Rooming: Concrete and spacious. While Mather House may look like the bastard child of Optimus Prime and a cement truck…well, isn’t that pretty badass? While the non-initiate might call it an "eyesore" or "big block of fugly," any Matherite will tell you that the exterior is redeemed by an enviable interior. Every resident is guaranteed a "cozy" single within a suite, eliminating the numbing isolation and social depravity of those lonely Quad singles.

...Rehman's resignation is the latest sign of divisions in Zardari's ranks. Another senior minister, Raza Rabbani, resigned last week. And two former aides to Zardari's slain wife and former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, Naheed Khan and Safdar Abbasi, have launched fierce attacks on Zardari, accusing him of betraying Bhutto's legacy as they urged support for the antigovernment protests. Sharif has been singling out Zardari in his attacks, attempting to isolate the unpopular President from the rest of the PPP.
