Ask the majority of the people to tell you something about Woody Hayes, and that's what they're going to tell you." Surely, Hayes - the consummate teacher and coach would have wanted some lessons to be gleaned from his misfortune. But it's' hard to tell exactly what was learned. This is, after.all, a sport~ culture that · preaches zero tolerance and yet turns Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer's slapping a player on the sideline - and the player's foulmouthed retort - into a lead highlight on TV. Beamer was never punished. Bob Kili~ht is caught on video grabbmg a player by the neck in practice and eventually gets fired. But two years later, he's coaching again, swearing on television and acting every bit as outlandish as before. Former Jacksonville Jaguars coach Tom Coughlin, who swore for eight years while stomping up and down the same sideline on which Hayes lost his job, remembers watching TV the night of Hayes' punch. . ''It was very unfortunilte," Coughlin said. "But you've got to remember the other things he did while he was the football coach. He was always teaching vocabulary, ·etiquette, manners. He had some rather crude way of explaining things, ~.ut he was always teachmg. . · Stillwagon sees the irony there. Hayes, he says, was always teaching, always preaching and yes, always violent · Back then, though, the linebacker recalled, it seemed like the message was more important than the method. "I remember he said you never remain the same,'' Stillwagon said. "He .said you either get better or get worse. You don't stay constant. He always had a lot of great advice like that. Sometimes. l wish he would have taken it for himself." Oester returns to Reds as minor league coordinator CINCINNATI (AP) - Ron Oester, a former Cincinnati Reds player and coach who soured on the team after he was passed over for the manager's job in 2000, said Wednesday he is ~appy to ·be returning now as the team's minor league field coordinator. Oester, who says fortner Reds general manager Jim Bowden offered him the job as manager in 2000 and then hired Bob Boone instead when Oester asked for an improved salary offer, told reporters he welcomed. the Reds' offer to bring him)lack to his hometown. · But when asked if he would have returned had Bowden still been with the Reds, Oester said. "No." The · Reds fired Bowden and Boone in July 2003 as the team fell out of contention. Bowden couJd not be reached for a respoilse Wednesday afternoon. A cell telephone number QB that had been listed in his nan1e has been disconnected. . Oester told reporters at a news conference at Great American Ball Park that his disappointment with the Reds is behind him. He said he enjoyed the past two seasons in the Philadelphia Phillies' minor league system but had kept his house in Cincinnati. "They pursued me aggressively," Oester said of the Reds. ''That meant a lot to me." With the Phillies. Oester was responsible for developing infielders in the minor leagues.

OAK HARBOR, Ohio (AP) - The nation 's nuclear plants can expect to feel the effects of an acid leak in northern Ohio as regulators strengthen their WJICh. . Regulators are changing the way t~ey inspect pliints and react to problems and are beefing up traliiing. The catalyst was an acid leak almost two years ago that nearly ate through a 6-. inch-thick steel liner at the Davis-Besse nuclear plant along Lake. Erie. It was the most extensive corrosion ever found at a U.S. nuclear reactor. Critics question whether the revised regulations are enough to prevent safety problems at other ·plants, saying that staffing cuts have stretched · the NRC"s resources and reduced oversight. . . The agency also has shifted staff from other plants to watch over the problems at Davis-Besse, leading some basic inspectioN•. at otherplants to be perfonned by outside contractors. "Will the NRC be able to follow Davis-Besse's fixes .if there's another problem at another plant?" said David Lochbaum, a nuclear safety engineer with the Union of Concerned Scientists. • a watchdog group. "It's not that they don't care," he said. "They just · Ju!ye limited resources." The NRC said the staffing issue is only temporary. Bill Ruland, NRC project director for Midwest nuclear po..yer plants, said it hasn't impacted safety at the nation's 102 other nuclear plants. .The NRC cut 79 employees from ils inspection staff between 1998 and 2002 - a 12 ~ercent reduction, accordmg to a review of agency . records by The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer. At Davis-Besse, the NRC has added a third inspector, will increase the number of inspections and plans to keep a review board in place for at least the next ·six months. "In effect it's a custom built oversight for DavisBesse," agency s~okesman Jan Strasma satd. That will continue for six months, a year, however long it takes." The owner, Akron-based FirstE!lergy Corp.; hopes to reo~n the plant soon, but regulators still have concerns about how the plant is being operated. The NRC had put in put place or . expected to com, plete by the end of 2003 about half of the recommendation s fi'om a "lessons l~arned" task force that were adopted a year ago, Strasma said. · ""'·· . Those ·include increasftl.g inspection routines arid instilling ~ more "ques1ioning ·attitude" among inspectors. The. NRC also is studying technology that . identifies leaks and will decide whether that's needed at U.S. plants. The leak detection sensors . are used at nuclear'plants in France and ·canada. Davis-Besse is' the only U.S. plant to install the flexible hoses with sensors that monitor for increases i~ humidity levels , which is an indicator of possible leaks. But some high-priority items may take at least another year to complete. "A number of 1hese are long-term actions· that require us to change processes." Ruland said. "We want to do these pretty cacefully. We want to make sure we do them right, but we. re on track. " He said the agency, which was criticized for not documenting the reasons behind some of its decisions, was now keeping more detailed records of its discussions with plant operators. The agency's inspe~tor general in October said errors stopped the NRC from finding the leaking acid and damage at Davis-Besse much earlier than March 2002.

COLUMBUS (AP) - The State Highway Patrol troopers union is dissausfied with inserts provided to reinforce potentially faulty bulletproof vests. The vests from Second Chance Body Armor are made of a high·tech.synthetic fiber called Zylon. The material 's manufacturer, Toyobo, acknow Iedged that Zylon loses. 10 to 20 perc.enl of its durability within two years of manufacture. However, Toyobo officials ' have said Zylon works well in body armor that is properly col)structed. Second Chance, based in Central Lake, Mich., provided extra armor inserts for Ohio troopers' vests in light of at . least six :lawsuits and federal and state investigaiions in the effectiveness of the vests.

I 5: No matter what sort of tribunal is used to try Saddam Hussein for his crimes,' enemies of the Uni,ted States will condemn the proceeding. That's a given. Clearly, Saddam is guilty of terrible crimes again!\! humanity. The Bush adi!Jinistration deserves credit for rem<,>ving the dictator from power. Still, the very essence of liberty is that no one is to be punished for a crime without' due process of law. That law, not incidentally, must be one written to safeguard people, not regimes. Saddam \viii be brought to trial. probably in Iraq. lt is likely he will be convicted speedily of multiple crimes. That fact will be seized upon by critics, who, no doubt , will claim it is evidence the dictator was given only a sham trial. That makes it all the more important that the trial reveal all the horrible evidence against Saddam. If it takes weeks or . months to accomplish that ..so be it. In the end, enemies of the United States will not be pacified by any disposition of Saddam 's case. But a formal trial at least will set the record straight for posterity.

Clear-thinking Americans unders(and that busting down somebody's door to check a sex act is absurd, but legalizing marriage for an alternative lifestyle does not necessarily follow in the logical thought chain. Yes, there are good arguments for allowing homosexuals legal parity with straights, but the vast majority of Americans want to keep the traditional definition of marriage, and their opinion ought to count for something. But in the minds of the ideologues, the folk's don't count. If you disagree with ·these extremists, then you are a moron and an enemy that must be attacked . The man who has benefited the most from the ideological wars of 2003 has to be Howard Dean . Here's a guy who has found fame and power simply by intensely disliking President Bush.

Buckeyes fans satisfied with Fiesta win ANITA CHANG Associated Press BY COLUMBUS- Even though it didn't result in a national championship, many Ohio State fans who packed bars and threw parties were satisfied with the Buckeyes' victory in their return trip to the Fiesta Bowl. "I honestly think it's great that they got to .go back out there. You can't expect this team to be in the national championship every year," said Jenny Carr, who hosted about a dozen friends at her Grove City home on Friday. Ohio State won the national championship in last year's Fiesta Bowl by beating Miami 31-24' in double overtime. No such prize was on the line this time when the seventh-ranked Buckeyes beat.No. 8 Kansas State 35-28. "Just a few friends and some food and :,some football," Carr said about her :party. "This is a group ~f people that we :get together frequently with to watch the Buckeyes and you can't miss a night like this." The party was held in what Carr's husband Michael calls ' The Sportsbar' .their basement, iiJ which they have built : a bar and added sports memorabilia. : Other Buckeyes fans filled bars and Next stop~ ~ restaurants with scarlet and gray. At a Buffalo Wild Wings Grill & Bar, patrons decked out Buckeyes · gear showed up mo~ than two hours before kickoff to get prime seats in front of the bar and the big screen TVs. Saman Shirvani, 31, , and Patrick Stokes, 32, seated with two other friends in the center of the restaurant, said they had two reasons for coming out Friday night. They wanted to watch the game and watch it without Stokes' pregnant ~ 'wife. . "I didn't want to sit a.t home. It's the last game of the season," Stokes said. Restaurant patrons sipping beers and munching on wings applauded loudly when Ohio State plays:rs ran on the field before kickoff. The restaurant's speakers piped in "Han~ On Sloopy" and fans chimted in unison: "0-H-1-0!" · But Tom O'Reilly, 40, questioned whether the fans were really that excited. "It's a little bit of a letdown and we shouldn't be disappointed because we're in a big bowl game. But it doesn't seem like anyone is as fired up," said O'Reilly, who attended the Fiesta Bowl last year. . Bea Schumacher, 49'; brought friends, family and about I ,500 buckeyes to a Damon's Grill. Schumacher and her husband handed out the dark brown nuts to all the other Buckeyes fans at the restaurant where a wall of giant televisions all were tuned to the game. A homemade Ohio State tree, decorated with buckeye nut ornaments and a plastic Brutus mascot perched at the top, sat at the end of Schumacher's table. Schumacher said she was excited Ohio State was in the Fiesta Bowl again. " My fear is that if they had gone to Miami, it would have been a much harder game. Their fans can be nasty," she said, adding, "And there's always next year." Barbara Greiner, who cheered on Ohio State last year in Tempe, Ariz., stayed at home this time to attend a Fiesta Bowl watching party in suburban Columbus with family and friends. "I'm excited every time they go to a bowl game," said Greiner, 39, who shopped for some last-minute Buckeyes items Friday with her son, Laken, 7. "I j ust love the Buckeyes and I love to see them go to a bowl game.". She and her husband, Charles, both went to Arizona State but consider themselves biological Buckeyes fans.

KITCHEN PageC5 Sunday, January 4, 2004 NEW YORK (AP) Three men in tall white . toques are standing around a steel food-prep table in the room-service kitchen beneath the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. On the table are four plates with newly created dishes for the room-service menu. The new dishes await the critical appraisal of a fourth toqiled man, executive chef John · Doherty. He scrutinizes tjje food intently before he says anything . . As Doherty tastes a salad of tender greens and warm flavorful dressing, the questions begin. How will the salad dressing remain warm? Wi II the salad be dressed in the guest's room? (Room service was first popularized by the Waldorf and they still offer it 24 hours a 'day.)

"And we're hauling more pork out of Kansas." Though 90 percent of U.S. beef is sold at home, the overnight collapse of the export business has given companies that transport feed, 'cattle and beef, as well as some meat processors, plenty to worry about. Shippers and meat industry officials said it is too early to accurately asse~s the financial impact but that some economic hardship is already trickling down: the cattle trade between barns and feed lots has slowed, the value of slaughter-ready animals .. has declined and some meat · processors have scaled back production enough to necessitate furloughs. · Moreover, some $200 million worth of meat and meat products remains in limbo, either at sea, at port or in refrigerated facilities here and abroad, according to industry officials. In the pas_t week, SCS Refrigerated Services 'o f Portland, Ore. , received a surge of inquiries fm_m meat producers and shippers look- . ing to store more than .10 million pounds of meat products. " It's what we call opportunity business," said president and CE;O Hugh Carr, noting that January would otherwise be ri slow month. "But it's not the kind of opportunity busi- · ness we welcome because it's terribly unfortunate situation."

The investigation con. tinues and authorities have now quarantined a third herd of , Washington state cattle connected to the _same Canadian herd as the infected cow. Mad cow disease, formally known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy, is a concern because humans who eat brain or spinal matter from an infected cow can develop a brain-wasting illness that can be fatal. Despite assurances by U.S. officials that the nation's beef is safe, the fate of nearly 2,000 containers of beef and beef products that were exported - prior to the Dec.

The survivors of this tragedy must now embark on a challenge to re-establish their homes (lnd neighborhoods - and !'Je sanctity of their relationships with friends and neighbors. As we wish good fortune for those who have been stricken, we also caution them about those who would attempt to take advantage of fhem during their vulnerable time. Nearly a decade ago, there was a similar fire "The Firestorm" in the Ilills of Oakland, Calif:, where 3,000 approximately dwellings were burnt to the ground. We were intimately involved in that incident, and · observed the human emotion and behavior associated with it. We organized seminars to help survivors' become more informed. Building officials, engineers. architects imd others shared their knowledge thing they could ·.to protect their interests and .get their lives back together. • Good comes from all things- even tragedies. One of the best things that came out of The Firestorm was the organizing of the sur~i vors. They got together as a group, moving with strength and direction. With numbers on their side, they negotiated with city government officials about how their community would be rebuilt, and were able to prevent the insurance companies from exerting unfair practices. There were still mafly who were taken advantage of,' but in our estimation, \he formation of a group of representatives saved many from additional pain 'and suffering. Dealing with an insurance company is usually a Davidand-Goliath event where,. in the end, David loses. Here are some things to think about after major disaster strikes: -First things first. Don't be in a rush to get an insurance settlement or rebuild. You have plenty of <(ime. Fjrst, take care of you and 'your family. There is trauma, pain and suffering that will last, to some extent, forever. Mend as much of that as you possibly can. No matter how long it takes. Mind and body BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS • I' I. Prints, photos and paintings can add interest and style to a home. Often, picture frames are as decorative and inieresting as the items they house . ·Unfortunately, over time, and with lots of roughhousing by kids and grandkids, wooden picture frames get knocked around and become out of sq_u~re and beat up; miter JOmts can open up and glass can become cracked or chipped. Rather than replacing- an otherwise good frame with a new one, we suggest you make the repairs yourself. You will (find that the frame will be as good as new for a modest investment, and you'll be glad that you didn't toss that favorite frame. There are several means of reinforcing the joints of a wood picture frame. The appropnate method depends on the extent of the damage and the size of the frame. Larger frames require more reinforcement. In all cases, the fust step in the process is to remove the frame from the wall and carefully remove the contents glass and all. If the glas.s is damaged, look for a replacement at a local arts and crafts store that sells franies. Nonstandard size glass can be obtained from a local glass company. You'll need a clean, stable work surface such as a work bench or counter.. To avoid further ·damage to the frame and to prevent it from slipping during the repair process, we suggest covering fbe work surface with a small piece of rubber carpet pad. It's $reat for bther woodworkmg projects, too, Before reinforcing the picture frf!rne, use a speed square or triangle at the corners to check that they are 90-degree angles. Another PleaDS of determining that the frame is square is to use a tape measure to measure diagonally from outside corner to outside corner. When both measurements are the same, the frame is square. Once the frame is square and the mitered corners are closed, you can use one of the follewing repair methods: One of the simplest and most effective means of reinforcing a frame joint is with a mending plate. It's essentially a dog-eared metal triangle with small return flaps at either end. The tlaJls are designed to wrap tbe outside edge of the frdme and to further ensure that the frame is square. Mending plates contain several holes through which wood screws are inserted into the frame. Use a driver drill along with a 'small bit to drill small pilot holes beiQre driving the screws. Be careful not to drill through the face of the frame, and use screws that are not too long so they won't penetrate the face of the frame. Mending plates come in many sizes to accommodate various size frames. Joints for small to mediumsized frames can be reinforced usiriiffour- to sixpenny finish nails. Drive the two nails into the corner of the frame at a 90-degree angle for the most secure connection. Wherever possible, the nails should be driven into the top or bottom (rather than the sides) where they will be less visible. As with mending-plate installation, predrill small pilot holes to prevent the wood from splitting-. Use a punch to slightly countersink the nail heads to allow for puttying. Use . a vinyl spackle for painted frames and a putty stick or wood dough for stained or decora-tive ones. Repairs can be touched up using an art brush and a dab of matching paint. Reinforcing joints on larger frames can be a bit more daunting. The process is sim- Sunday, January 4; . first. "' before - depending on the - Move with a group.

When possible, the holes should be at the top or bottom of the frame where they will be less conspicuous. Be sure to use a bit that corresponds to the size of the peg. Drill a test hole into a scrap piece of material and test the fit. It should be snug - but not too tight. Drill the hole approximately !-16th of an mch deeper than the length of the peg so that it can be co~nters unk to ac~ept putty.

"When most people-look to deconite ~ith color, they look at paint, wallpaper, curtains and uphol stery," says Kaye Gosline, director, .contract fibers for .Solutia, Inc ., mak~rs of Wear-Dated® carpet fiber. With the hundreds of colors that are. now avai lable .for wall-to-wall carpeting, the floor can be the starting point for adding dramatic color to any room." According to the Colo"r Marketing Croup, a not-forprofit association of color designers that predicts yearly color trends, new cl,l.rpet colors for 2004 are bold and sophi sticated to enliven home decor.
