SUPER BOWL XLVI Eli Manning, Giants come from behind, beat Patriots for 2nd time in 4 years
His older brother built this house. Sunday, Eli Manning raised the roof. The sleepy-eyed Giants quarterback woke the past, beating the Patriots in the Super Bowl for the second time in four years — a 21-17 victory at Lucas Oil Stadium. In that 2008 game, the signature play was an against-all-odds completion to David Tyree, who pinned the ball to his helmet as he fell to the ground. This time, the rub-your-eyes reception was a 38-yarder dropped into the hands of Mario Manningham on the winning drive. He beat two defenders and just got his feet inbounds before tumbling out of bounds. The play was unsuccessfully challenged by the Patriots.

At $3.5M per 30-second spot, Super Bowl ads make use of movie imagery
Many of the best-received commercials during Sunday's Super Bowl referenced movies -- they just weren't for movies heading to the local cineplex any time soon. Several car ads that sparked some of the biggest interest on Twitter and other social-media platforms during the big game alluded to classic older films. Meanwhile, studio spots for major upcoming releases -- including Marvel's "Avengers," Universal's "Battleship," Disney's "John Carter" and Paramount's "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" -- passed without any great excitement or anticipation from a large number of online commenters. Companies paid an average of $3.5 million for a 30-second spot, to be seen by what ratings experts believed would be well over 100 million viewers.

Suspect in St. Cloud AK-47 attack left suicide note, loved Satan, cops say
David Penney followed American tradition of lone gunmen angry at society and bent on destruction, records show
David Penney was 7 years old when cops first reported he threatened to kill someone. That was Sept. 28, 2000, at Hickory Tree Elementary School when a school librarian reprimanded him. "I will bring a gun to school and get her next time," teachers heard him say, according to a report filed with the Osceola County Sheriff's Office. When the school's social-skills coordinator intervened, Penney claimed that "I was just going to hit her with the gun, because Dad put the bullets away and has a safety lock on his guns." The incident was resolved by assigning the youngster to complete a stop-and-think drawing.
