As Jean Thomas helped her husband load furniture and boxes into a U-Haul truck parked outside their West Baltimore home Tuesday afternoon, she worried that she'd run out of time. She had lost a fight to stay in the rent-subsidized rowhouse on North Fremont Avenue where she and her husband, Sherman, had lived for seven years, recently with their daughter and four young grandchildren. Sheriff's deputies could arrive any minute to lock them out. The eviction deadline was Tuesday.

Since June 14, Joe Flacco has not only been a husband, a son and the starting quarterback for the Ravens. He's also been a father. On that day, Flacco and his wife, Dana, welcomed Stephen Vincent Flacco, and Joe Flacco's world hasn't been the same since. “It's just exciting for me,” said Flacco, who spoke at length about his new role Thursday after the Ravens' first practice of training camp at the team's complex in Owings Mills. “I've always wanted to have a family of my own. To get to that point, it's kind of unreal.

Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank wondered recently what it must have been like to be married to Maryland coach Randy Edsall  during the tribulations accompanying  the 2-10  season of 2011. “How would that feel?” Plank asked rhetorically. So I decided to ask the coach's wife. I filed a profile of  Eileen Edsall for today's paper . Here are some additional quotes from the interview: (On his image) "I think they (media members) thought he came in and tried to make it all about him. Because they were his rules and this and that.

Sometimes on football Saturdays, Randy Edsall's wife will slip into the Gossett Team House auditorium, barely noticed by the media assembled to hear the Maryland coach's post-game remarks. Thirteen years after her husband first became a head coach, Eileen Edsall is as passionate as ever about his career, but is practiced at fading into her football surroundings so as not to become part of the story. With all eyes fixed on the lectern where her husband is standing, the former basketball and volleyball standout -- who was once named the top female athlete at Syracuse University -- will position herself near the back of the room, silently sharing his good moments and enduring the bad. Being a head coach's wife is a little like being the first lady.

Iggies , the popular purveyor of thin-crust pizzas, is moving out of Mount Vernon. The new location will be in the Riderwood Station shopping center in Towson, near Joppa Road and Bellona Avenue. The move is "95 percent" certain, said Peter Wood, a familiar presence at the BYOB restaurant owned by his wife, Lisa Henkman. Wood said there are still a few zoning issues to work out at the new location, which has never been used for a restaurant. Wood said the primary reason for the move, which could happen as soon as November, comes down to "lifestyle.

The Maryland Court of Special Appeals upheld a Baltimore County man's conviction in the death of his wife who went missing the night she was supposed to go to a Motley Crue concert in Washington and whose body was never found. Dennis J. Tetso, 47, who was found guilty of second-degree murder in the presumed death of Tracey Leigh Gardner, lost his appeal that argued a lack of insufficient evidence to support conviction for second-degree murder. Although Gardner's body was never recovered, the court's opinion agreed with the state's arguments that Gardner's disappearance and lack of contact with family and friends and use of credit cards was enough to show that Gardner was dead.

Finlayson, who's a 59-year-old wife and mother, was driving down Charles Street, heading home from her workout and chatting on the car phone with her twin sister who lives in Jersey.
