1 Patriots play keep-away. New England controls the ball offensively, ranking second in the NFL in time of possession (35:56). If the Ravens' defense can't stop the Patriots on third down, Joe Flacco will be a spectator at Gillette Stadium. 2 Jump balls to Randy Moss. Everyone knows how the Ravens struggled against San Diego's big receivers. The challenge doesn't get any tougher than Moss, a 6-foot-4 playmaker who has 26 receptions this season (the most he has ever had after three games)

The Ravens' defense might be the most well-informed unit when it comes to New England Patriots wide receiver Randy Moss. Cornerback Fabian Washington and secondary coach Chuck Pagano played with Moss when the trio was with the Oakland Raiders in 2005 and 2006, and cornerback Domonique Foxworth matched up against Moss during those same two seasons when Foxworth played for the Denver Broncos. "Yeah, I know a lot about Randy," Washington said Wednesday. "A lot of guys have been talking to me, picking my brain about what I know.

1 Injuries hit wide receivers. Derrick Mason and Mark Clayton have been durable throughout their careers, but both have dealt with significant injuries in the past year. This already criticized group doesn't have the depth to deal with any losses. 2 Steve Hauschka struggles in his first year as kicker. No one is under the fans' microscope more than Hauschka, who has the unenviable task of replacing Matt Stover. But the real pressure will come when he attempts his first potentially game-winning kick in the fourth quarter.

Almost 5,000 E-ZPass subscribers in the state closed their accounts last month after a $1.50-a-month fee took effect, the Maryland Transportation Authority said Friday.

She disputed published reports that 19,000 customers had filed requests to drop their accounts, saying that was a tally of inquiries about possible cancellation.

Two new ramps linking Interstate 95 to the Baltimore Beltway are scheduled to open for today's morning rush hour, part of the Maryland Transportation Authority's $1.5 billion project to add express toll lanes to the heavily traveled north-south highway. The ramps connect southbound I-95 to eastbound Interstate 695 toward Essex, and to westbound I-695 toward Towson. Motorists headed toward Essex will now use the right lane to exit, instead of the left lane. Teri Moss, an MdTA public information officer, said the configuration is a safety measure true of all the ramps involved in the project.

Question: : My irises haven't bloomed for three years. Leaves come up, but no flowers. Answer: : Your irises may be planted too deeply. This is a classic reason why they fail to bloom, even when foliage is present. The top of the rhizome should be showing at the soil's surface. Irises also require at least six hours of sun a day to bloom, and cannot be allowed to dry out, especially in the critical spring months when buds are set. At the same time, if they are over-watered then you may get some rot, so watering should be done carefully.

A Baltimore man filed a $210 million civil lawsuit yesterday against the city Police Department, a former commissioner and several officers in connection with a 2006 incident during which he says a band of rogue cops held him at gunpoint in the street, stripped him and searched his rectum in front of about 30 onlookers. The federal suit is the second filed since March in U.S. District Court in Baltimore alleging "widespread and persistent" civil rights violations by police officers who belonged to an elite "Special Enforcement Team" that worked mainly in the southeastern part of the city.

Redskins RB Clinton Portis vs. Ravens LB Ray Lewis Portis has great vision and makes cuts easily. He is a threat out of the backfield as a receiver and is one of the best blockers in the NFL among running backs. He is tough and a workhorse. Lewis, after a slight decline, has had strong back-to-back seasons. He is running well sideline to sideline and is one of the best tacklers in the league. Edge:: Lewis: Redskins WR Santana Moss vs. Ravens CB Samari Rolle Moss can flat-out fly. He is basically Derrick Mason with speed.

Haggling - it's not just for flea markets anymore. "My wife thinks I am nuts, as I view retail prices as list [prices] that are quite negotiable," says Richard Hughen, vice president for sales and marketing at CSA Medical Inc., a Baltimore-based medical technology company. "Many times they, in fact, are." With the weak economy persuading more people to shop hard for bargains, many seem to be resorting to good old-fashioned haggling. Not only is technology making it easier, thanks to Web sites that make comparison shopping a breeze, but some stores are even taking tiny steps to encourage it. And it's the big-ticket technology toys that seem to be targeted most often.
