Venture out into East Baltimore's McElderry Park neighborhood after a shooting and you're likely to come across Gardnel Carter, a hulking, 48-year-old man who spent two decades in prison for murder. Along with a crew of men with similar backgrounds, dressed in matching orange and black jackets, he mingles with drug dealers and gang members, discussing what went down and going over their next moves. Police cruisers often pull up, with officers barking for them to scatter. But Carter isn't one of the usual suspects.

Joe Flacco looked like he had just been in a street fight. This was minutes after the Ravens' 17-15 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, with M&T Bank Stadium emptying the way a funeral service empties. Flacco had a nasty cut on one forearm and a dark knot forming on his forehead. But as he addressed the media, you sensed that most of the pain the Ravens quarterback felt was internal. "It's a game that we thought we could have won," he said softly. "When you come down to the end like that and you come up short, and it was because I made a dumb play and threw an interception in a tight situation.

The girl was on life support last night at University of Maryland Medical Center, where Mayor Sheila Dixon said her family was distraught and looking for answers. At the crime scene, swarms of people crowded around an intersection within view of two small, pink sandals and a pool of blood on Pulaski Street.

MENIEH, Lebanon -- After almost a week of street battles that left scores dead and threatened to push the country into open war, long-simmering Sunni-Shiite tensions here have sharply worsened, in an ominous echo of the civil conflict in Iraq. Hezbollah's brief takeover of Beirut led to brutal counterattacks in northern Lebanon, where Sunni Muslims deeply resented the Shiite militant group's display of power. The violence energized radical Sunni factions, including some affiliated with al-Qaida, and extremist Sunni Web sites across the Arab world have been buzzing with calls for a jihad to avenge the wounded pride of Lebanese Sunnis.

So now I'll have to scratch bowling off my list of recreational activities, thanks to the nasty thug who stabbed Baltimore Ravens linebacker Roderick Green last weekend. Green was treated at Sinai Hospital and should recover fully from his wound. He showed the better part of valor when he ran from his assailant and escaped further injury, according to a Sun article, by managing to "outdistance his assailant." There's much to be said for having 4.6 speed in the 40-yard dash. In fact, Green's putting distance between himself and his attacker was not only smart but downright honorable.
