The Grand Canyon Trip --- Mike Lei* # (12/28/2001)

A family road trip is always fun and a good time to bond. This year, the South Rim of the Grand Canyon sounds like a good destination. Our family last went to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon five years ago. We all remembered that as a great trip. We haven't had a family trip like that since then. Four years ago, I went to work in Dallas. My brother John went to work in San Jose two years ago. This time, both of us planned to be home for Christmas week. I reserved the Best Western Grand Canyon Squire Inn for Dec. 26-27th. We would make this a 3 days, 2 nights trip. Not too long and not too short.

The day we left for the trip is a nice day. It was sunny and not too cold. After eating a big lunch, we started towards Arizona. There were some congestions at the Hoover Dam. The opposite traffic was worse. The backup extended for miles. This is due to the "holiday traffic". We felt sorry for the motorist who were stuck in the long line. We managed to get to the hotel by 8pm. It was already dark. Our dinner consists of Ramen cup noodles and Chinese stew eggs, which we all enjoyed very much after all the big meals we've had during Christmas. We prayed and thanked God for the meal. We talked about God's grace to our family this year.

The next day, we ate breakfast and drove to the entrance of the park. The day was beautiful. It wasn't too windy. It was sunny and warm by winter standards. We decided to go to as many scenic spots as we could. We planned to hike in the afternoon. As I walked to the points that overlook the familiar Grand Canyon, I took in the breathtaking views. The views were the same as the pictures I've seen in magazines and calendars, except now they are like a huge 3-D canvas spread out in front of me. I gazed at the rock formations, the red colors, the flat top, and the way the canyon was carved to give it the chiseled look. No matter how hard I looked, it was not enough to take in all of the details at once. The formations were like hand crafted palaces for some ancient civilization.

The grounds at the view points still have some ice and snow, so we were very careful when walking on the rocks. Even though both my brother and I are adults now, my Dad's fatherly instincts told him to warn us against walking too close to the edge. He made an interesting comment while looking at one icy boulder where we were standing. He said one accidental slip on the icy rock and you can slide all the way to heaven. I thought that was a pretty funny way to look at the situation. Death can mean going to heaven or hell. But I guess it's better to think about heaven in such a case. We saw signs that warned tourists not to hike in certain places. One place where we saw the sign was on a steep place about 20 feet down from the railing. My brother pointed to me that if a person is close enough to be where the sign is, it's probably too late.

I walked to a pavilion with telescopes that looked into the Canyon. There was a bronze inscription on a rock. The inscription is from Psalm 68:4. "Sing to God, sing praise to his name, extol him who rides on the clouds-his name is the LORD-and rejoice before him." Whoever put that inscription there must know that such natural beauty can only be the work of God.

The trails were still icy in some places. We choose the Kaibab trails to hike. We gingerly stepped down on the steep icy trail. I'm usually very confident on trails, but the icy ground made me take every step cautiously. One misstep can be hazardous. We found 2 walking sticks. We slowly made our way down the steep trail. The canyon side casts a shadow on the path where the ice did not melt. But where the sun can shine, we walked on muddy, not icy grounds. We only made it to a rocky outlook, where both my brother and I climbed to the top of a ledge that overlooks the Canyon. It was a pretty dizzying sight, so I didn't look down much. A picture is enough. I thought my eyes were closed on the first picture, so I told my brother to take a second picture. I wanted to make sure my risk taking resulted in at least one good picture. Going back up was not as dangerous. Falling on your face or hands is better than falling and rolling over the edge of a cliff. We found others who went down further and who seemed much more tired than us as we hiked up.

That night, we went to the evening program in the park. The slide show is on "How the Grand Canyon Came to be". The slides were presented by a park ranger who has been there for 20 years and who had much knowledge about geology and the Grand Canyon. His talk was interesting and funny. He even showed us a cheesecake he made as an illustration of how the Canyon is like a layered cake. I didn't take notes like a good student. I will try my best to remember what he said. The five ingredients which make the Grand Canyon are 2 types of rocks, the Colorado River, upward thrust of the earth plates, and time. The ranger told the audience that he just wants us to remember 4 words to tell people when they ask us what is the Grand Canyon. "Enormous proportions, magnificent beauty". If we can't remember these 4 words, he offered a simpler version. "Large pretty". According to him, the Grand Canyon is the only canyon on earth and in the solar system which boasts both size and beauty. Even the huge canyon on Mars can't compare to the Grand Canyon because people standing on one side of the canyon can't see the other side because of the long distance. The Grand Canyon is 277 miles long. In some places, it is 1 mile deep and 10 miles wide. And it is all inside the state of Arizona.

Our Dad chose to stay in the hotel instead of going to the evening program. I suggested he spends the time reading the Book of Ecclesiastes. When we came back, he showed us his summary of the book: "The accomplishments of man must be because he loves God." I was pretty impressed by his exegesis of the book and the whole night we had a good discussion on spiritual things. This trip is turning out to be mentally, physically, and spiritually refreshing to the whole family.

The last day was more windy. Good thing we hiked the day before. We were glad how good the weather had been. We went to the park in the morning and left after noon. My brother and I want to make it back for the evening youth service at the Living Word Christian Church. Usually family trips include some mishaps. We almost had one when my brother saw the gas gauge almost empty. The next town was still 14 miles away. Fortunately, we found a gas station in between.

I have seen the magnificence of the South Rim Grand Canyon, but most importantly I'm awed again by the beauty of nature created by God and the good times God can bring to a family. Everything seems to work out perfectly on this trip. Even the traffic on the trip back was pretty smooth and could have been much worse, as we saw on the other side. The whole family is very grateful for the wonderful trip, which we all felt were especially blessed by God.

By Tiffany Chang

A distiguished group of professors and consultants joined corporate human resource professionals to discuss wide-ranging issues in leadership development at The Graziadio School's second annual Executive Learning Forum in Pepperdine University. The event was created and facilitated by Dr. Robert Fulmer, Virtue Professor of Management at The Graziadio School. It was held at the Malibu Campus of Pepperdine Univesity on March 16-17, 2001.
The Forum has faciliated the "real-world" management practice for the School's MBA programs. One of them is designed for experienced managers, while the other is designed for presidents and key executives (MBA/PKE).
"One of the Graziado School's core is its ability to successfully address the unique challenges of executive learning. This forum is an important part of an effort to extend Pepperdine's reputation and recognition in this arena. It provides an opportunity for world-class thought leaders in knowledge creation, knowledge dissemination, and knowledge utilization to come together in an informal setting to discuss the key challenges of executive learning and leadership development ," said Dr. Robert Fulner.*1
The program of MBA/PKE is made available exclusively to executives in senior management positions and to entrepreneurs. This is an integrative academic program of professional education directed toward substantial gains in executive competence. The Forum may become a creative design as a mentor for lauching the program locally, nationally, and internationally.
Professor Fulmer opened the forum by asking participants to share what major insights or learning they had acqires during the past year along with the changes that had impacted their industries since the previous year's forum. For many, technology and the impact of Web-based intelligence had been instrumants of change. Other participants note challenges due to mergers and organizational changes.
The participans of the Forum included: Nancy Adler, McGill University professor and author; John Alexander, president of the Center for Creative Leadership; Doug Anderson, founder and managing partner of the Center for Executive Development; Jay Conger, professor of leadership at The London Business School and the University of Southern California; Linda Doyle, president and CEO of Havard Business School Publishing; Bob Fogel, president of Harvard Business School Interactive; John Humphrey, chairman of the Forum Corporation; Marshall Sashkin, author and George Washington University professor; Edgar Schein, MIT professor, author, and leadership consultant; Steve Stumpf, author, professor, and former dean of professional development at Booz Allen Hamiton. The Graziadio School was represented by its Dean Otis Baskin and eight faculty members.
Questions such as "What are the new partnership that we need to create, and how can these be structured?" and "What would it be like if our work were truly important to the world?" were asked by him for the participants to give responses. These themes, woven throughout the forum, triggered lively exchanges among the panelists. At the conclusion, many were already anticipating the next forum.*2
"Rapidly accelerating change is the critical challenge in virtually every industry today. The complexities of our world demand managers and workers with dramatically increased capavilities. The Grsaziadio School has been developing value-center leaders for mor than a quater century. During that time, it has become the premier provider of quality business talent in California and the western United States." said Dr. Linda Livingstone*3 Dr. Livingstone has been the Dean of this School since June 1, 2002. She received her B.S., M.B.A., and Ph.D. from Oklahoma State University. Dr. Livingstone will bring an international perspective to Pepperdine University. She has helped develop and teach courses in an MBA program in Jinan, China. .
At the time of Dr. Linvingstone's appointment, Dr. Tony Lei wished her endeavor to lead the Graziadio School into this millennium with academic excellence, practicality expertise, and spiritual values. A special program of MBA/PKE designed for presidents and key executives internationally is in ugent need for the cooperation of the Graziadio School and WBTI. "The spirit of both innovation and pioneers has motivated America to be a leading and prosperous country in the world. As an integrative academic program of the professional education directed to substantial gains in executive competence, modern technology, innovative knowledge, and spirit of entrepreneurship; an unique feature of one week workshop in Las Vegas for the cooperated MBA/PKE Program should be designed for the Chinese speaking business executives and owners of the international world mainly from China, Taiwan, and Singapore" says President Dr. Tony Lei of Washington Business and Technology Institute.*4
"Thousands of men and women have chosen The George L. Graziadio School of Business and Management because of its distinctive blend of qualities. Many enroll in executive program, having already achieved position of senior leadership, but wanting to recapture that competitive edge and creativ fervor. It is the worldwide network of alumni that validates our extraordinary mission o f preparing good people to 'make big plans' and 'aimhigh in hope and work,'" said Dr. Andrew Benton, President of Pepperdine University.*5

Pepperdine University MBA ranks first
in 15 schools of California* By Mark Denton, Jessie Walsh, and Tiffany Chang

Recently, the Los Angeles Business Journal ranked and reported that Pepperdine University's Graziadio School of Business and Management was named "the pacesetter" in MBA education in Los Angeles County. The School retained top ranking ahead of USC's Marshall School of Business and The Anderson School at UCLA which placed second and third respectively.
As the market share leader in California, graduates of MBA annually from Graziadio School are more than any other school in the state. It is the sixth largest AACSB-accredited school in the United States. The success of this school should be credited to its fruitful efforts to delivering practical, results-oriented education that addresses the needs of working professionals and executives.
Dr. Tony Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI), is pleased to learn from the issue of "Media Relations" of the Pepperdine University's Graziadio School of Business and Management that Dr. Linda Livingstone has been named its Dean. Dr. Livinstone received her B.S., M.B.A., and Ph.D. from Oklahoma State University. She will assure her new responsibilities on June 1, 2002.
Dr. Livingstone will bring an international perspective to Pepperdine University. She has helped develop and teach courses in an MBA program in Jinan, China. She has expressed a keen interest in building additional bridges between Pepperdine MBA curriculum and the corporate world based on her prior experience in developing semester-long consulting projects with major companies for MBA students.
"Our Graziadio School is an outstanding business school with a national reputation. It is one of only a few schools across the country that has the potential to build a national and international reputation across all of its programs customized for executives, full-time, and fully employed students. And it is probably the only school with a faith-based mission committed to developing values-centered leaders that can accomplish this goal," said Dr. Livingstone.
On behalf of the faculty of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI), Dr. Tony Lei congratulates Dr. Linda Livingstone with best regards. He wishes the New Dean may lead the Graziadio School into this millennium with academic excellence, practicality expertise, and spiritual values. A special program of MBA/PKE designed for presidents and key executives internationally is in ugent need for the cooperation of the Graziadio School and WBTI. "The spirit of both innovation and pioneers has motivated America to be a leading and prosperous country in the world. As an integrative academic program of the professional education directed to substantial gains in executive competence, modern technology, innovative knowledge, and spirit of entrepreneurship; an unique feature of one week workshop in Las Vegas for the cooperated MBA/PKE Program should be designed for the Chinese speaking business executives and owners of the international world mainly from China, Taiwan, and Singapore" says Dr. Tony Lei.

Chief Justice Bill Maupin names Dr. Tony Lei as a 'Son of Nevada'
By Cheryl Moss, Jessie Walsh, and Tiffany Chang

It is not unusual here in Nevada to have an individual who always gives herself or himself to the work both for the people and in Lord, because she or he knows that her or his labor for the people and in Lord is not in vain. Whenever we do, work at it with all our heart, as working for the Lord, not solely for men, since we know that we will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward.
"WHEREAS, it is an honor and privileg for the Board of County Commissioners to recognize those extraordinary individuals, groups, or programs which enrich the lives of many in our community; and

He had been an Associate Professor of Information Management and a Fellow of Management of the Graduate School of Business Administration of National Chung Hsing University and Pepperdine University from 1985 to 1991 and 1991 to 1996, respectively.
Now, THEREFORE, WE, the Board of County Commissioners of Clark County, on this occasion, October 1, 2002, in celebration and recognition of his distingueshed professionalism and outstanding accomplishments, do hereby recognize and honor Dr. Tony T. Lei, Ed. D.
and urge all citizens to join us wishing him a succesful and bright future."
"The above Proclamation was signed by the Clark County Chairman Dario Herera, Vice-Chair Myrna Williams, Commissioners Yvonne Atkinson Gate, Marry Kincaid-
Chauncey, Chip Maxfield, Erin Kenny, Bruce L Woodbury, and attested by County Clerk Shirley B. Parraguirre. As a humble and sincere American Coolie (hardworking man) like him, Dr. Tony Lei has given freely of his time, energy, knowledge, and talents, working on projects and events that contribute to the quality of life in Nevada and has dedicated himself to public service to not only the Asian Community but to all citizens. It's my great pleasure to name Dr. Tony Lei as a Son of Nevada," said the Chief Justice of Nevada Supreme Court William Maupin at the Celebration Party to "Nevada Examiner" and "Reviewjournal.com" at the Steak House of Binion's Horseshoe Club, Las Vegas on October 10, 2002. The Party was held by WBTI to celebrate William Maupin's being appointed as its Fellow of the Public Administration Institution (PAI) and as its Honorary Chairman of the Clark County District Attorney and Police Civil Commission (CCDAPCC).
After the 911 last year, we need to encourage the launching of activities to promote and attract tourism, trade, and investment from foreign countries to Nevada by Dr. Tony Lei. He has been honored by Xiamen, Fukien, China; China Business Chain, Inc.; Shanghai People's Municipal Government Cooperation Office; and China State Development and Planning Commission as Chairman of Nevada Expo Mission to China to attend Sisters Universities Establishment Celebration; the Annual International Mayors for City Development Forum; and the Shanghai International Industrial Fair and Yangtze Investment Project Expo.

Berkley, Lt. Governor Lorraine Hunt, and Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman have been honored by WBTI as Honorary Chairpersons of our Nevada Expo Mission to China.
As the "Bible" inspired us that, "When God gives any man wealth and possesions, and enables him to enjoy them, to accept his lot and be happy in his work --- this is a gift of God." *

Senator Dina Titus* Appointed by WBTI
as a Fellow of Public Administration
By Cheryl Moss and Tiffany Chang

"Our greastest asset at Washington Business and Technology Institute (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 President Dr. Tony Lei of WBTI. "On the publications of WBTI through multimedia locally, nationally, and internationally, we have featured many of our own: U. S. Senators Harry Reid and John Ensign, U. S. Representatives James Gibbons and Shelley Berkley, Governor of Nevada Kenny Guinn, Pepperdine University President Andrew Benton, Chief Federal Judge Lloyed Geroge, Dr. Charles Runnels, Former Chief Justice and now Justice of the Nevada Supreme Court William Maupin, Dr. William Thompson, Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman, among others."
"Enriching our research and community service process were made possible by these friends who joined and supported this academic institute. WBTI is really a chain of dedicated individuals, intellectuals, and professionals who join to research, serve, support and to give. We take great pride of our people, including our outstanding faculty members. They are some of the best in the world. We are sincere servers to help improve the quality of life of all the residents and visitors of Nevada."
Nevada State Senator Dina Titus was appointed by Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) as a Fellow of its Public Administration Institution (PAI) on August 15, 2001. She was very pleased to receive the congratulations call from Dr. Tony Lei early that morning. Having out of town for a couple of days, the call reminded her that at the suggestion of U. S. Senator Harry Reid, former Las Vegas Mayor Jan Jones has offered to step down as Nevada's Democatic National Committeewoman, and Dina Titus will seek that job. This will give her some Washington, D. C., connections and enhance her political profile. With four trips a year to Washington, D. C., the committeewoman and committeeman from each state are expected to speak on party issues, raise money, and help recruit candidates.
"It's really my honor to be a Fellow of Public Administration Institution," says Senator Dina Titus to the readers of "Nevada Examiner". "I'm also honor to be invited by Dr. Tony Lei as a Special Guest to the Event and Dinner Party for a Special Tribute to U. S. Senator Harry Reid on August 24, 2001," she continued. Dina Titus will bring her husband Dr. Wright to attend the Party at the Asia Palace Chinese Restaurant on the Friday evening. Dr. Wright is a Senior Professor in the Department of History at UNLV. The Event and Dinner Party was initiated by Dr. Tony Lei and Ms. Nancy Diaz. It will be chaired by Dr. Tony Lei, Dr. R. D. Prabhu, Dr. Ram Singh, Mr. Tonie Sison, and Ms. Rita Vaswani. Joined with more than 36 hosts of the Dinner Party by community and organizational leaders, business exevutives and owners, and officials, we are expecting to have guests and participants about 380 people.
As a Professor of Political Science of UNLV , Dina Titus is now a famous Senator of the State Nevada. She is also a State Senator Democratic Leader. On August 14, 2001, she said that she would run for Lieutenant Govenor if Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman runs for Nevada Governor. "She's brilliant, and she would be a great governor," Mayor Goodman siad of Senator Titus.
To her new honor and appointment as a Fellow of Public Administration Institution (PAI) of WBTI on August 15, 2001, Senator Titus agreed with District Judge Valorie Vega on "This position will undoubtedly provide me with avenues for exploring improvements in public services to which I'm most dedicated." It is really a valuable advancement that we may have such an appropriate and achieved individual like Dina as a colleague to our Institution. Senator Titus' expertise and good reputation in political science has been known locally and nationally. With her outstanding professional expertise and practical public administration experience, Senator Titus' acceptance as a fellow of PAI evidences that in supporting Director Dr. William Thompason with Fellows Attorney General Frankie Sue Del Papa, Professor Roy Adamson, and Justice of the Supreme Court Nancy Becker, they will form an excellent leadership team launching PAI into the next milleunnium for academic excellence and administrative practicality.
"The maturity of citizens society is the fundamental guarantee for the normal processing of democratic politics. In a citizens society, it depends highly on the team of public intellectuals. A good public intellectual interates peoples' opinion, analyze rationally, and points out wise perspectives and notice. Dina plays an important and significant responsibility of mission as an achieved intellectual at the same time as an important statewoman. Our Nevada is critically in need of these intellectuals and professionals in every kind of fields," said Dr. Tony Lei, President of WBTI.
