...compatible individuals in the same age range who are interested in sharing a home. Working with four social-service agencies, the program aims in its first year to match 30 seniors with 30 others who are willing to share their homes, says spokeswoman Tanya Mitchell. "Particularly for the older segment of this population, this will be a way to have companionship and save on household costs at the same time," says Carla Windhorst, director of community initiatives for Mather LifeWays, a not-for-profit organization that is assisting with the program...
While a select segment of Harvard’s social stratosphere may have spent the last week mourning the passing of Leverett House’s weekly Thirsty Thursdays party, to its host, Wilson R.S. Prichard ’03, his newly parched weekends are just the latest in a long list of grievances.

At the luxury end, the jump could be significant: the hottest SUV on the market now isn't one of those crossover hobbits but the Hummer H2, a three-ton beast with the attitude and fuel efficiency of a battleship.

On the best nights, it's like a party on the verge of going out of control, as when Kimmel, Carolla and rapper Snoop Dogg - all drinking vodka on camera - deep-fried a ventriloquist's dummy and an audience member's watch during a cooking segment. And what Kimmel lacks in smoothness, he makes up for in audacity. It's unlikely another late-night host would casually ask Snoop if O.J. was innocent or guilty, or ask rap mogul Master P if he'd let his 13-year-old son - rapper Lil' Romeo - sleep at Michael...
