Two tickets to ‘Paradise Lost’
“Paradise Lost” is a Depression-era drama rife with parallels to the current economic and political climate. In the wrong hands, a predictable production of Clifford Odets’ period piece could bore an entire audience into a coma.

Allen: NFL 365
I was a little surprised this week when I saw that media sessions were being set up with Patriots players who are participating in the voluntary offseason workouts down in Gillette Stadium. I guess I shouldn't be, but its just another sign that the National Football League is a 365-days-a-year proposition these days.

Summer jobs programs for Hub youth employ over 10,000 kids

BOSTON. Yesterday, Gov. Deval Patrick and Mayor Thomas Menino were part of a group lauding the teamwork that enabled the state to employ more than 10,000 youth in summer jobs, surpassing a goal set in March.

Surrounded in the courtyard of the Hurley Building on Staniford Street by some of the 10,335 youngsters employed in summer jobs, Patrick pointed to an aggregate of financial assistance that took the summer jobs programs to new heights.

“Thanks to an innovative combination of state and federal recovery funds, more kids than ever have a chance to work, earn and learn this summer,” he said.

In March, Patrick committed state and federal recovery funds of $30 million over two years to enhance summer jobs programs. Over $21 million came from work force development funds provided through the federal stimulus package.
