globe-trotting

I read the Boston Globe online pretty regularly for the past 10 years. Today, I was actually hand-surfing through the printed Sunday edition and came across several jawns that stood out to me. Enjoy.

• The college admissions scam - I got an interesting question the other day from this guy about why I had referred a couple of high schoolers to 2-year schools as opposed to 4-year schools. This alludes to that conversation. It's big business, buddy.
• A line in the sand - Made me think of Edisto and how exclusive (and much whiter) some parts of it always seemed to be compared to the rest of the island
• Of stitches and time - Made me think about how we all have a story, yet you will never know it if you stay at arm's length
• Round One goes to Baker and his big bucks - Made me think back to the high I had in 2006 during Deval Patrick's initial run and how dramatically that feeling has decreased since then. There's a forum in Roxbury on Tuesday if anyone wants to address some questions to him directly.
• Arenas has always been blanketed by insecurity - Just plain interesting
• Using different tools to help small businesses survive - Great straight talk and information from Robert A. Baker, president of the Smaller Business Association of New England
• Teaching has appeal for workers ready for change - Although I am not in the classroom, I'd love for some of you to consider making the switch. Especially my engineering and accounting peoples.
• Rioting in Italy underscores rising tension over immigration - self-explanatory
• What is Ajami? - Reclaiming our past
