not sure what you are trying to do there..

This might help:

Constants in Ruby
A variable whose name begins with an uppercase letter (A-Z) is a  
constant. A constant can be reassigned a value after its  
initialization, but doing so will generate a warning. Every class is  
a constant.

Trying to substitute the value of a constant or trying to access an  
uninitialized constant raises the NameError exception.

perhaps you need to read up a little more about Ruby Syntax?

If you send the code for numbered_news.rb I'm sure someone on this  
list can help..
