...first pass, the data suggest we've largely come back to earth. The average price-rent ratio for the 54 metro areas Economy.com broke out was 19.8 for the three months through September, a couple of points higher than the 15-year average of 17.7 but significantly lower than where the ratio stood three years ago, 24.4.

...Lily with more than just endless psychoanalysis and pills. Instead, Linehan taught her practical methods of getting by day-to-day. Once, just after she started with Linehan, Lily locked herself in her parents' bathroom and swallowed six or seven antidepressants in a half-hearted suicide attempt.

...With BC All-American guard Tyrese Rice running the offense, Lin stripped him of the ball and broke away for a layup. Senior guard Drew Housman faked and blew by Rice for another layup on the next possession. After a bucket from captain Andrew Pusar and a defensive stop on the other end, Lin drilled a three to cap the Crimson’s quick 9-4 run to go up 42-31. Aided by the loud crowd behind it, BC responded in force, and trailed just 49-43 with 11:42 left. But that was as close...
