...stenographer's notebook bears the label "Eric." It begins with Wayne Harris making notes about another parent's accusations that Eric has thrown snowballs, damaged a classmate's car, plotted against a friend's house, and was involved with alcohol. The father - or mother, the notebook's handwriting varies - writes, "Talked to Eric. 1. Snowball angry..." There are cryptic references to "Yelling, yanking on car door, being little bully...pushes, yelling...
...says arrests of Internet predators more than tripled from 2001, to 1,649 last year, and there have already been more than 1,000 arrests so far this year. Experts note that even with this increase--attributed in part to more resources being thrown at the problem--the number of online-predator arrests is still small compared with the overall arrests for sexual assaults against minors, which in 2000 was estimated to be 65,000 nationwide. Even so, that same year a survey conducted by the Crimes Against Children Research Center at the University of New Hampshire found that nearly...

The Americans were thus forced to play a man short - Italy's Daniele DeRossi got the gate earlier for trying to rearrange Brian McBride's face with his elbow. McBride looked like a hockey player who took a stick in the mush...
...tried to disabuse the audience of this stereotype. "Everytime I talk to a blogger, I hear about these cocktails," he said, wondering where his invitation was. Considering the lavish party Mark Warner had thrown for them the night before, perhaps bloggers should not be so hasty with accusations of schmooze. Still, schmoozing is basically harmless if it doesn't affect what one writes - and if bloggers are re-inventing the journalist wheel, they're still getting around to that one. At the Q&A Warner held with bloggers after his speech, the questions were respectful and sincere. The first...
