Patrick Duffy is remembering his Dallas costar Larry Hagman, who died on Friday after a battle with throat cancer.
"Friday, I lost one of the greatest friends ever to grace my life. The loneliness is only what is difficult as Larry's peace and comfort is always what is important to me, now as when he was here," Duffy said in a statement. "He was a fighter in the gentlest way, against his obstacles and for his friends. I wear his friendship with honor."
On Dallas, Duffy, 63, played Bobby Ewing, the brother of Hagman's notorious oilman J.R. Ewing.
Linda Gray – who played Sue Ellen Ewing, Hagman's wife on the series – expressed her condolences on Saturday.
"Larry Hagman was my best friend for 35 years. He was the Pied Piper of life and brought joy to everyone he knew," she said in a statement released to PEOPLE. "He was creative, generous, funny, loving and talented and I will miss him enormously. He was an original and lived life to the fullest. The world was a brighter place because of Larry."

That's a fair description. What one hopes with a hired tech specialist consultant is that he or she will point out every little possible flaw so that it can be fixed.
Actually, you might want to clear things up some more. Were you saying that Maurizio was supporting D&W by penalizing V&M? You had a problem with what I said, which was really not a very original point - your critics are your best motivators; Maurizio et al helped them see what they can improve to beat D&W. Then you handwaved that I made a distinction between consultant and coach.
The simplest answer is sometimes the best one:
The tech panel correctly and ethically assigned the appropriate levels to the lift and the spin that were performed on that night.
I believe Doris has already provided a plausible breakdown of where levels were lost, and I haven't seen anyone dispute her analysis with alternate technical explanations. My understanding is that V/M have already acknowledged that the levels were fairly assigned.
I'm not sure how we went from there to Maurizio was "helping" or "hurting."
Edit: I'm now not certain the italicized portion is true... I may have misread other information... but leaving it in for clarification/discussion.
I offered the alternative suggestion that the Tech Specialist at the JGP event (who is the person primarily responsible for calls on a Tech Panel) was Maurizio Margaglio, and that perhaps Maurizio was not as eagle-eyed a tech guy as the Tech Specialist who was on both the Finlandia and Salt Lake panels, György Elek.
The thread drift went from there.
Thank you. I had gotten confused.
But György Elek doesn't sound like a name of an American (perhaps he is, though. Melting Pot and all that...). Assuming he's not... where did the veiled accusations of pro-American/anti-Canadian bias come from? I suppose I'm hopelessly lost.
Edit: Oh, wait. Did the bias discussion come up because the Assistant was American?
To point out how lost I am... I had thought from the discussion that Maurizio was the tech specialist at Finlandia...
To me, Matt K's separate point (which by no means negates yours) is that Margaglio works with both Davis/White and Virtue/Moir (as well as other members of Team Canton) -- and is supporting both D/W and V/M with whatever expertise that he offers.
So not only is Margaglio helping V/M earn every tenth of a point that they can (with the ultimate goal of outscoring D/W) -- but also Margaglio is helping D/W earn every tenth that they can (with the ultimate goal of outscoring V/M).
Presumably, since silence is assent, and since V&M did not challenge the results, they were OK with them. Since they won the competition by many points, I doubt that they would take the trouble, for that matter, and might be glad to know that they had some issues.
Checking whether you have level issues is one of the reasons that elite level teams go to B level competitions...that and the ISU points you get from competing there.
Gyorgy Elek formerly skated for Hungary in ice dance with Zsuzsanna NAGY.
The other Tech specialist on the JGP team was Doreen HOPPE from Great Britain.
The Tech Controller was Katalin ALPERN (ISR).
The only interesting thing here is that Alpern was originally from Hungary, and Doreen Hoppe's husband Gary used to judge for Israel, so there is a HUN-ISR-GBR connection among the tech panel.
V/M were the ones to struggle the most with levels after Igor left. Them actually and the Shibs. Really and truly IMHO, Marina and Igor breaking up really hurt them. I get the feeling that it is a great challenge for them to merge the technical and the artistic just because of how naturally gifted they are as performers and dancers. They needed therefore that sharp eye to keep them on track, Igor's. That being said they just have to work harder and or smarter to get the levels up. It's a pity that they don't seem to have the option of having him as a consultant, even though Marina is their main coach at the moment. Seems silly to me to let personal issues between to grown people (Igor and Marina) get in the way of them possibly vying for a record tying second Olympic gold medal in ice dance. Oh well

This building was once a silk factory, believe it or not. My dad, who would be 99 if he were alive, worked there as a young man, spooling silk thread that was going to be used in parasols. Things do change, don't they?

PULSE, an MFA thesis exhibition by Jonathan SwanzMarch 17, 2013 - March 22, 2013
Manoa Campus, Commons Gallery, Art Building
In his MFA thesis exhibition "PULSE," Jonathan Swanz utilizes architectural video installations and performance to explore behavioral relationships between human bodies and the material world. Three interrelated pieces—"Skin," "Transmutant," and "Gravity Well"— collectively offer an experiential alternative to what Swanz acknowledges as a socio-cultural dislocation of human consciousness from the physical body. "PULSE" provides an immersive time-based and human-scaled expression of material state change to assist in reclaiming the intuitive knowledge of humans relating to the body as part of the living energy world.
The exhibition "PULSE" runs from Sunday, March 17 through Friday, March 22. An opening reception will be held on Sunday, March 17 from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Commons Gallery.
Performances of "Transmutant"-- Sunday, March 17 at 6:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.; Tuesday, March 19 at 3:00 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.; Wednesday, March 20 at 11:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.
Ticket Information
Gallery hours: Sun. 5:00-8:00 p.m.; Mon.-Fri. 10:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. Admission is free. Free parking on Sun. Parking fees apply during week.

Christmas may be over, but it does not feel that way in the Old Mill District in Bend .
While kids are still on winter break, the Old Mill is offering them some neat activities.
At the Santa Land space next to Jimmy Johns, kids can take art classes -- making paper dragons and cardboard creatures.
And kids can also enjoy a reading during story time, provided by the Deschutes Public Library.
For children on hand Saturday, they were treated to some time with a special local celebrity, gold medal decathlete Ashton Eaton.
Eaton's mom read, while he sat along with the children to listen.
It's all an effort to promote the importance of reading.
"It's really important, mainly to continue the reading, and the season just helps out," said Todd Dunkelberg, director of the Deschutes Public Library. "There's not much to do -- school's out, there's not a lot of activities going on, so we are trying to supplement that for people."
Dunkelberg said having local celebrities read to children is all part of the governor's 40-40-20 plan. That plan calls for 40 percent of adults having a bachelor's degree, 40 percent having an associates degree and all adults to hold a high school diploma by 2025.
Story time will continue next Wednesday January 2nd through Friday January 4th.

The Lambert-Shelton brood just keeps getting bigger and bigger!
On Thursday, Miranda Lambert introduced her latest rescue puppy, a cutie named Emmy Lou, on Twitter.
"Ok ok I know I need to stop," she wrote, posting a photo of her cuddling with the furry girl. "But she was in a ditch!"
The newest arrival to the family comes just six months after the country star brought home another dog, Opheila. She adopted the stray after Ophelia wandered onto her and husband Blake Shelton's property.
But no one is more aware of her obsession with animals than the star herself.
"They just come to me! I'm an animal magnet!" she Tweeted on Thursday shortly after introducing Emmy Lou, posting a photo of her holding a frog.
In addition to Ophelia, Emmy Lou joins the couple's menagerie, which includes pooches Delta, Delilha, Jessi, Waylon, Virginia Bluebell, Black Betty and Cher.

Brushed and polished surfaces blend harmoniously on the stainless steel case. Each facet interfaces with light differently, enhancing owner enjoyment and reminding the wearer of the quality case construction. Measuring 40mm in diameter, the proportions are perfectly judged providing widespread appeal. Short case lugs, sharply taper downwards encouraging the strap to cosset the wrist in comfortable union. The Pontos Day/Date is available in three "Vintage" dial options, green, light grey or light brown. Their retro appearance confers a classicism which is very appealing. Each variant employs the same contrasting colour for the central seconds hand and the text, "Automatic" is proclaimed in the lower portion of the dial.
The diamond cut Hours and Minutes hands have luminous tips aiding legibility in poor light. Areas of brightness and shade are created by the applied diamond cut indexes, once more successfully exploiting light. A minute track frames the extremities of the dial. A date aperture resides above 6 o'clock and most notably a day display is presented in an arching aperture below noon. The expression of time is concise yet comprehensive. The alluring aesthetics are completed with the discreet crown which neatly hugs the caseband and is protected by the adjacent crown guards.

Several fire departments responded to Nagawicka Lake late Saturday morning after receiving a report of a scuba diver in distress under ice, according to a news release.
Diver Steven G. LaLonde, 32, had been found by other divers in his group and removed from the water, the release indicated. Authorities said the diver was not breathing, so a member of the group started CPR.
Authorities took LaLonde to an area hospital, according to the release, where he was pronounced dead. The release indicates LaLonde was an experienced diver.
The investigation is ongoing, according to the release, but authorities said initial indications point to a possible equipment issue.

Al Davis, the late maverick owner of the NFLs Oakland Raiders, said it best when he coined the phrase, Just win baby.
For area football teams Berkeley, Timberland, Cross and St. Johns Christian Academy, its all about winning in 2014.
For the Berkeley Stags, Coach Jeff Cruce begins his fourth year and expectations are high throughout Stag Nation to see a big crooked number in the win column.
The Stags open against Johnsonville on Aug. 22 and look to be in the thick of Region 8AAA with rivals Hanahan, Orangeburg-Wilkinson and Beaufort for coveted home field playoff games during the first round.
Berkeley has taken to the road each of the last three seasons for the playoffs and has not advanced beyond the second round since winning a fifth state championship in 2009.
The Timberland Wolves have finally embraced their destiny:
Beat Dillon.
Since returning to Class AA in 2008 the Wolves are 1-6 against perennial foe Dillon. Timberlands lone victory against the Wildcats came in the 2011 Lower State Finals on their way to the 2011 Class State Championship.
We have to schedule tougher opponents if we are to have any hope of beating Dillon, said Coach Art Craig, whose pre-region schedule includes a two-quarter scrimmage against Stratford in the Sertoma Classic, then games against Hanahan, Cross, Bishop England, Crestwood and Berkeley.
Theirs is a schedule that should get Craigs Wolves ready for playoff football come November.
The Cross Trojans are faced with the unenviable task of replacing a trio of former all-state running backs in Devontae Shepherd, Dionte Evans and Diamonte Evans.
While the core of the Trojans 2012 team wont ever be forgotten, winning in 2014 will help make moving on and forward a much easier pill to swallow.
Coach Shaun Wright once again has scheduled one of the toughest pre-region schedules in the county, opening with defending state champion Hunter-Kinard-Tyle on Aug. 29 and then perennial rival Timberland the week following on Sept. 5.
Its all about getting game ready for the region, Wright said.
St. Johns Christian
For St. Johns Christian Academy, winning this fall will help usher in the second McCall Era for the Cavaliers in younger brother John McCall.
Playing SCISA 8-Man football, the Cavs finished a disappointing 3-6 in 2013 and look forward to putting the off-year behind them.
In 2012, in former coach Bill McCalls final season at SJCA, the Cavaliers played for the SCISA Class A state title.
As the younger McCall takes over for former coach Matt Gilbert, who coached one season on the SJCA sidelines, winning will have Cavalier fans looking forward to 2014 and beyond.
The countdown clock ticks down to 00:00 and on Friday, Aug. 1, its time to lace up the cleats and strap on the pads.
After a long, hot summer, fans are hungry for some football.

Report: At least 19 in county have no shelter
February 15, 2013
A recent "point-in-time" count of homelessness in the county shows 19 people are living in an unsheltered environment. Of the total, three were identified as children under the age of 18....
Plenty of homes in this county, remove the ones in public housing committing crimes.

It sounds to me like the method of counting homeless took a page from counting unemployed. What a bunch of idiots. Homeless is homeless, unemployed is unemployed. The way the pols count is insane. No wonder they are unable to create or balance a budget.

Yet they keep ripping down old buildings and making parking lots, that could be renovated and made into homeless shelters. Good Job Gabriel...You continue to be completely stupid.

As Sweet Home school district teachers and administrators seek to improve academic outcomes among their students, attempts are in the offing to strengthen the district's relationships with local business and industry.
Following a School Board work session this week, at which math specialists in the district made an hourlong presentation on a K-12 mathematics improvement program, feedback was sought from Colleen DiPirro, president and chief executive officer of the Amherst Chamber of Commerce.
DiPirro was invited by school officials to attend the work session.
"I am so impressed by what I heard tonight," DiPirro said after Tuesday night's meeting. She noted that the Chamber only hears about the school districts in Amherst at budget time, so that the business community and industry "think of you only in an economic component rather than the education component and all the quality you add to this community."
The school district more than a year ago embarked on a program that calls for a rigorous course of study for all of its students in the core academic areas, and it has developed a comprehensive intervention system and group study programs aimed at ensuring that struggling students receive extra support. Aspects of the program were outlined at the board work session.
"This is not a teaching program anymore; they're learning math and the concepts of mathematics. There is a solid core body of knowledge that is embedded within the common core," said Superintendent Anthony Day, following the presentation by Assistant Superintendent for Instruction Larry Leaven and math teacher specialist James Bialasik.
"When I listened to the math specialists talk about how they met 18 months ago and started talking in theory about how they could implement these programs and how they started … I think we should start the same way," said DiPirro, in terms of how the school district and business community should proceed in forming a collaboration.
"Maybe, as an organization, we can offer the opportunity for some of our business people … to come in and hear these type of presentations," DiPirro said. "If we made this available to our more than 700 members, I'm sure we could fill this room with representatives for hourlong presentations. I think that will build the networks that we want to build."
She also recommended establishing internships and shadow programs to engage Sweet Home students in the day-to-day operations of local business and industry.

Steve Lewis/Durango Herald
There�s nothing like peaking at the right time.
And the Fort Lewis College women�s basketball team has to be feeling pretty good about itself.
A superb defensive effort and an improved offensive burst after halftime boosted the Skyhawks to a key 64-48 win over Metro State on Friday at Whalen Gymnasium.
That�s three home wins in a row over teams ahead of them in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference after last weekend�s wins over CSU-Pueblo and UC-Colorado Springs. With the win Friday, FLC leapfrogged CSU-Pueblo into fourth place in the conference, one game behind Metro State and UCCS. If they can hold it, the Skyhawks would open the RMAC Shootout at home.
Defensively on Friday, the Skyhawks (15-8, 14-5 RMAC) were as strong as they�ve been all season, holding the Roadrunners to jumper after jumper.
As a result, Metro State (17-7, 15-4 RMAC) hit just 15.6 percent from the field after intermission as the Skyhawks shot 40 percent and hit 85 percent from the free throw line to turn a 28-24 halftime lead into a runaway late.
�I thought that we could match up with them and do some things defensively. I was confident that we�d be able to defend them,� Flores said.
Key to the process was an 11-2 run midway through the second half that saw FLC turn a 35-33 advantage into a 46-35 lead, and the Roadrunners would get no closer than seven the rest of the way, that coming when they trimmed the lead to 52-45 with 3 minutes, 31 seconds to play.
The offensive output for FLC was 10 more points than the typically stingy Roadrunners allow on average, while FLC held them to 15 fewer points than in the teams� last matchup, a 63-60 victory for Metro State in Denver.
FLC had five players in double figures, led by Katerina Garcia�s 15. Garcia left the game with what Flores termed a bad cramp in her leg in the final seconds.
Ashley Kuchar, who struggled a bit shooting the ball in a 2-for-9 performance, nevertheless scored 12 points; she was a perfect 8 of 8 from the free throw line thanks to a more determined effort to get to the basket.
�It was more of a �shooting doesn�t seem to be working for me, so maybe I should try something else (thing),�� Kuchar said. �Free throws, I have a pretty good percentage at free throws, so I figured I should probably start getting to the free throw line.�
Christie Groh also benefitted from the foul line; she worked well inside to score 12 points, six on free throws. And she played solid post defense, holding Amy Nelson to two second-half points.
�I was trying to be aggressive inside and take it to the hole,� Groh said. �Fortunately I was on on my free throws (Friday), so that was helpful.�
Alex Easterbrook scored 12 points and had eight rebounds, while Erika Richards scored eight and pulled in 11 boards to lead FLC.
The Skyhawks also outrebounded Metro State 48-44.
Metro State, which shot 31 percent in the first half and 23 percent overall, was led by 11 points from Emily Wood, and Kristin Valencia had a double-double with 10 points and 14 rebounds.
Neither team turned the ball over much, with FLC committing eight miscues to nine for Metro State. Neither team shot it well before halftime, either, with FLC at a 30-percent clip.
�We�ve just got to keep defending, rebounding, and if we start hitting shots, then it�s just one of those games where we were going to be able to break it open,� Flores said.
The Skyhawks will celebrate Senior Night for Easterbrook and Garcia � the Durango High School alumna � when they take on Regis (10-13, 9-10 RMAC) at 5:30 p.m. today at Whalen Gymnasium.

Whether it becomes a breakthrough best seller or gets relegated to the cut-price table, a debut novel is a special occasion. This week our staff members are reading books by writers who have boldly taken their first foray into fiction.
Share your thoughts on their choices – and let us know what you're reading.
Her Pick: I Am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes
My coworker and I came up with a summer book list. I'd just finished Khaled Hosseini's A Thousand Splendid Suns, set in Afghanistan, so I wanted to read I Am Pilgrim, also set in the Middle East. Partly narrated by an ex-underworld spy – who seems to have more aliases than Lady Gaga has costumes – it's an intriguing, multi-perspective thriller. I am really enjoying the complex plot as it weaves through colorful landscapes both abroad and in New York. It's a bit graphic at times, but the characters are likable and the story's made me almost miss my subway stop.
Erica Tabacoff, Digital Account Manager
Her Pick: The Lullaby of Polish Girls by Dagmara Dominczyk
I'm reading The Lullaby of Polish Girls for my book club and love it. The novel flips back and forth between present day and the past childhood summers of three friends growing up in Poland in the 1980s. You learn what keeps them together and drives them apart in a decades long coming-of-age story. I've enjoyed Dominczyk's writing style but wish she'd have given an even deeper look into each of the characters. If you ask me, it needs a touch of The Goldfinch's detail.
His Pick: The Sleepwalker's Guide to Dancing by Mira Jacob
Brooklyn-by-way-of-New-Mexico author Mira Jacob's name has been popping up all over my various social media feeds, and with good reason. The Sleepwalker's Guide to Dancing is a multigenerational, nonlinear tale of a family of Indian immigrants "making a life in a stolen country" (as Jacob writes in the author's note). But beyond that, its richly drawn characters and breathless pacing support what seems to be an endless supply of gently heartbreaking moments. This is a book for any and everyone.

For a while Ashley Ridge couldn't catch a break against Beaufort on Thursday, but fortunes changed late in the game.
Among the first-half mishaps for the Swamp Foxes (4-5, 2-1 in Region 8-AAAA) were a pair of red-zone fumbles, including one into the end zone, and a touchdown pass negated on a holding penalty. The Eagles (6-3, 1-2) used the miscues to their advantage and opened the third quarter with a scoring drive to take a 21-7 lead.
However, Beaufort had some second-half blunders and Ashley Ridge created some luck of its own as the Swamp Foxes rallied to earn a 25-21 victory.
"All year we've blown opportunities to go up in the first half, lost momentum and never really recovered from it," Ashley Ridge coach Kenny Walker said. "Tonight we were able to do it. We responded well to adversity and I hope our kids learn from it. Beaufort is a good football team. We beat a tough, physical team so this is a good sign for our program."
Special teams were big for Ashley Ridge.
Senior Donavan Thompson had a 67-yard kickoff return that set up a Swamp Fox TD and a 77-yard punt return into the end zone to give Ashley Ridge a 22-21 lead with Matt Gable's PAT kick.
"When I caught the punt I saw a big gap so I took the crease," Thompson said. "It wasn't just me, my team provided good blocking all the way to the end zone."
On the ensuing kickoff return, Ashley Ridge forced a fumble that Swamp Fox junior Woodrow Jones recovered.
Beaufort thought it had dodged a bullet after a pair of AR penalties and a fourth-down incompletion, but a roughing the quarterback penalty kept the drive alive and Gable kicked a 32-yard field goal for the 25-21 Swamp Fox lead with just under five minutes remaining.
Beaufort didn't lose hope. The Eagles drove 52-yards to the Ashley Ridge 11 in the closing minutes.
Jared Campagnone and Damon Smalls each put Beaufort in a jam with a tackle in the backfield, but the Eagles kept the drive going and completed some big passes to tight end Stephen Baggett and receiver Keaton Butler.
In the final minute, Beaufort took two shots at the end zone but defensive back Kendall Felder and linebacker Brandon Brown both batted passes down to end the drive.
"I was dropping back and I saw their tight end come behind me so I knew I had to make a play," Brown said of his fourth-down breakup that returned possession to Ashley Ridge. "That guy is physical so we didn't need him to get the ball."
Ashley Ridge opened the game with a 65-yard scoring drive capped by a 25-yard TD run by Sean White. The Swamp Foxes held Beaufort to a failed field goal attempt on the Eagles' first drive, but then things started to go awry for the Foxes.
Ashley Ridge drove into the red zone but then lost a fumble. Beaufort mounted a drive and capped it with a 16-yard TD run by Eric Blakely. The PAT kick failed to leave AR with a one-point lead.
However, the Eagles forced a punt and drove 75 yards to score on another Blakely run.
Ashley Ridge regained some momentum with a long drive of its own that resulted in a first down at the Beaufort 15-yard line with 37 seconds remaining in the half. A busted pass play sent quarterback Chandler Avenel scrambling and he broke a pair of tackles on a dash inside the 5.
He was met by a pair of defenders at the goal line and as he stretched out in an attempt to put the ball across the plane it slipped out of his hand and into the end zone. The fumble resulted in a touchback so the Eagles took over and one play later carried a 14-7 lead into the half.
After Blakely scored his third TD of the evening early in the third quarter, things began to turn around for Ashley Ridge.
Thompson returned the ensuing kick off to the Beaufort 32 and after taking a loss on a bobbled snap the Swamp Foxes scored with a 39-yard pass to Matt Linton. On the conversion play, AR lined up for a field goal but faked it. Avenel was the holder on the play but instead of placing it for the kick he rolled out and connected with Thompson for a two-point pass to cut the lead to 6.
Beaufort drove 69 yards on its next drive but then Blakely fumbled the ball into the end zone for another touchback. The rest of the third quarter belonged to the defenses and the fourth quarter belonged to the Swamp Foxes.
Both Avenel and Beaufort QB Ben Vaigneur threw for approximately 150 yards. AR wide out Dashaun Santiago and Linton both had 50 receiving yards. Ashley Ridge running back Tyler Garland and Blakely both rushed for more than 100 yards.
Ashley Ridge 7 0 8 10–25
Beaufort 0 14 7 0–21
A – Sean White 25 run (Matt Gable kick)
B – Eric Blakely 16 run (kick failed)
B – Blakely 15 run (Ben Vaigneur pass to Jeffrey Tookes)
B – Blakely 42 run (kick)
A – Matt Linton 39 pass from Chandler Avenel (Avenel pass to Donavan Thompson)
A – Thompson 77 punt return (Gable kick)

COLUMBIANA - This one hurt.
Suffering game-ending injuries to quarterback Nate Huk and all-around star Britton Steiginga, Columbiana found a way to get past Southern 26-14 in a key Inter-Tri County League lower tier game on Friday at Firestone Park.
Columbiana (5-1, 3-0 ITCL Tier 2) got 126 yards rushing, three touchdowns, an interception and fumble recovery from Steiginga before his exit with 8:20 left in the game.
Columbiana coach Bob Spaite said it was either a sprain or break on his left ankle.
"He's such a tough guy and has never been hurt before," Spaite said. "I just talked to the doctor and at least initially it doesn't look like a break. I think as dramatic as it happened it just scared him. We won't know until we get him to the ortho."
Huk had recently just returned from a knee injury suffered earlier in the year and hurt the same knee following a 27-yard touchdown run with 7:43 left in the second quarter. Spaite said it appeared likely that it was incurred during a post-touchdown celebration. He did not return after that play.
"We said at the beginning of the year there were three guys we couldn't lose," Spaite said. "That's Huk, Steiginga and Hacker. They're all really banged up right now."
Hacker, who had a one-handed interception in the first quarter, had suffered an injury last week against Sebring after he stepped wrong in a "gopher hole" according to Spaite.
His touches were limited against the Indians as the Clippers used a platoon system to try to replace him on offense.
Southern (4-2, 2-1) was bit by a serious injury of its own when immediately following Steiginga's departure, junior lineman Howie Bott hurt a knee and had to be taken off the field on a stretcher. He was transported to the hospital by ambulance.
"He twisted his knee pretty good," Southern coach Mike Skrinjar said. "He's one of the toughest kids on the team and he tried to get up and the knee was buckling. It was limp. That was tough to see."
The Indians made a game of it and trailed 20-14 at the half after Jared Shilot made a stunning catch on his back in the end zone with 12 seconds left. Shilot fought off Garrett Patrick, who was called for pass interference, to pull in the score.
Plagued by three interceptions and two fumbles, the Indians did not use that momentum to their advantage. An interception by Conner Richardson with about nine minutes left in the third quarter put a damper on things the rest of the night. Steiginga scored his final touchdown off that pick to make it 26-14.
Richardson, a senior linebacker, jumped a short route and took Luke Griffith's pass back to the Indian 8.
"I was just in the heat of the moment there," Richardson said. "I can't describe it. I'm just thankful for the 10 other guys out there helping me and Britton scoring on the next play."
Richardson was mum though when asked if he thought he had a chance to race about 45 yards into the end zone.
"I'm not going to say," Richardson said.
Southern was looking for a significant win that would push them into a favorable position in the ITCL lower tier race. That will have to wait for another time yet again.
"That's football," Skrinjar said. "Somebody has to win and somebody has to lose. Both teams played extremely well. A couple things put us in a bind here and there. We were playing catch up. It was a battle, but we showed we had backbone."
Luke Griffith, coming off a stellar performance against McDonald, was 22 of 40 for 229 yards to lead the Indians. Griffith also had a 1-yard touchdown in the first quarter to put the Indians up 7-6. J.J. Napierkowski caught 13 passes for 171 yards and Shilot added seven catches for 52 yards.
Even though the Clippers are in a good spot in the ITCL lower tier, it will get extremely tough if injuries aren't healed quickly. The Clippers have Leetonia at home next Friday.
"It will be a grind next week," Richardson said. "Leetonia always plays us tough. That's a big rivalry."
"They'll play us like they're defending the wives and children against the Barbarians," Spaite said. "They play us with such passion it's crazy."
Southern hosts rival Wellsville on Friday.
Game notes
The 50/50 prize was $220.
Cassidy Stoddard was named homecoming queen, while Hayden Sneltzer was named homecoming king before the game.
Columbiana came out on the field 20 minutes before the scheduled 7 p.m. start. The game kicked off at 6:52 p.m.

A crossbreed between a douchebag and a hipster. A bagster would like the Nickleback, like a douchebag would, and Steve Aoki, like a hipster would. They would also like Kanye West, like both a douchebag and a hipster would. It's okay if you say bagster and someone thinks you said bastard. They're usually interchangeable.
That guy is totally a bagster. He looks just like he got back from a Kanye West concert.

There are no winner or losers in a divorce trial because there are parties who ruin the lives of many people in a go and I think that is really cruel because the people had done nothing to deserve this kind of problems and I think there shouldn't be anything like it in the future and I think the marriage should be made sturdier by making people care for the people around there and I think that should be banned from the world and the people who cannot live together will have all the obligations to be there for the kid and that is the most real thing to me because I don't want any kind of facade among the parties who are going to be so devastated by it because there are nothing left for them to grab to and I think that we should stop making such fuss around it because there is no way you are going to make sure that the parties in there are not getting hurt and you can be sure that they are getting hurt more than they should and they are willingly volunteering for this problem and that is no way of living.
Divorce is not a thing that is really getting to be the one thing that is really ruining the lives of people and I think the divorce can be remanded and made into something that is not that much disheartening to the people the way it is now and I think there are many ways you can really get the effect on your life because there are no way you are going to make the best of the ideas that are there and I think that you should really make sure that you are going to make the best of decision here and I think there is no way you are going to go about it and I think that should be the way. There have been so many things that I have seen in this debacle that it made my eyes melt as I thought of it because there are too many casualties in both parts and I think you should really gather the strengths and then go about it and that would really be something on your part because you will have some way to know the things that are there and I think you should make it up to her or him if you are guilty there. Learn more about this guiltiness at the dating advice specialist.
When a divorce happens there are no one that is happy about it and I think for that reason and that is a reason enough for you to be something extraordinary and that is really getting the best of you and for that one reason only you should make a healthy decision as to keep away from it because you are not in any way getting any better at it and you should really get the heck out of the way you are dealing with it because you are going to have to go through the all encumbering bad way of the life where there is darkness and I think there is no light at the end of the tunnel and your vision has to improve to make the real change in the society because American and most of the west in suffering from it and in third world countries there is no system of divorce and the divorce is better in that region because there are more problems that are arising every day because they are together and I think there should be something called the idea of getting by and that doesn't work in those places. I think that is for the betters.

The 32-year-old Captain America star, while under contract for at least three more appearances between Captain America and Avengers sequels, told Variety recently he has no plans to continue acting after his obligation to the character ends.
"If I'm acting at all, it's going to be under Marvel contract, or I'm going to be directing," Evans said. "I can't see myself pursuing acting strictly outside of what I'm contractually obligated to do."
"I've known for a while I wanted to direct," Evans, who recently completed his debut feature, a love story called 1:30 Train, said. "But [time] never really opens up. There's another movie to do, there's another acting job. It just got to point where I was like, you know what – I have to do this."
Evans admits he may change his mind: "For all I know, in five years, I might say, 'S–––, I miss acting.'" But he repeats, "Right now, I just want to get behind the camera and make movies."

Very happy to see the Spec# release. Looking forward to giving it a run around this weekend.
I've often wondered how Microsoft measures the return on investment when it comes to things like Channel 9. Should the pointy nosed bean counters ever start pounding on Charles' and the rest of the 9er crew's doors demanding a blood sacrifice then I will happily get on a plane, come to the 'States and explain to them - with diagrams - why Channel 9 rocks and from my perspective represents the best outreach / programming community initiative I've experienced from Microsoft in 15 years of programming on Windows.
Hi Dan,
Thank you for helping out. I am using VS Express 2008. I added the SmartThread dll (v 1.0) and since I don't have (or want) an iTune library, I commented out its references. InnerTube seems to compile fine. I can launch it and it looks I can add feeds as needed, but when I click on refresh feeds the apps stops working (I get the Windows message "InnerTube has stopped working") and it exits. I could probably try debugging it, but my debugging skills are very basics.
Edit: i tried debugging and the code stops on file InnerTubeService.cs at line 202:
XmlTextReader xr = new XmlTextReader(wc.OpenRead(youTubeUrl));
The debugger says:
System.Net.WebException was unhandled by user code

Thanks giovanni, this is very helpful, it looks like the URL for the feeds that are added aren't XML files, hence the bad request. I suspect it's a bug where, if your using a username to add a feed, YouTube needs to encode that username in a particular way
to display it correctly.
To help understand the issue, can you copy and paste your InnerTube.xml file which you can find at $username$\Videos\InnerTube\InnerTube.xml (on XP at Documents and Settings\$username$\Videos\InnerTube\InnerTube.xml) . The InnerTube.xml file will have the URLs that the code above is tryign to call and we can figure out why one of them is bad.
As you can see, I've changed the "vq=" to "?q=" which is a well-formatted XML result.
Apologies for that, but thanks for finding the bug! Let me know if you can't get it to work

On May 6, a banner will be hung on Wende Hall recognizing National Nurse's Week, which runs from May 6 through to May 12, Florence Nightingale's birthday.
This year, the School of Nursing is pulling out all the stops to give nurses the attention they deserve during the week that has been devoted to them. In addition to the banner, the nursing school is holding its Undergraduate Nursing Information Session on May 8 and later in the month the Annual May Celebration — a way for alumni to network with fellow alumni, and for students, friends of the school, faculty and staff to celebrate all the school has to offer.
Marsha Lewis, dean of the nursing school, is pleased to be sharing this week with the UB community.
"National Nurse's Week is a time to reflect on all the important contributions nurses make in their all-encompassing roles as trusted health care providers, patient advocates, influential leaders, dedicated educators and expert researchers," says Lewis. "Celebrating these accomplishments university-wide allows us the opportunity to educate the public on the impact nurses have on the very fabric of health care in our community."
In honor of National Nurses Week, the UB Reporter asked members of the UB community to tell a story about how a nurse or nursing care has affected their lives.
I was working as a clinical case manager in Brooklyn in an in-patient psychiatric unit. The patients in this particular unit struggled with severe and persistent mental illness, combined with associated social issues: They had a strong propensity for violence. The nurses' station on the unit was designed in an accessible, open semi-circle. It was not unusual for patients to climb over the desk, pick up monitors and smash them on the floor during an episode of anger.
One day when I was on the unit, a patient began approaching me quickly, with his hand raised in a way that signaled he was going to strike me. Only one thing interrupted the moment: the voice of the head nurse. She caught his attention by talking to him in a calm, direct, no-nonsense way. She didn't have to yell. She had established herself as a person the patients respected and who wouldn't stand for this kind of threat. She often joked with the patients, but on this day she was unmistakably serious.
And he just stopped.
I learned from that day on that the first person to align yourself with on any unit was the nurse because nurses know the patients better than anyone. I also learned to approach them with respect because they deserve it.
Elizabeth Hole, MSW graduate student, '14, School of Social Work
On a beautiful sunny Mother's Day many years ago, I had a farm accident that severed my left Achilles tendon. Although young, I knew it was serious by the grim and concerned look on my parents' faces as they arrived on the scene. After a longish drive to the hospital emergency room — or so it seemed — I was greeted by nurses and doctors alike, who reassured me that all would be well. Surgery commenced soon thereafter by Dr. Long, the community's first orthopedic surgeon, who had arrived just that week from the University of Virginia.
The loving care I received in the hospital from the nursing staff almost made the injury seem worth it. In particular, Mrs. Cullen, the head pediatric floor nurse and the mother of one of my best friends, took special care of me and made sure not only that my injury was monitored appropriately, but most importantly, made sure I had all the ice cream I could eat, a situation that would never have occurred at home. My memories and deep appreciation of Mrs. Cullen's loving care are still fresh even with the passage of more than 50 years.

I was 50 years old and came down with acute appendicitis. What pain; I couldn't even stand. I just wanted someone to get it out of me. I went to the emergency room and the first person to come to my bedside was the nurse who was assigned to me.
She looked down at me with a droll expression and said, "Really, appendicitis at 50? Nobody gets appendicitis at 50."
I looked at her face and there was just a hint of a smile and despite the pain, I started laughing. I thought, this one's a keeper; what a sense of humor. It was like she "got" me right off the bat and knew instinctively what to say to get my mind off the pain.
You've got to understand, that isn't an easy place to work. It can be a very serious place. Those nurses were busy with people much sicker than me. But here she was, taking the time to bring her A-game to me, to not only make sure my health was taken care of, but also knowing that the way to make me feel better was to get me to laugh.
Jeff Quinn, head football coach, Division of Athletics
My mother had acute diverticulitis that resulted in an intestinal perforation. When that happened, the doctor performed an intestinal resection with a temporary colostomy, with the understanding that she would have surgery to repair the resection at a later date. At that time, the anesthesia caused her blood pressure to go up but it was brought down with medication.
Months later when she went into the hospital to have the "reattachment" surgery — removing the colostomy and reattaching the two ends of the intestine — she had the same problem with anesthesia: Her blood pressure skyrocketed to 230/130 (normal is 120/80), which the doctors told us could cause a stroke if they didn't get it down.
But this time, even though she was in ICU and getting the best possible care, the medication to bring down her blood pressure wasn't working. No one could figure out what the problem was and we thought we might lose her.
Then one of the ICU nurses took it upon herself to recalculate the dose of antihypertensive medication and discovered that what had been ordered was only half of what my mother should be taking. As soon as the dose was readjusted according to this nurse's calculations, her blood pressure came down.
That nurse saved my mother's life.
Sometimes when I'm working in Wende Hall — where the student nurses are — I overhear them complaining about their "med calc" course. What I want to say to them is: "Pay attention in that class because that information could save someone's life one day."

My father was a strong man: He contracted cancer twice and beat it. But in the end, prostate cancer got him.
During the last year of his life, when he had come home, we were faced with the challenge of a man who was losing his appetite and having pain, but who refused to take the medication necessary to help him deal with that. And though he was in a weakened condition, his stubborn will was intact; he wasn't going to budge.
At about this time, a nurse started coming to the house to give Dad home care, to make sure he was taking his meds and to be emotional support for the family.
Right away he told her he wasn't going to take medications and really didn't want to discuss it. Instead of "forcing" him to take the medications, she decided to use psychology. My Dad was the most loyal Yankees fan and loved watching their games and talking baseball. My Dad's nurse, who knew nothing about baseball, decided to start talking to him about the Yankees. It got so that in the evening when the games were on, she would call Dad and the two of them would watch the game together over the phone.
Through this connection that his nurse fostered, they became friends and he began to trust her. One day she said to him very casually and in a non-threatening way, "I have some medications that I think will help you feel better."
He said, "OK. Don't tell me what they are. Just give them to me and I'll take them." She also introduced him to N/A beer so he could savor that flavor while he watched his game.
Not only did she take the time to build trust, she knew exactly when to approach him about the medications. And I believe it added a year to his life, and it was quality life.
My Dad was a "manly man," making it hard for him to have a woman take care of him. But he let his nurse see his softer side; he really had faith in her.
When my father passed, she helped facilitate the coroner coming quickly to the house, she came to the funeral service and even stopped by from time to time to see if the family was doing alright.
Because of her, my father never lost his dignity in front of his family. If I saw her today, I would tell her how much she meant to our family.

In 2010, my 14-year-old son was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.
As soon as he was diagnosed, his pediatrician admitted him to Women and Children's Hospital to get his blood sugar under control and to educate him about diet and medication. After a few days he was discharged and then the real challenges began. For a teenager, walking the fine line of being like your friends while calculating short-acting insulin for every meal to complement the long acting insulin you take every day, can be tough. And that doesn't begin to address the fact that you're now giving yourself injections a number of times a day.
As part of his treatment, he had to go to Children's Endocrinology/Diabetes Clinic every three months. The nurses in that clinic made all the difference in helping my son live with diabetes.
These weren't sappy-sweet people who told him exactly what he wanted to hear. They were honest, straight-forward and talked to him in way that he listened. As a parent, I could talk until I was blue in the face about his illness. But because of the way they approached him, and because of the depth of their knowledge and experience, he had to take their advice.
They would listen to his concerns, they would provide solutions and they were kind to him. But they also expected him to take responsibility.
He is getting ready to go away to college this fall. But because of the excellent nursing care he has gotten from the Endocrinology Clinic, I told him the other day that this is no longer the family's disease. It's his disease now. I know that he has everything he needs to handle diabetes. Because of those nurses, I can trust in him.
And that's an amazing gift to give to a mother.
Karen K. Chopra, director, Prospect Research and Development, Office of Development
From the very get-go in my residency — when I walked into the neonatal intensive care unit that first night — I was terrified. During the day, there would be other physicians available to instruct and guide me as I learned. But at night, I was alone with very sick babies and so much of what I knew when I first became a physician was from textbooks and lectures.
The first time I saw a really sick infant turn blue, I thought, "Oh my goodness … I am all alone."
And that's when I discovered how knowledgeable, experienced and generous nurses are. When babies would take a turn for the worse, requiring my intervention, the nurses, who may have seen this condition 100 times, would say to me, "Doctor, when this happens, this is what we do." And they would help steer me through the protocols and procedures necessary.
These nurses were consummate professionals who knew what they were doing. I guess I could have taken the stance that I was the doctor and in charge, but I was just learning and needed their support.
Early on, I recognized their expertise, wisdom and the contribution they make to the health care team.
Nurses often spend more time with patients than doctors — getting to know them and their families. Whenever I come to the clinical unit — before I speak with my patients and their families — I talk to the nurse who is responsible for their care. There are things patients will confide to nurses that they would never say to the doctor.
I just can't stress enough the impact nurses have on positive patient outcomes. I know if a patient had to depend on me for their nursing care, there would be a big problem.
Martin L. Brecher, associate professor, UB Department of Pediatrics; chair, Pediatrics, Roswell Park Cancer Institute; and chief, Division of Hematology/Oncology, Women and Children's Hospital
Reading all of these stories affirms why I am so proud of my profession. Dr. Brecher's recollection was especially meaningful.
I was one of the nurses on staff in the ICN "back then." I remember those shared times. We knew how important teamwork was, especially when we worked alongside the new residents. Guess we always felt the best doctors were the ones who recognized the value nurses brought to the team.
Thanks Dr. Brecher. You are one of those!

I am about to celebrate my 25th reunion from my undergraduate nursing program. I am also a graduate from UB's Nurse Anesthesia Program.
One of the hardest things for a nurse to be is a patient, and even harder is the parent of a patient. My last baby spent 96 days in the NICU at Children's Hospital after an urgent C-section at Mercy Hospital. Two nurses in particular stand out in my mind.
When the baby was transferred and I was not going to be going with the baby, my nurse looked me right in the eyes and told me, "I will make sure you go with your baby" and she did, even though I know she felt she was overstepping her bounds. She continued to advocate for me.
The other nurse was a pediatric NP in the ICU. It was just one of those very frustrating days and she asked me what was wrong. I asked if she had three hours. "No, but I have half an hour," she replied and she pulled up a chair and just listened -- one of the most helpful interventions a nurse can make.
Patient advocacy and empathy are paramount to the profession and the reason nurses command the love and respect of so many.
Eirene Choroser
I have been a nurse for many years. During those years I have always been amazed by the difference fellow nurses make in the lives of their patients. The above article is a beautiful reflection of that "difference."
Years ago I was an administrator at a local hospital. I received a letter from a mother who had recently seen her son die. Even at this, her darkest hour, the mother felt she and her son had been blessed. The "blessing" was the care given to her son by his nurses. This mother said she had no idea how to thank those nurses. So she prayed that those nurses, in their time of pain, fear and need, would also receive the blessing of gentle, talented and dedicated nurses.
I myself have benefited from that blessing in my life. I pray we will all be able to receive that blessing.
Linda Scharf, RN
How inspiring and affirming to read the stories shared from those whose lives have been touched by a nurse. All of us nurses believe we make a difference in some small way through the work we do, but it is certainly reassuring to be reminded from time to time how significant and integral nurses are in the health and wellness of our state and nation.
Kudos to Marsha Lewis and UB for celebrating Nurse's Week in a way that is enlightening and truly honoring the dedication and compassion of the profession.
Deborah Elliott, RN, executive director, Center for Nursing, Foundation of NYS Nurses and Nurses' House Inc.
Although I am away from UB, I enjoy reading online news. Yes, I second the kudos to Marsha Lewis and UB for this collection of nursing stories.
I, too, have been blessed by the care of nurses. Donna Leiser, above, cared for me the night my daughter was born. Last year that daughter had a baby and I shared the story about Donna with her.
Thank you Donna!
Pat McCartney, RN, emeritus faculty, UB School of Nursing

Firefighters put out early-morning blaze
Fire crews extinguished an early-morning brush fire Friday off North Holokai Road in Haiku that burned 1.5 acres and threatened homes in the area, a fire official said.
Paia and Makawao firefighters, as well as a Kahului tanker, responded to the 3:29 a.m. alarm, finding flames as high as 40 feet, said Fire Services Chief Lee Mainaga.
"Firefighters worked quickly to protect the homes and stop the fire's advance," he said.
By 4 a.m., the fire had been contained, and crews were mopping up hot spots. The fire was extinguished at 4:43 a.m.
No property was damaged, and no injuries were reported, Mainaga said.
The cause of the fire remained under investigation.
Offices set to close for New Year's Day
Federal, state and county offices will be closed Tuesday in observance of the New Year's Day holiday.
All county pools and state public libraries will not be open.
On Monday, all libraries that are normally open Mondays after 5 p.m. will close at 5 p.m.
The county's e-cycling program in Wailuku will not be in operation for the holiday.
The Olowalu, Hana, Lanai and Molokai landfills will be closed. The Central Maui Landfill and EKO Compost will be open from 6 a.m. to noon.
Lanai's county residential trash collection will be done Thursday instead of Tuesday. All other residential trash pick-up routes will not be affected.
The Maui News business offices will be closed. Newspapers will be delivered as usual.

High-surf warning extended for islands
The National Weather Service posted a high-surf warning for the north-facing shores of Maui and Molokai from noon today to 6 p.m. Monday.
The notice warns beachgoers of battering waves that bring dangerous shoreline and swimming conditions, including rip currents. The surf is expected to peak during a 2.2-foot high tide Sunday morning, which could result in some coastal flooding in low-lying areas.
Surf was expected to build rapidly to 18 to 22 feet by this evening, then to 25 to 35 feet Sunday. West-facing shores can expect surf of 14 to 18 feet by this evening, then 20 to 25 feet Sunday.
For more information, call (866) 944-5025 or go online to www.prh.noaa.gov/hnl.
Road closes after park wall collapses
A portion of a retaining wall at Maui Memorial Park collapsed Friday afternoon, prompting police to close Waiinu Road from Waiale Road to Maui Lani Parkway in Wailuku.
Approximately 50 feet of the wall fell down shortly before 5 p.m., said Maui police spokesman Lt. Wayne Ibarra.
There were no immediate reports of injuries, he said. The extent of damage was unclear.
Ibarra said county officials were notified, and cemetery officials were on the scene.
Attempts to contact cemetery officials for comment were unsuccessful.

|Brief Summary
|A prospective, randomized multicenter study of subjects with a high-risk of having a myocardial infarction (MI) due to acute coronary syndrome or bypass surgery.
|Detailed Description
There are over one million acute myocardial infarctions (AMI) each year in the United States with more than 400,000 of these resulting in death. Early identification of AMI, and prompt treatment has been shown to significantly improve clinical outcomes. Experimental and clinical studies have shown that most of the irreversible damage to the myocardium occurs during the first two hours after coronary occlusion. Milavetz et al. demonstrated that successful reperfusion therapy within two hours was associated with the greatest degree of myocardial salvage. According to Boersma, et al., restoration of flow, regardless of the method used, can abort infarction within the first 30 minutes after coronary occlusion, and the benefit of fibrinolytic therapy compared with placebo is considerably higher in patients treated within 2 hours after symptom onset than in those treated later.2 Further, evidence exists that expeditious restoration of flow in the obstructed infarct artery after the onset of symptoms in patients with the most severe type of MI, ST elevation MI (STEMI) is a key determinant of short and long-term outcomes regardless of whether reperfusion is accomplished by fibrinolysis or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). , , Therefore, the early arrival at the hospital for a reliable diagnosis and initiation of treatment is paramount to improve the outcomes of myocardial infarction. However, despite efforts at educating the public over the past decade, the mean time from AMI symptom onset to arrival at a hospital for treatment has remained, disappointingly, at 2.5-3.0 hours.1,4,7
The largest proportion of the total pre-hospital delay is the interval between the onset of symptoms and the decision to seek medical treatment. Finnegan et al. described that the reasons for delay in seeking medical evaluation generally stem from patient misconceptions about symptom experience, expectations, and attribution. In many cases, patients expect the type of heart attack that they often see in movies or on television: the kind of crushing chest pain that drops a person to the ground. The reality is that many heart attacks are much "quieter," causing only mild chest pain or discomfort or other symptoms such as shortness of breath or diaphoresis.
If patients would take action during the first hour following symptom onset, many lives and significant cost could be saved. It is technically possible to monitor EKGs and detect an acute infarction, even if the patient is unaware that he or she is experiencing a heart attack. However, currently available systems have limitations in the home environment. Twelve lead EKG systems require a clinically trained individual to place them. Holter monitors suffer from limitations in the ability to detect ST deviation due to low compliance and are limited in practice to 24 to 72 hours of monitoring. Systems using surface leads are all subject to noise and other artifacts from patient movement and body orientation, particularly if the patient is ambulatory.
A potentially ideal solution is to implant a device that measures heart signals from inside the heart and will alert the patient when it detects electrogram characteristics set by the physician as worthy of medical evaluation.

"Rosenberg . . . provides sharp analysis and history. . . . This is an important book. Rosenberg asks all sides for answers, ad braves real physical danger, and retains a healthy incredultiy and sense of humor."
"It is Rosenberg's intelligent eye, her sense of the absurd, her unfailing courage and perseverance, and most important, her empathy and compassion that bring Children of Cain to life and start to lead North American readers down the hard path toward understanding Latin America."

Pope Benedict XVI's resignation last Monday, effective at month's end, was a shock to Roman Catholics here as well as worldwide.
Even Vatican insiders had no inkling of Benedict's intentions as spokesman Rev. Federico Lombardi said Monday that "the pope took us by surprise."
A few area people attending St. Boniface Catholic Church's Ash Wednesday fish dinner said they did not think Pope Benedict resigning is a good idea.

Most, though, thought that the Pope's decision was appropriate if he's not feeling up to the demands of the job.
"If he recognized he was having a problem, it was the best thing that could happen if he can't do this job anymore," Sue Lings said. "Especially when you hear that he might have people advising him who maybe should not be advising him."
"It's a great idea," said Barb Coolidge. "I commend him for having his faculties that he knew it was time."
Many people cited Benedict's age and health issues as valid reasons to retire.
"He had a pacemaker put in even before he was made pope, and now he's 85," said Vivian Winters. "My father couldn't do anything with his heart condition once he had a pacemaker."
"He's a few years older than me, and I couldn't travel to Cuba and all of those countries," said one woman who did not give her name.
"He was too old when they elected him," said Pauline March. "If he feels he can't do the work, put somebody else in there who can."
Several people said that they hope Benedict has set a precedent for future popes.
"It's wonderful that he has a choice - it seems modern," said another woman who declined to be named.
"It's probably a good thing so they can think about it before they get so ill," Pat Chesnut said. "Maybe he can enjoy the last few years of his life."
Area priests echoed the belief that Benedict made a prudent decision.
"There is an expectation that popes shouldn't resign," said the Rev. Glenn McCreary, of the Church of the Resurrection in Muncy. "John Paul II certainly held onto the office even when he was very, very ill ... I imagine he seemed to want to say something about the dignity, the worth of human life, even when it was weak. On the other hand, what Benedict is doing is balancing that important statement with the very real needs of the church day to day."
"I give him credit for knowing when it's time to fold the cards," said the Rev. John Manno, of Our Lady of Lourdes in Montoursville. "The human is limited - we're a channel of God's love and peace, and as a channel we are finite, but we are frail."
Since Benedict plans to retire to a Vatican monastery and is unlikely to write more books, it is doubtful he will interfere in the affairs of his successor.
"If he was still going to stay around and be active in other ways, that I think would be more problematic," said the Rev. Bert Kozen, of Immaculate Conception and St. Luke's churches. "In essence, he's just going to retire to private living."
Few expect that the next pope will be American.
"I think he will be Asian or African or from Latin America," Coolidge said. "That's where the church is going."
"I think that there are Americans who have the gifts and the ability to assume that office," Kozen said. "But the American church is still just a small portion of the universal Roman Catholic Church."
"For many centuries we had Italian pope after Italian pope," McCreary said. "That door is a little more open than it ever had been, but I'm not sure that time is yet."
