To know how to do something well is to enjoy it." --- Pearl Buck ***** Management is nothing more than motivating other people. ---Lee Iacocca "America is a stronger and better nation because of the hard work and the faith and the entrepreneurial spirit of immigrants," said President Bush of the United States of America on Wendesday, January 7, 2004. "Our nation needs an immigration system that serves the American economy and reflets the American dream." *2 U. S. Senator John Ensign has served the people of Nevada from his days as a veterinarian, small business owner, and U.S. Congressman to his present role as the 24th U.S. Senator for Nevada. His 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. Senator John Ensign fights successfully for his people, land, and country. Jonn's successful story is a model for many individuals all around the world. Strengthened by faith in God and family, we knew in our hearts that with hard work, perseverance, and the help of newly found neighbors and friends, we could indeed achieve the American dream. ---U. S. Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao*3 Elaine Chao believes deeply in the American dream because she has lived it. Her successful life gives eloquent testimony to the virtues of hard work and perseverance and to the unending promise of this great country. George W. Bush*4 Senators from both parties at the Education, Health, Labor and Pensions Committee hearing hailed Ms. Chao, who immigrated from Taiwan when she was 8, as the incarnation of the American dream. The New York Times*5 "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. ....., I commend you on your dedication to promoting understanding between the people of Taiwan and the United States through educational, cultural, economic, and scientific programs. Your contributions to the betterment of the communities in which you live have had a significant positive impact on the quality of life for the families who reside in those communities," wrote U. S. Senator John Ensign in his Greetings Letter to Taiwan Benevolent Association of America.*6 "In righteousness we shall be established. 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 elegant properties of freedom, democracy, entrepreneurship, and justice; the power of public service that based on 'knowledge is the power of righteouness,'; the advancement of technology, innovation, and civilization; and the spirit that 'knowledge calls, ultimately, for a life of service'. We believe that a thing of beauty is a joy forever. With the effort and participation of many intellectuals, leaders, officials, among others through benevolent spirit and brotherly love, the 28th Convention of TBAA is really marvelous," pointed out President Dr. Tony Lei of Washington Business and Technology Institute.*7 "John Ensign and Elaine Chao 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.*8 People are interested in having a little more understanding about the successful story of U. S. Senator John Ensign after they read the above expression by Christine. It's our pleasure to offer our viewers more about it by reprinting the following two articles: ------------------------------- 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!*9 --------------------------------------- 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.

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; 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.

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", "Modern 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 emphazise: 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 emphazises 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 decision-making 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, entrepreneurship, 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.

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.

"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.

Lt. Governor of Nevada Lorraine Hunt was invited as the Honorary Chairperson of International Cities Business Council (ICBC) by President Dr. Tony Lei of WBTI. President Dr. Carol C. Harter of UNLV and Nevada Assemblywoman Valerie Weber were elected as Advisors. Nevada Lieutenant Governor Lorraine T. Hunt was re-elected to her current office in the November 2002 General Election. She originally took office in January of 1999. As the lieutenant governor, Hunt is president of the Nevada State Senate, chair of the Nevada Commission on Tourism, chair of the Nevada Commission on Economic Development (which includes the Nevada Film Office) and vice-chair of the Nevada Department of Transportation board of directors. She also sits on the governors cabinet and serves as chief executive when the governor is unable to serve for any reason or is absent from the state.*2 Hunt is a member of the executive committee of the National Lieutenant Governors Association and serves as vice-chair of the National Republican Lieutenant Governors Association. It was then that Hunt first demonstrated her entrepreneurial ability by making her first real estate investment in a piece of desert land on the outskirts of Las Vegas. Years later the investment led her into the world of business when she became president and chief executive officer of Perri, Inc., a real estate and restaurant management company. She has represented the private sector by serving as vice-chair of the Nevada Commission on Tourism; a director and past president of the Nevada Restaurant Association; director, Nevada Hotel-Motel Association; and vice-chair, Nevada Motion Picture Commission and vice chair of the Nevada Motion Picture Foundation. She began her governmental service with her election to the Clark county commission. She served a four-year term as commissioner and, during her tenure, also served as vice-chair. She also became the first woman to chair the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) since its inception. Throughout the years Hunt has acquired extensive experience in business and was awarded Nevadas first Governors Award for Excellence in Business as well as being named Nevadas U.S. Small Business Advocate of the Year.

Hunt also participates extensively in community service, including having served on the St. Rose Dominican Hospital Community Board, as past president and trustee of St. Judes Ranch for Children, and as Vice-Chair of the Pan Pacific and Asian American Forum (PPAAF) of WBTI.*3 Representatives of Air China Cargo have informed Nevada leaders the carrier will use Reno-Tahoe International Airport as a diversion airport when bad weather prevents its scheduled cargo flights from landing in San Francisco, Lt. Gov. Lorraine Hunt said Thursday. A letter from the airline also hinted that additional flights between Asia and Northern Nevada could be in store. In recent years, Hunt has led three missions to China to encourage additional trade and tourism between China and Nevada.*4 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.*5 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 (China). 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.*6 "I can't overstate the significance of China's potential as a visitor market for Nevada," Lt. Governor Hunt said. "I found modern cities rife with elements of Western culture such as Starbucks Coffee, MTV, the Rat Pack-era music of Frank Sinatra, etc. Up to 10 percent of the country's approximately 1.4 billion residents can now afford to travel overseas, which has positioned China as Nevada's "newest and most-modern market" for tourism." On May 18, 2000 Lt. Governor Lorriane Hunt of Nevada led a delegation from Nevada to Taipei of the Republic of China. "This is important to Nevada in areas beyond just our tourism industry. Taiwan enjoys a growing economy with considerable technological advancement and as such, they are one of the world's top 15 trading nations. And with Nevada's total exports exceeding one billion dollars in 1999 alone, our local businesses stand to benefit as the Taiwanese market continues to prosper and expand," Lt. Governor of Nevada Hunt pointed out in Taipei.*7 "The Nevada Commission on Tourism believes it is vital to establish a presence in Taiwan in order to represent our tourism destinations to this emerging world travel market. Taiwan's capital, Taipei, has a working population of four million, with a youthful, technologically oriented work force. There is tremendous potential for building tourism among this sector," said Hunt.*8 "Similar to the new direction of the government in Taiwan, we are seeking new horizons for the economy of Nevada. Building mutally beneficial relationships with Taiwan, and other foreign countries, will create the demand for direct, regularly scheduled flights. Our work will help Nevada establish contacts for lucrative business and convention visitors from around the world that will form the foundation for a new pillar in the Nevada economy."*9 --------------------------------------------- References *1.

It was already popular for the past years to hold dinner parties to pay special tribute to elected offficials, but most of them were civil administrators or civic representatives. Dr. Tony Lei initiated to hold event and dinner party to pay a spcial tribute to the judicial professionals through elections in Nevada. Justice Nancy Becker was the first one selected by him to be paid a tribute. A successful event and dinner party was held for her on May 23, 2001 at Harbor Palace Restaurant in Las Vegas. It was chaired by Dr. Tony Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI); Theresa Malone, Member of Nevada State Board of Education; Dr. R. D. Prabhu, Chairperson of CAN-DO; and Dr. Joey Villaflor, Member of Nevada Board of Health. We the Asian American communities have continuously achieved the efforts for other judicial professionals since then. "To dedicate to the creed of Washington Business and Technology Institute, it's my challenge as an Associate Fellow of it's Public Administration Institution (PAI) to endeavor with all the intellectuals of this Institute to improve the quality of life of the people of Nevada," said Jennifer Togliatti at the Dinner Party on May 17, 2002.

Together with knowledge as the power of rightiousness, we may build a community where this and future generations will have more opportunities and advantages to live a prosperous and healthy life," said Judge Michelle Leavitt at the Dinner Party.*13 We are deeply regret and sorry that Judge Michelle Leavitt's father passed away weeks ago on a Friday. Myron Leavitt, 73, a Justice of the Nevada Supreme Court, who had a long political career in Nevada. He was born in Las Vegas. Myron was a football and track athlete at the University of Nevada at Reno, where he earned a journalism degree. He worked a year as sports editor of the Las Vegas Review-Journal before studying law at the University of Utah.*14 Myron had private law practice for 28 years. He served as a Councilman of Las Vegas, a Commissioner Clark County and a Justice of the Peace before winning election as Lieutenant Governor of Nevada from 1979 to 1983. Leavitt served as a Clark County District Court Judge for 15 years before winning a Supreme Court position as one of its Justice in 1998.*15 The late Myron Leavitt is honored as a Memorial Fellow of the Public Administration Institution (PAI) of Washingoton Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) on February 4, 2004. "I can't help thinking about Justice Myron Leavitt, our long time Asian American friend of Nevada, who died so unexpectedly. This brings to my mind the urgency of our times in Las Vegas. We note the vanishing of many heroes that built the world of Nevada after 1963. We recognize that the best way to honor those who have gone before us is to rise up and find the greatness in our own lives, the strength of charater, the vision and courage, the determination and selflessness to address the challenges that still lay before us," says Dr. Tony Lei, President of WBTI, for the Event and Dinner Party held by the Asian American Community of Nevada on February 4, 2004 in Las Vegas. Asian American Community has won recognition for contribution to Nevada by the American Mainstream. The main reason for this recognition is the great and cooperative wisdom and effort that we the Asian American communities have continuously participated and offered to the mainstream society in Nevada.*16 -------------------------------- References *1.

Through the cooperation and development among business, academic institute, and government, we're expecting to promote the quality of living conditions for all our residents and visitors of Nevada," said Nancy Oesterle after she was being promoted. Miss Nancy Oesterle is a judge. She holds the Department 6 Justice of the Peace position. Judge Nancy Oesterle was appointed to the Las Vegas Justice Court Bench in December of 1990 and became the first female ever appointed in its 89 year history. She has been re-elected to that position twice and has been Chief Judge of Las Vegas Justice Court twice. Judge Oesterle served eight (8) years on the Nevada Judges Association board and was president in 1995. For the past six years she has been the Chairman of the Education Committee for the Nevada Judges Association and she is an active member of the Legislative Committee, speaking frequently in Carson City on bills that affect the Nevada Judges Association. She is a member of the Nevada Supreme Court Judicial Assessment Commission and chair of the Criminal Justice Task Force Sub-committee. She is co-chair of the Nevada Supreme Court Community Relations Committee and a member of the Nevada Supreme Court Mandatory Sentencing Commission. The Nevada Judges Association honored Judge Oesterle with the Distinguished Judge of the Year Award in 1994.*2 Judge Oesterle moved to Las Vegas 27 years ago from South Miami, Florida. She attended the University of Nevada Las Vegas in 1978 and earned her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Criminal Justice graduating with High Distinction. She then attended California Western School of Law in San Diego and received her Juris Doctor Degree in 1981. Upon graduating from law school, Judge Oesterle was employed by the Clark County District Attorneys Office as a trial attorney in the criminal division for almost 10 years. During that time period she served six years on the Clark County Bar Association Board and in 1990 was President of Clark County Bar Association. In 1993 the Clark County Bar Association presented her with the Distinguished Presidential Service Award for her service to the Bar and that same year she was honored by the Chamber of Commerce with the Women of Achievement award for the legal category. In December, 2000, Judge Oesterle was named by the Clark County Law Foundation as the first ever Ambassador of the Year Award for her continued community service. Judge Oesterle believes strongly in the importance of educating the public in all aspects regarding the law. She is the creator, producer and co-host of a weekly TV show, Law For The Layman, which has been airing in Clark County for the past thirteen (13) years. She also volunteers her time to a program she initiated entitled Keys to the Courthouse in which she visits elementary schools on a weekly basis and brings the elementary class to her courtroom to educate them regarding the criminal justice process. She has been the organizer of the Doctor v. Lawyer volleyball tournaments and softball games for charity for the past fourteen (14) years. But her real claim to fame was being a UNLV cheerleader throughout her years at UNLV.*3 "Even with the constancy of his presidential responsblities, Tony ( Dr. Tony Lei ) carved out time and energy during the past three years with wisdom and knowledge through the cooperation of Dr. William Thompson to create the blueprint for the Institution that ultimately paved the way for the 2000 openning of our Public Administration Institution (PAI) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI)," said Justice of the Supreme Court Nancy Becker for "Nevada Examiner " on June 30, 2000.

Sarah]]] The Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) was established early in 2003. Drs. E. Lee Bernick and G. Keong Leong were appointed as Deans of the School by WBTI on March 11, 2003. "The mission of this School will emphasize the humanitarian orientation of public administration adn social responsibility of business management . Throuugh academic entrepreneurship, we may expect the endeavor of this school for the community service based on humane spirit, led by Chairperson Elaine Chao of WBTI," said Dr. Dina Titus, Professor of Administrative Strategies in GSBPA. Dina is a Senator of Nevada Senate and Adjunct Professor of Political Science of UNLV.*3 "Through the recommendations by our faculty members including District Judge Jessie Walsh and Clak County Sheriff Bill Young, Ms. Lynette Boggs McDonald has been appointed Adjunct Assistant Professor of the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) on October 21, 2004," announced Dr. John Wang, Spokesman of WBTI, on Friday, October 22, 2004 in Las Vegas, Nevada. "It's my great pleasure to accept the task, responsibility, and practice," said Lynette McDonald at the time when she was informed by President Dr. Tony Lei of WBTI for the appointment. "With the capacity on adjunct basis, it's good for me to develop my entrepreneurial spirit by utilizing both my advanced education in public adminstration and practical experience in managerial responsibilities at UNLV." A self-described "Army brat," Boggs McDonald spent her childhood on American Army bases in Germany and Italy, and has lived in Las Vegas for the last 13 years. She is a business graduate of the University of Notre Dame, attended the University of Oregon Graduate School of Journalism and received a Master's of Public Administration degree from UNLV.*4 From 1994 to 1997 Lynette served as the Assistant City Manager for the City of Las Vegas. She was the first woman to lead a city council ward in the history of the city of Las Vegas, receiving 70 percent of the vote in Ward 2 during the 2001 election. In April of 2004 she was appointed by Governor Guinn to serve as County Commissioner in District F. Having served over the past decade in local government makes her uniquely prepared to deal with the challenges facing her district and our community. As our County Commissioner, Lynette is working with community stakeholders to update neighborhood master plans so that responsible and predictable land-use decisions can be made. She negotiated a land exchange with the BLM and a local developer to preserve Red Rock Canyon. When a developer failed to keep his commitment to donate land for a new school, she blocked his building permits until he made good on that promise. Lynette will continue fighting to ensure developers live up to their agreements with Clark County residents, especially on the issue of identifying sites for schools, fire stations, police substations and parks.*5 Clark County Commissioner Lynette Boggs McDonald was appointed by President Bush to serve on a national commission related to international study programs. Boggs McDonald, a Republican appointed to the County Commission in March, said she is "honored and humbled" to be one of four people chosen by Bush for the Commission on the Abraham Lincoln Study Abroad Fellowship Program.*6 The commission will launch the new program, which is designed to expose Americans to international cultures, governments and economic systems, and which will probably work with the U.S. State Department. "To encourage the cooperation and development of English and Chinese speaking countries with Nevada has been particularly important to our country at this critical period of time. The establishment of GSBPA will launch our effort that emphasizes the value of humane and administrative orientation. The creed of this School is both on the spirit of educational excellence and academic entrepreneurship. We're forecasting the smoth and efficient growth of this School together with the growth of the tourism industry and the economy of Nevada after the 911 and SARS," Dr. E. Lee Bernick, Dean of GSBPA, who is Professor and Chairman of the Department of Public Administration of UNLV, said at the Summer 2003 Symposium and Dinner Party. It was held by WBTI at the Zax Restaurant of Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino on May 19, 2003 in Las Vegas, Nevada.*7 --------------------------------------------- References *1. Gao, Mindy (馮鳴台).

Institute 2245 Homeland St. Las Vegas, NV 89128-6792 Dear Tony, I'm watching from my window today--from an office situated in a fouth-floor corner of Thornton Administrative Center--and see the future arriving, car by car. This is indeed a strategic vantage point, for from it I witness a pride-filled pilgrimage as parents bring their children to campus, their dreams packed in overstuffed duffels; a few telltale signs of trepidation on their faces. Image with me that in four years, these students will join YOUR ranks...as Pepperdine alumni.*1 This is a favorite season for me, and I write you to share a slice of the excitement we feel on the eve of a new academic year. It's my sith as president, and there is much for which I am thankful. As one of our more than 70,000 living graduates, you represent a distinguished "point of pride" that sets us apart and in many cases lifts Pepperdine into the upper echelon of America's best independent universities.*2 ........................................... Dr. Andrew K. Benton has served in higher education for nearly 30 years. He planned for a career as an attorney or probate judge in his hometown, and focused his education toward those interests. The desire to work with young people in their own pursuit of higher education was strong and he, instead, followed a career path that led to his current role as the seventh president of Pepperdine University. He assumed that position on June 16, 2000. Benton received his bachelor of science in American Studies from Oklahoma Christian University and went on to earn the juris doctor degree from Oklahoma City University School of Law. He was admitted to the Oklahoma State Bar in 1979 and later to practice before Federal Courts. For ten years, Benton served in various administrative roles at his undergraduate alma mater.

It is our regret not being able to post the names and titles of many important and special guests including some more hosts, because we could not get an update of the above list since January 20, 2004.

It was already popular for the past years to hold dinner parties to pay special tribute to elected offficials, but most of them were civil administrators or civic representatives. Dr. Tony Lei initiated to hold event and dinner party to pay a spcial tribute to the judicial professionals through elections in Nevada. Justice Nancy Becker was the first one selected by him to be paid a tribute. A successful event and dinner party was held for her on May 23, 2001 at Harbor Palace Restaurant in Las Vegas. It was chaired by Dr. Tony Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI); Theresa Malone, Member of Nevada State Board of Education; Dr. R. D. Prabhu, Chairperson of CAN-DO; and Dr. Joey Villaflor, Member of Nevada Board of Health. We the Asian American communities have continuously achieved the efforts for other judicial professionals since then. "To dedicate to the creed of Washington Business and Technology Institute, it's my challenge as an Associate Fellow of it's Public Administration Institution (PAI) to endeavor with all the intellectuals of this Institute to improve the quality of life of the people of Nevada," said Jennifer Togliatti at the Dinner Party on May 17, 2002. The Event with dinner was held by the Asian American Community to pay a special tribute to District Judges Michelle Leavitt and Jennifer Togliatti at the Harbor Palace Seafood Restaurant in Las Vegas. Judge Michelle Leavitt deserves special recognition of her expertise, integrity, conscientious and dedicated professionalism. She has been a bright Associate Fellow of PAI since 2000. "Thanks to Dr. Tony Lei, Dr. R. D. Prabhu, and Attorney David Amesbury to chair this Event and Party. Together with knowledge as the power of rightiousness, we may build a community where this and future generations will have more opportunities and advantages to live a prosperous and healthy life," said Judge Michelle Leavitt at the Dinner Party.*13 We are deeply regret and sorry that Judge Michelle Leavitt's father passed away weeks ago on a Friday. Myron Leavitt, 73, a Justice of the Nevada Supreme Court, who had a long political career in Nevada. He was born in Las Vegas. Myron was a football and track athlete at the University of Nevada at Reno, where he earned a journalism degree. He worked a year as sports editor of the Las Vegas Review-Journal before studying law at the University of Utah.*14 Myron had private law practice for 28 years. He served as a Councilman of Las Vegas, a Commissioner Clark County and a Justice of the Peace before winning election as Lieutenant Governor of Nevada from 1979 to 1983. Leavitt served as a Clark County District Court Judge for 15 years before winning a Supreme Court position as one of its Justice in 1998.*15 The late Myron Leavitt is honored as a Memorial Fellow of the Public Administration Institution (PAI) of Washingoton Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) on February 4, 2004. "I can't help thinking about Justice Myron Leavitt, our long time Asian American friend of Nevada, who died so unexpectedly. This brings to my mind the urgency of our times in Las Vegas. We note the vanishing of many heroes that built the world of Nevada after 1963. We recognize that the best way to honor those who have gone before us is to rise up and find the greatness in our own lives, the strength of charater, the vision and courage, the determination and selflessness to address the challenges that still lay before us," says Dr. Tony Lei, President of WBTI, for the Event and Dinner Party held by the Asian American Community of Nevada on February 4, 2004 in Las Vegas. Asian American Community has won recognition for contribution to Nevada by the American Mainstream. The main reason for this recognition is the great and cooperative wisdom and effort that we the Asian American communities have continuously participated and offered to the mainstream society in Nevada.*16 -------------------------------- References *1.

082605-3187 "Business & Administration" (PPAA 19), ***** Friday, 10:28 a. m., August 26, 2005 #Second printing of the Second Edition *****A theme of the event and dinner party to pay a special tribute to the Supreme Court Justice Nancy Becker ---Growing Value of the Fellowship of Public Administration Institution of WBTI (Nancy Becker is now the Chief Justice of the Nevada Supreme Court) By Tiffany Chang Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) was founded in January 8, 1996. We have produced distinguished scholars, successful entrepreneurs, and outstanding community leaders. For the time being, our vision of 2004 is to continue to put more wisdom and effort in encourageing those people who are outstanding in public administration, academic research, and community service. WBTI has established the Public Administration Institution (PAI) in order to meet the increasng investigation requirements of current public managers and special research needs of professional public administrators. It seeks to provide an awareness and understanding of the complex administrative and oganizational contexts within which the administrators of public service make and implement decisions; and to provide general technical competence in using the tools of public administration and information management. Dr. William N. Thompson was appointed by WBTI as Fellow and Director of its Public Administration Institution (PAI) on January 18, 2000. "It has been an honorable gratifying to invite a famous professor of Dr. Bill Thompson's expertise, integrity, and good personal traits with highly international perspective to this Institute," Said President Dr. Tony Lei of WBTI on January 21, 2000. "Throughout Dr. Thompson's distinguished career and publication, he has been earned a good reputation as a conscientious and dedicated professional." On March 3, 2000, Dr. Roy J. Adamson was appointed Fellow of PAI. "It's our gratifying honor to have Dr. Adamson, a famous Emeritus Professor from Pepperdine University to join us as one of our faculty member. The fellowship of Dr. Adamson with both of his expertise and integrity has brought PAI the milestone to an interstate research institution in the United States," said Dr. Tony Lei. Nancy A. Becker was appointed by WBTI as Fellow of PAI on May 2, 2000. Nancy received her Juris Doctorate degree from George Washington University National Law Center in 1979. She is now a Justice of Nevada Supreme Court. She is the recipient of numerous honors. "It's our honor to invite a famous person of Justice Nancy Becker's excellenct caliber whose expertise, integrity, and good personal traits will bring this Institute wih a perspective of millennium," said Dr. Tony Lei on May 18, 2000. "Throughout her distinguished career, she has accomplished a great deal of judicial practices together with social services and has earned a good reputation of conscientious and dedicated professionalism." As a born-again Christian, people had been inspired by U. S. Senator-elect John Ensign's sincerity, humanility, and credibility more than just his wealth and good looks in last November. In view of his admirable qualities, achievements, passion, and unshakable belief in building a better Nevada, WBTI led by Dr. Tony Lei, a fellow sincere believer, honored him as Advisor and Vice Chairman of its Advisory Board on November 8, 2000. "It's a very prestigious honor to be appointed by WBTI as an Associate Fellow of PAI. WBTI is a very well respected and integral part of this community. I'm grateful to be joining such a distinguished panel of professionals who are committed to improving the lives of our citizens in this community.

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. 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 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 for me 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 guaidance. I am also fortunate to have met you and your wife, Judy, because you are both active and dynamic individuals in the community. Your accomplishment and achievement 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." "Even with the constancy of his presidential responsblities, Tony ( Dr. Tony Lei ) carved out time and energy during the past three years with wisdom and knowledge through the cooperation of Dr. William Thompson to create the blueprint for the Institution that ultimately paved the way for the 2000 openning of our Public Administration Institution (PAI) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI)," said Justice of the Supreme Court Nancy Becker for "Nevada Examiner " on June 30, 2000. "Public Administraton Institution of WBTI has played the role as a private NPO (Non Pofit Organization) to promote the study and research of public administration and strategy for social and public benefit. With the effort of the Faculty and under the brilliant leadership of Dr. Tony Lei, WBTI has accomplished a valuable contribution to the academic research and community service for Nevada. We share a great deal of honor also as what the Justice of the Supreme Court Nancy Becker does for her prestige as a PAI Fellow. Her participation in this Institution will enrich and enhance its academic production featured with practicality and adaptability as an efficient 'intelligent Tank' through her excellent and fruitful public administration experience and contribution," said the President of Seniors United Lillian Wallace on "Nevada Examiner" in May 9, 2000. "Thank you very much for showing your faith in me as evidenced by your nomination. It is indeed an honor for me to be nominated by you and to become a Fellow of Public Administration Institution of Washington Business and Technology Institute. This position will undoubtedly provide me with avenues for exploring improvements in public services to which I am most dedicated. I look forward to working together with you in these endeavors," wrote the District Judge Valorie Vega to Dr. Tony Lei from her Office of the Eightth Judicial Distict Court at the Clark County Courthouse on May 22, 2000. "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. You dedication is a wonderful example of what others should strive to accomplish," wrote Judge Natalie Tyrrell to Dr. Tony Lei. "WBTI has built a sound foundation with its excellent and achieved faculty members. We've been encouraged to better our endeavor for we've Dr. Kenny Guinn, Governor of Nevada as our Chairman of the Advisory Board; U. S. Senators Harry Reid and John Ensign as Vice Chairmen; and U. S. Congress Representatives James Gibbons and Shelley Berkley, and Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman as Executive Advisors," Judge Natalie Tyrrell said. With his expertise and integrity as a famous professor of management achieved in writing college text books of management, presenting research papers to renowned international conferences, and leading academic institution by the name of WBTI, Dr. Tony Lei has enjoyed the distinctive mission with philanthropy to realize the good purposes and creeds of an organization through his many years accomplishments of knowledge, talents, and experiences on effective management and educational technology in balance of theoreticality and practicality. As Dr. Tony Lei is one of the person who glorify and thank the Almighty the most, we trust that God will be with those who honor Him. "Your strength as a leader was apparent during our conversation. It is comforting to know that individuals such as yourself are utilizing their talents in an effort to better our community," stated Las Vegas Councilwoman Lynette McDonald in her letter from her Office in the City of Las Vegas to Dr. Tony Lei. "Our greatest asset at WBTI is our people__not facades or fountains, not landscapes or lakescapes, but people-- faculty, advisory board members, administration, and a host of friends," said Dr. Tony Lei.

Moreover, because of the popular building of radio communication networks, wireless techniques may access important information from the web and condense it to be appeared on the small web connecting machines such as a hand-held screen. The open free software LINUX operating system can even connect various stations very easilly.

As sappy as that sounds --- and it sounds like a gurgling vat of maple syrup --- it's the basis of all successful professional relationships," wrote Rosanne Badowski.*1 The Titus 2:7-8 of Bible tells us that, "In everything set ...an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemmed."*2 In meeting with the large and growing population of public employees in the states of Asia and Nevada, Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) will open its training programs for the increasing graduate study and research needs of professional public administrators. To emphasize the balance of the practicality and theoraticality of the programs, the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of WBTI has supported by many high-ranking officials of Nevada in offering their times, experiences, and knowledge to teach at an honorary or adjunct capacity.*3 "Through the recommendations by our several faculty members including District Judge Valorie Vega, Ms. Jackie Glass has been appointed Adjunct Associate Professor of the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) on March 9, 2004," announced Dr. John Wang, Spokesman of WBTI, on March 10, 2004 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Following the spirit of entrepreneurship, Jackie Glass has always been willing to take a challenge head on. Now she is on her challenge! While still in high school, Jackie worked as a waitress to help buy her school supplies and school clothes. When she decided to attend the University of Georgia, she continued as a waitress and worked her way through college. She took on extracurricular assignments, and earned a degree in journalism. Her journalism career brought Jackie to Las Vegas in 1978 where she began as a radio news reporter. She moved quickly to television and served as both a morning anchor and crime beat reporter. As she followed the course of the trials she covered, she watched attorneys in action, and knew she could do as well. A new challenge lay before her. Once again, she worked her way through college, graduating from the University of San Diego School of Law. In 1984, Jackie passed the Nevada Bar exam before graduation, received her Juris Doctor Degree,*4 was admitted to the Nevada Bar, and married her husband, Steve Wolfson. With her husband, Jackie worked to build their successful law practice while helping at her daughters' school, chaperoning field trips to Washington, DC, supporting the Girl Scouts and projects such as Nevada Reading Week. On the professional side, Jackie has lectured at the UNLV Boyd School of Law, spoke on law topics at local high schools, and appeared on the KLVX show, "Law for the Layman". She has devoted years as a hearing master to juvenile, domestic and paternity issues as well as criminal law. She credits her seventeen years of legal experience and her work as a journalist on the crime beat for giving her an insight for the law, the role of the judiciary, the needs of victims, and for ways to make our system work better. She served as a member of the Las Vegas Housing Authority Board and spent six years as a Board Member of the Senior Citizens Law Project. As a District Court Judge of Department 5, Nevada, Jackie Glass is part of a new generation involved with her family, her profession and her community to make a difference for all of us here in our Silver State. People with integrity live with clear consciences. "To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice," stated in the Proverbs 21:3 of Bible.*5 "I agree with Judge Valorie Vega's idea to be honored as a Fellow of the Public Administration Institution (PAI) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI). She wrote: 'It will undoubtedly provide me with avenuess for exploring improvements in public services to which I am most dedicated.' I'm glad also to share the similar position as its faculty member--- Obligatory Legal Counselor of Pan Pacific and Asian American Forum (PPAAF). "It's significant. Dr. Tony Lei told me that for community service --- that based on 'love in action is service above self' --- the abundanct reward from one's humune love, spiritual excellence, and professionalism of expertise are far more greater than solely his or her title," said Jackie Glass, Esq. on April 18, 2002. Jackie is now a famous District Judge of Nevada.*6 On March 9, 2004 at the Event and Dinner Party held by the Asian American Community for Ms. Ellen Knowlton, Special Agent in Charge, FBI, as the Speaker; Jackie was very pleased to learn from Dr. Tony Lei, President of WBTI, that she was challenged with a teaching professionalism in the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration of WBTI for our community at an adjucnt capacity.*7 "As a bridge between the business and university, the integrity of community service and academic research of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) will help Nevada go advance for the cooperation and development in education, business, and culture among international countries. As an Adjunct Associate Professor of the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of WBTI, it's my pleasure to extend my knowledge, experience, and professionalism in public service for community and education at the adjunct capacity,"*8 said Jackie Glass, District Judge of Nevada, at the event and dinner party by Unity Council of Nevada in Lindo Michoacan Mexican Restaurant on April 28, 2004 in Las Vegas.*9 --------------------------------------------- References *1.

A welcome and celebration dinner party held by Chairperson Charlyne Chen (陳思庭) of International Cities Business Council in Las Vegas By Valerie Weber and Tiffany ChangGovernor 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.*1 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 (China). 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.*2 "I can't overstate the significance of China's potential as a visitor market for Nevada," Lt. Governor Hunt said. "I found modern cities rife with elements of Western culture such as Starbucks Coffee, MTV, the Rat Pack-era music of Frank Sinatra, etc. Up to 10 percent of the country's approximately 1.4 billion residents can now afford to travel overseas, which has positioned China as Nevada's "newest and most-modern market" for tourism." On May 18, 2000 Lt. Governor Lorriane Hunt of Nevada led a delegation from Nevada to Taipei of the Republic of China. "This is important to Nevada in areas beyond just our tourism industry. Taiwan enjoys a growing economy with considerable technological advancement and as such, they are one of the world's top 15 trading nations. And with Nevada's total exports exceeding one billion dollars in 1999 alone, our local businesses stand to benefit as the Taiwanese market continues to prosper and expand," Lt. Governor of Nevada Hunt pointed out in Taipei.*3 "The Nevada Commission on Tourism believes it is vital to establish a presence in Taiwan in order to represent our tourism destinations to this emerging world travel market. Taiwan's capital, Taipei, has a working population of four million, with a youthful, technologically oriented work force. There is tremendous potential for building tourism among this sector," said Hunt.*4 "Similar to the new direction of the government in Taiwan, we are seeking new horizons for the economy of Nevada. Building mutally beneficial relationships with Taiwan, and other foreign countries, will create the demand for direct, regularly scheduled flights. Our work will help Nevada establish contacts for lucrative business and convention visitors from around the world that will form the foundation for a new pillar in the Nevada economy."*5 Las Vegas, Nevada, Representative Offices to Taiwan and Shanghai of Nevada Commission on Economic Development, and Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) extend their heartily welcome to the business, tourism, and investment from Asian countires to boom the tourism and ecomomy of this silver state. In anticipation of the potential for increased tourism in Penghu, Taiwan, at least one Nevada casino enterprise has already purchase a significant piece of property in Penghu. At the request of Charlyne Chen (陳思庭), NCED has contacted several Nevada cities about establishing a sister-city relationship with Penghu. A Team of delegation organized by the high-ranking officials of Penghu will come to Las Vegas in September 4, 2005 for further plan in tourism and business cooperation and development.*6 In order to build an association among important cities nationally and internationally for: (1) Mutual cooperation and development of business, trade, and tourism; (2) Social and public relations among business and professionals; and (3) Event and dinner parties for our community in an atmosphere of friendly and mutual cooperation.

Dr. Tony Lei initiated to hold event and dinner party to pay a spcial tribute to the judicial professionals through elections in Nevada. Justice Nancy Becker was the first one selected by him to pay a tribute. A successful event and dinner party was held for her on May 23, 2001 at Harbor Palace Restaurant in Las Vegas. It was chaired by Dr. Tony Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI); Theresa Malone, Member of Nevada State Board of Education; Dr. R. D. Prabhu, Chairperson of CAN-DO; and Dr. Joey Villaflor, Member of Nevada Board of Health. We the Asian American communities have continuously achieved the efforts for other judicial professionals since then. "To dedicate to the creed of Washington Business and Technology Institute, it's my challenge as an Associate Fellow of it's Public Administration Institution (PAI) to endeavor with all the intellectuals of this Institute to improve the quality of life of the people of Nevada," said Jennifer Togliatti at the Dinner Party on May 17, 2002.

"I can't help thinking about Justice Myron Leavitt, our long time Asian American friend of Nevada, who died so unexpectedly. This brings to my mind the urgency of our times in Las Vegas. We note the vanishing of many heroes that built the world of Nevada after 1963. We recognize that the best way to honor those who have gone before us is to rise up and find the greatness in our own lives, the strength of charater, the vision and courage, the determination and selflessness to address the challenges that still lay before us," says Dr. Tony Lei, President of WBTI, for the Event and Dinner Party held by the Asian American Community of Nevada on February 4, 2004 in Las Vegas. Asian American Community has won recognition for contribution to Nevada by the American Mainstream. The main reason for this recognition is the great and cooperative wisdom and effort that we the Asian American communities have continuously participated and offered to the mainstream society in Nevada.*16 -------------------------------- References *1.

Leavitt served as a Clark County District Court Judge for 15 years before winning a Supreme Court position as one of its Justice in 1998.*15 The late Myron Leavitt is honored as a Memorial Fellow of the Public Administration Institution (PAI) of Washingoton Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) on February 4, 2004. "I can't help thinking about Justice Myron Leavitt, our long time Asian American friend of Nevada, who died so unexpectedly. This brings to my mind the urgency of our times in Las Vegas. We note the vanishing of many heroes that built the world of Nevada after 1963. We recognize that the best way to honor those who have gone before us is to rise up and find the greatness in our own lives, the strength of charater, the vision and courage, the determination and selflessness to address the challenges that still lay before us," says Dr. Tony Lei, President of WBTI, for the Event and Dinner Party held by the Asian American Community of Nevada on February 4, 2004 in Las Vegas. Asian American Community has won recognition for contribution to Nevada by the American Mainstream. The main reason for this recognition is the great and cooperative wisdom and effort that we the Asian American communities have continuously participated and offered to the mainstream society in Nevada.*16 -------------------------------- References *1.

By John Lei*1 Dear Dad, Happy Fathers Day! I would like to sincerely thank you for the many years you invested in me as my father and mentor. I appreciate your love for our family and your diligence and efforts to provide for our needs. I pray that God grant you a fabulous day to celebrate this special occasion. You deserve the highest honor and admiration for being a great Dad!*2 I have clearly seen confirmations that the Spirit of God touched your heart in the past year. God truly has answered our prayers. I often give praise and thanks to our Lord for your transformation and share this wonderful testimony with people around me. Please continue to spend time with Mom to pray and read the Bible together. I am very proud that you are my father. You are a family and community leader who is intelligent, productive, focused, visionary, admirable and successful. You have impacted many lives in positive ways, including Mom, Mike and myself. Mere words cannot adequately explain your influence and accomplishments. Besides the many books you have written, your Presidency in the Washington Business & Technology Institute, Professorship in Taiwan, Doctoral degree, numerous governmental awards/honors, and contribution to the community, you have successfully held our family together and raised two God-serving sons. Congratulations! God has really blessed us through you, from our humble beginnings at the old Pepperdine campus to His abundant provisions to our family today. I will always remember the times you encourage me to study hard and get good grades. You also supported me to pursue a business-related career. I am very thankful since I know your caring played a role in me obtaining the good job I have right now. I will also always remember your prayers to God during my last trip home. Your prayers are sincere, personal, heart-felt -- truly like you are having a conversation with God. I want to learn from that. Our family now is getting closer and closer together. There is nothing better than all four of us praying, studying the Bible, and go to church together in one heart. Even though this is a simple letter, I hope it will bring you happiness. I will leave you with these words of blessings from Bible: The righteous man leads a blameless life, blessed are his children after him Proverbs 20:7 I love you, Dad. Happy Fathers Day! Your loving son,*3 John --------------------------------------------- References *1.

Revised 031405 --------------------------------------------- Assembly Concurrent Resolution 25 Presented by Valerie E Weber Clark County District 5 April 28, 2005 Taiwan and its people hold a special place in my heart. I was invited like so many (at least 20 over the years) from both of our houses in the Legislature and from the Executive branch to visit Taiwan. In October 2003, I was part of an eight member delegation lead by our colleague from District 41. Before our plane left for those long hours in the air, we were met at the San Francisco Airport by our hosts from the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in SF who made our arrangements. Our seven day journey included meeting with high ranking officials in the Executive Yuan including the Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Mainland Affairs. We met with the Vice-President, (Mrs) Miss Annette Lu (who is Harvard educated). We heard an address by President Chen at the annual Double 10 celebration along with viewing its fabulous pageantry; we even visited the Legislative Yuan and watched a debate on the floor. On the cultural side, we toured Taipei, Taiwans capital city on this miracle green island of 23M citizens; we were treated to a plane trip to Haulien, known for its gorgeous marble and visited the breathtaking Taroko Gorge, one of their many national parks. Our hosts in Taipei, including Charlyne Chen from the NV Economic Development office located in the Taipai World Trade Center arranged for us to meet with businessmen and women to discuss various issues business issues, to tour a state-of-the-art software park, and to explore the Taipai World Trade Center; it was non stop, action packed and we ate until we couldnt breathe! The entire trip was first class. In summary, I am grateful for these new friends I made while visiting Taiwan, Republic of China and their love of democracy, prosperity and peace. Some day I hope to return to see continuation of their economic development and see other beautiful parts of the island including a tour of the gorgeous Penghu Islands on the west side of Taiwan. I urge my colleagues support of this resolution. Mr Speaker, may I present to our house at this time to receive these resolutions our very special guests, the new incoming Director General, Mr Mark Liao and Consular Officer, Ms Jenny Kuo. Please accept these resolutions in appreciation of our thanks and for a long continuing friendship. Please feel welcomed in our house. --------------------------------------------- BRIEF REMARKS REGARDING DIRECTORS GENERAL FOR TAIWAN IN SAN FRANCISCO APRIL 28, 2005 AS THE RESOLUTION INDICATED, DIRECTOR GENERAL MATTHEW LEE HAS EFFECTIVELY OVERSEEN THE OPERATIONS OF THE TAIPEI ECONOMIC AND CULTURAL OFFICE IN SAN FRANCISCO.

W54704 ********************************************* Second printing of the first edition (with correction of one typing mistake confirmed by Miss Cassandra Cheung) on June 10, 2005 [061005-7667] My trip to HK is sort of like Sex and the City By Cassandra Cheung*1 ON LOCATION: HK, summer of 2005 My trip to HK is sort of like Sex and the City combined with 4 weddings & a funeral.*2 I was born and raised in HK. March 2005 was a very intense month for me. However, God turn the disaster into my advantage. There are people to see and family matter to take care of. Finally I have time to accomplish them all. Chee, my best friend who works for HK Times and Fuzi, my big brothers college friend who married to an Italian jeweler, are my unofficial social directors in HK. Every morning I either had breakfast prepared by my aunt or had dim-sum with my uncle. The rest of the day, I got to explore the City with 2 trendy, independent, and professional women. So, what to do and where to go when the HK weather was hot and drizzling thru out the day? A lot because the Smart Card can take you everywhere! To name a few as follows: Admiralty Centre /Time Square, there is this one-of- a-kind Chinese restaurant that serves unique northern style cuisine. The dcor is a mix of modern oriental with Euro furnishing. Food is excellent and there are 5 well-trained servers stand-by all time. Luk Yu Tea House on Stanley Street off Theatre Lane, is the Whos Who place where PLU (people-like-us) are often turned away because they do not take new customers. Fortunately, Billy (Chees former associate) is a regular and has his own table so we got to enjoy the old charm tea house 3 times in a role. We even made it our routine to browse around the closed by Shanghai Tang Tailor Shop where we could take a tea break served by Ah Ma (old-fashion servant) and glanced at the movie stars trying out their ready-made. Then, the Secret Society Hideout where is for members only. My favorite is Chinese Tee Club in Central District. Overlooking those commercial buildings and having our high tea while we were served by professional butlers in a Casablanca surrounding. Imagine those multimillion dollars business deals were in the making at the moment. So much for high tea, lets talk about lunch in the very exclusive HK Jockey Club, Happy Valley. A family friend took me there for Chinese dim-sum along with his 83 years old mother who lives in a mansion on Jardin Hill. The food was excellent. I found out later that the Club had an award winning world famous chef. The first time I met Chees boyfriend was at the Foreign Correspondents Club. The menu is a combination of traditional Chinese and 50s American. After the doorman let us in, the manager asked us to show our membership card prior to be seated. Similar to all other private clubs, they are computer accessible in the dining room hallway. Down below is a cozy jazz club. Of course, we just had to drop by for some fine music. Among all these private clubs, my least favorite was the Charter Club where Fuzi picked out for her college reunion. All dishes were tasteless and there was a long wait in between them. The dinner was a disappointment but the company was fun. Afterwards Marco, Fuzis husband, treated us saki in Lan Kwai Fong. None of us was driving that night so we emptied out several big bottles and laughed till the end of dawn inside the private room. Since Fuzi is a fashion police and Chee is a high tea frantic, we spent days window shopping and had high tea in Causeway Bay, Cheung Chau, Soho, Repulse Bay, and Clear Water Bay. One final note, those people that my late mother asked me to contact and I did. I also met up with a special long time friend, Frank. All IN all, you can say that this trip is mission accomplished.*3 --------------------------------------------- References *1.
