When I first became Governor, one of my stated goals was to significantly cut wait times for people visiting a Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) office, and to make online vehicle registration and other DMV-related tasks more convenient to complete.

I�m happy to say that today, Nevada�s DMV is doing an outstanding job of meeting that challenge while serving the needs of the fastest-growing state in the nation. Through the use of innovative technology and public-private partnerships, service time has been drastically improved. In the Las Vegas area alone, even though DMV has experienced an increase of nearly 20 percent more customers a month since 2000, the department has reduced wait time by more than 40 percent.

A new North Las Vegas office, located at 7170 N. Decatur Blvd., opened on March 13. It is larger than the building it replaced, with 206 more parking spaces and ten more service windows. The new office is the first in the state to offer two outside self-service kiosks, which are available to customers 24 hours a day. The kiosks are similar to bank automated teller machines. DMV customers can use the machines to complete simple renewal transactions, use cash or credit cards to make payments, and receive documents on the spot.

Thanks to a public-private partnership with the American Automobile Association (AAA), the popular kiosks are also available at two Southern Nevada AAA offices: one located at 3312 W. Charleston Boulevard in Las Vegas, and another located at 1000 N. Green Valley Parkway in Henderson. Those kiosks are available during normal AAA business hours. There are now 22 kiosks available to motorists statewide. Since the beginning of the program in 2004, the kiosks have been used to successfully complete more than 284,870 transactions.

Innovative technology like the kiosks has proven effective in reducing wait times and improving customer service, while also saving substantial tax dollars. Recent enhancements to DMV�s online services, including renewal of certain business licenses, license plates, and the use of electronic checks to pay fees, are also making a difference. Another web enhancement that has proven popular is the ability to design, view, and check for the availability of charitable or specialty plates. Since first unveiled a year ago, there have been more than 1.1 million inquiries for specialty plates via the web.

I applaud and appreciate the efforts of the management and staff at the Nevada DMV for their efforts and commitment to making substantial improvements in service for our citizens. The Nevada DMV�s commitment to customer service and technological solutions has enabled the department to better keep pace with our state�s growth. Motorists can view the full range of DMV-related online services at www.dmvnv.com.

We are impressed by what Dr. Peter Drucker said that, "Only a clear definition of the mission and purpose of the business makes possible clear and realistic business objectives. It is the foundation for priorities, strategies, plans, and work assignments. It is the starting point for the design of managerial jobs, above all, for the design of managerial structures." A business is a reflection of the leader. As a manager, the important thing is not happens when you are not there. It is important of what happens when you are not there.

We are pleased to quote the following three short but meaningful ones:

***** The ultimate responsibility of a leader is to facilitate other people's development as well as his own. ---Fred Pryor
***** American business needs a lifting purpose greater than the struggle of materialism. ---Herbert Hoover

It's our pleasure to post a short story from "Speaker's Source Book II" by Glenn Van Ekeren:

The ServiceMaster Corporration serves as a beautiful example of a company that thoroughly integrates its corporate philosophy and mission into day-to-day affairs. Founded by Marion E. Wade, the story of its conception, genesis and growth is told in Wade's book, God is Counsel. Kenneth T. Wessner, Chairman of the Board of ServiceMaster, states:

"The philosopgy of a company determines the character and nature of business it conducts. The climate of a company is created by the concepts of managing and life that govern its policies and practices. The philosophy of ServiceMaster and the words we used to express that philosophy have been carefully conceived, nurtured, and refined through years of thought, work, and commitment. Our company philosophy is expressed in four objectives. These four staterment are the foundation upon which everything we do is built.

To honor God in all we do.
To help people develop.
To pursue excellence.
To grow profitably.

For the people of ServiceMaster, their work is not merely the making of a living; it is a way of life."

That solid philosophy has helped ServiceMaster become one of the largest cleaning service conglomerates in the world.

Abstract of talk

Sun-Yuan Kung (�v�O��) received his Ph.D. Degree in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University. In 1974, he was an Associate Engineer of Amdahl Corporation, Sunnyvale, CA. From 1977 to 1987, he was a Professor of Electrical Engineering-Systems of the University of Southern California. Since 1987, he has been a Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Princeton University. Since 1990, he has served as an Editor-In-Chief of Journal of VLSI Signal Processing Systems. Dr. Kung is a Fellow of IEEE. He was the recipient of 1992 IEEE Signal Processing Society's Technical Achievement Award for his contributions on "parallel processing and neural network algorithms for signal processing". He was appointed as an IEEE-SP Distinguished Lecturer in 1994. He received 1996 IEEE Signal Processing Society's Best Paper Award. He was a recipient of the IEEE Third Millennium Medal in 2000. He has authored more than 300 technical publications, including three books "VLSI Array Processors", (Prentice Hall, 1988) (with Russian and Chinese translations), "Digital Neural Networks", Prentice Hall, 1993, and "Principal Component Neural Networks'', John Wiley, 1996.*2

Dr. Sun-yuan Kung (�v�O��) was a Kenote Speaker at The First IEEE Pacific-Rim Conference on Multimedia (2000 International Symposium on Multimedia Information Processing) on December 13-15, 2000, at the University of Sydney, Australia.

Dr. Kung presented a paper at the IEEE-PCM2000 plenary. The title was "Adaptive Techniques for Intelligent Internet Multimedia Communication".*3 The following was his Abstract:

The new trend of information processing world has rapidly converged to three major technological fields: internet, multimedia, and wireless. In this talk, we will attempt to offer a technological and applicational justification of intelligent technologies for internet multimedia computing/communication. We shall also illuminate how intelligent integration of signal processing and neural net techniques could be a versatile tool to a broad spectrum of multimedia applications. Some examples of adaptive techniques (or neural networks) with applications to internet multimedia commuincation will be
demonstrated.*4

Multimedia technologies will profoundly change the way we access information, and they provide a new opportunity for research interactions among a variety of media such as speech, audio, image, video, text, and graphics. The inevitable merger of the computer industries and information-based consumer and communication industries inevitably introduces new challenges. We investigate various research issues relevant to intelligent multimedia communication applications and implementation technology. We study various adaptive and content-based technologies for MPEG-4 applications, such as compression, indexing, and retrieval of visual information. We look into various areas in video coding and segmentation, including true-motion tracker, global-motion compensated VOP (video-object-plane) coding, video representation, multicue, and multicamera fusion, three-dimensional structure-from-motion analysis, and spatial-temporal interpolation. We study an algorithmic framework that fuses spatial, visual, and motion information from a variety of preprocessing sources: object tracker, motion edge analysis, and so on.*5

Neural networks have become one of the core techniques facilitating intelligent multimedia communication technologies. They are very effective when applied to detection or recognition of high-level features (for example, faces) and multimodality recognition and authentication. These have many critical applications to information representation/retrieval and Internet security, and many focal applications in MPEG-7. For these, we have developed a versatile decision-based neural network that bears a modular structure, while taking advantage of both unsupervised and supervised learning strategies. We look into novel neural network techniques on multisensor classification, hierarchical processing, probabilistic (fuzzy) neural networks, object detection and tracking, and content-based compression and representation.

Another major challenge lies in real-time processing speed, a key barrier before online access of massive visual information can become a reality. In fact, it is communication, instead of computing, that will be the processing bottleneck. Thus, the development of the computer technology must be closely intertwined with the information-based consumer and communication technologies. We have studied for a long time the research issues involving design and implementation of VLSI multimedia signal processing circuits and systems. Novel communication and networking technologies will be critical in order for multimedia database systems to support interactive dynamic interfaces. Truly integrated media systems must connect with individual users and content-addressable multimedia databases. This will involve both logical connections to support information-sharing and physical connection via computer networking and data transfer. Our research stresses hierarchical and scalable multimedia architecture platforms, fast architectures by minimizing memory accesses and IO operations, and systematically mapping multimedia algorithms to the new architectures. Ultimately, our research will support development of real-time information-processing systems combining digital video and audio, text, and graphics.*6

It is our pleasure to pay a tribute to the expertise, professionalism, and accomplishment of an excellent scholar and professor.*7

"Too often executives in the gaming industry see the cost side of doing business as zero-sum game. Each dollar they spend is viewed as one dollar taken away from the bottom-line profit. One dollar given, one dollar lost. Quid pro quo (Something given or received for something else.). So the cost of customer service programs may be seen by money lost. They may think, "Save the money, retain the earnings." But there is a short-sightedness in this way of thinking. Some things in the casino business may be zero-sum games, but investments in customer service are activities in a positive-sum game, or what can be called a win-win game.

The customer wins better enjoyment of products offered, and the casino wins with renewed and repeated patroage. We wish to emphazsize this aspect of customer service throughtout our book. That is why we chose to entitle our book Casino Customer Service = The WIN WIN Game," stated in the Foreword of a popular book.*1 The book, "Casino Customer Service --- The Win Win Game," was written by William Thompson and Michele Comeau. What the book is really about is customers -- winning their allegiance and keeping it. The successful casino executive must deliver exemplary customer service and bottomline performance are to be reliazed in today's gaming markets. Customer service is the sine qua non ( An absolutely indispensable or essential thing.) of today's successful casino operations.

There are many good reasons why gaming establishments should shower extra attention on existing and repeat customers. Gimmicks and high-cost marketing win the first-time customer. Good service keeps the established customers. It cost more than five times as much as to win a new customer as it does to keep an old one. Good service is by far the better bargain for the casino.*2

"Lots of managerial personals I had in relations in Southestern Asia countries could bring many valuable customers from those countries both in travelling and gaming to Las Vegas. Through a certificate of Executive Host Program we may train them and bring prosperious business to this Silver State. To start with the program, I may recruiting a lot of participants," suggested Jimmy Hsu at the Summer 2003 Symposium of the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration(GSBPA) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI). The mini symposium was held by WBTI at the Zax Restaurant of Golden Nugget Casino and Hotel on May 19, 2003 in Las Vegas.

Las Vegas is an entertainment capital as the best place to learn about casino and hotel management through its hospitality industry. With about 100,000 hotel rooms, hundreds of restaurants, resorts, conventions, and trade shows, Las Vegas is a living laboratory for the study of hotel administration. This program of our School is cooperated with UNLV to offer the Certificate Of Exective Host (COEH) for qualified professionals through training and education of hospitality. Dr. Keong Leong, Chairman of Department of Business, UNLV; and Dr. E. Lee Bernick, Chairman of Public Administration, UNLV are Deans of the School.

Participant may receive a Certificate of Executive Host (COEH) in meeting general requiement and successful completion of all the following courses plus a study paper:
1. Introduction to Hospitality Management
2. Human Resources & Personal Relations
3. Customer and Food Services
4. Financial and Quantitative Ananlysis
5. Principles and Practice in Casino and Gaming Management
6. Seminar on Hospitality
7. Field Trips to Casino
8. Professional Paper

The above proposal for the Certificate of Executive Host (COEH) was designed by the GSBPA of WBTI on July 2003. To promote customer service for the gaming industry, we need the Certificate Executive Host as a good program.

Today, more than 90,000 Americans of all ages and ethnicities await life-saving organ transplants, and that number increases by one person every 16 minutes. Unfortunately, a potential recipient dies every 17 minutes because an organ they need never arrives.

In the Silver State, 203 of our fellow Nevadans are waiting for a kidney transplant, and another 639 are awaiting a transplant of their heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, pancreas, or intestine. Only kidney transplants are available in Nevada. Other organ transplants must be performed out of state.

These daunting numbers indicate all too clearly the urgent need for caring citizens to register to become an organ donor. And, since only about one percent of registrants are eligible to donate at the time of their death, it is important that we get the message out to as many people as possible that becoming a registered organ donor saves lives.

It�s easy to register. You can complete the registration process at any Nevada DMV office, or go to http://www.dmvnv.com/index.htm, look for the �Donate Life� logo on the left side of the screen, and then follow the simple directions.

While the medical community continues to seek cures, people with heart, kidney, and liver disease can often be restored to health through an appropriate transplant. It�s a viable treatment that is here today.

We all have the primary resource for providing such treatments: our own organs. Some organs can be donated while we are alive, leaving both donor and recipient capable of leading full lives thereafter. And when a registered organ donor loses his or her life, that person�s donated organs can save up to eight separate lives.

There are many misconceptions about organ donation, including superstitions and mistaken information. I would encourage you to visit the Second Chance Foundation�s website at www.secondchancefdn.org, or the Nevada Donor Network�s at www.nvdonor.org. to get the true facts about organ donation.

Remember, you never know when you or someone you love may need to receive the �Gift of Life,� so please thoughtfully consider taking the time to register as an organ donor.

"Elaine Chao and John Ensign 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.*3

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!*4

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.

"On March 23, 2006, through the recommendations of our faculty members, including District Court Judge Cheryl Moss and Nevada Assemblywoman Valerie Weber, Mr. Pengju Li was appointed as an Adjunct Instructor of the Culture Institution(CI) and Chairman of the Nevada Asian Art Research Committee of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI)." The announcement was made by Dr. John Wang, Spokesman for WBTI, on March 28, 2006, in Las Vegas, Nevada.*2

Upon learning of his distinguished appointment, Mr. Li expressed, "It is truly an honor to be appointed as an Instructor of the Culture Institution of Washington Business and Technology Institute. As Chairman of the Nevada Asian Art Research Committee of WBTI, I intend to utilize my best efforts and wisdom to promote professionalism, enhance community relations, and to continue WBTI's mission in engaging in projects and doing great things for the Asian community."

Dr. Sue Fawn Chung currently heads the leadership of the Culture Institution of Washington Business and Technology Institute. Dr. Chung is now an Associate Professor of the Department of History, University of Nevada Las Vegas UNLV. She was formerly the Department of History's Chairperson. Dr. Chung has been an Fellow and Director of the Culture Institution of WBTI since September 17, 2001.

Pengju Li is a talented and gifted artist. He has the soul of a true Asian. Mr. Li graduated from the Peking Fine Arts University, and later he became an Instructor within the same school.

According to the website www.AsianSoulArt.com, Mr. Li's life and works is described as follows, "During his school years, Pengju had an opportunity to study art from all over the world. He studied all the Western artistic masters, and he was greatly influenced by famous artists such as Rembrandt and Jean-Aguste Ingres. At the same time, he
also studied 19th century Impressionism and 20th century Modern Art. Pengju was fascinated by the Impressionists' use of color and brushstroke, as well as the modern artists' use of point, line, and surface. His study of the past masters shaped and nourished his creativity."

"Over the last decade, he has refined his artistic style. His paintings exhibit a time of splendor and elegance with a contemporary twist. His unique style consists of dramatic figures full of bright colors, strong brushstrokes, and two-dimensional spaces. It is a beautiful combination of Western techniques with ancient oriental subjects."*3

In May 1994, Pengju Li's painting "Home" won the first prize in 1994 China Oil Paintings Exhibition.

"Mr. Li, Peng Ju is a young oil painting artist with great influence in China. His paintings has been exhibited extentensively in the world, such as in Hong Kong, Singapore, Macao and Canada and has won many awards and prizes. Many of his paintings has been collected by artist organization and collectors in the world. In 1996 and 1997, Mr Li's paintings were selected to attend China Art Exposition, the biggest and the most influential art exhibition in China. And in 1996 China Art Exposition, his oil painting won "New Talent and New Piece Prize". And in 1997 China Art Exposition, his oil paintings were selected into a VCD and the VCD was released and distributed extensively via radio, television and newspaper," stated China Art Exposition Organization Committee in a letter of recommendation.

Pengju always says: "I like to use everyone's drawing strong points, and I never stop improving myself".

Pengju's biographical information in www.AsianSoulArt.com also states that his primary focus is oil painting. His paintings reflect an influence from both the East and the West due to the fact that he studied styles from Western Europe and the Asian Pacific Rim. His early works include a group of paintings that were based on subjects found in ancient Beijing China. These paintings were comprised of Quadrangle Gardens built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, old temples, old doors, old alleys, as well as, Beijing's people. Under his brushstrokes, those paintings came to life. They were exhibited in Hong Kong and China. After this exhibition, Pengju became well known and well a respected artist in China.

In may 1, 1996, Pengju Li was appointed as a Consultant of Art Center, China Artists Association. He was invited to be a judge of China International Famous Artists' Pieces Exhibition at the same time.

Pengju believes that to truly create a masterful painting, one must paint what one knows and feels. To truly create fine works of art, the approach must be a pure representation of the artist's ideas and emotions.*4

"It is my pleasure and honor to be named as an Associate Professor of the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration of WBTI," said Michael Douglas, Justice of Nevada Supreme Court. "WBTI has an excellent reputation. Its Advisory Board and faculty is comprised of respected members and officials from throughout the Nevada community, including Honorable Kenny Guinn, Governor of Nevada, as its Chairman, Honorable Harry Reid, United States Senator, Honorable John Ensign, United States Senator, both serving as the Vice Chairmen, Honorable Jim Gibbons, United States Representative, Honorable Shelley Berkley, United States Representative, and Honorable Oscar Goodman, Mayor of Las Vegas, all of whom are the Executive Directors."

Nevada Supreme Court Justice Michael Douglas stated, "With the scholarly and highly-informative publications of Google.cn, Google.com, 'Communitylink of the Las Vegas Review-Journal', 'Next Weekly' and with the support of high-ranking officials in Southern Nevada, including the spiritual leadership of Chairperson Elaine Chao of WBTI, WBTI has successfully sent out a message across the Asian community that community service and benevolent projects demonstrate that all Asians are committed to improving life for all who live within this tight-knit community." Justice Douglas' comments were announced at a Dinner Party at the Emperor's Garden Restaurant on February 4, 2005, in Las Vegas. The dinner event was held by the Committee to implement the ART EXHIBIT of Mr. QIN QUAN XIONG.*5

Dr. Tony Lei, President of the Washington Business and Technology Institute, remarked,
"In light of the hard work, dedication and successful achievements in the art world by Mr. Pengju Li, we are quite pleased to welcome him as a new faculty member of Culture Institution. His professionalism, integrity, and enthusiasm in art is truly an asset to WBTI."

Seniors United proudly presents
our newly elected
executive vice president
Dr. Tony Lei

Seniors United is greatly honored to have Dr. Tony Lei as our recently elected Executive Vice President.

Dr. Tony is not a medical doctor. He is a very noted professor and President of Washington Business and Technology Institute. He has a background of achievement as long or longer than your arm.

I am not going into any lengthy details about Dr. Tony's ability to reign as our Executive Vice President. The "Nevada Examiner" has done a fantastic job of telling us all about him and therefore I do not want to be repetitious. You can read all about the good doctor in the pages ahead.

Dr. Lei points out : Knowledge, calls ultimately, for a life of service. We should continue to work for the prosperity of our society more diligently.

Dr. Tony and his charming and lovely wife, Judy, have been friends of Seniors United for quite a few years. We love them both dearly because they are so very sincere and extremely devoted to the priniciples of Seniors United's creed.

We are looking forward to a long and rewarding relationship.

We had a most delightful forum on February 9, 2000, as always. We welcome......

We side-tracked our guest speakers for a few moments to introduce our newly elected Executive Vice President, Dr. Tony Lei, who really does not need any introduction at all. Tony and his delightful wife, Judy, have been members of S.U. for a few years. Both of them are on our executive board as advisory members.

But today was a bit different. Tony was being installed as our Executive Vice President by Judge Mark Denton, a very dear friend to all of us. Judge Mark always tries to make our forums even though it may only be to say "Hello" and off he has to go.

Dr. Tony Lei will be of the greatest force in getting the most important people to our doors. He knows about everyone of importance in Nevada and I am sure he will share all of them with us, particularly his Thai affiliations. Dr. Tony has had quite a few of his friends become our members and we thank them all.

We are very grateful to the "Nevada Examiner," an American Asian newspaper that prints all the news about Seniors United. This is a great benefit to us because we become very well-known in the American Asian and Thai communities. We have Dr. Tony to thank for this coverage that reaches over 20,000 people.

Dr. Lei sends his best regards to everyone and is looking forward to seeing all of you again as we all are.

EDITORIAL: Everything 'businesses need to thrive'
Nevada tries to capitalize on California's regulatory excess

ABC television affiliate KABC in Los Angeles made headlines last week by refusing to air a current series of Nevada Development Authority ads touting the advantages of Nevada's business climate over that of overtaxed, overregulated California. But more than 22 newspapers and numerous other California TV stations have been running the ads, which feature far-from-subtle performances by Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman as a detective investigating crimes in which (for example), "It looks like the big California tax nut killed another business."

(The theme of the ad campaign is "Quit working for peanuts. Reduce your business nut -- come to Las Vegas.")

"Too bad he didn't call the Nevada Development Authority in Las Vegas," the mayor says over the body of a California businessman purportedly crushed to death by a (literal) huge nut. "This would've never happened."

Backed by $5.5 million in state marketing money over the next two fiscal years, the development authority is urging California employers to relocate to relatively more business-friendly Nevada with $1 million worth of the ads over the next seven months.

In another of the ads, Nevada defeats California in a game of five-card draw, as the Silver State draws three aces and the rare "no state personal income/corporate tax" card, while California's hand contains the nasty "anti-business legislation" card.

But the funniest line to come out of the dust-up so far belongs not to the scriptwriters for Shonkwiler Partners, the advertising agency that created the campaign, but rather to Rufus Jeffris, a spokesman for the California Commission for Jobs and Economic Growth, who responded, "Any business in California would be nuts to leave. All things businesses need to thrive are here."

OK, there's a banking system and an electric grid -- so far. But perhaps Mr. Jeffris would care to explain why -- once immigration from foreign countries is accounted for -- the former "Golden State" has been suffering a net out-migration of fed-up Californians for some time now.

After all, in what other state could attorney Richard J. Simmons successfully sell a regularly updated 450-page book titled "California's Anti-Business Employment Laws"?

The publisher, Castle Publications, explains, "California has the toughest and most costly employment laws in the nation ... (Mr. Simmons' book) examines the far-reaching network of new rules that touch upon such diverse subjects as wage-hour reform, employment discrimination, time off, leaves of absence, mass layoffs, plant closings, background checks, lactation accommodation, and paid family leave. It also reviews the devastating impact of these new laws on California businesses and employment." Included in the book are analyses of such local specialties as California's "pay-or-play" mandatory health care plan, and that all-time favorite, the "Sue-Your-Boss Law."

Visit the Web site of the business law firm ReedSmith to learn how California "citizens groups" have recently begun using state unfair competition and false advertising laws to sue prescription pharmaceutical manufacturers in California over "off-label" use of their drugs. "These lawsuits highlight some of the mischief resulting from two of California's more unique anti-business statutes, California's 'unfair competition' law, Business and Professions Code section 17200 et. seq., and the recently amended 'anti-SLAPP' statute, Code of Civil Procedure sections 425.16 and 425.17," write the ReedSmith attorneys.

Visit the California Chamber of Commerce Web site and click on the seemingly endless list of "anti-business legislation" that annually pours forth from Sacramento. There are so many that we've lost track of which have been enacted and which are still pending, but you'll find there (serious) proposals for a 2-cent tax on the retail sale of disposable cups and bags, a measure to hike construction costs by banning certain common wood preservatives; a measure to hold employers responsible if their employees feel they've been harassed ... by a customer; a measure to eliminate tax deductibility of executive salaries if they're "too high"; and -- our favorite -- an endless parade of provisions barring state agencies from buying any product or service from any vendor that doesn't offer health benefits, that pays employees less than $12 an hour, that requires mandatory overtime, that practices "at-will employment," that verbally harasses its employees ...

Yep, "all the things businesses need to thrive."

During the past eleven years, Summerlin has been the fastest growing Master Planned Community in the country. Located along the western rim of the Las Vegas valley, this community offers a unique lifestyle to its residents. Surrounded by the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, Summerlin consists of several villages of residential properties, schools cultural centers, shopping, parks, trails, professional and medical facilities and golf courses. More than one-third of Summerlin's acreage is designated as open space, which includes parks, trails, golf courses and nature trails. Ours in Summerlin is something good for many people!

"The enormous Summerlin community is the most celebrated development in the northwest region of Las Vegas. In 1999, Summerlin let the country in new home sales among mater-planned communities with 2,281 homes sold, a 17 percent increase over the previous year. Within this community, there are 170 models to choose from, priced between $100,000 and $1 million. Other communities in the region include Queensridge, a 1,100-acre, master-planned community with a residential complement of 850 acres; the Lakes, which offers residents lakeside homes with boating and fishing; and Los Prados, an active adult community. The near northwest is home to one of Las Vegas' oldest neighborhoods; know locally as the Scotch 80s," described in the post.

"Bordered by Rancho Road, I-15, Oakey Boulevard, and Charleston Ave, this community of large, ranch-style residences was once home to BB King, Shecky Greene, and Diana Ross. The Valley��s largest assemblage of golf courses in the northwest, including the Badlands, Painted Desert, Los Prados, and Angel Park. Shopping at Meadows Mall and the Sahara Pavilion oasis nearby, and several neighborhood casinos, such as Santa Fe Station, Fiesta, and the Texas Station, offer fine dining and gaming, making it more convenient for residents who would prefer not to drive to the Strip. Apartments are plentiful, especially in the area of Sahara Road near Arville Street."

In a life full of diverse experiences, I have to tell you that my recent trip to the Middle East to visit our troops in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Kuwait is one of the greatest adventures in my life. I will never forget the opportunity to see firsthand our efforts to bring democracy to a people starving for freedom in that part of the world. It was truly an honor to meet our brave men and women serving in the military.

The purpose of my trip, organized by the State Department and the Department of Defense, was to speak to our regular Army and National Guard troops about their experiences and to see for myself how things are going in the Middle East. Before leaving on the five-day trip, the three other governors I traveled with and I received a detailed briefing at the Pentagon and we met with Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. At each meeting, we were encouraged to ask any question and to seek whatever information we felt important while on the trip.

As Commander-in-Chief of Nevada�s National Guard, what a privilege to share with our troops from the Silver State the support and pride we have for their efforts to make the world a safer place. During my multi-nation tour, I met with soldiers from Boulder City, Carson City, Elko, Fernley, Lake Tahoe, and Las Vegas, as well as a group from Nellis Air Force Base Airmen who work with the Predator unmanned aerial vehicles. These exceptional people are doing a tremendous job serving the United States in the War on Terrorism. They are a great representation of the best America has to offer.

One morning, our Humvee driver did a remarkable job of getting us to our destination through the streets of Baghdad. When we arrived, I told the young man what a great driver he was and that I appreciated his expertise. He turned to me and said, �I have to take care of my Governor, sir�I�m from Lake Tahoe.� In another instance, a Major addressed me by name and thanked me for coming. When I asked her how she knew my name, she said she had attended Kenny C. Guinn Junior High School in Las Vegas. There were many cherished moments like these with other soldiers that I will always treasure.

During the trip, I asked our soldiers how they feel the war was going; if they are getting the support and equipment they need; and do they believe what they are doing is necessary? These soldiers responded so positively to the goal of their mission and to the importance of their task that I was moved. They repeatedly let me know that, although they would prefer to be home, safe in the arms of their family, they know the job they are performing is vital, and that America needs to complete its mission in Afghanistan and Iraq before our military can leave. Soldiers also told me how the people of these countries deeply appreciate what we are doing and that they want us to be there. Their words left no doubt in my mind about the magnitude of our task.

I was also struck and comforted to know how well our troops are being taken care of while they serve our nation. The food was excellent, I saw workout equipment everywhere I visited and, most importantly, they are being provided the latest and best equipment available. Everything was very hi-tech, and the logistical coordination was very impressive. I also saw for myself how the Humvee vehicles, which have been so prone to attack from Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), are now being replaced or outfitted with armor that greatly enhances the safety of our soldiers.

When we met in Afghanistan with President Hamid Karzai and several provincial governors, they made it clear to us that our troops are making a tremendous difference in their nation. Although some people question how long it is taking for Afghanistan and Iraq to become true democracies, these gentlemen compared how long after the conclusion of the American Revolution it took our nation to create our own Constitution and to cement our way of governance. They reminded us that although each nation still has far to go, they are now meeting in a legislative forum to discuss their future, instead of shooting at each other.

I think one location I visited speaks volumes about our mission in the Middle East. In Afghanistan, we visited an elementary school for girls. The children were so happy to see us and gave us a very warm reception. I was informed later that these schools are extremely dangerous places. When I asked why, I was told that the Taliban and other terrorists are intent on destroying these schools because, in their minds, girls have no business being educated.

In closing, I have to tell you that one of the great joys I have had as Governor was upon my return to Nevada, the honor of calling the families of the soldiers I met while on my trip. I promised each soldier that I would tell their parents or spouse about my conversations with each of these brave men and women. The satisfaction of fulfilling that commitment will remain with me forever.

Nevadans are already proud of our troops. I want you to know that our soldiers are doing a fantastic job, that they believe in their mission, and that they fully appreciate the gravity of what is at stake. As Governor, I have never been more proud.

Kenny spent his boyhood in the small, Central Valley town of Exeter, California where he met Dema, his wife of 49 years. Kenny Guinn believes in families.

Dr. Kenny C. Guinn is Chairman of the Advisory Board of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI). He is now the Governor of Nevada, U. S. A. at his second term.

***** There is no more noble occupation in the world than to assist another human being--to help someone succeed. ---Alan Loy McGinnis

At the dawn of this new era, the emphasis has shifted from the physical and mechanical labor required by the Industrial Revolution to the mental labor needed to sustain the new Information Revoluation. In an organization, the people and minds have become the most precious assets for its development, innovation, and prosperity.

Since the beginning in the fall of 1937, Pepperdine University has experienced remarkable progress and achievement the realm of higher education. The faculty of the University seek to instill not only a will to achieve excellence, but also a spirit of philanthrophy and servanhood. Designed nicely, the Malibu campus of Pepperdine has frequently been described as the most beautiful one in the world. Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) was created as an inspirational medium for academic research and community service under the affirmation and creed of Pepperdine University.*1

"Our greatest credit at Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) is our people -- not facades or fountains, not landsacapes or lakescapes, but people -- faculty, advisory members, administration, and a host of friends," says President Dr. Tony Lei. "On the publications of WBTI through multimedia, locally, nationally, and internationally, we have featured many of our own: U. S. Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao; Governor of Nevada Kenny Guinn; U. S. Senators Harry Reid and John Ensign; U. S. Representatives James Gibbons and Shelley Berkley; Dr. Andrew Benton; Dr. Charles Runnels; Lt. Governor Lorraine Hunt; Chief Federal Judge Lloyd Geroge; Attorney General Brian Sandoval (now U. S. District Court Judge); Justices of the Supreme Court William Maupin and Nancy Becker; Nevada Senator and UNLV Professor of Political Science Dina Titus; District Judges Stewart Bell, Mark Denton, Valorie Vega, Nancy Saitta, Michelle Leavitt, Jessie Walsh, Jennifer Togliatti, and Jackie Glass; Dr. E. Lee Bernick and Dr. G. Keong Leong; Mayor Oscar Goodman, Clark County Commissioner and Chairman Rory Reid; Mayor Michael Montandon, Sheriff of Southern Nevada Bill Young, Justice of the Nevada Supreme Court Michael Douglas, Ms. Wendy Yu-ping Wu, Dr. Feng-wei Lai, Nevada Assemblywoman Valerie Weber, Dr. William N. Thompson; among others (the names are written at random)." *2

"Enriching our research and community service process were made possible by these friends who joined and supported this academic institute. WBTI is really a chain of dedicated individuals who joined to research, serve, support, and to give. We take great pride of our people, including our outstanding faculty. They are some of the best in the world. We are sincere servers to help improve the quality of life of all our residents and visitors of Nevada," expresses heartily Dr. Tony Lei.

"I want to thank you for my recent appointment as an Associate Fellow of the Public Administration Institution by Washington Business and Technology Institute. It is certainly an honor to be acknowledged by you for my commitment to serving this community. I look forward to expanding my public service by working with you and the Institute to continue to better our community. Your dedication is a wonderful example of what others should strive to accomplish," wrote LVSCP Attorney Natalie Tyrrell to Dr. Tony Lei from her Office. "I want to share with you my favoriate 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.' Thank you for this honor and the wonderful dinner celebration." Natalie is now a Justice of the Peace of the Clark County Justice Court.

Community participation is an asset for enhancing public service. True leadership comes from knowing when one needs to depend on other's knowledge. Leaders are individuals who help people understand their motivations for doing things. They set the direction and understand why the direction is important. Dr. Tony Lei believes that in education leadership is a call to help others. He has the quality that inspires people to do what needs to be done and to feel good about doing it. Balanced with his outstanding academic expertise, he is a servant of God for community service, sincere and humble but not weak.*3

By loving, we are enriched. Love in action is service above self. Make service a part of character and experience the abundant reward that comes from serving others. Let us fan the flame of service in ever-increasing circles. With this, we can envision a community that is safe, peaceful, and healthy. District Judge of the Family Court Cheryl Moss said that, "I've remained dedicated to serving the community, and I've been inspired by the leadership, wisdom, and guidance of WBTI's Prsident Dr. Tony Lei. I recognized that Dr. Tony Lei's accomplishments have demonstrated that taking part in the community with ones kindness and selfless service can contribute excellence as well as make a difference in the society."

One of the important accomplishment of Dr. Tony Lei as a famous Professor of Management is the research and findings on computer education, institutional management, and the art of leading of his three notable books entitled "Information Management", "Business Management", and " Management Behavior". "A good leader should acquire the ability of and execute the following seven management functions: 1. Planning: to plan important task project of this unit; 2. Organizing; to master the organoizational system of this unit; 3. Staffing: to recruit the appropriate staff members; 4. Directing: to direct the people on the staff of this unit; 5. Coodinating: to coordinate the benefits and conflicts of this unit in order to attain sound cooperation; 6. Representing: to reprent this unit in order to coordinate outside concerns and relationships; 7. Budgeting: to establish and control the budget of this unit; 8. Systematizing: to use management information system throuh computers and multimedia for our modern business," says Dr. Tony Lei.

"There are three models of leadership that a good leader, especially the leader of an association, may emphasize: A. Creative Leadership: The leader takes the most importance of holding the great principles to develop the future endeavor of this unit. (1) Sense of Mission -- to make the members not work as a job but high degree of the "concept of value"; (2) Foresightness -- to develop the future blueprint for this unit; (3) Teamwork Spirit -- to motivate the cooperation and success of the whole group; (4) Orientation by Objectives -- to encourage all the members unit put full effort on its clear and definite objectives," continues Dr. Tony Lei.

"B. Humanity Leadership: the leader emphasizes the importance of his or her relationship with the abordinates. He or she motivates their work morality and spirit. Therefore, he or she should understand, emphasize, and hold of humanity in order to promote everyone's potentiality to endeavor for this unit. The key points are: 1. Trust; 2. Delegation of authority; 3. The Second Chance Theory (to pardon your subordinate);
4. Encouragement; 5. Help and Care; 6. Support and Assistance; 7. Training and Education.

"C. Democratic Leadership: The leader respects humanity and allows individual development to make his or her group members cooperate and work by division of labor with self-motion and self-revelation. Its specialties are:

1. The leader endeavors to win followers by himself or herself with good personality and emphasizes knowledge and experience as the foundation of leading. 2. Subordinates have a full opportunity to participate decisionmaking and to suggest good idea. 3. The leader puts attention to the benefit of the subordinates, understand their needs, focuses the importance of the people. 4. The leader gives only some direction on the work planning, and leave the details of the work processing to the subordinates. 5. The leader has full opportunity to participate in employees activities, and they get along with each other very well. 6. The communication between the leader and subordinates is fully in good condition, and they enjoy fruitful accomplishment with good understanding. 7. The division of labor is decided by the group and the subordinates have the right selecting their work accompanists with the direction and coordination of their leader by their side. 8. The leader evaluates the performance of his or her subordinates objectively and renders fair judgement in giving prize or punishment."

"In practically, the effectiveness of the above leadership can be attained by its flexible application in accordance with the right time, place, matter, people, and objective situation, " Dr. Tony Lei points out.*4

"In righteousness you will be established."*5 "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 power of public service that based on 'knowledge is the power of righteouness,'; the advancement of technology, entreneurship, and innovation; and the spirit that 'knowledge calls, ultimately, for a life of service'," says Dr. Tony Lei.

"Thank you for my recent appointment as an Associate Fellow of Public Administration and Chairperson of the Community Relations Study Committee of the Washington Business and Technology Institute. It is truly an honor to be a part of this organization, as it plays an important role in identifying, researching, and addressing the issues facing our community.
Your leadership and dedication to the community are to be commended, and I look forward to working with you and the Institute in this new capacity. Thank you again for affording me this opportunity," wrote Councilwoman Lynette McDonald from her Office of the Las Vegas City Council to Dr. Tony Lei.

WBTI has reported continuously the accomplishment and advancement of the members of its faculty and advisory board through publications and multimedia across Las Vegas, Nevada, California, New York, Hawaii, Washington D. C., China, Philippine, Singapore, Thailand, and Taiwan. One of its the most important educational technology is the WBTI website at http://communitylink.reviewjournal.com/lvrj/wbti brought to you by "Las Vegas Review-journal" and lasvegas.com. The presentation and publication by WBTI through multimedia in the recent twelve years have highly increased the value and status of their positions of the academic institute.

In righteousness, the poeple who cares about community service by the time of her or his professionalsim will alway winning the support by the citizens here in Nevada. Most of the faculty members in the Public Administration Institution (PAI) have been the revelators of this special trait during their elections. Many of them won the highest votes at their judicial and general elections. In joining the Institute as a faculty member, she or he enjoys the rebounded and fruitful experience of academic research and community service. "This position (Fellow of the PAI of WBTI) will undoublely porvide me with avenues for exploring improvements in public services to which I am most dedicated," said District Judge Valorie Vega after the winning of election in 2000.*6

"As Director of Public Administration Institution (PAI), it's my privilege to share a leadership role with Dr. Tony Lei and to have wonderful cooperation of all the faculty since PAI's establishment. Innovative in integrating his expertise in institutional management and spiritual value in education, Dr. Tony Lei's wisdom and efforts towards community service and academic endeavor have been very valuable. We expect the forthcoming work performance of Pan Pacific and Asian American Forum (PPAAF) founded by this Institute to help Improve the quality of life of the people and to contribute to the peosperity of this State," Said Dr. William Thompson.*7 Bill is former Chairman and now Professor of the Department of Public Administration of UNLV.

"As you know, I've begun to learn and practise leading skills through my college life. I'm deeply impressed by the valuable practicality and theoreticality of the leading skills proclaimed and inspired by Washington Business and Technology Institute. During my three victories of the past elections since he moved to Las Vegas from Los Angeles, Dr. Tony Lei have been one of my great supporter with his outstanding knowledge and wisdom," said U. S. Congresswoman Shelley Berkley.

"Under the recommendation of President Dr. Tony Tung-tien Lei, Taiwan Benevolent Association of America and Ms. Wendy Yu-ping Wu have received Greeting Letters from U. S. Senator John Ensign and U. S. Congressman James Gobbons and Certificates of Recognition from Nevada Governor Kenny Guinn and U. S. Congressman Jon Porter. She was appointed Assistant Fellow of Public Administration Institution (PAI) and Chairperson of Interstate Business Cooperation and Development Council by Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) on May 11, 2005." The announcement was made on Thursday, July 14, 2005, by Dr. John Wang, Spokesperson for WBTI in Las Vegas, Nevada, U. S. A.*8

"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. .....," wrote U. S. Senator John Ensign in his Greetings Letter to Taiwan Benevolent Association of America (TBAA).*9

"It is a pleasure and privilege to welcome the Taiwan Benevolent Association of America and its international convention to Las Vegas and the Paris Hotel. .....Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help make your visit a more pleasant and productive experience. .....," wrote U. S. Congressman James Gibbons in his Greetings to TBAA.*10

"Asian Pacific American have made profound contributions to American life, including the arts, economy, education, science, technology, politics, and sport. This community was here to help build trascontinental railroad, to serve in the Civil War, and to develop the latest Internet technology. I'm pleased to assure all you leaders of the community here today that I'll continue working to preserve and advance the heritage and value of Asian Americans. I'll put my effort to reach out and address issues of importance to the Asian American community, including the economy, education, safety, racial profiling, and hate crime, and immigration, among others. I'd like also to show my appreciation of all your accomplishments and contributions to the American way of life and your oustanding participation in the political, business , and educational processes. It's my pleasure to accept the honor as Professor of Administrative Strategies of the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration of Washington Business and Technology Institute," said Harry Reid, U.

The campaign event and dinner party for Kenny Guinn to be the Governor of Nevada in 1998 was a big success with Dr. Tony Lei's invitation of 100 guests including business owners, community leaders, professional executives, educational administrators, and multimedia representatives. In order to advance the proclamation and creed of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI), it has also launched and participated a series of event and dinner parties for a special tribute to the people who contribute to the peomotion of the quality of life of all our residents and visitors of Nevada. WBTI emphasizes the encouragement and promotion of academic research, community service, and humane spirit since its establishment in January 8, 1996. Feature articles had published by "Nevada Examiner", "Seniors United Highlights Maganzine", among others for many times to unite all the Asian American communities for the event and party to pay a special tribute to Harry Reid as U. S. Senator and Majority Whip of the Senate initiated by WBTI. In perspective, we need to follow the above two examples of the united forces of all our Asian Americans to win the recognition by the Mainstream of our efforts and wisdom for our community involvement in Nevada. Viewing the following record, it is encouraged that we all the Asian Americans did build our "Great Wall" in this Silver State for community involvement:
