Chapter Three
I manage to cut off every form of communication Nathaniel throws at me. The constant 'how are you doing' and 'the weather's nice' and the questions about the tree and Sky only makes me want to punch his face more and more into a pulp. I concentrate on the trees, the feeling of the bark and the sounds of nature around me, and slowly Nathaniel's bickering feels distant and out of mind. I trail my hands along the rough bark of passing trees, trying to feel its sap, its lifeblood course through the wooden sinews that provide the homes of millions of insects and other animals. I turn away from the tree and Nathaniel's voice becomes flooding back into my ears as I pull a map of Kiloft from my pocket.
'How far have we got?' he asks, looking over my shoulder.
'We should be at the tree by tomorrow, but it's getting dark,' I note, looking up at the pink stained sky. 'If we set up somewhere and leave early the next morning, we'll get there quickly if there aren't any complications.'
'We're sleeping outside?'
'Well, depends, did you pack your house with you?'
'Then I guess it's sleeping under the stars – men like doing that, right?' I look around for a suitable spot to settle down, somewhere not too exposed but not too difficult to pack up and leave. After a few minutes, I finally find a small spot away from the main path through the woods, between two trees, almost too perfect to build a tent.
I retrieve the pancho from my rucksack and two long pieces of rope that I cut to two metres each with my knife, and then use another long strand of rope to tie off the hood of the pancho. After I locate the centre grommet on each end of the poncho, I tie one long piece of rope to each grommet, and then tie their ends, waist high, on two trees, like supporting poles. I grab three sticks, from a pile all around me, and sharpen them to a fine point in order to drive them through the grommets and firmly into the earth, and spread out the poncho in order to it to become taut. I repeat with three more sharpened sticks on the other side, until I produce a two sided tent. Sky taught me how to do this when I was nine.
I turn to Nathaniel, who watches me in awe. Was it so unusual for girls to know all this? Or maybe was it embarrassing that a girl is in charge of our survival? If it is the latter, then it is only half true. I'm in charge of my own survival. I kneel down and brush out the leaves and rocks from inside to lay a sleeping bag. I climb inside the tent and then into the sleeping bag. I wait for Nathaniel and ponder over what to talk about. I certainly don't want to talk to him, but this would only make talk inevitable. OFFHH! A sleeping bag hits me square in the face. I growl, and throw it to the side, and watch as Nathaniel struggles to get into the tent. It is almost insulting that I start to think he can't get in because I'm taking up much of the space, but he gets in and awkwardly gets inside his sleeping bag, that stinks of dust and ill use with several holes dotted around. The insects will definitely have a party with him. I pull my bag towards me, just in case something or someone comes along, and keep myself busy by searching the side pockets. I shiver when our arms touch. His skin is unusually warm and I regret to say that I wanted to wrap my arms around his to keep warm, but his heavy breathing puts me off and I reach for a small stick and concentrate on tomorrow's expedition.
'So how do you know all this?' He asks. I roll my eyes. It is impossible to ignore him forever.
'What do you mean 'all this'?'
'Well, you're only twelve, right, and you're like monkey survival chick. I can just keep my room tidy.'
Hmm…there are a lot of names I've been called over the years, and 'monkey survival chick' is certainly up there with the most, I must admit, original. The idea that Nathaniel could call me a chick is completely out of the question, but I let the temptation of hitting him pass.
'My dad…taught me. He said girls are easier to teach because boys just wanna pee all over everything. Girls just accept that there naturally are limitations, then focus on overcoming them, however long it takes, while boys think the world is naturally theirs so they don't bother.'
'I see.'
Talking about Sky makes a smile appear across my face. It makes this entire expedition worthy of continuing as I rest my head on my arms to reminisce on the good times: when Sky first taught me how to use a sword with a wooden one at seven, then a gun at age ten, because he told me children have to be armed especially in times of war. I remember the warmth of his large hands supporting my sword hand or when they covered my ears for gun practise. Sophie wouldn't allow it and introduced me to dresses, make up and all the girly stuff I should really like. But Sky encouraged me to practise, but when the cancer grew worse, the lessons became shorter and shorter every day until I had to learn on my own or with Sophie watching.
Nathaniel shakes my shoulder, jarring back to the present. I look to him, and my brows narrow. He looks panicked, his eyes wide.
'What is it?' I whisper. He gestured to something outside with his hand. I pause for a moment, my ears searching for sounds like satellites, and I can hear something not too far from the tent. Footsteps? Paws? Slowly, I lean forward, shuffling forward and going as slow as possible as my boots brush loudly from within my sleeping bag that may give away our position. I poke my head out of the tent.
Two full grown wolves wander around the main path through the forest, ten, maybe, eleven steps away from us. I wish it had be a person, at least I'd know how to deal with them if they became hostile. All we have to do is wait for the wolves to leave. I watch them for a moment, hoping they would pass, but two more wolves, then three more. This is a pack.
I can hear Nathaniel's heavy breathing, but I place my fingers against my lips for him to be quiet.
'We are going to be okay,' I mouth, and this seems to have given him confidence. His breath starts to slow down to a normal pace so I return to my thoughts. I look around and see my bag. There is a gun in my bag, but if it fired, they may attract more and more wolves. It isn't a problem for me, as I could climb trees, but Nathaniel might find it difficult. I was wrong about before: we had to look after each other and whatever happens to us happens to us. Biting my lip, I pull myself from my stomach towards my bag and try so carefully to open the bag and take out the gun. I press the cylinder release latch and slip two fingers through the frame, and find four rounds. Not enough but maybe I'll be lucky to kill the alpha and scare the others away. I slowly turn back, keeping the barrel down, and return back to my space. I keep the gun close to me, but Nathaniel jumps at the sight of it and grabs my wrist.
'What-?' I keep the gun close and pin his arm down with my elbow, adding more pressure until he finally lets go of my wrist. He flexes his hand as he pulls away.
'What did you do that for?' I growl under my breath.
He points towards the pack again, and I follow his arm to see two wolf cubs run towards their parents, yapping happily and play fight with each other and their parents. Oh, the Gods…I lower my gun down. I would have shot the wolves and orphaned the pups, like a monster, but…
'If they attack us, we'll have no choice,' I finally say, and raise the gun once again.
'If we show we don't want to blow their brains out then they may not attack us.'
This is a very different side to Nathaniel, or maybe he has always been like this and everyone, including me, has been too ignorant to find out. I keep the gun raised for a moment, but then put the gun down and watch the family. After a few more minutes, the family gather together and move on.
I'm running…running…running…along a rushing river, everything is a dull grey, even the water, even me. I don't know why I'm running, but my feet seem to have a mind of their own.
'Arianna!' a voice cries. It's male. It's now that my feet decide to stop, and I look towards the origin of the voice.
And then I see him. Sky stands on a gondola, pushing his oar and increasing his speed along the river. He wears a straw hat, where his beautiful blonde locks flow in the wind along with his beard that connects to his sideburns. He waves to me, but then turns back to what he is doing. My feet start running again the second Sky passes me.
'Dad!' I call out. 'Dad! Wait for me, please!'
He doesn't hear me. My voice has been beaten by his own laughter and the river's rushing waves. My feet finally stop, allowing me to pause for breath and watch to see where he has gone. He goes on and on until he vanishes. I blink twice, but all I can see now is sea foam shooting in the air. My feet start again, sprinting towards where Sky had gone, but I notice the river slowly curving downwards. Oh, the gods! I try and stop my legs. I hear it now. The waterfall. My legs refuse to tell my feet to stop. I scream at them! Stop! Stop! Stop!
But it's too late. I am launched over the cliff, a mighty steep fall that would kill me before I hit half way. I scream, my hands now scrambling on their own for something to grab.
'Arianna!' I look instantly to my left. Sky is falling with me, a wide smile on his face, and waves at me.
I wake up, screaming loudly, and find myself back in the tent. I'm sweating, breathing heavily, trying to remind myself that this is just a dream. My breath shudders.
I look to Nathaniel, rubbing my sweat away with my arm. He looks at me fearfully, his hands up.
'Arianna, put down the gun.'
'What?' But then I look down and find the gun held tight in my hand, ready to fire at a moment's notice. 'What happened?'
'You nearly shot me.'
I sigh, and put away the gun now into the bag. Nathaniel still remains stiff around me, as if I would return back to my frenzy and shoot him.
'I'm sorry, Nathaniel.'
'It's alright.'
'What time is it?'
'Round about seven,' Nathaniel says, looking at his watch.
'Then let's go.'
In a normal world, I would have been worried if someone suddenly woke up and pointed a gun with the intentions to fire, but the journey ahead takes precedence. I pull myself out of the tent, with Nathaniel following, and dismantle the tent and put it back into my rucksack. I look over my shoulder to Nathaniel for a moment and see him spreading his arms and legs out, a click following each stretch that makes me cringe. His shirt rides up, showing navel and below, with fine hair that stretches down and into his pants. He catches me watching, and I swiftly return to untying the supports from the trees. I hear a laugh, but I choose to ignore it.
As we walk, the dream keeps lingering in my mind. Sometimes I jump when I recollect the fall, but pretend I've tripped over a branch. Nathaniel is elsewhere, however, admiring the landscape but I have to stop him from inhaling anything hazardous. I hear the sound of running water close by, returning me back to the dream from last night, but I move quicker towards the sound until we reach a rope bridge hanging low over a small river.
I jump with excitement and make my way across the rope bridge, until my leg gives way on a weak step. I scream as my leg falls through, scraping my skin against the harsh wood, as my leg start to dangle loosely, advertising a free meal. Splinters dig into my thigh, and I feel my blood starts to seep down my leg and drip into the water below. Nathaniel darts after me and pulls me up to safety, brushing away any loose splinters. I hug him tightly, but then I look on towards the tree, and continue my way across the rope bridge.
At the end, there stands the withered tree, its roots snarled and twisted; its last leaf must have fallen decades, maybe centuries ago. The sweet smell of rotting wood and pine needles invigorates my nostrils, and I know this is it. We did it! I feel so close to Sky now, I could burst! I storm across the rope bridge, and face a small slab of marble with a golden plaque before the tree:
The Tree of Neveah, Heaven bless it,
hath questioned the deities and persons,
that hath left this realm,
and that doth confer with mortal kind, if they
command the greatly valued to discover them.
"No. Be them at peace."
I couldn't make heads or tails of it, but I step over it and proceed towards the tree. I think gleefully of what I'm going to say to him as I take out a clipping of Sky's tulip then place it against the bark of the tree. Nothing happens, so I press my ear against the tree, listening closely, but I only hear the insects that roam inside.
'Sky? Sky Lockheart? Dad?' Nothing. Tears start to pour from my eyes as I pull away from the tree, and look to Nathaniel who is now stood at the foot of the bridge, behind me. He smiles weakly, his hands tucked into his pockets.
'Are you okay, Ari?' he asks.
I don't reply, mostly out of embarrassment, and shove him out of the way as I make my way across the bridge to return home. This was a waste of time, like Sophie said, a pipe dream.
'Don't call me, Ari!' I roar. 'Why did you come with me on this?'
'I just-'
'Was it to gloat that this whole thing was just some pointless expedition? Well start gloating because you're right, so go back to your stupid little life, you little freak! If you knew anyone who died then you'd do anything to just have a conversation with them.'
I turn away and continue to walk back, my body tense and flaring, my hands clench into fists, into white knuckles. There is silence from then on, until:
'My dad's dead.' This stops me in my tracks, and I growl at myself for staying such horrible things to him. He didn't deserve this. I wouldn't be telling the truth if I said I didn't take out my frustration on Nathaniel. This is why I wanted him with me. He didn't deserve it. I turn to him, tears welling in my eyes. He stands in the middle of the bridge. Still he follows me after all this.
'I'm sorry,' I mutter. I walk up to him, our feet touching, and I hug Nathaniel.
'I'm alright. It happened a long time ago, and did you just say you were sorry? How did that feel coming out of your mouth?'
'Like lemons.' I pull myself away to look up at him. I forgot how tall he actually is.
'I just…I've already lost my real parents. I wanted this one to last. It's like it's happening all over again,' I explain. My mind immediately finds an argument to this. I didn't know my parents. I was only a baby when they died. I barely remember the orphanage, only Sara, my stand-in mother, but the Lockhearts took me in. They're the only concrete memory I have of a family. I suppose my idea of real parentage could have been open to interpretation.
Nathaniel's fingers start to wrap around mine. I furrow my brow at this feeling. My mind says no and my heart remains indecisive, but I let him wrap his hands around mine. That softness, like Sara. I tighten my fingers around his and then press my head against his chest. He doesn't smell as bad as rumoured. Like flowers and pine needles. I smile, and then look back up to him. My head's a mess right now, a mental war between my mind and my heart that I hope would meet a ceasefire. Reluctantly, I lift my hand to stroke his cheek, and in return I feel his hand move my rucksack to stroke my back.
I lean in slowly, and there I have my first kiss. With the boy whose face I wanted to punch. I break off, blinking twice and trying to realise what just happened.
'I…' but my voice trails off when a strange sound calls from behind me. Nathaniel must have already seen it as his grip on me grows tighter, like a human shield.
'It's the wolves, Ari.'

Woods sees game coming together after 'frustrating' season
(Reuters) - Time is fast running out for Tiger Woods to salvage what he describes as a "frustrating" PGA Tour season after three missed cuts, a withdrawal and just one top-25 finish in eight starts.
The former world number has plummeted to a mind-boggling 266th in the rankings, making him ineligible for next week's elite WGC-Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio where he has triumphed a record eight times.
Woods attributes his woes to a "perfect storm" of trying to work through the latest swing change of his career while still recovering from back surgery, but he said on Tuesday things were "starting to come together".
"I didn't think that it would take this long because I thought I would have my short game earlier," Woods told reporters at Robert Trent Jones GC in Gainesville, Virginia where he is hosting this week's Quicken Loans National.
"You can cover up a lot of different things when you're chipping and putting well. I didn't have it at the beginning of the year ... so that process of scoring has taken a lot longer because of that. But things are starting to come together."
Back in PGA Tour action for the first time since he missed the cut at the British Open, Woods knows his 2015 campaign could end earlier than usual since his poor form has ruled him out of the four season-ending FedExCup playoff events.
His only hope of qualifying for the Bridgestone Invitational hinges on a victory on Sunday at the Quicken Loans National, otherwise his last scheduled tournament for the season will be the Aug. 13-16 PGA Championship at Whistling Straits.
"It's frustrating not being able to win golf tournaments, not really being there in contention very often ... but I know how close it feels and I know I just need a couple of shots here and there and it turns the tide," said Woods.
"People don't really realize how close it is between a person who is winning (a tournament) and a person missing the cut." Continued...

First, let me be honest: it's midterms time for me, which means I am under a pile of papers and tests with no light at the end of the tunnel. Any humorous thoughts I have now have a dark edge...whistling in the dark, black, apocalyptic humor. Not the "gentle satire" and "Laugh like Sarah" humor I try to go for.
So it's a great time to do something I've been intrigued by for a while: a series of interviews for a week with some bloggers in the strange old/new world of "Christian Humor." Let's be honest, there are many people who think religion and humor are like oil and water: they don't mix. I think the right humor about the right things is essential to Christian joy, personally. But it's a tricky business! So I've asked about eight bloggers, who dabble in humor on their Christian-themed blogs, to answer a few questions about the connection (or not) between Being Christian and Being Funny. Some of the blogs consist of all humor posts. For others, the humor is a tasty side dish. All are active blogs and (I think) often hilarious. And no doubt, I have forgotten to invite someone eminently deserving: I definitely can't read all the blogs out there. So I apologize in advance.
First up! John at Locusts and Honey, a Methodist Blog "on faith, art, rabbits, and zombies." Welcome to the Catholic side of the blogdom, John. No need to genuflect, we're not in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament online. Virtual candles to your left if so moved.
Are there "BIG POINTS" in your humor posts, or are you just goofing around?
What makes something humorous, in your opinion?
What kind of humor crosses the line in your blog, if any?
I try not to cross any lines, but this post about Tookie Williams attracted criticism. I think that most of the criticism was a clumsy attempt to emotionally manipulate me. There's a lot of manipulation in the Church, all in the name of "reproving your brother", and we bloggers have to watch out for it.
What humorous post did you create and really like that just flopped? (Feel free to include link.)
How do you keep it up online when you don't feel funny?
Name one thing Jesus probably laughed about. Martin Luther, John Calvin, and John Wesley died and went to Heaven. They met St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, who gave them a tour of Heaven. Among the facilities was a small, non-descript office building. Martin Luther asked "What happens there?" St. Peter answered "That's Jesus' office. He still has a lot of work to do, and needs work space." Luther asked "Do you think that he would have time to talk with me about theology?" St. Peter responded, "I'm, sure that he'd make time for you, Martin. Go on in." Luther went into the office building while St. Peter, Calvin, and Wesley waited outside. About a half-hour later, Luther ran out weeping and wailing "How could I have ever been so wrong!" This disturbed Wesley and Calvin, but Wesley asked St. Peter, "Do you think that he would have time for me?" St. Peter said, "You betcha. Just go on in and ask to see him." John Wesley went into the office building. About a half hour later, he came out weeping and wailing "How could I have ever been so wrong?" John Calvin was undeterred. "My turn," he said, and strode into the office building. About a half hour later, Jesus emerged, weeping and wailing, "How could I have ever been so wrong!" [Funny--Catholics have a version of this joke with Hans Kung, Walter Kasper, and Pope Benedict XVI. See how much we have in common?]
Man plans -- and God laughs.
Thanks, John! Humor is exposing the Emporer's nudity--I like that.
Coming on Friday: Joel from Crummy Church Signs.

Jump Rope Training
Anyone jump rope?
I need to get my cardio up and thought jumping rope would be the ideal way for me to accomplish that since I can not run because of bad knees. I have viewed a few videos on YouTube and got some ideas but just curious to see what others are doing.
I also plan on alternating jumping rope and eliptical machine so I dont get bored. Thoughts/comments?
I jump rope between bag rounds. I can't really give any advice on it other than the speed will come. You don't really start out fast and if you try to go fast you'll just end up stopping every 10 seconds. Just let the speed come and everything will go smoothly.
any recommends on a rope.........:dunno:
I spent about the same on my everlast jump rope about 10 years ago. I started using it regularly again about a year ago. it has held up very well. I"m wondering what time increment is good in between pad or bag rounds, i usually go 3 to 5 minutes.
my bag training is 3, 3 min rounds with 1 min of rope in between because my amature mma fights are 3, 3 min rounds with 1 min between rounds.
If you can tear up a bag at high-full intensity and jump rope for recovery, there's nothing standing in a fight that's going to cause you to gas.
I do alot of jump rope, i think its one of the best cardio wise. I just always load up on the layers and head into the barn and do it till i start to shake
You can also use circuit style body weight exercises, keep it moving.
Oh and try weighted ropes, they kill !

I don't care if you're a vampire as long as you aren't an a$$H@!#Mature
I started giggling like a high schooler, not just any high schooler. I was the pretty girl who only had her looks. The one who thought the Dali Lama was a cloned sheep. I put my hand on his arm and dramatically removed it. Then giggled some more.
" Oh, look no bursting into flames! I guess you aren't a vampire" I exclaimed
" What did you do to me?"
He grabbed my hand and started bending it, twisting it. I didn't know what he was looking for but I hope he found it soon. My arm hurt. I was too stupified to do anything. Then I suddenly remembered I was a modern woman. Modern women didn't take well to being manhandled. So I started slapping wildly. He instantly let go. He looked at the ground like he wasn't worthy to look in my eyes.
" It's a rosary ring. You count the squares like rosary beads" I explained.
" Why are you wearing that?" He asked.
I shrugged " I like old stuff some of it's better than the new stuff "
" You didn't answer the question to you believe in Vampires?"
I shrugged again and said" I might as well, I believe in everything else."
He said " That's to bad, This would be easier if you were a skceptic"
I wanted to ask him what the fuck he was talking about, But he started pacing. He reminded me of a lion getting ready to bounce. Back and forth. Back and forth. I suddenly needed to see his face ,since I couldn't get into his head I needed to see his face but I barely caught a glimpse.
I adurptly said " What are you talking about?"
He suddenly gripped my shoulders, which now seemed smaller. Everything about me seemed smaller. His eyes were tracking mine. Mine were drinking him in.
" What if I told you, you weren't my type?"
So this what this was about he wanted to shake some sense into me maybe literally.
" I'd say I wasn't surprised but it's too late things are already set in motion..."
" What things?" He interrupted
" I don't know all I know is I had to talk to you"
He moved away from me, like he was uncomfortable. He looked like he was struggling to make sense of my words ,of me.
" So you believe in fate? I don't. I don't believe that things are magically going to work out... that... magically I'm going to want to get married, settle down...
I wanted to give in, really I did. My pride hurt enough already and I was angry because he attacked my pride. But it was my fault. I was letting this mean more than it was. I didn't even know his name. This was suppose to be just sexual.
" So do you want to fuck?" I asked
I don't think I could of surprised him more unless I said I was a vampire. The shock was evident and he couldn't seem to shake it. Suddenly his face twisted all up full of hate.
He spat out the words venomously " Did you forget to take your medication or something? First your all lovey dovey and now you can't keep your hands off me?"
He was the one doing all the touching. I wanted to point that I out. I wanted to champion my case. But I couldn't .
" Fine" I said resigned " Whatever is easiest, right?"
I turned and left. I looked in the corner my friends were vibrating like humming birds. I didn't have a story to tell them. So I decied to start smoking again. I made my way to the door. I cringed away from the sweaty bodies. It was so hard not to push past people. I needed space. I needed clearity. Something had started but it was over before it ever began. I didn't care if he really was a vampire as long as he wasn't an asshole, but he didn't even want to try.

Justice Debasish Kargupta extended the stay on the appointment of around 27,000 primary teachers till February 14 in connection with a petition challenging the process by around 1,000 of the over 17 lakh applicants.
The petitioners claimed that the School Service Commission had not followed the guidelines set by the high court in April last, wherein it was directed that applicants who are trained in teaching would be recruited first and then untrained applicants would be considered.
Justice Kargupta questioned why its directive of appointing trained teachers first and then untrained candidates was not followed.
Fixing the date for the next hearing on February six, the court asked the SSC authorities to explain as to whether irregularities have been committed and if so, why it was done.

ROXBURY Roxbury High School baseball coach Greg Trotter remembers what happened last year at Seton Hall, so you can understand why his heart skipped a beat or two last Friday when the last batter of the game lifted a long fly ball to left field with two on.
It wasn't easy watching Ryan Miller turn his back to the plate at the crack of the bat and race full tilt toward the wall.
But Miller found the wall, turned and picked up the ball and actually had to come in a few steps before settling under the ball and catching it for the final out of Roxbury's 8-6 victory over previously-unbeaten Seton Hall (8-1), the second-ranked team in the state.
All while the ball was in the air, Trotter was thinking about last year's 16-15 loss his Gaels had suffered at that very same field when Roxbury had taken a 3-run lead in the top of the eighth only to have Seton Hall come back and win it on a grand slam in the bottom of the inning.
"I thought this one was gone, too," Trotter was saying Monday night, after Roxbury had beaten Morristown, 8-6. "And then I thought maybe it would stay in the park but go off the wall … and then I saw Ryan camping out under the ball and got ready to celebrate."
Up until the point that the last batter made contact, Trotter's team had a lot going for it.
"Anytime you beat a team as good as Seton Hall, you have to play well and catch some breaks," Trotter says. "We did play well and we did hit well … but we caught some nice breaks, too.
"They would hit the ball hard, but right at us … and then our hits would find the holes. They say you make your own breaks, true, but a little help won't hurt when you're playing a Seton Hall."
Another factor in the game was Trotter's choice to pitch Ryan Casey, his No. 3 starter, who had no record going into the game.
"Seton Hall is a good hitting team that can hit anybody … every time they swing a bat I cringe because they're coming out of their shoes," Trotter explains. "So I threw Ryan at them because he has good control, is good at keeping runners close and has a quick move to the plate from the stretch.
"I figured if we could keep baserunners to a minimum and cut down on their running game, it would take away an important part of their offense."
Allows 7 Hits
Casey lived up to his part of the bargain with 5.1 innings. A three-run homer in the second inning was one of the seven hits he gave up. He also walked three and struck out two.
"I'll put Casey up against any other No. 3 around," Trotter says of the junior righthander. "We knew we'd give up some runs, but he did his job."
Casey gave up a walk and a double to open the sixth inning and Trotter had thoughts of lifting him.
"He was getting close to his pitch count and it looked as if he was struggling, " Trotter says. "But I wanted him to face the next batter, a lefty, before I pulled him."
Casey struck out that next batter and Trotter brought in senior righthander Chris Conrad to finish up.
"Chris comes from the side and is more effective against righties … that's why I wanted Casey to face the lefty," Trotter says.
The first thing that Conrad did, however, was to hit the next batter to load the bases. He got the second out on a strikeout and got the third out when he speared a line drive shot back to the middle.
"That was it … another Tat-em' ball for us … I figured we were in good shape," Trotter says.
Winning Run To Plate
Seton wasn't going to let Trotter & Co. get away that easily, however and, after Conrad got two quick outs, they reached the Roxbury reliever for two straight singles, bringing the winning run to the plate.
"All the highs of the game almost went out the window when that kid hit that shot to leftfield," Trotter says. "You can't believe how relieved I felt when I saw Ryan pulling in that ball for the final out."
Roxbury had jumped out to a 5-0 lead by scoring three times in the first inning and adding another pair of runs in the second.
Lenny Hoffman, who was 3-for-4 with 4 RBIs, 2 doubles and 2 runs scored, drove in two first-inning runs with a double after Joe Thompson drew a leadoff walk and Mike Cook singled.
Hoffman scored when John Lloyd, who was 2-for-3 with 3 RBIs and a double, grounded out.
In the second, Thompson and Cook singled and Hoffman drove in Thompson with a single. Lloyd followed with a double and the Gaels led, 5-0.
Seton Hall scored three runs in each of the next two innings to take a 6-5 lead but Roxbury came back with a pair of its own in the top of the fourth to take the lead for good as Hofmann and Lloyd came up with run-producing hits once again.
Thompson and Cook walked to lead off the inning and Hoffman followed with his second double of the game to drive in Thompson to tie the game at 6.
Lloyd followed with a single to drive in Cook with what proved to be the game-winning run. Cook was 3-for-3 with two runs scored for the game.
Miller, with his game-winning catch still two innings away, gave the Gaels an insurance run when he hit his first homer of the season, a one-out solo shot over the center field fence.
"I think it was the first homer of his high school career, too," says Trotter of his senior left fielder. "He's all of 5-foot-5 and maybe 110 pounds … but he unloaded on that one."
And then he saved his biggest "hit" of the day for the seventh when he ran down that long fly ball for the last out.
NOTES Roxbury participated in the Hillsboro Classic this past Saturday, losing to West Windsor, 14-2, and to South Brunswick, 6-4 … Roxbury's win over Morristown Monday afternoon leaves the team at 6-6 going into Morris County Tournament play … against Morristown, Erik Popson was 2-for-3 with an RBI and two runs scored and Hoffman was 2-for-3 with an RBI … Cook (2-1) pitched the first six innings to pickup the victory and Conrad came in to pitch the seventh for the save … Roxbury, seeded 10th in the MCT, was scheduled to play No. 23 seed Mount Olive this past Tuesday at Roxbury … the winner will meet No. 7 seed Hanover Park at Hanover Park on Saturday in an 11 a.m. start.

"That is all my existence is now." thought the man, "An endless trial of pain and torture". The man forced his eyes open, even this little act sent mental needles stabbing into him. The thing that was scaring him though, was it was getting easier to ignore it. His dark brown eyes flicked back and forth, taking in his surroundings. It was unchanged from the first time the Devil had put him here.
Where ever here was.
The man did not know anymore. He had lost all sense of location, and time, and awareness. For a while, he even thought he was going to lose his sanity. The loss of himself seemed to be the whole purpose of his hellish setup.
The room, though it seemed more so an open space, was dark like moonless winter night. The temperature seeming to vary between a heat that could burn the skin in moments, leaving nasty blisters and sun spots, and an intense cold that bit into the center of his bones and froze everything inside of him. The walls, if they could be called walls, seemed to be of solid flame and in a constant and maddening motion that warped vision and overwhelmed the senses. Spitting forth from the flames were ranks upon ranks of barbed chains, each ending in some form of needle, or clamp, or hook. Each end of chain found a home in some square inch of his skin, tearing and pulling at a form already ruined by blister and frostbite. To further shred the nerves, as the flame that made up the walls moved, so did the chains, twisting and pulling them. As the minutes, and hours, and days dragged on, and his body, nerves and senses grew more and more dead, the man realized this is what the Devil meant when he said no one survives this.
In the beginning, he cried and screamed and fought it all. In the end though, even his intense stubbornness wore thin, but just when he thought he would break physically and sanity-wise...
She came to him.
She had to be a figure of his mind, for he hate to think that his love was somehow sharing a room in Hell with him. She had been there though, a most beautiful glow radiating from her form. She wore just the simplest of gowns, hair flowing freely as her piercing eyes met his and her hands gently rested on his ruined form
Her lips did not move, but he could hear her in his head despite the jumbled mess of pain and insanity it was. Just hearing her seemed to cut thru it all, clearing his mind.
-Remember my love, why you are here...remember me-
He tried to respond, but by this point no sound would come from his throat and all he could do was silently scream in rage in being unable to talk to her. One of her fingers touched his lips, and he grew still, almost relaxed.
-It's ok William, you have to fight this and you have to survive this. Remember why you are here-
In his mind, he saw her. Saw all the memories he had of her. How his heart would thud like a drum when ever he saw her. How her lips were a most glorious heat upon his, making the world melt away to just the two of them. How she would softly whisper "I love you" in his ear.
That's what did it. That bundle of memories. Those most lovely thoughts of her and her touch. The man named William felt his heart and soul re-steel and his mind re-focus. His eyes glanced up at her and he saw her smile and nod approvingly. His eyes had told her everything. She leaned in and kissed him so very softly and for a moment, all was right in his world.
-I love you William- he heard her whisper in his mind as she pulled back and started to fade away, the fiery walls of his prison coming back into focus.
-Come find me...-
After that, everything changed. The man hardened his heart and steeled his soul. After that, he stopped trying to figure out how long he had been there. It didn't matter. After what could have been an eternity, or could have been a moment, the Devil appeared.
But he was not alone.
"Well, you are quite the impressive mortal, you know that?" the Devil remarked as he circled the man, the chains popping free of his form, allowing the Devil to pass close by. "You know, I thought there was a point you were going to just, pop, like all the other ones do. Most impressive. I knew you were the man for the job." The Devil laughed as the ruined form of William dropped unceremoniously onto a summoned table. "Now, the real work begins," the Devil said as his swept a hand out, motioning to the four hooded forms against one wall. "These fine artist here are going to give you a new paintjob per say, slap some good ol' Hell made ink on your skin." The Devil turned to leave as the hooded figured approached, but paused, "Oh, and by the way, you might want to continue holding on to that image of her. Like all tattoo trips, this might sting a bit." And with that, the Devil made his exit.
Hell made ink does more than just "sting a little", but as the hooded beings worked, the man hardly felt it at all. His nerves were nothing anymore and pain was just a friend to be greeted and entertained. As more and more of the ink was burned into his skin, creating odd shapes and designs, William felt his form beginning to pull itself back together. Gashes and punctures started to close over, bones began to mend, and in his mind, the black fog that had settled in it started to clear.
Once again, he had no idea how long he lay there, becoming covered in tattoo after tattoo, but at the end of it, William did something he didn't think he would ever be doing again as he slowly sat up, ignoring the scream of his still raw ink job and freshly mended scars.
He smiled.

START OF NANOMature
Start of NaNo~
In a small abandoned tavern, a door was blasted open. A girl ran in frantically and plopped down at the nearest table, tears streaming down her face. She looked troubled, as if an internal war was going on inside her. She hesitated for a moment, the former balance of the two sides now tipping and finally, with discrete determination, banged her fist on the table.
She scrawled something into the dust of the table before she got up and left. It said:
The Third World is coming.

Cleveland tight end Kellen Winslow was upset at Browns general manager Phil Savage for not contacting him while he was hospitalized with a staph infection. The Browns are apparently upset with Winslow for making his beef with the GM public.
Coach Romeo Crennel told reporters today that Winslow could face discipline for saying "things that he didn't need to talk about with the media."
Of course, the Browns put Winslow in a position to have rampant speculation about his condition by refusing to release any information about it. It turns out the team wanted to keep quiet that there was yet another staph infection in the Cleveland locker room. Now Winslow, who spent three days in the hospital, could be in hot water for expressing his frustration about the situation.
"We'll investigate it and determine if anything needs to be done," Crennel said. "My policy is to keep family business in the family. So whatever I do, I do and I'm not going to broadcast it."
[Editor's note: G.M. Phil Savage also has responded to Winslow's contention that Savage didn't check on Winslow while he was hospitalized. Taco Bill has the visual evidence.]

If I were a Browns fan I think I would rather see Heiden as my starter.

sandibalz says: Oct 20, 2008 3:18 PM
The Brown's organization is bordering on being very unethical…telling players to keep quiet about something that has ended careers is ridiculous. The NFL should be on top of the Brown's like white on rice to get the place cleaned up. Seriously, all we hear about is players safety, shouldn't that include medical safety in the locker room?
Wrathchild says: Oct 20, 2008 3:19 PM
Well, it's only fair, Winslow has punished the Browns quite a bit for drafting him.
Flint521466 says: Oct 20, 2008 3:20 PM
Romeo should focus more on trying to win a game.
bri715 says: Oct 20, 2008 3:20 PM
If they fine Winslow for his reaction to this fiasco, the Browns can forget about signing any new FAs anytime soon. Good God that front office is a mess.
tmx21 says: Oct 20, 2008 3:24 PM
Did Savage need to release the info? Doubtful, I don't think anyone would be surprised by Winslow missing a game for non-football related reasons.
Bucco Brewski says: Oct 20, 2008 3:25 PM
He pretty much said something that was completely obvious… I don't even follow the Browns that closely, but I know Cleveland hospitals = Staph infection.
It started with Bently, and can be argued that it was the reason the guys career is pretty much over.
brauneyz says: Oct 20, 2008 3:28 PM
So, essentially the Browns are saying, "We gave you staph, we let the world (via PFT) think you had big swollen balls due to an STD, and now we're gonna fine your ass for talking about it?"
Stay classy Browns.
AlexSupertramp says: Oct 20, 2008 3:29 PM
A staph infection………he must have really been scratching his nuts good after the Browns last home game. Remember Kellen, wash throughtly, then scratch.
PittPhantoms says: Oct 20, 2008 3:32 PM
Maybe they could take whatever they fine him and buy something to clean their Staph Infected facility.
ABROWNSFAN says: Oct 20, 2008 3:38 PM
dbag says: Oct 20, 2008 3:47 PM
So…help me out here. Did the staph infection CAUSE his balls to swell up to the size of grapefruits? Were the two unconnected? Or did he just not have grapefruit-sized balls…i'm confused…

the browns should be fined for their problem with staph and then fined for trying to keep it quiet. MRSA is no joke and it should be very well documented and communicated when someone comes down with it since it is extremely contagious.
Not looking good for their org.
NoWearMan says: Oct 20, 2008 3:51 PM
Back when he wrecked his cycle, kellen and his old man were up in arms about wanting to keep his medical condition "in house".
Now the browns do exactly that and this is how the winslows respond?
Pick a hand kellen, and live with it. (just make sure it isn't one of braylon's hands)

The soldier also made his wife sleep on the couch because she forgot to get him flowers for his birthday… what a puss.

Winslow must have some big balls ( he did for a while) to make comments like he did. He is part of the team and he needs to grow up and not feel like a sad "sack" about what he thinks is happening to him.
Joe in Raleigh says: Oct 20, 2008 4:08 PM
At some point the CDC will step in and shut the place down. It's probably better to take care of the problem before that happens.
ppdoc says: Oct 20, 2008 4:11 PM
that crying sound you hear is junior soldier whining because phil savage didn't call him to ask how his balls felt while he was in the hosptial. between manos di piedras who masquerades as a wide receiver (braylon), and I'm a f-ing soldia Winslow, they have a real dysfunctional family in Cleveland. Time to clean house Phil. Get rid of em' all and start over again.
MaceDawg says: Oct 20, 2008 4:17 PM
Bucco- Although the economy and school system sucks… Cleveland's hospitals are top notch… the Cleveland Clinic (where majority of the Browns are operated on) is rated among the top 5 hospitals in the world.
Joe Jurevicius developed his staph infection 2 months AFTER surgery while in Colorado.
The problem is the Browns training facility… where the staph originates.
IMO- both parties are at fault. Savage should have dropped him a line… but PS is known for not really giving a damn about players he did not draft (or sign). On the other hand K2 should remember the Browns did give him a 2nd chance after blowing out his knee during his famous impersonation of Evel Knievel.
billygoat says: Oct 20, 2008 4:23 PM
I don't know why he thought Savage would come see him. Doesn't he know staph infections are contagious.
Can they really fine he for those comments. The Browns should have to put in every players contract that if they get a staph infection they get a 1 million dollar bonus.
kosarsmyidol says: Oct 20, 2008 4:26 PM
I'd rather see heiden and Dinkins in than Winslow. The Browns have a rookie, Martin Rucker, who appears to have some of the physical attributes of Winslow, minus the baggage (that may or may not also be a swollen testicle reference). However, Rucker suffered an injury in preseason. If he gets into games and produces, given how well Heiden and Dinkins (and the rest of the team in general) performed, there'd be no reason to keep Winslow. He's too beat up to perform at a high level for a long time like Tony Gonzalez.
Let's just remember that Winslow was whining about his contract before the season started. Unfortunately, teams have realized that if they jam Winslow up at the line, he's a non-factor. Maybe he feels like he's doing more to earn his paycheck if he goes out of his way to talk to the media…
TransplantedFan says: Oct 20, 2008 5:26 PM
No matter what you think of Winslow, and lets face it, the dude's a whiner, he does actually have a good point. Why does Cleveland seem to get so many staph infections? Off the top of my head, LeCharles Bentley, Joe Jurevicious, and Kellen Winslow have all had them recently. I'm not saying I like the guy, but it does seem to be getting to the point where the NFL needs to figure out if the health of Cleveland's players are being threatened by something other than Hines Ward.
Westtexastexan says: Oct 20, 2008 11:26 PM
wwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. who cares.
cincy007 says: Oct 21, 2008 11:38 AM
You know they won't bench him. Crennel knows that Winslow is his only viable receiving option since Buttfingers Edwards drops passes.

It's always been said that the game is won in the trenches.
For the guys at a West Houston area program, they wear that statement like a badge of honor. At least that was the sound of things when we spoke with Katy (TX) Seven Lakes offensive lineman Davis Beard after a 56-33 win over district rival Mayde Creek.
"I believe it all starts with the offensive line. We have to go hard every play and don't let up," Beard said. "We believed that we could get this done. We heard some talking before the game, but we wanted our play to do the talking. I felt like I was going to beat my guy every time. And I went out each time to prove that."
Sounds like a man on a mission. And as the 6-foot-4, 270-pound Beard was plowing the path for his backs to run for over 400 yards on the ground, getting the win was his only and primary objective.
Then too, he does want to take his game to the next, hoping to make it on a college roster next fall. So far, Air Force has given him the early nod by extending an offer.
Anyone else?
"An offer from Air Force, that's it, but I have Navy talking to me and TCU and Kansas State," Beard said. "There are a couple others."
Beard said that he will look to make a few games when able, but with a complex school schedule, it makes it tough. But he said he will get out though.

This op-ed was originally published in the Hartford-Courant on December 19, 2002
When Connecticut's tax receipts were booming, it was easy to ignore the stranglehold that state employee unions have on the state budget process. Now that revenues have fallen dramatically, this is no longer the case. Given the state's $1.5 billion shortfall next fiscal year, the legislature can no longer shirk its responsibility to address out-of-control spending, particularly on government salaries, health care and pensions.
As summer activities chase flagella and mitochondria from the minds of Texas schoolchildren, parents and interest groups are preparing to battle over biology textbooks.
Today brings the State Board of Education's first public hearing on the new books, continuing a decades-long battle over how Texas public school children are taught about the science of life on Earth.
Weeks of Republican budget solidarity began to unravel March 25 as Senate
centrists capped the reconciliation growth package at $350 billion and siphoned another $137 billion away from President Bush's $630 billion tax cut permanency allocation.
Mar. 16-AUSTIN, Texas-With Texas facing a $9.9 billion budget shortfall, the
head of the state's largest business lobby is pushing what he calls a
sure-fire way to pay the bills without raising taxes.
Sell the future earnings on the state's $17.3 billion settlement with the
nation's largest tobacco companies for a lump-sum payment of up to $5 billion,
said Bill Hammond, president of the Texas Association of Business.
As summer activities chase flagella and mitochondria from the minds of Texas schoolchildren, parents and interest groups are preparing to battle over biology textbooks.
Today brings the State Board of Education's first public hearing on the new books, continuing a decades-long battle over how Texas public school children are taught about the science of life on Earth.
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. - Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards met friend and foe alike during the second of 12 scheduled town hall style meetings his campaign has planned for New Hampshire voters this summer.
More than 200 people attended the two-hour event Tuesday night, which the North Carolina senator said he hopes will give voters a fuller picture of who he is.
The Senate gave educators and economic development experts an
opportunity Monday to plead for no more budget cuts in the next
two years, but they had to share the floor with about 60 people
from an anti-tax group who showed up to oppose any tax hikes.
Senate budget writers allowed several members from North
Carolina Citizens for a Sound Economy to make their case that the
state should rein in spending, instead of adopting a lottery or
raising taxes.
About 25 school superintendents joined an equal number of
community college presidents and several UNC chancellors to
impress upon legislators that further budget cuts would reverse
the gains they have made in student performance and in training
workers in a tough economy. All three systems are seeing rising
numbers of students, but the money they get for enrollment growth
is ending up supplanting budget cuts.
"We cannot sustain cuts at this magnitude and provide for the
increased numbers of students who are coming here," said UNC
President Molly Broad.
But Dennis Riddell, a member of the anti-tax group, said that
the state has yet to get serious about curbing spending in tough
times. Riddell, 46, a father of eight from Alamance County, said
he has had to cut his expenses to get by, and the state should
"If that's proper for a family, I don't think it's foolish for
the state," Riddell said.
Others contended that raising taxes would hurt an economic
recovery. They said a lottery for education, as Gov. Mike Easley
has advocated, would send the wrong message to children.
One speaker, Andrea Harris, president of the N.C. Institute of
Minority Economic Development, said the Senate should eliminate
corporate tax breaks.
The hearing came as Senate and House budget writers remain
deadlocked over passing a budget.
The House's latest $ 14.8 billion plan includes cuts to health
and human services, education and other services that senators
say would cause too much harm. The Senate has produced a $ 15.1
billion plan that doesn't cut as deeply, but doesn't cover what
Senate budget analysts project as a $ 628 million shortfall in
revenues for the fiscal year that begins July 1. Those analysts
say the Senate could need to plug a $ 1.5 billion hole in the
budget's second year.
Senate Democratic leaders have suggested that a lottery or an
increase in the tobacco or alcoholic beverage taxes would help
solve the problem. But House leaders say they can't raise more
revenues, and they are using $ 510 million in one-time federal
budget relief money to get by.
Only a few House members trickled in to listen in on the
hearing. Two said what they heard wasn't going to help break the
"It didn't change my mind," said House Republican Leader Joe
Kiser, who sits on a committee of House and Senate members
negotiating a compromise budget. "We just don't have the votes in
the House to do what the Senate wants us to do, and we keep
telling them that."
About half of the Senate showed up for the hearing. Those who
spoke tended to challenge the viewpoints of the anti-tax
One speaker noted that she received a sound education in the
1960s though she sat in classrooms of 30 or more students. Sen.
Walter Dalton, a Rutherfordton Democrat and Appropriations
co-chairman, responded that education took up 70 percent of the
state budget then, compared with 58 percent today.
Dalton closed the hearing with a history lesson about one of
his district's favorite sons, the late Gov. O. Max Gardner.
Dalton credited Gardner for helping create the state's first
sales tax, which Dalton said helped keep the schools open during
the Depression.
"I hope we keep the same kind of priorities he had, because
education and economic development go hand in hand," Dalton said.
"As I said before, we're not doing a two-year budget. We're doing
a 20-year budget."
Education leaders told state senators yesterday that they can't handle more cuts in public education. Anti-tax activists told them that taxpayers can't handle more tax increases.
The senators charged with balancing the state budget said that they don't have an easy answer for the state's budget troubles.
Without an increase in cigarette or alcohol taxes or a state lottery, Senate leaders say they must cut an additional $600 million from the state's $15 billion budget - $300 million of it from education - to meet worsening revenue projections for 2003-04 and 2004-05.
"We've still got to cut around $600 million out of that," said Senate Majority Leader Tony Rand, D-Cumberland.
After three consecutive years of budget cuts, education leaders said they can't keep additional cuts from affecting classrooms.
Jim Causby, the superintendent of the Johnston County schools, said that a $25 million cut in the Senate's version of the budget would eliminate more than 1,000 teacher assistants, and a $25 million cut in the House budget would eliminate more than 500 vocational education teachers.
Dr. Stuart Fountain, a member of the state community-college board, said that faculty salaries are already abysmal at community colleges.
"If these new cuts do take place, we're talking about 3,400 additional (class) sections that will not be offered," Fountain said.
Molly Broad, the president of the University of North Carolina system, said that the system has had an enrollment increase of 14,200 students over the past two years, with 5,500 more students expected this fall.
"That is bigger than the entire enrollment of 10 of our 16 campuses. This is unprecedented enrollment growth," Broad said. "It is no longer achievable for us to protect classroom instruction. Each round of cuts has made it more difficult."
Cynthia McKinney, the president of the N.C. Association of Educators, told the senators that the 70,000-teacher group supports the call for more revenues.
"It is not OK to cut $600 million from the general fund, or $300 million from education," McKinney said. "We should not pit teacher assistants against vocational teachers.... We need more revenue for public education."
Legislators face a June 30 deadline to extend $384 million worth of sales and income taxes that are already part of both the House and Senate budgets. Both those taxes are currently scheduled to expire with the end of the fiscal year.
But 70 activists from Citizens for a Sound Economy, a statewide anti-tax group, told the Senate members that they oppose any new taxes and a state lottery. Members of the group wore stickers that said "Kids Yes, Lottery No" and "Don't Raise My Taxes."
"My budget was cut last year, too," said Jonathan Hill, the group's state director. "When you raised taxes, my budget was cut."
"If you don't have it, don't spend it," said Lynnelle Alsup, a member from Surry County. "And stop asking the citizens of North Carolina for more and more and more."
Members of the group voiced their opposition to a lottery as well.
"I smell the lottery rat around here somewhere," said Dennis Riddell of Alamance County. "A lottery sends the wrong signal to the children of North Carolina.... It would be a disservice for the state of North Carolina to resort to a numbers racket."
Roy Cordato of the conservative John Locke Foundation challenged legislators to put a tax increase to a vote of the public as they have proposed to do with a lottery. "Offer voters the same courtesy with respect to any tax increases you may propose," Cordato said.
But the Rev. Mark Creech of the N.C. Christian Action League said that he could support higher taxes on cigarettes and alcohol instead of a lottery, saying that alcohol-related accidents cost the state $3.7 billion a year. "Cigarette smoking and alcohol cost us all a great deal of money," he said. "If people are going to participate in the vice, they ought to have to pay the price."
Sen. Walter Dalton, D-Rutherford, a co-chairman of the Senate budget committee, said he hopes legislators have the courage that Gov. O. Max Gardner did during the Depression, when he implemented North Carolina's sales tax.
"That wouldn't be popular with many people. But in doing that, he kept the schools of North Carolina open," Dalton said.
Still, Republican budget and finance leaders in the state House continued to insist that the House would not support increased taxes or a lottery. "We've told them and our speakers have told them that we don't have the votes to do additional revenue," said Rep. Julia Howard, R-Davie, a co-chairwoman of the Finance Committee. "There is no will to do sin taxes, and I don't know that the numbers are there to do a lottery."
The U.S. Appeals Court, D.C. should either strike down Sec. 512(h) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) as unconstitutional or read it to permit subpoenas forcing disclosure of the identity of alleged Internet infringers only in the course of a pending copyright case, 45 business and consumer groups said May 16. In an amicus brief filed in RIAA v. Verizon Internet Services, the groups -- which included ISPs, privacy advocates and consumer organizations - - said the key issue in the bitterly contested litigation between RIAA and Verizon was "whether fundamental First Amendment anonymity and privacy rights can be trampled with an unreviewed subpoena that is issued based on hastily generated paperwork and rests merely on a 'good-faith' allegation of copyright infringement."
Although Verizon at first attacked Sec. 512(h) on other grounds, most recently it has insisted that the statute is unconstitutional on 2 grounds: (1) It authorizes federal courts to issue process in the absence of a case or controversy, in violation of Article III. (2) It abridges Internet users' free speech rights. However, the U.S. Dist. Court, D.C., ruled last month that neither argument had merit (WID April 25 p1). The court stayed both its order requiring Verizon to provide information on the subscriber named in the first subpoena and another order denying the ISP's motion to quash the 2nd subpoena, allowing the company to seek relief from the appellate court.
The 45 amici criticized the lower court decision on several grounds. First, they said, there was no basis for the First Amendment analysis that because alleged copyright infringement was the expression targeted by Sec. 512(h), the First Amendment provided minimal protection: "Proven infringement of copyrights is not protected by the First Amendment, but allegations of copyright infringement are inherently no more reliable than allegations of obscenity, defamation or other types of unprotected speech." Copyright law necessarily implicates free speech, amici said, because it places significant restrictions on public debate and expression of ideas.
The groups said, the court was wrong to suggest that Sec. 512(h) didn't directly affect political and other speech entitled to First Amendment protection by forcing disclosure of someone's identity and to "bless" the statute's "supposed procedural safeguards" as adequate to protect a user's speech and rights of association.
The DMCA subpoena violates the Fifth Amendments's Due Process Clause, the groups said, because it: (1) Substantially affects private interests such as privacy and the right to anonymous speech. (2) Carries a substantial risk of being either misused or mistakenly applied to Internet users who aren't involved in infringement. (3) Wouldn't offend the legitimate interests of the govt. and content owners if additional safeguards were put in place. (4) Fails to require notice to individuals whose personal information is subpoenaed, give them an opportunity to be heard and to require prior judicial determination before process is issued.
"After canvassing the area, the consumer amici cannot find a single state of federal statute or rule that permits a court subpoena to impinge upon First Amendment rights without either a lawsuit being filed (also required by Article III) or prior court approval," the groups wrote. To sidestep the "case or controversy" problem, they said, the appeals court should interpret Sec. 512(h) as "creating a supplemental subpoena procedure" that applies only in pending copyright infringement suits.
Last week, Public Citizen urged the appeals court to make RIAA and Verizon follow the same procedures to protect Internet anonymous speech that courts had required in other cases (WID May 19 p8).
On May 16 the D.C. Circuit gave RIAA until June 13 to file its brief and until June 20 to file its amici. Verizon's reply is due July 3, final briefs July 11. The case is set for oral argument Sept. 16 at 9:30 a.m.

FileZilla (FTP) for Beginners
Transferring files through FileZilla may seem like a simple process to most students, but those of us who spent the most time in the computer lab needed a little extra help with the basics of the program. Although Flavio does an excellent job of explaining the program in lab, I found that I needed quite a bit of practice to finally understand the program.
So because of this, I have decided to create a short FileZilla post about which problems are the most common and how to avoid them.
- First of all, the program can be downloaded on your own computer from the Internet and it is free, so that is helpful when considering you will be working with it most every week.
- To begin using the site you need your Address, Username, and password. This is the address you created from justhost.com for example, "www.brucehoppe.com." And the username and password are the information that justhost.com emailed to you.
- Next, it is important to understand the layout of the site. On the left side is the information for the "Local Site" or the site you have saved on your computer in, for example, Dreamweaver. You can see exactly what the file name is by looking at the files listed right next to the "Local Site" heading. The file name of your project is important because that is what you must type in to the URL bar when you wish to view your site online.
- For example, you may think you labeled your site lab6. In this case the correct URL would be "www.brucehoppe.com/CS103/lab6.html." However, you may have accidentally labeled the folder twice as lab 6 (in which case it would appear as www.brucehoppe.com/lab6/lab6.html.) And/ or, you may have "unzipped" a template (for example called: Garden), which became part of the filename, making the "Local Site" location in FileZilla appear "www.brucehoppe.com/CS103/lab6/lab6/Garden.html.
- The lesson from these complications is that you must ALWAYS remain very systematic and accurate in your file naming and know exactly where you are placing your files. Remember to always use lowercase letters and NEVER use spaces.
- Next, take a look at the right side of the screen where the "Remote Site" information exists. This is where you will drag the files you have saved on your "Z drive" in your computer and move them to the "public_html" file. Be careful that you choose exactly where you would like to upload the files. By this I mean, do not simply drag them into the "public_html" file but click on this file first and then choose your "CS103" folder, and then make sure you have the lab(#) folder you wish to deliver your new files into.
- Let's say you have finished your Lab 5 and want to upload it to the web. You can right click after you have clicked on "CS103" and then create a new "lab5" folder inside of the CS103 folder in the "Remote Site" portion of FileZilla. The "Remote Site" bar should now say "brucehoppe/com/CS103/lab5." After this, you drag your "lab5" from the "Local Site" to the "lab5" in the "Remote Site." This is how you upload a site to the Internet. You can now view your site online.
Problems you may encounter:
- A lack of pictures on your site— Everything is in its place on your site except for the pictures, which are not appearing. The solution for this is to drag the "images" folder from the "Local Site" to the "Remote Site." You probably did not upload this file the first time.
- A lack of format in your site— Another problem you may encounter is that you can see the site perfectly when viewing it on your Z drive, but it does not appear in its proper format when you upload it online. The solution to this problem may be that you have not uploaded the template, which is the format for your site.
- Your site does not appear when you type in the URL– If your site does not appear when you are writing in the URL you think it should be found out then you have 1.) either not published the site correctly or at all. In this case, review your steps in Filezilla and make sure you transferred the files correctly. Or 2.) you published the site to a different file location. By this I mean that you may have accidentally put it in a different folder than you meant to or added a capital letter where you did not realize, thereby naming the file incorrectly. An easy way to find out where FTP published your site is to look at the bar above the "Remote Site" section. These file names are the directories that the URL must go through to get to your site. The sequence of file names in the bar will tell you the correct URL of your site.
- For both problems 1 and 2, the solution is file transferring. Everything must be contained and encompassed by your lab(#) folder if you want to drag that specific folder from your "Local Site" to the "Remote Site" of FileZilla. If part of your site is showing up online, the problem is probably that you forgot to drag all of the files that you used in your site.
- Another tip: Make sure you regularly refresh your FileZilla page to ensure that your updates to both the "Local Site" and "Remote Site" are accurate.
Here is a helpful FileZilla tutorial for further information: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yr_u2iKfAt0
