GEARY COUNTY, Kan. (WIBW) -- It's a life-long dream come true for a local lawman who is now the head of the Geary County Sheriff's Department.
Tony Wolf was sworn in as Geary County Sheriff on Monday, January 14, 2013 at the County Clerk's Office, along with several other county officials.
Wolf was elected in November to lead the department, taking the spot of Jim Jensen, who retired after serving three terms as sheriff.
"I love serving the community. I love to serve Geary County, Junction City, as my hometown. There's no greater honor than to serve those that I've grown up with. This is one dream that I've had all my life and here it is. We've made it," the new sheriff said after the ceremony.
Wolf has been with the agency for 16 years and worked his way up through the ranks, starting as a jailer.
He says one of his first goals in office is to update the department's computer equipment so that deputies are better equipped to fight cyber crimes, especially those involving children.
Sheriff Wolf says he also wants continue building a close working relationship with other local law enforcement agencies, especially the Junction City Police Department.
Brad Clark will serve as Wolf's undersheriff. Clark was the police chief in Grandview Plaza.

I don't know if schadenfreude would be an appropriate tag, but if it were, this question deserves it.
I was strolling through [Meta] Stack Overflow today and had remembered that there was some discussion about who has been in the penalty box and how many times. Well, I came up with an easy way to determine that (non-programmatically). I haven't sat down to make it into a Greasemonkey script, but I'm sure someone out there will.
Who's been in the penalty box?
To figure out who has been in the penalty box, type the following into Google:
site:stackoverflow.com/users/ This account is temporarily suspended.
This query has problems. It shows up every time Google spiders the page, so if it is spidered multiple times for the same infraction, it may appear to be multiple suspensions until you look at the time and date of the spidering of the page.
Like so:
User XXXXX This period of suspension ends in 9 hours User XXXXX This period of suspention ends in 4 hours User XXXXX This period of suspension ends November 30
In the spirit of competition:
- What ways could you programmatically determine which users are in the penalty box?
- How could you determine (accurately) how many times they've been there?
- It must be a program (that includes scripts)
- It can be in any language
- It must accurately determine how often a user in in the penalty box (through methods such as grabbing the time/date stamp of the spidering, etc)
- It must not get someone banned from Stack Overflow (Nothing that scrapes every user on the site once a day)
- The information used to create the program must be publicly available
- Any solution should address this point forward. Extra points if you can accurately determine who's been in the penalty box in the past
- More rules will be added (or taken away) as needed.
- The answer with the 'best' method will be chosen (very subjective, I'm sure there are objective criteria for them, and much like Pornography, I'll know it when I see it)

Is there a Linux distro compiled with clang/llvm? It looks like as of late 2010 the kernel was working. If not, would it be more likely to be a technical or licensing issue?
migrated from serverfault.com Aug 3 '11 at 12:55
This question came from our site for system and network administrators.
As a late response to this question, what @jmtd said is exactly what happens periodically in the Debian archive.
Packages are recompiled with newer toolchains (compilers, linkers, etc.) and, when recompilation fails, bugs against the packages that failed to be compiled are filed with the indication of FTBFS ("failed to build from source").
Such bugs are generally an indication of something bad happening and are usually ranked with high severity and given the status of "release critical" bugs, meaning that a new release can't be done with those bugs unsolved.
In particular, Lucas Nussbaum has been recompiling the whole archive of the Debian Project in a grid as a means of some Quality Assessment.
Recently, though, Sylvestre Ledru and some other Debian Developers have mentored students in Google's Summer of Code of 2012 to allow substitution of both GCC by Clang and
There is a site where the results of compilation of the whole collection of Debian packages were published and further reports were documented by LWN and the program for decoupling the Debian build process from GCC was successfully concluded.
So we may soon see a flavour of Debian compiled with clang/llvm, depending on how much support these successful results can gain.
Not yet. According to this currently open bug report it seems even the kernel itself fails to compile.
Whilst the end-user binaries are not built with clang/llvm, most of the Debian archive has been built (and rebuilt) with clang/llvm (and binutils-gold and other bits and pieces) by people who want to expose portability bugs in the software suite (and the compilers themselves).

Andy Murray: Breath of fresh air
Updated: September 8, 2012, 7:27 PM ETBy Greg Garber | ESPN.com
NEW YORK -- In real life, a generation extends up to 25 years. In the compressed, surreal world of professional sports, generations run about eight years.
In 2004, Lance Armstrong won his unprecedented sixth consecutive Tour de France. That year, the Boston Red Sox won the World Series for the first time since 1918 and 17-year-old Maria Sharapova won at Wimbledon.
You see? A lot can change in the athletic arena in eight years.
That year at Roland Garros, the men's semifinalists ...

Bernardin redivivus?
Speaking of "Throwback Thursday," Pope Francis seems to be giving new life to a number of neglected aspects of recent church history -- off the top of my head I'd say that list includes Gaudium et Spes, Cardinal Martini, Evangelii Nuntiandi, and by extension Paul VI, as well as Oscar Romero, John XXIII (as if he needed it), the Holy Spirit (as if she needed it) and the list may go on.
The legacy of the late Cardinal Joseph Bernardin would also seem to be getting a boost as Francis' remarks align so closely with Bernardin's ideas on the consistent ethic of life, on "common ground" for dialogue in the church, and for reaching out to the wider world. I explore this in a story published today:
"The point that (Bernardin's) consistent ethic makes is exactly the same point that Pope Francis is making – let's look at the whole picture and not just focus almost exclusively on three or so issues," said Archbishop Michael Sheehan of Santa Fe, N.M., who had been close friends with Bernardin since the 1970s.
"I certainly think that if Cardinal Bernardin were alive he would be very pleased with what Pope Francis is saying and doing," echoed Archbishop Joseph Fiorenza, retired archbishop of Galveston-Houston, whose 1998-2001 term as president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops was seen as one of the last in the mold of Bernardin.
"The consistent ethic of life theory that Bernardin proposed is getting a second look," Fiorenza said.
Several other bishops, church officials and observers agreed. But if those assessments are manna to Catholics hungry for a new direction in the church, they are anathema to conservatives who believe Bernardin epitomized everything that was wrong with the U.S. church before Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI pushed the hierarchy to the right.
The story is long for a news service piece -- 1200 words! And yet much good stuff had to be cut. I made a glancing reference to Peter Steinfels' 2011 rebuttal to George Weigel's critique of Bernardin, and John Carr had a good line that didn't make it -- that while both Bernardin and Francis were children of Italian immigrants, "Bernardin wouldn't say grace without a prepared text!"
I think the evidence for the synchronicity between Francis and the late archbishop of Chicago is strong, and many agree, even though I could find no evidence that Bergoglio knew of Bernardin. The real question may be whether Bernardin's approach can return to currency in the U.S. church as much as it has in Rome.

Hey, David G - great article. Cardinal Bernardin's accomplishments definitely are worthy of reflection, and you may well be right that Francis is, at the very least, a kindrid spirit.
Btw, clicking through one of your links, I see that the NY Times article on the spat among cardinals over the Common Ground Project was written by Gustav Niebuhr, who appears to be the grandson of H Richard Niebuhr and great-nephew of Reinhold Niebuhr. I'm sure you're all over that already, but it was kind of a striking byline for that story.
And yet much good stuff had to be cut.
I've never seen such humility (in all my years of journalism).
Try reading it this way, Mark. "Much interesting stuff had to be cut".
Nice try, Ann, but do you really see a difference?
This time around we might do better than Bernardine. No question the scoundrels who pilloried Bernardine have fell into disgrace with their horrible cover-ups.
Mark, What is your point?
David Gibson,
I think you have very clearly shown that the affirmation of Cdl. Bernadin's "seamless garment" ethic is being embraced and re-affirmed by Pope Francis. This is a very hopeful sign. I am puzzled by Mark Proska's ad hominem repsonse to you, especially in light of his post on various threads where he touted his pwn "jounalistic" credentials. Pot calling the kettle black? He should not be allowed to derail this very important discussion of the Bernadin legacy, which was undermined and scuttled by lesser minds among the hierarchy. They were threathened and challengd by Bernadin's approach because they misunderstoond what he was talking about and interpreted his meaning to be soft on abotion which of course he was not doing. The sticking point was always capital punishment because that did not fit with the bishops' Republican agenda. Here they even disagreed with JP II in Evangelium Vitae where he ruled it out for the most part by declaring it an extreme and rare option for the sake of the common good. He renedered it a virtual option rather than and actual one.
I sincerely hope that Bernadin's "seamless garment" approach will win the day now because it really does address the broader social justice concerns of the Church. There is no one better to front for this approach than Pope Francis.
I think you are misunderstanding Francis. As I understand it, the core of his message is a return to the core of the experience of faith, as knowledge of the risen Christ in the sacramental life of the Church. As such, one of his main targets is the reduction of faith to ethics. On the contrary, I do not recall Bernardin ever "getting" this crucial problem.
I will be happy to be proven wrong, but in my recollection Bernadin's concern was very much ethical, to establish some sort of comprehensive ethical approach to various issues. As such, it was also a very "political" approach, and moved within the context of the US division between "liberals" and "conservative." Such division is perfectly irrelevant to Francis, adn so is the question of a "ethical synthesis." In fact, I would go as far as saying that his approach moves in the exact opposite direction, but you are reading it through a North-American lens.
Bishop McElroy's article in the Oct. 7 issue of "America" on the "Church of the Poor" and the emphasis that Pope Francis is giving to that theme makes favorable reference to Cardinal Bernardin's "seamless garment" metaphor. In my view that refeerence is well grounded. I suggest that Mr. Lancellotti re-think his comments in the light of the McElroy piece.
Carlo Lancellotti,
I think you have misunderstood what Cdl. Bernadin's work as all about.
Here is a short quotation that summarizes what he had hoped for in the Common Ground Project that would overcome the polarization in the Church brought about by the culture wars over hot button issues. He locates faith at the center of his project:
"American Catholics must reconstitute the conditions for addressing our differences constructively—a common ground centered on faith in Jesus, marked by accountability to the living Catholic tradition, and ruled by a renewed spirit of civility, dialogue, generosity, and broad and serious consultation." Called to Be Catholic: Church in A Time of Peril, August 12, 1996
I believe it was his opponents who played the politics in order to win support from their Republican allies.
Mr. Dauenhauer:
thank you for the reference. I quickly read the article online but I could not find the "seamless garment" reference.
But, in any case, I think Bishop McElroy is providing exactly a "Bernardinian" interpretation of the Pope's teaching: as primarily ethical and as a call to political action. While I am not opposed to any of the specific suggestions he makes, I stand by my previous comments about the fact that Francis's primarily concern is actually to move away from an ethics-centered discussion. The Church in the US has been stuck for half a century in a conversation about what Augusto Del Noce called the "reconciliation of virtues," as if all the different virtues did not stem from a common source, namely the encounter with the living Christ.
Incidentally, the predominantly ethical emphasis of much American Catholicism (on both sides of the ideological barricades) has not done much good for the poor either.
thank you for the quote. To me the invitation to "reconstitute the conditions for addressing our differences constructively" is a perfect example of what I was talking about. It essentially is a (intra-ecclesial) political project driven by a high ethical purpose, which naturally for Catholics is "centered on faith in Jesus." That does not make it wrong, nor does it make Cardinal Bernardin a bad person. Simply, it is not what Pope Francis has been talking about.
What Francis said, or seems to have said, will probably be the topic of debate for a while. Most will interpret according to their bias. http://americamagazine.org/issue/found-translation
Carlo --
Please tell us what you think the relationship is between faith and ethics.
As I read what you've said, you seem to be suggesting that faith does not include ethics, that one can be faithful without ethics, and you seem to see faith as the preserve of conservatives while ethics is the preserve of liberals.
Mr. Lancellotti, instead of referring to Bishop McElroy's "America" articel, I should have referred to the interview he gave to"La Stampa" published Oct. 24. In the last paragraph, he refers to "Cardinal Bernardin's seamless garment approach that saw all the life issues as part of a continuum linked by the Catholic notions of compassion and justice."
I don't know whether this will change your view, but I think Ann is right to note that, for Catholics, faith and ethics are by no means separable.
To suggest that Cardinal Bernardin reduced the content of faith to political ethics is preposterous. Proof? Nothing if not a profound and robust faith in Jesus Christ and the Catholic tradition motivated the late Cardinal in his articulation of the consistent ethic of life.
As the pope's namesake is alleged to have said (fact checking seems to disprove this attribution --- http://thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/tgc/2012/07/11/factchecker-misquoting-francis-of-assisi/ ---, but the dictum is valid nonetheless): "Preach the Gospel at all times. Use words if necessary."
In other words, be sure that your deeds match your words, i.e., be ethical.
David Philippart:
you are using the word "political" in an excessively narrow, secular sense. I was referring to the fact that Bernarding was clearly concerned about healing intra-ecclesial divisions, and coming up with a consistent ethical frameworks that everybody could share (the famous "seamless garment"). As worthy as that idea may be, I call that a "political" project (where of course the "polis" was American Catholicism) , and certainly it is not what Francis has been speaking about.
Ann and Mr. Dauehauer:
yes, of course faith and ethics are linked, although it would be very presumptuous to try and analyze their relationship in a blog comment. That does not affect my point: that Francis has not been talking about reconciling, say, opposition to abortion and opposition to social injustice in one consistent ethical proposal. He has been primarily talking about knowing Jesus better and making him better known. Of course, that has also ethical consequences.
David P rightly points out that you offer no proof whatsover. Nothing new. What else can Francis be talking about when he stresses that we should not lay the emphasis in one area (read cultural wars with the issues you know)? The seamless garment means that you cannot lay aside one item of the Gospel and only stress what you prefer. It is really simple. Give us a break.
proof of what? Just go read what he writes. He never says that the question is to balance various areas. He says that we should not fixate on certain moral teachings because it is an obstacle to evangelization inasmuch as distracts us from encountering Christ and witnessing to him. I challenge you to find a quote where he says that we should not fixate on certain moral teaching in order to make space for other moral teachings. There is none. Do you find that hard to understand?
Carlo: The pope gave an interview published in Jesuit journals last month. In it he says the very things you say he did not say. We can debate issues here but your accusatory tone is not helpful, and in my experience is likely as not to rebound to your disadvantage -- see below:
"We cannot insist only on issues related to abortion, gay marriage and the use of contraceptive methods. This is not possible. I have not spoken much about these things, and I was reprimanded for that. But when we speak about these issues, we have to talk about them in a context. The teaching of the church, for that matter, is clear and I am a son of the church, but it is not necessary to talk about these issues all the time."
"The dogmatic and moral teachings of the church are not all equivalent. The church's pastoral ministry cannot be obsessed with the transmission of a disjointed multitude of doctrines to be imposed insistently. Proclamation in a missionary style focuses on the essentials, on the necessary things: this is also what fascinates and attracts more, what makes the heart burn, as it did for the disciples at Emmaus. We have to find a new balance; otherwise even the moral edifice of the church is likely to fall like a house of cards, losing the freshness and fragrance of the Gospel. The proposal of the Gospel must be more simple, profound, radiant. It is from this proposition that the moral consequences then flow."

my sympathy goes all out to miss doe,but don't say she did nothing wrong. tell it like it is, not like you'd like it to be. the worst healing she will have, is keeping you gossip mongers from having to relive this ordeal until you all find something else to talk about. by the way, been there, done that. thanks for the rehashing!!!

Jane Doe needs all of our support. She did nothing that deserves what happened to her that night of the alcohol party. We can only hope that she heals over time, and that all those involved directly in the rape or tried to cover it up are brought to justice. The grand jury in April goes a long way into getting that done.

I have a problem with a List ribbon button that disappears. The only thing that has happend that I know of is that the wsp was redeployed and the site-feature (which creates the list) was reactivated. But somehow, the button won't show anymore... Anyone who has an idea what the problem could be here?
The anwser to this problem is really strange... I forgot to mention I've edited the page in my list and changed the "Toolbar type" in the list-view-webpart to "No toolbar". But by setting this, custom action buttons in the ribbon hide...
So I solved it by setting it to "Full toolbar" again, and the ribbon button becomes visible again!
There would be a few things for you to check, but it goes down to simply investigating what the solution package is doing (provided you are using the rest as being the Out-of-the-box styles and master page from SharePoint).
Try deactivating whatever Features is activating. If any custom Action is part of the feature, or a faulty CSS class is doing that, at least you should be able to notice it.

Can one parametrise any closed curve by the angle its tangent makes to the $x$-axis? I seem to remember that this is only possible for convex curves. Could anyone tell me why, please?
Also is necessarily true that for convex curves, the mean curvature is always positive? I can see why since the mean curvature is kinda like a second derivative and for convex functions the second derivative is positive..

No More Heroes: Activision to remove Guitar Hero, DJ Hero downloadable songs from online storesWritten by: / / 8 Comments
Activision has announced that the publisher intends to remove all downloadable songs for its 'Hero' range of rhythm music games from online storefronts including Xbox LIVE and PlayStation Network by the end of March.
The news was announced on the official Guitar Hero Facebook page, as Activision revealed that "the downloadable songs for the Guitar Hero, DJ Hero and Band Hero games, and the Guitar Hero mobile game will no longer be available after March 31, 2014."
"The Guitar Hero servers will stay online," the statement continued, "and any previously purchased downloadable content is unaffected by this change."
To mark the occasion, and to thank the community for its support of the Guitar Hero franchise for the past nine years, Activision will be discounting select songs and tracks by 50% on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii, while the mobile version of the game will also be discounted on iTunes until the end of March.
Are there still songs in the Guitar Hero catalogue that you've been keen to buy or have you long since packed away the plastic instruments?

Join us on Monday, November 26, 2012 from 4:00-5:30 pm in the Jerome Greene Annex for an interactive workshop on "Lawyering for Change in Gender and Sexuality Law." This workshop is the second in the "Lawyering for Change in Changing Times" series sponsored by the Law School's Public Interest Committee to engage with questions about current and future roles and opportunities for lawyers interested in addressing social justice issues. As has become clear after the recent election and in the marriage cases currently seeking review at the U.S. Supreme Court, lawyers have a significant role to play regarding an array of gender and sexuality issues, including access to contraception; work/family balance; trafficking; and LGBT equality, among many others. This session will bring together students, faculty, staff, and practicing lawyers to talk and brainstorm together about using legal training in multidimensional ways - and in a rapidly changing climate - to address these and other sexuality and gender law issues. Even as conventional lawyering strategies continue, litigation and legislative advocacy are hardly the only fronts on which lawyers are working. The session aims to provide a forum for thinking together about these and other roles, as well as the challenges and emerging opportunities for lawyers interested in doing work in this area. Refreshments will be served. Please RSVP to Sigourney LaBarre at firstname.lastname@example.com. We look forward to seeing you. Professors Suzanne Goldberg, Susan Sturm, Ariela Dubler, Katherine Franke, and Olati Johnson.

Tropical Storm Debby Discussion Number 5
Nws National Hurricane Center Miami Fl
1000 Am Cdt Sun Jun 24 2012
It Is A Very Difficult And Highly Uncertain Forecast This Morning.
Debby Has Been Moving Very Slowly Toward The Northeast...040 At 3
Knots...While The Wind Radii Have Been Expanding In The Eastern
Semicircle. This Has Prompted Additional Tropical Storm Warnings
And Watches For Portions Of The Florida Coast.
Debby Continues To Be Sheared With Most Of The Thunderstorm Activity North And East Of The Center.
This Shear Is Expected To Continue For The Next Day Or So...Although Some Decrease In The Shear Is Possible After That...Particularly If The Ecmwf Verifies.
The Official Forecast Is A Little Less Aggressive Than The Previous
Forecast...But Remains Above Most Of The Explicit Intensity Guidance.
The Track Forecast Is Even More Complex.
The Gfs Insists On A Track Toward The Northeast As Debby Becomes Embedded Within A Large Mid-Latitude Trough.
However...The Ecmwf And The Hwrf Build A Ridge To The North Of Debby And Forecast A Westward Track.
Given The Westward Turn Inherited From The Previous Forecast...As Well As The Historical Strong Record Of The Ecmwf...The New Official Forecast Moves Debby Initially A Little Bit To The Northeast To Reflect
Current Trends But Then Turns The Cyclone Back Toward The West Or
West-Northwest In 24 To 36 Hours.
A Majority Of The Gfs Ensemble Members Now Are Consistent With The Deterministic Run...Which Was Not The Case Yesterday...Making A Stronger Case For The Eastward Solution.
We Must Be Ready To Make A Change Of The Forecast Track At Any Time.

I am interested where bitopological spaces occur in various parts of mathematics (i.e., what are natural examples of bitopological spaces stemming from various areas of mathematics, not from the studying bitopological spaces for their own sake.)
I would also like to know where bitopological spaces have some applications in various parts in mathematics. I quote from the discussion which motivated me to ask about them (I am quoting Theo B.): "a reasonable definition of an application: a result that doesn't mention the objects of study in the statement but uses them in the proof" (edit T.B.: This is a paraphrase of Paul Balmer's strict applications mentioned by him e.g. in his ICM talk, p.2).
The discussion in the comments to Brian M. Scott's answer here motivated me to ask about bitopological spaces.
I am not sure to which extent my background is important, but I never studied bitopological spaces, although I have read two papers on quasi-metric spaces, which are a special case.

I'm looking for a set of outlines of the river basins in the UK - I don't need a particularly detailed or highly accurate map - just a map saying point X will drain into the Thames or point Y will just go into the sea! Just the main river names would be fine. I have the full Environment Agency rivers set and the OS DTMs if I want... but how do I convert this into a catchment boundary?
ps. Sorry about the poor tagging I can't find suitable existing and I don't have the rep to create new ones.

The U.S. Postal Service in Clarksville, Tennessee says it is destroying dozens of children's books that can't be delivered as part of the Governor's Books from Birth Foundation.
The Leaf-Chronicle reported Friday that for years, the local post office agreed to set aside those undelivered books until a volunteer could pick them up because the foundation wasn't paying to have them returned.
But David Walton of the USPS says that's a violation of policy and it's not fair to businesses who do pay for the right to get undelivered mail returned. More than 70 books are being shredded every month.
The foundation provides funding for children to be enrolled in Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, which sends out a new book to children every month.

Presidential Platform 2048
"More places to live. . . more places to eat. . . more lemonade stands. . . and more hoedowns."
My four-year-old niece's answer to the question what her platform will be when she runs for President of the United States.
Sounds pretty good to me . . .

Where do I get a ballot?!
Mark,Don't be too hasty. We don't yet know her position on ice cream.
I can assure you that she is unreservedly pro-ice cream. In fact, she might favor a constitutional amendment proclaimng a positive right to ice cream.
Okay, if I can live that long and we have cross border voting, can I get in on that election too. I mean a right-to-ice cream, I'm all for it.John
Before long, you just know that lobbiests supporting lemon growers and dairy producers are going to be knocking on your door. It might be time to have "that" conversation with your daughter where you explain the meaning of the word "subsidy."
I hereby second her nomination.(Do we have a move to nominate? :)
Hello All,I move to nominate.I'd be pleased if my five year old niece were her running mate. My niece is also pro-ice cream. And she likes animals, cooking and books. She has never been to a hoedown, but I have taken her every year to the county fair in her home county, where there are many animals and ice cream. Good complementary qualifications, no?
Perfect. . . I think there needs to be a play date. . . national party convention, Peter! Let's see. . . what's the mascot of this new party. . . . not an elephant. . . not a donkey. . . maybe My Little Pony!
Cathleen,Sound like a good Party. Kids are always asking you to "pony up" much like legislators everywhere. I have a just-about-two year old grandson, so maybe we could make this an international party. Secretary of Games sounds about right.John
Hello Cathleen (and all),As it happens, my niece is also a fan of My Little Pony! I sometimes watch My Little Pony stories on TV with her when I am in her home in California. Though I confess I like reading with her and cooking with her better than watching TV with her. Maybe someday I'll learn how to make ice cream and then I can please both my niece and yours. (I'm not a good dessert cook so my niece and I make dishes together like Italian caprese salad.) Take care, ~P.

FALL RIVER — A social worker was assaulted and robbed after finishing a home visit Tuesday afternoon on Reuben Street, police said.
The victim, a 27-year-old man, said he had just finished visiting a client at 75 Reuben St., when a man, who had his face covered with a sweatshirt, approached him on the street, and without warning, punched him in the left eye, Fall River Detective JD Costa said.
After the victim fell to the ground, the assailant went through his pockets and took his cash. The assailant is described as a black man, between 6 feet, 2 inches to 6 feet, 4 inches tall, weighing about 270 to 280 pounds and wearing dark clothing, Costa said.
Officer Derek Beaulieu interviewed the victim at the social service agency, which Costa declined to identify. The victim said he would seek medical attention on his own.
Detectives are investigating. Anyone with information is asked to call the Fall River Police Department's Major Crimes Division at 508-324-2796, or call the police department's anonymous tips line at 508-672-TIPS.

What is the best way to communicate with others such that they will make strides to consider alternative viewpoints? I feel this would help to reduce anger in groups.
How to Win Friends and Influence People has some good ideas:
Emotional Intelligence can be something useful to study here as well.
Change or Die would be a book recommendation to consider if we are looking more at aiming at someone's behavior and the challenges associated with that. The book has multiple case studies that cover a lot of different areas including criminals, auto workers, and heart patients. There is a point about "Recasting one's story" that is similar to your remorse point though there can be the "acting as if" that may be done to get the reframing first that then leads to one wanting to make amends.
The Thomas-Kilmann Model would be a conflict resolution tool that may be useful to consider at times. Which resolution strategies do you use regularly? Which do you understand well enough to apply in various situations?
The only way to do this is through love. That is, propose a different perspective and a loving way. Be humble, show humility and respect others regardless of who they are. I learned this from the Bible, Jesus as the ultimate example. Love is not a feeling we have; it's a decision to treat people the way Jesus would treat them.

Dell and HP Laptops with Free Laptop Bag & Free Shipping – Starting at $199.97 (Refurbished)
Look at that! You'll even get a handy little carrying case for it for FREE! Really, there's no good reason NOT to buy this right now.
11 Comments add a comment
Don't know about the company, but I can vouch for E6400s.
Easy to service and upgrade. Relatively lightweight. Keyboard is pretty decent, and it also has a trackpoint, although it's nowhere near as good as ThinkPad's. Also note that, while it's relatively sturdy, it's nowhere near the level of ThinkPad's; your LCD WILL ripple if pressed from the top hard enough.
Although, I'm wondering: is it worth $240? With questionable battery life of refurb laptops, I'm not too sure.
@namorama: it's got the crap low res panel too. And I laugh at the Mortal Kombat images. I wouldn't pay that much for them but havong a year's warranty does add value and they are tanks.
look at previous offers from this company and talk to the people who bought from them. You wont be walking but running for your life in opposite direction.
personally when i see ebay i turn the opposite way. I clicked on the link, because I was interested till I saw the ebay layout and went to this page again and saw the ebay logo. I had too many bad experience with ebay and paypal to ever use there services, no matter what deal I am dealing with.

Hello Wooters. My name is Andy and my company is offering these laptops today. They're both rock solid laptops built with commercial components. They're perfect for email, web surfing, facebooking, homework, light games, and much more. They come fully loaded with a New Windows 7 Premium License from Microsoft. We are 1 of only 16 Microsoft Authorized Refurbishers in the country and we stand behind these laptops with a full 1 year warranty. I'll be here all day if you have any questions. You can also call us toll free at 855-252-4784. Thanks!!
@shinespark: We tried to have a full Mortal Kombat face off for this sale but the Woot writers went lame on us. Dell vs. HP Round 1....Fight!
They also have an 8GB PNY Flash Drive for $3.99 with Free Shipping, not a bad deal.
@searchneverend: I'm not sure why you feel that our past deals created negativity. If you look, you'll see that 99% of the comments listed on them are positive. That is SUPER rare for Woot. You can also check us out every other way on the internet. We're an elite member of ResellerRatings.com, a Top Seller on Ebay, we won Angie's List Super Service Award, and we have an A rating with the BBB. Check out our facebook page too. It's filled with good stuff. No company is perfect but we try our absolute best to keep a customer for life. At least 50% of our business is repeat customers.
I bought the HP 6910P from them via their eBay store last summer (after seeing one of their sponsored deals here). My model has upgraded specs (4GB RAM, 120GB hard drive, DVD-RW) and I paid $50 more.
It arrived looking like new. I've had no problems and it runs great, even handles Photoshop well. Got a new battery for it. No issues with the vendor. Can't comment on customer service since I haven't had to contact them—I've just been a happy camper.
I bought the E6400 Core 2 Duo last month to upgrade my kid's lame netbook. BTG was happy and quick to rectify a screen problem. I have nothing but good things to say about BTG and I'm planning to replace my other kid's netbook with one of these off-lease corporate laptops shortly.
Oh, and it does have a DisplayPort for high-quality external graphics, but since the built-in screen is high resolution anyway, you probably won't need it.
EDIT It has WiFi which you might expect but it also comes with a reinstallation DVD, which is really useful, and these laptops have built-in Bluetooth, which is actually more useful than you might have thought it is.

Unanswered: getSelection() returns Store data, not grid data
I'm using a gridpanel which uses a store to populate the template-checkboxes in each column.
It seems that when I check some boxes, and do the following:
PHP Code:
var grid = myGridPanel.getSelectionModel();
var records = grid.getSelection();
8 Dec 2012 4:46 AM #2
the data is always only in the store. the grid just provides a view for the store data. its not clear to me what is not working and what you want to do. Could you explain it a little more please?
10 Dec 2012 6:32 AM #3
I wrongly assumed that a grid object would let me get at grid data. My intention was to let the user configure the checkboxes in the grid as desired, and make only one call to save/update the store.

I'm travelling within the US and am a British citizen. Can I travel without my passport and just show my UK driver's license instead?
TSA website has a list of acceptable IDs. From this I would read that only a foreign government-issued passport is acceptable for those travelling without the requisite US (or Canadian) forms of ID.
It's worth noting that if you're just driving, then you need either both forms of your UK driver's license if pulled over, OR the paper form + passport.
One point worth noting is that they're REALLY strict on PASSPORT ID for bars and clubs. I've tried and failed several times to use a UK driver's license, and spoken with many travellers with the same problem. Passport really is required.
The US has a number of circumstances where "government issued ID" is demanded and an "out of state" drivers license isn't good enough, escalating immediately to passport. This includes things like checking into a hotel, picking up your badge at a conference and (I am not making this up) buying medication for a head cold. Mark mentioned getting into a bar which is not an issue for me, but the point is that people want to see your ID rather more than I (a Canadian) expect them to, and if you're not local, they want to see a passport. If an internal domestic flight might not mind you using your UK drivers license, that wouldn't mean that once you got into the States you could ship your passport off for visa-getting purposes or whatnot, because chances are you'll need it pretty regularly while you're there.

PNCA Launches Campaign, CREATIVITY WORKS HERE
At its 10th annual gala, PNCA announced the launch of a $15 million philanthropic campaign, CREATIVITY WORKS HERE, in support of its strategic move to renovate the historic former federal post office at 511 NW Broadway and to anchor the PNCA campus on the North Park Blocks in downtown Portland.
PNCA's Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Center for Art and Design from PNCA – Pacific Northwest College on Vimeo.
PNCA announced a significant gift of $5 million from The Harold & Arlene Schnitzer CARE Foundation to name the renovated building the Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Center for Art and Design. The gift is the largest from an alumna or alumnus in the school's 103-year history. Arlene Schnitzer will serve as an honorary co-chair for the campaign, along with Dorothy 'Dolly' Lemelson, a longtime supporter who has established a major scholarship program at PNCA and is a Visionary sponsor for the College's annual gala to support its Annual Fund.
Supporters have committed more than $6.5 million to the Campaign to date. Gifts include $500,000 from the late Ernie Swigert in honor of former PNCA president Sally Lawrence, $100,000 from the late Ed Cauduro, who established the Ed Cauduro Scholars at PNCA in 2008 with a gift of $1,000,000 through the Oregon Community Foundation, and a planning award of $50,000 from the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation. PNCA also has received a $740,000 grant from the Portland Development Commission for project planning and design.
Acclaimed architect Brad Cloepfil and his firm, Allied Works Architecture, revealed a dramatic design for the adaptive reuse, which is anticipated to cost $30 million and be completed during the 2014-15 academic year. The overall project will be funded through a combination of private philanthropy, tax credits, financing, and grants.
"This is an historic moment for the College and for the City of Portland," said Ann Edlen, Chair of the PNCA Board of Governors. "We are extraordinarily grateful for Arlene's support and leadership in this transformational effort. This gift, coming from a committed alumna, validates all that we believe about the power of a PNCA education to change the world with creative and design thinking and making. I am also pleased to announce that the project has 100% participation from our talented and dedicated Board of Governors."

PNCA Receives Gift of Memory 99 for its Permanent Collection
At its 10th annual gala, PNCA announced that it had received a gift to its permanent art collection of an important work by alumnus Lee Kelly '59. The Ford Family Foundation gave the College a special, one-time gift to acquire Kelly's Memory 99 as part of the Foundation's evolving Visual Arts program established to honor the interests and memory of one of its co-founders, Mrs. Hallie Ford. Memory 99 is intended to be installed in the North Park Blocks in proximity to PNCA's Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Center for Art and Design (511 NW Broadway) for which the College announced a capital campaign and lead gift of $5 million from The Harold & Arlene Schnitzer CARE Foundation.
Memory 99 is one of Kelly's most well known architectural sculptures, a complex, direct-weld work created out of Cor-Ten steel that is 23 feet wide, 11 feet high, and over six feet in depth. The Portland Art Museum installed the massive Memory 99 at the entrance to its Lee Kelly retrospective exhibition in 2010.

I'm trying to get an idea of Drinfeld's Zastava space. It seems to be an infinite-dimensional version of the flag variety, for affine Lie algebras.
But, first of all, why is it called Zastava (Застава)? Sadly I don't understand Russian and I don't understand the connotation. Googling gave me this Wikipedia article about a car company first. But I don't think a car company has much to do with these spaces, or does it?
Apparently it means "outpost" in Russian. But why an outpost? Drinfeld seems to be Ukrainian (again, from Wikipedia) and zastava means "pledge"?
Is it an outpost to a greater understanding of these spaces? Is it a pledge of mathematicians to understand more???

GXT Pagination Grid - Populate XML String as Grid Column Data
I am using GXT 2.2.4. I have a Grid where I am populting the list of records. One of the Grid column contains XML String data. When I populate this column in the GRID, I am only getting the plain text without any XML contents.
For example, the expected XML String in the column is,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><emailConfiguration><Name>TESTApplication</Name><AppName>TESTAPP</AppName><From>XX</From><To>YY</To><Subject>Email Notification</Subject></emailConfiguration>
But the actual data populated in the column is,
TESTApplicationTESTAPPXXYYEmail Notification
Can you please suggest a way to populate and display the GRID column with XML content.
Thanks in advance

Inbuilt Function?
I also have same issue with my data. Is there any inbuilt function which can do this.

Assuming a relatively recent version of GWT, look at SafeHtmlUtils.fromString(String) or htmlEscape(String), depending on if you need a SafeHtml object for GXT 3 grid or a String for GXT 2. GXT 2.3.0 also added El.toSafeHTML(String) to properly escape a html string.
All of these are designed to properly escape content to be rendered in html without tags - this will work for xml as well as html.

I'm curious how much damage is potentially inflicted by shear stress by pipetting. I know that with syringes for stem cell injection cause a lot of damage. However, to what extend does this happen with P20 and P200 pipet tips? Understandably the shear modulus of bacterial cells are significantly different from cancer cells which will be different from stem cells.
This is an excellent question, I have been training people to culture cells for about 12 years and students have a hard time grasping this and appreciating the importance etc.
What cells are usually experiencing during pipetting is analogous to a crowd of people trying to fit through the doorway of a building. Shearing during pipetting is certainly a legitimate concern in cell culture. You will notice its negative effect on viability most explicitly when pipetting cells in freezing medium (containing DMSO) following a thaw. Until their DMSO concentration drops their membranes are weaker & more fluid. That's why you pipette the frozen cells drop-wise to the fresh medium, to be especially gentle at this point.
Prokaryotic cells such as the above mentioned TOP10 cells are treated with Calcium chloride and glycerol which has essentially the same effect on their walls and membranes. Hence pipetting should be delicately performed after thawing these cells as well.
With that being said, if you compare the sensitivity of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells to shearing, eukaryotic cells are profoundly more sensitive.
For individuals using competent bacteria for sub-cloning and other routine uses, killing a small percentage of of your cells is not that important. However if you are using the transformation to generate cDNA libraries it's very important that you have a titer sufficiently representing the transcriptome the library is composed of.
In these instances using a more premium competent cell, adhering to correct temperatures and minimizing pipetting is essential. This is why many are taught to swirl the DNA the with the competent cells, rather than the harsher alternative: pipetting up-and-down.
The four most important factors that contribute to cellular shearing are, and in order form most to least contributory:
Because the make up if the cell itself is so influential on the amount of damage, and because of the enormous variety of cells; designing a representative experiment to assess damage would be very difficult and laborious.
Finally, the variety of tips and seriologicals is also enormous. However if one were to attempt to assess this it could be done:
Choose a representative variety of cell lines, choose a representative variety of pipettes. One would probably want to use a robotic pipette to be able to evaluate incrementally assigned speeds and pressures. Look at different culture concentrations, phases of the growth curve, time between pipetting and analysis, distance between the exiting fluid and the culture etc, etc.
I think a very successful analysis method would be using propidium iodide and FACS.
After your experiment which will cost a lot of time and $, I think you will find common sense rules: keep pipetting to a minimum and use wider tips whenever possible.
It's an easy experiment to do. Take your cells aliquot them into 10 microfuge tubes, and pipette each suspension increasing amount of times, stain with trypan blue and count.
The most important factors will be which pipette-type you use; I would expect a p1000 to cause more damage then a p200 then a p20 due to velocity of the fluid. Also the most important factor will be the skill of the scientist, if you pipette slowly it should decrease stress as opposed to pipetting quickly.
In my experience it depends on the pipette-type and the skill of the operator. The only way to answer this for you is to try it empirically.
Anecdotally I have not observed any cell death upon pipetting of E. coli DH5alpha or TOP10, however as competent cells, mixing by pipetting up and down is discouraged due to the compromised cell wall.
This question would be better served in the physics se or chemistry. I don't think we have a generic engineering where fluid dynamics could be described in a different method than physics but if we did it should also be answered there.
Indeed the osmotic or liquid pressure in and of itself would cause changes possibly damages to the cell. Then other eexothermic and endothermic reactions to the chemicals due to force of impact like a chem or friction burn.
I'm sure the other requirements of conservation of energy which I half-hazardly ignored.
I found this interesting paper which focuses on the shear stress in general.
Shear stress $\tau$ in this small sizes is usually measured in dyne/cm2 or N/m2 = Pa. The equations betweeen them: $1dyn/cm^2 = 10^{-5}N/cm^2 = 0.1N/m^2 = 0.1Pa$.
What kind of damages zygotes can suffer by pipetting?
Even a small 1.2 dyn/cm2 shear stress induces apoptosis by pipetting zygotes. So zygotes have their critical shear stress level by 1.2 dyn/cm2 and pipetting involves greater forces than 1.2 dyn/cm2.
The critical shear stress level is somewhere between 0.01 and 1000 dyn/cm2 by animal cells depending on the cell type and species. (I think the average is somewhere about 50 dyn/cm2, but it is very hard to differentiate between articles mentioning critical shear levels and most lethal shear levels, so the range and the average might be lower.) The death constant (1/h) increases exponentially by increasing the shear stress.
Other cell types are not necessary as sensitive as animal cells and they don't necessary react with apoptosis (about 10 dyn/cm2) to shear stress, so you have to use necrotic (about 5000 dyn/cm2) forces to destroy them :
The shear sensitivity is not determined only by cell type and species, there are many other factors involved:
Cells can be very sensitive to shear stress caused by turbulent flow, while not so sensitive to shear stress caused by laminar flow.
The bubble damage is severe (1000 cells by a single 3.5mm size bubble) because of the cell adherence to the interface of the bubble and the strong forces involved (>1000 dyn/cm2 by stirred bioreactors). The adhesion and so the damage can be reduced with surfactants.
Smaller hole pipettes cause more damage.
It is hard to find anything about the level of shear stress by pipetting. It can be certainly more than 1 dyn/cm2. It has a short duration (at most a few seconds). I think the following factors can influence the shear stress levels by pipetting:
Probably more factors are involved but I am not a pipetting expert. ;-) I agree with the others, it surely depends on the personal skills e.g. an amateur can create huge bubbles by pipetting, which can kill a lot of cells by formation and disruption...
I agree with Artem that this is an experiment to do especially if the result is important for you. What you need to create a model about pipette damage, are the shear stress levels by pipetting and the critical shear stress levels of the cells. I think it is hard to design and experiment in which you can measure the shear stress levels in your pipettes and there is no flow model for pipetting as far as I know, so it can be a good topic for a thesis or a diploma work.

I understand that they are all adverbs (as opposed to "vor" and "bevor"), but can they be used interchangeably?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
First let me mention, that davor can be used in context of location.
It means "in front of that"... so "that" has to be clear to your audience.
The other 2 words are solely used for time!
Now looking at the meanings in time domain I'd say that davor and vorher are pretty much interchangeable... most of the time. Zuvor can be replaced by the other two as well, but they can't be replaced by zuvor in some cases. Why? Because zuvor is not very "pointing".
Davor, like any other word with da, is pretty much like pointing your finger to a point in time you have just mentioned.
This strong pointing is not always necessary and might sound odd. In such cases, the less "pointy" vorher is the best choice.
An example with davor as best choice (this is highly subjective though) would be:
Zuvor can be used in either case but it is the least pointing word and it sounds a bit old fashioned/epic/ "booky" (again very subjective). Not subjective however is the situation, where you can only use zuvor... You are in a restaurant and the waiter comes with the check. Still stunned by the meal you spontaneously state:
Davor doesn't work here because you don't have a good anchor to point at. Of course the waiter can assume that the referenced time is "now", but why make him do work, when there is better words. Vorher is a little better and yet it is a little more mundane than the high class zuvor. Another example for zuvor would be:
Seems like zuvor and nie get along very well :). Vorher and davor just can't capture the loooooong time you have not been so tired... they are rather short term references.
So, are they interchangeable? To be understood, certainly yes (except for said locational context of davor ) But they have a different tone to them, that is certain.
Hope I could help.

Good series! See Michael C. Hall in a good roll before he became Dexter.
Love love love this show! Some of the most well-developed characters ever. This is the only show that I've ever cried over when it ended, though the ending was very well done.
It was indeed. My DVD set arrived yesterday (see, I really did spring for it when the price got this low) and I'm looking forward to watching the whole thing again.
I can and have watched this series over and over....never before have I felt so connected to a cast of characters. Excellent show!!

After dropping the first 3 games of a 4-game series to Barton County, the Pratt Community College baseball team was badly in need of a win as they again took on the Cougars Wednesday afternoon at Stanion Field. They got exactly that, abusing the Bartons in run-rule fashion 10-0 to somewhat assuage the frustrations from earlier in the rescheduled series.
Sophomore southpaw Colton Lorance pitched a gem for the Beavers, going the distance in the game that was scheduled for 9, but abbreviated to 7 innings via the run-rule. Pitching to contact and aided by a competent defensive effort from the Beavers, Lorance tossed only 72 pitches over 7 innings for an extremely efficient outing.
The Beaver offense put up a run in the second inning, Garrett White driving in Jordan Jones with a sac fly. In the third inning, PCC plated 6 runs on only one hit, a Jared Lupo two-run double. The rest of the damage was caused by an error, three walks, and three HBP as Cougar generosity aided the Beavers in going up 7-0.
In the sixth, Lupo reached via the BB. Then a triple by Gaige Webster, a double from DH Trey Trahan and a single off the bat of Justin Crouch put PCC up 10-0.
Lorance would brush the Cougars aside in the top of 7 to preserve the 10-0 run-rule victory.
At 5-8 (3-5 conference), Pratt goes on a road trip, playing at Brown Mackie on Thursday (4 p.m.) and at Garden City on Saturday (1 p.m.)

Vigneault to Coach the New York Rangers
Alain Vigneault will be the next head coach of the New York Rangers, a person with knowledge of the situation has confirmed.
Vigneault spent the last seven seasons with the Vancouver Canucks, winning the Jack Adams Award as the NHL's coach of the year in 2007 and guiding the Canucks to the Stanley Cup Finals in 2011. He was fired on May 22 after the San Jose Sharks swept the Canucks in the first round of the playoffs.
Vigneault, 52, who also coached the Montreal Canadiens from 1997 to 2000, succeeds John Tortorella, whom Rangers general manager Glen Sather fired on May 29. Tortorella's dismissal came four days after the Rangers lost a second-round series to the Boston Bruins in five games.

I'm trying to get the user's cover photo and show it at the top of a layout. I'm using AsyncTask to run the API call to Facebook. The code I'm using to get the Facebook data is
JSONObject json = null;
response = Utility.facebook.request("me?fields=cover");
json = Util.parseJson(response);
The exception that stops the thread comes from a json error on the next step because the returned json is empty, even though the request clears through. I can get a proper json using just "me" or "me/albums" or anything other than "me?fields=cover". When I comment out the last line, 'try' process finishes with no exceptions/errors.
Is there something wrong with the Facebook API or am I doing something wrong?

BROWNSVILLE (September 23, 2012)—Space Explorations Technologies Corp., which operates a rocket test facility in McGregor west of Waco, is buying land in South Texas where the company is considering building a private rocket launch facility.
The Brownsville Herald reported Sunday that the commercial space exploration firm has purchased at least three lots in Cameron County under the name Dogleg Park LLC.
Property records show the owner's address is listed as SpaceX headquarters in California.
SpaceX is said to be considering possible sites for the facility not only in Texas, but also in Florida, Puerto Rico and perhaps Georgia.
Cameron County Judge Carlos Cascos, the county's top elected official, said the purchases don't guarantee that SpaceX has made its choice but called it a good sign.

The Morgan dollar was a United States dollar coin minted from 1878 to 1904, and then again in 1921. It was the first standard silver dollar minted since production of the previous design, the Seated Liberty dollar, ceased due to the passage of the Coinage Act of 1873, which also ended the free coining of silver. The coin is named for its designer, United States Mint Assistant Engraver George T. Morgan. The obverse depicts a profile portrait representing Liberty, while the reverse depicts an eagle with wings outstretched.
The Peace dollar is a United States dollar coin minted from 1921 to 1928, and again in 1934 and 1935. Designed by Anthony de Francisci, the coin was the result of a competition to find designs emblematic of peace. Its reverse depicts a Bald Eagle at rest clutching an olive branch, with the legend "Peace". It was the last United States dollar coin to be struck for circulation in silver.

Hi guys, I've encountered this issue adding a class to a node: if the node is a children, and the father was never been expanded, the element of the first node doesn't exists, and so the addClass is useless. I've done a workaround with the node.ensurevisible() followed by node.getUI().addClass('class') and by fathernode.collapse(), but there's better way for achieve my point? Thanks!

I often find myself editing files for my personal use that are plaintext. Either those are notes, annotations in project directories or sometimes the output of programs that I annotate.
However, sometimes I need to make a "nicer" document out of these plain text files in either MS Word or Latex. Now my question is: is there a simple tool that allows me to convert my plain text files into let's say directly a pdf, tex or doc for further editing that takes Wiki-Syntax into account?
I.e. I'm looking for a rapid prototyping tool for documents where I can annotate them in plain text with a syntax that is as simple as possible but then creates more complicated documents out of them for further editing.

End of Season 2009/10 - Dortmund - German Bundesliga
With the transfer window not yet shut I saw that Omar Toprak was available and snapped him up for 2.3m, an absolute steal. And knowing that Weidenfeller would be out for months and forgetting Enyeama would off at the ACN I loaned in Yann Sommer from Basel for 250k. For a total spend of 6m in the window and we recouped 2m back with the sale of Mohamed Zidan to Hoffenheim.
We opened the second half of the season with back to back draws but then went a amazy run winning the next four 4-1, 4-1, 4-0 and 3-1. A shock loss to Mainz away from home was smoothed over with the pummeling of Gladbach. A trio of poor results hit us hard as we fall back down to 7th from 4th. We ended the season strongly, beating Nurnberg, Hannover, Wolfsburg, Werder Bremen and Frieburg to move us up to 5th and see us pocket a massive 21m for the final position.
Looking at the squad now we have 5 class centre backs, 2 fine centre midfielders and 2 top rate strikers..its wide we look a little weak and thats the positions I will aim to strengthen. Barrios finished the season with 31 goals, he went on a 10 hour scoreless streak but Lewandowski managed to fill his boots and score 20 goals of his own during the season. Sahin managed 26 assists with left midfielder Hajnal contributed with 17.
I have screenshots if anybody wants me to load them up.

mango yoghurt popsicle recipe, a ferris wheel and two happy kids
The kids and I went off to the supermarket the other day in search of some yoghurt. I usually make my own, but stupidly used up the very last of it without saving a little to make my next batch. Duh. Anyways, here we were standing in front of the chiller section looking at all the yoghurts on offer. I really only needed the smallest tub of the natural stuff to get my new batch going, but for some strange reason I couldn't go past the huge 2kg tub of Greek yoghurt on special for $7. See I'm a sucker for bargains and stood there reasoning with myself that I really do love yoghurt, so why not pay a teeny bit more for a whopping great tub of it? Furthermore this way I could eat until my hearts content and still have those few tablespoons left at the end for my starter.
God when will I learn? There is always a reason things are on special. We arrived home all excited about the thick Greek yoghurt we were about to eat, spooned generously into bowls and eaten as quickly as possible... but as I opened the tub it soon became clear why it was reduced. Gulp. It looked like cottage cheese with thick curds floating in whey. Oh dear. At first I thought it was off, but after a quick smell and then a tentative taste it was revealed that it was in actual fact still edible, it had just been 'brewed' for way too long, or at too higher temperature. (See I've done that before myself, on a hot Perth day recently. I left my yoghurt doing it's thing for as long as I usually would in cooler weather, only to find later on it could have been put in the fridge hours earlier). It's lucky for me this Greek yoghurt was still edible because I use the self-serve checkouts at the supermarket and more often than not choose not to print out a receipt. Note to self: always print out a receipt if there is any slight chance of needing to return goods.
The kids immediately turned their noses up at it, declaring they no longer wanted any. But me being me I couldn't just waste it now could I? Especially when it's a whole 2kg of the stuff! I set about straining it all in a sieve set over a bowl, separating the curds and whey. The whey's still in the fridge waiting to be used to make bread while the thick strained yoghurt got used to make a couple of batches of these delicious mango and banana popsicles/ ice-blocks/ icy-poles (depending on where you are from).
They are basically a smoothie, frozen. With the combination of banana, mango and yoghurt making them super creamy and naturally sweet. They were perfect for us but if you like things a little sweeter (and always keeping in mind that freezing things mellows the sweetness also) you can add a little honey or agave nectar if that's your thing.
I'll leave you with a bunch of photos taken earlier today in Fremantle. Summer is in the air for sure...
I hope you've all had a beautiful weekend xxx ~emm
mango yoghurt popsicles
If fresh mangoes are not available (yes NZ I'm talking to you), I'm sure you could get away with using drained, tinned ones. To make these lactose-free, just use lactose-free plain yoghurt in place of the Greek yoghurt.
Makes 4-6 depending on the size of your moulds.
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled, seed removed and flesh roughly chopped
- 1 ripe banana, peeled
- 1 cup thick Greek yoghurt
Blend the mango and banana in a food processor until smooth. Add yoghurt and pulse a few times to just incorporate. Spoon into popsicle (ice-block/icy pole) moulds, push in the sticks and freeze overnight. Run the bottom of the moulds under warm water to release.

Great idea! It was 27 degrees today in Christchurch, which may not seem that hot to you but it was VERY warm for us! These would have gone down a treat :)ReplyDelete
Nah that's warm enough! It's been sitting around the mid 20's here in Perth for the last few weeks. It's perfect! Much nicer than the 40 degrees it's likely to reach in a few months ;-pReplyDelete
Seems so weird to be seeing Spring as we buckle down for winter over her in N. America! Will stash these away for when we get some some sun back! tessa@TessaDomesticDivaReplyDelete
Yummy! Those popsicles look and sound so good! Thank you for sharing! The pictures are great I love ferris wheels!ReplyDelete
I made a churned passionfruit frozen yoghurt the other day. Suprisingly it is still sitting in the freezer.! Your little popsicles look amazing :)ReplyDelete
Oooh, yummy! I have kilos of mango in the freezer right next to my black skinned banannas, I could process them with the yoghurt and quickly refreeze them- Yumm...ReplyDelete
Have you tried using pro-biotics to use as a starter for your yoghurt? I'm going to give them a try with my coconut yoghurt.
Yep that's exactly what I did to make these, our freezer is crammed full of frozen mango slices too :-)ReplyDelete
I haven't tried using pro-biotics as my starter, do you just buy that in powder form from the health food store? I've read about using it to make coconut yoghurt but am yet to research it further...
I think that our kids would be happy too with a ferris wheel and mango popsicles!!!ReplyDelete
BTW, there are 5 chances to win my book in Australia as well as NZ, so you could give it a try! Info here http://alessandrazecchini.blogspot.com/2011/11/pairing-chocolate-with-rose-and.html
Wow you are truly resourceful! These look beautiful, would make a lovely summer dessert :)ReplyDelete
Tried commenting last night but the computer went stupid so: the mango ice blocks look gorgeous (and thanks for the concession to canned mango ;) but what I was really wondering is how do you use whey in bread recipes? What does it do exactly? I love the idea of not having to waste it next time I make cheese :)ReplyDelete
Love homemade popsicles, especailly fruity yoghurt ones, yum yum!ReplyDelete
Laura @ hungryandfrozen~ Oh yes, no need to waste whey, it's amazing stuff. Full of protein and calcium. It's great added to smoothies or used in bread in place of all or some of the water content. It improves the texture of bread, giving more structure (always good with gf breads!) and give a nice golden colour to the crust. It's great used in things like scones (kinda works a little like buttermilk I reckon). I store it in the fridge for up to 3-4 days or freeze it for later use. I don't usually have much hanging around these days but when I used to make milk kefir (I need to buy more grains!) I used to have excess whey all the time!ReplyDelete
If you're brave (like my mum) you can even just skull it back straight to get a shot of nutrients ;-)
Perfect cooler for those hot Aussie days.ReplyDelete
I was hoping you could tell me! I'm looking into it, usually I just use a little 'regular yoghurt ' as my starter with the coconut milk but want to make a completely dairy free one.ReplyDelete
Hrrm, can't remember where it was I've read about making dairy-free coconut yoghurt? If I come across it again I'll email it through xxReplyDelete
Perfect for a hot summer's day!ReplyDelete
