(This is the concise one.) POLITICAL NOTEBOOK: Berkley basks in kickoff to first easy campaign
Congresswoman throws party in North Las Vegas
By ERIN NEFF
REVIEW-JOURNAL
....
On Thursday evening at the Cannery, Berkley showed just how different this year will be thanks to the GOP, which didn't come up with a standard bearer, or even a minor opponent.*4
With no need for aggressive fund raising or advertising, Berkley could throw a party.
And her campaign kickoff event appeared at times like a wedding, at times a rally and most of all like a good-old summer barbecue in a big ethnic neighborhood back East, complete with booze, huge burgers and the band Doo-Wop.com, playing a steady dose of '50s and '60s music.
The bride at this affair was thrilled to take the stage without any notable objections from across the aisle. She faces two grass-roots speed bumps in the Democratic primary before a general election bid against the winner of a three-person GOP primary.
Thursday was her coming out party, and she made it clear to the candidates she allowed microphone time, who was being feted.
....
Berkley, dressed in a shiny red pantsuit with matching shoes, told the crowd of hundreds they could "party all night."
"I wanted to do something different this year," she said from the stage of the North Las Vegas casino's The Club, which had opened its back door to the festivities outdoors.
The rally part came in her very brief stump speech, in which she said: "This election is the most important election in my lifetime, for this nation.*5

"The reward for work done is the opportunity to do more." --- Jonas Salk, MD

"Do to others as you would have them do to you." --- Luke 6 : 31 of the Bible
"The great Winston Churchill said, 'We all make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.' Tony, I know that you like to exemplify this inspiration same as it's my driving force by which I start out each day." --- Judge Natalie L. Tyrrell of Nevada
Dr. Linda Livingstone, Dean of Pepperdine University's Graziadio School of Business and Management, invited several selected and achieved alumni to dinner with her at the Pietro's Gourmet Restaurant of Tropicana Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada on May 14, 2004.
"Dear Dr. Tony Lei: This message will confirm your attendance for dinner with Dr. Linda Livingstone, Dean of Pepperdine University's Graziadio School of Business and Management. If you have arranged with me to bring a guest, your guest (Judge Mark Denton, District Judge of Nevada) is confirmed as well. Thank you and enjoy the dinner. Sincerely," wrote Pamela Bellew, Director, Advancement and Alumni Relations.
The presented individuals as guests were Dr. Tony Lei, Mr. Hector Mon, Dr. Wanda M. Costen, Mr. David Donovan, Mr. Douglas W. Hensley, Mr. Michael Jabara, and Judge Mark Denton.
Dr. Tony Tung-tien Lei received MBA with straight A from Pepperdine University in 1969. He received his Doctor of Education degree in Institutional Management from Pepperdine University in 1990. He was an Assoiciate Professor of Information Management of the Graduate School of Business Administration of National Chunghsin University and a Fellow of Management for Dean Dr. Donald R.

"It's good to have more people joining us as friends of our Pepperdine family," said Dean Livingstone at the Dinner Party.
"It was a pleasure having you join us at our dinner. Thanks to for sending the pictures. They are great," wrote Dr. Livingstone to Robert Song, who sent out the pictures to all participants soon after the Dinner.
Pepperdine University is a very famous university. Its main campus at Malibu, California is the leading beauty of noted universities in the world.
"Pepperdine University has earned a reputation for its responsiveness to career-oriented professionals," said Dr. David Davenport, former President of the University.2* The Graziadio School of Business and Management has enjoined one of the highest reputation for Pepperdine University.*3 To educate executives and managers with innovative knowledge and modern technology is a core competency of the Graziadio School . "Indeed, this year has marked a number of significant benchmarks for the Graziadio School. This fall we welcomed the largest class of full-time M.B.A. students in our school's history," said Dr. Linda Livingstone. "In a time when many business schools have been challeged by decreasing student enrollment, this drasmatic increase --- up more than 305 from last year --- was both a testment to the quality of our curriculum as well as the hard work of our committed staff and faculty. This year's class boasts an average GMAT score of 636 and includes students from more than a dozen countries." *4
A distiguished group of professors is offering speeches and seminars to business owners and executives. Please join Dean Linda A. Livingstone for a special series on executive leadership hosted by the Graziadio School of Business and Management. You may learn what some of today's leading business authors have to say about effectively communicating vision and strategy, building and maintaining a company's reputation, leading an organization to greater success, and much more.
"One of the Graziadio School's core is its ability to successfully address the unique challenges of executive learning. This forum is an important part of an effort to extend Pepperdine's reputation and recognition in this arena. It provides an opportunity for world-class thought leaders in knowledge creation, knowledge dissemination, and knowledge utilization to come together in an informal setting to discuss the key challenges of executive learning and leadership development ," said Dr. Robert Fulner.*5
"Rapidly accelerating change is the critical challenge in virtually every industry today. The complexities of our world demand managers and workers with dramatically increased capavilities. The Graziadio School has been developing value-center leaders for more than a quater century. During that time, it has become the premier provider of quality business talent in California and the western United States." said Dr. Linda Livingstone*6
Pepperdine Pepperdine University MBA ranks first in 15 schools of California.*7
Recently, the Los Angeles Business Journal ranked and reported that Pepperdine University's Graziadio School of Business and Management was named "the pacesetter" in MBA education in Los Angeles County. The School retained top ranking ahead of USC's Marshall School of Business and The Anderson School at UCLA which placed second and third respectively.
As the market share leader in California, graduates of MBA annually from Graziadio School are more than any other school in the state. It is the sixth largest AACSB-accredited school in the United States. The success of this school should be credited to its fruitful efforts to delivering practical, results-oriented education that addresses the needs of working professionals and executives.
Dr. Livingstone received her B.S., M.B.A., and Ph.D. from Oklahoma State University. She assured her responsibilities as the Dean of the School on June 1, 2002.
Dr. Livingstone brought an international perspective to Pepperdine University. She helped develop and teach courses in an MBA program in Jinan, China. She expressed a keen interest in building additional bridges between Pepperdine MBA curriculum and the corporate world based on her prior experience in developing semester-long consulting projects with major companies for MBA students.
"Our Graziadio School is an outstanding business school with a national reputation. It is one of only a few schools across the country that has the potential to build a national and international reputation across all of its programs customized for executives, full-time, and fully employed students. And it is probably the only school with a faith-based mission committed to developing values-centered leaders that can accomplish this goal," said Dr. Livingstone.
At the time of Dr. Linvingstone's appointment, Dr. Tony Lei wished her endeavor to lead the Graziadio School into this millennium with academic excellence, practicality expertise, and spiritual values. A special program of MBA/PKE designed for presidents and key executives internationally is in ugent need for the cooperation of the Graziadio School and WBTI. "The spirit of both innovation and pioneers has motivated America to be a leading and prosperous country in the world. As an integrative academic program of the professional education directed to substantial gains in executive competence, modern technology, innovative knowledge, and spirit of entrepreneurship; an unique feature of one week workshop in Las Vegas for the cooperated MBA/PKE Program should be designed for the Chinese speaking business executives and owners of the international world mainly from China, Malaysia, Singapore, and Taiwan," said Dr. Tony Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute.*8
Coordinated with the faculty members recently, Dr. Tony Lei has designed educational programs of the CPM and MBA/PKE with Dr. Keong Leong; the CMPA and MPA/SME with Dr. Lee Bernick; and the CEH with Dr. William Thompson for the GSBPA of WBTI.
"It's a great market in China for our MBA programs with WBTI's Graduate School of Business and Public Administration," talked Dean Livingstone with Dr. Tony Lei, who sat next to her during the Dinner Party at the Tropicana on May 14, 2004 in Las Vegas. "I'd like Dr. Terry Young go together with your Graduate School for the launching of our MBA programs. Dr. Young is in charge of the international management programs for our Graziadio School of Business and Management," she continued.
