Off the topic, but need ideas
Does anyone know any good sites to find apartments? I've tried Rent.com and Apartments.com, but they only list the apartments where the complex pays for the posting. Does anyone know if there are any other sites? I'm planning to move across the country in August, and figured it would be easier to have an apt lined up…

Good news for the sleep deprived!
Although it’s a common belief that 8 hours of sleep is required for optimal health, a six-year study of more than one million adults ages 30 to 102 has shown that people who get only 6 to 7 hours a night have a lower death rate. Individuals who sleep 8 hours or more, or less than 4 hours a night, were shown to have a…
