"To gain trust, you have to give trust. As sappy as that sounds --- and it sounds like a gurgling vat of maple syrup --- it's the basis of all successful professional relationships," wrote Rosanne Badowski.*1
The Titus 2:7-8 of Bible tells us that, "In everything set ...an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemmed."*2
In meeting with the large and growing population of public employees in the states of Asia and Nevada, Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) will open its training programs for the increasing graduate study and research needs of professional public administrators. To emphasize the balance of the practicality and theoraticality of the programs, the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of WBTI has supported by many high-ranking officials of Nevada in offering their times, experiences, and knowledge to teach at an honorary or adjunct capacity.*3
"Through the recommendation by our several faculty members including District Judge Valorie Vega, Ms. Jackie Glass has been appointed Adjunct Associate Professor of the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) on March 9, 2004," announced Dr. John Wang, Spokesman of WBTI, on March 10, 2004 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Following the spirit of entrepreneurship, Jackie Glass has always been willing to take a challenge head on. Now she is on her challenge!
While still in high school, Jackie worked as a waitress to help buy her school supplies and school clothes. When she decided to attend the University of Georgia, she continued as a waitress and worked her way through college. She took on extracurricular assignments, and earned a degree in journalism.
Her journalism career brought Jackie to Las Vegas in 1978 where she began as a radio news reporter. She moved quickly to television and served as both a morning anchor and crime beat reporter. As she followed the course of the trials she covered, she watched attorneys in action, and knew she could do as well. A new challenge lay before her.
Once again, she worked her way through college, graduating from the University of San Diego School of Law. In 1984, Jackie passed the Nevada Bar exam before graduation, received her Juris Doctor Degree,*4 was admitted to the Nevada Bar, and married her husband, Steve Wolfson.
With her husband, Jackie worked to build their successful law practice while helping at her daughters' school, chaperoning field trips to Washington, DC, supporting the Girl Scouts and projects such as Nevada Reading Week.
On the professional side, Jackie has lectured at the UNLV Boyd School of Law, spoke on law topics at local high schools, and appeared on the KLVX show, "Law for the Layman". She has devoted years as a hearing master to juvenile, domestic and paternity issues as well as criminal law.
She credits her seventeen years of legal experience and her work as a journalist on the crime beat for giving her an insight for the law, the role of the judiciary, the needs of victims, and for ways to make our system work better.
She served as a member of the Las Vegas Housing Authority Board and spent six years as a Board Member of the Senior Citizens Law Project.
As a District Court Judge of Department 5, Nevada, Jackie Glass is part of a new generation involved with her family, her profession and her community to make a difference for all of us here in our Silver State.
People with integrity live with clear consciences. "To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice," stated in the Proverbs 21:3 of Bible.*5
"I agree with Judge Valorie Vega's idea to be honored as a Fellow of the Public Administration Institution (PAI) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI). She wrote: 'It will undoubtedly provide me with avenuess for exploring improvements in public services to which I am most dedicated.' I'm glad also to share the similar position as its faculty member--- Obligatory Legal Counselor of Pan Pacific and Asian American Forum (PPAAF).
"It's significant. Dr. Tony Lei told me that for community service --- that based on 'love in action is service above self' --- the abundanct reward from one's humune love, spiritual excellence, and professionalism of expertise are far more greater than solely his or her title," said Jackie Glass, Esq. on April 18, 2002. Jackie is now a famous District Judge of Nevada.*6
On March 9, 2004 at the Event and Dinner Party held by the Asian American Community for Ms. Ellen Knowlton, Special Agent in Charge, FBI, as the Speaker; Jackie was very pleased to learn from Dr. Tony Lei, President of WBTI, that she was challenged with a teaching professionalism in the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration of WBTI for our community at an adjucnt capacity.*7
"As a bridge between the business and university, the integrity of community service and academic research of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) will help Nevada go advance for the cooperation and development in education, business, and culture among international countries. As an Adjunct Associate Professor of the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of WBTI, it's my pleasure to extend my knowledge, experience, and professionalism in public service for community and education at the adjunct capacity,"*8 said Jackie Glass, District Judge of Nevada, at the event and dinner party by Unity Council of Nevada in Lindo Michoacan Mexican Restaurant on April 28, 2004 in Las Vegas.*9

Lee Bernick and Keong Leong were appointed as Deans of the School by WBTI on March 11, 2003.

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
