contributions to our country.

As a born-again Christian, people have been inspired by his sincererity, humbleness, and credibility much more than just his wealthy and handsome appearance now. 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 very frustrated with his first taste of political failure, when he lost by a mere 428 votes to U. S. Senator Harry Reid. However, he believes God and has surrendered his fate to God. John's faith in God helped him to overcome his frustration and disappointment and enabled him to continue to strive to succeed. The Bible says "...though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith - of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire - may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed (1 Peter 1:6-7)". If a window was closed, God might re-open the window or even open a different door for those who are eager to utilize his or her knowledge and expertise to serve. As all Christians acknowledge - with God, anything is possible.

People believed with John that he said, "I have the passion for the fight and the unshakable belief that together we can build a better Nevada." In the Pastor Teis' meeting Office, John agreed with Dr. Tony Lei, also a born-again Chrisitan, that WBTI would honor him as Advisor and Vice Chairman of its Advisory Board. In the first paragraph of this column on September 15, it is 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 enthusiastic support of the Thai Performing Arts." John received Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree form the Colorado State University in 1985. He accepted Dr. Tony 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 words to seniors. His scholastic and gentle appearance has won a lot of applause and respect.

In community service, Dr. Tony 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: "...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 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." Power in politics should have a direction that the power based on knowledge is the power of righteousness. We wish that a pure fountain may prosper and enrich our spendid and golden country through the spirit that knowledge calls, ultimately, for a life of service. "In God we trust. Life is for the purpose to serve our lovely society," Dr. Tony Lei stated.

In Seniors United, we shall have a nice celebrating party for Christmas with good entertainment. We invited heartfeltly all our members and friends to join us a joyful reunion. Wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!*9

John Ensign: a born-again Christian
By Tiffany Chang

It is not very possible for anybody all the way with good luck from the beginning to the end of his or her whole life. One will enevitably face somekind of frustration. The attitude that one holds in facing one's frustration will, nevertheless, decide what would be his or her fate to be followed. If anybody gives up soon after he or she gets a frusration or difficulty, then the following days for his or her life will most probably be in dead end.

John Ensign has been impressived as a handsome, strong, and rich man. He has been long time identified as son of big casino leading figure of Mandalay Bay. John believes the struglling effort to success. He used to remind us of his humble beginnings. His mother was a change girl in Reno. Supporting three children with no help from her ex-husband when she met and married Mike Ensign. She went on to become a person and now she is the wife of famous Chairman of Mandalay Bay Group. John's great-grandfather first came to Nevada almost a hundred years ago as a miner and labored in its towns. This respectable man worked hard to provide for his family and teach his children the value of hard work, integrity, and independence. "The significance of life is to build and educate the continuous lives of the universe," said Dr. Tony Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI). People came to here even not being able for all of them to realize their American dream but eventurely they could teach and help their children accomplish their contributions for our country.

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 lots of applause and respect from knowledgeable ladies in social activities. It was when he was attending veterinarian school that John became a born-again Christian. He was urging by Darlene to become involved in a men's Christian group.

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 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.

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 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.

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. "I am delighted and honored to be appointed as an Associate Fellow of the Public Administration Institution of Washington Business and Technology Institute.

To encourage and assist the planning and implementation of outstanding projects is one of the mission of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) since its establishment in January 8, 1996.*3 It is our pleasure to post the following information for Tsinghua University and the Wang Foundation:

Planning Document by Peter C.C. Wang, December 22, 2005

Annual Summer Service and Learning Program and the China Symposium

Through Years 2006 -2010

Sponsored by

Tsinghua University and the Wang Foundation

Tsinghua University and the Wang Foundation hereby agree to collaborate on an annual summer program in which American students may participate in a service learning experience in cooperation with the “Poverty Alleviation through Education Project” of Tsinghua University. Such activities shall be reviewed, summarized and promoted through the China Symposium.

Who and When:

Administered by: Tsinghua University

Supported by: Tsinghua University and Wang Foundation

The Wang Foundation is a non-profit organization that supports projects to strengthen Sino-U.S. relations through increased understanding of China by sending more American students to study in China.

The first Summer Service and Learning Program will be administered by Tsinghua University in Beijing. The duration of the Project is from July 22, 2006 to August 21, 2006.

The first China Symposium on “Globalization, Poverty and Sino-US Relations” will be held at Tsinghua University, Beijing, from November 27 to 29, 2006.

Background for:

Summer service and learning program.
The China Symposium on “Globalization, Poverty and Sino-US Relations”
The “Poverty Alleviation through Education Project,” established at Tsinghua University, is designed to disseminate information and knowledge to the poorest regions of China by employing advanced information technologies. The Chinese central government has identified and designated 592 counties as the poorest regions in China where such a poverty alleviation project is urgently needed.

Since 1979, when Deng Xiaoping launched his market economy policy in China, over 400 million Chinese have been lifted from poverty. This is a result of intense negotiations between President Jimmy Carter and Deng Xiaoping, culminating in the establishment of full diplomatic relation between China and US on January 1, 1979.

The Wang Foundation desires to work with dedicated people in China and in the U. S. in launching a new initiative for a Post-Deng Era movement that will lift another 400 million Chinese out of poverty in the next 20 years.

The annual symposium is designed to enhance this initiative with discussions and the sharing of views on the following topics:

We need more globalization, not less.
We need to integrate poverty alleviation consideration as the most important component in all work related to globalization.
We need to narrow the gap between the haves and have-nots: this is singularly crucial to China’s future economic development.
We need to improve Sino-US relations through knowledge of each other’s culture.
We believe that a peaceful world is attainable through interaction among the young.
Student participation in the Poverty Alleviation through Education Project will enhance understanding of China at all levels. This Project is our first step towards improved Sino-US relations.

Tsinghua University has established 100 e-learning centers among 592 poor counties throughout China during the past three years. It is the University’s intention to accelerate such expansions to cover all 592 counties with e-learning centers within the next five years. Tsinghua University has delivered training courses through their nationwide distance-learning network system by adopting multiple technologies, such as satellite broadcasting networks and cable TV, to government officials, primary and middle school teachers and students, and administrators from town enterprises.

The Summer Service and Learning Project will add a significant new dimension: in addition to all the vocational training courses designed to spread useful applied knowledge, Chinese teachers, local county officials and students will have access to instruction of conversational English by native speakers. The project will help American students to learn and understand the real China first-hand, not as tourists, but as participants. There is no need for prior Chinese language knowledge because each American student will be teamed up with a Tsinghua student throughout the entire stay in China. Such month-long program for the American students is believed to be better than most immersion program for Chinese language and culture training in existence.

Details of the Summer Program:

Number of American students: 25-75 during first year, to be expanded in second year.

Number of Tsinghua students: Same number of Tsinghua students as American students

Host Institution: School of Continuing Education, Tsinghua University.

Basic terms and conditions: Participating American students are responsible for their own international travel plus health and accident insurance. Same terms and conditions are applicable to any university staff or faculty members accompanying their students. All domestic travel, room and board in China are paid for by Tsinghua University. Each American student will receive a certificate of completion awarded by Tsinghua University.

Details of the First China Symposium:

Potential Invited Speakers: (plus speakers from China)

Jimmy Carter ‘A review of recent Sino-US Relations’ (pending)

President Hu to open the symposium (conditional yes)

George Russell ‘Globalization and Poverty’ (confirmed)

Someone from Norway (pending)

Attendees:

All symposium attendees are by invitation only. At this time, it is anticipated to be around 100 from outside China, 100 from within China.

WBTI President's Message on January 1, 2006

Whether you are man or woman, each of us have the instinct to travel. We live in this world for a good purpose, not "to have and to hold", but "to give and to serve others." We help others as if we need to continue to pay rent for our time here on earth. Those who "pay rent" by serving those in need of our assistance, are the individuals who are indeed most happy and at peace.

Since being established on January 8, 1996, the distringuished officers and members of the Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) have persevered with a fiery spirit to serve its purpose in helping the community. We have endured and weathered many obstacles, and miraculously we have survived and grown into a strong organization.

WBTI formulated and implemented several important projects in 2005. WBTI also assisted several associations and organizations in planning and conducting successful parties and events. This is evidenced by the more than 12 awards and proclamations received from the State of Nevada, Clark County, U. S. Senators and Congressmen and other high-ranking members of the community.

Innovation is the key to success. Managers are constantly searching the globe for new ideas. Modern companies view information and technology (IT) as a major competitive differentiator. Strategic businesses emphasize the use of information technology for effective management. International companies develop their global IT platforms by integrating hardware, software and Internet-based network architecture worldwide. Commuunication technology, such as teleconferencing and computer networks, are making it possible for people from subsidiaries around the world to work together on a single project or multiple projects.

Many business are becoming global and moving toward transnational e-business strategies in which they
integrate the worldwide business activities between their subsidiaries and headquarters. In the coming year, 2006, WBTI will continue to monitor and promote further innovative activities in the international perspective arena.

Washington Business and Technology Institute should be credited due to our remarkable leadership and our hardworking members. WBTI is neither made up of statues or fountains, nor landsacapes or waterscapes. Rather, WBTI is made up of actual hardworking and dedicated persons -- its faculty, advisory members, administrators and numerous friends and allies within the community.

Many thanks to the Las Vegas Review-Journal for providing WBTI with a website so that we can continue to communicate easily and expeditiously. You're on Google.com and Google.cn, if you're on Washington
Business and Technology Institute's website (http://communitylink.reviewjournal.com/lvrj/wbti)" [WBTI]. Google.com and Google.cn are published approximately every ten days for most of the sections of this website.

For many years, one of WBTI's most important functions is to acknowledge and celebrate the achievements of certain individuals. In 2005, we have had the pleasure to honor several individuals who have made outstanding accomplishments in many special fields.

President Dr. Andrew K. Benton of Pepperdine University inspired us by the following: "Reaching up, reaching
beyond, always pressing forward; this is the passion of the human spirit." We are certainly being challenged! At the beginging of this splendid year, I wish everybody success in their endeavors, prosperity, good health and a happy life!
