Google's filing of company booming growth, fueled almost entirely by advertising linked to online searches
By Tiffany Chang and GSBPA of WBTI*1

The famous internet search leader Google's filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission gave an updated picture on the company booming growth, fueled almost entirely by advertising linked to online searches. In the second quarter, Google earned $79.1 million, or 30 cents per share, compared with $32.2 million, or 12 cents per share, in the same period last year. Sales more than doubled, to $700 million in the latest period from $311 million last year," reported Matthew Fordahl of "The Associated Press" on an article published by "Las Vegas Review-Journal" on July 27, 2004.*2

"In the first six months of 2004, the company earned $143 million, 54 cents per share, on revenue of $1.35 billion. In the comparable period last year, the company's profit was $58.0 million, 23 cents per share, on revenue of $560 million.Google also reported that it had 2,292 employees at the end of the second quarter, up from 1,907 three months earlier," it continued.

Internet search leader Google detailed its highly anticipated public stock offering Monday with an estimate that its market value will be as high as $36 billion.

Google's $36 billion would rival corporate stalwarts such as McDonald's Corp and Sony Corp. Google said 24.6 million shares will be sold for $108 to $ 135 each, depending on the unusual auction Google plans to employ as early as next month, according to a regulatory filing.

"That would mean that between $2.66 billion and $3.32 billion in stock would be sold in the initial public offering. However, the amount the company expects to raise is around $1.66 billion, because 10.5 million of the shares being offered are being sold by existing stockholders. It would be the eighthlargest IPO in history, bigger than most that took place during the 1990s dot-com boom. Unlike those companies, however,Google has consistently been profitable and has posted steep revenue increases," reported Matthew Fordahl.*3

On June 11, 2004, Nevada officials opened the first U.S. tourism office in China, hoping to boost the number of foreign visitors to the Silver State. Lorraine Hunt, Lt. Gov. of Nevada, led a delegation of state tourism and hotel representatives to China to celebrate the opening.

"The state hopes to attract five million Chinese tourists a year," said Bruce Bommarito, executive director of the Nevada Commission on Tourism,

He believes that China is the greatest potential market force in the world. "It's mind-boggling. The Chinese tourist is the highest-spending tourist in the world," said Bruce Bommarito.*4

Nevada is the only state in the country to obtain the required certification by the China National Tourism Administration to operate an office.

"Nevada is a popular destination for Chinese tourists. Officials there say over 90% of the 250,000 people who travel to the United States from China stop in Nevada, primarily Las Vegas."*5

Indeed, business achievement is the new yardstick of success in today's society. Therefore, business has become not only the fastest growing major in undergraduate institutions but also in graduate school of famous universities, nationally and internationally. The emphasis of the online communication skills and the quantitative analysis techniques with computers is one of the most important study for the art of success to the business students, professionals, executives, and owners.

In many ways, business school is at the center of this cultural phenomenon. For some, the business school is the passport to the boardroom, the ticket to the top of the corporate ladder. these schools, nationally and internationally, pump out the new generation of business leaders by hundreds of thousands. "They are the pipeline of raw material with which the nation's --- and the world's --- leading business build the future. And MBAs are not limited to the traditional corporate world: From Wall Street to Madison Avenue, from Sand Hill Road to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, today's MBAs lead organizations large and small, in every conceivable industry. They are the executives and entrepreneurs who power the economy."6

"UNLESS YOU'VE BEEN LIVING IN A CAVE, you've seen enormous changes in communications technology over the past two decades. From orbiting satellites routing long distance phone calls to email to undreamed-of growth of the Internet, the age of communicating online, using computers and networks, is upon us all," stated at the first paragraphy of the 'Introduction' of the book, "How to say it online: everything you need to know to master the new language of cyberspac," written by Kim Baker and Sunny Baker.*7

"And what could be better news? To keep in touch, there's nothing faster or cheaper than email. To gain access to information and people, the power of online communication expands your reach from the local to the global. To meet new friends and even romance a potential life partner, online venues provide rich opportunities (if you know the right things to say and the best way to say them). At school, the Internet places volumes of knowledge on ever subject at your fingertips, and at work, computer networks make business communication more efficient than ever." *8

Whether you are in business or in non-profit organization, you need to have a Web site. This seems to be a common wisdom in now- a-days. Think seriously about the needs of your market before you go onto the Web to make more money for business, to develop better non-profit organization, or to contribute to more community service. "It's hard to believe that Fred's Service Station really needs a Web Site to reap new profits. However, for some businesses and professional service firms, the Internet and web to gether offer viable marketing and distribution opportunities. Software companies, online magazines, and email order businesses can do quite well from the Web --- if the owners know how to say the right things on their sites. The Secrets of a Successful Web Site: Just having a site on the Web will do almost nothing to sell your products or services. To promote your Web site, there are three things you must do: (1). You must register your Web site with the best search engines. (2). You should consider using the many free and not free advertising opportunities on the Web. (3) You should search the Web regularly for competitive and related sites, where you can attach a link to your site."*9 To be more successful for your Web site, you need to be favored by the famous search engine services like Yahoo! (www.yahoo.com), Aol! (www.aol.com), Google! (www.google.com), Infoseek! (www.infoseek.com), among others.

"There is no longer any such thing as a purely national economy. The rest of the world is just too big to ignore, either as a market or as a competitor. If business schools do nothing other than to train their students to think internationally, they would have accomplished an important task," said John Young, CEO, Hewlett-Packard.*10

Innovation is the key to success, managers are looking everywhere in the global organization for new ideas. Modern companies would view Information technology (IT) as a major competitive differentiator. Strategic businesses emphazise the ueses of information technology for management. International companies develop their global IT platforms by integrating worldwide hardware, software, and Internet-based network architecture. Commuunication technology, for example the teleconferencing and computer networks, is making it possible for people from subsidiaries around the world to work together on project.

Many business are becoming global companies and moving toward transnational e-business strategies in which they integrate the global business activities of their subsidiaries and headquarters. The international dimemsions of managing global e-business technologies include dealing with cultural, political, and geoeconomic challenges posed by various countries for global marketplace. The e-business technologies are changing the distribution, relatonships, resources, and responsibilities of managers. Information Technology is helping managers of e-business to eliminate layers of amangement, enabling more collaborative forms of management, providing them with significant information technology resources, and confront them with major e-business and e-commerce challenge.

In order to keep the online universe a productive, safe, communicative environment, it is interesting and worth to post the ten commandments for computer ethics. They were created by the Computer Ethics Institute: (1). Thou shalt not use a computer to harm other people. (2). Thou shalt not interfere with other people's computer work. (3). Thou shalt not snoop around in other people's files. (4). Thou shalt not use a computer to steal. (5). Thou shalt not use a computer to bear false witness. (6). Thou shalt not use or copy softwear for which you have not paid. (7). Thou shalt not use other people's computer resources without authorization. (8). Thou shalt not appropriate other people's intellectual output. (9). Thou shalt think about the social consequences of the program you write. (10). Thou shalt use a computer in ways that show consideration and respect.

A sucessful businessperson always know the old rule that says "It's easier to keep an existing customer than to find a new one." In online customer relationships, this rule is just as important. Your goal should not only to get new visitors, but to cultivate your customer base to yield repeat sales, services, and referrals from satisfied purchasers, clients, and patronagers. "Besides a good product or service, there are only three things you need for successful online customer relations: strong communication, common courtesy, and exemplary customer service. Unfortunately, these old-fashioned values are often missing in many companies' online promotional communication." *12

---China-U.S. pact may help spur Sino-LV flights

China-U.S. pact may help spur Sino-LV flights

By CHRIS JONES
GAMING WIRE

So much for one Great Wall.

A landmark aviation agreement completed this weekend removed one of the last roadblocks to widespread travel between China and the United States. On Monday, the state's top tourism official said he now believes passenger and cargo flights could regularly connect Nevada and mainland China within the next two years.*2

"It's huge and exciting," Bruce Bommarito, executive director of the Nevada Commission on Tourism, said of Saturday's announced agreement between the two nations. "We didn't know the details, but we knew both governments have been working toward this. It really confirms ... that China is the next big market" for inbound international tourism within the United States.

While in Beijing this weekend, U.S. Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta and Civil Aviation Administration of China Minister Yang Yuanyuan finalized an accord to allow five additional airlines from each country to serve the U.S.-China market over the next six years.

No airline has yet committed to service between mainland China and Las Vegas' McCarran International Airport, but Bommarito believes such an announcement will come soon.

That confidence is based upon recent conversations between Nevada leaders, members of the Chinese government and various travel-related businesses in Asia. During a fall visit to China, Bommarito said a Civil Aviation Administration of China leader told him and Lt. Gov. Lorraine Hunt the start of passenger service here is inevitable.

"His closing comment to us was, `It's not a matter of if we will fly to Nevada. It's a matter of when,' " Bommarito said.

Visas remain a major obstacle to Chinese tourism, however. The United States does not place a hard limit on the number of Chinese travelers to enter the country, though visitor volume is effectively slowed by the government's requirement that all Chinese complete a visa interview prior to visiting the United States.

Bommarito said U.S. embassies in China are adding more workers to conduct those interviews, though the demand outweighs their current ability to quickly process applicants. Bommarito previously said pending requirements for biometric passports could ease the visa application process for Chinese citizens within the next few years.

In June, Nevada became the first state to open a government-sanctioned tourism office in China to better position the state should Chinese travel be liberalized.

Saturday's agreement will allow 195 new weekly flights for each country -- 111 by all-cargo carriers and 84 by passenger airlines -- growing to 249 weekly flights at the end of a six-year phase-in period, the Transportation Department said.

Fourteen such flights will be available for new U.S. passenger services on Aug. 1 this year, including Northwest Airlines' new daily service between Detroit and Guangzhou and United Airlines' new daily nonstop service between Chicago and Shanghai.*3

The above report was also shown on the lasvegas.com early this morning.

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.*4

The annual "Governor's Conference on Tourism" was held by Governor Kenny Guinn of Nevada at Caesears Palace on December 15-17, 2003. He joined the members of the Commission on Tourism to examine the latest tourism industry issue and trends. The theme was "Celebrating Deversity". It was chosen to draw attention to Nevada's efforts to broaden both its tourism product and market. The Conference on December 15-17 was held in celebrating the diversity that would make the Silver State a perennial leader in worldwide tourism.*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. 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."*7

Governor Guinn expresses that he can not overemphasize the significance and importance of bringing attention to all the attractions to Nevada at a time when it faces unprecedented competition for gaming customers. He believes that we are wise to expand our marketing efforts and focus on developing markets in places such as Asia. It is significant for him to point out that in addition to gaming, Nevada has phenomenal cultural, historic, and recreational resources that we must continue to promote. The Governor emphasizes that for our state's economy to thrive, all of the Silver State's tourism opportunities must be effectively marketed to both domestic and international visitors.*8

Lt. Governor Lorraine Hunt points out that she sees the will in the Chinese people and elected officials to make more opportunities and conviences for them to travel America. "They know they want to participate in the world economy," said the Lt. Governor.*9

On May 18, 2000 Lt. Governor Lorriane Hunt of Nevada lead (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.*10

"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.*11

"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."*12

Las Vegas, Nevada, 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.

GOVERNOR KENNY GUINN OF NEVADA SEEKS FEDERAL ASSISTANCE FOR WATERFALL FIRE
By Office of the Governor*1

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 26, 2004 Contact Greg Bortolin or John Trent
775-684-5670

GOV. GUINN SEEKS FEDERAL ASSISTANCE
FOR WATERFALL FIRE

CARSON CITY ¡V Gov. Kenny Guinn today announced that he is requesting a federal Preliminary Damage Assessment (PDA) team through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for a thorough assessment of the damages and economic impact experienced as a result of the Waterfall Fire earlier this month in Carson City. The PDA team will determine if the state will qualify for a federal Presidential Declaration of Emergency for the July 14 fire.*2

¡§The fire caused significant destruction of private and commercial properties, roadways and drainage infrastructure,¡¨ Gov. Guinn said. ¡§While the initial response has primarily been concluded, the post-fire, long-term recovery will be extensive in order to prevent further damages to homes, commercial properties and public infrastructure resulting from excessive water runoff, debris flows and potential mud slides.¡¨

The PDA team will arrive on Wednesday morning. The team is anticipated to spend the rest of the week visiting the affected areas and compiling data. The team will be accompanied by the State of Nevada¡¦s PDA team through the Nevada Division of Emergency Management and members of the Nevada Division of Forestry. If the assessment determines that the State of Nevada qualifies for a federal declaration, the state will receive a federal Public Assistance grant for recovery of emergency response costs and restoration of lost or damaged public infrastructure. Additionally, the state will receive post-disaster mitigation funds that will assist with the post-fire rehabilitation of the affected areas.*3

His service to Clark County students was honored when Kenny C. Guinn Junior High School was named for him.

In 1978, Guinn began applying his management skills in business as Administrative Vice President for Nevada Savings and Loan in Las Vegas, which later became PriMerit Bank. At PriMerit, he was appointed as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Las Vegas-based bank.

U. S. Senator Harry Reid's most recent "WHIP ROUND UP" to Dr. Tony Lei
By Office of the Assistant Democratic Leader of U. S. Senate and PAI of WBTI*1

"The report of the 9-11 Commission doesn’t cast blame on any one person or agency. Instead, it shows that we need to make changes in the way our government gathers and uses intelligence. We need teamwork, not finger-pointing. We must use this report as a blueprint to make our nation safer," stated in the 'Reid's Words' on the "WHIP ROUND UP"*2 just published this afternoon (Las Vegas time). It was faxed by the Office of U. S. Senator Harry Reid from Washington D. C. to Dr. Tony Lei in the afternoon on July 23, 2004.*3

We are pleased to post the "WHIP ROUND UP" from the Office of Assistant Democratic Leader of the U. S. Senate in Washington, D. C. on July 23, 2004. The following is Reid's "WHIP ROUND UP":

Reid for Nevada

Reid, Ensign Secure $12.8 Million for Army National Guard
Senators Harry Reid and John Ensign have secured $12.8 million to construct a new National Guard Readiness Center in southwest Las Vegas near Henderson. The facility will help protect Nevada families and better prepare our Army National Guard in case of emergency.*4

Reid Bill Will Help Rural School Districts
Senator Harry introduced legislation to help rural counties in Nevada purchase new school buses. Reid introduced the legislation after meeting recently with school superintendents from every county in the state, and hearing about the transportation challenges that rural school systems are facing. The bill would provide $50 million in competitive grants to help purchase new buses.

Reid, Ensign Announce $4.7 Million to Expand Fallon Naval Air Station
Fallon Naval Air Station will be more secure and efficient thanks to $4.7 million secured by Nevada Senators Harry Reid and John Ensign. The funding will be used to construct two new magazines with the capacity to store 325,000 pounds of explosives.

Reid, Ensign Announce $719K to Promote Home Ownership
Senators Harry Reid and John Ensign announced a $719,000 grant that will open the door to home ownership for more families in Lyon County. The American Dream Downpayment Initiative (ADDI) and HOME awards, distributed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, promote home ownership by providing help with down payments and closing costs to low-income and minority households.

Working with Nevadans

“Do the Write Thing?contest winners, Christina Fernandez and Lee Saxton, met with Senator Reid in his Capitol office while visiting Washington D.C.
Nevada students Eddie Schaub and Katie Gast met with Senator Reid while in D.C. for the Congressional Youth Leadership Conference.

Senator Reid congratulates Brandon Manthei, 11, of Las Vegas, the Nevada winner of the Tar Wars poster contest. Tar Wars is a national tobacco-free education program for fifth graders which is operated in Nevada by the Academy of Family Physicians.

Week in Review

Final Defense Spending Bill Includes $500M to Fight Fires
The Senate unanimously approved a $418 billion defense spending measure late Thursday. It became the first spending bill to clear both chambers and now moves to the White House for action. The bill funds ongoing military operations, provides counter-terrorism funding, and includes increases in pay and benefits for members of the armed forces. It also includes supplemental funds of $500 million to fight forest fires in Western states, and a $25 billion emergency reserve fund for Afghanistan and Iraq.

Energy Regulatory Commission To Review Enron Contracts
Nevada consumers won a victory this week when the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission agreed to hold a hearing on a petition to block Enron Corp. from collecting $326 million from state utilities for electricity that was never delivered. The petition was filed last October, and the announcement came just days after Senator Reid strongly urged FERC to take action on the matter. A favorable ruling by FERC would save millions of dollars for Nevada consumers, and restore the financial health of the state’s utilities.

Senate Approves Resolution Condemning Sudan Genocide
The Senate on Thursday also approved a resolution condemning the genocide that is occurring in the Darfur region of Sudan and calling on the Sudanese government and the international community to stop the human slaughter. An estimated 30,000 people, most of them black Africans, have been murdered by armed militias backed by the Sudanese government.

INSIDER'S CALENDAR
The Senate is in recess until Tuesday, September 7.

The Senate will convene on September 7 at 12:00 noon with a period of morning business until 5:00 p.m. Roll call votes on two judicial nominations will begin at 5:30 p.m.*5

Reid's Words

The report of the 9-11 Commission doesn’t cast blame on any one person or agency. Instead, it shows that we need to make changes in the way our government gathers and uses intelligence. We need teamwork, not finger-pointing. We must use this report as a blueprint to make our nation safer.

"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

"Elaine Chao and John Ensign 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.*3

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!*4

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. Congretulations! Republican U.S. Senator-elect Honorable John Ensign.

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.
