Eddie Murray , the former Orioles Hall of Famer, has been linked to an investigation by federal authorities in a wide-ranging insider trading case that already has ensnared teammate Doug DeCinces, according to a Reuters report. Investigators have been trying to determine whether Murray traded on inside information that Abbott Laboratories was about to announce a deal to acquire Advanced Medical Optics for $2.8 billion in 2009, according to the Reuters report. He has not been charged with a crime.

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.

On the wall of Eddie Gaudet's office is a photo of him as a jockey sitting atop a winner in Florida in the 1950s. Tucked in among dozens of snapshots and 8-by-10s spread over three walls, is another from 1966 showing Gaudet as the winning trainer at Bowie Race Track. "He's the dark-haired one," Linda Gaudet said, pointing to the photos of her husband. "He was the Dean Martin type. " "They used to call me Dean Martin," Gaudet, 81, said, his eyes twinkling from under a baseball cap. The walls are an historic collage that will be adding more photos in the new year as the longtime Maryland horse trainer hands off his business to his wife and 23-year-old daughter Lacey.

Editor's note: Each week, InsideMdSports.com provides this blog with a Maryland recruiting feature that previously appeared as premium content on its site. Friendship Collegiate Academy (D.C.) senior Eddie Goldman , the nation's No. 1 defensive tackle and fifth-ranked prospect overall, has long been considered a longshot to end up at Maryland. But with the expected hiring of Mike Locksley as offensive coordinator, the Terps are poised to at least get a long second look.

Edwin F. "Eddie" Hauser, a decorated World War II veteran who landed at Normandy on D-Day, died Sept. 24 of kidney failure at his Ellicott City home. He was 94. Mr. Hauser was born and raised in Baltimore. His mother was a baker, and his father died when he was 3. After graduating from Polytechnic Institute, he worked at Bethlehem Steel Corp. at Sparrows Point. Mr. Hauser enlisted in the Army in 1941 and served in Europe with the fabled 29th Division. A technical sergeant assigned to an artillery unit, he landed at Omaha Beach on the morning of June 6, 1944, with the 29th Division.

Some Baltimore grocery stores that lost power in the hurricane also lost product. The Baltimore City Heath Department is concluding its post-hurricane inspections of Baltimore grocery stores, according to Brian M.  Schleter, the Public information officer for the department. The department had, as of Tuesday afternoon, completed inspections of 109 food facilities, 33 of which had lost power. Some stores were directed to destroy any perishable goods that may have been affected; others, like Eddie's or Roland Park, made the decision on their own after sustained outages.

Stanley Sindler, the lighthearted Eddie's North Charles Street grocery store greeter whose wit and friendliness along with his trademark "Hey, babe" could win over the most harried shopper, died May 26 of pancreatic cancer at Gilchrist Hospice Care. The longtime Pikesville resident was 72. The son of a store owner and a homemaker, Mr. Sindler was born in Baltimore and raised on Park Heights Avenue. During his teenage years, he lived on Rubin Avenue. In 1956, Mr. Sindler dropped out of City College in the 11th grade and enlisted in the Navy, where he served as a radarman.

Eddie Watt lives in peaceful anonymity, in a speck of a town in Nebraska, where the talk is of crops and cows and Cornhusker football. The Orioles? Not a word. Many in North Bend (pop. 1,200) don't know there's a celebrant in their midst. Mention that Watt, 70, a longtime resident, owns two World Series rings and they'd scratch their heads and say, "Eddie What ?" Watt likes it there. After 42 years in baseball — including eight with the Orioles (1966-73) as a bullpen ace — he retired in 2003 and left the game behind.
