Suit: Patriots' Hernandez Shot Man In Face In Fla.
New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, already connected to a homicide victim in Massachusetts, is being sued in South Florida by a man claiming Hernandez shot him in the face after they argued at a strip club.
The lawsuit filed late Wednesday by 30-year-old Alexander Bradley comes as police in New England investigate the death of 27-year-old semi-pro player Odin Lloyd. Lloyd's body was found in an industrial park near Hernandez's home in North Attleborough, Mass. Lloyd's family has said he had some connection to Hernandez but would not elaborate.
In his federal lawsuit seeking at least $100,000 in damages, Bradley claims he and Hernandez were with a group in February at Tootsie's club in Miami when the two got into an argument. Later, as they were driving to Palm Beach County, Bradley claims Hernandez shot him with a handgun, causing him to lose his right eye.
Bradley, who is from Connecticut, also suffers from jaw pain, headaches, permanent injury to his right hand and arm and will probably need further surgery, according to the lawsuit. He has already undergone facial reconstruction surgery and has plates and screws in the right side of his face.
Bradley "will require extensive medical care and treatment for the rest of his life," the four-page lawsuit says.
Bradley did not mention Hernandez in a Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office report at the time. Bradley, found shot and bleeding Feb. 13 in an alley behind a John Deere store, insisted to investigators he did not know who shot him and gave only a vague description of possible assailants. A store employee found Bradley after hearing a shot outside, but the store's video surveillance system wasn't working.
Hernandez's lawyer did not immediately respond Thursday to an email seeking comment about the lawsuit. The lawsuit does not mention how Hernandez and Bradley are acquainted.
In another development Thursday, police in Providence, R.I., said Hernandez was taunted in May by a man at a nightclub near the Brown University campus but walked away. The man followed Hernandez for three blocks and a crowd formed, held back by police while Hernandez got into his vehicle and left.
Meanwhile, in Massachusetts, family and police were mum on the nature of Hernandez's relationship to Lloyd, who played for the Boston Bandits semi-pro team.
Media camped out Thursday at Hernandez's home, on the Rhode Island state line not far from the Patriots' stadium in Foxborough. A news helicopter followed along as Hernandez drove in a white SUV from his home to the stadium, then got out and went inside.
Patriots spokesman Stacey James said the team had no comment on why Hernandez was there. He said earlier that the team did not anticipate commenting publicly during the police investigation.
A Massachusetts State Police emergency response team on Thursday was searching the brush with metal detectors and poles on a road leading to the entrance to Hernandez's subdivision.
Hernandez attorney Michael Fee acknowledged media reports about the state police search of Hernandez's home as part of an investigation but said he and the player wouldn't have any comment on it.
Lloyd's mother, Ursula Ward, would not say how Lloyd knew Hernandez and did not say whether police told her how her son died. An uncle said Lloyd had a connection to Hernandez but wouldn't elaborate.
Bristol District Attorney Samuel Sutter's office said investigators were asking for the public's help to find a silver mirror cover believed to have broken off a car between Boston and North Attleborough.
On Wednesday, at least seven state troopers searched both sides of a road just off the street where Hernandez lives. The officers used thin poles to pull back plants and search through undergrowth along the road.
The Patriots drafted Hernandez out of Florida in 2010. Since then, he has combined with Rob Gronkowski to form one of the top tight end duos in the NFL. He missed 10 games last season with an ankle injury and had shoulder surgery in April but is expected to be ready for training camp. Last summer, the Patriots gave him a five-year contract worth $40 million.
Hernandez said after he was drafted that he had failed a drug test while with the Gators and had been upfront with NFL teams about the issue.
Sports Illustrated reported that the link between Hernandez and the case was a rented Chevrolet Suburban with Rhode Island plates that police had been searching for. The Associated Press could not independently confirm the report.
Lloyd's neighbor Larry Connors said a black Suburban with Rhode Island license plates was towed out of the yard of Lloyd's house after his body was found. Lloyd had been driving it for a few days, but Connors had never seen it before that.
Associated Press reporters Rodrique Ngowi in North Attleborough, Bridget Murphy in Boston and Michelle Smith in Providence, R.I., contributed to this report.

Zoo staff get death threats for killing healthy giraffe, feeding it to lions
COPENHAGEN (CNN) -- Staff at a Danish zoo where a healthy, 2-year-old giraffe was euthanized have received death threats as debate rages online over the killing, which took place despite a petition signed by thousands of animal lovers.
Several staff members were targeted after the animal, named Marius, was put down, Copenhagen Zoo spokesman Tobias Stenbæk Bro told CNN on Monday. He added that Bengt Holst, director of research and conservation at Copenhagen Zoo "received threats via telephone and e-mails."
While some American zoo officials have said this is not standard practice for their facilities, the executive director of a European body governing 345 institutions has said that this can be chalked up to a misunderstanding about what is "normal in Danish culture" and that zoological experts could do a better job of communicating.
"People have perhaps lost sight of the bigger picture and perhaps we as zoos have not been good at explaining why on very few occasions we need to make decisions like this," said Lesley Dickie, executive director of the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria.
The Copenhagen Zoo said it euthanized Marius on Sunday to avoid inbreeding. A veterinarian shot Marius with a rifle as he leaned down to munch on rye bread, a favorite snack. After an autopsy the giraffe was dismembered in front of an audience that included children and fed to the zoo's lions, tigers and leopards.
"Our giraffes are part of an international breeding program, which has a purpose of ensuring a sound and healthy population of giraffes," Holst told CNN. "It can only be done by matching the genetic composition of the various animals with the available space. ... When giraffes breed as well as they do now, then you will inevitably run into so-called surplus problems now and then."
As for the public autopsy, Holst said Monday that the zoo staff saw it as a learning opportunity because zoos have an obligation "not to make nature into a Disney World," but rather show those interested in "the real thing."
He further pointed out that most of the children in attendance brought their parents to the autopsy, not vice versa.
"It's not by accident that people came by here," he said.
This may speak to the cultural gap Dickie referenced. At the Copenhagen Zoo, she said, all euthanized animals are autopsied, with some parts used for research and the rest of the animal fed to the zoo's carnivores.
"They strongly believe that the public should know how autopsies are done, what is the work of a vet in the zoo," she said.
That didn't dull the outrage sparked by the killing, as many people expressed their revulsion on the zoo's Facebook page.
"I find the killing of innocent baby giraffe Absolutely Barbaric. And to do it in front of children just desensitizes them to brutal killing of animals. SHAME ON YOU!" Hope Welch posted Monday.
However some users pointed out the hypocrisy of those who criticized the zoo without any understanding of the reasons behind the euthanasia, or who ate meat without knowing its true origin. "The level of crass hypocrisy demonstrated by the vast majority of comments on this thread is absolutely repugnant. Shame on you, armchair warrior, shame on you," wrote Matthew Ogden.
More than 27,000 people had signed a "Save Marius" petition, appealing for a last-minute change of heart. "The zoo has raised him so it is their responsibility to find him a home," author Maria Evans wrote on the petition site.
When that petition failed, another petition popped up Monday, titled, "Fire Bengt Holst From the Copenhagen Zoo For Having Marius the Giraffe Killed." It had more than 16,000 signatures as of 3:30 p.m. ET.
Zookeeper and TV personality Jack Hanna, who is also director emeritus of the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium in Ohio, joined the chorus of outrage Monday, calling the Copenhagen Zoo's decision "the most abominable, insensitive, ridiculous thing I've ever heard of."
He also questioned why the Copenhagen Zoo would keep breeding animals for which they didn't have room. The Columbus Zoo would never euthanize an animal in this manner, Hanna said, and he wouldn't condone showing an animal consume another animal to children.
"I know it's natural in nature. I'm not an idiot," he said, "but I don't need to have some 2- and 3- and 6-year-olds -- they cannot understand at that age. You understand they don't understand nature. They haven't been to Africa, so that's what we do at the zoos. We try to educate people at zoos on what happens in the wild."
Which is exactly what Holst argues the Copenhagen Zoo was doing. As for exploring other purportedly more humane options, such as lethal injection or sterilization, Holst said that an injection would have contaminated about 200 kilograms of perfectly good meat, which was out of the question. He added, "if we just sterilize him, he will take up space for more genetically valuable giraffes."
Several zoos volunteered to take Marius. The UK's Yorkshire Wildlife Park, which said it has the capacity for an extra male, was among several places that offered to take him.
Copenhagen Zoo said in a Q&A about the decision on its website, "it is not possible to transfer the giraffe to another zoo as it will cause inbreeding."
The EAZA's Dickie said some institutions were ruled out because they did not meet her organization's strict protocols, and the Copenhagen Zoo wouldn't send Marius to an institution with "lesser standards of welfare."
She further said that while EAZA members are "saddened by the death of any animal in our care," the EAZA supports the Copenhagen Zoo's decision and reiterated the zoo's claim that "transfer within our network does not represent a solution to the unsuitability of the individual animal for breeding."
In the EAZA's history, which dates back to the early 1800s, its member zoos have euthanized only five giraffes, Dickie said.
Numerous American zoos did not immediately respond to requests for interviews. The Association of Zoos and Aquariums declined a request, issuing a short statement from executive director Kris Vehrs stating that EAZA's "programs and procedures vary from those of the AZA."
"Through the AZA Species Survival Plan program, these methods include science-based breeding recommendations and cooperating to plan for adequate space," Vehrs said in the statement.
The Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle also declined an interview but said its birth plans were managed by the AZA Species Survival Plan.
"With each new animal birth, Woodland Park Zoo establishes a breeding and relocation plan that ensures a healthy and genetically sound future for the individual and species," the statement said.
To claims that the Copenhagen Zoo acted irresponsibly by allowing Marius to be born if it had no room to house him, Dickie said the giraffe was born more than two years ago, and it's difficult to predict "genetic kinship" and a zoo's available space that far out.

Termites are on one of the most feared pests for a homeowner or business. They are silent, voracious eaters that cause millions of dollars of damage to homes and businesses each and every year. Often, the only time a homeowner or business owner knows they have a termite problem is after the damage has already been done.
Types of Termites
There are two basic classifications of termites, drywood termites and subterranean termites. Both are destructive and must be dealt with as soon as they are discovered.
Drywood termites, as the name implies, create their colonies inside wood. Walls and and attics are common places to find drywood termites. When drywood termites reach maturity, they will "swarm" in an effort to create a new colony. One of the tell-tale signs of drywood termites are small mounds of fecal matter that they push out their colonies.
Subterranean termites live in the ground. Subterranean termites primarily feed on wood found in the soil. When that food source is exhausted, they will search out new sources of food. Often, this new source of food will be in the form of the portion of your home or business that is in contact with the ground. Support beams that are embedded into the ground are extremely susceptible. They will even build "shelter tubes" to reach from the ground to a wood source in your home or business.
Your Termite Professionals
With over 35 years of experience in termite control in your area, Eary Termite and Pest Services will eradicate your current termite problem and help you guard against future infestations. Call us today for a consultation.

From Openmoko
There are three main types of Java platforms that can be made available on Openmoko devices such as the Neo1973.
- Java Standard Edition (Java SE)
- Java Micro Edition (Java ME)
- Hybrid Solutions
Java Standard Edition (Java SE)
This is the incarnation of the desktop version of Sun's Java platform. The majority of its codebase was recently opensourced under the GPL+exception license; the closed bits are quickly being replaced by unencumbered alternatives.
When people talk of Java applications, they're usually referring to software targeted to this platform. Application memory footprints on desktop applications usually include the VM and base libraries, rather than just the application itself (this isn't the case in Java ME).
Java Micro Edition (Java ME)
This is the 'lite' edition of the Java platform. Modular and optimised for embedded devices, this platform provides a much more restricted set of language and library features.
Java ME applications are usually referred to as MIDlets (Sun's name for these applications).
When talking about games and mobile phone games in general, people are normally referring to this platform. Java ME games and applications are expected to function within the strict memory capabilities of the corresponding platform (application descriptors allow the runtime environment to know for which they are intended).
Memory footprints of MIDlets written for Java ME are typically quoted exclusive of the VM or base libraries -- this is because they are often delivered to Java-enabled devices over the network. Footprint sizes average 10-64KB, with recent devices supporting up to 1MB MIDlets.
MIDlet are delivered as two files:
- a .jad MIDlet metadata descriptor
- a .jar MIDlet container, containing executable bytecode and any required resources
Hybrid Solutions
Other approaches include mixing and matching Java SE and Java ME in various ways. Standard methods include providing a compatibility layer on top of Java SE (like microemu) to allow it to run Java ME and expanding Java ME to provide more Java SE features.
Another possible approach would be to have every application compiled to native with gcj when installed and then run without a JVM, with a much faster startup. This may be risky and needs a specialized installer.
Java SE implementations
- OpenJDK, the open-sourced implementation of the Java Platform Standard Edition.
- Icedtea, basically OpenJDK with some improvements (initially from Redhat) to ease incorporating into free software distributions.
- Cacao is a GPL Java-Virtual-Machine(JVM) which uses Just-In-Time(JIT) compilation combined either with Icedtea/OpenJDK or Classpath.
- JamVM, another GPL JVM with very small footprint (<160k) combined with Classpath classes.
- Apache Harmony, is the Java SE project of the Apache Software Foundation.
Java ME implementations
- PhoneME is basically the code base of Sun's commercial Java ME implementation without those components that Sun can't --or won't-- release to the open source community. It is licensed under GPL2. There are actually two versions of PhoneME:
- PhoneME Feature: is an implementation of the CLDC (Connected Limited Device Configuration) and MIDP2 (Mobile Information Device Profile) as is common on feature phones (e.g. 'normal', non-smart phones).
- PhoneME Advanced: is an implementation of the more complex CDC (Connected Device Configuration), designed for more advanced handsets.
|NOTE: this runtime and library can be made available for OpenMoko through OpenEmbedded easily.
- MIDPath is a Java library which provides a MIDP2 implementation and can be used together with the CLDC version of the Cacao to provide an alternative implementation of CLDC/MIDP.
- Microemu: a Java ME emulator that runs on top of Java SE. If the overhead is small enough, it should be the "cheapest" solution.
Status on Openmoko
Java-pkg is a projects.openmoko.org project whose aim it is to "Get Java going on Openmoko, and once it's running, maintain it. There are two subprojects, one for JME and one for JSE. Priority is currently given to JME CDC profile." There is currently a work-in-progress recipe for PhoneME Advanced in their SVN, which doesn't fully build, as well as a working recipe for PhoneME Feature, which only works directly on the Neo1973 framebuffer (e.g. you'll have to stop Xfbdev).
Jalimo is a project to feature the integration of free Java-like implementations for free platforms. They already have packages for Openmoko, covering Cacao, GNU Classpath (with Swing support), PhoneME Advanced Foundation/Personal, SWT and the java-gnome bindings, which allows writing GTK+ applications in Java. Build recipes are part of OpenEmbedded and maintained therein. This article describes, how to get started, if you want to install and use Jalimo on Openmoko based systems.
On Debian, both CacaoVM and JamVM SE-JREs have been ported, and although JamVM is considerably faster at start-up, CacaoVM offers a full JSE-1.5 implementation from Icedtea than JamVM's GNU-Classpath classes. The microemu can be used on top of CacaoVM to run PhoneME applications (MIDlets etc).
VM Licensing
MIDlet Licensing
Google should be your main resource for most Java-related topics. Below is a selected list of further information resources.
Java SE Links
In 2006/7 Sun acquired the assets of Savaje, which included a port of J2SE to ARM Linux. This was used to build the "JavaFX" modules and, in fact, it runs on the Neo1973 already. They used it to show JavaFX at the JavaOne 2007: http://java.sun.com/javaone/sf/media_shell.jsp?id=193609 See also http://blogs.sun.com/jonathan/entry/when_not_where

While you were staggering home in a prosecco haze, celebrities were still out partying, and here's some post-Oscar nuggets for you to munch on. Okay, so yeah, Jennifer Lawrence fell down on her way to collect her Best Actress Oscar. We can perhaps attribute this to her previous confession that she was planning to get shithoused during the ceremony, and also because Lawrence and most of these women are wearing fucking TORTURE CHAMBER dresses and heels that are stilts, and those two things don't jive well. (It was either that or the Lena Dunham Golden Globes waddle.) Anyway, she accidentally/on purpose gave someone the finger in the press room after her win and then looked shocked. Amazing. [Just Jared]
After that, she went to Soho House in Hollywood and had an "intense conversation" with Leonardo DiCaprio while resting her hand on Bradley Cooper's shoulder, which drew "envious stares from other women." [Page Six]
While Seth MacFarlane flirted with the boundaries of propriety, The Onion was pushing the limits on Twitter: a tweet from the satirical publication, deleted about an hour it was posted, read "Everyone else seems afraid to say it, but Quvenzhané Wallis is kind of a cunt, right?" Naturally, it set Twitter alight. GOD, her dog purse is so much more important than any of this. [HuffPo]
Unsurprisingly, Elton John's huge annual Oscars party beat the one you went to last night, particularly because it benefited the Elton John AIDS Foundation. Heidi Klum wore a very low-cut dress ("A lot of people are complimenting my dress, but they aren't looking into my eyes when they say it"... "I'm worried about it because my boobs could fall into my dinner, so I'm being very careful."), Anna Paquin used a lint brush on Stephen Moyer, Matthew Morrison, Chris Colfer, Bono, Kim Kardashian, Miley Cyrus and Nicki Minaj were also in attendance. And then they all fucked. JK. [Page Six]
BAAH, and also John and David Furnish's son Zachary Furnish-John in a babytuxedo. [Hello Magazine]
Jim Carrey was there too, and he wore huge fake feet. I worry about him. [vh1]
Oh and Britney Spears, who is NOW A BRUNETTE. Life, forever altered. [Daily Mail]
Why was Kristen Stewart limping and cranky at the Oscars? She stepped on broken glass.
Anne Hathaway, holding her new Oscar, ran into Kristen Stewart, who was on crutches, backstage.
"Oh no!" Hathaway said.
"I know, I'm an idiot," Stewart replied. "But congratulations!"
"Please tell me you're going on stage with those," Hathaway said, pointing to the crutches.
"Nope. I'm gonna hobble," Stewart said.
"Well, break a leg," Hathaway said. "Oops."
Meenwhilez, Christina Applegate married her longtime boyfriend Martyn LeNoble, the father of her 2-year-old daughter Sadie Grace in a small private ceremony on top of a mountain, and there were flutes playing and trombones and flowers and garlands of fresh herbs. And they danced 'till the sun rose, and their children will form a family band, and you were not invited. [Us Weekly]
More Oscar gossip:
- Renee Zelwegger did not look like herself. [Daily Mail]
- Harvey Weinstein's daughter Lily came up with the idea to have Michelle Obama introduce last night's Best Picture nominees. [Independent UK]
- Meanwhile, Charlize Theron rushed to help an Academy Awards security guard who was having a seizure. She's the best. [E!]
- Oh, man, that Chris Brown/Rihanna joke that Oscars host Seth MacFarlane made last night. Damn. [HuffPo]
- And a full roundup of the sexist jokes by MacFarlane are here. [The Cut/NY Mag]
- D'aww, Jamie Foxx took his daughter Corrine to the ceremony 8 years after the first time he took her, when he was nominated for Ray. (She was 11.) [People]
- There is now a Twitter devoted to Anne Hathaway's Oscar-dress nipples. (It was just the darts of the dress, you guys, I think?) [Twitter]
- "George Clooney showing off a freshly grown beard for a new role at the Night Before Gala at the Beverly Hills Hotel." Way to go with the subtle allusion to the copious Smirkface Silverfox gay rumors, Page Six. Very classy. [Page Six]
- Katie Holmes went to L.A. for an ICM Oscars party and my boyfriend Christoph Waltz was there. (New best friends? Would be so fun and incongruous!) [Page Six]
- At the Oscars last night Halle Berry looked so awesome in an Ayn Rand heroine kind of way. (Under ordinary circumstances, that would be an insult, but the Oscars are so YOLO!) [HuffPo]
And some Muggle gossip:
- Akon is being sued by a guy who says he stage-dove right on top of him. [TMZ]
- Ryan Lochte is looking for love. Real love. Ridiculous, consuming, can't-live-without-each other love. And he hopes to find it on his E! reality show because that's usually where it is, right? [NYDN]

Concrete Sidewalk Installation Hire the Pros
A split or malfunctioning walkway can pose a threat to safety, where elevation as well as unequal mistakes cause tripping dangers. This could be from inappropriate sidewalk installation, nonetheless nature can contribute in damaged walkways. Throughout the years, tree roots can trigger raised or broken down sections. Cracked and also harmed cement of pathways and also sidewalks is not a secure setting.
Cost To build A SidewalkConcrete is a common material choice for an exterior sidewalk.
You will find that the cost to install average sidewalk depends upon material and finish grade, surface area and material volume, preparation and special needs, and the labor rate.
How long should a concrete sidewalk last?
How thick is a concrete sidewalk?
Sidewalks: Concrete sidewalks are typically 4 inches in thickness. However, if a sidewalk supports motorized service vehicles or crosses a driveway, it may need to be as much as 8 inches in thickness.

Do sidewalks have rebar?
Member. Many, many sidewalks do not have any rebar in them at all and they hold up just fine. Typically, the rebar is there just to reduce the cracking in a slab on grade situation; unless the intended use will put a lot of weight on it. Then you would put a lot of rebar in it and increase the thickness of the slab.
Why are sidewalks made of concrete?
During the last century, concrete replaced brick as the standard surface for sidewalks in the United States. It is also the least sensible surface, simply because concrete slabs can easily become uneven and pose tripping hazards.

A concrete finisher is a skilled tradesperson who works with concrete by placing, finishing, protecting and repairing concrete in engineering and construction projects. Concrete finishers are often responsible for setting the concrete forms, ensuring they have the correct depth and pitch.
Concrete Pouring - Cement Sidewalk
The cement reacts with the water and other ingredients to form a hard matrix that binds the materials together into a durable stone-like material that has many uses. ... Most concrete is poured with reinforcing materials (such as rebar) embedded to provide tensile strength, yielding reinforced concrete.
A general contractor, main contractor or prime contractor is responsible for the day-to-day oversight of a construction site, management of vendors and trades, and the communication of information to all involved parties throughout the course of a building project.

This tomb is similar in design to the nearby one at Altar (County Cork), but is not as complete.
A single roofstone rests on top of the thin walls.
This is worth stopping off at if you are in the area, but a word of caution: The OS map has this marked in the wrong location. It is actually located in the garden of the pub to the east of the road junction.
This is an explanation of (and a bit of a disclaimer for) the coordinates I provide.
Where a GPS figure is given this is the master for all other coordinates. According to my Garmin these are quite accurate.
Where there is no GPS figure the 6 figure grid reference is master for the others. This may not be very accurate as it could have come from the OS maps and could have been read by eye. Consequently, all other cordinates are going to have inaccuracies.
The calculation of Longitude and Latitude uses an algorithm that is not 100% accurate. The long/lat figures are used as a basis for calculating the UTM & ITM coordinates. Consequently, UTM & ITM coordinates are slightly out.
UTM is a global coordinate system - Universal Transverse Mercator - that is at the core of the GPS system.
ITM is the new coordinate system - Irish Transverse Mercator - that is more accurate and more GPS friendly than the Irish Grid Reference system. This will be used on the next generation of Irish OS maps.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — You again!
Ray versus Tom.
Tom versus Ray.
Oh yeah, the Ravens and Patriots, along for the ride. Ray Lewis' last ride, one Tom Brady hopes to cut short on Sunday in the AFC championship game.
A year after a brutal last-minute loss in Foxborough, Baltimore is back, looking for a reversal of fortune and a spot in the Super Bowl for the first time since winning it in 2001.
If the Ravens fall again, Lewis' superb 17-year career as the NFL's best linebacker of his era will end as he retires.
Brady, the most successful quarterback of his time, has no thoughts of retirement — or of failing to make his sixth Super Bowl in the last dozen seasons.
That Lewis and Brady will bring a mutual admiration society to Gillette Stadium adds some flattery to what has become an intense rivalry.
"Both sides understand the game of football," Lewis said. "There have been some great, great rivalries and we have one of those going on with New England now."
Adds Brady: "It's really a pleasure to play against him. He's really been so consistent over the years and durable and tough. He's so instinctive."
At the forefront in this rematch, naturally, is Brady, who has won three NFL titles and would be only the second player to reach six Super Bowls by leading New England (13-4) past Baltimore (12-6). And there's Lewis, the most dominant inside linebacker the league has seen since the heyday of Mike Singletary.
Brady is all about composure, accuracy and even sophistication.
Lewis brings aggression, ferocity and mayhem to the field.
An odd couple, indeed, but one that appreciates the attributes of the other.
"He doesn't give up hardly any plays, makes a ton of tackles," Brady said of the 37-year-old Lewis, who missed 10 games with a right triceps injury, but has been a tackling machine in the postseason. "He's great in the pass game, great in the run game. He blitzes well, like he did a few years ago. He's really a playmaker for them, so they give him an opportunity to make those plays. You see when he makes a play, their whole sideline gets really amped-up."
No one can be more amped-up for this opportunity than Lewis. No one, of course, raises his teammates to a more fevered pitch than Lewis.
But what the Ravens need Sunday is discipline to go with the fervor. Otherwise, Brady will pick them apart.
For all the energy and clutch plays Baltimore's defense has made since Lewis returned, it remains vulnerable because it's three biggest stars — Lewis, safety Ed Reed, outside LB Terrell Suggs — are aging and not nearly 100 percent healthy.
There's also the exhaustion factor: The Ravens have played one more postseason game than the Patriots, and went into the sixth period last week at Denver.
"In all honesty, I thought we were as fresh in the overtime game the other day as we looked at any time during the year," Ravens defensive coordinator Dean Pees said. "I think at this point in time during the year, too, everybody is a little fatigued.
"But at the same time, your adrenaline is pumping, and the emotion is a lot different now than it is if you're playing the seventh ballgame of the season playing 87 plays.
"It's just different. You've got to find a way to pull a little more out of you, and I think the guys do. I think everybody does that — both teams."
The leaders of those teams, Brady and Lewis, aren't exactly one-man bands. Indeed, Brady seems to make everyone into a star — witness third-string running back Shane Vereen's three touchdowns against Houston — and Lewis isn't the best Raven on defense right now, end Paul Kruger is.
Baltimore must deal with Wes Welker and Aaron Hernandez, Brady's top targets — star tight end Rob Gronkowski is out with a broken left arm — and 1,000-yard rusher Stevan Ridley. The Ravens need to find a way to penetrate a line that yielded only 27 sacks, second in the AFC.
Kruger (nine sacks in regular season, 2½ in playoffs) is the main threat, and Suggs has been coming on since returning from an Achilles tendon injury. DT Haloti Ngata is a handful, as good as his counterpart with the Patriots, Vince Wilfork.
With only 13 interceptions during the season, the Ravens weren't a big threat to steal the ball. But they got two off Peyton Manning last week and one on Andrew Luck the previous game.
It also must be remembered that Ravens QB Joe Flacco outplayed Brady in the 23-20 AFC championship defeat last January. Flacco and receivers Anquan Boldin, Torrey Smith and Jacoby Jones have been particularly dangerous on deep balls in this postseason.
No matter who finds his way into the spotlight, though, he won't shove aside Lewis or Brady.
Lewis thinks it is an honor to face Manning and then Brady in consecutive weeks. Then again, it's a necessity if Lewis is going to end his career hoisting the Lombardi Trophy.
"You're talking about arguably the top two or three greatest quarterbacks of all time," Lewis said. "So when you go from Peyton Manning to Tom Brady, you're going from 1A to 1A. It's not like you get a drop-off.
"I'd back up to the same fact we had last week. Is he going to make plays? Absolutely. But you have to play the whole game. You have to be patient enough to let them make plays and move on to the next play. ... They play chess matches.
"Playing against Brady and just watching him sometimes, you're always in awe on watching on how good he really is."
Better not watch too much, Ray. Or retirement will be at hand.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — You again!

It's showtime.
While the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens battle each other on the field during Super Bowl XLVII, advertisers will compete against each on advertising's biggest stage.
The stakes are high, with 30-second spots going for as much as $4 million this year. And more than more than 111 million viewers are expected to tune in.
About 28 of the 35-plus advertisers released ads early this year, trying to get a head start on capturing the buzz on social media sites. But early buzz is no guarantee viewers will remember your spot the day after the big game. And of course, some advertisers are waiting for Sunday night for the big reveal of their spots, including M&Ms, Chrysler, Oreo and BlackBerry.
"What we see on the night of the game is really important," said Kelly O'Keefe, professor at a professor, creative brand management, at the Virginia Commonwealth University Brandcenter.
Here are some ads to look for during Super Bowl commercial breaks:
-- Samsung is going big with a humorous two-minute ad starring actors Seth Rogan ("The Guilt Trip") and Paul Rudd ("Role Models") that features its Galaxy phones and tablets
--Anheuser-Busch aims for the heartstrings with an ad showing a baby Clydesdale growing up. And Godaddy.com is showing a close up of an extended kiss between supermodel Bar Refaeli and guy wearing glasses.
.-- Kraft enlists Tracy Morgan from NBC's "30 Rock" to introduce its new Mio Fit water enhancing drops in a 30-second ad during the third quarter.
-- Best Buy's 30-second ad in the first quarter stars Amy Poehler, of NBC's "Parks and Rec," asking a Best Buy employee "lots of questions."
-- The Milk Processor Education Program, known as MilkPep and popular for its "Got Milk?" print ads, is featuring actor and professional wrestler Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in a 30-second ad in the second quarter
-- Calvin Klein will show male model Matthew Terry strutting in underwear.
--Gildan Activewear's ad shows a man waking up "the morning after" and trying to get his t-shirt off his sleeping companion.
-- First-time advertiser Axe's 30-second ad in the third quarter of the game shows a woman in the ocean getting rescued by a sexy lifeguard, but going for an astronaut instead.
-- Hyundai Motor Group's Kia invents a fanciful way that babies are made, blasting in from a baby planet in its "Space babies" ad for the 2014 Sorento crossover. The E(asterisk)Trade talking baby will make a seventh appearance in the Big Game.

On Sunday night, Brazilian websites began posting the names, photos and bios of the more than 230 victims of that morning's horrific nightclub fire in the southern city of Santa Maria. What stands out is that half of them were college students from the Universidade Federal de Santa Maria's agronomy department. Among them: André Cadore Bosser, a forestry-engineering student; Benhur Retzlaff Rodrigues, a civil-engineering student; Susiele Cassol, just 19, a food-engineering student. Beautiful, bright kids. And, as it turns out, kids Brazil particularly needed.
(PHOTOS: Chaos Outside Brazil Nightclub Fire That Killed More than 200)
Any death in a senseless catastrophe like this is heartbreaking, and a college student's life is certainly no more valuable than anyone else's. But the mass demise of science scholars carries a potent symbolism for Brazil — especially for President Dilma Rousseff, who through her Science Without Borders program has made it a crusade to produce tens of thousands more STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) graduates as the South American giant reaches for a developed future that seems so close but in many ways remains so far. Rousseff said perhaps more than she knew when she arrived on the coffin-clogged streets of Santa Maria on Sunday and called the carnage in front of her "a tragedy for all of us" in Brazil. It is, in fact, a tragedy that may mark a turning point for the nation.
And, despite its searing pain, a potentially useful turning point. For the past decade, Brazil has celebrated a remarkable boom that made it the world's sixth largest economy. It added almost 40 million people to the middle class — creating almost 20 millionaires a week at one point. But that carnaval has stalled: Brazil saw just 1% economic growth last year, and it has to get a lot more serious about structural reforms, from less corruption and red tape to more infrastructure and high tech, if it's going to take its next step to the First World — and if it wants to be a successful host of next year's soccer World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
(VIDEO: Raw Footage of Chaotic Emergency Response to Brazil Nightclub Fire)
Santa Maria, in that regard, could turn out to be a wake-up call. That's not so much because the fire will raise complaints about lax Third-World practices — lest we forget, the U.S. suffered a similar nightclub blaze 10 years ago in Rhode Island that killed 100 — but rather because it comes at a moment when Brazil is already feeling a little less samba and a little more sober as it assesses where it is and where it's going. In a more immediate sense, yes, that should include quotidian concerns like nightclub regulation. Brazil has experienced a massive expansion in credit-card ownership, which ought to make customer transactions at clubs like Kiss, the site of the Santa Maria inferno, an easier and more reliable process. Yet too many club owners in developing countries like Brazil continue the archaic practice of blocking the exits late at night to make sure patrons don't skip out on their tabs. Survivors allege that security guards were indeed obstructing the only accessible door at the illegally overcrowded Kiss as people tried to flee the fire and their bodies began piling up.
But that criminal image is also bound to make Brazil's 200 million people more introspective in a broader sense. Authorities have begun to make arrests in Santa Maria, including those of club owners and members of the band that allegedly shot flares during its stage act and started the fire (which also injured some 200 people). Still, there are few institutions that Brazilians doubt more — and few institutions that do more, they say, to inhibit the nation's modernization — than their legal system, which even the chief justice of Brazil's Supreme Tribunal of Justice recently said seems set up to make sure powerful people never see prison when they break the law.
(MORE: Tale of Two Corruptos: Brazil and Mexico on Different Transparency Paths)
In fact, Brazil just finished the largest and most high-profile corruption trial in its history, and 25 people — including José Dirceu, the chief of staff of former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva — were convicted. Many Brazilians are skeptical that prison sentences for figures like Dirceu will ever be carried out, largely because it's never happened before in Brazil. But if Brazil wants to be the kind of country where small-time nightclub club owners in Santa Maria fear the law, it's got to be the kind of country where big-time political brokers in Brasília fear the law.
And if it wants to become a developed economy, it also needs tens of thousands more scientists and engineers. The good news is that Rousseff, herself an economist, looks serious about battling corruption and promoting technology. The pictures of bright young Brazilian science students dying in feloniously negligent circumstances may move Brazilians to take those matters more seriously alongside her. If so, then some of Brazil's positive future may rise out of the ashes of Santa Maria.

(ECG, EKG, Resting ECG, Resting EKG)
What is an Electrocardiogram?
An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is one of the simplest and fastest procedures used to evaluate the heart. Electrodes (small, plastic patches) are placed at certain locations on the chest, arms, and legs. When the electrodes are connected to an ECG machine by lead wires, the electrical activity of the heart is measured, interpreted, and printed out for the doctor's information and further interpretation.
Other related procedures that may be used to assess the heart include exercise electrocardiogram (ECG), Holter monitor, signal-averaged ECG, cardiac catheterization, chest X-ray, computed tomography (CT scan) of the chest, echocardiography, electrophysiological studies, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the heart, myocardial perfusion scans, radionuclide angiography, and cardiac CT scan. Please see these procedures for additional information.
The Heart's Electrical Conduction System
The heart is, in the simplest terms, a pump made up of muscle tissue. The heart's pumping action is regulated by an electrical conduction system that coordinates the contraction of the various chambers of the heart.
An electrical stimulus is generated by the sinus node (also called the sinoatrial node, or SA node), which is a small mass of specialized tissue located in the right atrium (right upper chamber) of the heart.
The sinus node generates an electrical stimulus regularly at 60 to 100 times per minute under normal conditions. This electrical stimulus travels down through the conduction pathways (similar to the way electricity flows through power lines from the power plant to your house) and causes the heart's lower chambers to contract and pump out blood. The right and left atria (the two upper chambers of the heart) are stimulated first and contract a short period of time before the right and left ventricles (the two lower chambers of the heart).
This electrical activity of the heart is measured by an electrocardiogram. By placing electrodes at specific locations on the body (chest, arms, and legs), a graphic representation, or tracing, of the electrical activity can be obtained. Changes in an ECG from the normal tracing may indicate one or more of several heart-related conditions.The electrical impulse travels from the sinus node to the atrioventricular node (also called AV node), where impulses are slowed down for a very short period, then continue down the conduction pathway via the bundle of His into the ventricles. The bundle of His divides into right and left pathways to provide electrical stimulation to the right and left ventricles.
Understanding ECG Tracings
Almost everyone knows what a basic ECG tracing looks like. But what does it mean?
The first short upward notch of the ECG tracing is called the "P wave." The P wave indicates that the atria (the two upper chambers of the heart) are contracting to pump out blood.
The next part of the tracing is a short downward section connected to a tall upward section. This next part is called the "QRS complex." This part indicates that the ventricles (the two lower chambers of the heart) are contracting to pump out blood.
The PR interval corresponds to the time measured from the beginning of the P wave to the beginning of the R (or Q) wave. The PR interval indicates the amount of time the electrical impulses take to reach the ventricles from the sinus node.
The next short upward segment is called the "ST segment." The ST segment indicates the amount of time from the end of the contraction of the ventricles to the beginning of the rest period before the ventricles begin to contract for the next beat.
The next upward curve is called the "T wave." The T wave indicates the resting period of the ventricles.
When the doctor views an ECG, he or she studies the size and length of each part of the ECG. Variations in size and length of the different parts of the tracing may be significant. The tracing for each lead of a 12-lead ECG will look different, but will have the same basic components as described above. Each lead of the 12-lead ECG is "looking" at a specific part of the heart, so variations in a lead may indicate a problem with the part of the heart associated with a particular lead.
Reasons for the Procedure
Some reasons for your doctor to request an ECG include, but are not limited to, the following:
- To determine the cause of chest pain
- To evaluate other signs and symptoms which may be heart-related, such as fatigue, shortness of breath, dizziness, or fainting
- To identify irregular heartbeats
- To determine the status of the heart prior to procedures such as surgery and/or after treatment for conditions such as a heart attack (myocardial infarction, or MI), endocarditis (inflammation or infection of one or more of the heart valves), or after procedures such as heart surgery or cardiac catheterization
- To assess the function of an implanted pacemaker
- To determine the effectiveness of certain heart medications
- To obtain a baseline tracing of the heart's function during a physical examination that may be used as a comparison with future ECGs, to determine if any changes have occurred
There may be other reasons for your doctor to recommend an ECG.
Risks of the Procedure
An ECG is a quick, noninvasive method of assessing the heart's function. Risks associated with ECG are minimal and rare.
Prolonged application of the adhesive electrode patches may cause tissue breakdown or skin irritation at the application site.
There may be other risks depending on your specific medical condition. Be sure to discuss any concerns with your doctor prior to the procedure.
Certain factors or conditions may interfere with or affect the results of the test. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Obesity, pregnancy, or ascites (accumulation of fluid in the abdomen)
- Anatomical considerations, such as the size of the chest and the location of the heart within the chest
- Movement during the procedure
- Exercise or smoking prior to the procedure
- Certain medications
- Electrolyte abnormalities, such as too much or too little potassium, magnesium, and/or calcium in the blood
The Procedure
Before the Procedure:
- Your doctor or the technician will explain the procedure to you and offer you the opportunity to ask any questions that you might have about the procedure.
- Generally, fasting is not required before the test.
- Notify your doctor of all medications (prescribed and over-the-counter) and herbal supplements that you are taking.
- Notify your doctor if you have a pacemaker.
- Based on your medical condition, your doctor may request other specific preparation.
During the Procedure:
An ECG may be performed on an outpatient basis or as part of your stay in a hospital. Procedures may vary depending on your condition and your doctor's practices.
Generally, an ECG follows this process:
- You will be asked to remove any jewelry or other objects that may interfere with the procedure.
- You will be asked to remove clothing from the waist up. The technician will ensure your privacy by covering you with a sheet or gown and exposing only the necessary skin.
- You will lie flat on a table or bed for the procedure. It will be important for you to lie still and not talk during the procedure, so as not to interfere with the tracing.
- If your chest, arms, or legs are very hairy, the technician may shave or clip small patches of hair, as needed, so that the electrodes will stick closely to the skin.
- Electrodes will be attached to your chest, arms, and legs.
- The lead wires will be attached to the skin electrodes.
- Once the leads are attached, the technician may key in identifying information about you into the machine's computer.
- The ECG will be started. It will take only a short time for the tracing to be completed.
- Once the tracing is completed, the technician will disconnect the leads and remove the skin electrodes.
After the Procedure:
- You should be able to resume your normal diet and activities, unless your doctor instructs you differently.
- Generally, there is no special care following an ECG.
- Notify your doctor if you develop any signs or symptoms you had prior to the test (for example, chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, or fainting).
- Your doctor may give you additional or alternate instructions after the procedure, depending on your particular situation.

NEW YORK >> The end came quietly for this year's New York Yankees. No celebrations. No titles. No October baseball.
Curtis Granderson was batting in the eighth inning Wednesday night when the Cleveland Indians completed a 7-2 win over the Chicago White Sox. And with that, the Yankees were mathematically eliminated from postseason contention in the middle of the season's final week, even before they finished an 8-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays.
New York failed to make the postseason for the first time since 2008 and for only the second time in 19 years. Mariano Rivera will be in the bullpen Thursday night for his final game at Yankee Stadium — he'll be there in a regular season game with nothing at stake for New York, rather than on the postseason stage where he solidified his credentials as the greatest relief pitcher ever.
"I'll be there for the fans. They deserve it," the 43-year-old said. "But it don't mean anything. I'm not used to pitching for something that doesn't mean anything. I wanted to pitch for something that means something."
Evan Longoria homered twice as the Rays won their sixth straight and lowered their magic number over Texas to three for clinching an AL wild-card berth.
Slowed by age and hobbled by injury, the Yankees (82-76) failed to claim one of the 10 playoffs berths despite baseball's highest opening-day payroll at $230 million.
"It's extremely disappointing, and back to the drawing board," manager Joe Girardi said. "It hurts."
Since starting the latest run of success in 1995, New York had missed the playoffs only in 2008 — when the team bid goodbye to old Yankee Stadium. This time, the Yankees are saying so long to Rivera and Andy Pettitte, who are retiring when the season ends Sunday.
New York trailed by just one game for the second wild-card berth earlier this month before a series opener at Boston on Friday the 13th. But the Yankees have lost eight of 11, including three in a row. Before a quiet crowd of 37,260, they were eliminated from contention for a playoff berth on their own field for the first time since 1991.
"It's a really sad feeling," said Robinson Cano, the All-Star second baseman who figures to secure a nine-figure contract this offseason. "The fun part of this game is playoffs. I'm really sad right now, and it's going to stick in my head, in my mind, until next season."
Phil Hughes (4-14) allowed three runs and seven hits in two innings-plus, walking slowly to the dugout and looking up to the stands when he was removed from what likely was his final start with the Yankees.
"Just a tough way to end things here — not making the postseason," Hughes said.
A key part of the Yankees' 2009 title team as a reliever, Hughes went 0-7 with a 6.09 ERA in 13 starts since beating Minnesota on July 2. He is eligible for free agency after the World Series.
"A lot of good times. A lot of bad times, I guess," he said. "That's the way life is sometimes."
Reliever Joba Chamberlain, also eligible for free agency, didn't even wait for mathematical elimination to prepare for his departure. Before batting practice, he started putting his locker belongings into a large box.
New York started the season 30-18 and was in first place on the morning of May 26, but the solid start was not enough to overcome injuries to four All-Star regulars: shortstop Derek Jeter, third baseman Alex Rodriguez, first baseman Mark Teixeira and Granderson.
Sidelined by the ankle he broke in last year's AL championship series opener, Jeter didn't make his season debut until right before the All-Star break and wound up playing just 17 games because of recurring leg injuries.
Teixeira, who injured a hand while with the U.S. team at World Baseball Classic in March, played in just 15 games and needed season-ending surgery. Rodriguez, coming back from hip surgery, and Granderson, the center fielder who broke a forearm and pinkie when hit by pitches, each played about one-third of the season.
In all, the Yankees have had a major league-leading 28 stints on the disabled list by 21 different players, according to STATS, and have missed 1,461 days — more than four years' worth.
New York's home runs dropped from a team-record 245 last year to 143 this season — on pace to be the Yankees' fewest in a non-strike season since 1989. The departure of free agents Raul Ibanez, Nick Swisher, Russell Martin and Eric Chavez contributed to the power outage.
"At times we'd play good enough, but we just haven't been consistent enough," said sparkplug outfielder Brett Gardner, out since straining his ribcage on Sept. 12.
As for the Rays, Longoria drove in four runs and David Price (9-8) ended a five-start winless streak, one shy of his career worst. Price allowed two runs and six hits in seven innings with eight strikeouts and no walks.
Longoria hit a three-run homer in the sixth off David Huff, and David DeJesus hit his second of the season on the next pitch. Longoria homered in the ninth off Preston Claiborne, his 31st of the season and ninth in 18 games this year against the Yankees.
After it was over, the usually positive but now somber Girardi thought back to the promise of the September series at Fenway Park, when New York was coming off three straight wins at Baltimore.
"We were right there," he said.
He kept believing until he saw the final score in Cleveland.
"Today," he concluded, "was probably a reality check for me."
NOTES: Somewhat appropriately on the day New York was eliminated, it was Charlie Brown bobblehead night. … The Yankees put LHP CC Sabathia on the 15-day DL retroactive to Saturday and activated DH Travis Hafner, who had been sidelined since late July with a rotator cuff strain. … In a home plate presentation by Jeter and Rivera, Pettitte was given a framed base from his final Yankee Stadium start Sunday, signed by the team.
