The old site was crap, as is the new one. When are they going to employ a decent website designer?
I am out of town visiting a family member, and the ISU "home page" shows up only as the site map/links tree.
But at home, I had no problem seeing the full-blown new version of the home page.
In both cases, I have been using the same laptop -- and in both cases, Google Chrome.
So one's choice of browser must not be the issue.
I can see the new website with Windows 7 plus Explorer well, but I really dislike the new design. I hate as pages get more complicated and I cannot find anything...
Thanks DorisPulaski for the help!!!
When I try to go to the forum/ discussion I get a fatal error message. I have the latest Safari browser. Are they working to solve these problems. Quite frankly I was satisfied with the way it was.
So was I satisfied-but perhaps users of smartphones and tablets were not?

The APWA Wisconsin Chapter looks forward to welcoming you to Milwaukee and the North American Snow Conference!
Here is an article about the Snow Conference from the APWA Reporter
Known for decades as one of America's beer-brewing capitals, Milwaukee is likely to conjure up images of brats on the grill, cheese curds, and ice-cold beer. It's certainly that – and so much more! Milwaukee is the birth-place of some of America's most thirst-quenching companies, including Miller, Pabst, and Schlitz, as well as motorcycle manufacturer Harley-Davidson. This legacy, along with a reputation as a humble and friendly Midwestern City, has inspired a revitalization of the city today. With its prime spot on Lake Michigan's shoreline, today's Milwaukee is eco-friendly with a developed RiverWalk complete with pedestrian pathways, public art and restaurants. Milwaukee's bike lanes and bus network runs throughout many unique and charming neighborhoods – like the Historic Third Ward with the bustling Milwaukee Public Market and warehouses converted to condos, trendy boutiques, art galleries, and some of the coolest and best restaurants in town. All of this within walking distance or a short taxi or bus ride from Snow Conference hotels!

By Mark Sommer / News Staff Reporter
The future of the former Millard Fillmore Gates Hospital once again is a question mark, after plans to create a veterinary teaching hospital were pronounced dead Friday.
The breakdown followed year-long negotiations between Chason Affinity Cos., which announced the $65 million veterinary school project in August 2012, and Devry Institute, a private, for-profit educational organization that operates the Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine in the Caribbean.
Kaleida Health, which owns the empty hospital, said a request for proposals will be reissued Wednesday to determine interest in developing the nearly 10-acre site that closed March 2012.
The original process, which included a $1 million award to the winning entry, took eight months before Chason Affinity was selected as designated developer.
"We, as a community, had a wonderful opportunity to bring an exciting project to Buffalo and Western New York. And that was a fully functioning veterinary school," Kaleida's President and CEO James R. Kaskie said in a statement.
"But now we must move on, regroup and start an expedited process to award the development rights to a qualified developer."
A statement from Chason Affinity said the company worked "diligently" to advance its veterinary school proposal and was "disappointed" by Kaleida's decision to end the agreement after Ross backed out. The company said it is working on another project related to the veterinary field and would explore prospects for it elsewhere in Buffalo.
An executive with Uniland Development, the runner-up a year ago, said the company may throw its hat in the ring a second time.
"The first go-around excited us, and we were certainly disappointed when we were not chosen. Since then we have been working on several other projects, so we are going to have to reassess our capacity and willingness to ramp up again and take a go at this," said Carl Montante Jr., Uniland's vice president of strategic initiatives.
Uniland had proposed a six-story apartment building, two-story townhouses, underground parking, boutique hotel and office and retail space.
Two other firms responded to Kaleida's proposal last year, but the eight-member jury that judged the contest deemed only the Chason Affinity and Uniland proposals as viable. Kaleida's board of directors made the final decision.
The site, located on scenic Gates Circle, has significant drawbacks.
Chason Affinity estimated demolition of the existing buildings would cost more than $12 million. The parcels are also considered brownfields, with steep environmental cleanup costs involved.
Retrofitting existing buildings for condominiums or office and retail space also carry a hefty price tag.
Howard Zemsky, co-chairman of the Western New York Regional Economic Development Council, said he remains optimistic that the former hospital will be put to good use.
"I still think the site has a lot of potential," he said.
Zemsky said he was struck by the idea of a veterinary school in Buffalo and regretted that it won't be coming.
"We were excited about the prospect of hundreds of jobs locating to Buffalo from out of the state, and of a veterinary industry in Buffalo. It seemed to have a nice symmetry about it," Zemsky said.
Zemsky said he met several times with Chason Affinity and Ross University officials to re-enforce the importance Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo placed on the project.
"We wanted them to know that if this deal advanced internally and they were really ready to roll up their sleeves and discuss the economics, we would let them know the governor's economic development team would be keenly interested in doing what it could to help make it happen," Zemsky said, noting things never got to that point.
The idea of a new veterinary school was seen as an out-of-the-box choice at the time of its announcement. But there were also concerns within the veterinary community that – with three new veterinary colleges and expansions at several others – a glut of graduates was being created who would face low pay, difficult job prospects and a mountain of debt.
But that plan evolved into a clinical hospital for an already existing university, which sought to consolidate students for clinical experience with small animals onto one campus. Experience with large animals would still have required the students to attend other campuses.
The plan also called for partnering with the SPCA Serving Erie County, which would have opened a small-animal hospital at the former Gates campus. Medaille College's veterinary technology program was additionally expected to take advantage of educational and training opportunities.
Ross University provides an intensive three-year program, with fall, spring and summer sessions. Students pay $250,600 for two years of coursework, one year of clinical study and the three combined years of room, board and related expenses, according to the school's financial aid office, ranking the well-regarded veterinary college among the most expensive.

If you're from Calgary, chances are you wouldn't shut up about 1989 if I started poking fun at your terrible, terrible Flames. You might also be aware of a restaurant/pub called Craft Beer Market, a ginormous beer bar in Cowtown. This very same establishment is opening up a new venue in Vancouver. It's going to be in the historic Salt Building (it's required by law to put "historic" in front of "Salt Building") in Vancouver's up and coming Village on False Creek, ex athlete's village during the Olympics.
Craft Beer Market Vancouver is opening next summer, but for some reason they decided to have an open house this rainy October. For some other reason, they thought inviting Ashleigh Mcivor would help them sell more beer next summer. While I doubt this manoever will pay dividends in the long run, I enjoyed seeing her because she is pretty and was letting people touch her gold medal.
When I tell normal people about the new Craft Beer Market, they think it's cool. When I talk to beer nerds (not tell, beer nerds know all), they universally doubt this new place in town is going to be any good. I'm with the nerds on this one. CBM is hyping their proposed 140 taps and miles of draft lines as a good thing, but I'd take quality over quantity any day. It already takes me twenty minutes to order a beer at the Alibi Room, why would I want to triple my choices? More importantly, a lot of that beer is going to be sitting around for a long time going bad. If my past experience at Taphouse (160 draught beers) in Seattle is any indication, you've got a 50/50 chance of getting a nice stale or oxidized beer.
Another reason I'm not bullish on CBM is that the new Tap and Barrel is right there. Like, right there. Can this new village support two giant pubs, or even become a real village? Maybe these two will be packed during the summer when it's nice out, but Vancouver doesn't exactly have a thriving pub scene in less than optimal conditions. Then there's the fact Tap and Barrel has a bigger patio with a better view. I just don't see what works in Calgary working in an increasingly hipsterized Vancouver, not with such stern competition already in place.
That being said, I'll be praying for Alibi Room 2.0. It is a cool old building and they'll have to have some good beer pouring out of those 140 taps.
So what was the open house like? You got four drink tickets for showing up and leaving your name (you probably could have done this repeatedly). The place was packed because, you know, of the free beer. There was some food (bread and charcuterie) if you were willing to wait in a giant line for it. Local businesses Terra Breads and Legacy Liquor Store had booths, as did Oceanwise, Mission Hill, and Blasted Church. I did not get my face painted, despite feeling like a bad ass lion face could have done me some good. Breweries on hand:
- Central City
- Howe Sound
- Turning Point (Stanley Park brand)
- Dead Frog
- Granville Island
- Parallel 49
- Tree
- Russell
- Whistler
None of them had incredible beer available, except for Central City, champs that they are, who brought a cask of ESB, which of course they ran out of before I got there. So yeah, if I don't forget this place is supposed to exist, I'll totally check it out next summer. Then we'll see what happens, possibly a brawl with Tap and Barrel?

It's rare when the major leaguer is the worst player on the field during a minor league rehab assignment, but that was the case with James McDonald on Monday with the Curve.
McDonald had a disastrous outing, failing to make it out of the first inning against Richmond. He walked the game's first batter on four pitches, walked the second batter, then served up a three-run homer.
About the only thing McDonald did right was pick off a runner at first base. But he also gave up four walks and two hits while retiring only one of the seven batters he faced.
He threw 33 pitches, just 14 strikes, and left Curve manager Carlos Garcia with no choice but to pull him after two/thirds of an inning.
"To me the big thing is health," McDonald, looking for any kind of positive, said afterward. "My shoulder felt decent, so that's the biggest thing for me."
That's fine. Really, stats don't matter much in rehab assignments because the goal for the major leaguer is to get healthy again.
But let's be honest here. When a pitcher who's already become an enormous disappointment in a very short period of time comes down to Double-A and looks as awful as McDonald did Monday, it has to give the Pirates great concern about his future.
At this point, whether McDonald even has much of a future with the Bucs is a legitimate question.
It's incredible to think that this guy was one of the best pitchers in the National League the first half of last season, when he had a 2.37 ERA and 9-3 record at the All-Star break. He collapsed in the second half, posting a 7.52 ERA to lose his spot in the rotation, and this year he was 2-2 with a 5.76 ERA in six starts before feeling shoulder discomfort.
McDonald blamed his poor performance Monday in part on a blister that developed on his right middle finger while warming up in the bullpen before the game.
"That's the thing that sucks," he said. "Finally get back on the mound, ready to compete and hit a little bump in the road with a blood blister."
Blisters can be a big deal for a pitcher, so it's not totally fair to criticize McDonald if indeed he was having problems with one. He kept fidgeting with his finger on occasion when talking to reporters after the game.
Still, the blister sounds like a convenient excuse from a pitcher who has lost his way mentally and is grasping at straws trying to get back to where he was at the beginning of 2012.
McDonald undoubtedly is very talented and has the stuff to pitch effectively in the majors. But the concern with him is whether he's mentally tough enough to overcome when he does struggle and keep one or two bad outings from crushing his confidence.
McDonald failed to prove he has that intangible last year, and until he does, the Pirates will be gambling keeping him in the rotation.
A peculiar scenario played out Monday when Garcia stepped out of the dugout to remove McDonald in the first inning. The pitcher made a little motion with his right hand, as if to suggest to Garcia that he didn't want to come out, and the two appeared to exchange words on the mound for a few seconds.
Garcia did not not look happy, then after they finished talking, McDonald patted the manager on the back, as if to try and smooth over the situation.
"It wasn't like a question," McDonald said. "It was just like, I didn't know how many pitches I had really. And once he told me, I was like, oh yeah. He had no choice. He had to take me out. It was a tough decision, but it's understanding I know what he had to do."
The Pirates have a policy that if any minor league starter throws 30-35 pitches in an inning, he's almost always going to be pulled. That's especially true with a major leaguer on a rehab assignment.
Garcia downplayed the incident after the game, even though it appeared obvious he didn't appreciate the pitcher initially challenging the decision.
"I don't get mad," Garcia said. "I understand the competitor in the guy and the program he wants to follow to be able to continue his progress to go back to Pittsburgh. I understand that. He knows better. You don't do that that way. Regardless, it's an outing that he has to get his work and move on. I don't get mad for that."
McDonald's rotten performance Monday didn't do anything to change the public perception that he is a bust. Much of the Pirates' fan base has been down on the pitcher since his second-half collapse last season, and with the organization having more starting pitching depth now than it has in many years, it's questionable whether McDonald can remain a mainstay in the rotation.
"I really never worry about what the public thinks," McDonald said. "As long as I can go out there that's all that really matters. [Monday's game] doesn't set me back mentally. It's just like I said before - I don't really care what the public really thinks."
What the fans think really doesn't matter, but how the organization views McDonald at this stage in his development should be something he's concerned about.
"No," the pitcher said. "I mean, you can't worry about things you can't control. Just keep going forward. Right now my concern is to get healthy, compete at the level I need to compete at."
Watching him struggle immensely against Double-A hitters Monday, McDonald didn't appear close to being ready to compete consistently at the major league level.

on February 25, 2013 - 12:05 AM
, updated February 25, 2013 at 12:14 AM
One thing is certain about the 2013 NFL draft: There is no certainty when it comes to the No. 1 overall pick. The Kansas City Chiefs made it known over the weekend at the NFL Scouting Combine that they're open for business when it comes to trading out of the top spot, but the question then becomes, who's worth moving up for?
NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock calls the 2013 class lacking in elite talent and says there are serious questions about each of this year's quarterbacks. That is of particular interest to teams like the Chiefs at No. 1 and the Buffalo Bills, who hold the eighth overall pick in the first round and have a need at the game's most important position.
The draft does have good depth, however, especially at defensive tackle. That's shown here, with six of the first 32 picks being made at the position. Despite questions about the quarterbacks, two of them go in the first seven picks in this version of how things might go.
While workouts won't wrap up at the combine until Tuesday, here is The News' first shot at what the first round will look like when the picks start being called out by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on April 25 in New York's Radio City Music Hall.
1. Kansas City Chiefs. Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M. New General Manager John Dorsey and coach Andy Reid made it clear at the combine they won't reach for their biggest need, a quarterback, if they don't feel one is worthy of the top overall selection. Instead, they get someone to protect whoever will be taking snaps next season.
2. Jacksonville Jaguars. Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia. St. Francis grad David Caldwell hopes to grab a franchise quarterback with his first pick as GM. It's time to move on from Blaine Gabbert and Caldwell has said the team has got no interest in the Tim Tebow circus coming to town.
3. Oakland Raiders. Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah. Durable three-year starter is an excellent run defender and above average as a pass rusher and fills a need for the Raiders, who are expected to part ways with Richard Seymour.
4. Philadelphia Eagles. Damontre Moore, DE, Texas A&M. Has the size (6-foot-4, 248 pounds) and flexibility to play outside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme. Has adopted former A&M linebacker and Broncos star pass rusher Von Miller as a mentor.
5. Detroit Lions. Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida St. Leaving school a year early after a monster season (13 sacks) for the Seminoles in 2012. Fills a big hole after the release of Kyle Vanden Bosch.
6. Cleveland Browns. Chance Warmack, G, Alabama. Gets to pave the way again for former Crimson Tide teammate Trent Richardson. Consider this some gamesmanship after Browns CEO Joe Banner said drafting Warmack "wouldn't fit philosophically" with how the team was being built.
7. Arizona Cardinals. Matt Barkley, QB, USC. Don't be swayed by the Matt Leinart comparisons. Quarterbacks always go higher than you think. Biggest need in the draft might be Arizona's at QB.
8. Buffalo Bills. Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee. Positional need grew larger with the departure of David Nelson. Patterson has limited major college experience but has the measurables teams like. Sunday's 40-yard dash time of 4.42 seconds is a great sign for his chances of being the No. 1 receiver selected.
9. New York Jets. Dion Jordan, DE, Oregon. Assuming his scheduled shoulder surgery next week goes well, Jordan can replace the released Calvin Pace. His athleticism should be intriguing to Rex Ryan.
10. Tennessee Titans. Jonathan Cooper, G, North Carolina. Offensive line allowed 39 sacks last season. Cooper helps fix that, and opens up some room for Chris Johnson.
11. San Diego Chargers. Eric Fisher, LT, Central Michigan. St. Francis grad Tom Telesco's first pick for the Bolts is some protection for quarterback Philip Rivers. Fisher was a standout at the Senior Bowl.
12. Miami Dolphins. Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama. With several free agents, Miami might not be able to retain Sean Smith. Milliner would be an upgrade anyway. Like Jordan, Milliner will also have shoulder surgery, which might slide him down the board ever so slightly.
13. Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Ezekiel Ansah, DE, BYU. Ghana native has played for only three seasons, making for easy comparison to Jason Pierre-Paul. Ansah has scouts buzzing about his potential. Bucs need to generate better pass rush to help league-worst pass defense.
14. Carolina Panthers. Sharrif Floyd, DT, Florida. Bills castoff Dwan Edwards was starting last year in Carolina, which explains the need. Floyd is versatile, playing every position along the D-line for the Gators.
15. New Orleans Saints. Johnathan Hankins, DT, Ohio State. Massive (320 pounds) tackle can help the league's worst run defense and anchor Rob Ryan's 3-4 scheme.
16. St. Louis Rams. Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma. Former high school quarterback has the athleticism to show for it, running a 4.72 40 at the combine. Big-time potential.
17. Pittsburgh Steelers. Kenny Vaccaro, S, Texas. Steelers get oft-injured Troy Polamalu's eventual replacement.
18. Dallas Cowboys. Sheldon Richardson, DT, Missouri. Slides perfectly into new defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin's 4-3 scheme as a three technique.
19. New York Giants. Jarvis Jones, LB, Georgia. Concern over Jones' spinal stenosis is rumored to have had some teams slide him down their draft board. Team that drafts him will have to be comfortable with the medical reports.
20. Chicago Bears. Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre Dame. Great combine numbers solidified his spot as the top tight end available and he provides another trusted target for QB Jay Cutler to go with Brandon Marshall.
21. Cincinnati Bengals. Alec Ogletree, LB, Georgia. Bengals have never shied away from taking players with character concerns — like Ogletree, who was recently arrested on DUI charges.
22. St. Louis Rams. Keenan Allen, WR, Cal. Allen tore the posterior-cruciate ligament in his left knee in 2012, ending his season. Prior to the injury he caught 61 passes for 737 yards and six touchdowns in nine games. Allen tweaked the injury while training, so he didn't run the 40 at the combine. He'll do so at Cal's pro day March 14.
23. Minnesota Vikings. Sylvester Williams, DT, North Carolina. The Williams wall is rebuilt. After losing ex-Bill Pat Williams to retirement, the Vikings add Sylvester Williams to the interior of the defense to join Kevin Williams.
24. Indianapolis Colts. D.J. Fluker, OT, Alabama. It makes sense to keep investing in players to protect franchise quarterback Andrew Luck. Fluker has his own gravitational pull at 6-foot-5, 339 pounds. Can start at right tackle from Day One.
25. Seattle Seahawks. Barkevious Mingo, DE, LSU. The exact type of project Pete Carroll will embrace. All the talent in the world, but didn't always maximize it in college.
26. Green Bay Packers. Matt Elam, S, Florida. Need to replace Charles Woodson, and Elam is a big hitter who brings plenty of enthusiasm to the field every game.
27. Houston Texans. Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia. Austin proclaimed himself the best player in the draft at the combine. Gotta love that confidence. He would add a solid second option for Matt Schaub behind Andre Johnson.
28. Denver Broncos. Jesse Williams, DT, Alabama. Interior defensive linemen continue to fly off the board. Williams, who was born in Australia, started every game the last two seasons for the two-time defending national champions.
29. New England Patriots. Johnthan Banks, CB, Mississippi State. The Pats gave up the fourth-most passing yards in 2012. Banks has good height at 6-foot-2, but needs to add weight to his 185-pound frame.
30. Atlanta Falcons. Zach Ertz, TE, Stanford. This pick provided they can't convince Tony Gonzalez to delay retirement. If they can, Falcons should consider Alabama running back Eddie Lacy.
31. San Francisco 49ers. Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida State. Super Bowl showed there are some holes in the secondary for the NFC champions.
32. Baltimore Ravens. Kevin Minter, LB, LSU. Minter has to step into the role vacated by the retirement of Ray Lewis.

Volunteering changed my life
20 November 2008
by Mashaka Mkesso
Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania: I am young man born in 1972. I was chosen to join the University of Dar-es-Salaam in 2005; my father wanted me to study law. But I didn't want to create misery for people because law means prison. I wanted to end people's strife and misery. This was because of my experiences with the poor.
I lived most of my life in urban areas, particularly Dar-es-Salaam, but I visited some rural areas in Songea when I was in grade seven. There I discovered the worst life in the world.
What shocked me most were the unnecessary deaths of children and pregnant women. I was told that pregnancy means half-dead half-alive, so it is normal for pregnant women to die. I doubted that.
At university, I found about sociology which guided me to solve such mysteries. I took it. After completion, I joined the Dhahabu Arts Group to volunteer using arts to lobby, advocate and campaign on policies and build capacity for communities to bring their own development. Transform their lives. To change their behaviour for a better life.
My greatest achievement was when I helped people in one of the villages I visited in Singida in 2006 to build a dispensary. They had none and the nearest dispensary was about 50 kilometres away. So many pregnant women took the risk of not going to a clinic because there was no transport and almost no road. The District Council provided cement and iron sheets, and nurse and a doctor.
At first I was afraid to be a volunteer, fearing that I will never get people's and Government support, but thanks to my animation and facilitation Skills, I managed to convince such villagers to find out by themselves the problem they are facing and decide on what measures to take through participatory theatre.
This project, under Dhahabu Arts Group and its partner Utu Mwanamke was extended to five regions, 10 Districts, 20 Wards and 60 Villages. Now pregnant women and babies' deaths have declined.
I am still thinking of the remote villages we have not yet visited, what is happening there? How many women and children are dying daily because there are no clinics, money to pay for services and health nutrition?
Sometimes later I will initiate my own project, maybe with interested partners to build not only clinics but also roads and economies for remote rural areas. I know resources are available around all rural areas, however people with skills and who are committed must do something.

No one had illusions that Pope Benedict XVI was getting younger, but few Catholics expected the aging pontiff to announce his resignation Monday – just two days before the start of the Lenten holy season.
Western New Yorkers expressed a mix of surprise, sadness, optimism and even a bit of confusion over Benedict's stunning announcement that he no longer had the physical strength necessary to lead the Roman Catholic faithful and will step down Feb. 28.
"I've never heard of a pope resigning," said Michael Godzala, of Cheektowaga, who learned of the pope's plans following a morning Mass in St. Gabriel Church in Elma.
Indeed, no previous pope in nearly 600 years has voluntarily resigned the office.
The Rev. Martin X. Moleski, a Jesuit priest and professor of religious studies at Canisius College, called the pope's decision courageous and generous – and potentially benefiting the church for many years to follow.
"It goes so against the grain of recent example," Moleski said. "This opens the door for subsequent popes. It makes it possible for them to retire at the top of their game, and that can lead to better leadership of the church."
Area Catholics generally applauded the pope's decision. Some of them recalled watching the previous pontiff, John Paul II, live out his final days severely infirm and incapable of performing his papal duties.
"This sets a good precedent that we don't have to have long, drawn-out twilights," said Michael Toner, an Amherst Catholic.
Godzala said the pope apparently did what his conscience told him was right.
"I don't know what the circumstances are," he said. "If he steps down and says, 'You know I'd rather have a younger, more enthusiastic person take over' and he gives his blessing. … If that's what he feels is in his heart, what can I say?"
Bishop Richard J. Malone praised Benedict's humility in making a decision that was in the best interests of the church.
"This is clearly due to his health," Malone said. "His mind is as sharp as a tack."
Malone, whom Benedict appointed as bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Buffalo last May, said this pontiff will go down in history as a brilliant scholar who was never out of touch with how the world was evolving.
"Pope Benedict really had his finger on the pulse of the culture," Malone said.
At the same time, the bishop added, "I think of Pope Benedict as a man who honored and fostered church tradition."
Mary Roaldi, of Kenmore, described Benedict as a great teacher of the faith and said she was saddened he is stepping down.
"He was helping us to wake up and see how we are destroying ourselves by thinking that we are independent and don't need God," Roaldi said.
But other Catholics criticized Benedict for making overtures to dissident conservatives, while cracking down on liberal thinking within the church.
Under Benedict, the Vatican investigated seminaries in an effort to weed out gay candidates for the priesthood and conducted a controversial "doctrinal assessment" of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious that's been heavily criticized by supporters of Catholic sisters.
Last fall, the Vatican dismissed Roy Bourgeois from the Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers, where he had served as a priest for more than 40 years. Bourgeois refused to recant his longtime advocacy for women's ordination in the Roman Catholic Church. He will be in Buffalo next week as part of a tour of upstate New York cities to discuss his dismissal from the priesthood.
"There's been so many cases where people of good will have followed their consciences, and Benedict and people he's appointed have come after them," said Toner, who heads a local branch of Call to Action, a Catholic reform group. "All he did was talk about women's ordination. He didn't hurt any children. And he gets excommunicated and thrown out."
"We're also seeing that with the nuns, and we're seeing that with theologians," added Toner. "Shouldn't we be acting more out of love than fear within the church?"
Judy Capodicasa, of Buffalo, said the next pope needs to "take an honest look at church history" and revisit its limitations on women.
"The insistence that women can't be priests and don't even talk about it – that's ridiculous," Capodicasa said.
But Roaldi said women's ordination is a settled issue in the church.
"Our society is falling apart. Why are we still talking about this?" she said.
And too many nuns were out of step with official church doctrine, she added, forcing the Vatican to act.
"When the world looks at them and they're saying one thing and the Vatican says another, it causes great confusion," she said. "The Vatican over and over and over gave the women religious a second chance."
Benedict also faced criticism for his handling of the clergy sexual abuse crisis, with some Catholics even urging him to resign back in 2010 amid reports in the New York Times and German media that linked him to a cover-up of the scandal during his tenure as an archbishop in Munich and later as prefect for the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, under Pope John Paul II.
But Malone said Benedict deserves credit for requiring bishops around the world to establish and implement policies to remove abusive priests.
Benedict's departure during the middle of Lent leaves open the possibility that a new pope could be in place by Holy Week and Easter Sunday.
Could the Lenten season – with its focus on prayer, repentance and change – have something to do with the timing of Benedict's announcement?
Malone said it's possible the pope wanted the cardinals to make a decision on his successor during Lent.
"That kind of symbolism might be something he had in mind, but there's all kinds of things we still don't know," said the Rev. Joseph G. Hubbert, associate professor of religious studies at Niagara University.
Even if the timing was motivated primarily by a change in Benedict's health, all eyes will be focused on the Catholic Church for weeks to come, during the height of the Christian calendar, Moleski said.
"Everybody's going to be thinking about the church and what kind of pope has he been and what kind of pope can we hope for," he said.

COLUMBIANA - As Treasurer Lori Posey cautioned last year, the city school district is anticipated to operate on deficit spending over the next five years and could be in the red by as much as $2 million in 2017.
A five-year financial forecast indicated the district will realize a $158,000 deficit next year and the loss will only continue to grow over the years.
By 2016, the district is expected to spend $1.14 million more than it will make. Despite the deficit spending the district's overall fund balance should remain in the black until 2016, when a $570,000 deficit is projected in the overall balance.
The total fund is expected to dip to $2.1 million in the negative by 2017, according to the forecast.
Posey noted that although the forecast is only a projection at this time, the district needs to focus on curbing spending in a way that wont have a "substantial" impact on the level of education already offered.
She also noted the board will likely seek another bond issue in May of next year. The district has been able to avoid seeking additional tax revenue since 2002, she said.
A bond issue that would have generated $4 million for the refurbishment of South Side Middle School was rejected by voters this year after being met with some criticism. Voters complained the district didn't properly advertise the issue prior to the May election and members of the board argued they arent permitted to use district money to advertise a tax.
Bond issue money cannot be spent on operational purposes. The board had also considered putting a $1 million operating tax levy before voters this year but later opted to take it off the table after changes to the preliminary five-year forecast last year reflected a $48,196 surplus and a little more than $2 million cash balance for this year.
The additional money was from the sale of the Firestone Farms housing development, higher than expected income tax received and revenue from an oil and gas lease.
The surplus will be short-lived, however, as the money will only pad the budget for this fiscal year.
Looking forward to the anticipated shortfalls, the district in June offered a retirement and resignation incentive to its staff in order to avoid future layoffs. Only one person took advantage of the offer.
Superintendent Don Mook said then he wasnt sure how many layoffs could be expected in the future.
Layoffs were not mentioned in the five-year forecast, and Posey said the district has saved money through teaching retirements over the last two years.
So far, nine teachers have retired from the district since 2011, and four positions have not been replaced.
The district also realized a $154,000 savings through paying three teachers from grant funds beginning last year, according to the report.
Certified and classified employees will receive no wage increase in 2013, but a 1 percent increase and step increases are planned for 2014 and beyond. The increases have not been negotiated however, as both union contracts expire in June of 2013, Posey said.
Salaries and wages account for roughly $4 million of the district's expenditures each year. Retirement and insurance benefits account for roughly $1.5 to $2 million.
Posey explained in the report the district is saving money on the benefits through the consortium it joined in 2009. Since then, the insurance costs have increased and decreased over the years, with the highest increase at 16 percent and the lowest at 4 percent.
"As the expenses of running a growing and successful district increase, our revenue remains relatively flat. We will continue to closely monitor our cash balance as items change in the forecast and drive our need for cuts or additional dollars," she said in the report.

Ambrose passed fit for Warwickshire
Click here for exclusive match highlights from every day's play, latest scores, reports, news and interviews during the LV= County Championship campaign
Tim Ambrose is set to return to Warwickshire's line-up for their LV= County Championship Division One fixture with Middlesex at Uxbridge.
Wicketkeeper-batsman Ambrose missed the match against Surrey at Edgbaston with a thigh strain, and had been expected to be out of action for longer.
However, his swift recovery should see him reclaim the gloves from Richard Johnson, who returned from a loan spell of Derbyshire to feature in Warwickshire's previous fixture.
Ashley Giles' side are currently second to Nottinghamshire in Division One, by virtue of having lost one game more than their rivals, but have the opportunity to pull clear as they play their game in hand this week.
Middlesex will be without Steven Finn as the seamer joins back up with the England squad ahead of the second Investec Test with South Africa.
They will be hoping to bounce back after a disappointing defeat to Durham, where they were dismissed for just 102 in their second innings.
Somerset, who still have high hopes of claiming their first County Championship crown, will travel to Liverpool to face Lancashire.
Marcus Trescothick is set to make his first appearance in the competition since April and victory would move his team ahead of Nottinghamshire, who had to settle for a draw against Sussex last week.
Lancashire all-rounders Tom Smith and Luke Procter are unavailable due to thigh and side strains respectively, so Andrea Agathangelou comes into the squad.
Sussex welcome Worcestershire to The PROBIZ County Ground in the other Division One match.
The home side will be upbeat after their rearguard performance against Notts, which saw Ed Joyce and Chris Nash share an opening stand of 216 to help salvage a draw against the title hopefuls.
The St. Helen's Ground in Swansea plays host to Glamorgan's annual visit to west Wales for their Division Two clash with Gloucestershire.
Robert Croft returns to Glamorgan's squad on his home turf, while Nick James has also been brought in.
Yorkshire will be hoping to get their promotion challenge back on track against Northamptonshire at Wantage Road.
Steve Harmison picked up a side injury during the White Rose's disappointing draw at Grace Road last week and is not fit for selection, while Ryan Sidebottom is still absent with a calf injury.
Northants captain Andrew Hall is set to make his return from injury, having been recalled along with Chaminda Vaas, David Willey and Stephen Peters. Jack Brooks is unavailable due to a niggle, however.
Leicestershire will travel to Chelmsford to face Essex, with both teams attempt to move themselves away from the foot of the table.

China is blocking the import of American films, said MPAA
CEO and Chairman Dan Glickman in an official statement released last week.
"Although we have not received official confirmation of such
a ban from the Chinese Government or China Film, the indicators are strong that
our information is correct," read the statement. "If such action has been taken
… it would represent an enormous step backwards in terms of China's efforts to develop
a strong … and legitimate film exhibition and distribution market."
In a move that some suspect is retaliation for a recent U.S.-filed
WTO complaint over China's alarmingly high piracy rate, the Chinese
government appears to have stopped granting import requests to American
filmmakers -- of which it normally allows for about 20 movies per year. According
to one anonymous Hollywood executive speaking
to The New York Times, the
Chinese government became suddenly uncooperative; filmmakers' movie import requests
for early next year have thus far been ignored, delayed, or come back denied.
"We are working with top officials in the US government,
including the Treasury Secretary, as well as the Trade Representative and
Secretary of Commerce, both of whom are in China at the moment," said Glickman.
"If these reports are true, it is unacceptable that China has taken this action
and we will bring all our resources and leverage to bear to address this
A spokeswoman from the Chinese State Administration of
Radio, Film, and Television, declined to comment on the so-called ban, noting
that if such a ban was in place it would have been officially announced on the
Administration's web site.
American filmmakers, many of whom are betting heavily on the growing the Chinese market, say China's restrictive stance on
American movies is a direct contributor to the country's high piracy rate. The previous
20-movie limit is "a very low number to begin with," said
U.S. Trade Representative Susan Schwab, "and we believe the low number
contributes to the problems [we] have in intellectual property rights
A Chinese ban on American movies "would be very serious
indeed," said Schwab, who at the time was at a Strategic Economic Dialogue
meeting outside Beijing. "We have spoken forcefully to our Chinese hosts."
quote: As vitamin C is in many food products, almost all 'energy' drinks, 'fruit' drinks, vitamin pills themselves, etc., China could wipe out 75% of the US population this way.
quote: Or that matter, they can easily kill many pets in American through spiking the ingredients they sell that are in virtually every brand of pet food. Oh wait, they already did the test run on that one. And it worked.
quote: How about the death of oak trees in the US and other countries -- traced to a Chinese fungus that US intelligence believes was distributed throughout the US by Chinese agents.
quote: Or Chinese fish introduced into US water systems that have decimated US fish populations. Same as above.
quote: China is a true menace. 1B+ strong, smart, and totally dedicated to the pursuit of money above all other things. In other words, 100% evil.

Known for its tough defense, the San Francisco 49ers struggled in the first quarter of play to match the fierce offense of the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC Championship game.
In their first drive, the Falcons took a 7-0 lead on a 49 yard touchdown pass from Matt Ryan to Julio Jones.
With 3:20 left in the first quarter, Atlanta kicker Matt Bryant converts a 35-yard field goal to give the Falcons an early 10-0 lead.
The 49ers offense hasn't been able to do much, as Kaepernick was sacked with 2:00 to go in the first, forcing a three and out for San Francisco.

Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes, this blog is born again!
What better way to start it off than following the beautiful sport of tennis doused in bright colors, pageantry and atmosphere. Every year we flock to watch the bright young stars of tennis compete in the Family Circle Cup. Beautiful young women almost dance across the court in brightly-colored outfits. How envious we are of their youth, beauty and talent. Fans fill the stadium to cheer on the athletes, soak up some rays and enjoy their favorite libations. The court is swept, the balls are collected, referees call for silence and the games begin.
Do you know what I love about tennis -- none of that! I like the raw power of a serve. The loud grunts every time the ball is hit. The flexing of the muscles during a backhand swing. The fierce glances they fire at each other across the net. The roller coaster of emotions the players display throughout the match. Above all, the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.
Tennis is a graceful game filled with pretty colors and beautiful people but strip away all of that and you may find the true beauty of the game.

When asked in an interview with Sewing World Mag to describe her style and target audience she answered, "The style of my patterns ranges from vintage/retro to bohemian. I make my sewing patterns for the emerging sewer who doesn't want to wear what everyone else is wearing. She also doesn't want to spend days working on the pattern. She wants the pattern to be basic and straightforward with amazing results. She wants to make clothes for herself but wants others to think that she purchased it from a clothing boutique. When people ask where she purchased her clothing, she enjoys telling them that she made it herself."

While doing the girl doggie style you have a friend waiting just outside the door. The said friend slowly comes in and you stop fucking her and he quickly procedes to take over. While your girl thinks you are still behind her leave the room and proced outside and to the window of the room where she is having fun. Then smile and wave to her from outside the room.
This magic trick will more than likely cause you to never get any from this girl again.

It was with profound pleasure with which I read through your web site. As a matter of fact when I went through the articles trying to justify the world's millennium goals, I only felt it being very hypocritical. My personal observations tells me that the co-ordinators of volunteer programmes do well to discourage lots of people in developing countries from applying or succeeding in rendering their services.
It may sound funny that I am complaining. I was interested but have been discouraged. I have the talents, skills and the knowledge; both theory and practice. How was I discouraged? The co-ordinators believed that we in the developed countries, when we talk of volunteering, our services, we are looking for employment. If I may let you know, we are just waiting to heed to the call to humanity. Nothing short of that.
I don't know whether this complaint is in the right quarters, if not do me a favour to forward it to the right one. You may as well let me know if I am wrong in my assessments.
This moment I may only contribute in writing as a third world citizen.
Yours sincerely,

Consumers in the Buffalo Niagara region are in more of a spending mood than they've been since the recession started 5½ years ago.
A survey released Thursday by researchers at Siena College in Loudonville found that consumers in the Buffalo Niagara region now are more interested in making major purchases than they've been since the spring of 2007, when they began delaying spending on big-ticket items as the economy soured.
"Consumers intend to express their pent-up demand this spring, with far greater than usual interest in buying cars, computers and furniture," said Don Levy, director of the Siena Research Institute, which conducts a quarterly survey of consumer confidence in New York's major cities.
But Levy also warned that the urge to spend could prove fleeting as Washington continues to grapple with record-high budget deficits and a looming deadline on raising the federal debt ceiling.
"Sentiment remains fragile and could suffer from a debt ceiling debacle," Levy said. "But right now, it looks like consumers will spend more and add a little oomph to this economy."
Consumer confidence improved by almost 5 percent in Buffalo Niagara in the fourth quarter, leaving sentiment levels about 15 percent higher than they were a year ago and 48 percent better than they were at the depths of the recession four years ago.
Even so, confidence levels in Buffalo Niagara are almost 7 percent lower than they are nationally and 5 percent below the statewide rate, Siena researchers said.
The survey of 400 consumers measures their willingness to spend on a wide range of items, from vehicles and furniture to computers and home improvements.
The improvement in confidence locally was the fifth-best among the nine metro areas included in the Siena survey. Confidence improved the most in Binghamton, where consumers over the last two years have been among the most downbeat in the state. It improved the least in New York City, which still remains the most upbeat market in the state.
Consumer confidence in Buffalo Niagara ranks fourth, behind New York City, Rochester and Albany.
The survey showed that a wide gap remains between current buying plans of local consumers and their plans for future spending. While consumers in Buffalo Niagara ranked first on their willingness to spend now, they ranked next-to-last on their long-term spending plans.
