"It's probably the most frustrating thing I've been through in my life," said Kansas wide receiver Kerry Meier.
There was the lone Nebraska fumble, which was recovered in the endzone for a touchdown. Then there was Kansas's fumble, which was recovered by Nebraska near the endzone. Nebraska sprung a big kickoff return that put the Cornhuskers deep in Kansas territory shortly after the Jayhawks took a short-lived 17-16 lead. And there were the two second-half penalties that extended Nebraska drives and led to 10 Cornhusker points.
"It was a hard-fought game," said Kansas Coach Mark Mangino. "Those kinds of things hurt you. You can't do that against a good team. You can't make those kinds of mistakes and let those things happen."
Nebraska scored on its first drive, taking the ball 58 yards in just six plays. On third and goal from the Kansas 1, Cornhusker quarterback Zac Lee stretched for the endzone, only to have the ball knocked free by Kansas linebacker Justin Springer. But Nebraska running back Roy Helu was able to fall on the ball in the end zone for the Cornhuskers' first score. They added to their lead in the second quarter when Alex Henery booted a 25-yard field goal.
But the Jayhawks' offense sprung to life. Kansas put together a 13-play, 80-yard drive, culminating in a five-yard touchdown run by Kansas quarterback Todd Reesing. The Jayhawks twice converted on fourth-and-one plays on the drive, with Toben Opurum gaining five yards on the first run, and three on the second. Kansas then tied the game 10-10 heading into the half with a 33-yard Jacob Branstetter field goal as time expired.
The Jayhawks kept that momentum going early in the third, driving all the way down the field, but Kerry Meier was stripped on a 16-yard pass play, and safety Matt O'Hanlon recovered the ball at the four. The Cornhuskers then drove 79 yards in 13 plays before Henery added his second field goal of the game, this one a 34-yarder.
Another Kansas mistake came back to bite the Jayhawks. On a big third down play, Nebraska was stopped short, only to have the drive extended by a roughing the passer penalty on Jamal Greene. A few plays later, Henery connected from 38 yards out, giving the Cornhuskers a 16-10 lead.
The Jayhawks came right back, traveling 89 yards in 10 plays, capped by a 21-yard pass from Reesing to Dezmon Briscoe. Meier caught passes of 19, 15 and 10 yards on the drive, while also drawing a pass interference call that gave the Jayhawks a first down on third-and-10.
But the Jayhawks allowed a big kickoff return, and a five-yard offside penalty gave the Cornhuskers the ball on the Kansas 31. Kansas then stopped Nebraska well shy of the first down on a third-and-long play but gave up a first down anyway when Justin Thornton was flagged for a personal foul he incurred by grabbing the receiver's facemask.
On the very next play, Helu found a crease and darted 20 yards for the touchdown. Lee hit Niles Paul for the two-point conversion and a 24-17 lead.
"It definitely was one of those plays that you wished you had back," Thornton said. "It's so disappointing because I felt like that's one play I could have made in the game … I sniffed it out and grabbed (the receiver), but I was getting blocked off by a guy and reached for whatever I could grab. They scored on the very next play and that hurts."
The Cornhuskers were then able to run down the clock, thanks in large part to a Helu 30 run on third-and-10. They added an insurance score with 29 seconds left as Helu ran in from 14 yards out.
Helu finished with 156 yards rushing on 28 carries. He had 12 carries for 86 yards and two touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Lee passed for 161 yards and rushed for another 53. Paul had four catches for 154 yards.
Reesing was just 19 of 41, but he didn't commit a turnover, and had 236 yards passing and a touchdown and 42 yards rushing and another score. Meier had 10 catches for 127 yards while Briscoe chipped in 77 yards on four catches and a touchdown. Opurum had 43 yards on 15 carries, many in short-yardage situations.
The Jayhawks (5-5, 1-5) will next travel to Austin, while the Cornhuskers (7-3, 4-2) will play Kansas State, essentially in a Big 12 North Championship game. That's a spot that the Jayhawks aimed for before the season started.
It's really frustrating," Opurum said. "It's not bad luck, it's a lack of focus … I honestly believe that we have the talent to be undefeated right now. But we've made small mistakes that we haven't been able to get past."

Quick Hits
- Jeff Spikes started his first game at guard, largely to tangle with Nebraska All-American defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh. Suh finished with three tackles, with none coming in the backfield.
"Jeff won," Kansas center Jeremiah Hatch said of the battle. "But we lost. So it doesn't really matter who won that."
Running back Toben Opurum also gave the offensive line credit, saying that they were "much-improved," and Kerry Meier gave the line credit for jump-starting the offense.

- The loss means that Kansas lost its fifth straight game for the first time since 2002. It also ensured that the Jayhawks will have a losing record against North opponents for the first time since the 2004 season.
- The seniors weren't the only ones to take the loss hard. Junior wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe said that the players practiced hard, and had been through the whole losing streak, only to see the team falter on Saturdays.
"It's tough," Briscoe said. "It sucks. We come from a bunch of winning programs, and we aren't used to this. To be 5-5 and fighting for a bowl … it's just bad."
- Opurum came up limping after a carry, but cautioned fans not to read too much into it.
"That's football," Opurum said. "You get bumps and bruises. I'll be fine."
Mangino didn't give an update on defensive end Jake Laptad, who left the game with an injury. Mangino said he hadn't checked on Laptad's status before the press conference.

Caterpillar (CAT) continued to dig itself a deeper hole with 2013 coming to an end, as machine sales declined in all regions for the second straight period.
The manufacturing, construction and mining equipment giant said early Thursday in a regulatory filing that global retail sales in the three months ended in November were down 12% from a year earlier.
Sales in Asia plunged 24%. That was the worst drop of any region, although improved a bit from the 26% slide reported for the October period.
Sales in the Europe/Africa/Middle East market slid 16%, worse than the 14% drop in October and the 11% dip in September.
North America sales fell 2% in November, matching October's dip and reversing a 4% rise in September.
Caterpillar, along with peers Joy Global (JOY), Komatsu (KMTUY) and others have seen sales growth decline this year amid a sluggish mining market and slower growth in China.
But sales in North America, which is seeing an energy boom, have improved throughout the year. The company reported machine sales drops of 11%, 12%, 11% and 18% in the first four months of this year. In contrast, sales for the last four months were up 1% in August and 4% in September, and down just 2% in October and November.
Caterpillar stock was down 1% in the stock market today.
Among other large equipment makers Joy Global, Terex (TEX) and Japan's Komatsu were down, but Italy's CHN Industrial (CNHI) was up 1%.

Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon.
(A.N This is for you, Yaz. Thanks for providing me with the inspiration to write this!)Tearstained Crystals
By Silver Sailor Ganymede
Crystal Tokyo was the utopia that man had always dreamed about. It was the most wondrous, peaceful and glorious civilisation ever seen in our universe, a place where strife, pain, loss, hatred, war and all other negative states had been forgotten and were thought to be things that existed only in myth. Or at least that's how it would have seemed…
In truth, Crystal Tokyo was corrupt, a selfish city lead by a proud Queen who was of Lunarian descent, one with no Earth blood and therefore no right to claim Earth's throne. Many protested against this, and those who did not heed her warning were thrown from grace to land in a Hell-like world. There was no peace in Crystal Tokyo, nor was it a utopia. It was not a place where all negative emotions were forgotten… no, they ran riot, man's passion and anger overruling his judgement. Do not tell me that I am wrong, that everything you have previously read is true and that I am nothing but a liar; I speak the truth, I know what happened; I was there, I was born in to the Hell that was Crystal Tokyo. I think you will know my name; all Earthlings do and they think me a heretic, a madman. My name is Diamond… Prince Diamond of the Black Moon family.
As a child I had nothing: nothing but my own faith and my love for my brother, whom I stood by through thick and thin. He was the only thing in my life that I knew would always be there, and it was for him that I did what I did. I joined the Black Moon, the cult of Wiseman, not because of a lust for power and a want to take Earth for my own; no, I did it for Sapphire, for my brother.
Of course, no one would ever record that in a history book. No one would ever say that the Prince of the Black Moon has a heart; no, they want people to believe that we are demons, evil, and heartless as the youma. In reality that could not be farther from the truth. No, I joined Wiseman for Sapphire, for my brother, in order that we both could truly live rather than just survive.
I remember the day I told Sapphire that I had joined Wiseman, that I was one of the Black Moon and that soon he too would be. I remember the silence that fell between us and enveloped the back alley like a shroud. His beautiful eyes, eyes that were as beautiful and deep as the crystal after which he had been named, were filled with tears. He clung to me and asked me why I had done what I had. I did not answer, merely kissed him and thus he fell silent.
Now you must understand me when I say that we were closer than we should have been. Why, how could our relationship not have been 'too close' by the standards of Crystal Tokyo? We were all each other had and so I eventually found myself loving Sapphire not as a brother should, but I the way a lover would. I may have appeared obsessed with the Moon-Queen, but it was not with finding her love that I was obsessed; no, I was obsessed with her death; I wanted nothing more than to seduce and murder her with my own hands.Yes, I appeared to be infatuated with the Moon-Queen and Sapphire feigned love for Prisma, the eldest of the Ayakashi sisters. Of course I felt nought but loathing for the Moon-Queen and Sapphire truly felt nothing more than friendship with Prisma, but of course neither of us could reveal our true feeling for each other.
But I digress, I must continue. I remember our time with the Black Moon, how we all served Wiseman as blindly as the White Moon served the Moon-Queen. I lost the true reason I had become one of the Black Moon as a lust for power slowly consumed my heart and soul. Sapphire was the only one who was not truly deeply affected, and I now know that my transformation from loving to cruel, from warm to cold, from caring to completely heartless, hurt him deeply. I did not see it at the time, but now I know that it broke his very soul.
And then it happened, the very thing which I had joined the Black Moon to prevent happening. None other than the one with whom I, in my foolishness, had entrusted our lives murdered Sapphire. Wiseman killed my brother, and it was all my fault. I should have died in his place.
I too eventually fell at the hands of the Wiseman and met my fate in the most unlikely way. I died protecting the child Moon-Queen, the one whom I hated all my life. I died protecting her from Wiseman, not because I had lost my sanity after Sapphire's death, though in truth I nearly did. No, I died protecting her because of the love I knew she felt for her child, the brat-princess whom Wiseman had seduced to the darkness in much the same that he had with many others including myself.
And so now I am here, between life and death, a tormented spirit unable to move on. For I am here in the fifth dimension for eternity, damned. I shall never find happiness nor love again, for he is gone from me. Sapphire is gone. My brother… my companion… my lover… lost to me. But I will always love him, and I will always remember him. I will always remember her loyalty to me and his love for me; I will always remember his happiness and how it shone through even in the darkest of times when we were children; I will always remember him, always, but most of all I shall never forget his eyes. His beautiful eyes that once shone as bright as the crystals after which he was named… but those crystals were tearstained towards the end, and I, fool that I was, did not see it. Yes, I will always remember his eyes, his beautiful sapphire-like eyes that reflected all that they saw. I will always remember those beautiful tearstained crystals.

Hey, I thought you wanted to do a Lab-fic *pouts*-
I have an idea of a Time Turner fic (okay, we have thousands of them) with Herm and Sev end up as Harry's real parents.. I thought it a bit more humour/parody (and romantic) like... I know there are ffs, where Sev turns out to be Harry's dad, but not with both.. I mean, it's amusing, when Sev finds out, he's Harry's dad (in the new future) and he has to be nice to him.., but I think Harry and Ron faint dead away, if they would hear, Herm is Harry's mum... I just don't come to write it, but if you want to, I'd be glad to read it..

Chapter 39
Traffic was almost none existent at this hour of the day. They took the seawall route because she'd wanted to get a look at the beach and then they turned northward rocketing over the causeway. The Saab purred as Myrah ratcheted through the gears. She loved driving it.
The astronaut next to her was another matter entirely. She actively despised Winston Wallace. She hated everything about the man. She hated his sweaters and his loafers and his square face. She hated the way that he talked all the time. She hated the sweet smell of wine on his breath. She thought he was a total bastard.
Myrah didn't like the way that Wallace had recently inserted himself into her life. She loathed the fact that he'd become friends with her husband. She dreaded his visits. She detested the way that they'd stand around like two old frat buddies.
They'd drink beer in Jack's study and socialize over that gigantic deer head that he'd gotten mounted on the wall while she hid in the bedroom or the kitchen trying avoiding them both. She didn't want her husband to hear anything about how she wasn't happy. She didn't even want to hear the sound of the astronaut's stupid voice in her home.
His comments that day in the grocery store had bugged Myrah more than she realized. As she drove him back to Shady Acres, she couldn't stop thinking about what he'd said. How dare he accuse her of being unhappy?
She turned, fixing Wallace with an icy stare. "Why'd you say that I was unhappy?" She asked. They were driving now at 70 miles an hour causing her to have to shout the words as the wind ripped over the vehicle.
He closed his eyes. "I don't know why I even brought that up." He said. Slowly he began to shake his head from side to side.
Past his profile she could see the factories and refineries along the ship channel. They belched cancer into the air. Gulls swung low over the marshes. It was still too early for heron.
"You must have had a reason." She snapped.
"You looked great breaking that bottle over that sign."
"You said it like you knew something about me."
"A car like this will ruin your hair." He commented.
She took her foot off of the accelerator to accommodate for a slow car. "Tell me why you think I'm unhappy dickhead!" She spat. The words came more forcefully than she'd intended for them to.
The astronaut sighed. "You had over a hundred different kinds of frozen food in your shopping cart." He answered wearily. "I didn't mean anything by the observation. It's just that you weren't shopping for yourself."
"I had nail polish and Greek food." She argued. "You told me to throw them away."
"That's grasping at straws."
"Well you're the drunk."
He looked over at her. "I've been into space." He said with a wink of his eye.
She eased around a tanker truck that had merged into her lane. The landscape was still all weeds and salt grass around here. She looked at the sides of the interstate wishing for a place with a nice clean quiet atmosphere to stop and sit down. She didn't like having to have this conversation as a shouting match with the top down on such a beautiful day.
"I don't see how space has anything to do with it." She said glancing over at Wallace.
"After space, everything else is a disappointment."
A blue metal building just off the exit had a sign out front that said it sold beer and lottery tickets. She made note of the number. "So you're unhappy too?" She asked.
He nodded.
"Well I don't understand what that has to do with me."
"When you're in space, you know why you're there." He said lifting his arm to point lazily at the sky. "You're up there and you've worked your whole life just to get up there. People who couldn't go are counting on you to tell them what it's like up there. They want you to do experiments for them. Folks who are in that rocket with you are looking to you for you to tell them what to do. You know your purpose in space. You exist in the moment. It's that way the whole time that you're in space."
"Are you saying that you think that I don't exist in the moment?" She asked.
"I'm saying that you haven't even found your moment." He said dropping his hand and turning in the seat to look at her.
She wanted to stop. She wanted to be able to stare Wallace directly in his bloodshot eyes while they talked. She needed to get to the bottom of what he'd said to her in the grocery store that day. It had haunted her. In her mind she'd thought that she was relatively happy person.
"Everyone has a moment." He continued. "That was my moment and it's done come and gone. I loved my moment and I want everyone to have a moment like I did. That's why I try to teach people how to love everything. If you're not full of love for every second of the day you might just miss your moment."
She pulled into the slow lane easing up behind an old beaten truck. "What's Jack's moment?" She asked.
"Jack?" The astronaut smiled. "Your husband has a moment every time that he completes a new shopping center."
"So you're telling me that Jack's whole purpose in life is to open shopping centers?"
"No." He said shaking his head. "I'm telling you that, that's his moment. That's his reason for existing. Jack wouldn't be Jack if he didn't have those moments. That's why he's a builder."
"So Jack builds things just to open them?" She asked with an acerbic curl of her lips.
"Why do you think he's a builder?"
Myrah shrugged. "He builds things to make money I guess." She answered, giving her hands a little flip on the steering wheel. "He's excited about building for the Japanese right now because he thinks it'll get him to where he can afford a boat."
"How long has Jack wanted that boat?"
"He's been talking about getting a boat forever." She growled.
Wallace nodded. "The boat is not his moment."
They drove in silence for a while. Slowly, signs of civilization began to emerge. The Peak, Jack's shopping center with the huge plastic mountain top that rose above its center began to creep into view. It was still too new to have good restaurants.
"I don't think that opening shopping centers is his moment." Myrah said. She moved over to let a van enter the freeway. "He pitches a fit almost every time that he has to go to one."
The astronaut shrugged. "Taken literally, you're right." He agreed.
"So what's his real moment?"
He laughed. "You're just doing everything that you can to avoid looking for your moment."
"Jill doesn't have a moment." She quipped. "Why didn't you jump on her that day?"
"Who's Jill?"
"The girl that I was with!"
"Oh her!" Wallace nodded. "She's got astronomy. You can see the stars in her eyes."
"She just picked that up!"
"She's very taken with it." He smiled. "I can tell. I'm an astronaut."
Myrah couldn't believe what she was hearing. This alcoholic buffoon who lived outside of their cul-de-sac and who barely knew them all was passing judgment on her over Jill? Jill was about as aimless as they came.
"You know that she bought that telescope for Thom?" She asked.
"Who's Thom?"
"Her husband."
He shrugged. "Doesn't matter. She's the one who's using it."
"But you just jumped my ass for shopping for other people."
"It's not that simple." He said boxing his hands. "You can't compartmentalize like that. Let me ask you this, do you ever use the things that you buy for your family?"
Myrah thought of all the soccer gear, computer software, video games and hunting jackets that she'd purchased. She didn't see the distinction. Sure, the girl may have been fascinated with the telescope but still she'd it bought for her husband at Christmas.
She shook her head. "I don't think you know Jill." She quipped. "She changes her hair constantly."
He lifted his eyebrows. "It's been the same style ever since I've known her."
He was right. Even so, Myrah was pretty sure that Jill had no idea what she was looking at when she stargazed. She was a nice person but she had never had a moment like what he was talking about. The girl was nothing but a pin up body with a bland personality who was searching for something to occupy herself with.
"What about Dan?" She asked.
"You're avoiding the subject."
"Screw you." She argued. "You tell me; what about Dan? He's a walking Ken doll. He doesn't even make the money in that household."
"Dan's got more going on than you think." He winked.
"Well I designed a sign!" She said pointing to herself.
The astronaut laughed. "That's Clara's moment." He answered without a hint of sarcasm to his voice. "She's the designer."
"Up yours." She spat. "I didn't steal Clara's moment."
He looked around at the Saab as if he was seeing it for the first time. "Honestly," He said. "It looks like you stole Clara's car."

Remember when we ran a cat-room-makeover contest in honor of Adopt-A-Shelter-Cat Month? The winner, Central Minnesota Animal Care & Control,
received $1,300 worth of gorgeous cat furniture from The Refined Feline for their new colony-housing cat room.
Well the makeover is complete, and what a difference! According to the St. Cloud Times, shelter staffers designed the cat room to look like a living room, painting the walls tan and adding a viewing window, a faux fish tank and artwork on the walls.
The Refined Feline contributed two litter-box holders designed to resemble end tables, two cat shelves and three cat towers.
Shelter owner Lisa Tenter tells the paper: "[The cats] love it. They're laying around, stretched out, letting me scratch their bellies. They would never do that in a cage."
The new room's impact is more than cosmetic. Says Tenter: "The cats will be less stressed in here. Less-stressed cats mean healthier cats." (Read the full article here.)

A bit contradicting here...
And Nyquist does not look like an elite scorer to you? Might want to check his stats out when you get a second.
For one thing, he's not really a prospect anymore. For another, his AHL production is good but not great. Hudler put up 97 points in his age 22 season, for instance. He looks like he will be a solid but unspectacular player at the NHL level. I favor Jarnkrok because there's a chance he could be a spectacular player.
I really have no idea, but I tend to lean toward the players with higher upside.

Editor's note: Minyanville Professor Rob Roy contributed to this article.
1. Stocks are firmly in a downtrend.
The S&P 500 is down roughly 20% from the market peak on October 11, 2007.
2. Corporate spreads are rapidly widening.
Investment grade bonds yielded as little as 0.30% more than U.S. Treasuries did back in 2003 - but are now as much as 2.30% above U.S. Treasury rates.
3. Everyone I know is saying "All is well, buy America."
The crowd is usually wrong at extremes.
4. European equities are taking out the lows of the year.
European large cap stocks are now down more than 28% after peaking on June 20, 2007.
5. The capital-raising window is closed.
Firms are losing their ability to raise new capital to sustain their operations. There have been several new corporate deals in the past couple of weeks that have failed to raise the desired amount of money.
6. Earnings estimates are too high.
Forward projected earnings are wildly inflated. This error in forward earnings estimates creates a false sense of security in stock prices.
7. While much of the move in financials is done, it should spread to other industries.
Financial companies provided credit to consumers in all forms (credit cards, auto loans, boat loans, RV loans, home equity loans, mortgages, etc.). Credit is the consumer's life raft: without it, he founders.
8. If the "best of breed" are missing their numbers, what happens to the real dogs?
Well managed companies (like United Parcel Service (UPS), Federal Express (FDX), Nike (NKE), Best Buy (BBY) and Fortune Brands (FO), for example) should do well in any environment. If they're not able to meet even their own projections, what can we expect for less well managed companies?
9. We are entering the worst part of the Presidential cycle.
In an election year, extra fiscal and monetary stimulus is usually applied by the incumbent party to "juice" the economy and help voters feel good about the current leaders. After the election, this extra stimulus is removed and the real work of making change usually begins.
10. We are at war.
On multiple fronts.
11. The consumer is tapped out.
Mortgages cannot be refinanced, credit card balances are maxed, retirement savings are now being exhausted and existing portfolio values are declining.
12. Corporate buybacks are gone.
Buybacks have dropped to a bare $1 billion per day on average.
13. Net equity issuance is very high.
Especially in the finance area, where new capital is needed just to stay in business.
14. Oil above $100 is very bearish.
This functions as an extra tax on beleaguered consumers.
15. The savings rate is 0.
From 1960 to 1985, the personal savings rate hovered between 5% and 10%. Since then, it has steadily declined and now hovers around 0%. When you have no savings, retirement is simply impossible.
16. The U.S. is actually one of the best performing markets in the world this year.
The S&P 500 is at 12.8%, compared with the United Kingdom (14.9%), France (22.9%), Australia (-18.9%), Germany (-21.9%) and Hong Kong (-20.5%).
17. Companies are technically insolvent.
From General Motors (GM) to Ford (F) to Lehman Brothers (LEH), insolvency is the order of the day.
18. Level III assets continue to grow.
19. "Credit rot" is spreading from sub-prime to prime.
20. The dollar is sinking to new lows.
The dollar index, a measure of our currency against foreign currencies, has now declined from 120 in early 2002 to an all-time low of 72. Our ability to buy things from the rest of the world is declining.
21. The Federal Reserve's balance sheet is impaired.
This is a result of accepting low-quality securities from investment banks in exchange for nearly $400 billion in Treasuries.
22. Mutual fund equity cash remains low.
Though they once hovered around 8%, normal cash levels have steadily declined to less than 4%. This means that mutual fund managers will be forced to sell stock in order to honor investors' redemption requests. This creates downward pressure on equity prices as investors flee.
23. Individual investors are now taking money from their retirement accounts to survive.
And that's just sad.
24. The market is technically on the verge of breaking down.
25. We've broken the 200-week moving average in the Dow Jones for the first time since 2003.
This is a very long-term and bearish sign of breakdown.
I could go on and on and on.
Of course I could be wrong: It's possible that funds will find a way into the market and will temporarily boost stocks, but I doubt it.
Risks remain high and, as always, being cautious will only lose you opportunity - not capital.

Post-Standard, The (Newspaper) - January 28, 2005, Syracuse, New York Friday, January THE POST-STANDARD PAGE A-9 FROM PAGE ONE Pasqualoni had ties to Dallas' Parcells PASQUAIOW, ROM PAGE A-l Pasqualoni as his linebackers coach in 1987 and was suc- ceeded by him hi 1991, said Pas- qualoni had other irons hi the fire and was scheduled to talk with other teams. "That surprises Mac- Pherson said. "I know he talked to (the 1 know he's talking to others, too." Pasqualoni was in Mobile, Ala., this week for the Senior Bowl, an all-star football game featurins manv of the top pros- Syracuse offensive tackle Adam Terry is playing hi the game on Saturday. Syracuse running back Walter Reyes was scheduled to play but pulled out because of a shoulder injury. DallasCowboys.com, the team's Web site, reported that Pa-ceHv jirid Jeny Jones, the owner and general manager of the team, were the first three days of Senior Bowl practices this week. A newspaper account in Mo- bile reported that Pasqualoni was seen speaking with Parcells and Jones. That conversation appar- ently led to Pasqualoni accompa- nying the two on Jones' private jet to Dallas on Wednesday night. Pasqualoni's relationship with Parcells is unclear. Pasqualoni was a frequent visitor to a num- ber of NFL camps each summer before the start of Syracuse's own preseason practice. It's like- ly he crossed paths with Parcells when he coached the New York Giants, New York Jets and New England Patriots. Former SU assistant George DeLeone said he was "thrilled to death" to hear of Pasqualoni's decision to join Parcem. "Coach P is a great coach." DeLeone said. "He to coach. He needs to coach. He'll do a great job." DeLeone added that Pasqualo- ni was a rare guest at summer practices when Parcells was with the Patriots. "Coach Parcells let no one, I mean no one, come to his prac- tices or talk football to his DeLeone said. "Every year, he let Coach P stand on the sidelines and watch practices. Boy, there's some re- spect there. I mean no one ever Yv'Cui to tuOSC piaCuCCi. I said no one. I mean no one." MacPherson said he knows Pasqualoni used to visit the New York Giants camp as an SU as- sistant and "hit it off' with for- _i-----1. Belichick, now the head coach ot the New England Patriots. "If Parcells wasn't there, I'm not sure he'd be MacPherson said of the Cow- boys job. Pasqualoni is a great football coach. He's going to stay in coaching, and 1 think a lot of people are going to be in- terebied in him." Reid, 53, stepped down as head coach of Division I-AA Richmond to coach the defen- sive line for Pasqualoni last sea- son. He was not retained by Robinson but was "extremely delighted" upon hearing about the Cowboys announcement. "I know from people who know Coach Parcells that he al- ways has admired Paul for his work ethic and bis body of foot- ball Reid said. "There were a number of other (NFL) teams who wanted Paul on their staff, but I think Paul and Coach Parcells are cut from the same cloth. Each is very dis- ciplined, very work-oriented and very committed to his players." "I think it's said Syracuse assistant coach Chris White, who was the only posi- tion coach retained from Pas- qualoni's staff. "I think he's going to enjoy coaching in the NFL. All the distractions he had as a head coach took him away from the things he loved the most game planning, study- ing film, that's him. Co-coach- ing is perfect for him. I think he's ideally suited for it."

A Texas law- maker introduced a separate BMI measure this month. Michael F. Jacobson, execu- tive director of Center for Sci- ence in tne PuDiic interest, said statehouses and city halls can be more receptive to health-promot- ing legislation than Congress, which is heavily lobbied by food industries. Though state and city programs lack the far reach of federal campaigns, Jacobson said they can still help.

This year, Walsh used the spending bill to direct more than million to proj- ects in Central New York, in- cluding S53.9 million for an ad- dition to the VA Medical Center in Syracuse. That largesse continues: At a news conference scheduled Syracuse, Walsh will present more than million in HUD grants to local housing agencies. According to GOP term- limit rules, Walsh would have been required to give up the gavel of the subcom- mittee this year, although he had officially asked the House lead- ership for a waiver to keep it. Walsh said he is confident that his seniority he's beginning his ninth term in Congress and his reputation among his colleagues will earn him another subcommittee chairmanship. An important man in deter- mining who will chair the sub- committees is Rep. John McHugh, R-Pierrepont Manor, who has been a member of the GOP House steering committee since Republicans gained the majority in the 1994 election. The steering committee decides other committee assignments, but generally goes along with the wishes of House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-DL, and other leaders. The steering committee had hoped to finish its work this week, McHugh said, but deci- sions were postponed because Lewis, the Appropriations chair, had not finalized his subcommit- tee structure. The steering com- mittee tentatively plans to inter- view prospective subcommittee chairs next week, McHugh said. "Seniority is important" in selecting subcommittee chairs, McHugh said, "but it's not the only consideration. A great deal of deference is extended to the so a lot of weight will be given to Lewis' recom- mendations. Walsh said he has spoken to Lewis "a couple of times" in re- cent days, and he hopes a deci- sion will be made by the end of next week.

He suggested, three days after telling a "March for Life" rally that he could see the "glimmer- child is "welcomed in life and protected in law that he was resigned for now to the contin- ued availability of abortion and that his role would be to show moral leadership rather than ad- vance specific new initiatives. "I think the goal ought to be to convince people to value Bush said. "But I fully understand our society is divided on the issue and that there will be abortions. You know, that's reality. Seems like to me my job is to convince people to make right choices in life, to under- stand thsrs 2T? to abortion, like adoption, and will continue to do so."

Golden Rays
For days it has been rain
dripping into my soul; the bathtub
through the leaky roof. My pain
is falling from the sky.
I am made of tin [rusting]
and the water pools inside my gut.
I am alone and I am lusting
For red clouds and golden rays.
The other garbage mocked me a while,
But finally I curled up
and recognized myself. Denile
Is a clever creature, more so, than the fox.

This talk will discuss how fast automated demand response can help mitigate grid balancing challenges introduced by upcoming increases in intermittent renewable generation resources in an environmentally friendly and cost effective manner. There are many different types of ancillary services necessary to keep the electric grid in balance; non-spinning reserves and regulation are among the most important. To date, only pilot scale field tests using AutoDR for these types of ancillary services. Though AutoDR may not be suitable for all forms of ancillary services, the lower installed cost of AutoDR indicates that it should be considered for use in the time domains and capacities for which it is applicable. By combining AutoDR with traditional gas fired thermal generation and battery storage technologies, an optimal mix of generation, AutoDR and storage should be considered.

Harvey Keitel Tries A Little Tenderness
Published: November 7, 1993
(Page 2 of 3)
Mr. Keitel is cautious when speaking about his career, his characters, his choices. He chooses his words carefully and speaks in a precise, even formal, manner. He has a tendency toward abstract ideas, and he sometimes expresses concern about the clarity of an answer even before he has given it. He seems to be watching himself from behind a curtain, directing himself.
When asked about "The Piano," and reviews that describe the role as a departure for him, he pauses for a long moment before answering. "Allow me to make," he says slowly, "what might be a true departure by what I am about to say. What is an interview about? What is it that I have to offer in an interview? I don't think it is to explain the character. The film speaks for itself. Jane wrote the text. Jane directed it. I think what I have to offer about 'The Piano' concerns Jane's writing that story to begin with.
" 'The Piano' exists on many levels. It's a complex text. One of the levels most apparent to me is that Jane has done what I have often seen men do -- i.e., a woman gathering herself up, taking responsibility for herself and her sexual needs and her spiritual needs, and taking action to fulfill herself. That has usually been the domain of the man. Jane has gained access to that domain. It's a man's world. I see it that way. And it's to our detriment that it is so. Jane has struck out in a way that has helped me to come closer to an understanding of myself and woman."
Mr. Keitel pauses again, then continues. "I am very interested in religious mythology," he says. "I'll try not to be too esoteric here -- but perhaps I should be. The interpretation of Genesis, the interpretation of the Garden of Eden myth by man -- not woman, by man -- has formed the thinking of mankind. The Christian and Judaic interpretation of those stories has dictated our morality, our social structure, et cetera, et cetera. Why is it a woman that's the culprit? What nonsense. What utter nonsense. It is that myth that for me Jane Campion has pierced. I think there's room for another interpretation, and we have to provide it. The Jane Campions are beginning to."
Born in 1939, he grew up in the Brighton Beach section of Brooklyn, the son of immigrant parents (his father was Polish, his mother Romanian) who ran a luncheonette. In those years of the 40's and 50's postwar boom, nearby Coney Island was thriving; the streets were home; an air of romance seemed to drift in off the sea.
"There were fireworks every Tuesday night in the summer," he says. "There was Mardi Gras in Coney Island then. I sold confetti on Mardi Gras when I was a little boy. The hot dogs at Nathan's were great. The colors of Coney Island were magnificent. The Steeplechase, the beach, the rocks, fishing off the rocks. Sneaking into Steeplechase, the fear of getting caught. Steeplechase was a very difficult place to sneak into."
Mr. Keitel's neighborhood seemed to begin and end at the boardwalk, the corner store, the elevated train stop, the ocean waves. He rarely left. "Everything was right there on those streets, in that poolroom," he says. "It was limiting only in that we had very few teachers to show us where that elevated train led to. That was our limitation. We didn't know the avenues of possibilities. Manhattan could have been the moon for us."
As he moved through his teen-age years, the limitations became more pronounced. "There was a huge concern over material things," he says. "Having a car, a new car. Buying a girl a diamond engagement ring. A friend of mine would buy a new car, and I would immediately spit on it. I would say, 'Why are you so caught up in this? It's only a piece of machinery.' The same thing I thought about buying a diamond engagement ring. Guys were like humiliated that couldn't afford a carat ring, or a carat-and-a-half diamond ring for an engagement.
"I was one of those that couldn't afford it, by the way. And something about that struck me as wrong. My perception began to grow that people were being judged by the amount of money they had, as opposed to who they were."
At the age of 17, he joined the Marine Corps. He likes to tell the story of how it was there that he heard his first words of wisdom. "One night in night combat training, myself and my platoon were out there in the darkness," he says. "You couldn't see your hand in front of your face. And some Marine instructor -- an old guy, in his 20's -- said, 'You're all afraid of the darkness, because we're all afraid of what we don't know.' He said, 'We're going to teach you about the darkness so you won't be afraid.' "
Back in Brooklyn two years later, he found the old neighborhood unchanged, yet different. He had a couple of good years with his buddies, but then a strange malaise set in. "I thought I did not want to be what I was," he says. He got a job as a court stenographer: "Just out of a desire to be just left alone," he says. "It seemed to appeal to me because I didn't have to talk. I could just be quiet, and type. But that only lasted a short time, a couple of years, before I felt the need to speak."
