In September 2009, three people — Deborah Moyer, Jamie Clark Ballard and Brandy Clark Williams — gave affidavits claiming to have seen Terry Hobbs with the three murder victims outside the Hobbs home at 6:30 PM on May 5, 1993. Jamie Clark was 13 at the time of the murders; Brandy Clark was 11 or 12; Deborah Moyer is their mother. They all lived at 1609 S. McAuley Street, four doors east of the Hobbs house (1601 S. McAuley Street).
If true, this would make Moyer and the Clark girls the last people to see the murdered boys alive. And if true, this sighting would lend great credence to the case against Terry Hobbs (stepfather of Steve Branch) as the real killer.
Here's what the three new witnesses declared in 2009 (links go to PDF files):
Approximately between 5:30 and 6:30 PM, I saw Stevie Branch, Michael Moore and Christopher Byers playing in my backyard. […] The boys were just playing and screwing around. Stevie was riding a bike. There was also a bayou and a ditch in the backyard. […] Stevie, Michael and Christopher were playing around the ditch. […]
At 6:30 PM on May 5, 1993, which was a Wednesday, my sister and I went out the front door of my house to go out to the car to meet the people who were picking us up to take us to Wednesday night youth group. As I came out into the front yard, I saw Stevie Branch, Michael Moore, and Christopher Byers come racing between my house and the house next door that was in the direction of the Hobbs' house. […] While I was out in the front yard in the evening of May 5, 1993, Terry Hobbs hollered at Stevie, Michael and Christopher to get back down to the Hobbs' house.
On May 5, 1993, around 6:30 PM, my sister Jamie and I were leaving our house to meet the youth group coordinators who were picking us up to drive us to our church youth group meeting. As we were walking down the driveway, I remember seeing Stevie Branch come out of our backyard, around the side of our house, riding his bicycle. Christopher Byers and Michael Moore were running behind Stevie, going in the same direction. […] As we were getting in the youth group coordinators' car, I remember seeing Stevie's dad standing in the driveway of his house, a few doors down, while Stevie's little sister was riding a three—wheeler in the driveway. Stevie's dad then yelled to the boys to "come back down" to his house, and the boys went in that direction toward him.
On May 5, 1993, approximately between 5:30 and 6:30 PM, I looked out a window in the back of my house and saw three little boys, including the blond boy that lived down the street, playing in my backyard. I knew these boys because I had seen them playing in my backyard before. My backyard backs up to a bayou and there is a ditch that runs along the bayou. […]
At approximately 6:30 PM on May 5, 1993, when I saw that my daughters' ride was out front, I walked out the front door with Jamie and Brandy to see them off and to say hello to the sponsors. I was going to then go around the corner of the house and tell the boys not to play in the backyard. As I walked out the front door, though, I saw the three boys who had been playing in my backyard, including the blond one who lived down the street, come through between my house and the house to the left of mine (to the left if you were walking out my front door). The blond one was on a bike and the other two were running behind him. At this same time, as I was in front of my house seeing the boys go by between the houses, I saw the man who lived down the street with the blond boy, whom I believed to be the blond boy's father, yelling for the three boys to get down to his house. He was walking up the sidewalk talking loud to the little blond boy and telling all the boys to get down to his house.
There are obvious reasons to be suspicious of the Ballard-Williams-Moyer affidavits. They waited 16+ years before telling anyone. Even then they didn't contact law enforcement, they contacted the defense, which had been running local billboards offering a six-figure reward for new information. Their memories are incredibly detailed for something that happened at a specific date and time 16 years earlier.
Ballard and Moyer both address the first issue in their affidavits. Why didn't they share this information with the police back in May 1993?
Jamie Clark Ballard: "Following the murders, I was aware that there was a search in West Memphis for the killer or killers. I also knew that the West Memphis Three were convicted of the murders. However, I was not aware until very recently that Terry Hobbs has repeatedly stated that he did not see Stevie, Michael, or Christopher at all on the evening of May 5, 1993."
Deborah Moyer: "I could never understand why no police officer ever came to interview me or my daughters. In fact, I never saw any police officers canvassing the neighborhood interviewing folks about the murders. Of course, had I known that I or my daughters had any information that was important to the investigation of the murders I would have gone to the police. However, I did not know that the fact that those little boys were in my backyard around 6:30 PM on May 5, 1993 was significant. I also did not know that the fact that I saw the father of the blond boy calling the kids that night to come down to his home was significant. If I had known that, or if I had known that my daughters had any important information, I would have contacted the West Memphis Police Department immediately and we would have told them what we knew."
These explanations stretch credulity. A neighbor's child was murdered; Jamie was close friends with another victim's brother; the children were last seen alive around 6:00-6:30 pm; the investigation, arrests and trials were headline news for ten months — and it never once occurred to them that their information was relevant?
Maybe Moyer never saw police in the neighborhood, but they were definitely there. Mr & Mrs Milton Morgan (1605 S. McAuley Street) lived in between the Moyer-Clark house and the Hobbs house. WMPD detective Stan Burch interviewed the Morgans and the Hobbs on May 12 about a young man named Bobby DeAngelo. That line of investigation led to the Morgan's son Christopher becoming a top suspect. Even if police never knocked on their door, Moyer and the Clark girls could have contacted police on their own. Hundreds of other people did.
The biggest problem with the Ballard-Williams-Moyer affidavits is that they contradict so many eyewitness reports from 1993. Investigators naturally attempted to track the locations and movements of the three victims before they disappeared on May 5. Here are the major witnesses:
John Mark Byers (interrogation 19 May 1993): "When I left the house at 5:30, I left Christopher under the carport with instructions to pick up paper under the carport and clean up the carport." When JMB arrived home again at 6:15, Christopher was gone.
Melissa Byers (testimony at Misskelley trial): Last saw Christopher "On our carport […] around five-thirty, quarter to six." Sometime later, before JMB arrived back home, "I went outside hollering for him and he was gone out of the yard."
Kim Williams (age 8; police interview 8 May 1993): "stated that between 5:30 and 6:00 PM on 5-5-93 she saw Steve and Michael going into Robin Hood into the ditch that goes to the Devil's Den area. She stated that she also saw their bicycles parked by the road near Goodwin. […] Kim stated that she never saw Christopher that day."
Debra O'Tinger (lived at 1309 Goodwin; talked to police multiple times, testified at both trials):
(undated police note) "Saw all 3 boys at approx 5:30 or 6:00 PM (5:45 PM) were riding in her yard. Told them not to ride in the yard. Last seen headed toward the trails."
(handwritten statement for police 30 June 1993): "On Wed May 5, 1993, around 5:30 pm Michael Moore, Steven Branch & Christopher Byers were in the front of my yard. Steve Branch rode the bike in my yard and was running by my small trees we (me – my husband) had just planted. I told the boys could they please get out of my yard and ride on the side walk cause my ground was wet. […] By then when we [Debra & husband] left at 6:00 pm they Christopher, Michael, Steven had went in the wooded area (dead in street). That was the last I saw of them." [[Note: "dead in street" probably = "dead end street".]]
Dana Moore (testimony at Misskelley trial):
Q: Later did you see him with somebody else besides Steve Branch?
A: Yes, sir. Chris Byers.
Q: Where did you see them at that time?
A: Going north on 14th Street.
Q: Were they walking or – –
A: They were riding their bikes.
Q: How many bikes were there?
A: There was two bikes.
Q: Who was on what bike?
A: Michael was on his. Chris was on Steve's, and Steve was on his.
Q: So Chris and Steve were on the same bicycle?
A: Yes, sir.
Q: How far down were they from where you were?
A: Approximately six houses.
Q: What time of the day was it?
A: Six o'clock.
Q: Did you see him any after that?
A: No, sir.
Bryan Woody (talked to John Mark Byers and Gary Gitchell on 5/6 afternoon before bodies were found; testified at E/B trial):
(undated police notes): "Subject stated that around 6:30 – 6:45 he observed 4 w/m with two bycycles going into the Robinhood area off of Goodwin. He stated his mother lives on Goodwin and he works at Radio World and that he remembers 1 of the boys to have blond hair in a spike because his little boy has the same hair style. He stated he grew up in the area + as a kid played in the Robin Hood area." [At E/B trial, Woody testified that this undated note referred to conversation he had with a police officer, possibly Gitchell, on May 6. Handwriting looks more like Mike Allen.]
(Report by Hester 28 May 1993): "On 5-5-93 at approx. 6:30 P.M. Bryan got off work from Don's Super Shine and was on his way to his mothers at 1823 Goodwin – went to Barton to Goodwin – turned on Goodwin by East Jr. High. At the dead end of Goodwin by N. 14th he observed 4 W/Ms – 1 was carrying a skate board and 2 bikes going into the dead end toward Robin Hood Hills. Just saw the backs of the boys but from the back one looked like Steven Branch because of the blond spiked hair. [After lunch with mom on 5/6,] he left and went to 14th + Barton and told John Mark Byers what he had seen. They asked if he would help them look – he went and got a 3 wheeler + helped search."
Bryan Woody gave police another statement in September 1993, then testified at the Echols/Baldwin trial in 1994.
In his 5/19/93 interrogation, John Mark Byers described his encounter with Bryan Woody:
That Thursday evening was probably like 6 … no it wasn't even that late. They were still searching. They hadn't found the boys yet. It was a little after lunch time. And I, this fellow talked to Gitchell. But it was a white guy, kind of chunky, heavy-set, had kind of shoulder length wavy hair and said when he had come home the night before 6:30, quarter 'til 7, something like that, that when he drove by there, he had seen 4 people and 2 bicycles. And I thought, you know, are you sure it was 4? He said yeah, it was 4. And that's when we were right there at my house and I think Gitchell pulled up and I went over and said, Gary there's a guy that saw 'em. And I think he went and talked to the guy right there. But during the day, the guy was on a like a 180 or a 250 red 3-wheeler helping us look through the day. Kind of heavy-set […] looked maybe to be, I'm going to say 22, 23. But he said he saw 4 people.
According to his subject description form, Bryan Woody was white, 20 years old, 5'8″, 205 pounds. He definitely fits Byers' description of the guy he talked to.
Here's a map to help sort out the various sightings. (B=Byers, M=Moore, H=Hobbs/Branch, C=Moyer/Clark, O=O'Tinger homes; W=location described by Woody.)
Ballard and Moyer both claim they saw the three murdered boys playing in their backyard between 5:30 and 6:30 PM. It's not impossible to make that claim jibe with the 5:30-6:00 PM sightings by Kim Williams, Debra O'Tinger, Melissa Byers and Dana Moore. These were energetic 8-year-olds on bicycles, after all.
But there's no possible way to make the Moyer-Clark sighting of the three boys in their driveway at 6:30 PM jibe with Bryan Woody's sighting of the three boys at Goodwin & N. 14th at 6:30-6:45 PM. If Ballard, Williams and Moyer recollect that evening correctly and honestly, then Bryan Woody was lying back in 1993. If Bryan Woody was telling the truth on May 6, 1993, then Ballard, Williams and Moyer are lying.
So the question really boils down to: Which witness is more believable? The guy who told the missing child's parent and the police what he saw on May 6, before the bodies were discovered? Or the people who waited 16 years to talk?

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein has warned that an increasingly grave human rights crisis has gripped Burundi, with potentially very serious regional repercussions. Zeid last night appealed to the Security Council to explore all possible options to prevent further violence, including asset freezes, travel bans and other steps to stop the ongoing violence and prevent a regional conflict.
Burundian President Nkurunziza last week set an ultimatum for Burundians to hand in all weapons, warning that those who would not do so would be dealt with as "enemies of the nation." The President of the Senate recently ordered local authorities to identify "elements which are not in order" and to report them to the police to be dealt with. He also called on the police to get ready to finish the work.
"Phrases such as these recall language that this region has heard before, and should not be hearing again. They could signal the imminence of much worse, and more widespread, violence," Zeid warned.
Within Burundi, and particularly in Bujumbura, there have been increasing numbers of extrajudicial killings documented in recent months, including multiple alleged political assassinations, Zeid told the Security Council. At least 240 people have been killed since protests began in April. There have been hundreds of cases of arbitrary arrest and detention in the past month alone, targeting members of the opposition, journalists, human rights defenders and their families, people attending the funerals of those who have been killed, and inhabitants of neighbourhoods perceived to be supportive of the opposition. People who express divergent views from the Government continue to live in a climate of intense fear, and the spectre of more bloodshed is driving ordinary Burundians out of their homes.
"To make matters worse, it is reported that armed groups are recruiting in some refugee camps in neighbouring countries, and that agents of the Burundi Government are also present to identify opponents. These and other signs of a suddenly escalating regionalisation of this crisis lead me to emphasise that host countries must ensure the camps are duly protected and remain civilian in nature," Zeid said.
Informing the Security Council that Burundi is at "a crucial and extremely dangerous tipping point," the High Commissioner urged it to keep Burundi at the top of its agenda, and to explore all possible options to prevent further violence, including steps to freeze the assets of those who incite or engage in violence, and possible travel bans.
"The Council may also wish to consider invoking Chapter VII of the Charter, to stop the ongoing violence and prevent a regional conflict," Zeid said.*
"The Government of Burundi should be apprised of the very serious consequences that will ensue if it fails in its duty to protect all Burundians, regardless of their political opinions or other affiliations. The urgent disarming of the Imbonerakure and all those who illegally possess arms must figure high on the agenda. If the Government has any hope of reining in the violence, it needs to begin by disarming the Imbonerakure militia and ensuring that police and SNR who have been responsible for human rights violations are brought to book."
"It is also vital that all opinion leaders realise that speech which encourages ethnic divisions may trigger a catastrophic eruption of violence, and that it could expose the author to individual criminal responsibility," he said, adding his strong support for the statement by the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court that anyone who incites or engages in acts of mass violence in Burundi may be subject to prosecution by the Court.
Zeid added that there have been many credible allegations of torture, notably at a locality in Bujumbura run by the SNR intelligence police. Violations have also been reported on the part of national police, and by the heavily armed API police unit that was created in September to fight against "acts of terrorism." "Unidentified, but apparently well-armed and organised individuals opposed to the Government are also committing killings," he said.
The High Commissioner stressed the urgent need for an inclusive dialogue in Burundi, in accordance with the Arusha Agreement which put an end to 12 years of massacres and warfare. He appealed to Burundi's neighbours to step up their attempts to promote such a credible and inclusive dialogue, and to ensure that border areas or refugee camps in their respective national territories are not used by any actors to fuel the conflict.
"The current crisis has already undone much of Burundi's recent political, economic and social progress. The resulting loss of life, economic collapse, increasing hunger, and mass displacement not only threaten peace and stability in the country, but also across the region," Zeid said. "All possible influence must be brought to bear to halt what may be an imminent catastrophe."
The High Commissioner called on the Government of Burundi to urgently take public and concrete steps to restore confidence, to prevent recourse to violence and to return Burundi to the path of peace, national harmony and development.

Tony Brown is the first to admit that he has not been perfect through the first three games of the season. Of course, he's had virtually no practice time.
"I've been playing 35-40 plays a game – and some good plays too," the Tennessee Titans' defensive tackle said. "So I think that's pretty good for a guy rehabbing."
Brown again was a spectator for the first two workouts in preparation for Sundays game against Denver (noon, LP Field). The same was true over most of the previous three weeks as well as all of training camp and the offseason.
His rehab is connected to knee surgery in April.
Not since the later years of Steve McNair's time with the franchise has a player seen so much action on Sunday without the benefit of time on the practice field.
"I definitely would like to practice," he said. "At the same time, I do what I'm told to do. I'm pretty sure that's what happened with (McNair). I just have to go out there and keep doing what I do normally."
Who knows? He might even be able to do it better.
It was in 2003 that McNair missed every practice over a period of weeks because of the effects of an ankle injury. He still played 14 of 16 games that season, threw a career-high 24 touchdown passes and shared the league's Most Valuable Player award with Indianapolis' Peyton Manning.
Brown currently is second among Titans' defensive tackles with 14 tackles (Sen'Derrick Marks has 16) and is the only interior lineman with a sack (he actually has half a sack). At his current pace, he would finish the season with 75 tackles, which would be the second-highest total of his career.
"Playing the game for seven years … there isn't too many blocks I haven't seen," Brown said. "Once I watch film and see what teams are trying to do, I can make my adjustments. Then I can come off the ball and make them adjust to me."
His value to the team is obvious in his experience (among the defensive linemen, only Jason Babin has been in the league longer) and the investment made in him (he signed a three-year, $17 million extension in April).
Thus the decision to limit the amount of wear and tear he experiences during the week.
Of course, a little practice would be worthwhile as well.
"He knows what to do, and he's taking care of himself," coach Jeff Fisher said. "At some point here in the near future, I expect he will be back on the practice field on a regular basis."
• Chris Johnson is on pace for a career-high. It's just not in the category he wants.
The Titans' running back leads the league with 75 rushes though the first three weeks of the season. That's an average of 25 per game, which adds up to 400 if he maintains it throughout the course of a 16-game schedule.
At the same time last season, he had just 53 carries. As a rookie in 2008, he ran it 50 times in the first three games.
"However the gameplan works out, I feel I train hard enough in the offseason, I work hard enough at practice and in the weight room that I can handle it," he said Thursday. "… I always want to be in the game, but whatever the coaches want to do, I'm up for that."
Those carries have produced 301 rushing yards, which puts him on pace for 1,616. That's well short of his goal of becoming the first player in league history to rush for 2,000 yards more than once.
"I don't track that," he said. "I just go in the game and try to get a victory."
• Speaking of running backs, the Broncos added one the Titans know all too well when they traded with New England for Laurence Maroney on Sept. 14, two days after Denver's season-opener.
Maroney faced the Titans twice in his four years with the Patriots and ran for a total of 196 yards on just 29 carries. He had a rushing touchdown in each contest as well as one receiving touchdown.
"We had a couple of bad experiences with him … and he's still very, very explosive," Fisher said. "(Denver's) offense is very similar to New England. I'm sure the terminology is probably identical, so it wouldn't be a problem."
Maroney did not play in Week 2 but had 12 rushes for 25 yards last Sunday against Indianapolis.

I'm surprised nobody as mentioned your roses at the background. They're beautiful. The colors in the hair are amazing too. So diverse and yet they all come together wonderfully. The shadings on the skin are very subtle too, a touch of yellow here and there. The eyes, good God, are gorgeous. Look at the irises and the eyelashes! Well done.

Wow, a very beautiful piece. I also love the message that this is trying to convey. Women (and girls) today seem to be constanatly influenced by America's materialism and the media. 'If you don't have this kind of body you're not beautiful', 'if you don't wear makeup you're not worth it'. Even things like how much body hair you have or whether there are braces in your mouth has become a point of controversy. It's great that someone expressed this in a watercolor as pretty as this. :)

Miley Cyrus, who recently took the No. 2 spot in a poll of worst celebrity role models, is coming clean about what she really thinks of marijuana.
When Rolling Stone asked the "We Can't Stop" singer if her stoner reputation holds any truth, she replied, "You can't ask someone that and expect them to say yes! I did a song with Snoop Dogg called 'Ashtrays and Heartbreaks,' so people can put it together for themselves."
The 20-year-old daughter of soon-to-be divorced Billy Ray Cyrus and Tish continued, "I think alcohol is way more dangerous than marijuana — people can be mad at me for saying that, but I don't care. I've seen a lot of people spiral down with alcohol, but I've never seen that happen with weed."
She added, "As long as it isn't illegal, there are far more dangerous things. And it's legal in the state of California. So I'm happy to live in California, a place where you can be whoever you want to be."
It seems the singer's newly loosened filter is causing her popularity to nosedive with at least one demographic.
In a recent survey conducted by CouponCodes4U, Miley Cyrus earned the disdain of 68 percent of the 2,047 parents who participated. The former Hannah Montana star was only beaten out by Chris Brown, who earned a 71 percent disapproval rating, while Kanye West came in at 67 percent and Kim Kardashian at 63 percent.
Notorious female troublemakers that rank as marginally better role models than Cyrus include Lindsay Lohan at 65 percent, Amanda Bynes at 61 percent , and at 59 percent is former Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham.
"I'm too honest. But this is who I am," Cyrus went on to explain to Rolling Stone of her no-holds-barred nature. "I can't sing 'We Can't Stop' and then be some shy, closed-off person. The reason I never really loved acting was because you can't be yourself. I don't want to be an actor — I want to be an artist."
However, she didn't have much to say when it came to fiancé Liam Hemsworth.
When asked about the current status of their relationship, she replied only, "I wear a ring every single day. I don't talk about my personal life, so that's enough of an answer."

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot. Also, Snape didn't die.
Ginny Weasley stormed through the icy halls, stomping across patches of tranquil moonlight, the pale, almost ghostlike glow pooling around the freckles punctuating her porcelain skin. There had been a time when she hated those freckles. Now it seemed like such a silly thing to worry about; lately she could barely stand to look in the mirror because all she saw there was the weight she bore.
Be careful what you wish for.
No one could have warned her. Even now they'd call her crazy for wanting something else.
Other witches tried to steal him from her. There was a time when it had made her angry, but now she was too tired to care. The boy who saved her life had become the man who saved the world, and he loved Ginny and no one else.
Her mother was already planning the wedding. No one had bothered to ask her if she felt unsure, if this was truly what she wanted. Everyone had assumed. After all of the pain she had seen him suffer, it felt wrong to want to push away when he clung to her.
Bursting through the door of the Astronomy tower, Ginny gasped in the night air so hungrily one might have thought she couldn't breathe in the castle. As her heartbeat slowed and her breathing grew normal once more, she sank down and lit a cigarette, settling in to wait for sunrise.
These sparse lone moments were the only solace she had in a chaotic life, and having one taken from her caused her chest to ache as though it had been torn open as she heard the clear, quiet voice.
"How very ladylike." the sarcasm and distaste she heard in his voice brought something inside her into a much clearer focus. She was sick of everyone being so fucking nice. Instead of trying to hide it or offering some flimsy excuse, Ginny raised one eyebrow, leaned forward, and blew a series of smoke rings in her Professor's direction.
He stepped toward her, leaning in close enough for her to smell the firewhiskey on his breath.
"My. Office. Now." With an apathetic shrug she stood to follow him, taking a long drag from her cigarette before a subtle flick of his wand banished it. His shoulders swayed slightly as he walked beside her, one hand wrapped roughly around her wrist. "And what would your darling fiancé think of his sweet little princess sneaking out to fill her lungs with poison when she should be all snug in her bed?" Beady black eyes stole a sideways glance at her grimace.
"Don't tell Harry." She wasn't begging. Her voice didn't sound desperate, just tired. Snape was intrigued by her apathy. She had returned to Hogwarts after the final battle feminine and refined, a perfect social butterfly. He imagined that she was expected to contort herself until she took the shape of something appropriate for the savior of her world.
No one remembered those who fought beside him, everything they had endured to help him succeed. Ginny shuddered to think of all the times her professor had been tortured, the way he must have felt living a double life, knowing he could be caught at any moment, and the consequences he risked were far beyond the simple pain of death.
Perhaps it was the firewhiskey, perhaps it was just the thrill of seeing the cynicism burning in the honey brown eyes that had shone with innocence and trust mere months before , but Severus couldn't stop himself from uttering the words that came next.
"Miss Weasley, you are aware that use of tobacco is prohibited at Hogwarts, yet you appear to have made a habit of blatantly disregarding the rules. There will be consequences for your actions. I haven't fully decided what to do with you, but I can assure you, you will be punished most severely." A chill shot down her spine at the way his deep, rich voice caressed the last two words, melting in her stomach like dark chocolate.
"What kind of… of punishment?" Her throat felt dry as she spoke.
He stopped abruptly, jabbing at the wall absentmindedly with his wand. A heavy door appeared, creaking as it swung open to reveal the sparsely decorated office. He gestured toward an overstuffed maroon chair that sat facing his extraordinarily large dark cherry wood desk.
"Sit, Ginny." he said in an uncharacteristic chivalrous voice that burned with anticipation. She sat quickly, resting her hands on her knees and staring up at him curiously. Now he could understand the appeal Harry had seen in the young redhead. Constellations of amber freckles sprawled over skin that looked like porcelain in the velvety dancing firelight. As she bit her lip anxiously, he watched the sharp looking little teeth sink into the puffy pink pincushion. Her inviting lower lip reminded him of the other parts of her waiting to be kissed. She was by no means voluptuous, but the slender curve of her spine drove him mad, the way she sat, gleaming with defiance, silenced the last cries of the voice of reason.
"I suppose," he said slowly, as though contemplating something that had never occurred to him before, "that if we resolve the matter of your discipline tonight, this whole little incident can remain our little secret."
Ginny wasn't sure why, but her stomach filled with butterflies and her face grew so warm she wondered if it hadn't perhaps turned fuchsia.
"If you would prefer, we can handle this in the morning."
"No!" she hadn't meant for her response to be so forceful, but a part of her was screaming that she had to stay, even though she had no idea what the night might bring. "I mean," she continued carefully, "I'd prefer to handle the situation tonight. What did you have in mind, professor?"
He sat down behind his desk, pinching the bridge of his nose in an effort to force his mind to work properly. When that failed, he reached behind him to produce a bottle of firewhiskey and a large tumbler. As he started to pour, Ginny spoke.
"Aren't you going to offer me some?"
Dark eyes glinting with mischief, he passed her the bottle. "I doubt very much that you will find this to your liking." His smirk faded as she took a deep swig, suppressing the shudder that it evoked and staring into his eyes in silent challenge. He emptied the tumbler so quickly Ginny's composure faltered for an instant and she looked genuinely impressed. What a strange little girl, he thought to himself, though a small voice reminded him that she wasn't a child anymore by any stretch of the imagination. He cringed the thought away, wondering desperately what kind of trouble he was getting himself into.
Ginny pressed the bottle to her lips, forcing herself to swallow an amount comparable to what she had just seen her professor accomplish. She sat rigidly in her chair, eyes pinched shut, waiting for the burning rush to subside, determined to maintain her composure.
"You look like McGonagall." he muttered, teasing. At first she didn't smile, but two dimples etched themselves into her pink-tinged cheeks. He watched with genuine enjoyment as she dissolved into a fit of giggles, wondering again what he had started.

Through the history of the NFL, certain labels have forecast greatness: Penn State linebacker, USC running back, BYU quarterback, Michigan offensive lineman. But perhaps no label has been a better harbinger of rejuvenated success than former Bucs quarterback. Consider these examples:
DOUG WILLIAMS (1978-82): Until the Tony Dungy era, Williams was the only quarterback to guide the Bucs to the playoffs with post-season trips in 1979, '81 and '82. But in 1983, owner Hugh Culverhouse refused to meet the salary demands of the former first-round pick, so the quarterback left for the Oklahoma Outlaws of the United States Football League. He resurfaced in the NFL with the Washington Redskins and helped them reach Super Bowl XXII in January of 1988. In becoming the first African-American quarterback to start a Super Bowl, he threw for four touchdowns in the second quarter and was named the most valuable player in the Redskins' 42-10 victory over Denver.
STEVE YOUNG (1985-86): Young is the greatest of all the former Bucs quarterbacks. He spent two years scrambling for safety at Tampa Stadium after being acquired in a supplemental draft. He is remembered by teammates for having a beat-up convertible Cadillac, but in the end, Young wound up riding in style as the 49ers quarterback. Tampa Bay traded him to San Francisco in 1987 for cash and two fourth-round picks that would be used on linebacker Winston Moss and receiver Bruce Hill. After spending several years as Joe Montana's backup, Young would revel in his own championship glory, a 49-26 victory over San Diego in Super Bowl XXIX. He retired last season as the league's career-leader in passing efficiency.
STEVE DEBERG (1984-87, 1992-93): You would think being a two-time former Tampa Bay quarterback would have guaranteed DeBerg twice as much success, but it didn't quite work that way. He did, however, have one solid season between those two stints. As the Kansas City starter in 1991, he helped the Chiefs reach the 1991 divisional playoffs with a wild card victory over the Raiders. DeBerg also was a backup for Atlanta when the Falcons reached Super Bowl XXXIII in January 1999.
CHRIS CHANDLER (1990-91): Chandler is the most controversial of the Bucs quarterbacks. He spent only a season-and-a-half in Tampa Bay, but the turmoil was high because he feuded with starter Vinny Testaverde. After trading a first-round pick to Indianapolis to acquire Chandler, the Bucs ended the spat by giving Chandler his unconditional release. His nomadic romp around the league wound up in Atlanta, where he helped the Falcons to an upset win over Minnesota in the 1998 NFC Championship Game and an appearance in Super Bowl XXXIII.
VINNY TESTAVERDE (1987-92): There may have been no other Bucs quarterback who was more maligned than Testaverde. There were certainly quarterbacks with less talent and weaker statistics, but Testaverde's 112 interceptions as a Buc and the six seasons of futility that marked his Tampa Bay career drew ire from all circles. The Bucs finally parted ways with Testaverde, who left in free agency for Cleveland shortly after the Bucs signed then-Steelers quarterback Neil O'Donnell to an offer sheet. After six seasons with the Browns/Ravens, Testaverde returned to his native New York and starred for the Jets, helping them reach the AFC Championship Game.
