Las Vegas boosters can't say whether economic recovery is three months or three years away, but they want to make sure roads and rails are ready for visitors whenever they return.*801

On Tuesday the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority approved several transportation-related resolutions, including one in support of a high-speed train from Southern California to Las Vegas.
The vote in support of the proposed DesertXpress train from Las Vegas to Victorville, Calif., came on the same day Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., also said he favored the proposal over a competing plan for a faster, more expensive train that rides on magnetic levitation rails.*802
"I'll be most supportive of the one who brings it first," said Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman. "We need to make it easier for our visitors to get here."

The DesertXpress would be privately funded and has backers that include former Las Vegas casino owner Tony Marnell and political operative Sig Rogich.
It would cover about 180 miles at a speed of about 150 miles per hour.
The DesertXpress would cost $3.5 billion to $4 billion to build and could eventually support as many as 60 million riders annually, although even backers estimate it would generate just 10 million one-way trips in the first year.
"What he is seeing is that DesertXpress has made much more progress in the last couple years than (magnetic levitation) has made in 30," said Reid spokesman Jon Summers. "He just wants to get it done."

The resolution from the authority and endorsement from Reid won't bring any money to the table, but it could help the project generate momentum.
One way Reid might help would be to push to have the proposed route designated as an official rail corridor.
"When you are a designated corridor of any type, whether it is by the administration or Congress, it receives a lot of attention," said Las Vegas-based transportation consultant Tom Skancke.
The group wants to connect to a proposed $20 billion rail system in California that is yet to become reality. Voters there have approved bonds for the project, but the state has not provided any funds.
DesertXpress backers say even without the California rail connection the project would work with just the Victorville-to-Las Vegas portion but would benefit from a connection to Los Angeles and other major cities.
Backers of the magnetic levitation proposal are also competing for the space.
Richann Bender, executive director of the California-Nevada Super Speed Train Commission, appeared before the authority and asked for a chance to get a second resolution for that project.
"We are right now involved in an environmental impact statement, in the early phases," Bender said.
Skancke, who has met with the DesertXpress backers, said that project could be ready for construction in as little as 18 months.
"I think they are beyond conceptual," he said.
In addition to the rail resolution, the authority discussed road projects, including a vote to contribute funding to construct collector and distributor lanes that would shift some local traffic off Interstate 15 between Tropicana Avenue and Blue Diamond Road.
"You are basically getting the locals off I-15," said Nevada Department of Transportation Director Susan Martinovich.
The project will begin later this year and cost $255 million to $275 million. It will cost the authority about $18.3 million annually to cover the bond payments.
It is the first of three phases of Interstate 15 improvements between Tropicana and Primm, although the authority isn't obligated to contribute to the final two phases.
The authority approved a resolution in favor of a proposed addition to the Interstate Highway system between Las Vegas and Phoenix.
Interstate 11 would essentially be an upgraded version of Highway 93.

Finally, the authority approved a resolution urging the federal government to upgrade an interchange on Interstate 15 at Devore, Calif.*803

***** "A thief is only there to steal and kill and destroy. I came so they
can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever

Some people fear worshiping God because they wrongly think that means
they have to become judgmental and legalistic. Nothing could be
further from the truth. Jesus came to give us a rich and satisfying
life (see John 10:10 NLT).
***** "....... ... ." ---Director & Fellow at the PAI of WBTI Dr. William N. Thompson *101
It is Satan who wants to "steal and kill and destroy" your freedom and
your joy (John 10:10 MSG).
Often well-meaning and misguided people can cause us to avoid God
because of their fanaticism. Here are the types of religious fanatics
I've observed over the years:
Freddy the Pharisee: Rigid, narrow-minded, and legalistic, he has a
rule for everything. His favorite word is "don't." And it's only
natural for some people to fear they may become just like that if they
become a Christian. But Jesus called people like Freddy the Pharisee
"blind guides," saying, "You strain your water so you won't
accidentally swallow a gnat, but you swallow a camel!" (Matthew 23:24
NLT).
Susie Self-Righteous: Holier-than-thou attitude and judgmental of
others, her favorite phrase is "Thank God, I'm not like you!" Am I
going to become like that if I become a Christian? If I get to know
God? Yet, Jesus told the story of two men praying; one self-righteous
and one humbled by his failures: "I tell you, this sinner, not the
Pharisee, returned home justified before God. For those who exalt
themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be
exalted" (Luke 18:14 NLT).*2
Billy Bible-Thumper: He's an obnoxious and overzealous crusader. His
favorite phrase is "Turn or burn!" Yet, God's plan for bringing us
home to Him is full of love, grace, and sacrifice: "For God so loved
the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in
Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His
Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through
Him" (John 3:16-17 NIV).
Pauline Praise-eluia: She can't speak without religious clich�s.
Everything is a miracle or the Devil did it. She's put her brain on
the shelf. But God doesn't want you to stop thinking when you become a
Christian; in fact, He wants to give you the mind of Christ (1
Corinthians 2:16 NIV).
***** "....... ." ---Nevada Assembly Spearker Barbara Buckley Tourism AP lvrj/wbti *108
These are stereotypes, but they represent people who have abandoned
their relationship with God to instead embrace a religion. Jesus says,
"I have come that you might have life [not religion] and have it to
the fullest!" (John 10:10).

"I want to give my deepest gratitude to the American audiences who have such a warm heart and gave me long-lasting standing ovations," Tsujii said through his translator. "It made me so happy."
Zhang said that "there is nothing more challenging or stressful than the Cliburn competition."
South Korea's Yeol Eum Son, 23, nabbed the silver medal. ...
All three winners receive a $20,000 cash prize and, more importantly for the pianists, an album deal, three years of international professional management for concert tours and other prizes.

<<<<< Innovation is practical for a real need. It is not a random process. "When it works, it works because someone has identified a real need, and found a way to bring new ideas or new technologies to bear on that need," said Lewis W. Lehr. An innovator's life is governed by "to create" lists. She or he is incessantly pursuing new possibilities and refinning existing ones.
"Business has only two functions," wrote the late Professor Peter Drucker, "marketing and innovation."
"One of my interests since I've been in this position on March 27, 2004 is to encourage the mutual cooperation and development of tourism and business between Nevada and the Asian Countries," said Associate Professor Barbara E. Buckley of the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI).
Supported by the Advisory Board and faculty members of WBTI since then with wisdom of cooperation and publicity through articles, its missions helped her win the election as Speaker of the Nevada Assembly in last November.
Our coming work performance to some significant projects will be feature articles for the visibility and popularity of some international cities through the world's leading search engines on Internet: (1) Beijing, (2) Soel, (3) Taipei, (4) Macau, (5) Bangkok, and (6) Clark County ("Las Vegas"). Tourism and business are our best priorities for the International Cities Business Council (ICBC) of WBTI, nothing much about politics. The late Dr. Peter F. Drucker inspired us that, "Innovation is very important. No good business can survive without successful innovation during a period of time!" Nevada is the fountain of hospitality and touring business. Macau is a recent practice with Nevada to have great prosperity in tourism and economic development. Now, Nevada Assemblywoman Francis Allen is a Regional Marketing Administrator of Korea of the AMI and Advisor of the ICBC of WBTI. For innovation and breakthrough in the field of business, the wise men may have a bright and beautiful sky!
To encourage tourism and business is a world-wide value for every country in this world, not just for Nevada! Volunteerly on a non-profit and non-partisan basis, we are pleased to assist the promotion of this endeavor. We love heartily the world that we are living with!
Innovation is one of the most important traits for the prosperity of American business. The time has come for our Pan Pacific and Asian countries to emphazise and catch it as soon as possible!
