When the economy is in a rough patch a good idea is to go back to school. We want you to get program information for the USC Rossier School of Education’s MAT@USC offers current educators and aspiring teachers the prestige of earning a Master of Arts in Teaching degree from an elite research university with the convenience and flexibility of studying online. This is even better as teaching is one of those professions that is understaffed all across the nation. There can never be enough good math and science teachers and this is a great way to have a highly interactive online learning combined with field-based experiences. The Rossier and the MAT@USC were awarded by AACTE for innovative use of technology in education. Right now you can earn a Master of Arts in Teaching degree from an internationally renowned research institution with a 100-year history of educating teachers to be agents of change. This is a great opportunity to learn from distinguished USC faculty recognized for their contributions to modern education. Imagine that you could use this to become a Full USC student status and all the benefits from that association. This is not just a satellite program as you will have participation in commencement ceremonies and free lifetime Alumni Association memberships. Do not miss this opportunity to become part of the elite USC Trojan Family.

Office 2010 Documents Thumbnail

We only have a couple of users that are running Office 2010. The interface is pretty slick and if you have used Office 2007 it is an easy transition. One of the neat features we like is the saving of documents using thumbnails so they are easily identified. There is a lot of advancements for 2010 but this one is a quick deploy and most users have seemed to welcome the change. When we deployed 2007 there was a lot of hue and cry about the ribbon and missing the toolbar. We feel that our users have adapted and this is no longer an issue.

We think that if you have many documents in a folder, it is hard to figure out which document is the one are looking for. In 2010 you can display your documents with a thumbnail, this makes them easier when searching for and it is super to set up.

Most of our users have folders that are full with documents. Changing to the thumbnail actually becomes a very useful way for identifying what a document is about.

Open your word document.
Go to File
Save As.
Save As window, will open
Check Save Thumbnail
Click Save.

Then when you are in your documents folder, right click in an empty space
choose View Extra large icons.

Outlook PST file corruption

admin — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 00:33:07 +0000

We have many users with corrupt pst files as it is a fairly common occurrence. We use the Microsoft utilities when it happens. They are called the Inbox Repair Tool and the Oversized OST and PST Crop Utility. First you need to make a backup of even the corrupted file. The Inbox Repair Tool does not always work on every PST file. It attempts to repairs the PST file’s header and then deleting anything in the file that it doesn’t understand. So if a PST file’s header is damaged, but if the data within the file is corrupt, the Inbox Repair Tool will likely destroy what’s left of the file. That’s why it’s always good to make a backup of the PST file before running the Inbox Repair Tool. We usually have the most success using the Oversized PST and OST Crop Utility. The crop utility works by deleting about 25 MB of data from the file to bring the file back within specs. Use this tool as a last resort, because you can’t control what data you lose when using it. Because of its destructive nature, the tool is unavailable for download. You can only acquire the tool by calling Microsoft’s Product Support Service line at 800-936-4900. Microsoft charges about $200 for calls to this number, and when you call, an operator will ask you for a credit card number. According to numerous sources, if you explain to the operator that you just need a copy of the Oversized PST And OST Crop Utility, but don’t need help using the tool, you can get the tool without being billed. You can get more detailed information from Microsoft by reading these Knowledge Base articles: Q197315 and Q296088.

The cost of sending sales on junkets is getting more expensive. As a small business you cannot afford those high price points of video conferencing solutions from the major brands, like Polycom, Tandberg, and Radvision. The other side is when you are trying to make sales using low quality of video calling experience could impact on the results for video conferencing. We have been looking at the faceVision on line store at the faceVsion FV Express Combo as it is the most affordable high quality personal HD video conferencing solution for all. We know that consumer graded HD webcams, such as Microsoft Cinema and Logitech Pro 9000, sold in the market cannot stream high resolution quality over Internet. We know that HD quality internet video calls using these models cannot transfer over the internet. The best route to keep cost down and use faceVsion Technology USA. The FV Express Combo product will keep both finance and sales happy. We think the FV Express Combo HD Video Conferencing solution will enable sales to perform at the highest level. They will only need a Google Gmail account and FV Express Combo, they will then have the power to make HD video calls over the internet. Right now there is an on-going promotion with $10 off any purchase, using the promo code of FVTBTS2 while checkout act fast as this ends on 09/30/10. You can get your FV Express Combo or check it out as it is available through shop.facevsion.com and other value added partners.
