If I called you on the phone and said, "Please name the most productive professor you know," you would be able to answer that question with at least one name immediately. It is likely that you would start to think about (or even ask me), "Do you mean in teaching?" or "Do you mean in writing?" or "Do you mean the most productive overall?" or "What do you mean by productive?"

But we aren't having that conversation by phone. Instead, I am just going to prompt you to start to make a list of the faculty members you know - either currently, from when you were in graduate school, or just by reputation - who would be considered productive. Consider the following categories in making your list (because you really are going to write down these people's names):

1. Teaching - Who are the people you know who are not only excellent teachers but they seem to "have it together" related to their teaching. Their materials are organized, they do not look harried on the way to (or from) class, and they seem to have a flow about how they plan for and manage their teaching throughout the term.
2. Research - Who are the people you know who manage their research in such a way that they are highly productive and yet still reasonably pleasant to be around? [Note: I had to add that last part because you don't want to be one of the people who is productive in research but so stressed out, crazed, and unpleasant that they are unbearable to be around.] You can choose to write down the names of people who are in the same field as you are or the names of people who seem to be managing their research productively in other fields. We all have plenty to learn from one another (even those who are different from us!)
3. Service/Outreach - This category is called by many different names and whatever it is called at your college/university, think about who seems to be productive related to their service. Who seems to be on the committees that are "high yield" (as my friend Dr. Melissa P called them) vs. committees that are "low yield?" Who are the people who are of service to the institution and the community and yet it has not consumed their entire life? You want to write down one or two names here.

So, once you have a list of 3 - 10 names, now what should you do? You should figure out who to contact first - and then contact that person within the week. Either make a phone call, send an email, ask for a walk-around-campus-with-a-cup-of-coffee meeting, or whatever makes the most sense. Then tell him or her why you have requested their expertise. You will find that people who are noted as being productive are honored that someone else has noticed and would be interested in learning some of their secrets.

Then listen VERY carefully and see what you can put into practice.

In about ten days, contact the next person on your list...and so on.

Where is Excel® Used?

Whether you work at an accounting firm, a marketing company, an auto dealership, a school attendance office, a manufacturing plant’s human resources department, or an office associated with city, county, state or federal government, chances are, you’ll be called upon to use and learn Excel.

Just about every workplace has a demand for Excel, the computing world’s most commonly used software program for comparative data analysis. Excel has been available in various incarnations for more than a decade. Each subsequent release takes the program to new territory.

Popularly known as the best spreadsheet program on the market, Excel is powerful, easy to use, and remarkably efficient. Excel is highly interactive. Its spreadsheet cells are arranged in a collection of rows and columns, each of which can hold a number, a text string, or a formula that performs a function, such as calculation. It’s easy to copy and move cells as well as modify formulas. The spreadsheet is displayed on the computer screen in a scrollable window that allows the document to be as deep or as wide as required.

Working for a major newspaper in Northern California, I was one of several reporters involved in the annual evaluation of our county’s economy. The job involved collecting data that would be punched into Excel spreadsheets that ultimately ranked information according to the category of statistics being reviewed.

The beauty of Excel, from the standpoint of newspaper research projects, is that you can use formulas to recalculate results by changing any of the cells they use. With this model, you can use the same spreadsheet data to achieve various results by simply defining and changing formulas as desired. It is this feature that makes Excel so useful in so many different arenas.

With a click of the mouse, we reporters were able to get answers to a wide variety of questions. Which employers had the greatest number of workers? Which ones had the highest amount of gross annual receipts? Which ones appeared to be growing and which ones had declining sales? What was the volume of real estate loans and had there been a decline or increase from the previous year?

We looked at local and national retail, services, financial institutions, government entities, agriculture, the wine industry, tourism and hospitality, manufacturing, residential and commercial real estate, everything imaginable.

Excel allowed us to examine ratios, percentages, and anything else we wanted to scrutinize. Finally, we were able to use Excel to compare the results to data from previous years.

Since reporters tend to be former English majors, most of those who worked on this annual project were more familiar with Microsoft® Word than any other software program. Therefore, most were required to undergo Excel training. For some, learning Excel was easier than for others. A few relied on guides such as Microsoft Excel Bible or Excel for Dummies. Some reporters underwent an Excel tutorial while others learned by doing.

Not only were the Excel spreadsheets crucial to the research, the format of each was published in the newspaper. Here is where some additional Excel functions came into play. Editors were able to make the spreadsheets more visually appealing by using colors and shading, borders and lines, and other features that made the spreadsheets easy for readers to decipher.

Wearing another of my several hats in the newsroom, I often wrote articles concerning the local job market. I found proficiency in Excel was a requirement for a wide variety of employment positions and that area recruiting firms offered their clients opportunities to take free or low-cost Excel tutorials in preparation for the workplace. Most employers expect job candidates to already know the software that the work will require and don’t want to have to train new hires.

Don’t kid yourself. If you’re seeking any kind of office work, you’ll need to know not only Microsoft Word but also Excel.

Signal Strength Is Excellent, but Activity Bytes Sent/Received is Only in the 100's after hours? 10 points B/A?

Alright, I have a laptop, it has built in wireless. I've had it since 2004. I have had it reformatted once to clean it up in 2007. It has always worked good, except I have been having some problems the last couple months. It was working fine, hooked up to the wireless at my house, internet was fine, everything was going good. Except about 3 months ago, it would not connect to the internet, but then it went back to normal and it was running like it was before. Now, about 2 weeks ago, it says that the Wireless Network Connection Signal Strength is excellent, but the activity with the bytes being sent only goes up to like 100 after running for like a couple hours. Like all my other computers in my house work fine, they get like 18,000,000 bytes sent and 135,384,043 received. I keep my laptop on my table in the same spot, and it has worked fine before. Anyone know what the problem might be??? And how I can fix it???
Thanks!
10 points to best answer!

Try searching the internet for network drivers, download and install them see if that does the trick

Hope this helps

Packed with excellent performances
Over the past year EMI has been packaging choice items from its catalogue of 20th-century music into mid-priced anthologies, each devoted to a single composer. They've been pretty comprehensive, including not only more popular names like Ravel and Prokofiev, but less widely-appreciated artists like Stockhausen and Dutilleux.
