Today's Boston Globe articles

1. Massachusetts Census: http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/graphics/12_26_10_mass_roots/

This is an interesting and informative interactive tool. Looking up Chinese-Americans, I'm not surprised to find there are many in Quincy but am surprised about Malden.

2. Congress: http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2010/12/26/a_house_poorly_divided/

I agree: the House should be enlarged and representation more equitably distributed. But, isn't a House with over 500 members a bit unwieldy?

3. Criminal Law: http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2010/12/26/a_felons_forward_pass/

I partially agree: criminal law should focus more on rehabilitation, i.e. helping former felons into society. Nonetheless, depriving convicted felons of many privileges is important to deter criminality.

4. Communication: http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2010/12/26/the_death_of_email_as_we_know_it_not_so_fast/

I agree: E-mail is not dying and should not. There is great value (not just in business communication) of a thought out and revised article of communication.

5. 2010: http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/ideas/articles/2010/12/26/2010_the_year_in_mistakes/

Through reviewing accomplishments, we build pride. Through reviewing mistakes, we build character.
