Steve Frazer from Reisterstown was looking for the recipe for the chocolate chip cake that used to be sold at Miller's Delicatessen in Northwest Baltimore in the 1970s. He remembers that it was a very dense cake and most likely made with sour cream with an abundance of tiny chocolate chips and a sugary crunchy topping. I received an email from Leslie Miller-Scherr of Baltimore in response to Frazer's query. She said that her family was the original owner of Miller's deli and that she remembers the cake well.

Chris Hasbrouck is not happy that St. Mary's dropped its regular-season finale to Capital Athletic Conference rival York last Saturday, and the coach wants to see his players show a little emotion when they meet Wesley in the first round of the conference tournament this Wednesday at Seahawk Stadium in St. Mary's City. “We need to go in there with a little bit of a chip on our shoulder,” Hasbrouck said Tuesday morning. “They knew that for a lot of reasons, we let a great opportunity slip by. I think we play better when we feel like there's more at stake.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Intel Corp. said yesterday that it had temporarily halted production of its 50 megahertz 486 chip, the new high-speed version of its most powerful microprocessor, because of problems in manufacturing and testing.Intel said that it believed the problem could be solved quickly, possibly in a few days.In the meantime, the company has asked computer-makers to suspend shipments of personal computers that use the chip.The problem, which is linked to high-temperature and high-frequency use of the chip, causes software to hang up. The problem could result in the loss of data without warning.

NEW YORK -- Blue-chip stocks fell sharply yesterday in heavy trading, almost erasing Wednesday's gains, while the broader market was mixed. Investors grew cautious, analysts said, as many earnings reports failed to justify the market's current lofty levels, and a weak bond market failed to offer support.The Dow Jones industrial average fell 29.07 points, to 3,226.74, as New York Stock Exchange volume reached 234.6 million shares traded, up from 228.1 million Wednesday. Losing issues slightly outpaced gainers as the Big Board composite index slipped 1.30, to 228.89.

NEW ORLEANS -- The older brother will beat the younger brother again. Super Bowl XLVII will be nothing more than a repeat, at least victory wise, of the 2011 Thanksgiving Day game between the two teams when John Harbaugh's Ravens beat Jim Harbaugh's San Francisco 49ers, 16-6. If you look down the rosters and compare personnel, the 49ers have better players and are more balanced. But the Ravens are riding emotion and after two years of failing in the postseason, their playmakers are making plays.

When Chip Riley urges Ravens fans to get fired up, he knows whereof he speaks. A 25-year veteran of the Baltimore County Fire Department who retired in 2006, Riley spends his time at Ravens home games exhorting his fellow fans to get a little crazy. Decked out in a Ravens-emblazoned fire helmet and face paint that makes his head look like it's on fire, the fan known as "Fired Up" gets as much of a kick from the people around him as they do from him. "I'm mainly there to get everybody fired up," he says.

Ordering fish and chips at a place named Basta Pasta might seem like a stretch. But in fairness, the Lutherville restaurant's full name is Basta Pasta Italian & Seafood Restaurant, and it ably handles both fish and pasta. Judging from a recent order of fish and chips, it's clear the fry cook knows his business - the coating on the fresh filet was crisp, without a hint of oil visible. The fish is actually local rockfish, which elevates the classic English street fare to sit-down restaurant status.

Denison enters this NCAA tournament quarterfinal with a 15-1 record and a six-game winning streak. But the Big Red's only loss of the season occurred April 7 at the hands of Stevenson, which is 17-4 and has won five of its last six contests. The Mustangs are 3-1 all-time against Denison and have won 12 of 13 games at home this season, most recently against Gettysburg in the second round last Saturday night. Here are a few factors that could influence the outcome at Mustang Stadium in Owings Mills Wednesday night.

Hope, humor and determination abounded at the unveiling today of the " Healthy Harbor " plan. Now comes the hard part - following through, so kids like 12-year-olds Dana and Diamond Johnson can feel safe swimming and fishing in Baltimore's waters by the time they're adults. The plan produced by the Waterfront Partnership - a coalition of businesses, nonprofit groups and city agencies - lays out a detailed roadmap for attacking the sewage, trash and storm-water runoff that makes the harbor and the region's streams risky for wading or other recreation.

Marshawn Lynch doesn't even rank among the top 25 rushers in the NFL this season, but the Seattle Seahawks running back is coming off a 23-carry, 135-yard performance against the Dallas Cowboys last Sunday. Lynch certainly has the attention of the Ravens, who will meet the Seahawks on Sunday. “Some of them you have a certain label [on]. He's quick, he's fast, he's this, but Marshawn Lynch is a complete football player,” inside linebacker Ray Lewis said Wednesday. “He has every ability to make any run, any cut. I think the exciting part about him is that he plays with a certain passion.

The potato-chip maker that bet its customers they couldn't "eat just one" now is trying to appeal to customer fears of being fat. In response to growing concerns about obesity, Frito-Lay Inc. is trumpeting a new, healthier chip that lacks trans fat, dubbed the "bad fat" by nutritionists. The Plano, Texas-based company is cooking its Lay's potato chips, Doritos, Fritos, Ruffles, Tostitos and Cheetos in oils that contain no trans fats. It began marketing the change this week in full-page advertisements in dozens of major newspapers and Hispanic publications.

Jake Arrieta was back in the Orioles clubhouse Sunday with his right arm in a sling just a couple of days after Dr. Lewis Yocum removed a very large bone spur and some smaller bone chips from his right elbow. Arrieta showed off the spur — which was about the size of a peanut — and predicted that he'll begin a throwing program in early December. He said he was a little relieved when he was told that the surgery went well, but was confident going into the operating room that he would not need a major reconstruction.

When the Orioles acquired several players on one-year deals this offseason, it was expected that they'd have a surplus of trade bait if they were out of contention in the summer. Well, it's late July and the Orioles are again buried in the American League East. Yet the two Orioles drawing the most interest as Sunday's 4 p.m. non-waiver trade deadline looms - reliever Koji Uehara and starter Jeremy Guthrie - could contractually remain under team control through next season. The other intriguing trade chip, shortstop J.J. Hardy, signed a three-year extension earlier this month and is now off the market.
