...Minneapolis, his first completed building in the U.S., is very different. At first approach it's all bunkerish midnight-blue steel, a cube-and-canister form answering to the legacy of the old mills and silos that once occupied - some still do - the industrial stretch of the Mississippi River where it stands. A lengthy, covered bridge-to-nowhere cantilevers out from one side of the building like a robot arm toward the river, ending in ledges of tiered seating for taking in the view...
...often happens when Shi'ite militiamen launch mortars and rockets at the Green Zone, some of the missiles don't hit their intended target. Early risers in Karrada, just south of the Green Zone across the Tigris River, heard the distant rumble of a launch and then, seconds later, a crash that rattled windows and sent residents looking for cover.

Pasquarello said the driver of the truck was “very distraught” after the incident. As of Tuesday, no charges...
...rather charming. How sentimental it is to think of all of us putting aside our papers and problem-sets in favor of arts and crafts. But beyond the globs of glitter glue, the behavior is bizarre: housing is completely arbitrary and most definitely unequal across the board. The obligatory River Run many freshman blocking groups take part in on the eve of the lottery announcements in order to ward off chances of being “Quadded” (put in one of the three Houses a ways up Garden Street) is testament to this.
