    "But the tech community may be different from other industries. Degrees are not necessarily seen as a hallmark of achievement and programmers are judged on their ability to type lines of code. You are more »

  • Comment on: Boston area tech recruiters battle for talent - Business - The Boston Globe

    Posted 12/04/2012 05:51:29 EST

    If only real people would read resumes and cover letters. Instead, they crunch them through their filters and reject a lot of very talented engineers, simply because a resume includes one tool or prog more »

  • Comment on: Medicaid expansion a tough sell to governors of both parties - Nation - The Boston Globe

    Posted 07/13/2012 12:58:47 EDT

    For once it's not the Globe's fault, but the parent's: Correction: July 12, 2012 Because of an editing error, an earlier version of this article contained a headline, appearing on the home page of NYT more »

    I realize this is very late after the original article, but I just read that Hearth Wood Fired Bread is going to be available at the Waltham Farmer's Market. I can't wait! more »

  • Comment on: School abuse fears not reported - Metro - The Boston Globe

    Posted 12/16/2011 02:06:20 EST

    So the fact that the school did not report the alleged abuse indicates that the principal did his/her own investigation and determined what? That there was no abuse? That the student was not believabl more »

  • Comment on: 'The inside story of Keurig's rise to a billion-dollar coffee empire'

    Posted 08/08/2011 01:39:12 EDT

    No way is the word Keurig Danish. Dutch maybe? Perhaps someone confused two European languages beginning with the letter "D" and spoken by few people. I can look up "keurig" in Babel Fish and find tha more »

  • Comment on: 'Advocates fight nursing home cuts'

    Posted 06/16/2011 01:07:02 EDT

    So part of the issue is who should absorb the cost. Seems like if the nursing home does not have to dress, feed, or bathe the patient (it's an empty bed), then the state should not have to pay the ful more »

    "Coloroso said the judge should order them to apologize individually to Prince’s family. “Then, they can truly get on with their own lives,’’ she said." I hope that "getting on with their live more »

  • Comment on: 'Don’

    Posted 03/08/2011 12:38:13 EST

    Rather than "out-educate," we should focus on "right-sizing" our K-12 system. Other advanced nations have done this and have produced workforces that have the appropriate level of education. Not every more »

  • Comment on: Slippery slope to nanny state - The Boston Globe

    Posted 02/04/2011 12:26:14 EST

    Thanks, Scot, I needed that. Was roundly trounced when I complained about my City-which-shall-remain-unnamed making reverse 911 calls at 7:30 on a SUNDAY morning to warn us that the roads were slick. more »

  • Comment on: Tuition lost on the techno-dependent - The Boston Globe

    Posted 09/27/2010 09:35:00 EDT

    Some colleges are getting it. At St. John's in Annapolis, it is considered rude to use any type of electronic device while in the company of others. If you're with people, you are expected to be engag more »

    Posted 02/24/2010 11:03:51 EST

    No surprises here, this is how state government works. Did Braintree pick up the phone to ask, "what happened to our application for a complaint"? Did the State police pick up the phone to ask for a c more »

    Delta/NW canceled all flights to connecting city in the south on 12/20. Earliest they could re-book the four of us to the deep south was Thurs 12/24. They lopped 4 days off our family holiday time, ju more »

    Posted 12/21/2009 08:35:33 EST

    Foreign students here are impressed by their access to professors and small classes. In Asia and Europe, large, oversubscribed lectures and NO access to the professor are the norm. American students d more »

    Posted 11/18/2009 01:03:49 EST

    I would like to get back to literal terms, and make the conservatives honor their commitments. (And btw I am a pro-choice independent.) Call it abortion, not "reproductive health services," and take c more »

    Posted 08/25/2009 03:28:48 EDT

    Thanks for the actual data, Ms. Thurber. I suggest that one reason your gross seems low is that your employer is picking up a large tab for your health insurance. Whether that proportion is 75% or som more »

  • Comment on: 'Vineyarders pressed by health costs'

    Posted 08/25/2009 02:14:36 EDT

    Jmfi, my point is that you seem to have purposely chosen 2 of the most expensive policies available through the Connector, declared them unaffordable, then use that as your argument against health ins more »

    Posted 08/25/2009 01:07:13 EDT

    Here's my issue: the Globe apparently does not check anyone's arithmetic. According to her, Mrs. Thurber's family shares a $48,000 annual health insurance premium with her school system employer. She more »
