<p>correct, mattwonder</p>

<p>American and state flags are flying at half-staff at all state facilities, local government offices and other public buildings in honor of Lt. Gov. Catherine Baker Knoll.</p>

<p>Knoll, 72, died Nov. 12 after a long battle with cancer. She was the first woman elected a Pennsylvania's lieutenant governor.</p>

<p>Knoll will lie in repose in the Capitol Rotunda from noon Friday to 2 p.m. Saturday before her body is returned to Pittsburgh, where she will lie in repose at St. Paul's Cathedral. A public funeral Mass will be held at noon Nov. 25 at St. Paul's followed by a private burial.</p>

<p>On Nov. 13, Gov. Edward G. Rendell ordered all U.S. and Pennsylvania flags throughout the state to be flown at half-staff. Under the governor's order, flags are to remain at half-staff until Knoll's interment. By custom, local governments honor the governor's order.</p>

<p>Picture all the chances you took and ill-advised things you ever did in high school. Now remove your parents and curfew and various traditional lifelines from the situation and multiply it by the fact that everyone else around you is similarly unencumbered, and you can imagine how kids get themselves in trouble all the time when away at school. I think it is especially evident at schools where the students have never encountered failure (i.e., where they have been blessed with the intelligence or drive or support to always have things work well for them regardless of the hardship involved).</p>

<p>Praying for him to rest in peace, and for his family and friends to be able to make it through what will no doubt be a miserable holiday season for them...</p>
