$30K rumor? Tabloid paid for, spiked, Trump tip
New York – Eight months before the company that owns the National Enquirer paid $150,000 to a former Playboy Playmate who claimed she’d had an affair with Donald Trump, the tabloid’s parent made a $30,000 payment to a less famous individual: a former doorman at one of the real estate mogul’s New York City buildings.

Depending on the virtual village, all of that can be available to members, as well.Born out of Boston’s Beacon Hill neighborhood in 2002, virtual villages have rapidly spread across the country in recent years as another twist on the peer-to-peer economy. Now, with more than 200 villages in 45 states and Washington, D.C., plus 150 more villages in development, according to the national Village to Village network, virtual villages have become a forceful movement to help offset the social and financial housing challenges facing many aging residents.The idea is relatively simple: Seniors … [Read more...] about On the House: For seniors looking to age at home, virtual villages offer support
