Name proposal
Quite a controversy in Salinas reported because of the proposal to name a new school after notorious old west bandido Tiburcio Vasquez. I imagine there would be similar commotion in Santa Cruz if a school was proposed named Bonnie and Clyde High.
Rudy Marinacci, Santa Cruz
Shameful behavior
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote in response to the guy who had said he was involved in an accident with some bikes who had run a stop sign along West Cliff. I also called the Santa Cruz PD to ask if they were interested in speaking with this person, who had admitted to leaving the scene of an accident. The Sentinel chose not to print my letter, and the officer who responded to my call seemed to think that it was appropriate, if not funny, that the big dude in the big pickup had successfully intimidated the lawbreaking cyclists on their toys.
As cyclists, we are completely vulnerable to all motor vehicle traffic. That we can be, and are, intimidated on a regular basis by aggressive motorists is plenty bad enough. That this behavior is supported by both the Sentinel and the local police is shameful.
Bob Montague, Watsonville
Honor real hero
In this day and age when kids need to have positive role models, naming a school in Salinas after a notorious bandit, Tiburcio Vaasquez, is not the role model kids need to emulate. Since the school wishes to use the name of a person of Latino descent, may I suggest a person who was a hero of 9/11 ... Jose J. Marrero. He was a fire warden for the 84th floor in the south tower of the Twin Towers in New York. He had just helped a man down the stairs when he got a call on his walkie-talkie from someone else who needed help. He went back in and upstairs toward the impact zone but never made it out of the building. He gave his life for another person. That is the person kids need to know about and whose example should be honored by having a school named for him. If the Alisal Union School District Superintendent wants to honor cultural citizenship by naming a school after "one who symbolizes the fulfillment and dreams parents and the community have for their children" then look no further than Jose J. Marrero, a true hero of that awful day we know as 9/11.
Martha Dolciamore, Soquel
Setting example
The Alisal school board in Salinas, a city known for gang violence, has decided to name a new school after a man who murdered three innocent bystanders during the robbery of a store. Absolutely brilliant. You've got to give the next generation of gang members a hero to look up to. Drop the board a note and show your support of their decision ... or not! www.alisal.org/apps/contact/

Vegetarian Curried Brown Rice and Broccoli Casserole with Creamy Curry Sauce
(Makes 8 servings; recipe created by Kalyn with inspiration from Better-than-Mom's Chicken, Broccoli, and Quinoa Casserole with Creamy Curry Sauce.)
4 cups cooked brown rice (I use Uncle Ben's Brown Rice)
8 cups fresh broccoli, cut into small flowerets (about 20 oz. broccoli)
1 medium onion, chopped small
2 tsp. olive
1 tsp. sweet curry powder (any curry powder that's not labeled hot will probably work for this)
1/2 tsp hot curry powder (sometimes called Madras curry powder; you can skip this if cooking for kids or increase for a spicier dish)
1/2 tsp. sea salt salt
1/2 tsp. Spike Seasoning (optional, but good)
1 1/2 cups grated low-fat mozzarella
Sauce Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups reduced-fat sour cream
1/4 cup mayo
1/4 cup light mayo
(or use all regular or all light mayo)
3 T fresh squeezed lemon juice (I used my frozen lemon juice)
1 1/2 tsp. sweet curry powder
Bake the casserole about 30 minutes, or until casserole is starting to bubble and the cheese is lightly browned on top. Serve hot. I am guessing this freezes well, although I haven't tried freezing it yet.

Jersey Boys------Simply The Best, Jul 09, 2006
|reviewer: John Zaks from Philadelphia, PA USA
|Fabulous? Awesome? Entertaining? Yes, all of the aforementioned, however there are no adjectives in my vocabulary that can adequately describe this stupendous performance. The finest and most entertaining show I have ever seen. Certainly the best of my life long love of Broadway and the theatre. If you miss this one, you will only suffer life long regrets.

The Jersey Boys - fantastic!, Apr 17, 2006
|reviewer: Sandra from Glasgow, Scotland
|We were on holiday from Scotland and booked in advance to see the show after seeing an interview and hearing the singing on the Today Show. It was absolutely fantastic - the singing, the acting and the humour/drama in the script were all well done. The professionalism and talent of the cast couldn't be bettered. The theatre is attractive and our seats, although high up, still had a good view of the stage. Sound quality was excellent too. Being near Times Square there are plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. We visited Ellen's Starburst Diner after the show and continued to prolong the musical experience by enjoying the singing wait staff (who are all budding entertainers and sing show songs between serving). To sum up about the show, the cast had such high energy levels and commitment, I would thoroughly recommend it - you'll be singing the tunes for a long time!

The Fantastic Four, Apr 14, 2006
|reviewer: Anonymous from New Jersey
|We have been visiting broadway for almost three decades and "Jersey Boys" has been the most delightful show so far. The four boys portraying the original four are so much like them it's uncanny! And the music is SPECTACULAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jersey Boys! - Oh, what a night!, Jul 25, 2007
|reviewer: Danielle DiRienzo from Brooklyn, NY USA
|My mother and I saw Jersey Boys on Broadway this past Friday night. It was FANTABULOUS! I grew up with the music of Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons, being that they were my fathers' favorite musical group. Not only did the show make me feel nostalgic, but the performances themselves were incredibly impressive! We had the great privilege of seeing John Lloyd Young onstage, who won a Tony Award for his portrayal of Frankie Valli. The show never slowed down for a minute - the music was exhilirating and the voices of the actors who played the Four Seasons were absolutely beautiful. Their harmonies were mesmerizing - its a wonder that these guys never became famous singers in their own right! I would highly recommend this show to anybody - whether you're a fan of the Four Seasons or not, this is a must-see for ALL music lovers.

Fantastic, Feb 10, 2007
|reviewer: Rick Deubert from Kinnelon \"Jersey\"
|What can be said that hasn't been said already. One of the most entertaining shows I've seen, and I go to the threatre regularly; my wife's favorite. The acting and stage choreography was excellent. My wife and I are going for the third time this afternoon. We keep taking friends to share this great experience with. Much of the music wasn't my thing when I was growing up, but now I am obsessed with the CD and play it constanly in my car. I've already worn out one CD and on my second. My 22 years old son who's into real strange heavy rock music went with us and loved it.

"The Jersey Boys" language, Jun 28, 2007
|reviewer: Henrietta Kessler from Hanover, PA USA
|I just saw "The Jersey Boys" yesterday, June 27, 2007. I enjoyed the music and story very much. The thing I didn't enjoy and don't feel is necessary to learn the story of Frankie Valli is the f--- word, used constantly. Some swearing is tolerable, but I winced every time the f--- word was used.

Fantastic!!!!, May 24, 2006
|reviewer: Patti Vitanzo from Roseland, NJ (Formerly of Belleville, NJ)
|As I watched and listened to the Jersey Boys, I wondered if the original Four Seasons sounded as great as these four gentlemen did. I almost couldn't remember. They absolutely made me forget the real Frankie and the Gang. What range they had. I'm in awe of them. Loved it so much that I'm going again in June; this time with my husband. Do yourself a favor, don't miss this one. It's surely to be one of the classics.

My personal best, Apr 20, 2006
|reviewer: Jim from Hershey, PA
|I've attended popular Broadway musicals over the past 40 years and this one took over as the best I've seen. The acting, staging and singing were great. How does this cast sound so much like the original group? Unbelievable! It's been three weeks now and the songs are still rolling around in my head. It may be the first show I go to see on Broadway the second time. A great theater experience.

Disappointment, Oct 25, 2009
|reviewer: Wanting a more Christian America again from USA
|I saw Jersey Boys yesterday in NY. The story line, actors, and music were wonderful. I am very disappointed about the amount of foul language in this play. There are children in the audience and the "F" word was used way to much. Why? Your point could be made without using such a word. No, I would not take a child or my mother due to the language used in this play. How sad that you can't go and see a play and have to worry about the amont of foul language being used.

BEST SHOW EVER!!! MUST SEE!!!, Dec 31, 2006
|reviewer: Deborah from Long Island, NY
|This was the best show I have ever seen. We had great seats - but any seat in the house is a good seat! You could take your kids - 10 and above only. The music was great, the acting was great, the subject was great - it was just a fabulous show and I would recommend that everyone see it - it should be on Broadway for years! Please, please see it.

Oh My God -- What a Show!!!, Feb 09, 2007
|reviewer: Kim Marie Pavia-Grillo from Coram, NY
|I loved this show so much, I am absolutely obsessesed with it now. I am seeing it again on Valentines day. Okay for kids, although it does have some strong language (the "F" bomb). So if you don't want your child hearing that, than don't take them. Dinner at Tony Di Napoli's on 43rd is a great place to eat, and John Lloyd Young frequents the place quite often. The theatre seats were pretty snug, but once into the show, you wouldn't even care. GO SEE THIS SHOW!!!!! I've seen alot of b'way shows and enjoyed most of them thoroughly, but I can honestly say this to date is my all time favorite>

Foul Language Ruined It For Me!, Jun 01, 2010
|reviewer: Brenda from Virginia
|I agree that the music was great, but the amount of profanity in between the songs was completely unnecessary and ruined it for me! It's sad that the entertainment industry feels the need to use such language. There should be a rating system like the movies. DO NOT see this show with children or anyone else that might be offended by the use of constant bad language. I wish I had known before I spent $100 per ticket.

Great show but what's with the ticket prices?, Jan 24, 2008
|reviewer: Anonymous from Anytown, AT 55555
|Saw the show and it was really great! Purchased tickets weeks ahead online for $102.00. Couldn't make that show so had hotel get them a few days prior for $250.00! These were ALL mezzanine seats. Everything was sold out, or so we were told. Some tickets on line were, again mezzanine, over $300.00! I personally went to the theater and tickets were being purchased (at the ticket window) for one of the sold out shows, right up to showtime. Mezzanine seats were $97.00. Not peculiar to this show or theater, I'm sure, but what gives? Might add that I was advised not to try to sell my $102.00 tickets for more than face value or risk arrest.

Best Muscial So Far, Mar 31, 2008
|reviewer: Kathy Wallace from Pa
|Although I am not a broadway critic, or a regular at the theatre, I found Jersey Boys to be the best so far. The music of course is beyond reproach. Although I was young when they were at their peak my mother had all their albums. I saw them(Frankie Valli & the 4 seasons), in 1974 and a few years ago at Penns Peak. I absolutely love their music. The cast was superb. We were in the mezzanine but it doesn't matter where you sit because you can hear and see everything. I was surprized to learn of the death of Frankie's daughter. He is not alone having just lost a niece to an overdose. We left the theatre singing!! After we ate at Don GIovanni's. Great food and reasonable prices. Get a reservation.

Best Birthday Show --- 40 Today, Jan 22, 2009
|reviewer: D John from Lower Manhattan -- NYC
|What a great production. It is no wonder that one cannot find discount tickets to this show. How could you not like it. I see a lot of Broadway, Rock Concerts, Off Broadway and Opera. This one is up there. I live in NYC and notice the crowds, this one should be around for a bit longer.

Fantastic Show and Wonderful Theater, Feb 15, 2009
|reviewer: PKG from New York, NY
|Everything you've heard is true... Jersey Boys is simply a fantastic show, from the music, to the choreography, to the humor, to the pace and timing, and on and on. I was also very impressed by the staff at the August Wilson Theater. I attended with my mother, who has difficulty with her legs and uses a cane. An usher out on the sidewalk nicely approached me to guide us to a special lift entrance, then staff inside very courteously took the initiative to direct us and point out a restroom we could use just off the main theater. Everyone was helpful, polite, and efficient. I felt we were so well taken care of, and it made the theater experience that much better. Kudos to those individuals!

jersey boys review, Mar 13, 2013
|reviewer: Sherry Moore from New York, New York
|Saw Jersey Boys 3 times in 2012 - went yesterday to see it for a 4th time - don't know what the heck was going on - but it was not as exciting as the first 3 times and the singing was not as exciting and invigorating as usual. They definitely changed some things in that play - and trust me, not for the better. The singing seemed strained at some points as if they were not into really performing at their best. I just didn't like and will definitely not go back. Time to move on to a new play.

|reviewer: Kimberley Baum from Bridgewater, New Jersey
|If you see nothing else this year, SEE THIS !!!! I've seen it 2x and play the CD continually !!! These are extremely talented actors/singers and the music, the story, the set EVERYTHING gets you uplifted and smiling. It's hard to stay seated !!! You smile, dance, clap and feel great about this musical/concert -- A MAJOR hit and one worth seeing over and over again, you just can't get enough of those Jersey Boys !!!!

Leaves me Breathless!!!!, Jul 14, 2006
|reviewer: Kathleen from Jersey Girl
|I saw the show for the second time on July 12th. I cannot express how wonderfull it is and how it depicts those great Italian guys and how their emotional personality and musical backgrounds blend now and how great the real 4 seasons were back then. I have met Frankie about 12 years ago and I think he is just as surprised and elated to see his life played out by all the fabulous singers, musicians,actors,producers etc. I hope the show goes on forever so I can see it atleast once a year untill I am too old to get there. Best of luck guys you all deserve it. I have to say after speaking to some of the cast members you were all great!! Stay sweet and stay humble it will keep you all happy!!! Anyone who reads this get your tickets now don't wait!!! You will never regret it!!!

Oh What a Night !, Sep 01, 2006
|reviewer: Marie Angelina from East Rutherford, NJ USA
|This show simply cannot be described by words alone. It was an amazing experience...if I had the money, I would go back every single day. You cannot miss this show. Everything about it is magical..I have seen a lot of shows on Broadway and this one is by far the greatest of them all.

Can't stop talking about it!!, Dec 28, 2006
|reviewer: Georgie from Uniontown, PA
|This is one of the greatest shows I've ever seen! I've told everyone about it and would see it over and over again. It made me laugh, cry, sing, and dance. During intermission I ran to the lobby to purchase the show's CD and I listen to it all the time and remember how much I enjoyed this show. I will definitely see it again. My seats were third row back to the far right in the orchestra section. I couldn't see everything but I sat right under a spiral staircase that most of the characters came down or sat on throughout the show. I'm 28 years old and have heard the Four Seasons music and enjoyed it, but the play gives you the story behind some of the songs. Before the show we ate at Vita. The food was very good (large portions) but the service wasn't so great. Definitely see this play!!!

A-+ The Greatest, Jan 17, 2007
|reviewer: Regina Parisella from Wappingers Falls,N.Y.
|I would recommend this show to anyone over 12 yrs old it was the best show I have ever seen.. Can't stop thinking about it or playing the CD everytime I get in my car. My daughter and I were in the front row center and I can't explain the experience and excitement that this show brings almost like Frankie Valli and the 4 Seasons were in the room with us. It's the only show I have ever seen that if asked to go see it again I would not have to think about the answer.... It would be YES!

A Very Pleasant Show, Apr 29, 2007
|reviewer: David and Deborah from Kansas City
|Great entertainment--not THE best show I've ever seen, though, in spite of the praise here. Awkward dialogue at times and the one female song was not good at all ("My boyfriend's back). Found out that Wed matinee does not feature the tony award winning lead. Michael Longorio (who does two shows a week) played Frankie Valli and was excellent. I just wish I knew how much the two actors differ! We felt a little cheated at getting the #2 guy. I would rate Chicago, Phantom, Cats and several others higher than J-Boys. That being said, I did enjoy myself, loving the music--"Oh, What a Night" being my favorite. Audience loved it from comments going out. I might have just had too-high expectations. The young man who played Bob Gaurdio the songwriter for the 4 Seasons had a great voice and carried the show at times. A very talented cast overall--just don't expect to leave the theater feeling as if you'd seen the second coming-- and you'll love it. Great escapism, that's for sure.

Jersey Boys .....FANTASTIC, Oct 14, 2008
|reviewer: Anonymous from Bermuda
|I have always loved Frankie Valli's music. The story was very touching and makes me appreciate his talent even more. I learned a lot about the individuals and the group. Now if the theatre staff could be as professional as the performers, the experience would be a class act. When I get dressed to go to theatre and pay top dollar for tickets I don't appreciate being barked at by staff wearing T-shirts and screaming at people to move ahead as we were entering the theatre or waving us out of the auditorium after the show while we were listening to the band's exit music. How gauche! When we were entering the theatre the only way I could have "moved ahead" would have been to have trampled the lady in front of me. The next afternoon we attended another Broadway show and what a difference with the staff at that theatre. They were dressed properly and spoke politely and professionally while directing patrons. I highly recommend the show but the ushering staff should be ashamed of themselves

|Oh, what a night!! Spectacular!! John Lloyd Young was amazing, and signed autographs after the performance...couldn't have been nicer. The music is incredible, and I wasn't a huge Frankie Valli fan before the show...now the CD plays in my car every day!! Well worth the price...Mezzanine seats were great!! No vision problems, great audio...do yourself a favor and SEE THIS PLAY!!

Who loves you pretty baby?!, Aug 10, 2006
|reviewer: Macrae from Atlanta, GA USA
|Magic. This show is simply magic. Words cannot do the show justice! It is an experience sitting there in the August Wilson Theatre. You can't help but get lost in the tale of Frankie, Tommy, Nick and Bob. The cast is amazing. They truly pull you into the story they are presenting. I grew up with Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons and this show made me fall in love with the music all over again. I was lucky enough to be on the second row the night I saw the show and it was incredible. I felt like I was part of the show. John Lloyd Young, Christian Hoff, J. Robert Spencer and Daniel Reichard are all incredible performers and the nicest people you could hope to meet. While in New York I had the chance to see three other shows as well (Wicked, Sweeney Todd, and Rent) and they were amazing but Jersey Boys is something else. It really is "too good to be true!" I loved every moment of it; my face hurt at intermission because I'd been smiling so hard! See the show and you'll know what I mean!!

WOW ! What can I say, Jan 03, 2009
|reviewer: Diane N from England
|We saw the Jersey Boys in June 2008 on Broadway and it was amazing. I was only just familiar with the sounds of Frankie Valli (being from England and a bit of a youngster for that era) but I am now hooked big style. The cast were fabulous. There are no big sets on scenes like you get with some shows but who needs them. I can honestly say this is by far the best show I have seen and will probably see for years to come. All the singers should be recommended however the guy playing Tommy was just superb. I hope to see it again when I travel from the UK very soon.

|My sister and I visited NYC in June 08 from New Orleans to celebrate our turning 40 one day! We went to see the Jersey Boys with the only knowledge I had from watching the Tony awards a couple of years prior and remembering the music from our Mom and Dad. We were part of the younger audience and simply could not stop smiling. When we left the theatre we were in such a wonderful mood and it's memory still brings a smile to my face when I hear one of the songs on the radio. I would recommend this show to anyone that goes to New York. If you are on a budget include this! We can't wait to we are able to return to your amazing, energetic, enjoyable and fascinating city. Thanks for the hospitality.

|reviewer: Ray Costa from Lake Worth, Fl
|What a evening. My Partner and I went to NYC to celebrate my 50th Birthday. We went to see Jersey boys, what a treat. I believe it was the BEST play we have seen for so long.Very talented boys. Jarrod Spector, what a voice. The show make you feel happy and take you back in time (good times) I am so happy for have the privilege to see them on stage.The BEST, BEST, BEST ever.

disappointed with the theatre, Jan 01, 2011
|reviewer: Margie Uy from New York
|spent a lot of money to take three kids to the Jersey Boys...but unfortunately, the next door club had an all day party going on...the bass beat was completely distracting...spoke with the manager, Willa. She says this happens all the time. My suggestion is if you want to see the show, wait until it is on the road in your neighborhood. Not worth the money on Broadway...the August Wilson theatre with the Roseland Club next door is a terrible venue.

Experience the full gamet of life's emotional roller-coaster, Jun 02, 2012
|reviewer: Jürgen from Melbourne, Australia
|Have been meaning to see this show for years. Missed it in Oz & just had to see it while in NY. I was blown away! An exquisitely written, beautifully performed, technically flawless, poignantly told story that touches on many emotional levels. Heartache, sorrow, joy, bliss, elation... a veritable emotional rollercoaster, all the while underpinned by the virtues of dedication, loyalty and the insatiable drive to escape the mundane and mediocre by finding 'it' the sound that resonates with a generation seeking an uplift to their spirits. Share this show with someone close to you. It will find a place in your heart and likely stay there until you draw your last breath. Congratulations to all involved in this wonderful production - you have truly honoured the essence of the original Jersey Boys.

|reviewer: Diane from Jersey
|Oh, what a night! Get ready for a high energy performance that will have you dancing in your seat. The cast in this play is spectacular! The singing is excellent, as well as the storyline. In fact, we are definitely going to see it again. New York has so many great restaurants to choose from. We had Dinner at Carmines (Family style) and let me tell you- the servings are enormous!

A Play and Concert all in One, Jun 12, 2006
|reviewer: Paul Onish from East Brunswick, NJ
|I took my wife and best friends to see and celebrate the Four Seasons nearly 50 years in the music industry and was over powered with the SOUND and movement of the evening. It was not a Broadway play but a Concert of some of the 4 Seasons best works and the audience agreed. I can't wait for the CD to come out.

YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS SHOW, Jul 12, 2006
|reviewer: gzee from USA
|This show was great. Fast paced, great music, great singing and acting by all the members of the ensemble. But the great memories it brings back are worth the price of the ticket. We are returning for our second show in October. The lead singer, can out--sing Frankie Valli, but the stories behind the music are so heartfelt and genuine. Do not listen to the print media, GO SEE THIS SHOW. I would recommend this to any baby boomer or older. DO NOT BRING KIDS PLEASE, we need our "own" show to savor!

Music and Magic, Aug 09, 2006
|reviewer: Clare from Philadelphia, PA USA
|If you are trying to show someone why live theater has it all over movies or TV for exciting entertainment, bring that someone to Jersey Boys. Without backing down from the harshness and the heartache in their lives, this show presents these four young men as real people, with real talent, which made a real difference in the lives of people who grew up enjoying these great sounds. The day I saw it (matinee on August 2), most of the people in the audience looked old enough to have screamed at their kids for liking the Four Seasons, but when the guys finally got it together with "Sherry," these people shrieked with joy. They clapped, stamped, and would have lit matches if the fire laws had allowed them to! For so many reasons, this show is pure magic. Seldom has the Tony gone to a worthier production.

Fabulous!!!!!!, Aug 11, 2006
|reviewer: true jersey girl from ri,usa
|This show was incredible! From start to finish the music, the story and the singing was nothing short of spectacular. Although I didn't grow up during that time, I love the music and hearing/seeing the four different views of their life was great!! There isn't a day that I don't listen to the soundtrack--John Lloyd Young is amazing in his portral of Frankie Valli AND that voice!!! I'd see again in a heartbeat.

I bought the soundtrack and have been listening to it every day. I can't wait to go back. By the end of the night they got a standing ovation. The Jersey Boys made this one Jersey Girl proud to be from the Garden State!!

I so love this show, I listen to the soundtrack every morning while I'm getting dressed for work and picture myself sitting there watching. This has been the best thing we have ever done in NYC.

Standing Ovations!, Jun 27, 2007
|reviewer: Carmen Cuevas from Houston, TX
|This show is unbelievable! Didn't understand hype at first. Narratives don't usually work, nor do rock concerts. Couldn't have been more wrong! This show's about a different time, when a handshake closed deals. Rags to riches story comes naturally. We've all seen bigger names & shows from Broadway to the West End. But to us baby-boomers, we embraced that simpler era. Fortyplus years of memories rushed back. Your blue-collar neighborhood, your pals, your music, that boy or girl who broke your heart. Or better yet, you're there together! Above expectations met, even after waiting three hours in the cancellation line and all getting house seats for $120 each! Total strangers, now lifelong friends. Cast graciously sign autographs at stage door. Be patient, especially for John Lloyd Young who has to cool his voice down after his incredible transformation. But they're ALL great, from the extras to the horn section to Hoff and others. DON'T wait for the touring companies. See this show now!

The Crowd Goes Wild, Jun 27, 2007
|reviewer: - from -
|Jersey Boys is a wonderful and exciting show full of laughs, cries, and songs. This is a must see for any Frankie Valli fan. I have seen the show 5 times and will be back for some more. The cast and crew is incredibly gracious and kind. The stage door is the place to be after the show. The actors will sign autographs and take pictures (after you seen the show, you will definitely want pictures with the 'Boys'). I have sat in all sections of the theatre and each section has its pros and cons. For example, first row: pros-see the actors facial expressions, get winks and smiles from the Boys during the show, have a 'first row experience'. cons-little leg room, have to tilt head upwards (as the stage is much higher than the seats). Mezz: pros-see the entire stage, good sound. cons-can't see the facial expressions of the actors well. Overall a 5 star show. If you can't get tickets consider standing room and cancellation line. It is more than worth it.

Ohh What A Night!!!!, Jan 30, 2008
|reviewer: Belleville NJ!!! from Anytown, AT 55555
|I took my family to see this show� to look down the row and see my dad smiling ear to ear singing as proudly as he could made my day. This show is outstanding and makes me proud to have grown up in and around the area where history created itself. Our family grew up with Frankie Valli he used to sing on my Aunts porch back in the day, in my heart I�m from that era being brought up listening to their music. The performers did an awesome job, they references made to the area were right on however my dad caught a few that they changed the name maybe for sponsorship reasons who know�s it really didn�t make a difference I�d still see the show again..

Oh What a Show!, Sep 09, 2008
|reviewer: Anonymous from New York
|Purchased the tickets 8 months in advance and it was well worth the wait. Would definitely see again. You won't be disappointed. The actors in Jersey Boys are as generous and giving with their time as they are talented...stopping to sign autographs, take photos, or just chat with whomever was waiting outside the stage doors. Even if one was given a direct compliment, they responded on behalf of the cast, thanking you and telling you how much they all enjoy performing for the audience. These gents are truly a class act!!

Employee guest services, Mar 08, 2012
|reviewer: I.Green from North Carolina
|While the musical was great...I had a few things to address. First upon arrival the woman scanning tickets was extremely rude...so rude we asked for a superisor to complain. We requested a written complaint form & were told there was none & she would take care of it. Later during intermission we ran across the same employee barking orders to guests. It was clear she felt she had the right to be rude. The two at the ticket counter were no better. Two of the girls in the musical were bringing their rift to the stage. When singing my boy frinds back..the lead singer and the girl on the right (when facing the stage) were glaring at one another and the one on the right kept singing over the girl in the center singing lead. Both became off key while the other girl could hatdly be heard. If proper guest services were present & the two girls did not bring their problems to the stage...it would have beenore enjoyable.

|reviewer: JOHN from Bronx, NY
|Everything about the musical was fabulous! The 4 main guys were very entertaining! However, this theatre needs updating and packs them in like sardines!!!! I have a problem rubbing elbows with my neighbor and keeping my arms crossed for 2 hours. I would have walked out if this show didn't amuse me quickly. And I wouldn't consider 165 lbs. too big for seating! Movie theatres have way better seating!

What's with the Jersey Boys language, Apr 19, 2013
|reviewer: Alberta McCosh from Greenwood Lake, New York
|The performance was great except for the use of the "F" word so many times. There was absolutely no need for the use of the "F" word to relate the story. I grew up in Jersey during the Four Seasons era and that word was not part of our talk. This vulgar word is offensive to young and older people in the audience.

|I saw Jersey Boys with my wife way back in 2006 with the original cast while working in the USA. Fantastic to see that it is still running at the same theatre. Went to see it again in London when I returned back home to England. Brilliant musical. 18 wonderful months working and living in the US. We really must get back to Broadway. New York really is quite fantastic.

|This was my friends & I first visit to NY and we wanted a Broadway show not available in London (oh I wish it was) and we were not disappointed. The show was absolutely fantastic, everything about it was great & I thought John Lloyd Young & the rest of the cast paid The Four Seasons a fantastic compliment. I would love to see it again, how about bringing it to the West End boys? You would go down swell!!!. Well done and thank you for a wonderful evening, it rounded off a fantastic trip to the Big Apple..

A Wonderful Concert Experience, Feb 08, 2007
|reviewer: Ginny from Whitestone, NY
|I don't like musicals. That said, seeing Jersey Boys was more like having a front-row seat at a concert of the original Four Seasons back in the 60's. I saw them at Central Park for considerably less than I paid for this show, but every penny -- and every minute of the show -- was worth it. See it with someone who was with you way back when -- we laughed and cried together. One of my best nights out!!!

|We saw Jersey Boys in March 2007 and it was outstanding. I'd see it over and over and over if I was fortunate enough to live in NYC. We paid high prices for tickets as no discounts were available when we purchased, but it was worth every cent and then some. Our seats were way in the back, but we didn't miss anything. I can't recommend this highly enough. If you have an opportunity to see this show, please do it. You will not be sorry. I can't wait to see it again.

Worth Seeing Over and Over, Jun 03, 2009
|reviewer: Jeff from San Francisco
|Jersey Boys is one of those rare musicals that can be seen over and over, like listening to a terrific album. You never tire of the music, the dancing, the staging, and the overall great feeling of wonder at the true story line. Spector has captured the essence of Franki Valli to a remarkable level. After each song, I found myself asking 'how could this get any better'? Bring your cheering voice.

|This was a great musical...it was clear there seemed to be some jealous rift between the females that was brought tothe stage. The guy playing the mobster also played the priest...a lil odd for me. However, I want to point out the people selling tickets and converting vouchers to tickets were extremely rude. In addition, those taking tickets were more rude. This made the show less enjoyable.

|reviewer: Edward Spring from Boston, Ma. USA
|Just to add to my first review I want to say that I was disappointed to see a vendor in the theater just before the curtain went up hawking bottled water and beer. For a moment I thought I was at Fenway Park waiting for a Red Sox game to start. I have been to August Wilson four times to see J/Boys and I am told this was the first night they have done this. Beer vendors in the audience has no place in a venerable theater like the August Wilson. What were you thinking?

|We booked to see the show whilst staying with relatives in NY.The show was a Saturday Afternoon performance. On arrival were ushered to seats which didn't match our ticket seat numbers but were content to stay at these The Usherette then told us she had made a mistake and showed us to the correct location. The lady was really lovely and very apologetic although we didn't feel it was a problem at all. We were even given complimentary vouchers for refreshments at half time in the show which again was not necessary but gratefully received! The Jersey Boys production and cast were excellent and we would have paid to see it again. Full marks to the Theatre and the Usherette we dealt with should be commended for her courtesy and Customer Care. D & N Hughes

|I saw JB in Fort lauderdale twice and wondered if the NY rendition would disappoint. It did not. The cast was top draw but Dominic Nolfi is outstanding. However, I was very disappointed when I waited by the Stage Door for his appearance. He was not as gracious or nice as the other members of the cast. Nolfi had an "attitude" almost bigger than his talent. The guy at the Stage Door was so nice. I was visiting from FTL with my daughter and granddaughter from NJ. He should remember we're the people who put him on stage.

|My husband, my 89 year old mother and myself saw the Jersey Boys on Broadway on Dec 22nd. It was the HIGHLIGHT of our New York City trip. The August Wilson Theatre is first class and the show was FANTASTIC. My husband grew up in the Arch Bishop Walsh projects near Steven Crane Village where Frankie Valli is from and it brought back memories for him of singing on the street corners. We even visited Dickie Dees for hotdogs in Newark and saw Frankie's picture on the wall. The cast of the show was wonderful and so professional. WE LOVED the entire production.We live in a small town in Georgia now and really felt humbled by seeing this show. I cannot imagine going to Broadway and not seeing the Jersey Boys. Thank you again.

this cast is the best, Jun 04, 2010
|reviewer: Edward Spring from Boston, Ma. USA
|My wife and I stumbled upon Jersey Boys back in April of 2010 on a recomendation of a friend. We have been back three more times since and will continue to see it as long as Jared Specter and the present cast is doing the show. This is not meant as a criticism of any of the previous casts but I cannot imagine anyone doing it better. I grew up a Frankie Valli fan and never knew the history of the "Four Seasons". It's just an incredible show. Thanks for doing it.

THE Highlight of our trip to USA & CANADA, Sep 27, 2010
|reviewer: Jeff & Glenis Townend from West Yorkshire, England
|Fantastic show with the music, definitely the cast,the sets and the atmosphere in the theatre out of this world. Queued and managed to obtain tickets for the show whilst on a short visit my wife and I made to NY last week - it put the icing on the cake. Definitely a great family night out but only for the older kids!

Jersy Boys, Mar 19, 2012
|reviewer: Gale from New Mexico
|This was a great musical...I attended Feb. 28, it was clear there seemed to be some jealous rift between the females that was brought to the stage. However, I want to point out the people selling tickets and converting vouchers to tickets were extremely rude. In addition, those taking tickets were more rude. This made the show less enjoyable. I will never attend another show on Broadway...It is not worth it if the peons working there treat you like shit!!!

Valli from bowling Alley, May 26, 2013
|reviewer: Carol P-York from Merritt Island, FL, USA
|I was enthralled; couldn't "take my eyes off of them". The cast was terrific and Frankie just got better as the show progressed. I laughed, cried, sang and just couldn't control my emotions. I had just watched Frankie perform on the American Idol Finale and he's still got IT. I loved this show and it shouldn't be missed. I will happily see it again when the opportunity arises but you can't beat Broadway. Thanks from this Floridian for a wonderful experience. By the way, my big burly husband shed a few tears also. May the Four Seasons music never die and may Frankie's health keep him up and going for years to come. Fabulous is how I would describe this show in just one word. Warmest Regards, Carol

Could you be getting in your way of producing great work? Have you started a project but never finished? Would you like to do work that matters, but don't know where to start? The answer is Do the Work, a manifesto by best-selling author Steven Pressfield, that will show you that it's not about better ideas, it's about actually doing the work. Do the Work is a weapon against Resistance - a tool that will help you take action and successfully ship projects out the door.
"There is an enemy. There is an intelligent, active, malign force working against us. Step one is to recognize this. This recognition alone is enormously powerful. It saved my life, and it will save yours." For other titles like Do the Work, visit thedominoproject.com for more information.

"We all need reminding"
I have returned to this book again and been delightfully reminded that the effort to make change is huge but worth it. No one that attempts anything worthwhile achieved it without the constant battle between that which you want to bring to the world and the internal resistance to stay small.
"The type of book you'll read (or listen to) again"
Short and to the point - the kick in the ass every creative needs every now and again.
Loved it. The narration was good. The concepts are easy to understand with examples. I would love to read more from this author.
"Get motivated/free yourself to fulfil your dreams."
Helpful to take a look at internal resistance versus strategies to assist in reaching your goals. Important messages which have helped me.
"Powerhouse of Motivation"
Short. To the point. Helpful with getting through the pondering and oft times paralyzed stage of projects and creation. Upbeat and encouraging. A book I have listened to several times and will definitely play again. A highly recommended positive motivator.
"Good Information"
Read Pressfield's 'The War of Art' first; this book is a good follow-up to that.
'The War of Art' delineates the enemy of creative work as internal Resistance; it defines Resistance's various incarnations (procrastinating, creating drama, keeping busy with less-important tasks, etc.), and points the way toward defeating Resistance by "turning pro".
'Do the Work' moves on from there to give more detailed instructions and advice on how to overcome Resistance. This includes the counterintuitive admonition to:
"Stay stupid": Ignorance & arrogance are the artist's & entrepreneur's indispensible allies. Be clueless enough not to know how difficult the project will be, & cocky enough to believe you can pull it off anyway.
"Begin before you're ready". Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it now.
Don't over-think, over-prepare, or let research become resistance.
Begin at the finish: Figure out where you want to go, then work backwards from there.
This book has many other gems, such as the Seven Principles of Resistance, the Two Tests of Resistance, the inevitability of the Big Crash (the 'wall' you'll hit when everything seems to be going well) and the two axioms to keep in mind while working through it.
Will 'Do the Work' revolutionize your life or your creative work? Maybe not. But it's great inspiration and a new way of looking at the problem of making art, and for that it's definitely worth it.
"Get your butt in gear and do the work."
Definitely recommended for anybody doing any type of creative work.
The straightforward talk about resistance to getting work done.
I like his frank, nearly choppy, style.
This book echos in my head!
"Good, Small Book"
A little bit more than one hour, with lots of contents. I liked it! I would have given it 5 stars if it was longer.
"I bought three copies for friends"
It is one of the better audio books I have listened to.
There are many memorable moments that I could detail, but that would take too long.
One of my favorite parts was when he talked about the routine of creativity.
"5 Stars for "Do the Work""
"Do the Work" was well worth my time and money. Though Pressfield is a book and movie writer many of his personal apt personal examples of finishing an idea, book, script, etc are applicable to just about anyone taking on any big challenge. I am a PhD student, nearing the finish line and just hit my 'wall', struggeling to get past some difficult courses, and this book was a heavens send. Again, many take-a-ways especially for any writer but valueable for anyone else who is jumping out on faith and following a dream or idea.
"Don't Live Life Without It"
To the point
This is a no BS approach to staying in the game, to living your life. Steven's voice is awesome and inspiring
I could taste the passion. His performance was brilliant!
Everything. I've listened to the book 3x in a row and I'm quoting from it to my friends.
"Love it"
Short ... simple ... amusing and to the point ... it's a very good listen for those who need to start writing or begin with any project ... funny at times ... but inspiring always ... worth your time and money
"excellent book!"
I loved how matter-of-fact he is and holds no punches. it was nice to listen to such passion in what he was telling you. I loved the audio book so much I bought the paperback so I can mark it up and tag the good stuff!
"CliffsNotes for The War of Art"
I love Pressfield's The War of Art, and what you get here is the outline of that original and nothing more. There's nothing new here, and nothing worth the cost of purchase. It feels like a bit of sleight of hand, a new twist to squeeze juice from the rind. Or more appropriately, money from your pocket. It's not like it's simplifying a complex, difficult, or even lengthy read. The War of Art is less than three hours, utterly accessible, and worth every minute. This is just a scam, a rewrite of that title using nothing but delete. If you haven't read it already, invest your money in The Art of War. It's worth every minute and every penny. And if you have read it, don't waste your time or money here. You've already got everything Pressfield appears to have to say on this subject. Reread it. It's still worth it, even the second time. I give this title three stars only because the original information is still valuable. But I genuinely resent having paid for that information twice.
"Hit's the nail on the head!"
I've already listened to this book twice and will no doubt listen to over and over again. It's short, easy to digest and gets straight ti the point.
I liked the fact that Seven has clearly 'been there done' that so found it really easy to relate to.
Stevens sincerity shines through and as such I found it to be a really positive experience, not just another audio book.
Yes, and I did.
An excellent piece of motivational material. 5 stars!!
"To the point"
Concise and to the point.
Having succeeded a few times with projects in life I can relate to the content.
Now I spend too much time researching, procrastinating and pleasing others.
Back to what works.
"Geat and insightful book"
I like the concise element, but full of great stories that can make you ponder away.
"Love this little book!"
I owe a debt of gratitude to the author for articulating what goes on in my mind when working on new projects! Read it!
"Punchy and Powerful"
Pressfield doesn't mince his words - he sears them quickly over a blowtorch and lays them, charred and bloody on your plate.
If you want to think about doing something, read someone else. If you want to actually achieve something, read Pressfield.
"If you're procrastinating, this is for you!"
I'm about to launch a YouTube channel. For a month I was all fired up, nothing and no one could stop my momentum. Then I hit a wall. Resistance. Steven explains the creative process and the resistance you go through so brilliantly in this book, you'll wish you found it years ago. And he's wonderful to listen to!
"great book by a brilliant writer"
Always inspirational, Steven Pressfield is one of those writers where you know no matter what it is you are going to take away something that will change your life. This is no different, I would recommend it to everyone.
"Value - if you dare"
This is a simple straight forward book.
I valued the open approach that Steven takes with his work and the vulnerability he displays in admitting his own mistakes.
The ideas and learnings I found were valuable. I recommend this book.
Try it
"Great audiobook if your tripping over your own limiting beliefs"
I found this audio really useful in reminding my positive self to accept the gauntlet laid down by my inner dragon and forge on anyway!
"The right Book at the right Time"
It's hard to say. I have enjoyed other books more but this helped me to focus on the right thing, namely building the habits of a professional. Other books might have pulled me in shinier, but ultimately less useful directions.
The idea that resistance is nothing personal was quite helpful for me.
The voice seems to reveal more about who he is than only the words on a page would.
Battle advice for the long-term creative.
The concept about impersonal resistance is incredibly helpful. However I do find that the macho battle rhetoric can also be the very thing that stands in our way. It sounds cooler and more heroic to say that each and every day is some epic battle, but while that might be true some days, on others it's simply not.

Take 5: Top Things To Do in La Jolla
A short drive north of Paradise Point is one of San Diego's best beach neighborhoods – La Jolla! This hidden jewel is a sophisticated beach town with a dramatic coastline and amazing viewpoints, including Mt. Soledad. The seaside village offers more than just exclusive shopping and dining, and there are plenty of free things to do in La Jolla, including a quintessential San Diego day at the beach. It's no surprise La Jolla was recently named one of the 15 best beaches by Fodor's Travel for its shoreline perfectly suited for surfing, snorkeling, kayaking, and scuba diving.
When staying at our resort near La Jolla, take 5 for these top things to do in La Jolla:
Eat Here: Head to Caroline's Seaside Café by Giuseppe that sits atop the Scripps Seaside Forum, an award-winning venue, for a California-style breakfast or early lunch. Grab a seat on their outside patio and order the housemade chocolate chip pancakes for a deliciously sweet breakfast and ocean views to match.
Drink Here: Relish in one of Pannikin's fresh roasted coffee or exotic blended teas. This family owned and operated shop has been serving the San Diego community since 1968, with two other locations just north of La Jolla.
Play Here: Take a walk through Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve, a long stretch of land in the northern part of La Jolla. It's the best place to experience San Diego's outdoors, with 8 miles of trails and several viewpoints overlooking the Pacific.
Shop Here: Stroll down Girard Avenue for a world-class fashion experience full of unique shops, boutiques and art galleries. You'll easily find one-of-a-kind items and luxurious brands along this popular shopping destination in La Jolla.
Snap Here: The Children's Pool boasts stunning 360-degree views of land and sea, plus an up-close look at some of San Diego's wildlife! Originally intended for children to swim, numerous seals and sea lions now call this cove home. A seawall built in the early 1930's is the perfect vantage point for capturing their antics on film.
For a resort near La Jolla, stay at Paradise Point Resort & Spa, located just 15 minutes away on Mission Bay.
The "Take 5" blog series introduces visitors to San Diego's unique neighborhoods through recommendations from experts on the area: hotel employees who live there. Check back every month to learn about a new section of the city, always within 10 miles of our centrally located San Diego resort.

The point is that there are human beings who are not receptive to dzogchen. Among this group there are people who have either been conditioned by secular humanism or have lost faith in religion for any number of reasons. In these cases mainstream Nikāya Buddhism has an advantage for turning the mind towards the dharma in that these teachings are more accessible via step-by-step investigation and analysis. Lamrim and lojong have similar advantages. There are authoritative teachers teaching within all of these traditions, and students who can attest to the utility and benefits of these practices. This isn't controversial -- there are teachers within dzogchen lineages who acknowledge these points as well.

Wynonna Judd's Husband Has Leg Amputated Following Motorcycle Accident
RAPID CITY, S.D. – Wynonna Judd's husband has lost his leg after a motorcycle crash in South Dakota.
Michael Scott "Cactus" Moser was riding a motorcycle on U.S. Highway 16 in the Black Hills on Saturday when he crossed the center line and hit a car. He was airlifted to a hospital.
A representative for Judd said Monday that Moser's leg was "severed at the scene of the accident" and that doctors have amputated his leg above his knee. Moser has also had surgery on his hand.
Judd is postponing scheduled concerts in Canada as a result. Moser is a resident of Nashville, Tenn., and the drummer in the country singer's band.
The statement says the couple appreciates the "well-wishes from family, friends and fans."

A Japanese sake house near Tokyo has stolen one of my ideas and employed monkeys as waiters—one brings hot towels to customers when they sit down, and another takes orders and delivers bottles of sake. They're tipped in edamame, which U.S. waitstaff should seriously consider since you don't have to report it, and since the dollar will soon be worth about the same anyway. Our favorite quote from the article: "'The monkeys are actually better waiters than some really bad human ones,' customer Takayoshi Soeno said." Hold on to your hats, there's video footage below!
The owner kept the monkeys as pets, but saw one of them copying him one day, so he handed him a hot towel and watched him bring it to a customer. Now he's deliberately training three more, which actually concerns us a little. Two monkeys is hilarious, but put five monkey waiters together and you're risking a monkey union, which we imagine won't be quite so enjoyable—imagine Sally Field throwing her poo at the other factory workers instead of scribbling on cardboard.

General News of Wednesday, 5 December 2012
Source: XYZ
The final rally of the NDC has just ended at the Accra International Trade Fair Centre with President Mahama making his final political statement for the season.
President John Dramani Mahama: Thanked the Greater Accra region for the rally. Dedicates the campaign and the victory ahead to the late President Mills. Says Ghanaians have absorbed the message of the NDC and will give the party another term. President Mahama called for vigilance ahead of the election. "We are confident that if this election is peaceful and everything is done according to plan, i am confident that the NDC will win this election come December 7."
He said the government has done its part by providing all the necessary resources for the EC and the security services. Unless there are some evil forces that are planning to unleash evil on this country.
He said in order to have a basis for comparison, the Mahama administration must also be given eight years. He said due to the work the NDC has done in four years , their opponents are hoping they don't get another four years but the NPP is not God. He said the NDC's education programme is solid and the track record is strong.
He said the NPP increased SHS to four years and did not provide a single classroom block for the students. He said the NPP is trying to pull him into the Free SHS debate but it will not wash. He insisted that progressively making SHS free is the best.
"Ghana must not adopt the free SHS on the desperate political promise of a politician who wants to be elected as president," the President said.
NDC has a solid programme that goes beyond education and encompasses tourism, jobs, energy and so on.
He said God's will will be done on December 7. "I will be the needle that will sow the cloth of Ghana together and above all we will make sure that Ghana continues to be peaceful and stable."
Vice President Amissah-Arthur: Says residents of the Central Region say they are solidly behind the president.
Dr. Cadman Mills: The election is about Mills' legacy. President Mills said he was well pleased with the Vice President. President Mahama is a listener, an integrator. Urges NDC supporters not to respond to provocation.
Samuel Ofosu Ampofo: He says the NDC has developed many areas in the country and that no region has been left behind in the sharing of the national cake. He called for massive votes for the NDC.
Shirley Aryeetey Minister for Env't Science and Tech: She says the NDC supporters should come out in their numbers to vote. She says nobody should be scared on the day of the election because the police and other security officials will protect life and property.
NDC Chairman Dr. Kwabena Adjei: Calls for vigilance on the day of the election. He said there are plots to cause blackouts and blame it on the government but stated that it will not be countenanced.
General Secretary of the NDC Johnson Asiedu Nketia: He assured that nobody is going recruit machomen for the election
He has called on the GJA to check media houses who are doing the bidding of the opposition by destroying the hard won reputation of the NDC
He said the NPP is planning to cause mayhem but they will not retaliate when they are attacked because they want peace.
Says they have taken snapshots of the elections already and there is every indication that the party has already won
He said the opposition NPP is only crying wold because they know they have already lost.
He said he did not want to speak because the party is marking the 100 days of the burial of the late president Mills.

A FORMER secretary at the Lancashire Telegraph who once met Tom Jones led an interesting and varied life before losing her two-year battle with terminal lung cancer.
Florence Amanda Maria Dugdale, known as Mandy, died on December 30, just months short of her 60th birthday.
Born in Hannover, Germany, she lived in Malaysia, and Folkstone, before the family relocated to Blackburn and she attended Witton Park High School before moving on to secretarial college.
She met Tom Jones in the Cavendish Club in Blackburn on her 18th birthday before he was famous. She married her husband David Speak in 1976.
The couple, who lived in Knowsley Road West, met a number of famous faces during their travels.
They met actors Telly Savalas and Richard Roundtree in Rhodes filming Escape to Athena in 1978, and the cast of Star Wars in Tunisia in 1977. She also met the Queen, Prince Charles, Princess Anne and Cliff Richard and was kissed on the cheek by Cilla Black.
The couple divorced in 1985, and Mrs Speak never remarried and brought up their son Richard.
Mrs Speak worked at the Lancashire Evening Telegraph as a secretary and later in advertising, winning sales person of the year.
She worked at Blackburn Rovers in the commercial depart- ment, before becoming com- mercial manager at Burnley FC.
Mrs Speak also worked as appeal secretary for the Blackburn Cathedral Lan-tern Tower Appeal, Burnley, Pendle and Rossendale hospitals as a primary care administrator, as a swimming teacher at Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School in Blackburn and part-time as PA to Lord Taylor of Blackburn.
In December 2010, she became ill and was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer following an operation in October 2011. Her son Richard said: "Mum was fearlessly independent and always trying to help others. Last year was a difficult year. She was preparing to move to London to live with me but her illness overcame her and she passed away without too much suffering. She was kind and generous, often to her own detriment."
Her funeral will take place on Monday at 2.15pm at Wilpshire Methodist Church. Her ashes will be scattered in the Lake District in a small private ceremony for her 60th birthday in May.

Just prior to entering the University of Michigan Law School, Wendy Chi taught in a Bay area under-resourced school. That experience motivated her to plan a career combining education and law, and brought her to CU-Boulder.
Having already earned a BA degree with Honors from the University of Chicago, she was eager to explore the field of law. While enrolled in law school, she realized that she needed a stronger background in education, too. Thus, after earning her JD, she entered the University of Colorado Boulder School of Education's PhD program in Educational Foundations, Policy and Practice, coincidentally just as the school was embarking on its first cohort model.
"I had to take both qualitative and quantitative courses and that made me feel very well rounded and prepared for the job market," Chi said. "And, there was great camaraderie among my peers because we were in classes together all day."
Professor Kevin Welner, who also has both his JD and PhD degrees, was her advisor. As a nationally known education policy expert, he helped guide her desire to incorporate her dual passions of law and K-12 education.
Indeed, Chi's dissertation, "Racial Isolation in Charter Schools: Achieving the Goals of Diversity and Constitutionality in the Post-PICS Era," interweaves law and education. The research encompasses data she obtained from the Delaware Department of Education and explores the impact of the PICS case decided by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2007 that struck down race-conscious policies in Seattle and Louisville, Ky.
"I grew up in Delaware, which was racially segregated. The inner city students were bused to the suburbs and vice versa," Chi said. "Charter schools became prevalent in Delaware and now are also becoming extremely segregated."
Chi's research uses the dataset she obtained to compare the racial compositions and achievement levels between charter and traditional public schools. She follows up with a legal analysis using the PICS decision.
"This research made me wonder what districts can do to address segregation in their schools given the Supreme Court decision that struck down race-conscious policies." What she discovered opened her eyes about enrollment practices in Delaware charter schools.
"I found that students in Delaware moved from traditional public schools to charter schools with more of their own race. I also found that minority students were moving to charter schools with lower levels of achievement than the public schools they left. Non-minority students moved to charter schools that were higher achieving than traditional public schools."
Now, as she leaves academia, she is open to career possibilities in school districts, policy organizations or government, "as long as it's something I believe in."

Transoperative pain management: A framework
Pain can be protective, but through the stress response it also may make significant contributions to patient morbidity and even mortality. A recent study in humans, for example, revealed that in people undergoing routine ambulatory surgery, persistent pain will be experienced by 10 percent to 50 percent of patients, and the chronic pain will be severe in 2 percent to 10 percent of these individuals.1
A foundation of effective pain management is the use of multiple modalities, which allows for intervention at several different places along the nociceptive pathway. This can not only improve patient comfort but minimize the need for high or protracted doses of any one particular drug.For example, it is well-established in human medicine, that using adjunct medications will minimize the use of patient-controlled analgesia (opioids), resulting in a decreased incidence of adverse effects such as nausea and constipation and an earlier exit from the hospital.2-5 And the U.S. military concluded in a recent landmark analysis, "Multimodal therapy encompasses a wide range of procedures and medications, including regional analgesia with continuous epidural or peripheral nerve block infusions, judicious opioids, ... anti-inflammatory agents, anticonvulsants, ketamine, [alpha-2 agonists], ... antidepressants, and anxiolytics as options to treat or modulate pain at various sites of action."6 So, with a more aggressive, acute pain management strategy, the military decreased acute and chronic pain conditions, which may have application in the civilian sector, too.
The need for a framework
The good news is that veterinary clinicians have a vast array of possible pharmacologic interventions. The bad news: Clinicians are faced with a vast array of possible pharmacologic interventions. That is, of all the possibilities, what should any one patient receive? At what dose, or in what combination? How often and for how long? And many clinicians remain uncertain or uncomfortable with polypharmacy, concerned with matters such as possible drug interactions, adverse effects, cost and managing scheduled drugs.7
Proposed here is a framework of transoperative pain management—preceding the incision, through the surgical period itself and into the recovery period. By definition, it cannot be a one-size-fits-all strategy, because there's no such thing. Rather, it's a scaffold upon which clinicians can structure the pain management needs of most every patient.
While there is no metric to evaluate the quality of pain management across veterinary practices, previous studies have demonstrated a tendency toward the underuse of strong opioids and locoregional anesthesia.8 Also, while use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) remains widespread and fairly ubiquitous, over-reliance on this class of drugs alone likely would not only undermanage some (perhaps many) patients for their pain, but could increase the possibility of NSAID-induced adverse effects. In contradistinction, using a combination of antianxiety medications, strong opioids and locoregional anesthesia in addition to NSAIDs would elevate a practice's pain management strategies to the top tier.

NEW ORLEANS -- Chris Culliver likes telling people, "Cully in the house," which is his way of announcing his presence and alerting us to start paying attention.
That's what the 49ers' nickel cornerback blurted to me Wednesday morning when he was a bit perturbed that I was interviewing starter Tarell Brown, and not Culliver.
"Cully in the house, too," Culliver said from across the table.
Well, Cully's all over the nation now, and probably the world.
After his brutish, insensitive homophobic comments to a radio station (made at Tuesday's Media Day) were relayed through the Super Bowl media megaphone Wednesday afternoon, Culliver will have all the attention he could ever want.
At Thursday's final player media session, Culliver will be surrounded, and every word and gesture will be weighed and measured.
That is, if Culliver is in the house Thursday.
I think the 49ers will make sure Culliver makes an in-person apology or clarification, though it might be brief.
At the Super Bowl, the worst distractions are the ones that last the longest, and the 49ers' best chance to cut this one off is to nudge Culliver in front of the cameras and have him admit his foolishness.
He can believe whatever he wants to believe, but his words, in the ultra-public Super Bowl setting, were inappropriate, small-minded and not befitting a representative of any sports franchise.
The 49ers put out a strong condemnation of Culliver's words Wednesday, and team president Gideon Yu followed that with his own comment on Twitter.
"I love our team and our players," Yu said. "I absolutely abhor discrimination. These don't have to be mutually exclusive feelings ..."
Will this be a game-changing moment? Probably not, though it probably does not do much for Culliver's focus.

I read somewhere that the Buddha removed his robes then laid down and asked his disciples to look at his body. I am guessing that the Buddha wanted his students and future practitioners to know that even a Buddha's form body is subject to decay and impermanence.
