MAMMOGRAMS EVERY WOMAN OVER AGE 40 NEEDS A MAMMOGRAM.... EVERY YEAR! Mammograms are available in your neighborhood with the Mammovan for Nevada!*4 Please Call Toll Free (877) 581-6266 For Information And Appointments Overview: Nevada Health Centers, Inc. (NVHC) was founded in 1977 as Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) and currently has 15 clinical sites throughout Nevada. Wendover Community Health Center, located in Elko County, opened its doors to serve the community with quality health care in 1999. In addition NVHC also operates the Mammovan for Nevada. The Mammovan is a mobile mammography van that travels to underserved areas of our state to provide clinical breast exams, mammograms and Pap smears to women who are uninsured and probably would not seek out these services on their own. The Mammovan, which began operating in 2000, was made possible through a grant secured by Senator (then Congressman) John Ensign. The First Lady of Nevada, Dema Guinn is a spokeswoman for our project and from time to time travels with the Mammovan to encourage women in the neighborhoods we visit to get their mammograms. Target Population-- Not having insurance is a barrier for many women to get a mammogram but it is clear it is not the only barrier. Our community out-reach efforts help break down some of the barriers that have more to do with lack of education, cultural belief systems and language difficulties than cost. Four employees who work with the Mammovan program speak fluent Spanish. Our health education efforts extend to agencies that help support the Mammovan by encouraging their clientele to make appointments for our services and by providing the Mammovan with a place to park. These agencies include but are not limited to Family Resource Centers, Hispanic Services, State and County Health Departments, Tribal Health Centers, Corporations, Senior Centers, Churches, and Community Centers. The advantage of the Mammovan is we can go to where the women are. We try to do most of our advertising in the neighborhoods where we will be providing services and take a sister-to-sister approach in encouraging women to make appointments for their mammograms, breast exams and Pap smears. Services Provided-- The Mammovan provides clinical breast exams, Pap smears, mammograms and breast health education to women in need. Staffing-- The Mammovan Project employs a Mammography Technologist, Physician Assistant, Medical Assistant, Receptionist, Scheduler, Community Out-Reach Coordinator, Driver and an Operations Manager. Our entire team is passionate about women's health care and we are proud of the fact that the Mammovan is the only place in Nevada where women can go to receive all their women's health screening services in one visit. Our lead radiology group is West Valley Imaging that has offices in both Las Vegas and Reno. Every patient who has a mammogram is informed of her results and tracked until breast cancer can be ruled out or diagnosed. Our Physician Assistant ensures that women who need follow-up services such as ultrasound, magnification views and/or biopsies receive them. Federal Designation-- Serves HPSA areas. Special Populations/Health Issues: In keeping with the mission of NVHC, the Mammovan seeks to serve the underserved population, targeting women age 40 and over. The Mammovan also provides services for women under 40, who are physician referred or who present with a problem. Our intention is similar to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation (who is one of our supporters) "to capture and increase the number of asymptomatic individuals undergoing screening mammography for the early detection of breast cancer."*5 Funding: State of Nevada Dema Guinn - First Lady of Nevada Susan Komen Shahen Foundation United Way Women's Health Connection Nevada Bell ---------------------------- References *1. *1.

BUSINESS, COMMUNITY, AND SOCIAL WORLD ***** Thursday, May 6, 2004 #First Edition Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) http://communitylink.reviewjournal.com/lvrj/wbti 88%88%88%88%88%88%88%88%88%88%88%88%88%88%88% ------------------------------ GAMING OUTSIDE LAS VEGAS: Gambling on Macau --- Coming Sands opening to end longtime island monopoly By Rod Smith Thursday, May 06, 2004 Copyright @ Las Vegas Review-Journal*1 GAMING OUTSIDE LAS VEGAS: Gambling on Macau Coming Sands opening to end longtime island monopoly*2 By ROD SMITH GAMING WIRE Sheldon Adelson(For his photo, please check LVRJ) Steve Wynn(For his photo, please check LVRJ) Gaming magnate Sheldon Adelson's 1-million-square-foot Sands Macau casino and entertainment complex, which is leading a wave of new casino developments off the coast of China, is expected to open May 18. The $240 million Sands Macau will be owned by Adelson's holding company, Las Vegas Sands, and will have 319 table games, 600 slot machines, 18 restaurants, bars and entertainment venues located near the ferry terminal in Macau. Las Vegas Sands President Bill Weidner said the Sands Macau will give a face lift to Macau, which he compared to downtown Las Vegas or Reno. He said the growth of China, whose economy has been growing at more than 14 percent a year over the past decade, is driving the development of Macau as a visitor destination. "China is the fastest-growing major economy in the world, and the fourth-largest export economy in the world," he said. It boasts the fastest-growing and second-largest middle class, which is rapidly becoming the largest middle class of any country in the world, Weidner said. He said with about 1.4 billion people within a couple hundred miles of Macau, the island is also destined to become one of the biggest and fastest-growing visitor destinations anywhere. Las Vegas Sands plans to use the market to compete with other Asian destinations and to lure more visitors to its properties in Las Vegas, Weidner said. The opening of the Sands Macau casino will break up a monopoly on casino operations in Macau that Stanley Ho, 82, and his gambling cronies have enjoyed for almost 50 years. Two years ago, authorities approved breaking the monopoly on casino operations by awarding gambling concessions to three groups -- Adelson, Las Vegas-based Wynn Resorts and Ho's group of companies. The Sands Macau is next to the $60 million Galaxy Waldo Hotel-Casino, a smaller property with 38 tables and 100 slot machines being developed by Galaxy, a company started by Hong Kong property tycoon Lui Che-woo, who shares a casino license with Adelson. It is run by Francis Lui and is set to open in June. A $122 million waterfront entertainment and retail complex called Fisherman's Wharf is being built on the other side of Adelson's casino by Ho and David Chow, his partner, and is set to open before year's end. Las Vegas developer Steve Wynn is also planning to build a $500 million hotel-casino, which is expected to open in 2006, although he is hoping for reforms to the enclave's gambling laws before he commits further. In addition to opening the Sands Macau next to the ferry terminal, Las Vegas Sands is obligated to open the Macau Venetian Casino Resort, a second and permanent casino, by June 2006, and invest $550 million in its Macau developments by June 2009. Adelson's long-term plans to develop the $10 billion, so-called Cotai Strip, a strip of reclaimed land between the Macau islands of Taipa and Coloane, includes a 1,500-room resort and casino. He is inviting others to join in building the 20 casinos and 60,000 hotel rooms that will constitute the new Las Vegas Strip East. The Galaxy operation, a group of Hong Kong investors that has teamed up with Adelson, also plans to build a 3,000-room resort casino on separate land in 2006. In all, these projects will require 22,000 additional workers and increase the number of jobs in Macau by about 10 percent. All the development is transforming Macau. The latest boom helped push Macau's economy ahead by a 15.6 percent last year, with growth hitting a 21.1 percent in the fourth quarter. Wynn, who declined to discuss his development, remains the wild card amid this sudden bustle of development. He threatened in August to pull out of a planned venture if Macau failed to enact gambling reforms by the end of last year. It didn't happen, but Wynn didn't make good on his threat to bail out. He is hoping for legislative changes in Macau that would let gaming companies extend credit to gamblers, as well as tax reforms. Macau lawmakers are working on allowing casinos to lend money to gamblers, but one of them, Ng Kuok-cheong, said the bill stops short on tax concessions.*3 ***The Associated Press contributed to this report. -------------------------------- References *1.

To contribute to the Asian countries with the spirit of innovation and entrpreneurship, we need to emphasize our programs with our global e-business technology managemnt. We are surrounded by lots of e-business entreprises in this 21th Century era of businees world. An e-busineess entreprise is a business that uses the Internet, intranets, extranets, and other computer networks to support electronic business process, decision making, and team and workgroup collaboration within the enterprise and among its customers, suppliers, and other business partners. One of our purposes is to strenghten our business prgrams with the emphasis of e-business technology management. We will encourage the management of information technology in our international e-business entreprises by three functions. We expect our e-business entriprises will make their managing information technologies effective by : (1)the joint development and implementation of e-business and Information Technology ( IT ) strategies by business and IT executives, (2)managing the research and implementation of new information technologies and the development of e-business applications, and (3)managing IT processes, professionals, and subunits within company's IT organization and Information System (IS) function.*2 Computer and technology are as natural as the air for the people in today's workplace which is teeming wih individuals who have terrific idea and a great deal to contribute. "In 'WinningWays,' Dick Lyles gives us four very powerful strategies that all of us can use to improve our relatioships with others and increase our own level of success. These are the best guidelines I've seen to help you unleash your power and reach your maximum potential," wrote Dr. Ken Blanchard.*3 The four powerful strtegies for the secret of winning ways are: (1). Make people feel stronger rather than weaker as a result of your interactions wih them. (2). Camels are Okay. In fact, today's camel builders will be tommorrow's leaders. (3). Avoid two-valued thinking traps, because very few decisions are choices between right and wrong or good and bad. (4). Influence for the future, rather than the present or the past. "I share with the philosophy of 'management is nothing more than motivating other people,' by Lee Iacocca. I agree with our U. S. Congresswoman Shelley Berkley that once she said, 'The knowledge delivered by the publications of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) through its multimedia inspire us with a positive thinking to love our people, community, professionalism, and country.' I'm also impressed by the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of WBTI which quoted again lots of valuable words of positive thinking and wisdom," said Judge Nancy Saitta, District Judge of Nevada. She likes to read the WBTI website (http://communitylink.reviewjournal.com/lvrj/wbti) with good knowledge and creative design. Even as the number 53,477th visitor of the website, she is proud to be on the list. We express regret for that the numbers of this website are limited because of its contends by nature of the academic and professioal features. Intelletuals may ask that "How many people could and should be the readers of the book written by our famous scientist Albert Einstein?" You never know! By adding the number of visitors who access it from the search engines leading giants such as Google.com, Yahoo.com, Infoseek.com, among others, the number of visitors to WBTI website are numerous. We are quite encouraged through the commends of their visiting either by President Dr. Andrew Benton of Pepperdine University, U. S. Senators Harry Reid and John Ensign, Chancellor Dr. Charles Runnels of Pepperdine University, U. S. Congresswoman Shelley Berkley, Judge Betsy Kolkoski, among others, or by their Secretary.

With the above words of wisdom, we are glad to have our leaders's inspiration and encouragement for the cooperation and development on tourism and business among international countries with Nevada: Governor Kenny Guinn of Nevada reminds us that tourism is the bedrock of Nevada's economy. To expand and diversify our domestic and international markets are absolutely essential to our long-term economic growth and stability.*4 Governor Kenny Guinn and Lt. Govenor Lorraine Hunt said that Nevada's tourism industry must continue to expand its offerings and reach out to diverse markets that range from outdoor enthusiasts to residents of the world's most populous nation. Speaking at the general session of the Governor's Conference on Tourism at Caesars Palace, he and she each praised Nevada's continuing efforts to supplement its gaming-based core with non-gaming amenities such as shopping, dinning, and outdoor recreation.*5 Governor Guinn expresses that he can not overemphasize the significance and importance of bringing attention to all the attractions to Nevada at a time when it faces unprecedented competition for gaming customers. He believes that we are wise to expand our marketing efforts and focus on developing markets in places such as Asia. It is significant for him to point out that in addition to gaming, Nevada has phenomenal cultural, historic, and recreational resources that we must continue to promote. The Governor emphasizes that for our state's economy to thrive, all of the Silver State's tourism opportunities must be effectively marketed to both domestic and international visitors.*6 -------------------- References *1.
