With this news that has just surfaced, it makes you if this phone is actually real? I'm talking about the X Phone that we've been hearing about for a long time. Now Google is nixing the project of an Android device we thought will beat the iPhone and go down in history. In exchange, Google will be forging forward with its Nexus line.
All of this hype was pretty much for nothing. We've been covering it all the way back to January where we were dreaming and hoping that the Motorola X Phone with Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie would be presented at the Google I/O. Leaked pics, whispered hints and bogus specs were the breadcrumbs for a wild goose chase.
In fact, Android Guy thinks that the X Phone was just an elusive way of creating hype for a smartphone that would be the ''iPhone killer'', which would have ''matched the Apple device in a way that now current third party Android has been able to do''. That being said, Google has pushed the phone onto Motorola's lap, so perhaps you don't have to say goodbye to this dream yet.
I'm sorry Apple-haters, this super headset won't be appearing anytime soon. That being said, who knows what wonders Google will be presenting tomorrow at the I/O. Our predictions about what will be presented is, well, not very extensive. That being said, we still have hope! Stay tuned as we cover the event.

What: CSO Pops concert, "Simply Swingin'"
When: 8 p.m. Saturday, April 6
Where: Tivoli Theatre, 709 Broad St.
Admission: $19 to $81
Phone: 423-267-8583
Website: www.ChattaoogaSymphony.org
A fan-favorite crooner with CSO audiences returns to Chattanooga Saturday, April 6, for a night of "Simply Swingin'."
Singer Steve Lippia performed with the Chattanooga Symphony & Opera about three years ago, says Executive Director Molly Sasse, calling him a crowd-pleaser. Lippia, a resident of Las Vegas, is nationally known for his interpretations of standards from the American songbook.
"He's probably best known for his Sinatra songs, but this show has more than Sinatra in it," Sasse says.
Saturday night's program will include Broadway classics such as "Almost Like Being in Love" and "On the Street Where You Live," along with pop and swing hits such as "I Left My Heart in San Francisco," "They Can't Take That Away From Me" and "Mack the Knife."
Included in Lippia's Sinatra selections will be "My Way," "Come Fly With Me," "Luck Be a Lady" and "That's Life."
He'll be backed by a full orchestra, directed by Robert Bernhardt, with the addition of piano, percussion and standup bass to set the swing band mood.
Lippia has performed with more than 60 symphonies in the United States and Canada, according to his website. His appearance at the Tivoli is one of 15 concert performances he'll give this season alone.

main index
"Please leave all traps as you found them, so others can enjoy the lair too."The opposite of Already Done for You. So you're racing against the Big Bad trying to be the first to reach the Artifact of Doom. You overcome the poison dart Death Trap, defeat the Threshold Guardians, work your way through a complicated dungeon to find the missing key, and unlock the door to the room to find... that he's already there. He got through the Death Course just before you did. ...so who went through the area after he was done, putting the poison dart back into the wall, resurrecting the guardians, locking the final door behind him and putting its key back at the bottom of the dungeon? A special kind of Fridge Logic that asks how the scenario returned to its initial conditions if the situation should logically have called for Already Done for You. A Reset Button that hit the terrain just before you got there. Can involve Respawning Enemies and/or an off-screen Puzzle Reset. This is, of course, understandable from a design perspective, since who would want to play a game where everything already been figured out for you? As a result, many situations of this type can be explained away with a Hand Wave, and the temptation to do so on this page will likely be great. Common justifications include giving the Big Bad a special pass that prevents the traps from triggering, or saying that the Big Bad himself set the traps to discourage pursuit. Recognize, however, that most of these justifications have already been presented several times and erased because this isn't the place for them. Take all discussions to the discussion page. The complementary half of this trope is Took a Shortcut. Whereas that trope asks how a person got somewhere faster than you, this trope is more concerned with why his passage didn't disturb the environment. May be related to Chaos Architecture. Compare Durable Deathtrap. Contrast Already Done for You, obviously. Related to Edison's Lament, particularly in cases where there's no fathomable reason anybody would put the switch in the wrong position in the first place. Also related to Offscreen Teleportation and Mobile Menace. When it's not only the "how" but also the "what" that doesn't make sense, this is a Solve the Soup Cans puzzle.

Ethiopia is ranked 64 out of 86 in the 2012 Social Institutions and Gender Index.
The country was ranked 89 out of 102 in the 2009 Social Institutions and Gender Index.
The 2011 Human Development Report ranks Ethiopia in 174th place (out of a total of 187 countries), with a score of 0.363. The country was not ranked in the most recent Gender Inequality Index. Ethiopia is ranked in 116th place in the 2011 Global Gender Index (out of a total of 135 countries), with a score of 0.6136.
In early 2001, the federal government enacted a new Family Code based on the principle of gender equality.[11] Its effect has been limited in that the Constitution gives full sovereignty to most regions, and most had not passed similar applicable laws.[12] According to its 7th report to the CEDAW Committee, Ethiopia declared that all regions now have Family Codes that guarantee women's equality in marriage and family relations.[13]
Although Article 35 of the Constitution grants women and men equal rights in matters of inheritance, traditional customs usually pass land to sons, on the grounds that daughters eventually move to their husbands' homes. It is known that some customs require widows to marry a male relative of the deceased spouse.[21]
[11] CEDAW (2002) p.8 [12] CEDAW (2004a) p.3 [13] CEDAW (2009) p.82 [14] CEDAW (2009) p.82 [15] United Nations (2004) p. 118; UN (2008) [16] CEDAW (2009) pp.83-84 [17] CSO AND ORC MACRO (2006), Table 16.17 [18] CEDAW (2009) p. 21 [19] CSO AND ORC MACRO (2006), Table 6.2 [20] World Bank (1999) p. 140 [21] CEDAW (2009) p. 67
The 2005 Penal Code establishes as new penalties for rape of between 5 and 20 years imprisonment. Formerly, men could avoid this charge if they married the victim (spousal rape is not considered a crime). The new Code repealed this provision, but fails to invalidate earlier marriages contracted on this basis.[22]
Domestic violence is a criminal offence under the criminal code, with punishments including fines and imprisonment of up to 15 years.[23] Police are also expected to undergo training on domestic violence issues from women's NGOs or the Ministry of Women's Affairs. The penal code also criminalises sexual harassment (with imprisonment of up to 2 years), but the law is not effectively enforced.[24]
Violence against women is widespread and abuses, including wife beating and spousal rape, are pervasive social problems with wide acceptance. A 2009 WHO study found that 70 % of Ethiopian women suffered physical violence from their husband or partner at some point in their life, and over 50 % had suffered physical violence in the preceding 12 months.[25] The 2005 DHS found that, when presented with a list of five reasons for which a man might be justified in beating his wife, 81 % of women surveyed agreed with at least one of the reasons.[26] Thus, even though they have recourse through the police, strong societal norms and lack of access to relevant infrastructure prevent many women from seeking legal redress.[27] Accurate up-to-date data regarding the number of reported cases of rape and sexual assault are also not available. A report by a national women's organisation referred to in the US Department of State's 2010 Human Rights report stated that in 2005, 938 incidents of rape were reported in the capital Addis Ababa, but only 103 offenders were punished: these figures are likely to be much lower than the actual incidence of rape, given societal and family pressure on victims of sexual violence to remain silent, and lack of awareness of the law.[28]
As elsewhere, sexual violence (predominantly against women) was a feature of the conflict between Ethiopia and Eritrea in the 1990s, and continues to be reported in the Ogadan region.[29] According to Human Rights Watch, 'systematic' rape has been a feature of the government's counter-insurgency strategy in the region since 2007, directed against women suspected of having links to the Ogadan National Liberation Front.[30]
Even though the new Penal Code criminalises female genital mutilation (FGM) by imprisonment of no less than three months or a fine of at least ETB 500 (USD 58), it is estimated that between 70 and 80 % of Ethiopia's female population is subject to the practice.[31] Genital infibulation (the closing of the outer lips of the vulva) is also punishable by law, with imprisonment of five to ten years. To date, there have been no criminal prosecutions for practising FGM, although according to various sources, public support among women for the procedure, as well as the overall percentage of women who have experienced FGM, is declining.[32]
Abortion is legal in cases of rape and incest, where the woman's health is in danger, and in cases of foetal impairment.[33] The contraceptive prevalence rate among married Ethiopian women remains very low. According to a 2011 Demographic and Health Survey (DHS), 28.6% of married women were currently using contraception as a means of family planning, with 27.3% using a modern method.[34] Women in Ethiopia do not have the reproductive freedom to make family planning decisions on their own: according to a report published by the Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA), only about one in four women is able to make a decision regarding family planning without the consent of her husband.[35] The 2011 DHS found that almost 25.3% of women were classified as having an unmet need for family planning services, either to limit the number of children they bore, or to increase the length of time between births.[36]

According to the 2011 DHS, in the families surveyed, 23.1% of boys under the age of 2 had had the full range of vaccinations, compared to 25.7% of girls.[37] Rates of malnutrition were also slightly higher for boys.[38] It appears that there is no evidence of son preference with respect to early childhood care and nutrition. According to the World Economic Forum in 2011, there remains a gender gap in primary and secondary education, indicating that there may be a slight preference towards sons with access to education.[39]
The male/female sex ratio for the total population in 2012 is 0.97.[40]
There is no evidence to suggest that Ethiopia is a country of concern in relation to missing women.
[37] Central Statistical Agency and ICF Macro (2011) [38] Central Statistical Agency and ICF Macro (2011) [39] World Economic Forum (2011) [40] Central Intelligence Agency (2012)
Women's ownership rights are limited in Ethiopia, although land reforms enacted in March 1997 have improved access to land by stipulating that women have the right to lease land from the government, a right that is given to them in the Federal Constitution.[41] Ethiopian law presumes joint or communal property as the default regime, and married couples may acquire and title land jointly.[42] In fact, during a land redistribution exercise carried out in the Amhara Region, almost 130 000 poor rural women became landowners. In some regions Ethiopia is conducting a program to introduce the joint titling of household land to ensure women's access and use.[43] Despite these reforms, it is frequently the case that women's only chance to access land is through marriage. Women who separate from their husbands are likely to lose their houses and property, and when a husband dies, other family members often claim the land over his widow.[44] The 2005 DHS reports that 20 % of widows reported being dispossessed of their land.[45] Traditionally, only the head of the household can be a landowner. A 2007 report places the number of female landholders at 18.1 %.[46] However, Ethiopia reports in its 2009 CEDAW report that 29 % of rural landowners are households headed by women.[47]
Under the new Family Code, previous requirements that husbands should have unique control over common property have been removed. Common property is now to be administered jointly by both spouses.[48]
Ethiopian women have only limited access to bank loans. Public financing for women may be granted to female heads of households who own land; by contrast, married women who wish to obtain loans must first seek permission from their husbands. Due to lack of access to larger amounts of credit, women turn to community-based revolving credit/savings groups and micro-credit enterprises to finance household needs.[49]
[41] Article 35, Sub Section 7 of the Constitution, in ECA (2009b) p.5 [42] Knox, A. et al. (2007) pp.4,7 [43] ECA (2009b) p.5 [44] US Department of State (2010) [45] CSO AND ORC MACRO (2006), Table 16.12 [46] JICA (2006) p. 29 [47] CEDAW (2009) p.72; World Bank (1999) p.152 [48] CEDAW (2009) p.35[49] African Development Bank (AfDB) (2004) p. 15; JICA (2006) p. 31
Freedom of movement for everyone is restricted in certain parts of Ethiopia, on the pretext of national security concerns.[50] There do not appear to be any legal restrictions specifically on women's freedom of access to public space; however, some women may face restrictions on a day-to-day basis: of women surveyed in the 2005 DHS, 20.8% reported that their husband had the final say on whether they were able to go and visit family or relatives.[51] Freedom of speech, assembly and association are all limited in Ethiopia, with much of the media under government control, and a new law introduced in 2009 which severely restricts the activities of NGOs.[52]
Women in Ethiopia have the same rights as men to vote and stand for election to political office.[53] Ethiopia has made recent gains in the level of political participation among women. The %age of women in the Federal Parliament has risen from 7.7 in 2003 to 21.3 as of December 2009.[54] As of 2009, 13 % of the top position in both the executive and judicial branches were held by women; among higher-level positions below the Ministers and Judges, women held 26.6 %.[55]
Rising female rates of political participation correspond to recent survey data showing an increase in acceptance of women politicians. According to a 2007 World Values Survey, more than 77 % of respondents either disagreed or disagreed strongly with the statement, 'Men make better political leaders than women do.[56] Similarly, the Pew Global Attitudes Project found that while 51 % of respondents thought that men make better political leaders than women, 45 % thought that men and women were equally capable.[57]
Employed women in Ethiopia are entitled to 90 days of paid maternity leave, with their employer covering the entire cost of their benefits, which are 100 % of their wages.[58] However, women only account for around 30 % of the formal employment sector in Ethiopia, and many work in rural, agricultural settings and are not paid in cash wages.[59] According to the 2005 DHS, 60 % of employed women received no pay.[60] While no official statistics exist, these circumstances would indicate that the number of women who receive maternity benefits in Ethiopia is low.

With the exception of a short period of Italian occupation (1936-41), Ethiopia has always been an independent country.[1] From 1974 to 1991, the country was ruled by military junta. This period saw civil conflict, repeated famines, and repression.[2] Since then, the country has been relatively stable, although war with neighbouring Eritrea (which became independent from Ethiopia following a referendum in 1993) over border demarcation in the late 1990s saw tens of thousands of people killed.[3] Conflict continues in the Ogadan region in eastern Ethiopia, between government forces and Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF), a largely ethnic Somali insurgent group.[4] Ethiopia is one of Africa's poorest states. Its economy is heavily reliant on agriculture, which results in severe food shortages when the rains fail.[5] Ethiopia is classed as a low-income country by the World Bank.[6]
Despite recently introduced policy instruments and legislative commitments designed to serve women's interests and a Constitution[7] that guarantees women the same rights and protections as men, gender gaps in education, economic empowerment and political participation remain.[8] A vast majority of Ethiopian women, particularly in rural areas, are gravely affected by poverty.
Ethiopia ratified the Convention on the Elimination of All forms of Discrimination Against Women in 1981, but has not yet ratified the CEDAW Optional Protocol.[9] The country has signed but not ratified the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and People's Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa.[10]

Genetic distance is defined as the total difference in allele values of different genetic markers between two individuals. The smaller the value of the genetic distance, the closer the two individuals are related, and the more recently they shared a common ancestor. The method that genetic distance is determined for various marker types is explained below.
A. Calculation of genetic distance for single-copy markers
For single-copy markers, the calculation is straightforward. The genetic distance for each single copy marker between two individuals is the absolute value of the difference between the value of the marker:
The total genetic distance between two individuals is the sum of the genetic distances of all markers compared.
B. Calculation of genetic distance for multi-copy markers Markers DYS385, DYS459, DYS464 and YCAII are multi-copy Y-STR markers.
For most multi-copy markers, genetic distance can be calculated by adding the differences in allele values for each of the two copies.
C. Calculation of genetic distance for multi-copy marker DYS464 - using Infinite allele model
Assuming mutations at different copies of the same marker took place in a single generation, the Infinite allele method counts the total difference between all copies of the same maker as 1, despite the fact that more than one mutation exists.
Genetic distance for DYS464 is calculated using this method.
D. Calculation of genetic distance for DYS389i/ii
DYS389i is embedded in DYS389ii; therefore, the DYS389i values are included in DYS389ii values. Genetic distance can be determined by adding up two differences: differences in DYS389i values and differences in the second part of DYS389ii values, which are obtained by subtracting the DYS389ii values by DYS389i values.

Is it legal to drive a deceased person's vehicle with their plates and insurance?
Question Details:
E.M., Member, California Bar / FreeAdvice Contributing Attorney Answered 3 years ago| Contributor
If the personal representative for the deceased person's estate has given a person permission to drive the vehicle once owned by the decedent before title has been transferred over to the beneficiary of the car by Will, trust or intestate succession, there is nothing improper for the use of the car by the third person.
The requirement is that the car should have valid registration and insurance upon it. Plus the driver should have a valid driver's license and insurance to drive a motor vehicle.

Associated Press
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) -- It's beyond dispute that Jorge Mario Bergoglio, like most other Argentines, failed to openly confront the 1976-1983 military junta as it kidnapped and killed thousands of people in a "dirty war" to eliminate leftist opponents.
But human rights activists differ on how much responsibility Pope Francis personally deserves for the Argentine church's dark history of supporting the murderous dictatorship.
The new pope's authorized biographer, Sergio Rubin, argues that this was a failure of the Roman Catholic Church in general, and that it's unfair to label Bergoglio, then a thirtysomething leader of Argentina's Jesuits, with the collective guilt that many Argentines of his generation still wrestle with.
"In some way many of us Argentines ended up being accomplices," at a time when anyone who spoke out could be targeted, Rubin recalled in an interview with The Associated Press just before the papal conclave.
Some leading Argentine human rights activists agree that Bergoglio, now 76, doesn't deserve to be lumped together with other church figures who were closely aligned with the dictatorship.
"Perhaps he didn't have the courage of other priests, but he never collaborated with the dictatorship," Adolfo Perez Esquivel, who won the 1980 Nobel Peace Prize for documenting the junta's atrocities, said Thursday. "Bergoglio was no accomplice of the dictatorship. He can't be accused of that," Perez Esquivel told Radio de la Red in Buenos Aires.
But others say Bergoglio's rise through the Argentine church since then has put him in many positions of power where he could have done more to atone for the sins of Catholic officials who did actively conspire with the dictators. Some priests even worked inside torture centers, and blessed those doing the killing.
And now that Argentina is actively putting former dictatorship figures on trial for human rights violations, they say he's been more concerned about preserving the church's image than providing evidence that could lead to convictions.
"There's hypocrisy here when it comes to the church's conduct, and with Bergoglio in particular," said Estela de la Cuadra, whose family lost five members during the junta years and whose mother co-founded the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo activist group to search for missing people. "There are trials of all kinds now, and Bergoglio systematically refuses to support them."
Bergoglio twice invoked his right under Argentine law to refuse to appear in open court in trials involving torture and murder inside the feared Navy Mechanics School and the theft of babies from detainees. When he eventually did testify in 2010, his answers were evasive, human rights attorney Myriam Bregman told the AP.
Bergoglio's own statements proved church officials knew from early on that the junta was torturing and killing its citizens even as the church publicly endorsed the dictators, she said. "The dictatorship could not have operated this way without this key support," she said.
Rubin, a religious affairs writer for the Argentine newspaper Clarin, said Bergoglio actually took major risks to save so-called "subversives" during the dictatorship, but never spoke about it publicly before his 2010 biography, "The Jesuit."
In the book, Bergoglio said he didn't want to stoop to his critics' level -- and then shared some of his stories. Bergoglio said he once passed his Argentine identity papers to a wanted man with a similar appearance, enabling him to escape over the border to Brazil. Various times, he said he sheltered people inside church properties before they were safely delivered into exile.
The most damning accusation against Bergoglio is that as the military junta took over in 1976, he withdrew his support for two slum priests whose activist colleagues in the liberation theology movement were disappearing. The priests were then kidnapped and tortured at the Navy Mechanics School, which the junta used as a clandestine prison.
Bergoglio said he had told the priests -- Orlando Yorio and Francisco Jalics -- to give up their slum work for their own safety, and they refused.
"I warned them to be very careful," Bergoglio told Rubin. "They were too exposed to the paranoia of the witch hunt. Because they stayed in the barrio, Yorio and Jalics were kidnapped."
Yorio later accused Bergoglio of effectively delivering them to the death squads by declining to publicly endorse their work. Yorio is now dead, and Jalics has refused to discuss those events since moving into a German monastery.
Both priests were eventually dropped off blindfolded in a field after a harrowing helicopter ride, two of the few detainees to have survived that prison.

Irish golfer Padraig Harrington shot 68 and tied for fourth with Masters champion Angel Cabrera and Dustin Johnson at the Deutsche Bank Championship in Boston on Monday.
Though Harrington recovered from two poor drives that cost him three penalty strokes and birdied the final two holes, but it was not enough to take the title after a closing round of three-under-par 68 left him on 15-under.
Steve Stricker birdied the 18th to claim the title and top spot in the FedEx Cup play-off standings from Tiger Woods.
Although Harrington missed out on the title, the Dubliner moves into the top 20 of the FedEx Cup with two events still to come.

This past weekend I finally rounded up all of my Christmas decorations that were scattered around the house. Although, I will admit there wasn't much to pick up. In fact, we didn't even get a tree this year. We usually get ours the day after Thanksgiving but this year we postponed our annual outing until a week prior to Christmas so all of Nate's out of state family could join us. By that point I was pretty burnt out on the Christmas decor let alone trying to keep a tree alive for the next week.
( PLUS it meant I didn't have those toe poking needles to vacuum up ) No tree - Okay with me.
So the few things I dug out of the attic were once again reunited with their plastic bins and dusty cobwebs. And in turn, I get to decorate all over again. Happy girl right here.
Of course my color palette of choice after a long holiday season of red, greens and various bright colors would be none other than neutrals. White is my new best friend for the next month or two.
Serenity in the living room once again.

The recent decline in invasive breast cancer in the US was significantly less pronounced in the poor and those who live in rural areas. Researchers writing in the open access journal BMC Medicine suggest this may be due to varying reductions in the numbers of women taking hormone therapy (HT).
Christina Clarke, Ph.D., led a team of researchers from the Northern California Cancer Center who studied breast cancer incidence data from the largest cancer database available in the US for the years 1997-2004, comparing poor areas against rich and urban areas against rural.
She said, "Between 2001 and 2004, incidence rates of invasive breast cancer declined more than 8% in the United States. "One possible explanation for this is widespread discontinuation of and/or failure to initiate HT. Because this cessation of HT use was more pronounced in rich/urban areas, we wanted to see if there was a corresponding difference in breast cancer incidence between these areas and poor/rural parts of the country".
The researchers found that overall invasive breast cancer incidence fell 13.2%, with greater reductions among women living in urban (-13.8%) versus rural (-7.5%) and low- (-13.0%) or middle- (-13.8%) versus high- (-9.6%) poverty counties. Breast cancer incidence trends for rural counties, which peaked in 1999 and then declined steadily, differed from those observed in urban counties, where rates fell dramatically after 2002. The researchers speculate that this may be due to variations in exposure to the news that HT was associated with breast cancer, they cite a 2007 report that found that the number of newspaper articles about the harmful effects of HT found in the 2002 Women's Health Initiative (WHI) trial correlated with urban residence and likelihood of HT cessation/non-initiation; women in urban areas were potentially exposed to more newspaper articles and had a larger decline in the prevalence of HT use.
Dr. Clarke added that "Understanding what specific populations were involved in the breast cancer declines helps us to better plan prevention efforts for the future, especially with the aging of the baby boomer population into prime breast cancer age."

Adrian Beltre believes the new-look Texas Rangers are still going to be competitive in the AL West.
Beltre, a Gold Glove-winning third baseman who hit .321 with 36 homers last season, said Friday that the Rangers still "have some good pieces" in the lineup that can get the job done.
They also have a solid pitching staff led by Yu Darvish, who won 16 games as a major league rookie last season. The Japanese ace says he's more at ease this year and is able to prepare at a less-rushed pace.
There will be significant changes after the Rangers lost Josh Hamilton in free agency to the division-rival Los Angeles Angels, traded Michael Young and watched Mike Napoli agree to a deal with Boston that's still not finalized.

Feeding your youngster (up to 12 months)
- Make sure the label of any food you feed your pet states that it offers "complete and balanced nutrition for all stages of life". The label should support that claim by stating that the food has undergone feeding tests or trials.
- Two different pet foods can have the exact same ingredient list, but differ greatly in terms of the actual nutrition they offer. Lower cost brands tend to provide less nutrition.
- Always offer plenty of fresh, clean water.
- Pay close attention to your pet. Bright eyes, an energetic attitude, proper body condition and a shiny coat are all indications of proper nutrition.

AVON LAKE — Charles Severn Spielberger, 87, of Avon Lake, formerly of Columbus, passed away Saturday, Aug. 7, 2010.
He was born Sept. 18, 1922, in Philadelphia, Pa., son of the late Charles and Laura (Hiest) Spielberger. Charles served in the Air Guard flying fighter planes in World War II earning many commendation medals and the rank of first lieutenant. Returning from the war, he lived in Washington, D.C., where he met his wife, Joyce. They began their married life in Mount Vernon and after the birth of their two children moved to Columbus, where Charlie worked for the State of Ohio Insurance Commission among other financial based jobs over the years and raised his family. He was a member of the Bexley United Methodist Church. In retirement, Charlie loved to read, do crossword puzzles, visit with neighbors and travel with his wife. Upon her death he relocated to Avon Lake to be close to his son and his family. Charlie was extremely proud of his two grandsons. He enjoyed life until health issues took him from us. Charlie always had a smile and a small joke for everyone that came his way and he will be greatly missed.
Charles is survived by his beloved children, Korby (Shari) Spielberger of Avon Lake and Stacey (Terry Retter) Spielberger of Herndon, Va.; and grandsons, Micheal and Jonathan Spielberger of Avon Lake.
In addition to his parents, Charles was preceded in death by his loving wife of 56 years, Joyce C. (Mondron) Spielberger on Feb. 6, 2008; a sister, Elizabeth "Betty" Wolfinger; and a brother, Amandis "Mugs" Spielberger.

Bay County residents could soon have access to the Sheriff's Office shooting range.
Commissioner Guy Tunnell is suggesting the county open the range near Camp Flowers Road to the public on weekends.
He says building a new public range would cost too much money.
Commissioners voted on Tuesday to send Bay County Sheriff Frank McKeithen a letter, requesting the public access.
McKeithen says he won't know the full details until he receives the letter.
While he is a big gun advocate, he says he's concerned about staffing the range and booking.
"That range is used by various law enforcement agencies: state, federal and local. On the weekend, it's used for hunter's safety courses. It's scheduled weeks and months ahead of time," said McKeithen.
"My idea was to open this up like on a Saturday morning or a Sunday afternoon for folks to go out and target practice or site their weapons in or those things. I think it will be minimally evasive of the Sheriff's operations," said Tunnell.
No decisions will be made until after commissioners hear from McKeithen.
They may also consider other shooting ranges.

Whether you lavished your Mum with tissue-wrapped goodies from Whistles and made her a lovely lunch while she put her feet up, or you sheepishly palmed her off with some petrol-scented carnations on Sunday, around the world many aren't in as fortunate position as us. Millions of women each year are dying needlessly in childbirth.
Pregnancy is not a disease, yet it kills one woman every minute. Almost all of these deaths are preventable and 95% of them occur in developing countries. Poverty, violence and a lack of education all contribute.
We think the following statistic is the one of the most shocking: the lifetime risk of maternal death here in the
Grazia's Editor in Chief Jane Bruton and deputy Marianne Jones take this issue so seriously that they're running the London marathon in support of Ammesty's campaign - see page 32 of this week's Grazia, about the maternity ward in Tanzania where a woman dies every hour from preventable complications in childbirth.
Annie Lennox, Keira Knightly and Dervla Kirwan are onto it too – so get involved today. Amnesty Protect the Human.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I recently attended a 7-8 grade volleyball game at the Aspira middle school campus on Leland Ave. Students were out of control, foul mouth, disrespectful and security guards were oblivious. Must be the "norm" for this school. Very sad! Stay away, terrible atmosphere.
Aspira inc of IL. is a charter school that has many problems with its faculty and students.The faculty members are always offering extra help and never seem to follow thru on those promises.The school seems to turn a blind eye to the violence it has occuring in its schools especially Aspira Early College Prep.Alot of the students are gang related and some of the faculty were gang related in there early years aswell.The city would be better off closing these schools and using those funds to upgrade the existing schools that could use those funds properly in the education of good students willing to learn.I was very dissapointed that i transfered my straight A student into there school system expecting a real college prep enviornment and the experience is anything but.I am glad the school year is almost over so i can transfer my child out of this disfunctional school.
ASPIRA Inc. of IL is a terribly run organization, whose high schools are failing and making no progress. They do not offer any advanced courses, so students cannot receive an appropriate level of instruction; fast kids are constantly bored, and slower kids can't keep up. ASPIRA schools also allow students who fail all of there classes to move on with the next year's classes, which creates many problems in the classroom. ASPIRA does not even provide books for most classes! Over 50% of teachers leave each year from AEC and Mirta! ASPIRA Early College High School currently has a principal with no experience working at the high school level, and little experience with the American education system. Yolanda Mijangos spent many years teaching elementary levels in Mexico, and then found her way into the ASPIRA organization, where she was pushed up as an assistant principal of Haugan Middle School. One year later, she became the principal of AEC, after the CEO, Jose Rodriguez, fired the only capable principal ASPIRA has ever had. These schools will remain dysfunctional until real principals are put into place, proper resources are provided, and experienced teachers are retained.
School is horrible! i went there for about 3 weeks and everything was very disorganized. i did not understand anything that was going on and that in the school i transfered from i was in ap and in honors classes bein a sophmore. but i know that some teachers did try to teach but the students made it really hard to progress and move on to a next lesson. the only good thing about the school being runned by latinos is that they do really care about the students. because thats how we are with each other. i think if it gets alot of help in the education area it would be a great school because the teachers did care and the administration. no fights at all, not even arguements. but school is all about education and since it lacked very badly in it. it is not a good school.
Mirta Ramirez HS is currently sharing space with a public grammar school after their old location was shut down by the fire dept. The students are constantly harassed by the security guards. The school offers no AP classes so students are not prepared to attend college. Parents offer to volunteer but are never contacted by the Aspira organization that runs the school. All of the good teachers left this year due to zero support from the Aspira administration. Only nieghborhood children attend this school because their parents believe the false promises of Aspira. Most of the students that attend are low income minority kids who desperately need a good education.
Mirta Ramirez High School has been a nightmare back and forth. If it's not for it's great teachers, this school will have gone straight to the bottom. This school does not offer gym classes, and as we students need 2 credits of gym, they pile up two so called gym/health classes which does not help at all with the students being active in any sort. We don't have an actual gym teacher; we are thought by a former computer teacher. Um!! there's no comparison at all from gym to computers, so we don't experience the real thrill of having gym classes. But at the other hand, we do have a handfull of great teachers and advicers that care more about its students than the 'school' itself. Students are rarely informed of what's really going on with the school. No help nor support from principal for seniors. Sad I Know...
Mirta Ramirez School offers no honors classes or after school activities. Teachers leave mid year with no warning or explanation to students or parents. Students use old computers and have no internet access. The Aspira Organization boasts that their schools have PTO's & after school activities for students & workshops for parents all of which is false. The students & parents set up a PTO last year but there has been zero support from Aspira. We had a great principal, asst principal and senior counselor who were all fired in June. Two teachers quit at the beginning of the year and they have yet to be replaced. The students are the ones who are suffering through all this turmoil. Parents are trying to support the school but this is impossible when Aspira will not listen to the students, teachers or parents.
School doesn't offer gym, music or art. Need to improve quality of teachers and classes offered. Students deserve a school building they can be proud of. Principal needs to recruit and keep teachers who will not leave during the first month of school. Children who are smart are not challenged and students who need extra help do not get it. Unfortunately, the parents do not participate as they should. Those who offer to help are never encouraged to do so.

LA CANADA FLINTRIDGE, Calif. (AP) - Two drivers involved in a Los Angeles-area car crash each suffered hundreds of bee stings after one of the vehicles hit a tree and disturbed a hive.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Sgt. Jose Larios says the collision occurred Sunday in suburban La Canada Flintridge.
One of the drivers, a 51-year-old woman, jumped into a backyard swimming pool to escape the swarming insects.
The driver of the other car, a 17-year-old girl, fell to the street where a deputy found her covered in bees. He sprayed her with a fire extinguisher to get the swarm off of her and then they ran to safety.
Both drivers were treated at a hospital. The deputy was also stung, but not hospitalized.
The bee hive was removed by a pest control company.

National Transportation Safety Board
Office of Public Affairs
The National Transportation Safety Board today released the following update on its investigation of the September 20, 2003, air tour accident at Grand Canyon, Arizona, involving an Aerospatiale AS350BA helicopter operated by Sundance Helicopters, Inc., which resulted in the deaths of all seven people on board.
On September 20, 2003, an Aerospatiale AS350BA (N270SH) collided with a canyon wall during a descent near the Grand Canyon West Airport, Arizona. The helicopter was destroyed as a result of the collision and a post impact fire. The helicopter was operated by Sundance Helicopters, Inc., which is based in Las Vegas, Nevada. The National Transportation Safety Board continues to investigate the crash, which killed the pilot and all six passengers on board during a commercial flight conducted under 14 CFR Part 135. A preliminary factual report is available on the Safety Board's web site, www.ntsb.gov.
The on-scene examination of the accident site revealed evidence of a main rotor blade strike in the near vertical face of a canyon wall. The main wreckage was located about 200 yards farther down the canyon.
An Airworthiness Group was formed and conducted a detailed reconstruction and examination of all of the recoverable airframe and engine wreckage at a facility in Phoenix, Arizona. The examination of the wreckage, including the engine, did not reveal any evidence of a preimpact mechanical malfunction. Several hydraulic flight control actuators, a hydraulic system pump, and a cockpit annunciator panel have been extracted from the wreckage for additional metallurgical examination at the Safety Board's Materials Laboratory in Washington, DC and other locations.
The Airworthiness Group is also researching possible flight control malfunction scenarios, and they are working closely with operations and aircraft performance specialists in an attempt to define the flight path and aerodynamic profile of the accident flight. This portion of the investigation has been hampered by the lack of any flight recorder on board the helicopter. (Flight recorders are currently not required to be installed on these types of aircraft.) An Operations Group was formed to investigate the operational aspects of the flight. The Group has conducted interviews with several officials of Sundance Helicopters, inspectors with the Federal Aviation Administration, and pilots of other air tour helicopter operators. The Group is continuing to obtain evidence related to the background and experience level of the pilot, the adequacy of surveillance by the FAA, and the safety of air tour operations conducted outside of the Special Federal Air Regulations (SFAR) airspace of the Grand Canyon.
Safety Board investigators are also continuing to interview passengers who flew with Sundance Helicopters on the day of the accident. So far, seven passengers have been located and interviewed. Four of these passengers flew with the accident pilot on the flight prior to the accident flight, and the others flew with another Sundance pilot the day of the accident. Additionally, digital still photographs from the accident flight and previous flights have been obtained. The Safety Board is continuing to examine flight manifest and passenger records in an attempt to obtain more witness names and addresses for additional passenger observations and potential videos of previous flights.

Jersey Shore Half Marathon & Sandy Hook Lighthouse 5K
Fort Hancock, NJ • Sunday, October 6, 2013 •
Course Map
Set for its 41st annual running in the early fall of 2012 underneath the breezy skies of New Jersey's Gateway National Recreation Area along the Sandy Hook peninsula, the Jersey Shore Half Marathon & Sandy Hook Lighthouse 5K race take runners on a fast and flat course that's among the oldest distance running events anywhere in the state.
From the starting line near Parking Lot E, which lies near the southern end of the barrier spit that sticks out into Sandy Hook Bay, runners follow a fast and largely flat USATF-certified double loop course that unfolds all the way to the lighthouse area at the north end of Sandy Hook and back to the parking lot area for the finish.
More than 1,100 runners crossed the finish line in both races combined at the event's 2012 running, including 908 runners in the half marathon alone. For 2013, the starting time for the 13.1-mile race is scheduled for 9:00 AM, while runners in the 5K will start at 9:05 AM.
While you're in the area and if you have time, stick around for a tour of the Gateway National Recreational Area, a 26,000-acre park with natural features such as marshes, sandy beaches, and wildlife sanctuaries and man-made structures like its historic military installations. The park is noteworthy as the first urban recreational area of its kind set aside by the federal government, along with San Francisco's Golden Gate National Recreation Area.
Race Weather & Climate
Nestled along the northern end of the Gateway National Recreation Area peninsula that divides Sandy Hook Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, just over a 55-mile drive south from New York City, Sandy Hook typically sees October temperatures that average between 49°F and 64°F, with rainfall totals averaging just under 3.4 inches for the month.
On the day of the race (Oct. 6), the average low is 52°F and the average high is 68°F.

Two things: I want a list of all precedents where parents have successfully sued the SCA for a 16 or 17 yr old in heavy combat, with the necessary qualifier that all appropriate waivers and release forms were signed by both parents and juvenile.

Kayla Christopher of UTC advances against Wofford's Chanel Stokes in a November game at McKenzie Arena.Photo by Staff File Photo /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women's basketball team stole the ball from Wofford 16 times in Monday's 63-44 win. Eleven of those steals led to points for the Lady Mocs.
In all, 25 of UTC's 63 points were scored on the possession following a steal.
"We just needed energy, and defense is a way to make that happen," said UTC freshman guard Tatianna Jackson, who scored six of her seven points after Lady Mocs steals. "We're trying to make plays and get after it."
Jackson made three steals herself.
The Lady Mocs are alone in first place in the Southern Conference following Monday's game. At 18-3 overall and 11-1 in the league, they are just ahead of Davidson (13-8, 10-1), followed by Elon and Appalachian State with three league losses each.
Samford (11-10, 8-4), UTC's opponent tonight at McKenzie Arena, is in fifth place.
The Lady Mocs were last in the SoCon last season with 6.3 steals a game. This season, they are averaging 10.2. UTC's steals total heading into tonight's game is 215, 15 more than all of last season.
Steals mean stops, and they often mean easy baskets at the other end. Alex Black led UTC with 14 points Monday and eight of her points came after steals, including a 3-point basket late in the first half that put UTC up 24-23 at the break and a 3 to start the second half.
"We came out in the second half and we knew we needed to be the aggressors," Black said, adding that getting about a dozen steals a game is what UTC "should be doing. Some nights it comes easier than others."
In their 66-60 win at Samford on Jan. 23, the Lady Mocs forced the Bulldogs into 23 turnovers. UTC had eight steals in that game, including three each by Jackson and Kayla Christopher.
"That's very unusual for a Samford team," UTC coach Wes Moore said of the turnovers. "They usually take very good care of the ball."
The Lady Mocs outscored Samford 17-8 in points off turnovers and certainly wouldn't mind duplicating that tonight.
