A truck driver was able to back his vehicle out from under an Omaha pedestrian bridge after becoming stuck trying to make a turn Thursday morning.
The semi was eastbound on West Center Road when it became stuck under the pedestrian span trying to go right onto South 108th Street. No one was hurt and the truck sustained minor damage.
The bridge did not appear to be damaged, but a city engineer will check it.
The driver was cited by police for ignoring the traffic sign warning of clearance restrictions and for hitting a fixed object. Traffic was slowed for a time going through the intersection northeast of the Rockbrook Village Shopping Center east of Interstate 680.

Unusual vigil for slain Puerto Rican boxerJanuary 31, 2014 @ 1:49 pm
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) - A slain boxer in Puerto Rico has received an unusual send off.
Christopher Rivera was memorialized at his wake standing up in a makeshift boxing ring set up in a community center of a San Juan public housing complex.
The 23-year-old wore sunglasses, boxing gloves and a yellow-and-black boxing uniform. Police said he was shot on Jan. 26. No one has been arrested.
Marin Funeral Home Vice President Elsie Rodriguez told The Associated Press Friday that it took them several hours to create the scene. She said Rivera had told his relatives that if he died, he wanted his boxing career acknowledged at his funeral.
The funeral home is well-known for having previously created other thematic wakes, including one featuring a deceased man riding his motorcycle.

Linus Torvalds seeks REDEMPTION for every coded SIN
Linus Torvalds is going away this week. He's not saying where he's going, or why, but "the fact that I'll be traveling with very bad internet connection next week" was enough for the lord of Linux to push version 3.12 of the kernel out the door on Sunday. Torvalds made the announcement that 3.12 is now with us on the Linux …

I believe that that might be a reference to Ubuntu.. But I could be wrong.
And speaking of wrong... Don't get me wrong. I like Ubuntu. I install it on systems for people that are tired of Windoze and all the virus hunts they've been subjected to. It (Ubuntu) is easy enough for me to manage remotely if need be and it has a decent update manager.
I myself prefer Slackware, but that's just becasue I'm a Masochist... Not really, I just cut my Linux teeth on it back in the mid 90's.
Re: Woodland Creature?
I took it as a reference to inter-arboreal defaecation but are creatures of ursine persuasion moronic? I get the feeling that treating one as such might be a little bit of a mistake.
More interest is what's in the next Kernel release
Should have the dynamic re-clocking and decent power management enabled for Radeon cards. Thanks to AMD's shitty manoeuvre in dropping support for for anything less than a HD5000 (including windows) it leaves users reliant on the FOSS drivers for Xorg compatibility. AMD look at Nvidia's support cycle if you care about your customers, it puts you to shame.
Unfortunately I cannot change the HD4570 in my laptop for an Nvidia solution.
Re: More interest is what's in the next Kernel release
For further reading on the forthcoming Radeon dynamic power management and HDMI audio in 3.13 please see this Phoronix article:
If Mr T was to say something like, "OK, you bunch of idiotic morons, no more new features! Absolutely zero new features until all the existing bugs and problems are fixed. Even if you write new stuff, I am not going to include it. Bug fixes only this time around, and the sooner you do all that, the sooner you can get back to the stuff you like doing. Suck on that and give me the goods. So there!" It just might work. Which would be good.
My thoughts precisely. I see no reason why they shouldn't add a little 'professionalism' to the development, and by that I don't mean to insult the obviously talented people who write much of the kernel code, but to say that in my job, as an alleged professional, I spend a lot of time fixing bugs in product, so it's fit for purpose. Kernel developers should understand it's part of being professional. You don't get to work on the good stuff all the time.
And while they are at it, can someone fit GIT so it's usable by humans without 2 years of training.
What's wrong with Git?
I like git. It's not even difficult to use. You can even phase it in gradually (use only what you need and ignore the rest) and apply it retrospectively (with a single command in many cases!). I admit I don't use/need many of its advanced features (that I know about), but I'm yet to find anything that comes even close to its usability without totally ensnaring my entire project. If I want to leave Git at any point in the future, I'm confident it won't be an issue.
> but to say that in my job, as an alleged professional, I spend a lot of time fixing bugs in product,
I wonder if that says something about the overall quality of the code you write..
>You don't get to work on the good stuff all the time.
There are multiple "stable" linux branches that only get fixes.
--> https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html
Even if Linus says that the merge for 4.0 is only for fixes that doesn't stop devs working in their own local branches* on their own brand new stuff and pushing it for 4.1 so I don't actually see how this will stop people "working on the good stuff" and don't think that's actually the intention either.
>And while they are at it, can someone fit GIT so it's usable by humans without 2 years of training.
Lots of people use git without issue or "2 years of training". If you can't operate the CLI try one of the many frontends.. if you can't manage that then you're a lost cause.
* That's if they can operate git of course.
If Mr T was to say something like...
Surely Mr T wouldn't get through that whole paragraph without pitying the fool somewhere.
Re: What's wrong with Git?
I have to agree with DanDanDan. Git may not be my first choice for change-management software, but it's not difficult. I know two professors who've had students use it in writing courses - and these aren't CS students, and generally don't have any experience with change management. (Many of them have never used the command line before.) But with a cheat sheet of simple commands and a quick introductory demonstration and exercise, they don't have any trouble pulling updates from others or pushing their own.
Merging is slightly more complicated when there are conflicts, but even that's mostly a matter of practice.
Wouldn't the "bugs fixed only! no new features!" actually be a final 3.xx feature, while 3.99/4.0 is supposed to be the horribly broken release where nothing works, everything crashes, but it's crazy fast and doubly awesome? And around 4.4 regular people actually start migrating to it?
Because that's the basic idea of almost every product release. Don't screw with our expectations, Linus!
The worst possible outcome would be to adopt a FIrefox-style new major version every 4 months.
I wish I could upvote and downvote your post.
I agree with the version numbering comments, but not the comment "The worst possible outcome would be to adopt a FIrefox-style new major version every 4 months."
Why? Linus has made it quite clear his numbering scheme is based on assigning a new version number when he feels like it. How would every 4 months/ 2 years/6 days/decade really be significantly different to that? I think you're assigning more importance to version numbers than they deserve (in both the Linux and Firefox cases).
bigger is better
If linux is going to compete with other software in any serious way the version numbers need to get much bigger quickly - everyone knows higher version numbers are better. Chrome browser was only released a couple of years ago and that's on about version 30 already. Windows 2000 was almost exactly 250 times better than windows 8. LT should take advantage of this and leapfrog everyone else to bring out linux version 3000
Distros too
This is a great idea. I wish it could be expanded to some of the non-kernel features where long-standing bugs and incomplete (to the point of non-existence) documentation are plentiful. I know this isn't the fun part of development but if the product is ever going to be a match for the commercial offerings, it needs to be done. One prolonged period to catch up with the backlog and then a housekeeping month once a year would IMHO work wonders.
Re: Distros too
There's already a long-term-stable kernel out there: the one that Red Hat maintain, and Centos and Scientific Linux free-beer clone. Security and other fixes from more recent linux kernels are back-ported to 2.6.18 (for RHEL 5) which will continue to be maintained for five years after RHEL7 release date. Same pattern for RHEL6 (2.6.32 based)
Last time I looked (a good while ago) the 2.4 kernel was also still healthy, on volunteer life-support.
There are pros and cons of feature-frozen bug-fixed kernels, and the Linux community can have its cake AND eat it. The biggest drawback is probably new CPU designs and a frozen kernel that doesn't fully support them, or doesn't support them at all.
Re: Distros too
> where long-standing bugs and incomplete (to the point of non-existence) documentation are plentiful.
This is how it works:
1. Identify the problem and fix the problem*
2. Send it to the upstream or the package maintainer of your distribution of choice to include and possible upstream
3. ?????
4. Profit.
*If you can't fix it at least report it.
device summary?
A nice feature that could be organically grown, although I am not sure how, is the device status tree for a kernel.
By that, I mean a website where the status of a driver (stable,unstable,experimental,please help!) could be checked/tracked. I know it would be a big list but it might help enthuse developers and the general public to understand what is going on under the hood...
Not everyone likes digging code like we do....;-)
Moving to FreeBSD
This is why I am moving to FreeBSD and PC-BSD for desktop (since desktop stuff takes long time to come to FreeBSD).
This version number and bug ridden code in Linux is not something that I suggest for any user. Good in testing yes, but not so when using in Desktop or server environment.

Months after raising property taxes 19 percent and stormwater fees 220 percent, the Chattanooga City Council didn't need much prodding to oppose a request from Tennessee American Water to increase water rates by 28 percent.
"We've got to have skin in the game," Councilwoman Sally Robinson said during a committee hearing. "We don't control our water, and that troubles me."
But opposing the measure may cost the city up to $300,000 since the process could take until March 2011 and no one in the city attorney's office has the expertise to negotiate Tennessee American's lengthy rate proposal, according to City Attorney Mike McMahan.
"We don't understand everything in those 2,500 pages," he said. "We're not going to be prepared until we pay somebody to delve into those pages."
Tennessee American has asked the Tennessee Regulatory Authority for the increase to offset higher operating costs, fund employee pensions and boost the allowable rate of return earned by the company.
Before joining the other eight members in opposing the rate hike request, Councilman Andraé McGary compared the water company's request to the recent property tax hike and said residents may need to "suck it up and take it."
"I can't help but wonder if [the water company is] in the same boat as us," he said.
City and county elected officials last opposed a similar request in 2008, when Tennessee American officials asked for a 20 percent increase. The company ended up with a 4.37 percent increase.
"It's the same old story," Councilman Jack Benson said.
The Chattanooga Manufacturers Association and the consumer advocate for the Tennessee attorney general also oppose the proposal, but Tennessee American officials said the water company will lose money next year without a rate increase.
The state's largest private water company, Tennessee American services more than 350,000 residents in Southeast Tennessee and Northwest Georgia.
"We're talking an additional $4.68 a month for the average customer," company spokeswoman Kim Dalton said. "It's the lowest utility bill of the month customers pay."
Click here to vote in our daily poll: Should the city challenge the water rate increase request?
Interesting how the council members have a problem with a private company (Tennessee American) trying to raise the rate to a level they can make a profit, yet have no problem raping taxpayers with stormwater fees & property taxes. At election time , remember the five council members who voted for the 19% property tax increase and vote them out. They are LADD,ROBINSON,BERZ,RICO and BENSON. Maybe after they are sent packing , they can go to work at Tennessee American.
So, the City of the Chattanooga proposes to spend $300,000 in legal fees to fight a private company's fee increase. I wish the taxpayers had these resources to fend off and protect business and homeowners from the City of Chattanoogs imposing the highest stormwater fees in the state of Tennesee, and Memphis level property taxes.
Councilman Andraé McGary compared the water company's request to the recent property tax hike and said residents may need to "suck it up and take it."
The arrogance and incompetence of McGary is on display. This coming from a man who spent the last two years hoping from job to job much like that nationally elected politician in DC.
He claims he owes the Crutchfield's nothing, couple that and all the donations on his financial disclosure with no names reveal he is indeed hiding something.
His arrogance and "I am better than you, because I am on the radio" act is getting old.
Maybe those donations will pay his increased water fees.
This 28% increase is unwarranted, especially since they just had one. What increased costs are the company paying? This is NOT a "local water company"; it is nationwide...they just name themselves to appear "local". They just raised Kentucky's water by 38%. They are having us pay for California et al wastage.
Water is a constant resource -- at least here in Tennessee. There are no related increases in cost, just the company's [obscene] profits at our expense for a necessity of life. Note the company's phrase, "...boost the allowable rate of return earned by the company" in their proposal. They want more profit than allowed.
Or is it new construction and demands that TA Water wants all consumers to pay for? So bill the developers for the cost of improvements to existing or new water supplies, not the rest of us.
Let the new buyers foot the bill up front -- higher prices for new homes raises everyone's home value; just ask the tax appraisers...

FORT WORTH — A Hood County deputy shot after responding to a disturbance call near Lake Granbury died Saturday, officials said.Sgt. Lance McLean, 38, of Hico was taken by helicopter ambulance to John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth after he was shot in the head Friday. He was pronounced dead at 11:45 a.m.Hood County Sheriff Roger Deeds called McLean, who was a member of the city-county SWAT team, "a great leader" who likely would have been promoted to lieutenant or captain."He could take care of business," the sheriff said during an afternoon news conference at JPS.He "served tremendously" during last month's deadly tornado outbreak, Deeds said. Deeds said McLean and his wife have two special-needs children."Caring for them made him a stronger man," Deeds said.The gunman, Ricky Don McCommas, 49, fled to Granbury after shooting McLean and was fatally shot outside City Hall after wounding a Granbury police officer.The incident began when McCommas confronted a girl he is accused of sexually assaulting.McCommas, of Joshua, was scheduled to appear in court in Cleburne on Friday. Instead, authorities said, he went to the Oak Trail Shores community, where the 16-year-old girl lived, and shot McLean when the deputy responded to a disturbance call.Deeds said McLean, a patrol sergeant, was the first officer on the scene Friday. Deputies, he said, were aware of McCommas because of an earlier "criminal trespass warning."Granbury police officer Chad Davis was wounded in the exchange of gunfire at City Hall, but his injury was not considered to be life-threatening, said Sgt. Lonny Haschel, a spokesman with the Texas Department of Public Safety.Davis is "better today," Police Chief Mitch Galvan said Saturday. McCommas was scheduled to go to trial on the sexual assault charge in August, said Joshua Police Chief Annabeth Robertson. A search warrant was executed at McCommas' home in Joshua on Friday by the Texas Rangers. McCommas had worked Texas Health Harris Methodist Southwest Fort Worth from April 2004 to October 2012, said hospital spokeswoman Nikki Hall-Branch. She declined to say what his position was at the hospital.Haschel said that at 10:50 a.m. deputies were called to a disturbance at the Oak Trail Shores community on Lake Granbury, off Tin Top Highway, where McCommas had gone. "Yes, he did go the victim's house," Robertson said.After McCommas shot the deputy he fled toward Granbury in a white Chevrolet van, officials said.As the van neared town, officer Davis spotted it and followed to the courthouse square, Chief Galvan said. McCommas pulled into a parking lot at City Hall, where his van was blocked by sheriff department vehicles, Galvan said. Joe Vandaveer said he was at a nearby business when the gunman pulled up and got out carrying "an assault rifle.""He stares right at us," Vandaveer said. "About that time, police pulled up behind him … and he turned toward them and started walking toward them. We started backing up. The shooting started, and we turned and ran."I don't know what he was running from, what he did, but he definitely wanted to get at the cops. He had a very determined look on his face."Galvan said they rushed out of City Hall when McCommas pulled up."It was a shock to everyone," Galvan said.Davis was shot in the upper right arm by McCommas and the bullet "exited out of his back," said Galvan, who added the officer is expected to make a full recovery. He was being treated at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth.Galvan said Davis is married and has a young daughter. He has been with the department for 12 years.John Luton, president of First National Bank of Granbury, said he could hear the sirens approaching and quickly realized that officers weren't responding to just a traffic accident. Then he heard the rapid exchange of gunfire."It's not something you're used to hearing sitting inside a 150-year-old rock building," Luton said.Dozens of shell casings were found around McCommas' van.One woman said she first thought the shooting was one of the Old West re-enactments that are conducted regularly on weekends in the popular downtown area."But this was a whole different kind of noise," she said. "It was bam-bam-bam!" Staff photographer Max Faulkner and staff writer Diane Smith contributed to this report.

Yay or Nay Wednesday
Well, thank goodness for that! When a few of you started Yay-ing last week's
crime against shoemanity offering by Donna Karan (for a ridiculous $738.95!), I momentarily thought I'd lost it! (No, seriously!) Thankfully, 66.66666666% of you also thought they were nineties nightmares; so that'll stave off a visit to the funny farm for me! (For now, anyway...)
It shouldn't take a genius to figure out the Italian family behind this week's offering, which is a little more sedate in style - but not so much in colour - than last week's monstrosities. But are they resplendent rainbows or designer duds? Yay or Nay and why?

Change of use from church to pub gains approval from planning board
LACONIA — A plan to convert the former Evangelical Baptist Church at Veterans Square into a pub and restaurant took a step forward Tuesday night when the Planning Board granted conditional approval of a request from David and Maureen Kennedy of Hampton for a change of use of the building from a place of worship to an eating and drinking establishment.
Kennedy, who is close to finalizing the purchase of the building, is working on plans which will see a dining room established on the upper level of the building and a cafe which will serve as a hub for small ''faux shops'' selling baked goods and Irish-themed articles on the lower level.
The restaurant will be the Kennedy's second, both housed in churches. The Holy Grail Restaurant and Pub in what what was St. Joseph's Church on Main Street in Epping has twice been chosen as the state's finest Irish pub by New Hampshire Magazine.
He plans to add a second story to a triangular addition at the rear of the church building for the kitchen, offices, utilities and storage.
Because the building occupies the entire lot, he is faced with reaching agreement with abutting property owners on access issues such as a walkway from the city parking lot at the rear of the property and perhaps a shared dumpster.
Members of the Planning Board were sympathetic to the problems faced by Kennedy, who told the board that he has not yet reached any formalized agreement with his neighbors and that the site plan he is developing will be influenced by the agreements he reaches.
At least two abutters, the Laconia Congregational Church and Kevin Campbell, said they were willing to work with him.
Linda Tunnicliffe and John Walker of the church said that the church is constructing a brick walkway as part of its Community Way Project which will link the church and its parish house with a second floor covered elevator and bridge. The parish house is located next to the former Evangelical Baptist Church and extending the walkway in that direction is seen as a way of helping provide access to the new restaurant from the municipal parking lot used by the Downtown Farmers Market on Thursday nights.
''It would be the right solution for everyone,'' said Tunicliffe as she showed drawings of what the completed project will look like and said that the new restaurant would be ''a beautiful addition to downtown.''
Kennedy said that he was trying to work out an agreement with other restaurants in the area which might involve a shared dumpster.
He has also agreed to pay half of the cost, $35,000, of bringing a new 10-inch water line to the lot which will allow him to install a sprinkler system in the building and the City Council recently agreed to pay half of the cost, up to $35,000 using funds from the Downtown TIFF District account, for the water line.
The planning board has also agreed to waive the development impact fee of $6,900 for the restaurant due to the capital outlay it is making for the water line project.
Keith Hall of Kramer and Hall Goldsmiths, which is located across the square at the Laconia Railroad Station, said that he is concerned that the private parking spaces next to his business will end up being used by customers of the new restaurant and hoped that signs will be put up to indicate that they are not public parking spaces. He also said that he believes a rear entryway into the new restaurant would be desirable.
Planning Board Chairman Warren Hutchins said that the completed site plan will have a number of conditions to deal with, including parking and walking improvements, as well as lighting and compatibility of the architecture of the second floor addition with existing architecture in the downtown area and a possible entryway at the rear of the building.
John Moriarty of the Main Street Initiative reminded Planning Board members that the 34-lot municipal parking lot which will be used for parking and the dumpsters was created by a special assessment on downtown businesses in 1985 and that it should be borne in mind that it was intended to serve all of the surrounding businesses.
With that said, Moriarty said to Kennedy ''we really welcome you to the city and want this project to be successful.''
City Planning Director Shanna Saunders said that "the project has been fast tracked by the city and that Kennedy hopes to have the business up and running by next summer.

County officials will take budget case directly to towns
LACONIA — Belknap County Commissioners, citing ''a lot of misinformation and misunderstanding'' about the Belknap County budget, are preparing to go directly to local boards of selectmen and budget committees to explain the $27 million spending plan they are working to finalize over the next few weeks.
''We should be going out into the towns to tell them that spending levels are unchanged since 2008 despite increases in areas like health insurance and fuel oil. This is something people should get an understanding of,'' said Commissioner Ed Philpot (D-Laconia) when the commissioners met Wednesday morning.
The commission is bracing for another contentious budget setting process with the Belknap County Convention, the 18-member group of legislators from the county which recently voted to go to court in a year-long battle with the commissioners over line item budget authority.
Last year the battle began at the organizational meeting of the convention at which there was a failed attempt to strip all funds for employee pay raises from the proposed budget, which was followed by a closed-door meeting of the Republican majority of the convention which developed a strategy for cutting the proposed budget through asserting control over line items, a move which was resisted by the commissioners, who ultimately transferred funds within departments to restore money to line items, including contracted benefits, which had been cut by the convention.
A budget presentation made by the commission last year included a chart showing that since 2009 the county has eliminated 37 full-time positions, going from 208 in 2009 to 171 in 2013, while increasing the number of part-time positions from 26 to 46.
The 2013 budget proposed expenditures of $26.8 million, which were not only less than the three previous budgets but also $2.9 million, or 9.9 percent, less than in 2008 and $2.2 million, or 7.6 percent, less than in 2009. However, the commission recommended augmenting revenues from sources other than property taxes by $2,100,000 compared to $3,750,000 the year before, which increased the amount to be raised by property taxes 8.9 percent. The convention reduced spending and adjusted revenues, trimming the tax commitment to $13.8 million, 1.1-percent less than the $14 million raised in 2012.
This year commissioners have developed a preliminary budget which will increase appropriations 2.4 percent to $27,013,237 and the amount to be raised by taxes 7.2-percent — to $14,887,599.
They will present their proposed budget to the convention next month, at which time a public hearing will be held, and plan to make their case at that hearing.
''Since the dialogue is more difficult lately, we'll have to have make the case in our presentation,'' said County Administrator Debra Shackett.
Philpot said ''we've had tremendous cutbacks in revenue across the board'' and pointed out that since 2008 revenues, exclusive of fund balance, have declined from $13.4 million to $10.1 million, almost 25 percent. Meanwhile, the tax commitment has risen from $14.3 million to a projected $14.9 million, an increase of 4.3 percent. In 2008, $2 million of fund balance was added to revenues and the commission recommends applying an equal amount in 2014.
''The state is taking a larger chunk of the money that was going to the counties.'' said Philpot, who doubted that a public information session on the budget solely for local officials would draw a large enough audience to have any impact on the budget discussion.
''We'll have to go the selectmen. And that will mean a lot of meetings,'' said Philpot.

Child's mother on stand at 2nd day of Eric Grant trial
LACONIA — Eric Grant's attorney, Emily McLaughlin, continued yesterday to try to discredit the 17-year-old girl who said she was sexually assaulted at the band leader's home during a New Year's Eve party that happened when she was 10.
After another two hours of cross-examination of the alleged victim, the girl's mother was called to the stand by Asst. Belknap County Prosecutor Carley Ahern, who tried to elicit testimony from regarding any change in the girl's demeanor after the 2006 New Years Eve party and if the girl's relationship with her uncle (Grant) changed.
The state's case against Grant, who is a well-known local country music performer with some national recognition, is that he digitally assaulted the girl while the two were sitting next to each on a couch at the party. The girl never disclosed the assault until she told her therapist about it during a session in April of 2012.
According to her mother, the girl had told her that Grant touched the top of her butt and that it made her uncomfortable.
With no physical evidence except the child's testimony and a few pictures and a video of portions of the evening, McLaughlin needs to poke enough holes in the girl's story to create reasonable doubt in the minds of the nine men and three women who are the jurors that her client raped her with his finger.
Grant has said that he gave the girl a "wedgie" when she passed gas in his face. He has also said the issue was discussed about seven months later when he and his family went to California to visit the girl's family.
The girl's mother testified yesterday that until her daughter's therapist told her about the allegation in April of 2012, she thought that all that had happened was that Grant had touched the top of her butt and he had told the family that he "probably" gave the girl a wedgie.
The girl's mother said the only thing out of the ordinary she remembered about the night of the party was a loud verbal argument between Grant and his wife (her sister). She said she had been drinking but her husband had not.
She testified yesterday that after the argument she noticed her daughter was very upset but she had attributed her discomfort to the fight. She also said that she hadn't spent a lot of time with her daughter that night because she was visiting with her mother (the girl's grandmother) who she said she didn't get to see that often.
She said that until that time, Eric Grant was her daughter's favorite uncle. "Oh she loved him. He was her favorite."
She said that after that night, the girl didn't want to be around her uncle any more.
With the therapist's note excluded from the trial except for impeaching a witness, McLaughlin grilled the mother about Grant's California visit seven months later, a family trip to Jamaica in 2011, and her daughter's visits to the therapist.
Under direct questioning, the mother had testified that her daughter didn't not want to be with Grant, that she "made her" go on the family trip to Jamaica, and that her daughter somewhat stayed away from him during the times the family was together after the 2006 alleged assault.
The mother didn't remember all the details and dates but testified that when she learned about the alleged assault in 2012, mother and daughter were not getting along very well. She said she was concerned primarily about her daughter's marijuana use but was also concerned about her unusually poor grades.
She described her daughter as a good student who got "A"s and "B"s and the occasional "C." She also said that after the therapy, the disclosure, and Grant's divorce from her sister, that mother and daughter got along fine again and are still fine today.
Under cross-examination McLaughlin pressed the alleged victim's mother about what she remembered from that night and the mother said she didn't remember any farting incidents or wedgie incidents.
She also said her daughter slept with her and her husband at her sister's house that night, contradicting the girl's recollection that she stayed upstairs at Grant's in the same bedroom as her grandmother. The family flew back to California on New Year's Day.
When McLaughlin asked if she remembered the pink pajamas the girl remembers wearing, the mother said she did, recalling she thinks she bought them in New Hampshire.
The mother also said she did her daughter's laundry and would have remembered if there was blood on the bottoms or if there was any bloody underwear. She didn't remember packing the clothes the day they flew home.
The girl has testified that she was bleeding from the alleged penetration and there was blood streaks on her pajamas. She also testified that she saw blood when she went to urinate.
The trial continues Thursday morning.

Downtown parking debate raises temps at City Hall
LACONIA — "I don't even want to call it an issue, said Mayor Mike Seymour by way of introducing another discussion of downtown parking when the City Council met Monday evening,"because I think the only issue we have is a lot of empty spaces and we'd like to fill more of them."
As it turned out, the mayor misjudged the temper not only of the council but also of John Moriarty, president of the Main Street Initiative, an organization of downtown building and business owners. What Seymour preferred to call "a concern" sparked exchanges first between Councilor Brenda Baer (Ward 4) and Chris Santaniello, executive director of Lakes Region Community Services, and then between Councilors Henry Lipman (Ward 3 ) and Bob Hamel (Ward 5) and Moriarty.
Afterwards the council directed a Parking Committee, formed in 2012, to reconvene and prepare a report and recommendations to the council. At Moriarty's suggestion the committee, which consists of City Manager Scott Myers, Planning Director Shanna Saunders, Baer, Santaniello, Andy Patterson of the Laconia Clinic, Robert Sawyer of Sawyer's Jewelry and Moriarty, be expanded. Moriarty said he would like for residential, retail, entertainment, professional, hospitality and service interests to be represented.
In January, the council agreed to designate 34 of the 38 vertical parking spaces on the east side of New Salem Street for all-day parking, leaving four spaces immediately behind the historic railroad station restricted to two-hour parking for patrons of the businesses housed in the building. The 38 spaces had been evenly divided between two-hour and all-day parking. In reallocating the spaces the council was responding to business owners, who found that all-day parking for their employees had become scarce after Lakes Region Community Services (LRCS) occupied the old Federal Building on North Main Street.
At the same time, the council prohibited on-street parking on Harvard Street between North Main Street and Dartmouth Street, where congestion posed risks to motorists leaving the Laconia Clinic lot by the Harvard Street exit.
Both changes were introduced for a trial period set to expire with the lifting of the winter parking parking ban, which passed unnoticed. Last month, when City Manager Scott Myers recommended both changes remain permanent, the council deferred its decision until this week.
Santaniello endorsed the arrangement, explaining that her agency provided as much on-site parking as the Planning Board permitted and appreciated the spaces on New Salem Street for employees. "I don't think us parking there impedes any downtown business," she said, and added that she found it "frustrating when there is an issue about us using those spaces they were empty most of the time."
However, Baer responded that "if there are so many empty spaces, you should have no objection to two-hour parking." She reminded Santaniello that when the LRCS acquired the Federal Building there was sufficient parking on-site for its employees. Santaniello explained that in renovating the building many of those spaces were lost in order to comply building and fire codes, but that recently 10 spaces had been added.
Noting that a restaurant would be opening on Veterans Square and efforts are underway to expand business downtown, Baer said that without sufficient parking "everything's for naught." Santanuiello stressed that she also wants downtown to thrive and said the agency brought employees, clients and visitors to the city. "You have your opinion and I have my opinion," she told Baer, "and we may not agree."
"I wish, I really wish I could address this with humor, with some other tool in the arsenal," Moriarty began ominously. "We're all trying to raise a tide that will lift all boats. You've got to know that. You've got to know that," he continued, his tone sharpening and voice rising, "we don't commit our resources because we feel like doing it. We do it so the community succeeds. '
"Excuse me, John," Lipman interrupted. Would you tone down your tone a bit. I feel like I'm being yelled at."
"I really wish I could use humor," Moriarty replied. "I'm obviously quite upset about this."
"You don't need to use humor. Just talk in a level tone," Lipman said.
Saying that "our concern is not really two-hour parking, it's what's coming next," Moriarty urged the council not to legislate "one parking space at a time."
"I've listened to you talk for 10 minutes," said Hamel, "and I have no clue what you're talking about — no clue. I don't know what you're looking for."
At this point Seymour intervened, offering to interpret what he called the "initial diatribe." He said that Moriarty appeared to be asking for a comprehensive parking plan for downtown in place of a piecemeal approach.
"Yes!" said Moriarty, who added that the plan should be based on data profiling the number of parking spaces, who uses them and for how long and so forth.
Hamel said that the councilors relied on the property and business owners downtown to provide that information and urged them to present a plan rather than engage in a perpetual back and forth with the council.
It was Baer who, reading through the minutes of past discussions of the parking question, proposed directing the Parking Committee to prepare a plan.

360° Localization via 4.x RACE Processing
Recursive Ambiophonic Crosstalk Elimination (RACE), implemented as a VST plug-in, convolved from an impulse response, or purchased as part of a TacT Audio or other home audiophile product, properly reproduces all the ITD and ILD data sequestered in most standard two or multichannel media. Ambiophonics is so named because it is intended to be the replacement for 75 year old stereophonics and 5.1 in the home, car, or monitoring studio, but not in theaters. The response curves show that RACE produces a loudspeaker binaural soundfield with no audible colorations, much like Ambisonics or Wavefield Synthesis. RACE can do this starting with most standard CD/LP/DVD two, four or five-channel media, or even better, 2 or 4 channel recordings made with an Ambiophone, using one or two pairs of closely spaced loudspeakers. The RACE stage can easily span up to 170° for two channel orchestral recordings or 360° for movie/electronic-music surround sources. RACE is not sensitive to head rotation and listeners can nod, recline, stand up, lean sideways, move forward and back, or sit one behind the other. As in 5.1, off center listeners can easily localize the center dialog even though no center speaker is ever needed.

Good CHEAP Pot?
- pikawicca Aug 25, 2006 10:45 PM
I'm teaching a young friend the basics of cooking (a real pleasure, by the way). Unfortunately, he has basically no money. I've equipped him with a commercial-grade non-stick frying/saute pan, but he really needs something for braising/cooking beans, etc. Any ideas? Obviously, something multi-functional would be best.
How cheap is "cheap"? I've found some of the stuff off the TV shopping channels aint too bad. Try something by Wolfgang Puck.
I'm not sure if there's a Ross around, but I've been able to pick up some Analon and similar types of cookware for quite cheap. I believe I got two small sauce pans for about $12 each.
If you have any Asian markets where you live with a Chinese bias, they'll probably sell all manner of inexpensive pots. Aluminum ones, even clay pots that can be used on the stovetop for slow braises. Here in So Cal, $10 will yield a variety of shapes and sizes to choose from.
Also check Amazon, especially in their Today's Deals & Clearance sections and during their Friday sales. Also be on the lookout for coupons (generally they have $25 off $125 total). Free shipping over $25 and no tax.
Ikea and Target for cheap tools, plates, etc. They both sell kitchens-in-a-box.
As mentioned many a time, check Goodwill and Salvation Army stores near him, garage sales and the like. Also, just put out the word among friends and family. Most people (if they are anything like me) usually have kitchen stuff lying around that they would love to get rid of -- extra pans, appliances they never use, old dinnerware and flatware. He could probably outfit an entire kitchen from peoples' giveaways. (If you post in your home city board, I'm sure CHers would come bearing their extra pots.)
You never know what you are going to find at TJ Maxx. I was over there on Wed. or Thurs. along with all the returning students and there were 2 Le Creuset 5 qt. pots. They were marked $100 each. That might break the budget but for a lifetime investment that is a deal. They have lots to choose from at all prices. I always have to check.
re: pikawicca
I try to go once a week. You just never know what will be there. I have gotten Saba, white truffle oil, imported salts etc. When I said lots, I did not mean lots of LC, but just all sorts of pots and pans at great prices. I've picked up All Clad LTD on clearance which was a real deal. I'll be checking the shelves tomorrow. Have to go out to Petsmart to buy dog food so TJM will be on the tour.
I concur that Ross and TJ Maxx are great. I also like Tuesday Morning, I got my KA mixer there. I've noticed a lot of top brands there at amazing prices. I have bought restaurant quality cookware at flea markets as well. One flea market I went to had a guy who sold only cast iron pots and pans. He was quite popular amongst the locals because he was there every weekend.
re: free sample addict aka Tracy L
I agree on Tues. AM too. But for Pikawicca and me the nearest is over 40 miles away. I'm always up for a road trip though. Tues. AM has some wonderful deals on all sorts of stuff too. Again, you just never know what they are going to have. I got a Krups coffee maker with timer so I can set it the night before for $19.99. They often have good deals on Cuisinarts and top of the ling pots and pans too. My favorite napkins, cocktail and dinner were such a deal in fine linen (yeah I have to iron them but they are gorgeous) that I have about 3 dozen of each. I wish we had a Tues AM here in Bloomington.
re: free sample addict aka Tracy L
No, Bloomington, In is a major university town and all of the buyer's retail and grocery see us as a town full of undergrads wearing junior sized clothing, boy do they have their demmographics wrong. There are some thrift shops but TJM is our best bet. Pikawicca and jillp will back me up on that. It has gotten better in teh years I have lived here but most of my $$$ unless it is for basic to better food, booze and wine go out of town. I make it a point not to shop in the stores in Indy which are also here and stock inferior mdse. in the Bloomington stores.
I'll also add that I like my Farberware for big stock pots and sauce pans. Often pretty cheap on Amazon. As on eposter already pointed out Lodge is cheap you just have to keep it up and put up with the weight
You can try Craigslist.com, Ross, or Overstock.com. Overstock is my all time favorite bargain spot.
When our son went to college we went to auctions and bought his pots and pans, dishes etc.
You might also consider joining freecycle.org for your area. You never know what people will be offering, or if anyone will respond to requests, but free is even cheaper than cheap!
For cooking Beans, go with cast iron. Should be cheap, you can even find great cast iron cookware at garage sales, though is usually snatched up quickly by those who know.
Get the biggest one you can find. The uglier and crustier the better. They clean up well and it means it is probably seasoned nicely.
Cast iron should last you a lifetime and is practically indestructible, unless you drop really hot cast iron cookware into water, which can break it.
If he doesn't have a coffee maker yet, pick-up a Kenmore one at Sears for $29.00. It makes better coffee than most conventional brewers at twice the price. Higher water temperature is key. From my experience, most conventional brewer coffee pots do not heat the water to the correct temperature...usually too low. The Kenmore one works great!

Statistics:-Histogram by default choses the vertical axis such that the area under the histogram is 1 (or something like that). In my work, I invariably need to add "frequencyscale=absolute" to get the scale I need. Is there any way to make this the default? Typing this every time gets so old...

Maplesoft regularly hosts live webinars on a variety of topics. Below you will find details on some upcoming webinars we think may be of interest to the MaplePrimes community. For the complete list of upcoming webinars, visit our website.
Bring Statistics Education to Life!
This exciting new webinar will demonstrate some of the ways that educators can take advantage of Maple's symbolic and numeric approach for statistics education. Examples will include basic statistics theory including descriptive statistics such as measures of central tendency and spread, hypothesis testing, as well as discrete and continuous random variables.
Many examples presented in this webinar will be taken from the new Student Statistics package that was introduced in Maple 18. The Student Statistics was designed with classroom use in mind, and features detailed explanations and instructions, interactive demonstrations, and visualizations, all of which are great learning tools for teaching a course involving probability and statistics.

Symbolic Computing for Engineering
As engineering applications become more complex, it is becoming increasingly difficult to satisfy the often-conflicting project constraints using traditional tools. As a result, we've found there is a growing interest within the engineering community for tools that make engineering calculations transparent and capture not just results but also the knowledge and analysis used throughout the engineering workflow. Engineering organizations are achieving this goal by making symbolic techniques an integral part of their tool set.
In this webinar, Laurent Bernardin will demonstrate how to enhance the early-stage design phase by making mathematical computations explicit and transparent, and then integrating the results into an existing tool chain.
