It is probably the only oil-drilling rig in Greater Boston, and it is in a very odd place: the 15th floor of a building in Kendall Square. Just as unusual is the team that is running it. Although their employer is an oil company, the drilling team is mostly drawn from the aerospace industry, and led by an astrophysicist whose previous job was designing a lunar satellite.

The war to destroy Israel has come to Boston, Massachusetts.  The Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority (MBTA)—part of Greater Boston’s transit system-- has become a ground-zero in the propaganda war against Israel. Several anti-Israel organizations have been sponsoring anti-Israel ads on the exterior of Transit buses.Recently, a new ad has labelled Israel as an apartheid state that kills children. It says that , “Since September 2000, Israel’s military has killed one Palestinian child every four days, using US tax dollars.”In case you didn’t do the math, that’s about 1,400 children.

Henry promptly tore down the red brick Georgian Revival colonial - snapped up from former Dodgers owner Frank McCourt - to make way for his own custom-built mansion. Here's a blurb from the press release sent out by Coldwell Banker - sales associate Deborah Gordon has the listing. Not sure what kind of commission she's getting on this deal, but just do the math on 5 percent of $18 million - it's a cool $900,000. Here's a Journal piece Continue reading >>>

It’s been 10 years since a Harvard dropout founded a little website for college students. But Mark Zuckerberg’s most lasting achievement probably won’t be Facebook. It will be the premise that anyone with a smart idea can build a Facebook and become, well, the next Mark Zuckerberg, with or without the college degree long seen as an essential steppingstone to success. It makes sense that Greater Boston would be at the center of it all, with more than 250,000 college students and a burgeoning tech scene. The pathway for entry into the startup world, though not clearly marked, goes through so-called Continue reading >>>
