Street lighting - energy reduction programme
Street lighting - energy reduction programme
In April 2012, we began the implementation of a four-year street lighting energy reduction scheme. This scheme forms part of our overall carbon reduction management programme aimed at making North Yorkshire greener.
We are responsible for just over 50,000 street lights and in 2010-11 the cost of electricity for street lighting was about £1.6million. This scheme will lead to a reduction in our street lighting energy consumption and the associated carbon emissions. Cash savings of almost £400,000 a year are expected and by reducing our carbon emissions the street lighting element of the carbon tax paid to the Government by will be cut by 28 per cent.
We will ensure that crime, disorder and road safety issues are considered before decisions are made. There are three options for reducing street lighting across the County.
- Part-night lighting
Street lights in North Yorkshire currently switch on at dusk and off at dawn. The new policy will see up to 60 per cent of our street lights switching off in the early hours of the morning between midnight and 5am, when road use is at a minimum.
- Dimming
We plan to install dimming technology in some of our brighter lanterns. This will reduce the level of illumination when road use is at a minimum and reduce energy consumption by 15 per cent. We expect that this will affect about 4 per cent of our street lights.
- Removal of street lighting
This will only take place in areas where road safety will not be compromised and is likely to affect less than 2 per cent of the street lights in North Yorkshire.
The part-night lighting scheme commenced in Harrogate and Knaresborough in August 2012 followed by Scarborough and Hambleton in 2013. The programme will continue into Richmondshire in 2014 and extend across the rest of the County until completion in 2016.
The scheme is monitored and we are committed to respond to any alert by the police to a rise in crime in areas where part-night lighting has been introduced. To date, the police have not asked for any lights to be reviewed.
Please note: due to circumstances beyond our control there may be intermittent timing issues with some part night lights. As a result some lights may switch off/on a few minutes earlier or later than expected. The affected lights will re-calibrate and resume normal working without manual interference. This may also occur when the clocks change between British Summer Time and GMT. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Areas that will not be affected
- Main traffic routes and road junctions (dimming of streetlights may be introduced if appropriate);
- Locations with a significant road traffic night-time accident record;
- Areas with a significant record of night-time crime or anti-social behaviour;
- Lights outside sheltered housing and other residences accommodating vulnerable people;
- Areas with 24hr operational emergency services including hospitals;
- Potential hazards on the highway such as traffic calming, speed humps and road crossings except in 20mph zones);
- Parts of town centres that have concentrated night-time activity or economy;
- Areas covered by CCTV operations.
All roads will have had a review carried out by our road safety team and the police as part of the risk assessment before any lights are switched off. Any concerns raised from the review will be considered and a decision made as to whether the lights will be included in the changes.
We estimate that about 1,000 lights will be dimmed, 500 will be switched off, and up to 30,000 will be converted to part-night operation.

The mark, everyone will want it, but who will take it along with all that it implies? At some point in the future (maybe years, maybe centuries), the Holy Bible discusses a specific milestone that will require each person to make a decision. It will be a decision whether to function within the regular economic system of society and pledge allegiance to a certain authority or decline this authority in firm commitment to Almighty God. The decision will not be easy and when that hour arrives, one should be prepared for his/her resolution well beforehand. The book of Revelation in the Bible speaks of a mark that everyone will be forced to take in order to function within a future economic system.
And it [the beast] maketh all, the small, and the great, and the rich, and the poor, and the freemen, and the servants, that it may give to them a mark upon their right hand or upon their foreheads, and that no one may be able to buy, or to sell, except he who is having the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is the wisdom! He who is having the understanding, let him count the number of the beast, for the number of a man it is, and its number [is] 666. Revelation 13:16-18 (YLT)
The "beast", commonly referred to as the "Antichrist" in the Christian community, is spoken about in detail throughout various books of the Bible. It is worth noting that writings about this same Antichrist are not unique to the biblical scriptures alone; the Antichrist is referred to as "Masih Ad-Dajjal" in the Qur'an and the "Third Antichrist" in Les Propheties by Nostradamus, so further biblical study of this authority figure will be presented in later articles. The Internet is saturated with so many conspiracy theories, and unfortunately, many well-respected authors who refute these theories also categorize an antichrist regime as being one such theory. Regardless of the conspiracies one may encounter, the Bible is clear on this particular anti-Christian superpower that will emerge. Most Christians believe the Antichrist will one day take control of the world, though they may not openly talk about it. Individuals who are unfamiliar with Christian theology should have the opportunity to discover how these ancient teachings of the Bible apply to our modern world today.
The topic of the Antichrist and "the mark of the beast" is one not commonly discussed in the church forum: either the topic is avoided altogether or the teaching is taken for granted under the assumption that believers will be raptured before this mark takes effect. Consequently, one may study further by searching the Internet for topics related to "the mark of the beast" or "666" and find a plethora of articles, many of which (a) are speculative of the defining technology of the mark and (b) offer definitive "proof" that this mark is imminent. This article is not an attempt to provoke fear or to predict what this mark will be, but to promote awareness, demonstrate the technological progression in society today and consider how this progression is converging to one day fulfill that which was predicted by the ancient authors of the Bible.
Simply stated, we do not know what this "mark" will be, although there is much speculation in the Christian community. Thirty years ago, some Christians suspected it would be a tattoo of "666"; a decade later, others contemplated a barcode stamped in the hand, possibly separated in three groups of six lines. These earlier ideas sound archaic today and now the common theory is that each person will receive some kind of near field communication (NFC) device, such as a RFID chip, inserted in his/her hand or forehead. It could be more advanced than a chip, such as a quantum computing device, maybe a mind-reading nano device permanently mounted in a person's head or even an invisible DNA storage mechanism. These are only hypotheses and there is no point in speculating—a few decades from now, these ideas could seem archaic too. We may not really know what the mark (or device) is until the moment of decision arrives, if that moment arrives in our lifetime at all.
Peruse the regular news headlines and one will plainly see that Generation Y is more open to the idea of being monitored and giving up his/her privacy than any previous generation. This openness will only continue with future generations. With social media rampant, including Facebook, Twitter and Google+, individuals' personal details are being voluntarily recorded and offered to the public for review. There is an underlying need to feel connected—that if one is not visible in social media, he/she is missing the party altogether. Imagine a world where everything and everyone are connected.
This electronic age has brought all kinds of tools and devices to bolster security, such as signcryption, and audit trails are required to monitor quality service in industry and banking. We have progressed from a society of cash and cheque transactions to one of credit and debit card transactions. Debit cards were introduced in the early 1990′s, have taken approximately twenty years to become a common means of transferring funds and are the first step towards a direct cashless transaction system. To reduce fraudulent copying and theft, magnetic strip credit and debit cards have been/are being replaced with chip cards that require a security code. However, these cards only offer security provided they are not stolen and the security codes aren't compromised. Managing security codes is even a concern for all the different access points we encounter today and other solutions are being developed, such as reading mental or behavioral traits. Some credit card companies are already offering a more advanced payment option, such as a digital wallet and global acceptance mark.
The latest emerging technology in the consumer industry is mobile payments with smartphones—a novel idea with an obvious convenience, considering one device could house a person's wallet, calendar, online communication tools and provide rapid payment and access potential. Although this payment technology is not yet common for the consumer, based on history, society will eventually adapt to the technology.
The internet has become a critical resource for business and personal use. There is no question that an audit trail exists for all activity done online. Online consumer activity is expected to double by 2016. According to statistics from mobiThinking, approximately 87 percent of the world's population now has a mobile phone, with only 17% of the population using smartphone technology, which will soon increase. How many of us can go a day without our smartphone? Checking messages, staying connected, being able to find information whenever and wherever we want is a convenience few of us would forfeit. In fact, studies have shown that the young generation is addicted to internet connection and experience severe withdrawal symptoms after only 24 hours without it!
The last frontier of communication isolation, air travel, is now accessible through WiFi connection. In the near future, almost everyone will be accessible anywhere anytime. Access to the internet is even being considered a basic human right: there are plans to provide connections to previously remote areas in the world and even for free in other parts! There is no question, having mobile internet connection provides many benefits to society and it alone is not the concern—the long term development related to mobility and the world economic system is to be observed.
Christians who believe in a rapture event before an antichrist regime comes to power may think they are immune to this inevitable technology; however, Christians are just as technologically savvy as anyone else and should therefore be prepared. It may seem outrageous to think that the population would be willing to receive a kind of mark to continue in the world's economy. Yet, body tattooing and piercing are becoming common place for all classes of people. Furthermore, if this mark also offers extremely advanced potential in mobility and security, could acceptance by the general population be all that surprising? Given sufficient time for society to adapt, the population may eventually be compelled to get one—we even see this drive with the current technology today, such as in China recently.
Many biblical prophecies couldn't even be visualized until recent years and many more will be apparent as time progresses. The mark will not just be a way to function within the world's economic system: it will be coupled with a pledge of allegiance to the Antichrist, the one who attempts to replace God through strong deception.
The Bible is clear on the eternal repercussions of receiving the mark in allegiance to the antichrist regime.
If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand, he, too, will drink of the wine of God's fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. He will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment rises for ever and ever. There is no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and his image, or for anyone who receives the mark of his name. Revelation 14:9-11 (NIV)
And for those who refuse the mark and commit to God, the Bible provides an eternal promise of hope.
And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. Revelation 20:4 (KJV)
The goal of this article is for the reader to observe the trends of today and retain a few key points so that as the economic system changes, he/she will recall that which was predicted in the holy scriptures and be prepared for the decision, whether in his/her lifetime or in those of his/her descendents. The truth will still be taught when the antichrist regime comes to power, but it will be through extremely difficult times.
And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he [the beast] corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. Daniel 11:32-33 (KJV)
Every Christian generation is confident that the End Times will start during their lifetime; however, it could still be centuries away. It is crucial that the next generation does not forget what the former generation taught regarding the biblical prophecies (rather than mainstream speculation), so as not to be deceived by the mark when the time eventually arrives. And once (i) the technological infrastructure is put in place, (ii) there is a need for tighter control on the economy than ever before, (iii) citizens are ready to accept it and (iv) the appointed time has arrived, the mark will sweep across the world like a flood.
And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant. Daniel 11:22 (KJV)
As previously stated, the intent of this article is not to predict what or when the mark will be, but to illustrate the progressive systems in society, watch the biblical signs unfold, and encourage the reader to make a decision for Almighty God today.
So be on your guard; I [Jesus Christ] have told you everything ahead of time. Mark 13:23 (NIV)

Headphones are available in a zillion styles, sizes, and price ranges. But we've cut through the clu
The QuietComfort 25 model takes Bose's already stellar noise-canceling headphones and levels them up to new heights.
While they may not be quite as comfortable as Bose's ultrapopular QC 15 headphones, the Harman Kardon NCs offer slightly better sound and have a built-in rechargeable battery to power the active noise-cancellation circuitry.
AKG has introduced two new noise-canceling headphones, the $349.95 K 495 NC and $249.95 K 490 NC.
If you can't afford Bose's QuietComfort noise-canceling headphones, the attractively designed and more affordable Sony MDR-NC200Ds are worth your consideration.
Monoprice's Noise Canceling Headphones are about 70 percent as good as the Bose QC15s for a little more than a third of the price.
Researchers have found a rather elegant way to improve data speeds on existing fiber technology, according to the BBC.
This compact, on-ear design is easily the best on-ear headphone the Audiophiliac has heard in quite some time.
The new Inspiration line lets you express your personal style and block out external sound.
The new MDR-10 Series starts at $199.99 and includes the standard MDR-10R, the noise-canceling MDR-10RNC, and the wireless Bluetooth MDR-10RBT.
The PSB M4U 1 delivers first-class audiophile sound at home or on-the-go with your mobile device.

There are multiple bands using the name Deadbeat:
Though based in Montreal, Deadbeat and his ultra-textured ambient dub soundscapes made their way around the world, finding large audiences in Europe as well as in North America. Deadbeat producer Scott Monteith is a member of the same fertile Montreal scene that includes such luminaries as Akufen (Marc Leclair) and Algorithm (Jeff Milligan). Like his peers, he gained international acclaim in the early 2000s once the French-Canadian city became a hot spot for laptop techno (see the Montreal Smoked Meat compilation), thanks partly to the world-reknown Mutek festival as well as a wealth of Montreal-based record labels. Monteith debuted as Deadbeat in July 2000 with the Cesium Beam 12" for Hautec Records and has since recorded for such labels as Revolver, Intr_version, Background,...

Health & Pregnancy
Home Pregnancy Tests
How It Feels
There is no pain or discomfort in doing a home pregnancy test.
There are no problems with collecting a urine sample for a home pregnancy test. But there may be a chance that you read the results wrong. With any home pregnancy test, if the test shows you are pregnant (positive test), you should see your health professional to confirm the test and arrange follow-up care. If the test does not show you are pregnant (negative test), it is still possible that you may actually be pregnant. You should repeat the test in 1 week if your menstrual period has not started. If the repeat test is negative, probably you are not pregnant, but you should talk to your health professional about why you are not having periods.
Home pregnancy tests can find the presence of a pregnancy hormone (called human chorionic gonadotropin, or hCG) in a sample of urine. If you are pregnant, most tests show a color change or a symbol shows in the indicator area of the test strip or on the part of the test device.
What Affects the Test
Reasons you may not be able to have the test or why the results may not be helpful include:
- Taking the test very early in your pregnancy. HCG may not be found. In this case, the test kit may show that you are not pregnant when you really are pregnant. This is called a false-negative result. If you have drunk a lot of fluid, your urine may be diluted and this may also cause a false-negative result.
- Certain things may cause the test results to show that you are pregnant when you are not pregnant. This is called a false-positive result. False-positive results may be caused by reading the test at the wrong time, letting the test equipment get warm, having protein or blood in the urine, or having hCG hormone in the urine from some other cause.
- Taking certain medicines, such as chlorpromazine or methadone.
- Taking fertility medicines that contain human chorionic gonadotropin.
- Not reading the result at the right time as shown on the instructions. If you read the result too early or too late, the color change may not be accurate, and you will need to retest.

Scalise Victory Upends Conventional Wisdom on Leadership Cash
June 19, 2014 | Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) triumphantly took his spot as the No. 2 Republican in the House this afternoon, stepping up from No. 3. But Rep. Pete Roskam (R-Ill.), who was one rung lower on the ladder as deputy whip, did not manage to ride McCarthy's coattails. Instead, Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) became majority whip —…

And yet their fundraising style isn't so different: both have a donor base that is spread far and…
Ante Up for the Party
July 22, 2014 | Much like being in a fraternity, being a House Republican leader hinges partly on popularity — and also on paying one's dues. While the June 10 primary loss of Rep.

June 11, 2014 | "I'm in shock," Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) said in response to the defeat of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor to David Brat, a small-town tea party activist, in Tuesday's Virginia primary. No kidding: McHenry has received at least $60,000 from Cantor's extensive fundraising network over the years — and he's not the only one who's…

Tea Party Caucus Members Bankrolled by Health Professionals, Retirees, Oil Interests
July 30, 2010 | A Center for Responsive Politics analysis shows that the biggest contributors to the 49 members of the newly-established congressional Tea Party caucus -- it so far includes only Republican -- are health professionals, retired individuals, the real estate industry and oil and gas interests. Furthermore, donations from health professionals, oil and gas interests and Republican and conservative groups are, on average, higher for Tea Party caucus members than for members of the House of Representatives in general and even their fellow House Republicans.
Men Still Dominate Campaign Fund-raising Despite Women's Political Gains

Coincidence? Hospital Where Executives Donated to Republican Rep. Joseph Cao Among His Earmark Requests
April 22, 2010 | Freshman Rep. Joseph Cao (R-La.) is one of just three House Republicans bucking their party leadership by offering appropriation requests for fiscal year 2011. Cao's requests -- better known as earmarks -- total about $517 million, of which $800,000 would be destined for two projects at a hospital in New Orleans. While that's itself a small slice of Cao's total requests, it's notable since Cao also accepted campaign contributions from two of its executives.

Brothers Grim: Is Lehman Next?
September 12, 2008 | Uncle Sam bailed out Freddie Mac and the company's twin sister, Fannie Mae, this week, and the next in line in the Wall Street family to get a helping hand might just be Lehman Brothers. Executives at the struggling investment bank are looking to sell the company with assistance from the government--and fast--as its stock plunges. Although the government isn't expected to completely bail out Lehman Brothers, the fourth-largest U.S. investment bank, the company has built a strong financial relationship with politicians over the years and coincidentally ranks fourth in the largest contributors in the race for the White House.

European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA)
|Project Type
|Joint Technology Initiative (JTI)
|Re-invigorate the European bio-pharmaceutical sector and to make Europe more attractive for private research and development (R&D) investment in this sector
|Total: 2 billion EUR
Funding: 1 billion EUR
|2008 - 2017
|Web Site
The Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) is a European initiative to improve the competitive situation of the European Union in the field of pharmaceutical research. The IMI is a joint initiative (public-private partnership) of the DG Research of the European Commission, representing the European Communities, and the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA). IMI is laid out as a Joint Technology Initiative within the Seventh Framework Programme.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
The Innovative Medicines Initiative is aimed towards removing research bottlenecks in the current drug development process. The IMI Joint Technology Initiative (IMI JTI), to be implemented by the IMI Joint Undertaking is meant to address these research bottlenecks. Its €2bn budget makes it the largest biomedical public-private partnership in the world.
The funding scheme has been criticised,[9] requiring universities to invest more money than with EU FP7 programs. Besides the non-competitive financial aspects of participation in IMI projects for academia, this criticism also discusses that intellectual property is freely flowing to industry.
The Sixth Framework Programme's research projects InnoMed AddNeuroMed and InnoMed PredTox acted as pilot projects establishing the feasibility of this particular public-private partnership.[10] Since then, the IMI has had four funding rounds: the first call had the topic Safety, while the second call was about Efficacy. Projects for these two calls are ongoing.[11]

BANGOR, Wales, January 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
A revolutionary new music service, Chartburst, connects talented, unsigned musicians directly with record label talent scouts based on which musicians' songs receive the most votes from music lovers via a series of music charts.
The Chartburst concept is simple yet powerful. Musicians and bands are able to upload their favorite, original songs to one of ten different genre-specific music charts, from rock and pop to folk and hip hop. Music lovers can listen to as many songs as they want to on Chartburst, vote for their favorites, create playlists, and possibly even play a part in the early success of a break-through artist.
As veterans of the music profession who know the business well, Chartburst's founders recruited talent scouts and A&R reps from some of the world's largest record labels, including Sony, Columbia, Warner Bros, and Universal, and smaller labels like Bella Union, to monitor which artists' songs receive the most votes. Twice a month, scouts review the top five (5) songs from each chart and contact those musicians and bands to provide valuable feedback, and in some cases, discuss possible record deals.
"We created Chartburst because there is a clear, unmet need for unsigned musicians to get their music in front of influential record label representatives," said Francis Gane, co-founder of Chartburst, and a deejay and producer. "At the core of the inspiration for Chartburst, was our frustration that so many great artists do not get heard by the right people at the right time because a service like Chartburst does not exist."
Musicians can upload their music for free, and during the initial trial period (three months) pay only $2.50 a month to add their songs to one of the genre-specific music charts of their choice for the world to listen to (including of course, major label talent scouts). After the three-month beta period, musicians pay only $5.00 per month. The private beta launch has a limited number of accounts for artists. For musicians to get started with the beta, they'll need to enter the promo code "EARLYBIRD100" during the registration process.
Music listeners enjoy completely free, unfettered access to listen to, and vote for, as many songs as they wish across all of the genre-specific charts.
For musicians and bands, Chartburst provides a faster, easier and more dynamic way to build a fan base and get direct access to some of the world's most influential label representatives and music producers.
Chartburst is already receiving praise from popular musicians and DIY musicians alike. Kieran Hebden, aka Four Tet, said of Chartburst: "It's a great new idea to help get people started in the music world."
Developers are diligently working on Chartburst apps for the iPhone, iPad and Android devices. To find out when the apps are ready to download, please follow Chartburst on Facebook & Twitter via chartburst.com .
Chartburst's one-of-a-kind service provides musicians and bands with a simple, democratic and inexpensive way to reach music lovers and major label executives in a way that no other online music service provides.
The praise for Chartburst is building. The popular website, Startupplays, has named Chartburst one of the "Top 35 Startups." Chartburst is destined to become an essential web resource for musicians, much as sites like SoundCloud and Bandcamp have become. Musicians are encouraged to invite and influence their friends, fans and followers on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, or any other social media network, to vote for them on Chartburst to win the chance of a lifetime.

Posted on 20 January 2014 by Luke Jones
With the Ravens coming off an 8-8 season and missing the playoffs for the first time since 2007, it's easy to conclude that the organization needs more from everyone with a vested interest in 2014.
However, with a limited amount of cap space and only so many holes that can be filled through the draft and free agency, the Ravens will lean heavily on a handful of young players already on the roster to emerge and make a difference with another year of experience under their belts.
Here's a look at five young players the Ravens will need more from in order to bounce back from an underwhelming 2013 campaign:
1. LB Courtney Upshaw
Veteran outside linebackers Terrell Suggs and Elvis Dumervil received the most attention for their second-half slides, but Upshaw did little to establish himself as a force within the Baltimore defense in his second NFL season. The 2012 second-round pick once again battled weight and conditioning issues in the spring and summer before serving as the strong-side outside linebacker in the base defense while Dumervil took his place in passing situations. Upshaw played fewer defensive snaps — down to 650 from 762 a year earlier — with Dumervil's arrival in 2013, but his tackle total declined from 60 as a rookie to just 30 and he continued to offer little as a pass rusher or in coverage. With Suggs' future with the organization up in the air and Dumervil recently turning 30, the Ravens need younger players such as Upshaw and 2013 fourth-round pick John Simon to become real factors if the defense is to continue to build on the progress it made this past season.
2. RB Bernard Pierce
If someone had told you before the 2013 campaign that Ray Rice would only rush for 660 yards in a career-worst season, you would have assumed Pierce had taken his job to become the Ravens' feature back. Instead, the second-year back was even worse in averaging 2.9 yards per carry and gaining just 436 yards for the season. In fairness, both backs dealt with nagging injuries and had an undersized and overmatched offensive line trying to block for them, but it was clear that neither Rice nor Pierce was especially effective in identifying running lanes before they quickly closed shut. Rice will receive more heat going into next season as he enters the third year of his five-year deal signed two summers ago, but Pierce's underwhelming sophomore campaign has led many to believe the Ravens should be looking for another running back in the middle-to-late rounds of the 2014 draft. Pierce played in all 16 games in his second year, but his durability is still a question mark in terms of handling a bigger workload.
3. DT Brandon Williams
Despite missing the first three games of his rookie season while nursing a toe injury, the 2013 third-round pick appeared to be emerging as a reliable member of the defensive line rotation before winding up inactive in six of the final eight games. Coach John Harbaugh explained that Williams needed some "maturing" and was beaten out by the versatile DeAngelo Tyson for playing time, but it was still disappointing to see the Missouri Southern State product disappear completely in the second half of the season. With Arthur Jones and Terrence Cody good bets to depart via free agency, the Ravens will need Williams to live up to the high expectations they had when he impressed scouts so much at last year's Senior Bowl. Whether it's to play Jones' 3-technique defensive tackle spot or to shift to nose tackle and allow veteran Haloti Ngata more flexibility to move around, the 335-pound Williams is expected to become a consistent contributor along the defensive line in his second season.
4. LB Arthur Brown
The Kansas State product immediately drew comparisons to future Hall of Fame linebacker Ray Lewis because he was undersized and very athletic, but Brown only saw 211 defensive snaps in his rookie season, with most of those coming in the nickel package. Listed at 235 pounds but playing lighter than that after being selected in the second round of the draft, Brown showed flashes in pass coverage and as a blitzer, but he must get bigger and stronger to become the three-down linebacker the Ravens envision. With Daryl Smith an unrestricted free agent and Jameel McClain a potential salary cap casualty, Brown is expected to win the Ravens' weakside inside linebacker job. With so many other positions of need to address and only so many resources, the Ravens need Brown to put in the necessary work in the weight room and to master the defensive playbook to take care of one of the two inside linebacker positions.
5. OL Rick Wagner
It will be interesting to see how the offseason plays out in terms of where Wagner might fit along the offensive line. In a perfect world, the Ravens would probably prefer keeping the 2013 fifth-round pick in a role similar to the one he held last year as an extra tackle-eligible blocker and key reserve, but the sheer number of holes currently on the offensive line might force him into starting duty. As of now, only Marshal Yanda playing right guard appears to be a sure thing with Kelechi Osemele expected to play either left guard or right tackle. The Ravens want to re-sign left tackle Eugene Monroe and add more size to their interior offensive line, but Wagner might be needed to play either left guard or right tackle if they expend resources at center and left tackle. Offensive line coach Juan Castillo worked extensively with Wagner as a rookie, and his 6-foot-6, 310-pound frame and Wisconsin pedigree suggest he has some nice upside, making this offseason an intriguing one in terms of his development.

After every Baltimore Ravens victory, Ryan Chell and I take to the airwaves on "The Creative Deck Designs Postgame Show" on AM1570 WNST.net to offer "Pats on the Ass" to players who have done something to deserve the honor.
We give pats to two defensive players, two offensive players and one "Wild Card"-either another offensive or defensive player, a Special Teams player or a coach. We offer a "Pat on Both Cheeks" to someone who stands out, our version of a "Player of the Game." Ryan and I select five different players/coaches each.
Here are our "Pats on the Ass" following the Ravens' 29-26 victory over the Minnesota Vikings Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium…

OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Ravens coach John Harbaugh expressed optimism Wednesday that Ray Rice would be able to play against the Buffalo Bills and the Pro Bowl running back's return to practice so early in the week is a strong predictor of that happening.
The sixth-year practiced on a limited basis on Wednesday after missing his first game since the 2008 season in the win over the Houston Texans. Harbaugh's willingness to talk about Rice's return to practice supports the notion that the running back was close to being able to play on Sunday despite being listed as doubtful on last week's injury report.
"Very hopeful. I would expect that," said Harbaugh when asked whether he thought Rice would practice this week. "That's the plan right now. We're going to try to get him out there [Wednesday] and see what he can do, and we'll have our fingers crossed."
Defensive end Chris Canty (groin), linebacker Arthur Brown (pectoral), and wide receiver Deonte Thompson (foot) were also limited in their return to the practice field as it appears the Ravens are slowly but surely getting healthier. Of those three, Brown appeared to be very limited as he wore a yellow cap on his helmet.
Thompson practiced on a limited basis last Wednesday before sitting out the final two workouts of the week and told reporters that he would really test out his foot to see how close he is to returning to the field. The second-year wide receiver hasn't practiced since injuring his foot in the preseason opener on Aug. 8.
If he's able to play against Buffalo, Thompson would provide the Ravens another option in the kickoff return game as Tandon Doss and Shaun Draughn have handled those duties over the last two weeks. Draughn suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 3, which could leave the Ravens thin in the return game.
"I'm coming along great," Thompson said. "We're going to go out today and see how I feel and try to do a lot on it and see how it holds up. There's still some soreness in [the foot]. We'll definitely know after this week."
Wide receivers Jacoby Jones (knee) and Marlon Brown (neck), outside linebacker Pernell McPhee (knee), nose tackle Terrence Cody (knee), Draughn (ankle), and offensive lineman Ryan Jensen (foot) did not participate in Monday's workout. Harbaugh expressed significant doubt that Cody would be able to play in Week 4 after he injured his knee in the first quarter of the win over the Houston Texans.
Jones has already been ruled out for Sunday's game as he continues to rehab the MCL injury he suffered in the season opener on Sept. 5.
Listed as a limited particdipant, defensive tackle Brandon Williams (toe) was practicing once again after he was a limited participant in practices last week. He did not play against the Texans, but he appears to have a chance to make his return to action for the first time since injuring his toe in the preseason finale on Aug. 29.
During the viewing portion of practice, left tackle Bryant McKinnie appeared to be limited and was not taking his normal number of practice reps. Both of his ankles were taped, but it was unclear whether he suffered an injury in Sunday's game and wasn't listed on the injury report.
Newly-claimed safety Jeromy Miles was taking part in practice and wearing No. 36 while rookie safety Brynden Trawick officially became part of the Ravens' practice squad.
Linebacker Brandon Copeland was waived to make room for Trawick on the developmental squad.
For Buffalo, 10 players sat out Wednesday's practice including defensive end Mario Williams (ankle), defensive tackle Kyle Williams, wide receiver Stevie Johnson (hamstring), and cornerback Leodis McKelvin (hamstring).
However, starting running back C.J. Spiller (quadriceps) was a full participant for the Bills.
Here is the official injury report for Wednesday:
OUT: WR Jacoby Jones (knee)
DID NOT PARTICIPATE: WR Marlon Brown (neck), DT Terrence Cody (knee), RB Shaun Draughn (ankle), C Ryan Jensen (foot), LB/DE Pernell McPhee (knee)
LIMITED PARTICIPATION: LB Arthur Brown (chest), DE Chris Canty (thigh), RB Ray Rice (hip), WR Deonte Thompson (foot), DT Brandon Williams (toe)
DID NOT PARTICIPATE: DB Ron Brooks (foot), DT Alex Carrington (quad), CB Stephon Gilmore (wrist), WR Marquise Goodwin (hand), K Dustin Hopkins (R. groin), WR Stevie Johnson (hamstring), CB Leodis McKelvin (hamstring), G Kraig Urbik (knee), DT Kyle Williams (achilles), DE Mario Williams (ankle)
LIMITED PARTICIPATION: FS Jarius Byrd (foot), DT Marcell Dareus (ankle)
FULL PARTICIPATION: G Doug Legursky (knee), RB C.J. Spiller (quad)

OWINGS MILLS, Md. — It's appearing very likely that the Ravens will be without their Pro Bowl running back against the Houston Texans as Ray Rice was listed as doubtful on the final injury report of the week on Friday.
Recovering from a left hip flexor strain sustained in the Ravens' 14-6 win over Cleveland in Week 2, Rice missed three straight days of practice and is in danger of missing his first game since his 2008 rookie season when he was sidelined for three contests. Coach John Harbaugh typically likes to see players practice — at least on a limited basis — on Friday to prove they are ready to play in the game but had stated on Monday that Rice wouldn't need to practice this week in order to play against the Texans.
Defensive end Chris Canty (groin) and rookie linebacker Arthur Brown (pectoral strain) were also listed as doubtful after missing practice for the third straight day of practice. Canty suggested on Thursday that he was optimistic and could still potentially play in the game without practicing all week after suffering a groin injury late in the first half of the Browns game.
"There's really nothing new to report," Harbaugh said prior to the release of Friday's report. "If I had something different with a guy, I'd share it with you, but they are all working hard to get back. They're all kind of in the same neighborhood as far as getting back, particularly [Canty] and Ray Rice and those guys who were injured last week. It will be a game-time decision for those guys, and we'll keep our fingers crossed although we're prepared for it to go either way."
With Rice likely to miss Sunday's game, backup running back Bernard Pierce would be making his first career start. When Rice exited last Sunday's game in the fourth quarter, Pierce picked up a bigger portion of the workload, gaining 57 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries for the afternoon.
The second-year back said the key to being ready to start is preparing mentally in the same way he normally does and treating it like any other game in which he's played at the NFL level. Signed just last week, former Chiefs running back Shaun Draughn would serve as Pierce's backup if Rice is sidelined.
"In my mind, I was never a No. 2 back," Pierce said. "It was just me and Ray rotating all through the game. I'll have the same mentality. I'm just out here trying to win."
Canty will likely be replaced in the starting lineup by veteran Marcus Spears, with Arthur Jones sliding to Canty's 5-technique defensive end spot and Spears occupying the 3-technique defensive tackle position in the Ravens' 3-4 base defense.
Wide receiver Deonte Thompson (foot) was also listed as doubtful after missing the final two days of practice this week after initially returning to the field on Wednesday. He hasn't played since the Ravens' preseason opener on Aug. 8.
Cornerback Chykie Brown (knee) and defensive tackle Brandon Williams (toe) were both present and working during Friday's practice. They worked as limited participants this week, but Brown is listed as questionable while Williams is doubtful since he hasn't played since the preseason finale on Aug. 29.
Wide receiver Jacoby Jones (knee) and offensive lineman Ryan Jensen (foot) will not play against the Texans after missing practice all week. Jones was officially ruled out on Wednesday while Jensen was ruled out Friday and still hasn't practiced since breaking his foot in the first week of training camp.
For Houston, safety Ed Reed (hip) and starting left tackle Duane Brown (toe) are both listed as questionable while wide receiver Andre Johnson is probable after sustaining a concussion last Sunday.
Here is the final injury report of the week:
OUT: WR Jacoby Jones (knee), WR Ryan Jensen (foot)
DOUBTFUL: LB Arthur Brown (chest), DE Chris Canty (thigh), RB Ray Rice (hip), DT Brandon Williams (toe), WR Deonte Thompson (foot)
QUESTIONABLE: CB Chykie Brown (knee)
QUESTIONABLE: LT Duane Brown (toe), TE Garrett Graham (hip/groin), FS Ed Reed (hip)
PROBABLE: LB Brian Cushing (knee), TE Owen Daniels (rest – NIR), RB Arian Foster (calf/chest/thumb), WR Andre Johnson (concussion/back), CB Jonathan Joseph (rest – NIR), LB Joe Mays (quad), CB Brice McCain (knee), C Chris Meyers (back), RT Derek Newton (knee/calf/elbow), WR DeVier Posey (achilles/foot), LB Darryl Sharpton (hip), LG Wade Smith (knee), RB Ben Tate (shoulder)

OWINGS MILLS, Md. — A day after six players missed practice, the Ravens didn't receive much better news on Thursday as Pro Bowl running back Ray Rice was absent once again while continuing to recover from a hip flexor strain.
Coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Rice would not need to practice to potentially play in Sunday's game against the Houston Texans, but his continued absence makes it apparent that backup Bernard Pierce will play a bigger role in the offense even if Rice is available. Offensive coordinator Jim Caldwell acknowledged this reality prior to Thursday's practice after Pierce carried the ball 19 times for 57 yards and a touchdown against Cleveland last Sunday.
"He's been a guy that's run extremely hard," Caldwell said. "In particular, when you look at our situation right now, he's going to have to carry a little bit more of a load, but we fully expect him to be able to step up and do the job."
Defensive end Chris Canty (groin), linebacker Arthur Brown (pectoral strain), offensive lineman Ryan Jensen (foot), and wide receiver Jacoby Jones (knee) all missed practice for a second straight day. Jones has already been ruled out of Sunday's game as he continues to recover from an MCL sprain suffered in the season opener two weeks ago.
Expressing optimism that he'd be able to play on Sunday prior to missing Thursday's practice, Canty acknowledged the possibility of still being able to play on Sunday without practicing all week. The ninth-year defensive lineman exited the Week 2 win against the Browns early in the second half and didn't return, but magnetic resonance imaging returned no indication of structural damage earlier this week.
"It feels pretty good," Canty said. "We'll continue to go about the process and hopefully be able to participate on Sunday. As a veteran football player, you think you can be ready. I've been in this situation before. I'm just trying to get in the best physical condition I can, so I can have an opportunity to help my football team win."
Wide receiver Deonte Thompson (foot) was not present during the portion of practice open to the media, which is concerning after the second-year wideout took part in Wednesday's workout on a limited basis. He has not played in a game since injuring his foot in the preseason opener on Aug. 9.
The good news on the injury front came in the return of cornerback Chykie Brown to the practice field after an MRI earlier this week indicated there was no structural damage to the knee he strained against Cleveland. The third-year defensive back did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
Defensive tackle Brandon Williams (toe) was practicing for the second consecutive day after working on a limited basis on Wednesday.
For Houston, free safety Ed Reed (hip) and wide receiver Andre Johnson (concussion) were limited participants as both appear to be good candidates to play on Sunday. Left tackle Duane Brown continues to be sidelined with a turf toe injury, leaving his status in doubt for Week 3.
Here is Thursday's official injury report:
OUT: WR Jacoby Jones (knee)
DID NOT PARTICIPATE: WR Deonte Thompson (foot), LB Arthur Brown (chest), DE Chris Canty (thigh), C Ryan Jensen (foot), RB Ray Rice (hip)
LIMITED PARTICIPATION: CB Chykie Brown (knee), DT Brandon Williams (toe)
DID NOT PARTICIPATE: LT Duane Brown (toe), TE Garrett Graham (hip/groin)
LIMITED PARTICIPATION: WR Andre Johnson (concussion), TE Owen Daniels (rest – NIR), FS Ed Reed (hip), LG Wade Smith (knee)
FULL PARTICIPATION: CB Jonathan Joseph (rest – NIR), LB Brian Cushing (knee), RB Arian Foster (calf/chest), LB Joe Mays (quad), CB Brice McCain (knee), C Chris Meyers (back), RT Derek Newton (knee/calf), WR DeVier Posey (Achilles/foot), LB Darryl Sharpton (hip), RB Ben Tate (shoulder)

OWINGS MILLS, Md. — The Ravens were missing a number of players from the practice field on Wednesday with running back Ray Rice topping the list of absentees.
The sixth-year back was not present for the portion of practice open to media after he sustained a hip flexor strain in Sunday's 14-6 win over the Cleveland Browns. Coach John Harbaugh indicated on Monday that Rice would not need to practice at all this week in order to play in Sunday's game against the Houston Texans, meaning his absence for the first practice of the week shouldn't be interpreted as a strong indicator of his status for Week 3.
Harbaugh wasn't in the mood to offer any further update on Rice's health prior to Wednesday's practice.
"How he feels? No, I haven't had a chance to say [much to him]," Harbaugh said. "I said, 'How are you doing, Ray?' He said, 'Good.' So, there's your update."
As expected, wide receiver Jacoby Jones (knee) wasn't working on Wednesday and has already been ruled out for Sunday's game as he continues to recover from a sprained MCL.
Defensive end Chris Canty (groin), linebacker Arthur Brown (pectoral strain), and cornerback Chykie Brown (knee) were also missing from the opening part of practice after each underwent a magnetic imaging resonance test for their respective injuries sustained against the Browns. However, Harbaugh passed along the good news that none of their MRIs indicated long-term concern for their ailments.
Where each player stands for Sunday's game remained up in the air.
"With the rest of it, we'll just stand on the injury report with that," Harbaugh said. "There was nothing of a long-term nature [on the MRIs]."
The Ravens did see two players return to the practice field as wide receiver Deonte Thompson (foot) and defensive tackle Brandon Williams were working on a limited basis. Each player worse shorts while others were in full pads, but their attendance was a step in the right direction.
Thompson hadn't practiced since injuring his foot in the preseason opener on Aug. 9 while Williams injured his toe in the preseason finale on Aug. 29. The rookie defensive tackle expressed optimism to finally be out of a walking boot and to have the ability to move around normally again.
"It's just one more step to being closer to the field," Williams said prior to Wednesday's workout. "It's frustrating because you want to be out there. It's good to finally be in a regular pair of shoes. It feels good and increases your positivity."
Offensive lineman Ryan Jensen (foot) was not practicing on Wednesday and is not expected to play against the Texans.
For Houston, free safety Ed Reed (hip) practiced on a limited basis while starting left tackle Duane Brown (toe) and wide receiver Andre Johnson (concussion) did not participate in Wednesday's practice. The overall opinion in Houston is that Brown will miss Sunday's game while recovering from a significant case of turf toe, but Johnson is expected to be cleared in time for Sunday's game in Baltimore.
Here is Wednesday's official injury report:
OUT: WR Jacoby Jones (knee)
DID NOT PARTICIPATE: LB Arthur Brown (chest), CB Chykie Brown (knee), DE Chris Canty (thigh), C Ryan Jensen (foot), RB Ray Rice (hip)
LIMITED PARTICIPATION: WR Deonte Thompson (foot), DT Brandon Williams (toe)
DID NOT PARTICIPATE: LT Duane Brown (toe), WR Andre Johnson (concussion)
LIMITED PARTICIPATION: TE Owen Daniels (rest – NIR), CB Jonathan Joseph (rest – NIR), FS Ed Reed (hip), LG Wade Smith (knee)
FULL PARTICIPATION: LB Brian Cushing (knee), RB Arian Foster (calf/chest), TE Garrett Graham (hip/groin), LB Joe Mays (quad), CB Brice McCain (knee), C Chris Meyers (back), RT Derek Newton (knee/calf), WR DeVier Posey (Achilles/foot), LB Darryl Sharpton (hip)

OWINGS MILLS, Md. — The Ravens continued to present a positive outlook for running back Ray Rice's status following the left hip flexor strain he suffered in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win over Cleveland.
Rice did not return to the game, but the sixth-year back did not undergo a magnetic resonance imaging test, a good sign that the injury isn't considered a long-term concern. The Ravens were held 99 yards on 36 carries with Rice carrying 13 times for 36 yards before exiting the game, but coach John Harbaugh was optimistic once again about Rice's prognosis moving forward.
"That's the indication, that it's not anything that's really serious," Harbaugh said. "They would be looking at it if they thought it was. We'll just be day to day with him."
With the Ravens struggling to run the ball in each of their first two games of the regular season, Rice's availability will be crucial with the Houston Texans coming to Baltimore on Sunday. However, the injury reports for practices this week probably won't provide a strong indication of Rice's progress and you'd assume his hip ailment will lead to more opportunities than normal for backup Bernard Pierce on Sunday.
Pierce gained 57 yards on 19 carries, including a 5-yard touchdown to put the Ravens in front of Cleveland for the first time with 5:13 remaining in the third quarter. Through two weeks, the Ravens rank 22nd in the NFL with 78.5 rushing yards per game and their 2.8 yards per carry average is 28th in the league.
"Ray's a guy I'd probably lean toward resting him this week [during practices] and then seeing how he looks this weekend," Harbaugh said. "He's not going to need the practice to play in the game, but if he feels great, we'll put him out there. If he doesn't, we'll probably rest him and get him ready to go on Sunday if possible."
Harbaugh did not have any significant updates on the Ravens' other injuries from Sunday's game aside from defensive end Chris Canty undergoing an MRI for his injured groin. Cornerback Chykie Brown (knee) and linebacker Arthur Brown (pectoral strain) both underwent MRIs on Monday, but the latter took part in Monday's walk-through, which could be an indication that his pectoral injury isn't too serious.
Ready for Reed's return
Former Ravens safety Ed Reed has yet to make his debut with the Houston Texans due to offseason hip surgery, but Harbaugh and the Ravens fully expect to see the future Hall of Famer lurking in the secondary in his return to Baltimore on Sunday.
Texans head coach Gary Kubiak was optimistic on Monday when asked about Reed's status after the safety appeared to be close to playing in Houston's Week 2 win over Tennessee before being ruled inactive. Reed has taken his time in rehabbing his surgically-repaired hip, but you know he had the Week 3 meeting with the Ravens circled on his calendar as a game in which he desperately wanted to play.
"We'll have to assume that he is going to play," Harbaugh said. "We'd be surprised if he didn't play in this game, and we'll have to assume he's going to play the way he's played in the past."
The Ravens are clearly familiar with Reed's skill set and mental prowess in the secondary, but there is some level of unknown in how he'll fit in defensive coordinator Wade Phillips' system. Harbaugh acknowledged the Texans' 3-4 system has similar elements to what the Ravens run in Baltimore, but quarterback Joe Flacco will now face the 35-year-old defensive back for the first time in a non-practice setting.
Harbaugh acknowledged that it will be strange seeing No. 20 on the enemy sideline after his 11 years spent in Baltimore.
"It's going to be like it was for other teams game planning against us in the past, I suppose," Harbaugh said. "It will be a different feeling. I'll let you know afterwards. It's a little tougher because we haven't seen him on tape, so we really don't know how he fits in their defense."
Lewis entering Ring of Honor
In addition to Reed, the Ravens will also induct future Hall of Fame linebacker into their Ring of Honor on Sunday, adding to what will already be a special day and a meaningful game against one of the best teams in the AFC.
Lewis will speak to the media through a national conference call on Tuesday afternoon before being honored during halftime of Sunday's game.
The Ravens might even ask for an extra lift from the 38-year-old, who is now making a name for himself off the field as an NFL analyst on ESPN.
"We'll be emotional about the game, and we'll feel great about Ray being here for that," Harbaugh said. "It's a great honor. It's something that we'll all take pride in. Maybe Ray will be ready to give us a little [pep] talk? We'll be looking for that as well."
Flacco spends day with family
With his wife Dana giving birth to the couple's second son on Sunday, Flacco left M&T Bank Stadium immediately after the 14-6 win over the Browns and was given the day off Monday to spend time with baby Daniel.
"We did give Joe some time today to stay up [in New Jersey], because of getting up there so late last night," Harbaugh said. "I just talked to him through texts, and he seems pretty happy."
Players will have their regular day off on Tuesday before returning to their Owings Mills facility on Wednesday to continue preparations for Houston.

BALTIMORE — The Ravens came away with a 14-6 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, but with it came a new list of health concerns topped by the status of running back Ray Rice.
Rice went down with a left hip injury in the fourth quarter on a non-contact play and was immediately taken to the locker room where he was diagnosed with a hip flexor strain, according to coach John Harbaugh. Backup Bernard Pierce handled the workload the rest of the way to help the Ravens improve to 1-1 on the season.
Baltimore was optimistic after the game about Rice, who wasn't scheduled to undergo a magnetic resonance imaging as of Sunday afternoon. However, it had to be a scary scene for Harbaugh and the Ravens to see one of their best offensive players go down in pain without being touched.
"I don't have the 'scary gauge' on me right now," said Harbaugh when asked to express how he felt upon seeing the injury occur. "He might've gone down to protect himself, too. That's just something that we'll have to see. We're confident and optimistic right now. We'll have to see tomorrow how he responds to that."
The Ravens also suffered several injuries on the defensive side of the ball as linebacker Arthur Brown (pectoral strain) and cornerback Chykie Brown (knee strain) both left the game with injuries and are each expected to undergo an MRI on Monday. There was some fear in the post-game locker room that the second-round linebacker's pectoral injury could be significant, but Harbaugh expressed optimism that Chykie Brown's knee injury didn't appear to be serious.
Defensive end Chris Canty left the game after the opening series of the second half with a groin injury and didn't return as he received treatment on the bench but wasn't taken to the locker room at any point.
Cornerback Jimmy Smith had his helmet knocked off after a violent collision with safety James Ihedigbo in the second half and was taken to the locker room for a concussion evaluation but returned to action soon thereafter. The 2011 first-round pick also started at corner over Corey Graham in the base defense, which was a change from Week 1.
"Jimmy has been practicing really well," Harbaugh said. "He's a really good player."

Looking to build on an uneven performance from their starting units in the preseason opener, the Ravens return to M&T Bank Stadium for their first live-game action at home since last season in hosting the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night.
Though starters won't see their most extensive action until next week against Carolina, the first-team units will likely play deep into the second quarter before giving way to backups.
"It will be somewhere in that neighborhood," coach John Harbaugh said. "Usually the second preseason game is a half, but again, like we say every time we play a preseason game, it will depend on different guys. Different guys will be on different plans, so it's hard to say exactly."
The second preseason game is often the best opportunity for younger players to make their biggest impression with the coaching staff since starters often play into the third quarter in the third preseason game. As a result, many rookies and backups won't receive as many live-game reps again until the fourth preseason game after most 53-man roster decisions have already been made internally.
With veteran additions being made at wide receiver and tight end over the last week, fringe players at those positions find themselves in a precarious position trying to stand out despite the reality of there now being one or two fewer roster spots available to win.
"If you play well enough, you're going to make it," Harbaugh said. "And if you play well enough and you don't make it here, you'll make it somewhere else. It's really more of a competition against yourself and how well you can play and how good you can get and then see what happens. That other stuff is pretty much out of their control, and I think they understand that."
The Ravens and Falcons will meet in the preseason for the 10th time as Baltimore holds a 6-3 record. The two teams are tied 2-2 in the all-time regular-season series as Atlanta won the most recent meeting in 2010.
After last week's 44-16 win over the Buccaneers, the Ravens are now 41-27 all-time in the preseason and 14-7 in the Harbaugh era. Baltimore has now won 13 of its last 17 preseason games and has produced seven wins in the last eight preseason contests played at M&T Bank Stadium.
Unofficial (and largely speculative) injury report
The Ravens are not required to release an injury report like they do for regular-season games, but I've offered my best guess on what the injury report would look like if one were to be released.
Most of the players ruled to be out will come as no surprise, but the status of a few will be in question. Cornerback Lardarius Webb is not expected to play as he continues to increase his level of activity in 11-on-11 sessions during practices. Pro Bowl guard Marshal Yanda just returned to the practice field on Monday on a limited basis but could take part in the third preseason game of the summer.
Newly-signed tight end Dallas Clark is not expected to play against the Falcons while veteran wide receiver Brandon Stokley could see some very limited action as each player tries to learn offensive coordinator Jim Caldwell's system. Both are good bets to receive extensive action in next week's nationally-televised game against the Panthers.
Again, this is not an official injury report released by the Ravens:
OUT: TE Ed Dickson (hamstring), WR Deonte Thompson (foot), G Marshal Yanda (shoulder), LB Jameel McClain (neck), OL Ryan Jensen (foot), DE Kapron Lewis-Moore (knee), TE Dennis Pitta (hip)
DOUBTFUL: DT Marcus Spears (hamstring), CB Lardarius Webb (knee), CB Chris Johnson (undisclosed)
QUESTIONABLE: OL Ramon Harewood (knee), LB Bryan Hall (hamstring), WR Marlon Brown (undisclosed)
PROBABLE: WR David Reed (groin), S James Ihedigbo (neck), CB Chykie Brown (undisclosed)
Five players to watch Thursday night
1. WR Tandon Doss
With Stokley still in the process of picking up the offensive system, Doss must show the coaching staff that he can be a viable option working out of the slot after a disappointing performance in the preseason opener. It's largely been a quiet summer for the third-year receiver who has a reputation for good hands and running crisp routes in practice.
Next week, you would expect the Ravens to take long looks at both Stokley and Clark working the middle of the field in the passing game, meaning Doss has a critical opportunity against the Falcons to show he can be more than just an afterthought offensively. It's time for Doss to show why the Ravens thought highly enough of him to draft him in the fourth round of the 2011 draft.
2. DT Terrence Cody
The fourth-year defensive lineman has been maligned for much of his run in Baltimore, but Cody has received positive reviews from the coaching staff this summer as he's finally healthy after offseason hip and elbow surgeries. His roster standing appears to be safer now than it was at the start of camp, but he's fighting for playing time in what's shaping up to be a crowded defensive line rotation.
Cody may never live up to his original second-round billing, but the Ravens need a strong option to back up Haloti Ngata at nose tackle, which will allow defensive coordinator Dean Pees to be more creative in moving the Pro Bowl defensive tackle around when warranted. There's no reason why Cody can't feast against the Falcons' second-team offense and further impress the coaching staff as he enters the final year of his rookie contract.
3. LB Courtney Upshaw
Many have been surprised to see Upshaw work so extensively with the starting defense — and ahead of pass-rush standout Elvis Dumervil — but all you have to do is focus on his ability against the run to see why the Ravens are high on him. He has shed the excess weight he was carrying in the spring and looks to be carving out his spot as the starting strongside outside linebacker who will play against offensively-balanced teams in early-down situations.
Upshaw's ability against the run allows Pees to be more judicious in how he uses both Dumervil and starting rush linebacker Terrell Suggs, which will hopefully keep both veterans fresher over the course of games and the entire season. He doesn't offer much as a pass rusher, but Upshaw will factor heavily in what the Ravens expect to be a stout run defense.
4. LB Arthur Brown
Brown's athleticism and ability in pass coverage have been impressive, but he just doesn't look the part of a three-down linebacker right now with his 235-pound frame, which is probably a generous listing. That said, Brown will serve an important role as a nickel linebacker spelling Josh Bynes in passing situations.
The second-round pick may not become a full-time starter until he can benefit from a full offseason to put on 10 pounds of muscle, but the Ravens struggled to cover tight ends over the short-to-intermediate middle portion of the field over the last few years and Brown can be a major boost in that department. Brown has a bright future, but he has a lot of work to do in order to close the gap between him and Bynes for the starting weakside inside linebacker spot next to veteran Daryl Smith.
5. TE Matt Furstenburg
Furstenburg is just one of several young players who are feeling the effects of the recent veteran signings as he now trails Ed Dickson, Visanthe Shiancoe, and Clark and is battling veteran Billy Bajema for the fourth spot on the depth chart. The Maryland product's most realistic destination is the practice squad at this rate, but he will have an opportunity to distinguish himself Thursday like Doss and the other young wide receivers fighting for playing time and roster spots.
A factor that many will overlook in the tight end battle is blocking and neither Shiancoe nor Clark are particularly strong in that department. Of course, much will depend on the status of Dickson's injured hamstring in a couple weeks, but there could be a potential spot available to Bajema or Furstenburg if their blocking ability proves to be a necessary asset.

As part of the succession of tricks they play on each other Mrs Twit cooks an unusual spaghetti dish for her husband:
"Hey, my spaghetti's moving!" cried Mr Twit, poking around in it with his fork.
"It's a new kind," Mrs Twit said, taking a mouthful from her own plate which of course had no worms. "It's called Squiggly Spaghetti. It's delicious. Eat it up while it's nice and hot."
Serves 3 – 4
300g dried spaghetti
1tbsp olive oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 red onion, chopped finely
1 red pepper, chopped
1 can tinned tomatoes
1tbsp tomato puree
1 small can sweetcorn
6 vegetarian hot-dog sausages, each cut into 3 pieces.
2tsp mixed herbs
3tsp spicy Italian seasoning
3tbsp vegetarian hard cheese, grated
If sausages are frozen, place in a small pan of boiling water and simmer for a few minutes, then cut into three.
Cook spaghetti according to packet instructions.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large pan and add onion. Cook for a couple of minutes, then add the garlic. Cook for a few minutes more until starting to turn golden. Add red pepper and continue to fry until soft.
Add tomatoes and tomato puree and simmer gently.
Drain sweetcorn and stir into the tomato mixture with the sausages.
Add the herbs and seasoning.
Drain the spaghetti and stir through the sausage sauce.
Place in large bowl and sprinkle cheese over the top.
It didn't matter what kind they were – song thrushes, blackbirds, sparrows, crows, little jenny wrens, robins, anything – they all went into the pot for Wednesday's Bird Pie supper.
The current availability of meat-free products would, no doubt, mean little to The Twits, but more enlightened couples may enjoy this vegetarian alternative to Bird Pie as the chicken-style pieces mean no 'little jenny wrens' need suffer:
1 pack Quorn chicken-style pieces
1tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
300ml vegetable stock
200ml double cream
3tbsp butter
2tbsp flour
75ml milk
2 large leeks, washed and chopped
1 sheet ready-rolled puff pastry
Preheat oven to 200C/ Gas 6
Heat oil and 1tbsp butter in a pan and add the onions and leeks.
Cook gently until soft and golden, add the Quorn pieces and then pour over the vegetable stock. Stir well.
In a separate pan heat the remaining butter. Add the flour and cook for 1 minute. Then add 60ml milk, stirring well to avoid any lumps. Add the cream and continue to cook until the roux is smooth. Then add it to the leek and Quorn mixture.
Bring to the boil to reduce by half and then allow to cool slightly. Season as required.
Pour into a pie dish.
Place pastry on top and crimp to seal. Slash the top with a sharp knife and moisten with the remaining milk.
Cook for 30-40 mins until pastry is cooked through and golden.

(CNN) - As you catch a ball game or fireworks display this 4th of July weekend, you're probably going to hear the "Star Spangled Banner" - a song that can be inspiring when sung well, but when it's sung poorly - ouch!
Now, one man is on a personal mission to prevent those cringe-worthy moments for singers.
You could call him the virtuoso of the National Anthem.
Michael Dean is on a mission to save singers' egos and our ears
"The worst part is those performances are bad for everyone, they're bad for the singer and they are horrendous for the listeners," he said.
Call it the "how-not-to-butcher-the-National-Anthem" class.
Scores of pop stars, a list so exclusive it's kept secret, have come to him to prep for their National Anthem performances and avoid humiliation by learning not only the technique of the song, but its meaning.
The song has its hazards. A sprawling vocal range of an octave and a half setting up to a crucial moment, well, usually crashes and burns.
And the tricky lyrics, written not in normal speech patterns but in poetry.
Dean said so many people forget the words because they don't understand them.
"If it's just a lot of nonsense words, then the audience is going to perceive it as a lot of nonsense words. So studying why this piece was originally written is a very important for the singer to do," he said.
Sadly it seems these days, the anticipation of a bad anthem is now the norm.
"A lot of people have told me when they listen to the national anthem and it goes reasonably well, the only feeling that they feel is relief, they don't actually feel moved, or changed, or inspired, just feel relief that it wasn't awful," Dean said.
Cringe worthy moments Dean is working one note at a time to avoid.
An American composer and conductor is debuting a new arrangement of the star spangled banner at the National Mall in D.C. on July 4.

Girl, 13, Sends 14,528 Texts in a Month
UPI: A California father says he discovered his 13-year-old daughter sent 484 text messages per day last month -- one message every 2 minutes of every waking hour.
Greg Hardesty of Silverado Canyon, Calif., told the New York Post his 440-page cell phone bill revealed his daughter Reina had sent an astonishing 14,528 text messages.
"First, I laughed. I thought, 'That's insane, that's impossible,'" said Hardesty, 45, a reporter for The Orange County Register. "And I immediately whipped out the calculator to see if it was humanly possible."
Hardesty said Reina had messaged a core of "four obsessive texters," all girls between the ages of 12 and 13. Luckily, he was on an unlimited text messaging plan or his bill would have been $2,905 at a rate of 20 cents per message, the Post reported.
Hardesty told the newspaper he and his ex-wife have placed restrictions on Reina's cellphone use, ruling she cannot text after dinner.
