Renewed hope for Steam on Linux: Valve job boards looking for engineer to port Windows games
If you recall VP Doug Lombardi's actual words, he never said Steam for Linux was dead -- only that they weren't currently working on it. Maybe that's because they just hadn't found the right man or woman for the job yet. As Sebastian pointed out to me, this doesn't necessarily mean "Steam for desktop Linux" -- it could just as easily have to do with embedded gaming.
Whatever the case may be, the news is certainly a bit more encouraging than Lombardi's interview.

update: as Kaushik points out (as do a few of our friends at Reddit) this one's a tad on the old-and-moldy side. Linux gamers, return to your pining...

Genetically modified food promises to cheaply feed the world, but is it dangerous? The agriculture industry will tell you no, organic food advocates will tell you yes, and science won't give you a firm answer because test results are inconclusive so far.
TechCrunch, meanwhile, won't tell you much on food tech topics like this because we usually focus on what's interesting in Silicon Valley (which hasn't been an agriculture hub for the last 70-odd years).
However, one long-time tech entrepreneur is trying to draw attention to the issue using the latest social media tools, and has gotten some interesting results from Facebook's new Promoted Posts feature (which gives us a convenient angle to cover the larger issue).
Ali Partovi, the founder of LinkExchange and iLike, and an investor in name-brand companies like Facebook, Zappos and Dropbox, has been campaigning for a California proposition that would require food suppliers to tell consumers when they're eating food made from genetically modified organisms.
If the state's voters approve it this November, Proposition 37 will require labels on raw or processed food made from plant or animal products containing GMOs. It will also prohibit labeling or advertising GMO-derived food as "natural." While supporters claim the law could create onerous labeling issues for the industry (unlikely), that's also a problem that they've solved for the 60 other countries where similar labeling is already required, including all of Europe, Russia, India and China.
More obviously, disclosing GMOs in food could give consumers pause, and hurt corporate sales, as organic food advocate Michael Pollan noted in this great New York Times piece last weekend.

"Make every effort to live at peace with all men and to be holy" (Hebrews 12:14).
The temptation, when reading a verse like this, is to separate it into two parts, and then to focus on the part that we like the best. That, however, would be a huge mistake.
For example, if I focus only on the "live at peace with all men" part, then I am tempted to measure my success by avoiding conflict. If that is my goal, then all I have to do is agree with everything that anyone else says or does.
As long as I do not contradict their thoughts, values or actions, I can live at peace with just about anyone. Who will fight with you if you simply let them do whatever they want?
The problem is you do not have real peace. All you have is a lack of aggression. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once pointed out that most people "prefer a negative peace, which is the absence of tension, to a positive peace, which is the presence of justice."
In other words, sometimes the worst thing you can do is just duck your head, and not get involved. An overemphasis on getting along may mean that we do not stand up for truth or make a difference when we see something that really does need to be corrected.
You may not be fighting with anyone, but nothing changes for the better either.
On the other hand, if I focus solely on the "be holy" part, then I have another set of problems. Be holy easily descends into being "Holier than thou." If my goal is to speak the truth, whether you like it or not, then I am likely going to find myself standing alone.
This position also works against the greater good because, even if I am right, my approach makes it so that no one wants to listen to me. No one is helped by a judgmental know-it-all.
What makes this verse both important and instructive is the fact that it says that we are to "make every effort" to do both parts. I have to learn to respect God enough that holy things are really important to me. However, I have to respect people enough that I care about how they hear the things that I am saying.
According to Jesus, the greatest the commandment was to love God and to love people (Matthew 22:37-39). One or the other on its own is not good enough.
Suddenly, that little verse at the top of the page just got a lot more challenging.

Centroamericanto Fest is a private effort to promote Central American music by "Central World Music" and its Spanish web site www.centroamericanto.com, it is sponsored by the Austin non-profit "La Peña Gallery" which provided 501 c3 status and structure for fundraising purposes. The festival has been funded in previous editions by the City of Austin Cultural Arts division, and the City of Austin Music Office.
"Centroamericanto Fest is a platform to showcase music not often heard in Texas," says organizer and founder, Mauricio Callejas, "Centroamericanto Fest highlights the beautiful rhythms, poetic lyrics, and themes that are unique to this part of the world." "We want to bring Central American back to the music map."
Mauricio Callejas, Salvadoran musician, started the website Centroamericanto.com in 2003 to promote the original work of Central American authors. Central American countries en general at that time lacked of the infrastructure to make the music activity an industry and besides of some working orchestras entertaining parties and dances there were not other ways to help musicians to make a living of their craft. Unfortunately the previous statement seems to get worse when it comes to cultural artists, singer songwriters or folk musicians; Centroamericanto wanted to at least provide a way to promote their work to the world wide web.
Centroamericanto.com evolved into a weekly radio program that has been on the air since 2005 and has been broadcasted from different radio stations around the world, currently Sin Fronteras radio of Canada and Radio Monteverde from Costa Rica are actively including Centroamericanto's content in their rotation. Soon after the radio program was launched, the first festivals were organized.
The first festival was held in El Salvador in 2005. It was just the beginning with no greater expectation than getting to know each other after 3 years being part of Centroamericanto.com as virtual members of a community.
We gathered at La Luna Casa y Arte and more than 8 singer-songwriters and bands shared songs with the public, we not only made music, but conversed in an improvised panel about the future of the song as a way of cultural expression and about the song creator as key part of that process. Among the participants were the legendary Yolocamba Ita, Los de a pie, El grupo Trova and Estaban Monge who traveled from Costa Rica to be at the festival.
The second festival happened again in El Salvador in 2008 at the Central American University (UCA) Student Cultural Center and a good group of artists gathered to share music and projects. All that was captured in video and is available here.
Back in the U.S. and after talking with some key people in the Austin's music scene, like Rose Reyes, back then at the visitor beureau music office and Matt Muñoz of the Cactus Cafe, the spark was set to ignite the first adventure of hosting the festival in the U.S. at the live music capital of the world, Austin TX.
In 2011, the third installment of Centroamericanto Fest took place at the legendary Cactus Cafe. The show sold out quickly there were lines of people waiting for seat openings during the first break of the show.
The public was delighted with the performances of Manuel Contreras from El Salvador, Jeana and Juan Carlos Ureña from Costa Rica and Guillermo Anderson from Honduras. The experiment was a success within its limitations but enough to dream about the next edition.
The 2011 edition of the show was supported mainly for small businesses and cultural organizations. La Peña hosted a conversation with the artists to discuss their experiences as musicians in Central America.
The following year in 2012, the bar was raised again, as two events were organized. The Cactus Cafe was again the scenario for the singer-songwriter showcases but a second event had place on Saturday at the Plaza Saltillo on east Austin, it was a familiy friendly free outdoors event.
The artistic offering was expanded as well, as we enjoyed the Panamaian traditional dances of "Floklore y Ritmos de Panama" a local dance company, Austin local Gina Chavez and her band, Jeanna and Juan Carlos Ureña from Costa Rica, Guillermo Anderson on his second year in the festival, also we had Romulo Castro from Panama and Roberto Salamanca from El Salvador. The visiting artists were backed by a group of Austin musicians.
The event at plaza Saltillo brought this music to the heart of the community but it also allowed us to have Central American food vendors, local artisans, local non-profits and the private sector also supported the event as sponsors. The event was covered by the main printed media outlets in both English and Spanish, as well as local TV stations and radio stations.
The following edition of Centroamericanto Fest in 2013 spanned 4 consecutive days and brought to Austin great talent: Rialengo and Flor Urbina from Costa Rica, Juan Solorzano from Nicaragua and the band Friguey from El Salvador. Also local artists shared the stage with the international guests Juan Antonio de los Angeles from Austin, Jeana and Juan Carlos Ureña from Nacogdoches TX and Daniela Soqui from El Paso TX.
The 2013 edition of the festival set the bar even higher holding a free family event at the Zilker Hillside Theater on Sept 28th. Other venues in town were also scenario for the festival, the Dougherty Arts Center theater, the Flamingo Cantina on 6th street and the restaurant Janitzio.
Now we are preparing the 2014 edition, please feel free to browse our site for more information about this year's event.

Canada 5, Slovakia 0Published by Toronto Mike on September 9, 2004 @ 09:44 in Hockey Canada
It's been tough catching all the games in this great tournament. I missed the entire quarterfinals last night because I was playing a ball game. From what I've seen Jarome Iginla had a great game with two goals and an assist while Martin Brodeur recorded the easy shutout.
So far we have dominated the tournament, going 4-0 while outscoring our opponents 15-3. Next up is the Czech Republic at the ACC on Saturday night. Just my luck, I'm catching Kid Rock at the Amp that night. As God is my witness, nothing will prevent me from watching the finals and another Canadian victory on Tuesday.

- Salaries for program officers and assistants are extremely uncompetitive, and there is almost no opportunity for upward professional growth.
- The AMIDEAST office culture as a whole is boring and incohesive.Advice to ManagementAdvice

Beyoncé recently shared a poem through her tumblr account in which she explains her daughter's name. The poem was written by Rebecca Solnit and it's called "A Field Guide to Getting Lost".
Read the touching poem below:
The sky is blue for the same reason, but the blue at the horizon, the blue of the land that seems to be dissolving into the sky, is a deeper, dreamier, melancholy blue, the blue at the farthest reaches of the places where you see for miles, the blue of distance. This light does not touch us, does not travel the whole distance, the light that gets lost, gives us the beauty of the world, so much of which is in the color blue."
What do you think about the poem?

The majority of the time your standard EHP set will suffice, I even use my EHP set on trash. However, some people have fairly intense threat setups with lots of armor pen and crap that they use for trash. I frankly don't care about trash, so I've never put forth the effort.
There's also avoidance sets, there are a very small number (in my opinion) of fights that actually do favor avoidance, so far the only 1 in ICC so far is Gunship if you're single tanking the enemy ship, if you're doing I'm on a Boat you want to stack stam out the butt.
There are also two different classes of EHP, physical EHP (or PEH) and magical EHP (or MEH). Basically if a fight does a lot of magic damage and not a lot of physical damage, then the value of armor goes down, and the value of stam and magic resistance goes up.
Tanks also will carry different sets for anub'arak, specifically heroic 25 man, where the MT will go with a lot of resistance enchants and favor armor way over stamina because stam makes leeching swarm hit harder, so it becomes non-optimal, and the OT will sack stam at all costs and stack avoidance and block and block value for the adds.
There are also just standard threat offsets that don't really deal with armor pen or anything much, they just focus on getting hit cap and expertise cap. It will typically end up with decreased EHP, but if it is on a fight where your EHP really doesn't matter (like Lord Jaraxxus) then you might as well throw on tank gear that allows you to get to the caps.
Some people might even use a "taunt" set, where they put on hit gear to make sure that taunt doesn't miss. There's a footnote in my guide that breaks down the levels of hit you would need to guarantee taunts landing provided taunt glyph and various raid buffs.

It's the first Christmas that your baby is on his or her own, and you want to get a special Christmas gift for your college freshman. There are many great presents to consider for 2010.
Many college freshmen need computers for school. In many schools, it is a requirement. They may use it to research work and of course to type papers. You can choose a desktop or a laptop.
A college freshman might benefit from being able to access the Internet while on the go. They may enjoy a new smartphone such as the HTC Evo or the IPhone. When buying such a gift, be sure to consider the cost of the service plan and whether you are going to pay for that as well.
Gift basket of fun foods
A lot of college freshmen miss home cooking very much. They may love a gift basket filled with all different sorts of foods. You might give foods that they can put in their freezer so that it can last a while. You can also go to the store and pick out some of his or her favorite foods, especially ones that he or she might not be able to get at college. You can also go to a place such as Costco and purchase a pre-made basket filled with items like crackers, cheese, cadies and more.
Gift card
Many parents simply do not know what to get a college freshman. One idea is to get them a gift card so that the student can pick out what they want. Many students want nothing more than cash and if you get them a gift card to a store that you know that they frequent, then this might be just as good for them. You can get them something very versatile such as a gift card to a grocery store like Publix or Target.
A lot of college students like to read. You can get him or her some leisure reading material or something that would be useful for his or her area of study. Also, you can get him or her something to watch on television in the form of a DVD. Alternatively, you can get him or her a magazine subscription. Think about the type of magazine he would like based on his interests (i.e. someone who likes science may enjoy Popular Science). This is great because magazines typically come every month for a year.
There are many great gifts for the college freshman for Christmas of 2010. Make sure to think about what he or she would like when making your decision.

Feature Article on Michelle Eberhart
Photo Gallery of Eberhart's Undergraduate Career
VESTAL, N.Y.—- Michelle Eberhart, a captain on this year's Binghamton track & field team, gave one of the student speeches at this past Sunday's Commencement at the Events Center. The three-time America East medalist and member of the National College Athlete Honor Society is the first student-athlete to be selected as a student speaker during the Binghamton athletic program's 11-year NCAA Division I era.
Eberhart, who earned her bachelor's degree both English and human development, focused her speech on social media and technology of today and how they have played a significant role in the lives of college students.
"We're in an age where everyone has Facebook, most people have smart phones and Twitter, and everything moves super quickly, she said. "With that being said, we've started to depend more on technology and less on personal interactions with others. I want to make people realize that and become aware that even though we have this amazing influx of information at our fingertips, it's more important to appreciate the real-life friendships that we've made throughout college."
At the Binghamton Athletic Awards Banquet two weeks ago, Eberhart was honored for having one of the top 10 cumulative GPAs among graduating seniors in the department.

Endangered Crane to Undergo Fracture Surgery at University Wildlife Clinic
Story update: The whooping crane died of complications secondary to the trauma around 9 p.m. on Wednesday, April 8.
URBANA - A young whooping crane making its first migration from its Florida winter grounds to its Wisconsin summer home met with trouble, but a veterinary surgeon at the University of Illinois who is world-renowned for work with wild species will attempt to repair the crane's very severe leg fractures.
On Thursday, April 9, Dr. Avery Bennett will perform surgery to repair multiple fractures of the bird's lower left leg bones (tibiotarsus and the tarsometatarsus).
"The fracture is remarkable," said Dr. Julia Whittington, medical director of the Wildlife Medical Clinic. "It's broken into at least 10 pieces."
The bird's troubles were first noticed on April 2 in a field near Gridley, Ill., about 30 miles northeast of Bloomington. Five other whooping cranes from its flock that were migrating with it waited for three days before leaving their fellow behind. The landowner then brought the injured crane to his veterinarian, who contacted a local wildlife rehabber, who brought the bird to the University of Illinois Wildlife Medical Clinic on the evening of Sunday, April 5.
The cause of the injury is unknown, but whooping crane authorities report that powerline injuries are common in these birds. "It was a large force impact," said Dr. Whittington.
Post-operative management of whooping cranes is also very challenging for a number of reasons. It will be critical to ensure that the bird can stand on its own soon after surgery.
According to the International Crane Foundation, there were only 470 whooping cranes living wild and in captivity in the world in 2005-2006. Fewer than 90 whooping cranes belong to the same flock as the injured bird, and this flock is one of only three populations of these endangered birds living in the wild. The Wisconsin flock is overseen through the Whooping Crane Eastern Partnership working with the International Crane Foundation, Operation Migration and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The Wildlife Medical Clinic is a veterinary partner in the Eastern Whooping Crane Partnership.
The Wildlife Medical Clinic is a not-for-profit organization run by volunteers (mostly veterinary students) and supported by tax-deductible donations from the public.
The Wildlife Medical Clinic treats more than 2,000 animals each year and is staffed 24 hours a day. Injured and ill wildlife cases (except skunks and bats) are never refused. The phone number is 217/244-1195, and the Web address is vetmed.illinois.edu/wmc/.

A successful designer must be innovative and task risks. James Davis of L.R. CLOTHIER embodies those characteristics and more. He is pushing the envelope by building a fashion business in Memphis, which is truly risky business. Here is the conclusion or our conversation with Davis, who has persevered and proven that fashion can thrive in Memphis.
Carlee McCullough: How would you describe your artistic and creative style?
James Davis: At L.R. CLOTHIER our house style is contemporary classics. Your wardrobe is an investment and that is how we approach our clients. Trends are great, but they come and go so quickly. For example, it's much more fitting (no pun intended) to have a 3-button suit model, as compared to a 4-button front. That jacket model will be here forever, yet you can adjust the lapel opening or stance, giving it more of your own personality. There can be different options on the color pic stitching. This gives you that designer's flare. Italian influences have always been the foundation. The best tailoring and fabrics are woven in Italy and that is reflected in many of our designs.
C.M.: What are the components to bringing a concept to market?
J.D.: Know your business, know your product, know the demand, know your target audience.
C.M.: As a business owner, what is the greatest reward?
J.D.: It's a wonderful feeling, just knowing that your level of success ultimately is dependent solely upon you. You define your ceiling.
C.M.: What's most challenging as a business owner overall?
J.D.: Having the mindset to know your business model will come with adjustments. The component that will drive aspiring designers and business people to quit is not having proper funding. Every business takes some type of significant investment. Doesn't mean you have to have a large sum of money, but know how the funding will come. There's this store that closed downtown. I met with the owner and asked, "What happened?" He said, "My clients were all going east, relocating their practice." I was wondering why he didn't move. Other people can offer good opinions and ideas, even if they aren't directly part of your business or industry. Never become isolated in your thinking.
C.M.: What's most challenging as a business owner in "Memphis?"
J.D.: The most challenging aspect of being a business owner in Memphis? Well, Memphis hasn't quite become that dynamic melting (pot) yet. So it is not easy for others to understand your vision, drive or even being a business owner as a whole. One reason cities like Dallas or Atlanta are thriving like they are is they've had an influx of people from all over, bringing with them a myriad of brain power and innovative thinking. There are a lot of "pockets" of people in Memphis, so be sure you know how to mix in and network.
C.M.: What's your overall goal in this industry?
J.D.: The goal is to see the L.R. CLOTHIER brand continue to evolve. We've had a good amount of reach locally, now we're looking to begin to expand into other regional markets, like Nashville, Atlanta and Dallas. In three to five years, the plan is to have a L.R. CLOTHIER store in two additional cities, with one store carrying the women's collection, Lunden Renee.
C.M.: Any closing remarks?
J.D.: I just want to say live your life with no regrets for having tried something that you wanted to do. Listen to that voice deep within yourself, then apply the things on the outside to make it all come together. Your road to success may have some bumps and stalls along the way. Don't allow that to make you quit. Notice I say "make you quit" because when you have a true passion and vision, quitting is not your option, making adjustments can exist. Unlike in traffic, there are no stop signs, just caution lights, arrows and signs of falling rocks or danger up ahead. Pay attention. If you think you see a STOP sign, it's really just a mirage – keep going. Thanks to The New Tri-State Defender for this opportunity. God Bless.

This Chile Poblano recipe calls for the pepper to be stuffed with a mixture of corn, zucchini, onions and cheese.Photo by Alyson Wright.
This monthly cooking series features husband and wife team Barry and Kelley Courter.
BARRY: For many years, my experience with Mexican cuisine was greatly influenced by what we've had available locally, which is to say chain restaurants and El Paso products from the supermarket. That meant tacos, tostadas and enchiladas and more melted cheese over chips with a salsa dip than I care to think about.
Only in recent years, as the quantity and quality of Mexican dining options increased, have I discovered new dishes. More importantly, I've learned that a taco is not supposed to taste like a tostada or an enchilada. There are many wonderful Mexican dishes, and this recipe for chile poblanos is one of them.
We ended up trying out a new recipe because Kelley was challenged to make a big pot of vegetarian chili to send off to college for our youngest child. As often happens with meals in our house, the first request rarely makes it to the table, or at least not without some major changes.
KELLEY: When I started making the chili, my tastebuds began calling my name for that hot cumin flavor I crave so often. Anytime we go to a Mexican restaurant, I always order a chile poblano as my entree or a side. Some places do better than others in the preparation of the dish. I'm not convinced I've had the ultimate one yet, so I'm still looking.
We prepared our batter a little differently than what I've tasted at many restaurants, which use egg whites. I chose not to use the whites. Still, it was very tasty, and I would certainly do it again. We also went veggie heavy on the stuffing, and I did enjoy that instead of all cheese or meat.
BARRY: They were really tasty. Kelley actually did two varieties, one with a thicker batter.
KELLEY: The thicker batter resulted when I dipped the second version twice, but I didn't like it.
BARRY: The first one was lighter and let the poblano flavor come through. We talked about what else to add to the stuffing mix and decided ahead of time to simply use what the recipe called for. The poblano has a really nice flavor if you leave it alone.
KELLEY: I would try using the egg whites next time. However, these were pretty tasty. The down side of this meal is that Barry and I both wish we had cooked a couple more. They ended up being a little lighter than we thought. I suppose that is due to the fact we didn't have the rice and beans that usually come with the dish in a restaurant.
BARRY: We didn't gorge ourselves on chips and salsa either.
Chiles Poblanos
For the batter:
11/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 tablespoon salt
1 (12-ounce) beer (we used Corona)
For the peppers:
6 poblano peppers, roasted and skin removed
1 tablespoon butter
1 ear fresh corn, kernels cut from the cob
1/2 zucchini squash, diced
1/4 small yellow onion, finely diced
1 green onion, sliced (green part only)
11/2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons Philadelphia brand cooking cream, Santa Fe Blend
Freshly ground black pepper
Oil for frying
Combine 1 cup flour, baking powder, salt and beer. Stir to well blended. Refrigerate for one hour.
Melt butter in skillet and add corn, squash and yellow onion. Sauté for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and let cool. Once cooled, add green onion, cheese, cooking cream and pepper.
Stir to combine. Make slit in peppers and stuff about 2-3 spoons of cheese into pepper. Close and secure with a toothpick as best you can. Some peppers hold up better than others.
When ready to cook, heat oil about 1-2 inches deep in cast-iron skillet or your own personal favorite cooking vessel. Take the remaining 1/2 cup of flour and season with pepper. We added 11/2 tablespoons Alchemy Southwestern blend spice mixture. Take one pepper at a time and coat all sides well, then place in hot oil and cook turning until nicely browned and crisp. Peppers should only take about 2-3 minutes to cook. Remove and place in warm oven until all are cooked.
To serve: We placed store-bought green chile salsa around the base of the plate along with a Jarred Salsa Chile De Arbol on top of the peppers. We also added some finely crushed taco chips and cilantro for extra crunch and flavor.

Martic was found guilty of the crimes, committed during the war between 1991-1994 and surrendered in 2002 to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague.
The transition from the Hague prison to Estoniais part of an agreement between Estonian authorities and the United Nations. Martic will serve his sentence in Tartu in eastern Estonia.
Martic was indicted by the tribunal in
1995, and surrendered in 2002. He pled not guilty to all counts including
murder, forcible removal of people and inhumane treatment.
According to the International Criminal Tribunal, "helped organize an ethnic cleansing campaign of Croats and other non-Serbs from Krajina where 78,000 lived and virtually the entire non-Serb population was forcibly removed, deported or killed."
Martic had served as wartime president, defense and interior minister in wartime Croatia.

After so many years, a financial writer earns the right to dedicate a column to his wife.
I am doing it today, in the last Savings Game I have available before Georgina and I celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary Tuesday.
After so many years, a financial writer earns the right to dedicate a column to his wife.
I am doing it today, in the last Savings Game I have available before Georgina and I celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary Tuesday.
I have a money angle, too: A stable and long-lasting marriage goes together with financial success.
Research proves it. Thomas Stanley, author of the bestsellers The Millionaire Next Door and The Millionaire Mind, found that "having a supportive spouse" was one of the most important "success factors" cited by millionaires, far ahead of "making wise investments."
And Charles Carlson, who interviewed more than 170 "everyday millionaires" including me for his book Eight Steps to Seven Figures, found the average millionaire had been married 32 years, and to the same person.
So now that I've shown the link between marriage and finances -- the "peg" editors demand -- allow me to pay tribute to Georgina, one for each year together.
1. For marrying me when we all we could afford was an old one-bedroom rental apartment.
2. For doing without many things she would have liked so we could save for the future.
3. For always contributing to the economic well being of our household, by earning money and saving it.
4. For having the resolve and discipline to start a freelance writing career after our daughter, Veronica, was born, so she could stay home with her.
5. For creating her own board games and stories that were much more fun and personal for Veronica than any store-sold game or storybook.
6. For planning family outings and vacations that provided rich yet inexpensive experiences.
7. For enjoying the simple things together, such as walks in the park or along the beach.
8. For making savings at home a fun and family project.
9. For keeping up her freelance business when a nepotism policy at this newspaper -- no longer in effect -- kept her from going back to the job she had before Veronica was born.
10. For putting up with my long and erratic hours at the newspaper while I worked full time.
11. For encouraging me to keep this column going when another assignment at the paper almost prompted me to drop it 10 years ago.
12. For actually helping me gather facts and write some columns, when I had no time.
13. For being an unpaid "editor," reading the columns before I submitted them and offering suggestions to improve them.
14. For being with me and wooing the editors at Tribune Media Services when this column was accepted for national syndication.
15. For constantly reminding me, whenever I fell into using jargon and fancy words, to keep the column basic and personal.
16. For learning about financial matters so we can make decisions together.
17. For making me feel certain she would support me if an idea or investment I suggest doesn't work out (several haven't).
18. For again doing without things she'd like so we could afford a more expensive home near better schools for Veronica in 1985.
19. For cheerfully helping me track all income and expenses ever since, including leaving me notes with messages such as "expressway toll, 25 cents."
20. For helping me save and invest so, 12 years later, we could afford to buy a new, bigger home for cash.
21. For making sure I eat right and get adequate exercise.
22. For inspiring me by the loving way she cared for her ill and aging mother before she died two years ago, while somehow keeping up with her work.
23. For showing me by example how to lead a balanced life, where family doesn't take a back seat to work.
24. For letting me know she would support my decision to retire from full-time work at age 55, no matter what happened -- and everything that has happened has been great.
25. For searching and searching for a dream home in a dream retirement community for us and finding one in our price range near the ocean in Vero Beach after I had almost given up.
26. For being the "strategist" in our retirement, planning and looking ahead.
27. For joining me to launch "Redefining Retirement," a Lifestyle column now a year old.
28. For helping me research topics that will affect our lives, such as long-term care.
29. For again being a role model for a rich and fulfilled life in retirement, including giving back to the community as a volunteer.
30. For always being there, ready to share the rest of my life.

I thought I was ready for spring. With Daylight Savings Time over on Sunday and the air slowly getting warmer, March seemed to be off to a great start. Mother Nature obviously thought differently.
Tomorrow McDaniel students have a snow day! And while I definitely don't need anymore snow this winter, I'm always a fan of cancelled classes. Even with spring break so close, nobody can say no to a mini vacation in the middle of the week.
My friends and I are already planning a few fun activities for tomorrow including:
Sledding. The 9-hole golf course in the back of our campus doubles as some of the best sledding in Carroll County. We haven't gotten enough snow to sled since my freshmen year so I am excited to get back out there and relive the fun times.
Board games. What's better than getting competitive with some friends over the same games you grew up playing?! We have all the old favorites on deck, including Monopoly.
Birthday celebrations. My lucky friend turns 22 and gets the day off of school. That's one way to accept your old age. Snow means perfect baking weather so there will be plenty of cake for everyone tomorrow.
Today after class, we went out to get everything we might need for a snowy day inside. I'm guessing this will be my last snow day ever, so I plan on getting the most out of it and enjoying every minute!

Traffic along the Indiana Toll Road was backed up earlier today after a Fed-Ex semi crashed into a guardrail.
At around 10:30 a.m. near mile marker 62, police say a double-trailer truck was heading east when it swerved into the media and crashed into the guardrail. Part of the truck smashed through the barricade and could be seen hanging over the edge of the Toll Road overpass.
Thankfully, the driver was not seriously injured in the crash and was able to exit the cab on his own. Officials however, do not know what caused him to swerve into the median in the first place.
County Road-900 East was closed just underneath the Toll Road as officials worked to pull the trailed completely back onto the highway overpass.
Toll Road traffic was also restricted to one lane going in each direction while crews cleaned up the estimated 150 to 175 gallons of fuel that spilled during the crash.

2009: Derby County (A) 4-1
2011: Crawley Town (H) 1-0
Ahead of Manchester United's FA Cup tie against Reading on Monday night, we take a look back at the Reds' other fifth-round ties under Sir Alex Ferguson.
Here's our shortlist of the five best encounters... which one was your favourite?
1990: Newcastle (A) 3-2
During the run that led to the manager's first trophy as United boss, a trip to Tyneside was a potential banana-skin and Jim Smith's Magpies made life difficult. Mark McGhee won and converted a penalty to cancel out Mark Robins' header before Danny Wallace's emphatic near-post finish restored the lead. Kevin Scott nodded a controversial equaliser, with Jim Leighton grounded after being blocked by Mick Quinn, but Wallace teed up Brian McClair, who ended a 17-game drought with a precious winner.
1994: Wimbledon (A) 3-0
Some still believe the Double-winning team to be one of the best the club has ever produced and this was that side at its finest. Towards the end of the first half, Eric Cantona supplied a moment of magic to volley

We're pleased to announce that Jim Perry (92) and Janet Tchamani (55) are our joint- Internet Champions of the Year 2013.
A huge congratulations to the winners and runners up, whose moving stories inspired the judges and are sure to inspire you too!
The champions and runners-up were crowned at a glitzy ceremony at The Royal Society in London on Monday 18 March. The awards were presented by Age UK ambassador June Whitfield, who supports the charity's work to encourage more people to get online.
The champions were selected by a panel of experts in the industry, including writer, actor and technophile Stephen Fry.
Fry said: 'Like millions of others, I simply can't imagine a life without the convenience and wonder of the internet. Yet over 5 million older people have never been online. I was delighted to help choose Age UK's Internet Champions for 2013 and wish them all the best in inspiring more people to the ways of the web.'
In the 2 short videos below, our new Internet Champions, Jim and Janet, explain why they love the internet, and how it's changed their lives:
The search for this year's Age UK Internet Champion resulted in more entries than ever before. Both Jim and Janet's entries demonstrated the life changing benefits and their real enthusiasm to help others.
Over the coming year, the winners will work with Age UK to raise awareness of the many benefits that await the 5.2 million older people who have never been online.

Yesterday Noah and I both woke up feeling pretty flu like so we had a lazy morning sitting around in our pajamas until noon. I made us some comfort food for lunch (peanut butter, honey, and banana panini for me and the same for him except with jelly because babies can't have honey) and then we headed out to the exciting world that is Walmart. I'm still trying to figure out how to work the camera… when I zoom in it gets blurry and won't focus. Any advice? In other blogging news, be on the lookout for some exciting new changes coming soon!
We were in search of some shoes for Noah to wear to a wedding this weekend and were unsuccessful in finding any. We WERE successful in being highly entertained by the people of Walmart. It never fails.
I think I found the person who hit you… he couldn't see the giant sign you posted.
The family that jammies together stays together?
Wud up rhinestone cowgirl?! Get ya some uh those veggies.
Hey, at least we got something out of the trip right? Even if it was only our comedic relief for the day ;-).
Once we got home and Noah had his nap, we decided it would be fun to go play at the park!
We even made a few new friends while we were there.
It was just me and NJ for dinner last night so I did the unthinkable. Joe would never allow me to do it if he had been here.
Joe hates onions more than anything in the world. I never buy them or cook with them because I value the stability of our marriage. We made a huge stir fry that included onions for our dinner last night and it felt almost the same as the time in high school when my parents went out of town and I threw a huge crazy party and the cops showed up. Just kidding, mom. I never threw a party because YOU never went out of town. And let's be honest, I only had three friends in high school. One of whom was the principal. I really wish I was kidding.
Today involves another attempt at finding wedding shoes and babysitting my awesome nephew, Robby!
What's the best part of your Friday? Onions: love em or hate em?

Tea. What's not to love?
Tea is a delicious beverage that can cool you down in the hot summer months and warm you up in the winter.
But did you know that many types of tea also have great health benefits? Let's have a look at what goes into creating different types of tea and how different varieties of tea can help improve your health and quench your thirst at the same time.
What Makes Different Types of Tea?
Many different types of tea, such as white tea, green tea, yellow tea, black tea, oolong tea and pu-erh tea, all come from the same plant, Camellia sinensis.
The type of tea produced from this plant depends entirely on the way the leaves are processed after harvesting. Different processing methods give tea leaves from the same plant their own distinct color and flavor.
Related: Is Tea Better For You Than Coffee?
For example, green tea is made by plucking the leaves when they partially withered and heating them almost immediately to about 200 degrees Celsius to prevent fermentation. The leaves are then rolled and shaped before being reheated.
Black tea undergoes a different process; the leaves are withered and rolled before being heated at all.
For centuries, people have been brewing various concoctions of tea for both flavor and healing purposes, and you don't need a scientist to tell you that a cup of hot tea can make you feel better when you've got a cold or sore throat. So it shouldn't be surprising to learn that research has demonstrated the health benefits of many different kinds of tea.
Here are seven types of tea that can help your body stay well.
Healthy Teas You Should Be Drinking
1. Oolong
Oolong tea activates enzymes that cut down triglycerides, a type of fat found in the blood. One study showed that women who consumed oolong tea burned a slightly larger amount of fat than those who drank only water.
Related: 5 Big Benefits Of Drinking Water
Oolong tea is more than just a fat burner, though. It also contains niacin, which helps detoxify the body, and antioxidants that can prevent tooth decay.
2. Black
Black tea is one of the most highly caffeinated varieties of tea, with about 40 milligrams of caffeine per cup. Black tea also contains thearubigins and theaflavins, two types of
