Second Half Struggles Lead to Loss at Dordt
SIOUX CENTER, Iowa - The MLC women's basketball team trailed by just three at halftime, but was outscored 34-17 in the second half in a 62-42 loss at Dordt.
The Knights, playing their third game in five days, kept things close in the first half despite shooting 8-24 from the field, as they held Dordt to 38.5 percent shooting and forced 14 turnovers.
The second half would be a different story, as the Knights struggled to gain any traction on the offensive end. MLC turned the ball over 18 times and finished 7-32 from the field in the final 20 minutes, helping Dordt start the second half on a 22-5 run to build its lead to 20 points and take control of the game the rest of the way.
Alex Anthon finished as the Knights' leading scorer with 12 points on 5-7 shooting. Rebecca Engelbrecht joined her in double figures with 11 points.
The loss dropped MLC to 1-8 to start the season, while Dordt improved to 7-7 with the win.
MLC will return to action on Saturday, December 15, when it travels to Wartburg. The game starts at 2 p.m.

Voice chat with multiple chat rooms, suggestions needed
Hello everyone.
I need to develop a chat software that supports voice, and enables users to create their own chat rooms.
I'm fairly new to Java and have just started network programming, so could you suggest me the things I'll need to study to achieve this??
Thanks in advance.
You aren't going to like this, but my honest suggestion is to start smaller. This isn't a trivial project. I'd start with a much much smaller project, then work up to this one.How to Ask Questions the Smart Way

I don't know, I guess that depends on what you already know. There are a bunch of aspects to your big project idea- try getting a simple GUI up and running, something like a simple button. Then try getting some networking (without a GUI) up and running- basic communication between two computers. If you get that working, combine the two- have a simple GUI support basic networking (aiming for a chat/IM clone would be a pretty high standard). Then maybe try thinking about how you'd do this with voice. It's not going to be simple.How to Ask Questions the Smart Way

Veronica's College of Hollywood Knowledge: Wednesday 1/22/14
Our contestant Lauren this morning told us that she plays in her car everyday and that she usually gets all of the questions right. Since she is now under the pressure of playing the game against Veronica will Lauren be able to get all the question right? Find out.
1. Celebrity Chef, Guy Fieri is 46 today. He hosts "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" on what network?
2. Donald Trump Jr. and his wife Vanessa are expecting their 5th child. Name the show show Donald is a boardroom advisor on?
3. Many celebrities had other career plans before they made it big. Steve Buscemi was a New York City fireman. Christopher Walken was a circus lion tamer. What did Tom Cruise plan to be: A police officer, Priest or lawyer?
4. The professor from Gilligan's Island died last week. On the TV show, what was the name of their boat?
5. Rainn Wilson turns 48 this week. What was his characters name on the office?

If you are like me, you love source control. I recently discovered you can use source control in Access via a plugin. However if you want to push it out to a client, how do you remove source control? What you do is a compact and repair of the database. It will ask you if you wish to remove source control from the new copy of the database, click yes and your should be good to go.
Powershell – Copyrighting made easy
I recently needed to submit a program I'm working on for a copyright. One of the criteria is the first and last 25 pages of the program need to be submitted. I really didn't want to go into every source code file and append it to a file manually, I have more important things to do than that. I used my old friend Powershell to get what I needed.
Here is the line:
> ls *.cs -recurse | ?{-not ($_.fullname -match "obj") -and -not ($_.fullname -match "properties")} | Get-Content > sourcecode.txt
What this is doing is grabbing all of my C# code from my solution (excluding code in the obj and properties folders) and dumping it to a text file.
From there I was able to upload one file.
Finding All The Logins Not Associated to Database Users
Today I ran into a particular issue, consolidating user accounts. In this particular exercise, I needed to remove old user accounts that were not tied to any databases. Here is a neat trick I did to get a reasonable number of logins to look at for disabling.
CREATE TABLE ##names (NAME SYSNAME);
EXEC sp_msforeachdb 'insert into ##names (name) select name from [?].sys.sysusers';
SELECT name,
FROM sys.syslogins l
FROM ##names u
WHERE u.name=l.name )
Using the unsupported sp_msforeachdb stored procedure I could dump all the usernames into a table and compare it to the logins. Simple, quick, dirty…But saved a lot of time!
Remotely connecting to SQL Server 2008 Integration Services – Access is denied error.
Very annoying error and I haven't seen clear concise instructions for getting this to work. I will attempt to do that here.
- Open Administrative Tools > Component Services
- Navigate to DCOM Config and open the properties for MsDtsServer100
- Click on the Security tab
- Add the appropriate users/groups that you need and assign their permissions to BOTH "Launch and Activation Permissions" AND "Access Permisions" (Both of whom, select Customize then Edit)
- Click Ok to save changes and close those windows.
- Right click on Computer, select Manage.
- Navigate to System Tools > Local Users and Groups > Groups
- Double click on Distributed COM Users
- Add the users/groups you wanted to give permissions to.
Parenting Hack – Feeding a child who refuses to eat
Being the parent of a child in the terrible 2's can be a daunting task; they are expressing the individuality and are testing the boundaries. My daughter was refusing to eat, it was just an act of defiance.
I then remembered something from the book the Art of War, take the middle ground. If she won't eat food, maybe I could get her to just hold the food. Obviously, it should be something easy for a 2 year old to hold. In this case I used pancakes. I told her to help daddy by holding a pancake for me.
In a minute, she ate the pancake. I asked her to hold another one for me, and wouldn't you know that she ate that one too!
So I hope this helps to feed your defiant 2 year old as well!
SQL Server Database Corruption
I'm currently studying for the 70-450 exam to obtain my MCITP in SQL Server Database Administration. I wanted to get a better understanding for SQL Server's transaction log. I wanted to see if I could corrupt a databases MDF and recover data even after the last t-log backup. This is where the tail backup comes in.
The tail log backup can recover your data even if the MDF is corrupted. This is because it stores all the transactions since the last full backup and t-log backup. If the MDF is corrupted your t-log should still be able to be backed up, unless that is corrupted too. If the database is not truly corrupt, a backup log statement with the norecovery option will work just fine. This puts your database into recovery mode and prevents users from going into the database, preserving the state of the database so the restoration can be performed.
Unfortunately this does not work when the database is corrupted. You have to use the option continue_after_error, this forces the backup to occur.
You can then restore all data back to the database using your full and t-log backups.
Immediately after bringing the database online, be sure to make a full backup. This way you have a good restore point and if you routinely are backing up your t-logs, your next transactional backup will work just fine.
SQL Server – Searching for Non-Alphanumeric characters Using Like
All I can say is I have never really needed to search for a percent sign or square brackets or a caret in a query until today. GooBling (Googling and Binging) didn't return any useful results. Of course Kim Tripp, one of the sage SQL Server gurus always recommends checking Books Online first, shame on me for not checking there first but this wasn't entirely obvious. Check out the details here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms179859.aspx
You can specify an escape character using a very, now, obvious escape character. An escape character placed in front of a pattern matching character will force SQL Server to recognize the pattern matching character as a normal character.
For example:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE col1 LIKE '%|%%' ESCAPE '|'
The above query will return all rows where col1 contains a percent sign.

DCL Lecture Series: Prof. Richardo Sanfelice - "Nonlinear Observers with a Contracting Riemannian Distance: Necessary and Sufficient Conditions"
|Assistant Professor Ricardo Sanfelice, University of Arizona

|Event Type:
Title: Nonlinear Observers with a Contracting Riemannian Distance: Necessary and Sufficient Conditions
We study the convergence property of nonlinear observers for nonlinear systems using Riemannian metrics as a measure of the distance between state and estimate. We show that the existence of an observer guaranteeing the property that a Riemannian distance between system and observer solutions is nonincreasing (decreasing) is such that that the Lie derivative of the Riemannian metric along the system vector field is nonpositive (negative) in the tangent space to the output function level sets. Also, if the observer has an infinite gain margin then the level sets of the output function have to be geodesically convex. Conversely, if these two properties are satisfied, then there exists an observer that has an infinite gain margin with Riemannian metric that is decreasing along solutions. We show that the existence of such a metric is related to the observability of the system's linearization along its solutions. Moreover, the problem of designing a Riemannian metric satisfying the said properties is also addressed for general systems as well as systems that are strongly differentially observable (which leads to reduced-order observers). Examples illustrating the ideas and results are presented.

Adobe AIR Gyroscope Native Extension with Euler Angles (roll, pitch, yaw) for iOS
UPDATE: I have released the extension including source on google code with some changes.
Euler Gyroscope ANE on Google Code
I baked my very first AIR iOS Native Extension. It's just an adapted version of this version from Adobe. Because in my opinion the data of radians per second aren't really good to handle. So I looked into Apples API documentation and found out that there are Euler Angles in the CMMotionManager CMDeviceMotion classes. So I just changed a few lines in the Objective-C Code. I learned much from this tutorial Native Extionsion for Adobe AIR and iOS 101 by Liquid Photo
NSString *myStr = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%f&%f&%f&%f&%f&%f", rotate.x, rotate.y, rotate.z, motionManager.deviceMotion.attitude.roll, motionManager.deviceMotion.attitude.pitch, motionManager.deviceMotion.attitude.yaw]; [motionManager startDeviceMotionUpdates]; motionManager.deviceMotionUpdateInterval = 0;
And added these three parameters roll, pitch and yaw to the Actionscript Gyroscope Event.
new GyroscopeEvent(GyroscopeEvent.UPDATE, _x, _y, _z, _roll, _pitch, _yaw)
You can download source and final iOS .ane Native Extension file here:
iOS Air Native Extension Gyroscope – with Euler Angles
This entry is filed under Adobe AIR, Adobe Flash Platform, iPad, iPhone. And tagged with Actionscript, Adobe, air, as3, DeviceMotion, Gyroscope, iOS, iPad, iphone, MotionManager, Native Extension, pitch, roll, yaw.

Zorin OS 7 Review Linux Distro Reviews
People Who Liked This Video Also Liked
Did this video help you?
Lukasz Augustyn: I've started using of Zorin Linux since two days. This system impressed me
the ease of its use, simplicity and intuitive.
Pedro Beja: can you review zorin os 9? and maybe tell the differences an improvments when comparing to previous versions... great reviews btw!
jack swetman: very interesting, never seen zorin before (or much linux at all for that matter) but im pretty impressed! my only concern is compatibility? it emulates windows 7 brilliantly but its it compatible with programs designed for windows? could i for example run my games, music production software and photoshop on it?
Allen Straith: Can you look at Zorin OS 8?
Cesar Blanco: Lite or core.
Emily Rose: "Compiz as a backend instead of Unity" You have no idea what you are talking about. Unity uses compiz for its windows management as well, it just not comes with this fancy animations settings by default. What this actually uses instead of Unity is a Gnome 3 based GUI! Also you are talking about the visual GUI and this is the FRONTend not the backend. You definatly seem to be the right guy for this noob OS.
Cesar Blanco: Download Link zorin-os.com/free7.html
A U F I D E R Z E: i will wish to linux grow up marketshare around the world but it need support...
DamonDay814: I installed Zorin OS 7 Lite on my Acer netbook that has an Atom Z520 CPU & 2GB RAM. A lot faster than Vista & is generally more secure. It's replacing slow Vista as my main OS. While I still use Vista to transfer files from my android to my portable HDD to Zorin because none of the android conversions work for me. When I build a gaming desktop I'll dual boot Zorin OS 7 w/windows 7. I don't think Linux will replace windows, but together the 2 make a GREAT pair.
RAY MARES: Can you use Ubuntu on ipod touch?
Mike Lee: Dont you take time for a breath, you was non stop. But having said that, a nice video and worth a look.
Keegon McPherson: This is fantastic, Windows mimicking Linux's are a favourite of mine.
RAY MARES: Can you use Ubuntu on ipod touch?
yogesh gupta: Very Nice Video Bro :D
4malulz: Like most distro reviews, nothing about the Repos? I heard it was an Ubuntu off-shoot.. Does it actually use the ubuntu repos, or do they have their own sub-set, and their own repos? I hate reviews that don't talk about the repos.
Joe Panico: I very much enjoy your videos. However, there are times as in this one you try to spit things out so fast they sound like your mumbling and are difficult to understand. Also, can I assume that Zorin as all Linux systems can be run duel boot if you wish to try it (them) out first? I look forward to your reply and future videos. You have become one of my favorite to watch because of the thoroughness and professionalism. Thanks!
Lu C: Excellent At present, the interfaces of Windows XP & 7 are much more intuitive than those of Unity, Gnome & Cinnamon so I'm quite happy about this.
Maxime Marquis: awesome
Marc Dupuis: Good Job !!!
Schnucki Putzi: Do you breath, when you talk ?? lol
Garth Davison: Steam is really helping with the gaming..I'm not a gamer but I've downloaded Steam in Arch and WOW it's amazing with more games to come..I can use Linux full time with only one program I can't use and that is gotowebinar only available on Windows other than that I don't use Windows
VitriolicGhost: This video convinced me to install Zorin. Great, well-made video, thank you to the author.
DamonDay814: I like Zorin OS. I have Zorin OS 7 lite on my netbook & want to know how to switch to Zorin OS 6 on my netbook(I want 6 because it's a LTS. I don't want to delete my files either
mancusoc vlogs: Im removing Win8 from my laptop and replacing it with Zorin OS.
Ahmed Said Al-Bahdoor: Thank you very much I have lliked it I will download and install it right now ^_^)
charlie brownau: Looks good , I will download Zorin OS 8 and give it a whirl
Tomasz Drozd: bukkake cute boy
Konchi Salmingo: +InfinitelyGalactic what command you use to make the cube effect?.. sorry im noob in linux
Rajat Pandita: GnoMenu crashes evertime you want to make a change to the menu via the preferences for GnoMenu. I had the same issue with 5X and 6X versions. I that is the only reason what made me to move on !!!
pkm100: Zorin has to be my favourite Linux :)
Timothy Hatton: Awesome review :)
Ben ten: whats the best linux os which looks cool, easy to use and works fast with a low end or old pc?Ubuntu isnt working well for me
jameswalker199: I like the idea of Zorin OS, although in my opinion the theme is somewhat hideous, but as much as we want to make new Linux users feel familiar with the platform, I don't think we should try to exactly emulate another OS. For instance, instead of making something look just like windows, take inspiration from it, have some of the conventions of windows, like a start menu and taskbar, but change it a little to help teach the user adaptability, e.g. put the taskbar at the side or something similar.
y34r: i really want to use linux,but gaming and foobar2000 are main two things that hold me back
Naturalpromise: It looks great! I think ill try it out.
84sblack: I'm going to try it. why i oughta. Thanks.
David Minford: Excellent vid thx
InfinitelyGalactic: No problem, thanks for your feedback! Much appreciated.
Alex Chaplianka: Deepin?
GrahamLinux: Well that is one opinion. My opinion is everyone has the freedom to do what they want.
thonaker1: I went to Zorin, after I saw the mess that Windows became with 8. Quite easy to figure out. Familiarity is a good thing in the computer world, because, trying to use something like Android is still rather annoying, compared to Windows xp through 7. It's not that I can't figure things out, I'm a tech guy, but, I just don't need extra annoyance. And, neither does an everyday user, or older people, who just want to sit down, and figure it out.
jairo torres: just install a dock from the software center they use Docky :)
Frostclaw20: i see your bike
Garth Davison: IG have you looked at Point Linux..???
Stefano Mano: Galactic Hi again. Check elementary os luna beta 2(you tested the first beta). Now they added new tweak tools in to the system. Give your opinion to the world. Thanks for your time.
Pixellink: €9.99 .... hmm maybe
Cosmic Mastermind: As Richard Stallman says, the ONLY thing that really matters is "can I play Windows games on it?" I more than agree with him, I think 99.9% of people who try Linux just want it to WORK, no excuses, no falderal about how Linux is so great at some obscure programming task, either it works just like Windows or it is a FAIL.

Type 1 diabetes vaccine hailed as 'significant step'
Bend over. Order's up.
Ignorance is entirely responsible now. Adaptive. Nourishment for those pesky beta cells that hyperventilate themselves on the sugary sweet toxins that are jawed upon on the daily—because whole grains and the many blipped and overtly subliminal hijackings are podiumed high above all, right there with vaccines, gold medal and all.
It may be possible to reverse type 1 diabetes by training a patient's own immune system to stop attacking their body, an early trial suggests.
Personally—I'd DSM-5 these sugar stragglers. Fuck with their dopamine. Zombie their intentions. Unpath their feet from the forward progression of ordinary life. All in an effort to mouse-in-a-maze them to a point of cheese minus the self-pummeling.
But hey, if these to-be above-knee below-knee amputated inefficients want to poke and scrub raw at the tips of their dexterity some more—all in an effort to re-route the natural response to our very unnatural ways—, let 'em.
Let 'em fall victim to the future foils of more disease. More innovation gone awry. More discovery that leads to the eventual spread of more discovery. An endless ambition to always push somewhere because the now and current are always a hot-potato compromise.
"We're very excited by these results, which suggest that the immunologist's dream of shutting down just a single subset of dysfunctional immune cells without wrecking the whole immune system may be attainable."
Yep. Hitler that subset. Those insulin-gobblin' dysfuncts. And we'll all celebrate this upheaval of evil and staging-in of the always better, just as we, the non-obsolete nazis, do today—with the echoes of cultural closet-laughs and the endless pursuit of blonde-haired blue-eyed perfection.
Prof Steinman said the effect seemed to last for up to two months so regular boosters would be needed.

There's not a lot of time for character development in the pilot episode of Crisis, NBC's hostage thriller that premieres Sunday. The first hour is more preoccupied with immersing viewers into the action and getting a couple of major twists out of the way than delving into the depths of its major players.
But here's what we do know: A bus of children is taken hostage by a group of highly trained criminals while on a field trip. What do the bad guys want? It's unclear. But the children's parents all hold positions of power in Washington, D.C., ranging from the CEO of a major corporation (Gillian Anderson) to the president of the United States. There's also a nearly unrecognizable Dermot Mulroney playing a shlubby parent chaperone who's an embarrassment to his daughter, but who defies expectations when it comes to the events that unfold. And in a made-for-TV coincidence, the no-nonsense FBI agent in charge of the case, Susie Dunn (Rachael Taylor), is the estranged sister of Anderson's character, Meg Fitch.
There's a crisis on the set of Crisis: Although the NBC drama is filming indoors on this late-January day, the high temperature outside the Chicago set is zero degrees (and with the wind chill, it feels like 30 below). Even inside, it's frosty, and star Gillian Anderson huddles for warmth by wrapping herself in a full-length parka between takes.read more

Seriously. No, we don't get a bunch of frozen dough and roll it out and call it scratch, because that would be wrong. We make pizza dough from flour and yeast and beer. And we stuff our own sausages. We even pickle our own peppers. We cook food because we LOVE food. And we're betting that's why you love it and why you're here. Welcome to the team.

Culinary Team
The dynamic duo that makes it all possible!
Michael Larson
You know what it's like to have that burning flame inside of you that whispers be more, do more, go, go …? Michael Larson, owner of EatShop, does. He started as a young pup in the salad station of Pronto Ristorante, fresh out of culinary school. It wasn't long before he was Chef and GM of the place. But it wasn't enough. During the food boom, Michael rose through the ranks of Parasole, helming many kitchens and crafting lasting relationships with other cooks. As opening Chef/GM of Chino Latino, he met another young pup in Jeff Anderson, a fresh graduate of the California Culinary Academy. The two found they worked well together, with a like-minded drive, so when Michael's eventual role as VP Culinary led him to choose an Executive Chef for the new Salut on Grand, it was a no-brainer.
Jeff Anderson
Executive Chef, a graduate of the California Culinary Academy. Jeff is known for creating fun and interesting dishes that appeal to a neighborhood. With a reputation as a creative force, along with his solid and proven skills he has led successful kitchens at new restaurants like Salut, Uptown Cafeteria and Digby's in Roseville, MN. So when Michael decided to leave Parasole to make the leap, start a new restaurant on his own terms, he could think of no one better to run his kitchen. Michael and Jeff have worked in the trenches together, they know how to battle through a crazy Saturday night, and they still haven't killed each other. Working together to create Eat Shop's menu has been a blast: Jeff brings innovation and edgy creativity while Michael balances it with wisdom of experience and practicalities. All of this forms a perfect alchemy that hopefully leaves you, the eater, with a full belly, a buzzy head, and a satisfied grin.

Effects on Children of Witnessing Domestic Violence
Research and clinical practice suggest that children witness domestic violence in varied ways, for example:
- Hearing and seeing the abuse,
- Seeing a battered or traumatized parent,
- Being scared for their own safety,
- Getting drawn into a fight to protect a parent,
- Seeing an abusive parent arrested
Children in homes with domestic violence are often also the targets of violence. This can occur because: the batterer physically abuses children; the children get into the "line of fire," either accidentally or when trying to intervene; or an abused parent becomes punitive to the children.
There is increasing concern about the damaging effects on children of witnessing violence between their parents. Children's responses and reactions vary by age and developmental stage.
- Most studies find significantly more than normal hyperactivity, aggression, sleep disturbances and/or behavioral and emotional difficulties.
- Research, so far, indicates that some children who witness domestic violence show no measurable behavioral or emotional difficulties. This suggests that resilience is also possible.
- The effects of being a victim of violence and/or witnessing violence vary with the age of the child, the duration and severity of violence as well as the availability of protective factors.
- Protective factors include: A positive relationship with a non-abusive adult and safe and accessible places of refuge.
Excellent web resources on this subject are:
- Minnesota Center Against Violence and Abuse
- National Center on Children Exposed to Violence
- The Child Witness to Violence Project at Boston Medical Center http://www.childwitnesstoviolence.org/

Just as the beehive is an ancient symbol of knowledge, so the bee is an initiate and Arcadia the landscape on which it feeds. Immerse yourself, and taste the honey that wisdom brings while listening to this interview.
Arcadia is a paradise or golden age lost in antiquity, preserved in mythology, and commemorated by countless generations, and the beehive represents the hidden knowledge within.

The following is part of the Editorial Review at Barnes and Noble: A group of curious people looking for the truth find more than they asked for when they investigate the haunted corridors of Annesley Hall in Nottinghamshire, the former home of Lord Byron and an infamously haunted locale.

If one is interested in the King Arthur legend, some of the best places for the inside scoop are the websites devoted to reviving the Cumbric language. (Northern Welsh is key to even having a notion, as this is where Gwynneth is located.) Visiting the region is an incredible experience and I reccomend it to anyone even remotely curious of the legend or of old Brythonic culture as a whole. The Lakes District was and still is a favourite haunt for many poets and dreamers of all sorts. Martha Washington is buried in Whitehaven, in fact.
