...down to the last detail. Throughout college, I have complained about dorm life. Now it comes time to find that much-awaited apartment, and I come to three harsh realizations--I have to find it, I have to pay for it, and I have to maintain it. My apartment search is only a few weeks old, and already I'm looking at my little room in Winthrop in a new light. Perhaps I will try to claim squatters rights to the property come June...
...search for the A-10 centers on New York Mountain, a rugged, 12,467-ft. peak in the central Rockies where several eyewitnesses reported seeing fires and smoke and hearing a loud explosion on April 2. Since then, though, several fresh feet of snow have been dumped on the already remote and snowy area, and search aircraft have been mostly grounded by bad weather.

Pregnant with her own child, she filed an application with a public agency to find out who her birth mother was. Then she waited. And waited. Finally, this January she received a brief "nonidentifying" description of her mother. She was a folk singer born...
