I am pleased to announce that the state of Nevada is taking part in the newly created National Sex Offender Public Registry (NSOPR). The program was developed by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to allow for the secure and reliable organization and transmission of public sex offender data from across our nation by creating a link to each participating state�s public safety web site. Thanks to the hard work of officials from Nevada�s Department of Public Safety, Nevada will be among the first 20 states to take part in this important program.

The national registry utilizes an innovative, web-based technology by linking existing state and U.S. territory sex offender registries into a cohesive national search engine. The program will be available to law enforcement and the general public alike. It will allow for real-time, user-friendly access to public sex offender websites in the participating states.

The NSOPR will work to ensure that Nevadans are not caught off guard; that potentially dangerous offenders are prevented from manipulating the current system. This secure, efficient and accurate national search site gives citizens immediate access to public sex offender records nationwide, helping us to ensure the safety of our children by reducing and preventing sex crimes and violence across America.

Nevada�s participation in the NSOPR, in addition to increasing the security and safety of our children, has an added benefit. In order to link our registry with the national database, the Department of Justice will be providing Nevada with a new, state-of-the-art computer server. This important piece of equipment will enhance our system�s current capabilities and improve its efficiency; readying our system for its inclusion in this national information exchange. Additionally, the NSOPR is more efficient because it allows states to maintain and control their own databases, while linking these websites to the NSOPR to allow for national access. This means that data warehousing is unnecessary at the national level and that serious concerns over privacy and data usage are avoided.

I would additionally like to thank George Togliatti, Nevada�s director of public safety, for working with our legislative leadership to secure the approval of Senate Bill 341. This important piece of legislation adds many new safeguards to Nevada�s sex offender registry program and makes improvements to our public information website. The combination of these added safeguards and Nevada�s participation in the NSOPR will help us to realize our goal of making Nevada a safer place to live.

Currently, there are 4,716 active registered sex offenders in Nevada and more than 500,000 registered sex offenders nationwide. By pooling its information with law enforcement agencies across the country, Nevada�s Department of Public safety is working to protect our children.

***** Neswbrief of WBTI on February 4, 2004 *****

to pay a special tribute to Justice Myron Leavitt
By Tiffany Chang

On Wendesday, January 4, 2004, the Asian American Group of Asian American Community in Nevada will hold an event and dinner party.*12 At 7:00 - 9:30 p. m., the location will be at the Harbor Palace Restaurant , China Town, Las Vegas. The Event is for a Special Tribute to Justice Myron Leavitt.

It planned to invite Chief Justice Debra Agosti of the Nevada Supreme Court and District Judge of Nevada Michelle Leavitt as Keynote Speakers.

The following individuals had been planned as Event Chairpersons: David Amesbury, Esq., General Counsel --- CAN-DO; Raj Chanderraj, MD, Founder, Friends of India; Benson Lee, Esq., President, Chinese American Citizens Alliance of Las Vegas; R. D. Prabhu, MD, Chairperson, CAN-DO; among others.

Kristopher Raft, Esq.; Rita Vaswani; Joey Villaflor, MD, Chairman, Board of Health; among others.

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.

All of the guests will be about 200 people. Attire for the event and party is business. Guests whom invited by Dr. Tony Lei, Chairman of Chinese American Academic Association of Nevada and his wife Judy are: Miss Agnas Chan, Ms. Helen Hsueh, Mr. Jimmy Hsu, Miss Christine Hu, Mr. Xiao-sheng Huang , Mr. Raymond Lam, Mr. Mark Meng, Mr. Ja Pu, Dr. An-pyng Sun, and Mr. Yuan Chuan Tsai.

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 administratives 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 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. 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

Just $700 kicked off Buckley's LV gamble
Almost 25 years later, legislator eyes top Assembly post
By ED VOGEL
REVIEW-JOURNAL CAPITAL BUREAU

[[[Barbara Buckley, left, appears on the Assembly floor in June. She says her work with Clark County Legal Services, which provides legal aid to abused children and victims of domestic violence, offers insights that often induce her to write bills.

CARSON CITY -- As a 20-year-old, Barbara Buckley took a trip from her Philadelphia home to Las Vegas to visit her best friend, who had just had a baby.

She quickly fell in love with the city and Nevada's wide-open spaces and decided to move West.

"Instead of staying for two weeks, I stayed a few months and got a job as a maid with the Culinary union," she remembers. "Hardest job in my life. Then I went back to Philadelphia, saved $700 over the next year and moved to Las Vegas."

Now, nearly a quarter-century later, Buckley, 44, has completed her third session as the majority leader of the state Assembly and her 11th year as the Democratic legislator representing District 8 in Las Vegas.

With Assembly Speaker Richard Perkins, D-Henderson, relinquishing his seat to run for governor next year, Buckley is the overwhelming favorite to replace him as speaker in 2007.

Nevada has never had a female speaker of the Assembly.

"I would be honored to be speaker if I am fortunate enough to be re-elected and we are fortunate enough to retain the majority," Buckley said. "I believe I will be the only nomination from our (Democratic) caucus."

Buckley says she might someday run for statewide office, perhaps attorney general or governor in 2010. Unless voters repeal the state's term limit constitutional amendment, the Assembly careers of Buckley and several other veteran legislators will end that year.

It's been a pretty heady career for someone who arrived in Las Vegas with no interest in politics and who doubted she would ever go to college.

But she found a job as a legal secretary and a friend and mentor in her boss, Las Vegas lawyer Richard Myers. She earned her bachelor's degree going to night classes at UNLV. Then she headed off to law school at the University of Arizona.

Buckley's parents were Democrats, but they weren't the kind of people who talked politics at the dinner table.

Her mother refused to drop quarters into coin slots in unmanned booths when they drove on toll roads. Instead, she would hand money to attendants at manned booths. She figured the attendants would lose their jobs if everybody bypassed them for the unmanned booths.

"They believed this country should be a place where people leave a better life for children," Buckley said.

Outside the Legislature, Buckley is a lawyer and mother of a 6-year-old boy and a teenage stepson. Her husband, Chan Kendrick, prefers to stay out of the public eye.

Buckley has served since 1996 as executive director of Clark County Legal Services, an agency that provides legal assistance to the poor. The organization offers help for abused children and victims of domestic violence. It also offers classes that teach people to represent themselves in small claims court.

"We work for people getting the raw end of the deal," Buckley said. "I love the job today as much as the day I began."

The work offers her insight into problems people experience. What she learns often induces her to write bills.

Buckley's imprint was on virtually all bills that concerned average people at the 2005 Legislature. She and Assembly Minority Leader Lynn Hettrick, R-Gardnerville, worked out a compromise that limits property tax increases on owner-occupied residential property to 3 percent a year and 8 percent on commercial property.

She and Perkins spearheaded changes in Gov. Kenny Guinn's proposed $300 million car registration rebate plan so that senior citizens who do not drive will receive $75 checks.

In addition, Buckley wrote a bill that reduces fees that can be charged to people who secure loans from payday loan companies. And she sponsored a bill that will help Nevadans secure lower-cost prescription drugs from approved Canadian pharmacies.

Guinn and Buckley have a friendly relationship.

"Barbara is a proud Democrat, and I'm a proud Republican," Guinn said. "That being said, we've worked well together during the past four sessions. She's very smart, very focused and works very hard. We've had a lot of give and take on a lot of important issues like Senior Rx, mental health, Canadian drugs and the DMV rebate, but we always seem to find common ground. I'm not at all surprised she's in line to be the next Assembly speaker."

Assemblyman Scott Sibley, R-Henderson, said Buckley is "a hard worker who knows her stuff. It isn't going to be a case of 'Let's have our first woman speaker.' She has worked well with me and other Republicans. She doesn't play games. She is honest. I don't know what more you can ask of a legislator."

With Democrats holding a 26-16 advantage in the Assembly, Sibley concedes it is unlikely that Republicans can win the majority and install their own speaker.

What has made Buckley effective, according to Assemblywoman Sheila Leslie, D-Reno, is her willingness to assist other legislators in passing their bills.

"She has done things to help every member of the caucus," Leslie said. "She listens. She encourages dissenting opinions. She is a great leader."

Buckley does have her detractors.

During the session, Senate Minority Leader Dina Titus, D-Las Vegas, complained that Buckley and Perkins were taking her initiatives, revising them slightly and coming up with legislation that Perkins could use to tout his candidacy in the governor's race. Titus also is running for governor.

"In my mind, she (Titus) does deserve a lot of credit," Buckley said. "When people are running for higher office, they naturally become focused on the higher office. Once the race is over, I see us continuing to work together."

Buckley did not always support Perkins. They disagreed on a bill that some legislators thought would make it easier for Station Casinos to place casinos in neighborhoods. Buckley said the bill came late in the session and there wasn't enough time to discuss the ramifications of the bill. Perkins ultimately killed it.

"I disagreed maybe three times with Rich over the last 10 years," she said. "I didn't think we had enough time to examine the neighborhood casino bill. Rich has given me the opportunity to succeed. I thank him."

Steven Miller, policy director for the Nevada Public Research Institute, considers Buckley a big spender who is "part of the problem at the Legislature."

In particular, Miller and others, like Sen. Bob Beers, R-Las Vegas, favor a constitutional amendment to limit state spending to the combined rate of inflation and population. Legislators approved a $5.9 billion spending plan that was nearly twice that rate.

"She has been working the liberal orchards for a while now," Miller said. "They are going to spend as long as they can get away with it."

Buckley said the rate of spending growth will drop in 2007. Budgets soared in recent years because legislators were making up for years of neglect in areas like mental health, she said. A mental health increase of 48 percent was approved by the Legislature.

Without such a large increase, Buckley said, the state could not have taken steps to reduce the number of mentally ill people who fill emergency rooms.

"We can't just kick them out," she said. "I think the Legislature does need to control spending. When we must spend at high rates, we need to explain why it is necessary."

A central figure in the rapid expansion of China’s interest in recruiting American students, Dr. Peter C.C. Wang, CEO of the Wang Foundation, gave a presentation at the 2005 NAFSA conference entitled “Strategic Initiatives to Increase Enrollment of American Students Studying in China.” Several days earlier, 35 Chinese university presidents, including senior administrators from the Chinese delegation, visited the Wang Center for International Programs at Pacific Lutheran University and met with Wang for three hours in intensive discussions about how to engage U.S. institutions and their students. The Wang Center was established through a pledge of $4 million from Wang and his wife, Dr. Grace Wang.

The meeting with the Chinese delegation followed on a series of earlier discussions Peter C.C. Wang has had with officials in the Chinese Ministry of Education over the past several years in which he has urged the Chinese government to significantly increase its funding for education, especially among the 400 million rural poor of China. Additionally, he has pressed the government to further engage with the United States through international academic exchange by increasing the volume of American students studying in China. The Chinese government has responded by pledging its support and expressing willingness to cover the cost of supporting American students in China on service-learning programs and the costs of sending Chinese teachers in large numbers to the United States to teach Chinese at the K-12 level and to promote study in China downstream.

New Legislation May Support Stronger U.S-China Ties

Potentially augmenting the commitment of the Chinese government to help the U.S. promote the study of Chinese is the Lieberman-Alexander “United States-China Cultural Engagement Act” introduced May 26, 2005. This proposed legislation “authorizes $1.3 billion in federal funds over five years to provide for Chinese language instruction in American schools, increase American consular activity supporting American commercial activity in China and provide for physical and virtual exchanges among a broad spectrum of individuals in the two nations.” If this bill is enacted, a comprehensive basis will be in place for preparing young Americans in very large numbers to study in China.

Additionally, in December of this year the Commission on the Abraham Lincoln Study Abroad Fellowship Program is expected to recommend a program that will greatly expand the opportunity for students at institutions of higher education in the United States to study abroad. Given the imminent prominence of China on the global stage, it is hoped that the Commission will place significant emphasis on sending American students to China. This would go a long way to making academic study in China a fixture, initiating a much larger flow of students.

Important Factors Must Still be Considered

The key question of how to get more American students to go to China for serious academic study remains open. Universities do not want to expend a great deal of effort launching China programs if the demand isn’t there yet. Wang’s plan is to assist the Wang Center and a coalition of 48 U.S. colleges and universities in a pilot program with Sichuan University and assist Wayne State University’s pilot program with the University of International Business and Economics, to solicit Chinese government to provide scholarships to U.S. college students to study in China, to recruit Chinese universities to participate in work-study program and annually sending American students to study in China with life-time service objectives, and to seek job opportunities for U.S. students while study in China to gain supplemental income.

It was in part Wang’s encouragement to the Ministry of Education of China which led to the major increase in Chinese efforts to recruit American students at NAFSA. Wang advocates the concept of recruiting large numbers of American students to go to China on service-learning scholarships funded largely by the Chinese government in order to learn Chinese and teach English at the same time.

Wang believes passionately that Americans must do what they can to help China educate its rural poor, or else face a future where China will become volatile and plunge the world into crisis. He has strongly urged the government of China to make education of the rural poor a top priority for this reason, and they are responding affirmatively to his recommendations. The latest indication is that the Chinese government has made the decision to increase their education budget from 2.5 percent to 4 percent of China’s GDP for year 2006.

But the question the Chinese government is asking is “Where are the American students?” In their mind, if China is so important on a global level and is making such tremendous efforts to welcome foreign students, why don’t Americans learn Chinese and study in China in much greater numbers? Certainly reciprocating China’s interest in the U.S. could go a long way to improve Sino-U.S. relations in the future.

Moving Forward

The next phase is to get pilot projects up and running in 2006. Several lead institutions planning to work with the Wang Foundation on a pilot project include Tsinghua University in Beijing, Southwest National University in Zhongqing, Sichuan University in Chengdu, and YangZhou Polytechnic College. In the near future Wang is planning to assist American universities in setting up scholarship exchanges as well.

GOVERNOR GUINN AND ATTORNEY GENERAL SANDOVAL CONDEMN EPA�S PROPOSED LAX NEW YUCCA RADIATION STANDARD

CARSON CITY � Nevada Gov. Kenny Guinn and Attorney General Brian Sandoval released the following statement today regarding the Environmental Protection Agency�s proposed new radiation protection standard for the licensing of the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository:

�In a snub to the scientific community and a federal appeals court in Washington, the EPA today issued a proposed standard for the licensing that is 100 times more lenient than what the government permits for releases from nuclear power plants,� Sandoval said. �It's an obscenely lax and dangerous new standard. They just threw up their arms and gave the project a pass."

EPA's radiation protection standard is the primary benchmark used to determine the repository's safety. It sets the maximum permissible radiation dose to humans living near the dump. EPA's previous standard had been set at 15 millirems, a level deemed safe by scientists. But since EPA had arbitrarily determined that this standard needed to be in place only during that period in which no leakage is expected from the repository, the D.C. Court of Appeals invalidated it as being inconsistent with Congressionally mandated recommendations of the National Academy of Sciences. Those recommendations required that the standard protect humans during periods when leakage will cause peak levels of radiation.

EPA's proposed new standard would keep the 15 millirem radiation dose limit during the first 10,000 years of the repository's operation, when no leakage from waste containers is expected by the government. But after that period, when leakage is all but certain, it would permit the standard to become 23 times more lenient, or 350 millirems.

"We were pessimistic about the outcome, given EPA's record of pushing the repository," said Gov. Guinn. "But never in our wildest nightmares would we have anticipated such a ridiculous standard. The EPA's dangerous proposal is three-and-a-half times more lenient than even the nuclear industry had recommended in a formal report to EPA last spring."

Guinn and Sandoval outlined other features of the proposed rule:

It lets future residents of Nevada suffer 100 times more radiation exposure from releases than what the federal government currently permits for residents living near nuclear power plants. See 10 C.F.R. Part 50, Appendix I, � 2A.

It paradoxically applies a far stricter standard when the repository is not leaking than when it is leaking.

It is by far the most lenient radiation protection standard proposed for any nuclear waste disposal project in the world.

For the first time ever in the world, it seeks to establish the level of "natural background radiation" received by Americans as a tolerable threshold for additional radiation from man-made sources. That is, without explanation, it suggests Nevadans can receive twice the level of radiation normally received by other Americans from natural background sources.

It completely abandons any separate groundwater protection standard during the time of expected leakage from the repository, applying it only during that time period in which no leakage is expected. Yet, EPA has admitted that groundwater contamination would represent as much as 80 percent of any total radiation dose to humans from Yucca.

In considering a bifurcated standard in setting its old rule, EPA concluded that such a standard would be �immoral, unethical to future generations, irresponsible, and unacceptable.�

The Energy Department is overjoyed with the new standard. In an Associated Press report today, DOE's spokesman Craig Stevens said he was "certain" the government could meet it.

"If this bogus new standard, or anything close to it, ends up being adopted by EPA, Nevada will sue them again," Sandoval emphasized.

"I can't imagine how they could have done anything to make themselves more vulnerable in the court of law as well as the court of science," Guinn added. "This is junk science at its worst."

Studies show that motor vehicle accidents are the number one cause of death for Nevada�s teens. In order to combat this trend, the state of Nevada has enacted new laws that will make our roadways safer. These new laws, which were enacted when I signed Assembly Bill 52, will ensure that Nevada�s young drivers are given the training they need to become safe and responsible behind the wheel, while reducing the distractions that prove dangerous for young motorists. The changes include:

� The additional requirement of a formal driving log. Beginning October 1, 2005, drivers under the age of 18 applying for a full license will be required to submit a formal written log of the dates and times of their behind-the-wheel experience. These forms are available online at dmvnv.com and at each DMV office.

� The nighttime driving requirement. Now, as a part of the mandatory 50 hours of guardian supervised behind-the-wheel driving experience, teen drivers must complete a minimum of 10 hours under nighttime driving conditions.

� Requiring all drivers under the age of 18 to hold an instructional permit for a minimum of six months. During this time, the driver must not be found at fault in an accident and must not be convicted of any moving violation or alcohol/controlled substance offense.

� Raising the minimum age to apply for a Nevada Driver�s License from 15 years and 9 months, to 16 years. This change holds true for all teen drivers, regardless of when their instructional permit was issued.

� Increased teen driving restrictions. Drivers under the age of 18 are prohibited from transporting any passenger under the age of 18, except for immediate family members, within the first three months of obtaining their license. Additionally, drivers under 18 may not drive between the hours of 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. unless they are traveling to or from a scheduled event such as school or work. Law enforcement has the prerogative to ask for satisfactory evidence of such an event. This restriction applies to all drivers under age 18, regardless of when their license was issued.

By improving and expanding upon teen driver training, working to limit driving distractions and placing tighter driving restrictions on Nevada�s young motorists, we will improve the overall safety of Nevada�s roadways. Operating a motor vehicle is a significant milestone in a young person�s life and is also an important responsibility. Reckless, careless and aggressive actions behind the wheel can prove fatal, so it is our duty to ensure that our young people have the training and supervision they need to become responsible drivers. With these new additions to Nevada�s teen driving laws, we can now hand the keys over to our children with a renewed sense of confidence and peace
