...night in one. The monasteries and temple precincts of Honshu's sacred mountains, such as Mount Koya, Mount Shosha and Mount Hiei, all provide lodgings (Mount Koya alone has more than 50 shukubo), as do the hillside temples surrounding the ancient capitals of Kyoto and Nara, where well-trodden pilgrim trails make finding shukubo relatively easy. Levels of comfort vary. In many shukubo, a thin futon, a chaff-filled pillow and nothing but paper doors between you and the next snoring pilgrim are the norm. But others can be surprisingly refined, with delicate flower arrangements, swirling calligraphy on the walls...
That promise is luring others home. When Samant left school 20 years ago, any Indian with ambition and means got out, and Samant followed a well-trodden path to Stanford and on to Oracle in California's Silicon Valley. Then in 1991 Singh, at the time the country's Finance Minister, began to open up India, dismantling a creaking socialist command economy that had chained India to poverty and stagnation since independence.

Complaints about the lifestyle of the rich and famous is a trail well-trodden in the music industry, and Skinner’s descent down the same path is part bizarre and part amusing—I can’t help shake the feeling that his tongue remains resolutely in cheek with lines like “We?...
Though it features a handful of strong tracks, “Show Your Bones” is burdened by dull guitar riffs, plodding acoustic guitars, slow-tempos and down-trodden lyrics. Previously known for their fantastic live shows, they will need all their skills to maintain that reputation while playing such lackluster new material...
...larger all-purpose room, a coffee bar, and a music practice room that should fit a four-piece band.But a mere ribbon-cutting ceremony will not guarantee that Hilles’ fourth floor will be used. The Quad Houses are already flush with gathering areas, and unlike heavily-trodden rooms such as the Currier Fishbowl, Hilles’ fourth floor is not likely to get casual foot traffic and therefore must become a destination in and of itself. It must be open 24 hours. We envision that it will be most successful in the late- (and late-late-) night hours...
