***** There is no more noble occupation in the world than to assist another human being--to help someone succeed. ---Alan Loy McGinnis

At the dawn of this new era, the emphasis has shifted from the physical and mechanical labor required by the Industrial Revolution to the mental labor needed to sustain the new Information Revoluation. In an organization, the people and minds have become the most precious assets for its development, innovation, and prosperity.

Since the beginning in the fall of 1937, Pepperdine University has experienced remarkable progress and achievement the realm of higher education. The faculty of the University seek to instill not only a will to achieve excellence, but also a spirit of philanthrophy and servanhood. Designed nicely, the Malibu campus of Pepperdine has frequently been described as the most beautiful one in the world. Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) was created as an inspirational medium for academic research and community service under the affirmation and creed of Pepperdine University.*1

"Our greatest credit at Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) is our people -- not facades or fountains, not landsacapes or lakescapes, but people -- faculty, advisory members, administration, and a host of friends," says President Dr. Tony Lei. "On the publications of WBTI through multimedia, locally, nationally, and internationally, we have featured many of our own: U. S. Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao; Governor of Nevada Kenny Guinn; U. S. Senators Harry Reid and John Ensign; U. S. Representatives James Gibbons and Shelley Berkley; Dr. Andrew Benton; Dr. Charles Runnels; Lt. Governor Lorraine Hunt; Chief Federal Judge Lloyd Geroge; Attorney General Brian Sandoval; Justices of the Supreme Court William Maupin and Nancy Becker; Nevada Senator and UNLV Professor of Political Science Dina Titus; District Judges Stewart Bell, Mark Denton, Valorie Vega, Nancy Saitta, Michelle Leavitt, Jessie Walsh, Jennifer Togliatti, and Jackie Glass; Dr. E. Lee Bernick and Dr. G. Keong Leong; Mayor Oscar Goodman, Clark County Commissioner and Chairman Rory Reid; Mayor Michael Montandon, Sheriff of Southern Nevada Bill Young, Justice of the Nevada Supreme Court Michael Douglas, Ms. Wendy Yu-ping Wu, Dr. Feng-wei Lai, Nevada Assemblywoman Valerie Weber, Dr. William N. Thompson; among others (the names are written at random)." *2

"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 who joined to research, serve, support, and to give. We take great pride of our people, including our outstanding faculty. They are some of the best in the world. We are sincere servers to help improve the quality of life of all our residents and visitors of Nevada," expresses heartily Dr. Tony Lei.

"I want to thank you for my recent appointment as an Associate Fellow of the Public Administration Institution by Washington Business and Technology Institute. It is certainly an honor to be acknowledged by you for my commitment to serving this community. I look forward to expanding my public service by working with you and the Institute to continue to better our community. Your dedication is a wonderful example of what others should strive to accomplish," wrote LVSCP Attorney Natalie Tyrrell to Dr. Tony Lei from her Office. "I want to share with you my favoriate quote. It is by the great Winston Churchill. It exemplifies the driving force by which I start out each day. He said: 'We all make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.' Thank you for this honor and the wonderful dinner celebration." Natalie is now a Justice of the Peace of the Clark County Justice Court.

Community participation is an asset for enhancing public service. True leadership comes from knowing when one needs to depend on other's knowledge. Leaders are individuals who help people understand their motivations for doing things. They set the direction and understand why the direction is important. Dr. Tony Lei believes that in education leadership is a call to help others. He has the quality that inspires people to do what needs to be done and to feel good about doing it. Balanced with his outstanding academic expertise, he is a servant of God for community service, sincere and humble but not weak.*3

By loving, we are enriched. Love in action is service above self. Make service a part of character and experience the abundant reward that comes from serving others. Let us fan the flame of service in ever-increasing circles. With this, we can envision a community that is safe, peaceful, and healthy. District Judge of the Family Court Cheryl Moss said that, "I've remained dedicated to serving the community, and I've been inspired by the leadership, wisdom, and guidance of WBTI's Prsident Dr. Tony Lei. I recognized that Dr. Tony Lei's accomplishments have demonstrated that taking part in the community with ones kindness and selfless service can contribute excellence as well as make a difference in the society."

One of the important accomplishment of Dr. Tony Lei as a famous Professor of Management is the research and findings on computer education, institutional management, and the art of leading of his three notable books entitled "Information Management", "Business Management", and " Management Behavior". "A good leader should acquire the ability of and execute the following seven management functions: 1. Planning: to plan important task project of this unit; 2. Organizing; to master the organoizational system of this unit; 3. Staffing: to recruit the appropriate staff members; 4. Directing: to direct the people on the staff of this unit; 5. Coodinating: to coordinate the benefits and conflicts of this unit in order to attain sound cooperation; 6. Representing: to reprent this unit in order to coordinate outside concerns and relationships; 7. Budgeting: to establish and control the budget of this unit; 8. Systematizing: to use management information system throuh computers and multimedia for our modern business," says Dr. Tony Lei.

"There are three models of leadership that a good leader, especially the leader of an association, may emphasize: A. Creative Leadership: The leader takes the most importance of holding the great principles to develop the future endeavor of this unit. (1) Sense of Mission -- to make the members not work as a job but high degree of the "concept of value"; (2) Foresightness -- to develop the future blueprint for this unit; (3) Teamwork Spirit -- to motivate the cooperation and success of the whole group; (4) Orientation by Objectives -- to encourage all the members unit put full effort on its clear and definite objectives," continues Dr. Tony Lei.

"B. Humanity Leadership: the leader emphasizes the importance of his or her relationship with the abordinates. He or she motivates their work morality and spirit. Therefore, he or she should understand, emphasize, and hold of humanity in order to promote everyone's potentiality to endeavor for this unit. The key points are: 1. Trust; 2. Delegation of authority; 3. The Second Chance Theory (to pardon your subordinate);
4. Encouragement; 5. Help and Care; 6. Support and Assistance; 7. Training and Education.

"C. Democratic Leadership: The leader respects humanity and allows individual development to make his or her group members cooperate and work by division of labor with self-motion and self-revelation. Its specialties are:

1. The leader endeavors to win followers by himself or herself with good personality and emphasizes knowledge and experience as the foundation of leading. 2. Subordinates have a full opportunity to participate decisionmaking and to suggest good idea. 3. The leader puts attention to the benefit of the subordinates, understand their needs, focuses the importance of the people. 4. The leader gives only some direction on the work planning, and leave the details of the work processing to the subordinates. 5. The leader has full opportunity to participate in employees activities, and they get along with each other very well. 6. The communication between the leader and subordinates is fully in good condition, and they enjoy fruitful accomplishment with good understanding. 7. The division of labor is decided by the group and the subordinates have the right selecting their work accompanists with the direction and coordination of their leader by their side. 8. The leader evaluates the performance of his or her subordinates objectively and renders fair judgement in giving prize or punishment."

"In practically, the effectiveness of the above leadership can be attained by its flexible application in accordance with the right time, place, matter, people, and objective situation, " Dr. Tony Lei points out.*4

"In righteousness you will be established."*5 "In this 21th Century new era and society, we need economic growth, but we also need to establish and promote creativity, fairness and justice, serve and love, educational knowledge, and spirit engineering. We wish that a pure spring may prosper and enrich our splendid and golden country through: the power of public service that based on 'knowledge is the power of righteouness,'; the advancement of technology, entreneurship, and innovation; and the spirit that 'knowledge calls, ultimately, for a life of service'," says Dr. Tony Lei.

"Thank you for my recent appointment as an Associate Fellow of Public Administration and Chairperson of the Community Relations Study Committee of the Washington Business and Technology Institute. It is truly an honor to be a part of this organization, as it plays an important role in identifying, researching, and addressing the issues facing our community.
Your leadership and dedication to the community are to be commended, and I look forward to working with you and the Institute in this new capacity. Thank you again for affording me this opportunity," wrote Councilwoman Lynette McDonald from her Office of the Las Vegas City Council to Dr. Tony Lei.

WBTI has reported continuously the accomplishment and advancement of the members of its faculty and advisory board through publications and multimedia across Las Vegas, Nevada, California, New York, Hawaii, Washington D. C., China, Philippine, Singapore, Thailand, and Taiwan. One of its the most important educational technology is the WBTI website at http://communitylink.reviewjournal.com/lvrj/wbti brought to you by "Las Vegas Review-journal" and lasvegas.com. The presentation and publication by WBTI through multimedia in the recent twelve years have highly increased the value and status of their positions of the academic institute.

In righteousness, the poeple who cares about community service by the time of her or his professionalsim will alway winning the support by the citizens here in Nevada. Most of the faculty members in the Public Administration Institution (PAI) have been the revelators of this special trait during their elections. Many of them won the highest votes at their judicial and general elections. In joining the Institute as a faculty member, she or he enjoys the rebounded and fruitful experience of academic research and community service. "This position (Fellow of the PAI of WBTI) will undoublely porvide me with avenues for exploring improvements in public services to which I am most dedicated," said District Judge Valorie Vega after the winning of election in 2000.*6

"As Director of Public Administration Institution (PAI), it's my privilege to share a leadership role with Dr. Tony Lei and to have wonderful cooperation of all the faculty since PAI's establishment. Innovative in integrating his expertise in institutional management and spiritual value in education, Dr. Tony Lei's wisdom and efforts towards community service and academic endeavor have been very valuable. We expect the forthcoming work performance of Pan Pacific and Asian American Forum (PPAAF) founded by this Institute to help Improve the quality of life of the people and to contribute to the peosperity of this State," Said Dr. William Thompson.*7 Bill is former Chairman and now Professor of the Department of Public Administration of UNLV.

"As you know, I've begun to learn and practise leading skills through my college life. I'm deeply impressed by the valuable practicality and theoreticality of the leading skills proclaimed and inspired by Washington Business and Technology Institute. During my three victories of the past elections since he moved to Las Vegas from Los Angeles, Dr. Tony Lei have been one of my great supporter with his outstanding knowledge and wisdom," said U. S. Congresswoman Shelley Berkley.

"Under the recommendation of President Dr. Tony Tung-tien Lei, Taiwan Benevolent Association of America and Ms. Wendy Yu-ping Wu have received Greeting Letters from U. S. Senator John Ensign and U. S. Congressman James Gobbons and Certificates of Recognition from Nevada Governor Kenny Guinn and U. S. Congressman Jon Porter. She was appointed Assistant Fellow of Public Administration Institution (PAI) and Chairperson of Interstate Business Cooperation and Development Council by Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) on May 11, 2005." The announcement was made on Thursday, July 14, 2005, by Dr. John Wang, Spokesperson for WBTI in Las Vegas, Nevada, U. S. A.*8

"It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Las Vegas for the 28th Annual Convention of the Taiwan Benevolent Association of America. I hope that, during your time here, you will be able to experience some of the many attractions that our beautiful city has to offer. .....," wrote U. S.

"It is a pleasure and privilege to welcome the Taiwan Benevolent Association of America and its international convention to Las Vegas and the Paris Hotel. .....Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help make your visit a more pleasant and productive experience. .....," wrote U.

Some commitment and vision on business development and educational excellency
By Tiffany Chang

***** Any business that does not learn how to innovate within the next few years will not be around by the year 2000. ---Peter F. Drucker

"Mr. Pepperdine was really a visionary who put energy and ingenuity into his dreams. The institution he founded has continued to dream and to be an encourager of vision. We have often quoted Daniel Hudson Burnham, who, at the turn of the twentieth century, said, 'Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men’s blood... Make big plans, aim high in hope and work.' We believe that students ought to begin with a commitment to outstanding academics. But there are other elements that are also important. Students need a heart for excellence and a soul that makes big plans and aims high. In addition, without a foundation of ethics, character, and faith, we believe true success is impossible. We hope you are among those who want to soar beyond mediocrity and reach for the magic that will 'stir men’s blood,'" stated President Dr. Andrew K. Benton of Pepperdine University.*1

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." *2

"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.*3

"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." *4

"Business has only two functions," writes Peter Drucker, "marketing and innovation." Consider these phrases posted on separate roadside signs: A peach looks good...with lots of fuzz... but man's no peach... and never was... Burma Shave! In 1925, Burma Shave knew they had a great product but were ineffective in marketing it. So, their roadside advertising was implemented. Today, the Burma Shave commercial are highly recognized as memorable trivia. Here's another exemplary approach combining innovation and unique marketing. A small garage-based company took a single product, biodegradable soap,broke the customary marketing trends and amassed a fortune.
Using multi-level marketing, Amway left its competitors green with envy. First, they produced a quality product, developed unique packaging, attached distinctive labeling, and then used direct salespeople to sell their product. It is working to the tune of an estimated $1 billion in annual revenues.
Domino's Pizza shocked the industry with their original idea: "Guaranteed delivery in 30 minutes or $3.00 off." Quick service is now a minimum standard in the food industry. Innovative marketing-could it be the third function of business?*5

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." *6 To be more successful for your Web site, you need to be favored by the famous search engine services like Yahoo! (www.yahoo.com, and www.yahoo.cn), Google! (www.google.com, and www.google.cn), Aol! (www.aol.com), MSN! (www.msn.com), WebCrawler! (www.WebCrawler.com), Infoseek! (www.infoseek.com), among others.

"As we look to the horizon, we will remain steadfast to these commitments (academic excellence, the student experience, and community partnerships), and indeed increase the number and quality of our initiatives to ensure brighter futures for the school and our students. We strive to educate the whole person, in both intellect and spirit. We consider it especially important to dedicate ourselves to these efforts, given the vital importance of the fields of education and psychology. These professions exist to serve the needs of others—to educate and heal the minds and souls of the community. To this end, GSEP is dedicated to exemplifying and providing inspiration for change. It is our profound vision to encourage our students to serve, change, and improve the community, ...," pointed out Dean Dr. Margaret J. Weber, Graduate School of Education and Psychology, Pepperdine University.*7

"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.*8

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." *10

"We need individuals who can restore hope and create positive changes in our society. It is our responsibility as educator to produce leaders who will take that initiative. To do so, we must be at the level of the individual student and alumnus. Utimately, the school must strengthen the student's intellect and create a better, bolder, and more ehical thinker who will yield the greatest impact on the community in roles as educators therapists, and business persons," siad Nancy Magnusson Fagan at the time when she was the Dean of the Graduate School of Education and Psychology, Pepperdine University.*11

"The ServiceMaster Corporration serves as a beautiful example of a company that thoroughly integrates its corporate philosophy and mission into day-to-day affairs. Founded by Marion E. Wade, the story of its conception, genesis and growth is told in Wade's book, God is Counsel. Kenneth T. Wessner, Chairman of the Board of ServiceMaster, states: 'The philosopgy of a company determines the character and nature of business it conducts. The climate of a company is created by the concepts of managing and life that govern its policies and practices. The philosophy of ServiceMaster and the words we used to express that philosophy have been carefully conceived, nurtured, and refined through years of thought, work, and commitment. Our company philosophy is expressed in four objectives. These four staterment are the foundation upon which everything we do is built.

To honor God in all we do.
To help people develop.
To pursue excellence.
To grow profitably.

For the people of ServiceMaster, their work is not merely the making of a living; it is a way of life.'" *12

That solid philosophy has helped ServiceMaster become one of the largest cleaning service conglomerates in the world. We are impressed by what Dr. Peter Drucker said that, "Only a clear definition of the mission and purpose of the business makes possible clear and realistic business objectives. It is the foundation for priorities, strategies, plans, and work assignments. It is the starting point for the design of managerial jobs, above all, for the design of managerial structures." A business is a reflection of the leader.

Vision may develop its power to direct what tommorrow will look like. Vision is having an acute sense of the possible. The thing what others can not see, it can be seen by vision. "The willingness to create a new vision is a statement of your belief in your potential," said David McNally.*13

"At Pepperdine University’s Graziadio School of Business and Management, we are committed to developing values-centered business leaders for contemporary business practice. Our focus on leadership grounded in such core values as integrity, stewardship, compassion, and responsibility has been an integral part of our growth over the last thirty-five years and guides us today as the fifth largest accredited graduate business school in the nation," pointed out Dean Dr. Linda A. Livingtone, Graziadio Business School of Pepperdine University.*14

"When you enroll in the Graziadio School, you will be joining an institution with a strong entrepreneurial culture. A successful entrepreneur, George Pepperdine, founded the University at the depths of the Great Depression. His vision was to build an institution that would strengthen young adults for lives of purpose, service, and leadership. More than a half century later, George L. Graziadio, Jr., another successful entrepreneur and co-founder and chairman of Imperial Bank, continued this entrepreneurial legacy through his generous endowment of the business school which now bears his name. We honor their entrepreneurial spirit by delivering a learning experience that is relevant and practical in an ever-changing business environment."

Meet Lorraine Hunt, Honorary Chairperson of International Cities Business Council of WBTI
By Michael Douglas, Valerie Weber, Bill Young, and Tiffany Chang

The International Cities Business Council (ICBC) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) strives to build a bridge among important cities nationally and internationally. ICBC has set the following goals: (1) Mutual cooperation and development of business, trade, and tourism; (2) Public relations among businesses and professionals; and (3) Social and dinner events within the community with a friendly atmosphere.

"As the Hononary Chairperson of International Cities Business Council of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI), I'll have more venues to work for international tourism with Nevada Governor Kenny Guinn who is the Chairman of the Advisory Board of WBTI. We're putting all our effort and wisdom to work for our people, land, and country under the spiritual leadership of Chairperson Elaine Chao of WBTI," said Lorraine Hunt, Lt. Governor of Nevada, on November 11, 2005.
(The above message was signed by Lt. Governor of Nevada Lorraine Hunt.)*1

Justice of the Supreme Court Michael Douglas, District Judge Jessie Walsh, Clark County Commissioner Lynette McDonald, Nevada Assemblywoman Valerie Weber, Clark County Sherriff Bill Young, business executives and owners, multimedia publishers and Editors-in-Chief, organizational and community leaders, and other VIPs co-sponsored the initial establishment of the Intercity Business Council of Nevada (also known as the "International Cities Business Council") of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) . The historical event took place on December 16, 2004 in Las Vegas, Nevada, U. S. A.

The Directors of the International Cities Business Council (ICBC) at the present time are: Honorable Han Zheng, Mayor of the City of Shanghai, China, Honorable Jim Gibson, Mayor of the City of Henderson, Nevada, Honorable Michael L. Montandon, Mayor of the City of North Las Vegas, Nevada, Dr. Stuart Mann, Dean of the William F. Harrah College of Hotel Administration, University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV), Honorable Feng Wei Lai, County Governor of Penghu, Taiwan, Honorable Changping Zhang, Mayor of Xiamen, China, and the Honorable Tommy Hu, CEO (Mayor) of Xiang Fan, Hubei, China, CEO of United Commercial Bank, notably among others.

Lt. Governor of Nevada Lorraine Hunt was invited as the Honorary Chairperson of International Cities Business Council (ICBC) by President Dr. Tony Lei of WBTI. President Dr. Carol C. Harter of UNLV and Nevada Assemblywoman Valerie Weber were elected as Advisors. Miss Charlyne Chen was appointed Chairperson of ICBC by WBTI.

Nevada Lieutenant Governor Lorraine T. Hunt was re-elected to her current office in the November 2002 General Election. She originally took office in January of 1999. As the lieutenant governor, Hunt is president of the Nevada State Senate, chair of the Nevada Commission on Tourism, chair of the Nevada Commission on Economic Development (which includes the Nevada Film Office) and vice-chair of the Nevada Department of Transportation board of directors. She also sits on the governor’s cabinet and serves as chief executive when the governor is unable to serve for any reason or is absent from the state.*2

Hunt is a member of the executive committee of the National Lieutenant Governors Association and serves as vice-chair of the National Republican Lieutenant Governors Association.

It was then that Hunt first demonstrated her entrepreneurial ability by making her first real estate investment in a piece of desert land on the outskirts of Las Vegas. Years later the investment led her into the world of business when she became president and chief executive officer of Perri, Inc., a real estate and restaurant management company.

She has represented the private sector by serving as vice-chair of the Nevada Commission on Tourism; a director and past president of the Nevada Restaurant Association; director, Nevada Hotel-Motel Association; and vice-chair, Nevada Motion Picture Commission and vice chair of the Nevada Motion Picture Foundation.

She began her governmental service with her election to the Clark county commission. She served a four-year term as commissioner and, during her tenure, also served as vice-chair. She also became the first woman to chair the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) since its inception.

Throughout the years Hunt has acquired extensive experience in business and was awarded Nevada’s first Governor’s Award for Excellence in Business as well as being named Nevada’s U.S. Small Business Advocate of the Year. Additional awards and honors include: Casino Legends Hall of Fame, 2001, Educator of the Year, Nevada Restaurant Assoc., 2000; Republican Woman of the Year, 1996; Free Enterprise Award, 1993; Governor’s Conference on Tourism - first Lifetime Achievement Award, 1993; Nevada Restaurateur of the Year, 1992; Nevada Small Business Advocate Award, Small Business Administration, 1989; and the first Governor’s Award for Excellence in Business, State of Nevada, 1987.

Hunt also participates extensively in community service, including having served on the St. Rose Dominican Hospital Community Board, as past president and trustee of St. Jude’s Ranch for Children, and as Vice-Chair of the Pan Pacific and Asian American Forum (PPAAF) of WBTI.*3

Representatives of Air China Cargo have informed Nevada leaders the carrier will use Reno-Tahoe International Airport as a diversion airport when bad weather prevents its scheduled cargo flights from landing in San Francisco, Lt. Gov. Lorraine Hunt said Thursday.

A letter from the airline also hinted that additional flights between Asia and Northern Nevada could be in store.

In recent years, Hunt has led three missions to China to encourage additional trade and tourism between China and Nevada.*4

Governor Kenny Guinn of Nevada reminds us that tourism is the bedrock of Nevada's economy. To expand and diversify our domestic and international markets are absolutely essential to our long-term economic growth and stability.*5

Governor Kenny Guinn and Lt. Govenor Lorraine Hunt said that Nevada's tourism industry must continue to expand its offerings and reach out to diverse markets that range from outdoor enthusiasts to residents of the world's most populous nation (China). Speaking at the general session of the Governor's Conference on Tourism at Caesars Palace, he and she each praised Nevada's continuing efforts to supplement its gaming-based core with non-gaming amenities such as shopping, dinning, and outdoor recreation.*6

"I can't overstate the significance of China's potential as a visitor market for Nevada," Lt. Governor Hunt said. "I found modern cities rife with elements of Western culture such as Starbucks Coffee, MTV, the Rat Pack-era music of Frank Sinatra, etc. Up to 10 percent of the country's approximately 1.4 billion residents can now afford to travel overseas, which has positioned China as Nevada's "newest and most-modern market" for tourism."

On May 18, 2000 Lt. Governor Lorriane Hunt of Nevada led a delegation from Nevada to Taipei of the Republic of China. "This is important to Nevada in areas beyond just our tourism industry. Taiwan enjoys a growing economy with considerable technological advancement and as such, they are one of the world's top 15 trading nations. And with Nevada's total exports exceeding one billion dollars in 1999 alone, our local businesses stand to benefit as the Taiwanese market continues to prosper and expand," Lt. Governor of Nevada Hunt pointed out in Taipei.*7

"The Nevada Commission on Tourism believes it is vital to establish a presence in Taiwan in order to represent our tourism destinations to this emerging world travel market. Taiwan's capital, Taipei, has a working population of four million, with a youthful, technologically oriented work force. There is tremendous potential for building tourism among this sector," said Hunt.*8

"Similar to the new direction of the government in Taiwan, we are seeking new horizons for the economy of Nevada. Building mutally beneficial relationships with Taiwan, and other foreign countries, will create the demand for direct, regularly scheduled flights. Our work will help Nevada establish contacts for lucrative business and convention visitors from around the world that will form the foundation for a new pillar in the Nevada economy."*9

The American dream realized by U. S. Senator John Ensign and his great grandfather
By GSBPA of WBTI*1

"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 inspire 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. "I am delighted and honored to be appointed as an Associate Fellow of the Public Administration Institution of Washington Business and Technology Institute.

A paper published by the International Conference on Technology
and Education inspired experience for the Implementation of
Computer Education in Asian Public Schools
By Tiffany Chang

The following is the main context of a papper by Dr. Tony T. Lei after his research of the implementation of computer education in U. S. public schools. The former paper on the computer education in U. S. public schools was published by the International Conference on Technology and Education for its ICTE New Orleans 1996 Conference:

"To implemente computer education to public schools has been very interested by several Asian countries. In this era, there are three ingredients for a successful economy and business in the knowledge economy world: (1) continually advancng technology, (2) entrepreneurship, and (3) innovation. To learn and to imitate is one of the practical ways fo entrepreneurship. By following this philosophy, American experience and practice may play an important role to increase the possibility of success for the implementation of computer education in Asia.

A study has tried to discuss several major pitfalls that have prevented planned changes in computer education from being successful. To cope with those obstacles, Agoura High School had a successful experience in implementing compute education. Research result revealed that the computer group surpassed the non-computer group in post-test mathematics scores after they were adjusted for initial differences in pre-test mathematics scores and for actual days of attendance. Microcomputes has been considered to be an effective tools for learning by Agoura High.

The following pitfalls were the reasons why funds were ceased fo its ineffectiveness of the implementation of computer education though superficial success was reported by East Vermont Elementay School:

(1) Ineffective Communication
Teachers who were responsible for the implementation of the change were not informed adequately and fully. Institutional members wee mostly lacking clarity about the change that they were being requested to implement. More than half of the teachers influenced by the innovation did not have a clear image of the role play and work performance expected of them.

(2) Lack of Developed Constituencies
Before the implementing of the computer class, few effort was devoted to establish constituencies, neither it was there during the implementing. The high frequency of fail in efforts at change could in part be attibuted to the failure to see teacher as a constituency.

(3) Ignorance of the Organizational Dynamics
A review of the Vermont's story could let us know that one of the obstacles was that organizational conditions existing prior to and during the innovation's introduction were imcompatible with the innovation. Information were not provided by management in advance concerning the change, the need for it, and the way in which it would influence the people involved.

(4) Lack of Effective Evaluation
There was no formative evaluation before the implementation of the computer class program. Summative evaluation was also weak without the using of any proper achievement test.

In short, there is no doubt for us to agree that pitfalls must be considered in implementing and sustaining changes in a public school."

Dr. Tony Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute, pointed out, "Computer education has been an urgent need for many schools in Asia. It is clever for us to learn entrepreneurship which has brought America the leading, prosperous, and advanced country in this world. It will help our implementation of the computer education better by using entrepreneurship with modern knowledge and technology."
