A state senator wants a new state bird; one man's technolgical fortress is his castle; and the Senate president feels snubbed by Obama.
It's not a statue in front of the office building that bares his name but Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller did receive a bust of himself this week courtesy of the Regional Manufacturing Institute. Sen. Kathy Klausmeier, a Perry Hall Democrat, gave a sneak preview of the small, light-weight bust of Miller moments before presenting it to the Senate's top dog. "You can't have too much Mike Miller," Klausmeier said. The technology is similar to what was used in a scene of Jurassic Park 3 where a copy of a velociraptor's larynx was recreated. The institute offered legislators in Annapolis the opportunity to have themselves scanned into a computer and get busts of themselves. Miller seemed impressed with the petite bust but joked that it …

Fans gathered at the Inner Harbor to cheer on the Ravens as they left for New Orleans on Monday.
The ice and rain Monday morning didn't stop the Baltimore faithful from crowding the Inner Harbor to rally around the Ravens as they departed for New Orleans and Super Bowl XLVII. Lucky kids who got off school sat on shoulders, 20-somethings belted Ravens chants and several of the football players themselves were seen snapping photos and video of the send-off. Future Hall of Fame linebacker Ray Lewis gave credit to the fans, without whom the franchise would not exist. "Baltimore, Baltimore—there is no Ravens without you guys," said Lewis, who announced his retirement at the beginning of the postseason. "We did this in 2000, and we're not going to New Orleans for nothing else but to bring back another ring to Baltimore." Gov. Martin O'…

Patch is looking for fans in west Anne Arundel County heading to New Orleans to support the Ravens.
Well, the Baltimore Ravens are now one win away from glory. Two straight playoff road wins means a date in New Orleans to face the San Francisco 49ers. We want to find people from west Anne Arundel County heading to the Super Bowl. We know many fans will make the trip, because Ravens fans have shown they can travel. Sunday's AFC Championship game was played in Foxborough, but you could hear the "Seven Nation Army" chant through the TV screen. Ravens players and coaches took notice. "We might have had one-eighth of the crowd, which is really a high number for a visiting AFC Championship game. That speaks so much about our fans," Harbaugh said when talking to the media Monday in Owings Mills. "For all of those people to make that trip up …

Both local teams have opening-round playoff games Sunday. Here's where to watch in west Anne Arundel County.
Local sports fans have been pretty spoiled in recent months. After the Nationals and Orioles each made the baseball playoffs last fall, the Redskins and Ravens have followed with postseason berths of their own. We are right in the middle of Ravens and Redskins country, and thankfully there is no shortage of places to watch the games. The Ravens will play Sunday at 1 p.m. against the Indianapolis Colts, in what may be Ray Lewis' final game. The surging Redskins will take on the Seattle Seahawks at 4:30 p.m. In theory, you could park yourself at a local joint and watch football all afternoon. (But do the owners a favor and actually order some food while you're there.) Here's a look at some local places with great environments to watch …
