It is valuable that WBTI used to post the following as a reference in its articles: "One sea is flesh. Fish live in it. Trees and bushes grow near it. Children splash and paly in it. The river Jordan flows into this sea with sparkling water from the hills. People build their homes near it. Every kind of life is happier because it is there. The same river Jordan flows south into another sea. Here there are no fish, no green things, no children playing, no homes a building. Stale air hangs above its waters, and neither man nor beast will drink of it. What makes the difference between these neighbor seas? Not the Jordan River. It empties the same good water into both. Nor is the soil or the countryside.
The differnece is that the Sea of Galilee receives water but does not keep it. For every drop that flows in, another drop flows out. The giving and receiving go on in equal measure. The other sea hoards its income. Every drop it gets it keeps. The Sea of Galilee lives and lives. The other sea gives nothing. It is called the Dead Sea.
There are also two kinds of people in this world---those Dead Sea people who take without giving back, and the givers who remain fresh and vibrant by freely sharing of themselves."

"Dear Dr. Lei, I have read the wonderful article below and have learned so much about what is going on in our local community as well as world wide. There are so many important people who do good things for the community, and they should be commended for all of their efforts. I am highly impressed that you have so many friends and colleagues who communicate with you about their projects and activities for the betterment of society, including our Asian community. Best wishes," pointed out Cheryl Moss, District Court Judge of Nevada.*2

Through a search of "Michael Douglas: Igniting the city through the cooperation and development with our expertise, integrity, and professionalism is on the way!" on the Yahoo.com or "Michael Douglas: Igniting the city wbti" on the Google.com, we can find the article.*3

Challenging your work force can add to productivity, but productivity needs also cooperation. In a team work, harmony is very importnat. Sometime, a good leader is the one who leads us to a goal with a group performance in harmony.

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

***** It is amazing how much people can get done if they do not worry aout who gets the credit. ---Sandra Swinney
***** No man can be rich withot himself enriching others. ---Andrew Carnegie
***** I rate enthusiasm even above professional skill. ---Sir Edward Appleton
***** Enthusiam moves the world. ---J. Balfour
***** Ingenuity, plus courage, plus work, equals miracles. ---Bob Richards

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

During a rehearsal at th Metropolitan Opera House in New York City, the great Italian conductor Arturo Toscanini offered a few words of constructive criticism to featureed soloist.
The Soloist, too proud to accept help, expressed her anger by exploding, "I am the star of this peroformance!" Toscanini responded calmly but with firm conviction. "Madam," he said, "in this performance there are no stars!"
All, from the greast to humblest, must work
together in harmony and devotion. We can
make no advances with only solo work.
Unless the solooists and the members of the
chorus are ready to work together in
harmony, there can be no symphony.
---Jackson Wilcox *4

Getting along in this world depends a lot on getting along with others. G. M. Verity told us that, "Cooperation is spelled with two letters -- WE.*5

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. 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.*6

To win the popularity for an individual in a role to serve our communities of the world, we need also publications in English to empower the ones in Asian languages. "For some Asian country to increase the enhance of its 'International Visibility and Popularity', did the powerful authorities ever interest sufficiently much in the brilliance of leading search engines on the Internet?" chatted some of the faculty members of PAI. We are quite inspired by the words of wisdom as said by Alan Loy McGinnis that, "There is no more noble occupation in the world than to assist another human being--to help someone succeed." Vision with enthusiasm may help bring us with hope to serve our people, communities, and world!*7

Nevada Lt. Governor Brian Krolicki has Olympian vision for state tourism! Innovation is advanced by the "creating" through the "refining".

"Nevada's lieutenant governor-elect has international goals for the state's No. 1 industry, including pursuing the 2018 Olympic Winter Games and attracting travelers from China and India. Facing one of the largest audiences of Nevada tourism professionals, Treasurer Brian Krolicki, said Tuesday at the governor's conference on tourism, that putting Nevada in the running for the winter games will spur economic growth in the future. It has worked in the past," wrote Becky Bosshart.*1

"The 1960 Olympics helped to put Reno and Tahoe on the map," he said to conference participants at the Silver Legacy Casino Resort. "We want this world-class event to come here again. Some people say it's a long shot. But in tourism, we do long shots. Our efforts next year and thereafter will be seeds sown for a future harvest." *2 "Taking the second highest office in state government, Krolicki will also chair the Nevada Commission on Tourism and the Nevada Commission on Economic Development, organizations that attract and retain businesses and market the state's lucrative tourism industry. He follows Lt. Gov. Lorraine Hunt into the positions. Hunt said she is passing on a strong tourism economy that derives $40 billion a year. Tourism officials recently visited India to develop tourism ties. India's middle class is about the size of the U.S. population, 300 million."

Lt. Governor of Nevada Brian Krolicki is Chairman of both the Nevada Commission on Tourism (NCOT) and the Nevada Commission on Economic Development (NCED) since early this year. The experienced and achieved former Nevada Lt. Governor Lorraine T. Hunt-Bono is favored by both Governor Jim Gibbons and Lt. Governor Krolicki as an important Commissioner of the NCOT.

Dear Fellow Nevadan,

This week is National Police Week. During National Police Week we pay tribute to the brave men and women who serve the U.S. as law enforcement officers and take note of their selfless dedication to keeping our communities safe. Last week, peace officers from across the nation traveled to Washington to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice and given their lives in the line of duty. This year, two of the names that were added to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial belong to law enforcement officers from Nevada: Nye County Deputy Ian Michael Deutch and Nevada Department of Corrections officer Sergeant Vincent Tyrone Tatum.

Last April, 27 year old Ian Michael Deutch was shot and killed while investigating a domestic disturbance call in Pahrump, Nevada. When the deputies arrived, the suspect opened fire on them with a high powered rifle. Deputy Deutch was struck three times in the abdomen and the bullets penetrated his bullet-proof vest. Sadly, Deputy Deutch had just survived a yearlong deployment in Afghanistan with the Nevada Army National Guard and was shot and killed on his second day back to work with the Nye County Sheriff~{!/~}s Office. He is survived by his wife Vicky, son Jonathon, daughter Savonya, his parents, his two brothers and his sister. Deputy Deutch~{!/~}s life of public service was tragically cut short, but we honor his sacrifice and know that he will serve as an example of selfless service for generations to come.

In 1982, Sergeant Vincent Tyrone Tatum was abducted, beaten and shot four times in the head after he finished his shift at the Southern Desert Correctional Center. He had been conducting an internal investigation involving contraband being smuggled into a Southern Nevada correctional facility by employees, and it is believed he was murdered to hinder the investigation. The murder of Sergeant Tatum is a stark reminder of what law enforcement officers risk day in and day out, and we are grateful for his sacrifice.

Police week is held once a year, but we should remember the important and often dangerous work our public safety officers perform every day. America could not exist without them, and I am grateful for all they do. This year we honor those courageous Nevadans, and reflect on the sacrifices made by all law enforcement officers every day. We will never forget what they do for our communities, and we will forever be indebted to them for their dedication and service.

Thank you for reading.

Changes to Iranian Student Visa Validity

Press Statement
Hillary Rodham Clinton
Secretary of StateWashington, DC

May 20, 2011

A video message is available here:
[http://video.state.gov/en/video/952172201001] & [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlmeewemk2g])

A Farsi version is available here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rytZFOlOAWI

I am very pleased to announce a big step forward in the Obama Administration~{!/~}s support of the Iranian people.

Under our old visa policy, Iranian students and exchange visitors were eligible for visas that lasted for only three months and could be used to enter the country just one time. As of today, that has changed. They are now eligible for two-year, multiple entry visas.

This gives young Iranians the opportunity to return home for family events, to participate in internships, to travel outside the United States~{!*~}and they won~{!/~}t need to get a new visa every time.

I~{!/~}ve heard from many Iranian students and Iranian Americans that you wanted this change. So I want you to know that we are listening to your concerns. We want more dialogue and more exchange with those of you who are shaping Iran's future. We want to be able to share with you what we think is great about America.

Because as long as the Iranian government continues to stifle your potential, we will stand with you. We will support your aspirations, and your rights. And we will continue to look for new ways to fuel more opportunities for real change in Iran. Thank you.
