Michigan legislators defy unions, OK right-to-work bill
LANSING, Mich. — In an audacious flex of political muscle, Republicans in a single day reached the brink of a goal that for years has seemed an all-but-impossible dream: making the labor bastion of Michigan a right-to-work state.
The GOP majority used its superior numbers and backing from Gov. Rick Snyder to ramrod legislation through the House and Senate on Thursday, brushing aside denunciations and walkouts by helpless Democrats and cries of outrage from union activists who swarmed the state Capitol hallways and grounds. At one point, police used pepper spray to subdue demonstrators who tried to rush the Senate chamber.

When I'm working on a project in XNA I copy the using statements from file to file. However, on tutorials I've seen for various games, they show files that only have specific using statements used. Do the other statements cause problems in the event the program doesn't need it?
I want to avoid any future problems.

Are you interested in a new Blackberry phone?
With Android and Apple fighting over the cell phone market, is there a place for RIM Blackberry? Would you be interested in getting one?
8 Answers answer
No. Keyboard instead of bigger screen? Pass.
Good question, though. I'm curious to see if we have any takers on the RIM.
With what is on the market right now? No.
In a few years, when the average phones are huge (most of the LTE phones are already too big for my taste) and try to be too much and I just want a good phone with a few standard features.. maybe then.
FYI I am a former crackberry addict- those phones were the best phones and email-tenders I have ever had, but outside of those two arenas they were pretty sloppy.
I loved my Blackberry...notice the past tense. From cutting edge to road kill by not changing with the times.
For awhile it was the only smartphone able to work consistently here in middleofnowhere SC. Since this is no longer the case, and I can do SO MUCH MORE with my Droid3, nope...
RIM has a ways to go before winning me back.
Opens up coat Because I have a great selection here, cheap...
Interesting. I went back to my old blackberry, after using an Android phone for about six months. I had no idea how much I missed it until I switched back. I don't want or need the apps that come stock on an Android (and that every single service provider wants you to have anyway). About the only thing I found useful that I regret not having was the ability for the Android to replace the GPS. That's it.
I like the keyboard, and although I had a keyboard on my Android, it was annoying to have so much of the functionality locked in to the touch screen. I might have tolerated the Android if I could have had one that I could just use the keyboard, but it was the final straw (for me), and I went back. When I called T Mobile to say I wanted to switch back, I got a two second pause while the person helping me picked up the official instructions. Apparently I'm not alone. ;-}
I'll replace this BB down the road with another one, esp now that they've refocused on the business user.
I figure Blackberry is on their way out because they have been left behind, so no, I would not get a Blackberry.
I have owned Blackberries. I hate them as a phone. They truly suck, so no, I would not be interested in a new one.
On the other hand... Blackberry cobbler does sound wonderful and tasty.
I have a Blackberry through my job and I can't wait til our renewal comes around so I can snag an iPhone. I like having a keyboard, but apps are severely overpriced (there's one that adds the simple feature of text message reminder alerts and it's like $10!) and others are just really poor (Yelp and Facebook). Since you can get Droids with keyboards I don't know what the advantage of BB is.

I have a 4 1/2 yr old. We're at the stage where he's definitely finicky over foods. The issue is not so much that he's finicky, but that he expresses it by taking a bite and then mock choking. I am trying to convey that choking is a very bad way to convey this. Sure, I'd love to fix the "I don't want to eat this" problem, but right now I'm more concerned about the mock choking as a way of expression.
One answer could be a serious reaction to mock-choking. What would you do if your child really choked on food? You'd probably act fast and not in an entirely funny manner. Also, you'd have a seriously concerned face. "This time it looked like you really were choking! I was afraid!"
The important point is to be serious, not mock-serious. Also, does he know the tale about the boy that cried wolf every time? Mention it, and he'll make a connection, I suspect.
As a counter-point to @9000's suggestion, try ignoring him completely (assuming you can tell the difference between mock and not!). Most behaviours such are a method of garnering attention.
But whatever you do, only choose one course of action, don't confuse him by switching between the two.
This is very serious. I would treat every apparent "choke" as real choking (as 9000 says). If it turned out to be fake after the fact, I think it would constitute some discipline. Basically your child is faking something that could kill them. I think some time out or whatever discipline you practice would be appropriate.
You need to make sure you are responding to his "I don't want to eat that" then. Otherwise, you've left him with no choice but to up the ante.

After suffering through a rough 10-1 defeat at Blue Valley North Friday, the Lansing softball team battled back in game two to hold a late lead.
However, the Lady Lions couldn't hold on to the advantage and eventually lost 6-5.
"They came back in the sixth and got up one on us," Lansing coach Valerie Chapple said. "The second game we showed the ball that we are capable of playing and I hope we can bring that attitude to every game from here on out."
McKenzie Hersh and Shannon Daze recorded the two pitching losses.
Chapple highlighted the entire team as offensive leaders in game two. Lansing, 3-7, will be at Basehor Tuesday for a 6 p.m. contest.

GWT Technical Questions
Hi Folks,
We are looking into Ext GWT for a new project. I just had some simple technical questions.
1) What versions of GWT does the Ext GWT 2.x branch support/require.
2) Same question for the Ext GWT 3.x branch (I know this is still in beta).
28 Mar 2012 9:15 AM #2
Ext GWT 2.2.5 can work with GWT 1.7 and up - it has three different jars for different version of GWT:
* gxt-2.2.5-gwt17.jar works with GWT 1.7
* gxt-2.2.5-gwt2.jar works with GWT 2.0-2.1
* gxt-2.2.5-gwt22.jar works with 2.2 and onwards
Ext GWT 3.0.0 is taking advantage of new features and bug fixes made available as part of GWT 2.4.0, and the beta only supports that, but has been tested against GWT trunk, so it is expected to work with future versions of GWT as well.

I'm thinking of upgrading my Nikon D40, what would you suggest is the best one up from this?
Don't upgrade unless you have a specific issue with the D40 like number of pixs, burst rate e.t.c.
It's still a great camera and deserves to click until it dies.
The D90 is an excellent camera, and much less expensive now that the D7000 has been announced (and it starts shipping next week).
The D7000 has some amazing specs, but hasn't been reviewed thoroughly yet.
If you want to stay DX, I'd say those are your best bets.
You can get a pretty great upgrade for between $700 and $1200. Spend the rest of your money on new lenses!
The D40 is already a very good camera in terms of image quality.
If you think you have reached the limits of the D40 in terms of the feature set, then waiting a little bit for the D7000 would be a good idea, but it's a lot more expensive.
Upgrading to the D3100 would also be a solution, if you are looking to do movies. You would also get an minor upgrade on image quality (low noise performance).
If you are not sure why you need to upgrade, I would suggest that would invest your money in a quality lens (instead of investing in a new body). For example, the 35mm f1.8 DX. In general lenses are better investment than bodies, because they last much longer.
The D40 is still classed as one of the best Nikons for a long time - if you don't have a particular problem with your existing one stick with it and buy some nice fast lenses instead.
If you are having issues - I tried for D5000 and went for the D90 about a year ago. Although it has now been replaced by the D7000 it is still a very good camera for your money. I am shooting a lot of portraits with my D90 and a 2nd hand 35.70mm 2.8. I am still debating myself whether to go full frame as at the moment I am very happy with the images I am getting on my D90.
Good luck :-)
We can't answer this without know what issue of limitation your are finding with your current set. Even then, it may not be the camera. A lens for example can have more impact on quality and versatility than an incremental camera upgrade.
Once you decide what you want to improve, you can start looking at different cameras and can even search for cameras based on their features. For example:
In addition to the excellent advice above... I have the D40 for 3 years now. Every time I get the urge to replace it, I search flickr for D40 and see the awesome pictures that are possible with this camera. That pushes me to get better at photography and be less concerned with gear.
I was looking for a new Nikon not so long ago. When I was looking the range included:
All of which have been discontinued and will soon be replaced. This may mean that you can get them cheaper (though stock is running out of certain models).
Personally I found the D3000 to basic so I was stuck how to choose between the D90 and D5000.
I went for the D5000 and have been really happy with it. The only downside is the lack of motor in the body meaning more expensive lenses.
The Nikon D7000 is a hell of a camera, and the way to go if you're willing to get a more advanced camera, but micro 4/3 cameras (Panasonic GF1 or Olympus PEN) could be an interesting alternative (depending on how you use the camera): great image quality, small size and interchangeable lenses.

Budget math doesn't add up
Well, knock us over with a feather. Did the news media really call out Gov. Dannel P. Malloy for claiming his biennial budget proposal cuts spending by more than $1.8 billion when it actually raises it $1.9 billion?
For once, the media did the math. The 2012-13 budget spends $20.4 billion; in 2013-14, Gov. Malloy proposes $22.3 billion. That may be more than $1.8 billion less than government was supposed to spend. But it's $1.9 billion more than this year, and it's billions more than the state can afford.

(CNN) – Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana fiercely shot back at Mitt Romney's claim Wednesday that President Barack Obama outmatched the 2012 Republican presidential nominee by offering "gifts" to African-Americans, Hispanics and young voters.
"I absolutely reject that notion," Jindal, who was a surrogate for Romney's campaign, said at the Republican Governors Association conference in Las Vegas. "I think that's absolutely wrong."
"I don't think that represents where we are as a party and where we're going as a party," he continued. "That has got to be one of the most fundamental takeaways from this election."
Romney made the comments on a call with top donors Wednesday afternoon, various news outlets have reported. The former Massachusetts governor also made similar arguments on a separate call earlier in the morning, CNN confirmed.
"What the president, president's campaign did was focus on certain members of his base coalition, give them extraordinary financial gifts from the government, and then work very aggressively to turn them out to vote," Romney said in the afternoon call.
Romney, who lost to Obama by 126 electoral votes, said the president courted voters by offering policies - some of them this election year - that appealed to key constituencies.
"With regards to the young people, for instance, a forgiveness of college loan interest, was a big gift," Romney said, according to The New York Times.
"Free contraceptives were very big with young college-aged women," he continued. "And then, finally, Obamacare also made a difference for them, because as you know, anybody now 26 years of age and younger was now going to be part of their parents' plan, and that was a big gift to young people. They turned out in large numbers, a larger share in this election even than in 2008."
The president's health care reform plan, he added, also brought out support from African Americans and Hispanic voters.
"You can imagine for somebody making $25,000 or $30,000 or $35,000 a year, being told you're now going to get free health care, particularly if you don't have it, getting free health care worth, what, $10,000 per family, in perpetuity, I mean, this is huge," he said. "Likewise with Hispanic voters, free health care was a big plus. But in addition with regards to Hispanic voters, the amnesty for children of illegals, the so-called Dream Act kids, was a huge plus for that voting group."
But Jindal, when asked about Romney's remarks, said in order for the GOP to be "competitive," it has to "go after 100 percent of the votes, not 53 percent. We need to go after every single vote."
Jindal's criticism seemed to take latent swipes at Romney's "47%" comments that were secretly recorded earlier this year. At a May fund-raiser, Romney argued that nearly half of Americans were "victims" who were "dependent" on the government. Those voters, he argued, sided with Obama.
A spokesperson for Romney, who has stayed away from the public spotlight since losing the election last week, did not return a request for comment about the call.
Romney had another call Wednesday morning with a couple dozen people who were part of the financial leadership of his campaign, but he did not make the same "gifts" comment.
The former nominee did say on that call that he really respected how the Obama administration was able to "craft" specific policies that ended up attracting the support of key demographic groups. He mentioned contraceptive coverage, as well as student loan policies that were important for young adults, according to one participant on the call.
He said he was sorry and disappointed that he lost but added his team had put everything it could into the election.
"We didn't leave anything on the field," one donor on the call told CNN.
He talked about how turnout was a lot lower this year, mentioning how the president got fewer votes than he did four years ago and that he got less than the 2008 Republican nominee, John McCain, received.
Romney told the donors he wanted to stay involved in public policy in some form, but he did not provide any details. Romney's remarks come after top Republicans in recent days have pushed for a bigger tent party, saying the GOP learned this election that it has work to do in terms of demographic changes.
"We've got to be a lot more inclusive and open and energetic and wanting people to join our team by expressing why these conservative values are good for people of all races, creeds, colors, and national origin," Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, previously a top surrogate for Romney, said last week on CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront."
"We've just got to do a better job with that," said McDonnell.
In the presidential race, Obama won 93% of the African-American vote, 71% of the Latino vote and 60% of those between the ages of 18 and 29. Romney, meanwhile, took 59% of the white voting bloc, according to CNN exit polls.
On the Democratic side, women and minorities made historic gains this election. For the first time, women and minorities will outnumber male Democrats in the House of Representatives. The U.S. Senate will have a record number of women – 20 - when the 113th Congress convenes in January.
Romney, on the 20-minute call, said he was "disappointed" with the final election tally and "hadn't anticipated it." Looking ahead, Romney said the party is "still so troubled by the past (that) it's hard to put together our plans for the future," according to The Los Angeles Times, which also appeared to be on the call.
Speaking to the donors, Romney praised them for their success in fundraising and suggested they help with "perhaps the selection of a future nominee - which, by the way, will not be me."

Life's a journey - not a destination
And I just can't tell just what tomorrow brings.

Run - for your destination,
Fly - to the sun,
Don't give a damn, what a people may say!

Lorek Okleth: The path of a Jedi
Episode 1: The Lost Child
The human tradesman Kylon Dell had just pulled Last Hope out of hyperspace, having detected a small freighter drifting that was sending out a distress signal. Odd that the imperial patrols had not picked up on this sooner. No matter, he swung the YT 1300 toward the freighter, grabbing the intercom and calling into it Sa-Rah get up here honey, looks like we got something we should look into.. better hurry up too, before the empire comes in and ruins the party. The young woman came into the cockpit, sitting herself next to her husband, as he looked over the scanners, raising an eyebrow looks like ion blasts damaged the engines.. ship is intact.. cant get a clear reading on life forms though.. you think we will find survivors?. Kylon nodded, muttering Lets hope damn space pirates, can never be safe these days.. even with Imperial patrols, they got a lot of nerve what are we paying taxes for anyway?. He watched through the window of the cockpit as they steadily approached the freighter, and he began the docking procedures
Dead bodies had littered the interior of the other ship. According to the computer, this freighter was headed for Coruscant, and 12 of the 22 passengers were unaccounted for, probably taken as slaves by the pirates. Whatever cargo they had been carrying, it was gone. They had all but given up on searching for survivors.. when suddenly they heard something . It sounded like a child weeping. They found a hidden cargospace under the seats in the cockpit there within, was a young boy of 6 years old, sitting in there, his little angelic copper brown eyes liquidly with tears, cheeks smeered, his short golden brown hair was tosseled and left in a mess. He looked up towards Kylon then passed out from blood loss. He sat next to some odd electronic safe. Cross referencing him with the passengerlist, they found him to be the only child on the ship, and his name was Lorek Okleth. Without hesitation, they took him into their ship along with the safe, and flew off.. leaving the rest for the imperial patrols to handle
Episode 2: The Past Wrongs
Kylon had worked weeks on getting that damn safe cracked and it wasnt getting any easier. Finally, through a stroke of luck, he had cracked the safe, and then something odd happened. It flipped open, and a soft human male voice was heard Lorek, when you are hearing this, it means you have come of age, and you may or may not have the gift. Me and your mother would like you to know of your heritage, and give you this gift, a family heirloom to either use in the name of good and correct the past wrongs that have tainted our family for four millenia, or as a gift to pass on to your children the sound of electronics activating along with a soft hum, as a compartment opened, and a silver cylinder with black gripping and a bronze plate on it depicting some odd symbol was elevated out of the safe. Kylon blinked, and didnt recognise it but he realised one thing.. he had made a mistake. This was truly Loreks and if they were planning on keeping him, raising him as their own child, which he had spoken with Sa-Rah about, then he had to relock this safe, and keep it for Lorek.. and that was just what he did Unfortunately, as he tried, the safe malfunctioned, and the audio recording was lost .
Episode 3: Young Lorek
Growing up was not always easy for Lorek in his youth. He had always carried a sad, distant look in those icy cool ocean blue eyes of his, and didnt always get along with other children. Sa-Rah loved him as her own sun, and the Dells had taken him in as their own child, raising him as best they could.. but it was always his eyes that bothered them. Those little eyes, that seemed to stare out, and accuse the world of wronging him so by stealing his identity, stealing his parents from him. He eventually began to accumulate an interest for all sorts of sports, just to go and take his mind off his own sadness. He played well in teams, and had a raw athletic potential that was rare. He grew with the love that was given him, and he loved his adoptive parents completely. He grew healthy, and strong wiry, and with the grace of a feline. Something within him, maybe it was just his genes, or the immense activities in sports, but whatever it was, it gave him amazing athletic potential. He began being taught how to pilot. His eyes where like all of his race providing him with peripheral vision of great length and great sight at night. He was scorned and shunned treated like a freak at the different little schools he went to and he could not help but wish maybe he was just human. He had is right wing replaced with a mechanical wing that was made lightweight and attached to the nervous system of his spine providing him with good aerial maunveribility. It would take some time to get used to but he eventually learned to like it. On his 9th birthday his mother developed a strap like suspenders that hooked on to him and made his wings kind of folded down and be hidden with in a kind of a space aged trench coat with 2 slits in the back that if he had to he just pressed a small round button on his belt and his wings would slide out of the coat. His right wing was painted a golden brown and gray to make it looks more like his real feathered one. He had a friend who could draw real well. He would also try to help his parents out by keeping inventory for them, and from those countless hours of pushing heavily loaded repulsor lifts, and having to sometimes to heave the crates himself into place, he became decent muscles and so those young years flew by and he became a teenager . And it was in his teens, that his life began to change
Episode 4: The Force is in Him
It began innocently.. small objects would get knocked off shelves in his passing without him touching them.. or his reflexes being almost above human. But then more objects began to fall, or get tossed across the room when Lorek would get frustrated. His adoptive parents began to fear for him, as they knew what the Empire did with those that were talented in the Force. They began to hide him from company, not taking him anymore on cargo runs not wanting the imperial patrol to catch him and take him from them. Finally, it was by chance, that on a far off space station on the outer rim, that they met a Jedi Knight.. a rogue that had managed to escape the empires wrath. He seemed but an old man with a grey beard, but he promised to take care of Lorek. His name was Logan Keel, and he wise gentle grey eyes, and an easy smile. They brought him to Lorek, the young Okleth was 15 at the time, and slowly developing into a handsome young man. It was then.. that Kylon revealed to Lorek the treasure chest .
Kylon and Sa-Rah had called Lorek in to meet Logan in the dining room. Supper was ready, and the odd safe was placed in the middle of it all. The young Lorek walked into the room, with those haunted sad eyes of his, as he took his seat, smilling as he looked to his parents, speaking softly Mama, Papa, who is that man?. Kylon answered softly Someone who can help you Lorek this man is Logan Keel, a Jedi Knight . Logan nodded, giving the youth a warm smile. Lorek blinked, adding but.. Jedi arent they bad?. Logan shook his head, smilling softly unfortunately, sometimes good and evil are a mater of perspective. No, we are not.. we used to be the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy.. and now, we are but rogues, fleeing for our lives . Kylon opened the safe for Lorek, adding We found this with you Lorek.. your parents would want you to have it. Logan watched, he already knew the contents of the safe, and he recognised the name Okleth, but this young boy had so much potential, and when Kylon had told him what the message had said, he insisted on training the boy. Lorek picked up the medallion in his hands and studied it. Something weird happened and the medallion began to glow orange and then Lorek screamed as it burnt the symbol onto his hand. When the medallion finely finished burning it dissolved into a soft dust. Lorek stared at his his hand and the weird symbol that was shaped with a V and an eye in the center of the V with 4 lightsaber surrounding the V making a sort of square like circle around it.
Chapter 5: Pain is but a Memory
Lorek was in a flight simulator practicing flying an x wing and doing really well at it when there ship was hit by an ion blast and the simulator shorted out giving him a nasty stun and sent him flying to the floor. He watched as his mother and father scrambled to get control of the ship. They started to get pulled into the enemy Star Destroyer by a tractor beam. The second they where boarded his dad opened fire open some storm troopers and his mother joined in with a blaster rifle. 23 dead storm troopers later his mother and dad where shot and killed in the crossfire as more troopers flooded the hangar. Logan sighed and smiled to lorek and then ignited his saber and rushed forward. Lorek rann outside using the blaster rifle as best he could and then he heard a voice in his head as well as a feeling in his gut your destiny is a lot more important then some old fossilised jedi. Steal a Tie fighter and make it Kashykk and you will know what to do from there. Rember the Shun-Chien Martial arts fighting style along with the Mieng-Kra medition rituals and you will soon find your way in this world long Lorek.. May the force be with you. Lorek did as he was told and managed to escape the hangar and only sustain minimal damage to the tie fighter. He had no idea what happened to Logan but assumed that he had died in the fight with some storm troopers.
He crash landed on kashykk and managed to bum around from cantina to cantina making money as best he could until he befriended a wookie names SpewBacca. The wookie taught him a lot about mechanical engineering and Lorek relised what a genius this wookie was and then decided they should be friends. They hung out for the better part of 9 months until Lorek caught a luck break and was hired at the age of 16 to be a copilot on a small transport delivering Cerzka Mining Equipment to Magrok 4. A small gas planet in the outer rims. When he came back from the trip he realised that his wookie friend had gone missing and he knew how uncharacteristic it was of spew because he would never miss Loreks Birthday. So he spent all the credits he had and threw on his special coat and took his backpack with a few supplies of food in it and some glow rods and is heading to Dantooian where he heard the last ship that left the planet was headed to with his friend.
Now having no ship made it very hard on Lorek because he knew how good a pilot he was and how good at some martial arts he was but if he was going to make it in this galaxy he would have to find himself an X-wing since that is what he had the most experience in a simulator with. His small mechanical skills taught to him by the wookie. Last wit his intuition and this strange feeling he played a much bigger part in this war with the empire then he realised.

In my audio learning, I hear the beginning consonant sound of the same word spoken by two different speakers to be as a "w", as in "wari", or to be an "m", as in "mari". While it seems clear that the Japanese have a different sense of this sound, it proves a little difficult to distinguish which pronunciation one is supposed to be hearing in the first place. What simple rule can I apply to sort out this sound when I hear it?

What you're actually referring too is called the phoneme; a discrete contrastive unit of sound of a language. In IPA transcription, "W"=[ɰ], and "M"=[m], where the bracket notation indicates phonetic transcription. These two are indeed part of the phonemic inventory of Japanese, meaning that if a Japanese speaker were to use one where the other was called for, the result would be either a mispronunciation or an entirely different unintended word. It is most likely that you are misperceiving one of them, or it is the fault of the recording or machine. Look up the two permutations in a dictionary, probably only one will be listed, unless the word is in fact a suffixed word.
If you had provided the words to which those supposed sounds belong, someone could have disambiguated the intended sound. Given the intended sound and word, one could obviously write down the so-called rules that were involved. There are of course rules, linguistic rules at any rate, such as, for example, that one phoneme cannot neighbour another phoneme in the speech stream.
What is the sound being sorted against? I'm not sure what you mean. Perception strategies for another persons speech? Acoustic cues to the articulated phoneme?
I guess to answer your actual question "Is this consonant...inflection?". There's different uses of the word inflection. Morphological inflection in grammar is one, and the other commonplace usage, I think, is a misnomer meaning "change in intonation" or something to that affect. I hear this word all the time from the common folk, and I even used to use this word myself, but I've never seen the the word "inflection" in the context of phonetics/phonology. Looking at the wiki for Infelction it is entirely the morphological sense. I think it's just a misused word in the daily vernacular. For some reason people think it means change in pitch (as opposed to the well-known fixed tones of certain Chinese dialects) or something. I have no idea. You meant inflection in this sense of changing pitch, right?
The answer then I think is no; intonation (the pitch profile) acts independently of the phonemic form of a utterance.

This question exists because it has historical significance, but it is not considered a good, on-topic question for this site, so please do not use it as evidence that you can ask similar questions here. This question and its answers are frozen and cannot be changed. More info: help center.
There is a lot of overlap with existing questions, I am creating a wiki here with links. Please feel free to update.
On the personal level:
A really good skill that I hope you acquire on your way towards becoming a sysadmin is the ability to quickly recover from your mistakes... this should become second nature (an automatic reaction).
**While browsing once, I found this strictly unofficial, highly-debatable, yet potentially useful list:
II. Thou shalt empower the user
III. Thou shalt keep it simple
IV. Thou shalt expect catastrophe
V. Thou shalt plan
VI. Thou shalt stay informed
VII. Thou shalt share
VIII. Thou shalt automate
IX. Thou shalt document
X. Thou shalt respect thy organization
Create projects for yourself
The best way to learn about how to fix desktops is to build your home computer, and then improve/break it until you're comfortable doing that.
Interested in web servers? Install/enable a web service on your home PC (apache or IIS in XP) and you'll be amazed at how much you pick up about DNS, networking, etc. And how useful that knowledge will be to you down the line.
I could keep listing examples, but you get the idea. The more fun you have with it, the more you learn. The more you know, the more fun your job is. This makes you a more enjoyable coworker, and a better job candidate.
No one has said much about security, but it's always going to be the elephant in the room on the front burner, to mix metaphors. With respect to security specifically, you should know something about the following areas as well as be familiar with at least one or two tools that help you manage each:
Really depends on your environment. Are you maintaining servers, networks or simply rebooting the Windows Exchange server when it runs out of memory?
In general, these skillset will come in handy.
Most importantly: You must be able to learn new things. Nobody knows every system, so being able to Google, order books, take courses to improve yourself is very important.
Put some time into understanding concepts. Read up on networking, the security models of the servers and OSs you'll be supporting, and how your company's IT is architected. If you have a mental picture of how things are supposed to work, then you can hypothesize what problems are likely to be a symptom of. Then you can do some troubleshooting to investigate further.
If you treat everything as a black box, you'll have to "learn" each individual fix. If understand how things work and how they fit together, the problems you solve will deepen your understanding and make you a better admin.
Also - be honest with users: don't over-promise and under-deliver.
Hmn, my top-ten:
Note that very few of those things are technical? If you know how to be wrong, how to see a task through until it's complete, and have experience with configuring a network interface on Solaris, a few flavors of Linux, and Windows, then you have enough of a basic grasp of networking for an entry level sysadmin job. But the first two are people skills, because no one knows everything or can know everything.
A lot of this stuff only comes from experience. Basically, what you need is experience.
Since you asked mostly about technical skills -- just FYI, you want to avoid looking like you've padded your resume. If you want experience running ESX, get evaluation copies and run a server in your bedroom. But be honest about the level of experience that you have with the products and don't BS someone who might hire you.
The Practice of System and Network Administration, Second Edition by Thomas A. Limoncelli
It's THE book on system administration that focuses on basic things and principles one should keep in mind. Every sysadmin should read this one at least twice.

Star Wars: The Complete Saga [9 Discs / Blu-ray] - In Store for $69.99 + free shipping
(Trilogies also $30)
Looks like they are unavailable for shipping already, but free store pick up. Amazon has PM the prequel, but not the whole saga or the original trilogy.
Prequel Trilogy:
Original Trilogy:

Wouldn't it be fair to say this really isn't "Complete" considering three (or more) movies are forthcoming?
They won't be canon.
Why does it say 9 disc set, but on the site each link says 3 discs? 3 * 2 = 6. Am I missing something?
I like the deleted scenes and extras, which was my main reason for getting this set. I do feel like the extras could've been presented in a more interesting way, but it's cool.
@aplocher: The Complete Saga box set includes 3 discs of deleted scenes, documentaries, and making of videos. The Prequel and Original Trilogy sets only include the movies.
buy you must
Amazon really needs to PM this. I want to get some use out of my Prime trial.
For realsies, though, I'd only be in it for the extras. I already own the unedited release of the originals, which is the Best Ever one, albeit on DVD.
When episodes 4 through 6 are remade, then i'll consider the deal. Still waiting for them to get some real actors and none like mark "old" hamill.
Amazon had the complete set for $70 back in September, let's see if they will do it again.
@rabidwooter: The original trilogy needs more changes? Your last name wouldn't happen to be Lucas, would it?

I currently have a request to "find all documents that haven't been touched, ie opened, edited, moved, created, deleted, etc.) in the last 12 months." in WSS 3.0.
Now seeing as I never bothered to turn on auditing for the Site Collection in question, and my IIS/SharePoint logs don't go that far back is there any hope for extrapolating this data?

Obviously, the Star Trek Experience would have been a good suggestion. But consider that I'm a science fiction geek, computer programmer, technologist, those kinds of things. What kind of cool stuff along those lines is there in Vegas?
I have a few suggestions for you:
I'll add more activities as soon as I can remember all the stuff ;)
Speaking as someone with similar interests as yourself:
1) Best geek thing to do in Vegas: learn to count cards at blackjack, play poker, or other forms of advantage play. Very few gamblers believe there is anything to learn about gambling, and so it's possible for geeks to learn how to maximize their gambling experience. Poker is the easiest game to become good enough to win money. Play blackjack and video poker with a goal of breaking even, but generating casino play so you're offered comps. I win money at poker, lose money in the casino, but my comp value is usually ~3x my casino losses.
2) Been to the Atomic Museum twice. It's definitely worthwhile, but won't take more than a few hours even if you're extremely interested. Use Google Maps to take the bus there.
3) Actually, use Google Maps to take the bus anywhere. Cabs are hellishly expensive, the monorail doesn't go very far, but the bus network is extensive and cheapish. ($7 for an unlimited day pass as of mid-2011.) I almost always walk where I'm going, but not in Las Vegas -- the distances there are much further than they appear to be, thanks to topography and the size of the landmarks.
4) There are half-price show ticket booths scattered around town. Quite a few of the shows would be of geek interest, purely for the live special effects if nothing else.
5) There's a nightclub called "Insert Coin" near the Fremont Street experience which is apparently themed on 8-bit video games. It wasn't open yet when I was there, but the "coming soon" sign was a "Loading" bar that was progressively filled in red. Thought it was a great promo.
6) Helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon has been on my list for years. Haven't done it, but it strikes me as geek double-rainbow.
You will probably have to take a cab there but it's pretty interesting to see all of the old Pinball machines from yesteryear.
You can always go to CES - Consumer Electronics Showcase
This geek enjoyed The Neon Museum for its history and tech aspects. Several pictures I took at the Boneyard are now in rotation as desktop backgrounds.
There are tons of non-casino things to do. For example if you like zoo-like activities, at different hotels you can see lions & tigers, flamingos, dolphins, sharks & rays (and you can touch a ray), assorted fish and birds both inside and out, and so on. And if, like some geeks, you're a foodie, then there are more places to go than you can fit into any vacation - and for less than you might expect to spend, too. I also enjoyed figuring out the tech behind the free outdoor shows like the fountains, volcano, pirate/siren battle and so on.
The bus is a good bargain. The distances are enormous - walking will fool you a few times.

Be the Change — Share a Blessing
Gandhi said, "Be the change you want to see in the world."
That statement has been moving through my mind for the past several weeks as I read comments on social media and hear so many people feeling helpless and disillusioned. It's clear to me that we are living in a time of extreme opposites. There are people doing extraordinary work to bring peace and consciousness to the planet, while at the same time there are also people committed to war and violence.
The real question for me is "How do I want to respond and live?" I believe that we are either part of the problem or we are part of the solution. I also believe that our words have power and that what we put out in the universe eventually returns to us in some form.
So instead of being upset about the state of the world, I have decided to do something, and I would like you to join me.

Unanswered: Using the page-analyzer tool to optimize loading of my app
Hey all,
I recently finished an ext app and it is loading really slowly to the browser. I'm trying to use the ext page-analyzer tool but I don't really understand how to interpret the information the page is giving me.
My app is basically a viewport which contains a grid (blazegrid) and a panel (maildetailmasterone). The panel contains two sub-panels (maildetailone and maildetailtwo).
To me, it looks like maildetailmasterone is being layed out several times (in run 2,3 and 4) and the viewport is taking a really long time to get setup. Am I analyzing this right? If so, are there ways to fix these issues? I'm working in MVC

Does your whole page loads slowly or just the content of the grid?

I have not spoken to my mother in 15 years but recently connected with her and her side of the family. I was primarily raised in a different sub-culture after the age of 4. As it turns out I "accidentally" have a lot in common with my maternal relatives. We like and dislike many of the same things. Is there some dominate trait in our nature which affects our psychology to cause us to agree on everything from TV, food and lifestyle?

There are either too many possible answers, or good answers would be too long for this format. Please add details to narrow the answer set or to isolate an issue that can be answered in a few paragraphs.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
In this answer I mainly repeat the comments!
There are several reasons why you might share some traits with your mother.
These reasons can be classified into three categories:
The phenotypic variance in a population is influenced by the environmental variance + the genetic variance + the variance due to the interactions between the environmental and genetic variances. The heritability can be calculated as the part of the phenotypic variance which are genetically determined. Such calculations make sense only for populations not for a given parent-offpsring pair.
genetic: It does not make sense to ask whether the variance of a trait is dominant or recessive. It makes sense to say that "liking pink" is dominant over "liking blue". Therefore, you should tell us what is the variant of a given trait that you share with your mother. In such case we might tell you if this variant is dominant or not over the other variants. But of course, this works only for traits that are at least slightly genetically determined. liking a color will certainly not have a strong genetic variance for example. And even if a trait is 100% genetically determined, complex genetic architecture might make it hard to answer. For example a given variant might be dominant in a given genetic background but recessive in another. Finally, I should say that it costs to perform the necessary study (Genome Wide Association Studies) to know exactly the part of the variance of a given trait that is genetically determined. And of course, such studies depend on the population we look at.
Multiple testing issue: Without realizing, you actually looked at many different traits. You might have looked at your favorite color, your favorite beer, the way you wash your teeth, the sport you practice, the color of room, whether you are calm or impulsive, etc... You might not have paid attention only to things that match but you would have found as many similarities (not the same ones though) with any other human on earth.

I have been using Ubuntu since 9.04 without many (serious) problems, I installed the 10.10 CD and put it on a flash drive (after a while or looking through the web to realize that the startup disk creator breaks with maverick. Anyway, when I booted from flash, it would get completely stuck (no cursor, no blinking line at the top, just nothing!). So I went back to my lucid install and did a "update-manager -d". When the upgrade was done, i rebooted, and was faced with the same problem again. I had to manually edit the "grub.cfg" file to set the lucid old kernel as default. Again I was faced with a new problem: virtualbox couldn't find the kernel files because upgrading the kernel deleted some files that were required.
What I need to know is if there is a way to upgrade from lucid to maverick without the new kernel (I still don't understand why it broke, but oh well!)
My specs are: Toshiba Satellite A215, Dual core AMD athlon-X2 ATI Radeon X1200 (been using the default driver for it since jaunty) Ubuntu Lucid with latest updates
Please help, and thanks in advance

My daughter came back from Kindergarten and mentioned this word to me. She said it means dumme Gans and dictionary says differently. Can someone give a few simple examples where it is used?

A "Petze" is a colloquial word that describes someone who "rats out" someone else.
Dict.cc translates it as "telltale" or "snitch". In German, the noun "Petze" or the verb "petzen/verpetzen" are mostly used by children, because it is a more childlike way to say "verraten" (betray).
An exemplary use of the word in Kindergarden or school would be that a child did something bad and the "Petze" tells the teacher.
If used by an adult, it is mostly meant either jokingly, or to express that the act of telling on someone was childish. For example, if a co-worker notices a minor mistake made by someone and tells on him to his superior (like going to the teacher), others could call him a "Petze".
Petze, petzen, verpetzen
This is a colloquial term coming from student's jargon by the end of the 18th Century. It is mainly used by and for children who denounce others to parents or teachers. Such a child would then be called Petze.
Some believe that it has its origin in Rotwelsch where petzen, pezetten was used for reporting somebody to the police. Alternatively it may also come from the noun Petze, which was used for a female dog in southern regions of Germany.
A Petze is someone, that tells on someone else. In BE a squealer or telltale.
A nice kids rhyme against snitching:

I was using Ubuntu 12.10 in my VirtualBox4.2.12 on my Windows7 Host. They worked good. But when I install Ubuntu 13.04 in VirtualBox 4.2.12, the screen and display are very slow. I have followed this post <How do I resolve slow and choppy performance in virtualbox?> to enable 3D Acceleration.
Now the performance issue is resolved, but the Unity, launcher and dash are gone. I have tried to disable 3D Acceleration, the Unity can be displayed, but the performance issue come again. Please see my screenshot.
Is there anyone has the same issue? I have searched the answer from this site, all the answers are pointed to How do I resolve slow and choppy performance in virtualbox?

how to stop it?
Whne you see it going on all around you, when the school, religious institutions, camps, playgroups, all allow the kids to pick on one another, bully one another, and ignore the please of the kids being picked on, even when the parents intervene - how do we stop it in others? We stopped going to our synagogue because the other kids wouldn't stop picking on my kids because of one thing or another, mostly because my kids were in public school. We tried talking to people, it didn't help.

Solution (Bezrat Hashem) to "how to stop it?"
This may be some comfort to you: I'm a 17 years old and I go to public school. However, I'm also accepted by the Jewish religious community in Seattle and the religious kids who go to school nearby. They are very kind to me and treat me with respect (don't treat me differently). I believe that it depends on the location where a person resides. Everyone is at a different level (hashcafa). Although a Jewish kid may be religious, unfortunately, it does not mean he/she will be necessarily fully developed in their ways of human to human interaction. Further study of Torah (mussar) is a great antidote for these people. One solution could be to have your kids meet with other religious kids on line through a Chavrusa learning session. I do this every Monday with a religious friend in Baltimore, Maryland. In general, I believe the way to prevent bullying is for people to explain to others how they feel. This will diminish differences between individuals. It's very sad what you are going through and I feel your pain. Don't give up! Eventually, Hashem will set up the right people to assist your children! :) If you need any further help, my e-mail is email@example.com
mom, July 26, 2013 4:49 PM
thank you
Thank you for your response. We are going to a conservative synangogue now where some of the kids friends also are members and go to hebrew school together. It's nice to hear there are communities which accept children from all backgrounds. I wish you the best of luck, but I can see you are on a good path already!

HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) _ A Reno County judge has sentenced a Hutchinson man to more than 59 years in prison for abducting a woman from a grocery store and raping her.
Craig L. Gooch watched part of Friday's sentencing hearing from jail.
The Hutchinson News (http://bit.ly/120eAeg) reports that Gooch turned his face away from the camera when the woman's husband read a statement. Then, he leaned back so that his face couldn't be seen by the camera when the woman spoke.
He asked to return to his cell before the judge pronounced the sentence.
The victim was abducted in May 2012 after going to a Hutchinson grocery store to shop for her daughter's graduation dinner. When she returned to her mini-van, she looked in her rear-view mirror and saw Gooch in the back seat.

As Newtown Schools Reopen, One Receives Phone Threat
SANDY HOOK, Conn.—Many children here returned to school Tuesday for the first time since a mass shooting left 27 people dead, but one school poised to reopen canceled classes after receiving a threat.
While children from Sandy Hook Elementary School, where 20 students and six educators died in Friday's rampage, likely won't return until January, thousands of students from five other schools in the Newtown Public School District went back to class Tuesday morning. The schools opened with a two-hour delay and an increased security presence, with police officers at every building.
One school, Head O'Meadow Elementary School, was slated to reopen but did not after a phone threat was made against the school. A district spokeswoman said the threat posed no real danger but students and staff were instructed to stay home "out of an abundance of caution," a spokeswoman said.
Students from Sandy Hook Elementary School will be moved to Chalk Hill School, a former middle school about seven miles away in Monroe. Officials said the classrooms will be set up just as they were at Sandy Hook.
Outside Hawley Elementary School on Tuesday morning, a police officer waved with both hands as a bus entered the parking lot. The kids waved back from behind the windows as they passed.
Pete Muckell kissed his 8-year-old daughter Shannon and told her he loved her before dropping her off at Hawley. He said Shannon was not scared, and he felt it was important to get her back into the classroom.
"We can't keep them in a bubble," said Mr. Muckell, 52 years old, who also has an older daughter in middle school. "I just wanted to get them back to routine.
Sue Selner, 44, brought her son to Reed Intermediate School, where a counseling center has also been established. He is in fifth grade and graduated from Sandy Hook Elementary last year. Her younger son, 4 years old, was slated to start kindergarten there next year.
"It was scary," she said about bringing her older child back to school. "I thought it was OK. He doesn't really understand what's going on. His main concern was that the shooter was dead."
Ms. Selner said she reassured him by saying, "You're safe, we love you, your teacher loves you." She thought it was important to get back to a normal routine.
"The longer you keep them out, the harder it is," said Ms. Selner. "They need routine. They can't see fear in us because it passes on to them."
After dropping him off, she stopped in for breakfast at Bagel Delight with her youngest child. She splurged on three cookies—one gingerbread, one Santa and one snowman—because the 4-year-old couldn't decide which he wanted most.
"I can't say no to anything right now," she said with a half-smile.
