He found the solution in what you might call an adult au pair. With more Americans single than ever and rents sky high in cities like Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco, many women are open to the idea of keeping house for a casual acquaintance or even a stranger in exchange for a rent-free place to stay...

The brain cells of the MND sufferer are primed...
...first game 1-0 and fell in the second game 2-1. PRINCETON 2, HARVARD 1 The second game of the twinbill, like Game One, was a pitcher’s duel. Freshman Bailey Vertovez started for Harvard and was relieved by sophomore Amanda Watkins after three innings. The pair allowed only one run apiece and proved to be stiff competition for Princeton hurler Kristen Schaus, who entered the weekend with a 1.89 ERA, the third best in the Ivy League. Schaus held the Crimson scoreless until the bottom of the fifth inning. After striking out the lead-off batter...
