Jackie Glass appoints Adjunct Associate Professor of the GSBPA of Washington Business and Technology Institute
By Valorie Vega, Bill Young, and Tiffany Chang

The Titus 2:7-8 of Bible tells us that, "In everything set ...an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemmed."*1

In meeting with the large and growing population of public employees in the states of Asia and Nevada, Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) will open its training programs for the increasing graduate study and research needs of professional public administrators. To emphasize the balance of the practicality and theoraticality of the programs, the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of WBTI has supported by many high-ranking officials of Nevada in offering their times, experiences, and knowledge to teach at an honorary or adjunct capacity.*2

"Through the recommendation by our several faculty members including District Judge Valorie Vega, Ms. Jackie Glass has been appointed Adjunct Associate Professor of the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) on March 9, 2004," announced Dr. John Wang, Spokesman of WBTI, on March 10, 2004 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Following the spirit of entrepreneurship, Jackie Glass has always been willing to take a challenge head on. Now she is on her challenge!

While still in high school, Jackie worked as a waitress to help buy her school supplies and school clothes. When she decided to attend the University of Georgia, she continued as a waitress and worked her way through college. She took on extracurricular assignments, and earned a degree in journalism.

Her journalism career brought Jackie to Las Vegas in 1978 where she began as a radio news reporter. She moved quickly to television and served as both a morning anchor and crime beat reporter. As she followed the course of the trials she covered, she watched attorneys in action, and knew she could do as well. A new challenge lay before her.

Once again, she worked her way through college, graduating from the University of San Diego School of Law. In 1984, Jackie passed the Nevada Bar exam before graduation, received her Juris Doctor Degree,*3 was admitted to the Nevada Bar, and married her husband, Steve Wolfson.

With her husband, Jackie worked to build their successful law practice while helping at her daughters' school, chaperoning field trips to Washington, DC, supporting the Girl Scouts and projects such as Nevada Reading Week.

On the professional side, Jackie has lectured at the UNLV Boyd School of Law, spoke on law topics at local high schools, and appeared on the KLVX show, "Law for the Layman". She has devoted years as a hearing master to juvenile, domestic and paternity issues as well as criminal law.

She credits her seventeen years of legal experience and her work as a journalist on the crime beat for giving her an insight for the law, the role of the judiciary, the needs of victims, and for ways to make our system work better.

She served as a member of the Las Vegas Housing Authority Board and spent six years as a Board Member of the Senior Citizens Law Project.

As a District Court Judge of Department 5, Nevada, Jackie Glass is part of a new generation involved with her family, her profession and her community to make a difference for all of us here in our Silver State.

People with integrity live with clear consciences. "To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice," stated in the Proverbs 21:3 of Bible.*4

"I agree with Judge Valorie Vega's idea to be honored as a Fellow of the Public Administration Institution (PAI) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI). She wrote: 'It will undoubtedly provide me with avenuess for exploring improvements in public services to which I am most dedicated.' I'm glad also to share the similar position as its faculty member--- Obligatory Legal Counselor of Pan Pacific and Asian American Forum (PPAAF).

"It's significant. Dr. Tony Lei told me that for comunity service --- that based on 'love in action is service above self' --- the abundanct reward from one's humune love, spiritual excellence, and professionalism of expertise are far more greater than solely his or her title," said Jackie Glass, Esq. on April 18, 2002. Jackie is now a famous District Judge of Nevada.*5

On March 9, 2004 at the Event and Dinner Party held by the Asian American Community for Ms. Ellen Knowlton, Special Agent in Charge, FBI, as the Speaker; Jackie was very pleased to learn from Dr. Tony Lei, President of WBTI, that she was challenged with a teaching professionalism in the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration of WBTI for our community at an adjucnt capacity.*6

U. S. Senator Harry Reid fights for Nevada and America
By Tiffany Chang

As U. S. Senator Harry Reid fights for Nevada and America, "I'd like to share with everybody some of the golden words from Bible: 'Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun,'" Dr. Tony Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) points out.

On February 25, 2004, U. S. Senators Harry Reid and John Ensign urged federal regulations to prevent Enron Corp. from collecting a $330 million judgement from Nevada Power Co. and Sierra Pacific Power Co.*2

They sent a letter described as "harshly worded" demanding that Federal Energy Regulatory Commission intervene in a lawsuit that Enron brought against the Nevada utities.

"The issues raised by the complaint and by the e-mails from Enron that are already before you appear to demonstrate that Enron was abusing termination provisions... as a way to generate cash for their creditors," said the Senators in the letter.*3

U. S. Senator Harry Reid seeks gasoline price probe for Nevada. The Senator announced on February 26, 2004 that he urged the Federal Trade Commission to investigate the increase in Nevada gasoline prices and "possible market manipulation." *4

"Las Vegas prices are some of the highest in the nation, topping $2.00 per gasoline for regular unleaded gasoline and nearly $2.30 for premium blends," Senator Reid wrote to FTC Chairman Timothy Murison February 25, 2004.*4 He expressed his "extremely concerned" about the sharp increase in gasoline prices in this State.

As for the election in 2004, Secretary of the Nevada State Dean Heller has decided not to run for the U. S. Senator against Harry Reid. Heller said that the incumbent is probably unbeatable and that Reid's clout in Washington is important for Nevada.

"Voters have been very vocal across this state about their concern for losing clout in Washington," Heller said. "There's a real concern about the seniority." *6

The author is pleased to post the Press Release of "Whip Round Up" by the Office of U. S. Senator Harry Reid in Washington D. C. as in the following:*7

"Reid for Nevada"
Reid and Ensign Combat Enron

Senators Harry Reid and John Ensign are fighting to stop the Enron Corp. from charging Nevadans $300 million for electric power the company never delivered. In a letter this week to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Reid and Ensign demanded an investigation into the matter.

"Reid Questions Gasoline Price Spike"

Senator Reid also asked the Federal Trade Commission to investigate the sharp increase in gasoline prices in Nevada, after prices for regular unleaded fuel broke $2 per gallon. Reid wants to know why Nevada's gasoline prices are almost 30 cents higher than the national average.*8

"Reid, Ensign Announce New Head Start Grant"

Senators Reid and Ensign announced that the Washoe Tribe of Gardnerville will receive a grant of almost $200,000 for Head Start programs, which help young children get ready to succeed in school.

"Working with Nevadans"

Senator Reid met with Nevada Disabled American Veterans to discuss his long battle to end the ban on "concurrent receipt" of retirement pay and disability benefits.

Nevada PTA President DJ Stutz, left, and PTA Treasurer Gwen Moresi present Senator Reid with a PTA pin in appreciation for his support of education in the Silver State.

"Week in Review"

Reid Supports Right of Police to Carry Firearms - Senator Reid is a co-sponsor of a measure that would allow current and retired law enforcement officers to carry concealed firearms at any time, providing they have proper identification. Permitting police to carry weapons while they are off duty would protect the public, as well as the officers and their families. The measure was offered Thursday as an amendment to the firearms liability bill that is currently before the Senate.

"Reid Works to Protect Nevada's Seniors" -- Senator Harry Reid introduced legislation to protect senior citizens in Las Vegas and Reno from a Medicare experiment that could force them to pay more for health care or lose the ability to choose their own doctor. The experiment, part of the Medicare bill that President Bush signed last year, will be conducted in six cities nationwide. Reid's bill would exempt Las Vegas and Reno.*9

"Reid Honored As 'Champion of Student" Success'- Senator Reid was honored by the leaders of the GEAR UP program, which helps students reach their education goals through partnerships between the public and private sectors. A $5 million grant from the SBC Foundation will increase GEAR UP partnerships in Nevada and 12 other states.

"INSIDER'S CALENDAR"
The Senate will convene Monday, March 1, and resume consideration of the Gun Liability bill. The Senate is expected to begin voting on amendments to the bill at 5:00 p.m. Monday.
The Senate is expected to complete action on the Gun Liability bill on Tuesday. For the remainder of the week, the Senate may consider the FSC/ETI (Foreign Sales) bill.

"Reid's Words"
I was stunned that the Economic Report of the President suggested fast food jobs could be re-classified as "manufacturing." Our nation has lost almost three million manufacturing jobs, and we need real solutions - not wishful thinking - to revive this important sector of our economy.*10

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

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.*2

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."*3

The Fuels for Schools Program in Nevada, U. S. A.
By Kenny C. Guinn*1

I am headed off to Ely on Saturday. While there I will tour a local school involved in a pilot program that is known as the Fuels for Schools Program. I wanted to take a moment to tell you a little bit about this program because it not only helps our citizens in rural Nevada but it also has other benefits for the state.*2

The David E. Norman Elementary School in Ely has several buildings on its campus that were constructed between 1957 and 1990. The out-of-date heat plant for the facility is a hodge-podge of aging technologies, including oil-fired boilers, which produce hot water and steam heat, and electric baseboard heat. These old systems are expensive to maintain and to operate.

Remarkably, a member of our State Division of Forestry came up with a novel concept that will allow this school to receive a state-of-the-art heating system that will utilize a low-emission, more economical biomass fuel source. Working with officials from the White Pine County School District and the U.S. Forest Service, the State Division of Forestry has obtained $340,000 in federal grant funds. This grant will pay for the purchase and installation of a biomass or wood-chip heating system that will be fueled by a portion of the thousands of tons of branches, twigs, and needles that are cleared to abate forest and rangeland fire dangers.

This pilot project is a wise investment for our state, and it may create new jobs in cash; strapped Ely. Also, the program will free up resources for this small community because the cost to heat this one school will decrease by up to 40 percent. Further, it will reduce the need to import fuel oil and result in a cleaner, low-cost heating source. Finally, it will better utilize the waste materials that the state generates as it reduces the threat of wildfires for our rural communities, which previously burdened our landfills.

I am proud that we have been able to act to take advantage of the Fuels for Schools Program. It represents a good example of how a state employee, working in conjunction with school district employee Paul Johnson and others, used insight, experience, and creativity to better serve Ely, its residents, and all the citizens of Nevada.*3

One of our positive thinking: With love we'll be like in the heaven
By Cheryl Moss, Jessie Walsh, and Tiffany Chang

It is about two years since the feature article entitled "Judge Kolkoski honors Dr. and Mrs . Tony Lei with reunion dinner," written by Tiffany Chang, was published by "Nevada Examiner."*1 "We always think of our relatives and closed friends when it comes with the festival," is a famous idom in Chinese. A sample of this spirit may be revealled in the letters from Harry Reid, Archie Chang, Peter Wang, Bob Ni, among others to Dr. and Mrs. Tony Lei.

To a friend's house the road is never long. Let's share together with some of the golden words about firendship from the Bible: (1)Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselved. --- Romans 12: 10 (2)A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. --- Proverbs 17: 17 (3) He who loves a pure heart and whose speech is gracious will have the king for his friend. --- Proverbs 22: 11*2

As a sincere believer of God, we found that we can even live as in the heaven in this World at the present.*3 Whether people is living in the Heaven or in the Hell is up to his or her selection. With sincere love, you are likely to live in the Heaven. With cruel hate, you are likely live in the Hell. To fight and destroy each others for property and fame is where the place called Hell. To cooperate with each others to promote our quality of life will be the place where we people may make it as a Heaven.

Therfore, the Heaven is where the place full of love while the Hell is where the place full of hate. It is all depending on your heart to see whether you are in the Heaven or in the Hell. By using this standard, you may measure the quality or depth of yours in the Heaven or your in the Hell.

Accordng to the oriental (not Asian) ways of life, people would suspect the one who always find out and praise the good characters and accomplishment of others. In the
many thousand years of the past, it was one of the factor that hurt the encouragement for innovation and science development for the Asian people and countries.

After a full applause by the audience at his speech, a professor automatically spoke his mind: "The people who enthusiastically give a hand to others, will certainly one day get a lot of more applauses!"

Everytime when he was encouraged and praised by an individual, Dr. Tony Lei used to remind: "The one who knows how to praise other people, is the one herself or himself having certainly lots of more goodness which are worth for us to praise for!"*4

With honor as the Assistant Democratic 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."*5

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."*6

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 says to Dr. 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 says 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

"People worry about the huge amount of creativity that is wasted---lost forever---because talented people are prevented from giving their best by their lack of ability to influence others effectively," wrote Dr. Ken Blanchard in the 'Foreword' of the book entitled "Winning Ways," written by Dick Lyles.*8 "The business world has changed; organizations are getting flatter and more networked. Today, the key to success is one's ability to exercise peer leadership. The most successful individuals shine because of their ability to influence, empower, and energize others. In essence, they embody the principles and practices of Winning Ways."

"Rapid changes in technology and global competition have combined to reshape the corporate landscape. Corporate management has responnded to these changes by iniatating sweeping changes. The introduction of new technology may be touted as a productivity booster and turn out instead to be a total bust. Whatever the problem may be, you're the one who has to deal with it on a daily basis. Even when new ideas are well thought out, there are still problems in putting them into practice within your group," George Fuller wrote in the 'Introduction' of his book, "Win/win management: leading people in the new workplace."*9

There are lots of common headaches most of supervisors and leaders have to confront. "It's easy to understand how the broad scope these problems can easily lead to a less than steller attitude toward your job. However, adoping a sense of futility only serve to make matters worse. On the other hand, maintain a positive attitude helps you place things in perspective and can make coping eith problems a lot easier to do." *10

To advance our projects more effectively for the people and communities who are interested to participate them, we need to emphasize the spirit of positive attitude and positive thinking.

"I agree with Judge Valorie Vega's idea to be honored as a Fellow of the Public Administration Institution (PAI) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI). She wrote: 'It will undoubtedly provide me with avenuess for exploring improvements in public services to which I am most dedicated.' I'm glad also to share the similar position as its faculty member--- Obligatory Legal Counselor of Pan Pacific and Asian American Forum (PPAAF).

"It's significant. Dr. Tony Lei told me that for comunity service --- that based on 'love in action is service above self' --- the abundanct reward from one's humune love, spiritual excellence, and professionalism of expert are far more greater than solely his or her title," said Jackie Glass, Esq. on April 18, 2002. Jackie is now a famous District Judge of Nevada.

People asked another professor whether his speech was wonderful or not. He felt that sometime it was wonderful but sometime not. It all depended on luck. "Only if I've wonderful audience, my speech would be definitely wonderful!" he said.

"It's my good experience, like Senator John Ensign's, to be introduced by Dr. Tony Lei to deliver a speech to our Nevadan seniors in the election year of 2000. I'm glad to have a friend like Tony who can merge the modern scientific methodology of management philosophy with the humane spirit and charitable love to the value and belief of religion. Intelectuals like Nancy Becker, I, Michelle Leavitt, Jessie Walsh, Lisa Brown, Cheryl Moss, Cedric Kerns, Besty Kolkoski, Ann Zimmerman, Natalie Tyrrell, among others in joing with this idea all won in the last election with highest votes within the juridical area. To add to the list including Dr. William Thompson, Dina Titus, and Mark Denton, they are all excellent faculty members of the Public Administraton Institution (PAI) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI)," said District Court Judge Valorie Vega on the event and dinner party held by Asian American Community on April 19, 2002 at the Harbor Palace Chinese Restaurant in Las Vegas.

On May 17, 2002, a dinner party was held by Asian American Community for a special tribute to Las Vegas Municipal Court Judge Michelle Leavitt and Justice of Peace Jennifer Togliatti. It was at the Harbor Palace Chinese Restaurant in China Town, Las Vegas. Kenote Speakers were Michelle and Jennifer. Guest of Honor was District Court (family) Judge Cythia Dianne Steel. Dr. Tony Lei, Chairman of Chinese American Academic Association of Nevada (CAAAN), and Dr. R. D. Prabhu, Chairperson of CAN-DO were Chairmen of the Event and Dinner Party.*3 Hosts were: David Amebury, Steve Kwon, Tonnie Sison, Mike and Rita Vaswani, among others.

"In this generation and society, we need economic growth, but we need also growth in rich ideals, in justice and compassion, in service above self, and in action of love and moral courage. There are two princeples athe the heart of the positive thinking road map: (1) the first principle is the truth in thinking. (2) The second principle is the 12 positive thinking traits," says Dr. Tony Lei.

"The following are 12 traits that charaterize a positive thinker: Optimism. Enthusiam, Belief, Intelligence, Courage, Integrity, Confidence, Judgement, Persistence, Liveliness, Vision, and Desire to excel. Each trait, when leveraged properly, produces powerful results to achieve our goals. These traits, when diligently and wisely applied together with the truh in thinking, allow us to ovecome obtacles and challenges in a positive manner in our lives for accomplishment."

"Develop a clear vision of our prefered future, then get forcused on key activities and efforts that take us in that direction. We shall see performance gains, achieve our goals, and have a happier and more successful life. By persuing our own personal strategic plans with love and service, we will increase our energies, motivations, satisfactions, happiness, and the worthy value of live," Dr. Tony Lei points out.

It is quite an impressive article which was published on the "Chinese Daily News" recently. The author pointed out that an unfavourable habbit of the Chinese people in America is probably the "unbearable to the good things for the other people to have in the Chinese community." A great deal of need for our Chinese people is to give more a big hand to the achievements of the people like Yin Sun Kuan (pronounced in Chinese) who won the 7th times of the World Championship of Skating in the United States. With positive thinking and love in action emphasized by Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) for many years, we expect the best thing that we can do is to turn the above personal trait to the positive thinking of the Chinese "Yu wei tzer yi noi zie!" philosophy of life (If she or he can do it, I can do it also!) *11
