...rooming assignments. Some sort of technology glitch must have occurred, for my roommate and I were given two adjacent cupboards under the pretense of a double. And the view from the cramped quarters inspired nothing but nostalgia in me—another year to be spent looking out on pavement and fading skid marks. Rereading the interhouse transfer policy for the umpteenth time, I accepted the fact that PfoHo was my unchangeable fate for a predetermined period. Nine months, in fact. Like the baby daddy of a pregnant Catholic schoolgirl, I had to stay with the carrier of my pfetus...

Bankers get that. Since last summer, at least 30 groups have filed to start new banks, according to SNL Financial.

For entrepreneurs who can run that gauntlet, though, the stars are aligned for small independent banks in a way they probably never will be again...
...feedback loops screwed against a subdued but gleeful pop framework. The band’s classic trilogy of mid-90s albums, cresting with 1997’s near-perfect “I Can Hear the Heart Beating As One,” paralleled the success of indie cohorts Pavement and Built to Spill, among others. And while the former burned out and the latter signed to Warner Brothers by the end of the decade, to this day Yo La Tengo release another charming, if not altogether overwhelming record roughly every three years for the independent Matador imprint. Their latest...
...former deputy mayor of Grozny in Chechnya, was returning to his home in western Moscow. Shepiyev did not make it. He was found less than a foot away from the wood-paneled door to his apartment block. Blood from three gunshot wounds stained the dirty snow on the pavement; the weapon, a Baikal pistol, lay discarded next to him. Typical signs of a contract killing. Shepiyev had survived one assassination attempt in Grozny in 2006. This time he was not so lucky...
