  • L.G. says Baker 'undersitmates the public's intelligence'

    Jim O'Sullivan/State House News Service

    Lt. Gov. Timothy Murray, the Patrick administration’s leading aggressor on the campaign trail, charged Monday that Republican rival Charles Baker possessed an inflated sense of his own brainpower, and a distortedly low judgment of the electorate’s – reviving a campaign feud that boiled last week. “He underestimates the public’s intelligence and overestimates his own,” Murray told the News Service, striking at one of Baker’s bedrock arguments, that he is uniquely equipped to tackle the most vexing problems facing Beacon Hill. Murray accused Baker of…

    A man who attempted to lure an undercover agent posing as a 13-year-old girl into sexual relations had his convictions thrown out Friday, disappointing prosecutors and prompting a state senator to say she’d push for updates to the obscenity laws.

The court reviewed copies of internet conversations in which the Plymouth County man, Matt Zubiel, under the online moniker ILikeSports04, asked a…

But prosecutors in the Plymouth Superior Court trial called witness after witness who described the little girl’s lethargy, tremors and weakness – and her parents’ seeming lack of grief after her death.

The Education Parity Act would only apply to students who've graduated from a Massachusetts high school that they've attended for at least three years, and require they sign an affidavit stating they'd seek legal permanent residency or citizenship. Advocates estimate it would make college affordable for approximately 600 students in Massachusetts. Chelsea resident Mario Rodas spoke…

For its 30-year anniversary, PBS' home improvement show This Old House partnered with the city of Boston and local development company Nuestra Comunidad in revamping an 1870s-era house in Roxbury. "This was one of the worst homes we have worked on," says Kevin O'Connor, host of This Old House, who's been behind the scenes and in front of the camera for over 60 renovations. Vacant and foreclosed for roughly five years, the home was about as inhabitable as an exhaust…

    The handing of the torch between the two Bruins goalies may come a lot sooner than most people once thought. Tim Thomas has struggled thus far this season and his ”backup” Tuukka Rask has showed that he can be the starting goalie in the NHL. Coming off a recent shutout of the Montreal Canadiens, Rask (in comparison to Thomas) actually has a winning record on the year. While the former 2009 Vezina Trophy winner as the league’s top goalie sits at a losing record of 13-15-7, the rookie Rask improved his record to 11-7-4 on the year with Sunday’s win. Rask actually…

One killer pick-six in the fourth quarter put an end to all that. That play was more Peyton Manning of 2004 than it was the QB we’ve seen since the AFC title game in 2006. The interception sealed the game for the Saints, who rallied from a 10-0…

    On Saturday afternoon in El Paso, TX, two UConn Huskies, Marcus Easley and Robert Vaughn, were participants in the Texas vs The Nation game. The game was won by the Texas squad 36-17. After looking hard all day, I was finally able to come across a box score although it didn’t list defensive statistics. While I couldn’t find any stats on how Vaughn did in the game, Easley did have 2 catches for 21 yards.

  • Rask puts a stop to Bruins’ losing ways

    Fluto Shinzawa, Globe Staff
    7 Feb 2010 | 9:00 pm
    As expected, Year One of Tuukka Rask’s NHL career has been a tale of caution. With far too much evidence, starting from the early demise of Hannu Toivonen, of the woes that come from fast-tracking young goaltenders, the Bruins have practiced patience with Rask, feeding the 22-year-old just enough playing time to keep him from going soft.

  • Bruins beat Habs, snap 10-game losing streak

  • They have hit a switch

    Frank Dell’Apa, Globe Staff
    8 Feb 2010 | 9:00 pm
    The first two months of the season indicated the Celtics were going to have a cakewalk to the playoffs. They won their first five games by an average margin of 21.6 points, including a season-opening 95-89 victory at Cleveland. Then, from Nov. 22-Dec. 25, the Celtics went 14-1, losing only to Philadelphia, 98-97, Dec. 18.

  • Celtics’ failure needs study in the third degree

    Frank Dell’Apa, Globe Staff
    7 Feb 2010 | 9:00 pm
    Third-quarter letdowns have been costly for the Celtics this season. But the Celtics took third-quarter lowlights to even greater depths in a 96-89 loss to the Orlando Magic yesterday.

  • Relaxing the cause of tension

    Frank Dell’Apa, Globe Staff
    7 Feb 2010 | 9:00 pm
    The days of the Celtics setting the tone after halftime are apparently long gone. Their 11-point production in the third quarter of a 96-89 loss to Orlando yesterday set a team season low for scoring in a quarter.

  • Their effort not hard to categorize

    Gary Washburn, Globe Staff
    7 Feb 2010 | 9:00 pm
    Elite teams don’t get outscored, 36-11, in a quarter. “The Celtics aren’t an elite team,’’ ESPN/ABC NBA analyst Jeff Van Gundy said after Boston collapsed in the third quarter yesterday at TD Garden and dropped a 96-89 decision to the Orlando Magic.

    They were words spoken when a team loses a game it should have won, and after blowing an 11-point halftime lead to the Magic yesterday at home, someone in the Celtics’ locker room said them.

To my mind, the most interesting flaw is the Colts’ lack of a running game, which ought to put to rest the old saw about how you win playoff games by running-and-stopping-the-run.

Mucci had a long history as a sales executive, and before co-founding SiCortex with Matt Reilly and Jud Leonard around 2003, had been a vice president at Thinking Machines Corporation, where he worked from 1986…

  • Bostonist Hides Sharp Objects After Howie Carr Agrees With Us

    That Bostonist found humor in the Scott Brown/Patrick Kennedy "joke" spat is no surprise. That Howie Carr's reaction to a fairly predictable development was similar to ours is disturbing. We feel the need for reflection, repentance, and possibly some self-flagellation. Hey, it worked for Pope John Paul II. Fortunately, Carr's complete lack of tact sent him well beyond where we had gone. We feel a bit better knowing that.

  • Scott Brown: 41st Vote or Campaign Prop?

    What kind of change does Scott Brown really represent? Senator Scott Brown is fond of saying he is the 41st vote. He's also an "independent voter and thinker," or so he says. Bostonist thinks you can't be independent and always be the 41st vote. Anyway... Senator Brown faces a test of his "independence" today with the looming confirmation of attorney Craig Becker to the National Labor Relations Board. Republicans, including Senator John McCain, who we'll get back to, can hold up this nominee now that Brown has replaced Ted Kennedy. The GOP, according to FoxNews.com, doesn't like an article…

Remember when Harvard dug that big hole in the ground that was supposed to become a new campus and Allston's rats relocated to, well, everywhere? Yeah, so where are all the dude-bros, meatheads, douchebags, brawlers, bimbos and tramps who hang out at the Kells going to go now? Batten down the hatches at your favorite watering hole, kids.

    Aphrodite didn't rise from the sea on a greasy rack of ribs. It was an iridescent scallop shell that cradled the Greek goddess of love, beauty, and sexuality, leaving us harboring hopes that we, too, could harness the mysterious powers of the sea to make ourselves equally irresistible. Eons later, we slurp down oysters and devour other delicacies of the sea, wondering whether there is some truth to the ancient Greek mythology that has caused us to pay homage to that goddess with the word...

Photos by Joel Veak Since catching on to the "locavore" craze, Bostonians have gone nuts for the fresh, seasonal produce, responsibly raised meat, and cage-free dairy products that spill bountifully from local and/or family-owned farms and dairies. Restaurants such as T.W. Food (377 Walden Street, Cambridge, 617.864.4745), Rialto (The Charles Hotel, 1 Bennett Street, Cambridge, 617.661.5050), and L'Espalier (774 Boylston Street, Boston, 617.262.3023) have made it...

Okay, so once or twice we've shown up to a morning meeting with five o'clock shadow (more like ten o'clock), a rumpled shirt, and a splitting hangover; it's not like it's our usual M.O.

My best friend from high school is in town today for 12 hours for a job interview. Yet another friend is in town on Thursday night. Sunday is Valentine’s Day/Chinese New Year. Also, I start an internship on Wednesday. Uh … yeah. This is the part where I log off and dutifully complete my self-imposed three-pages-a-day requirement.

I would just watch her. For like six weeks.” Why is love…

Casual sexual relationships dominate the dating scene, break-ups and heartbreaks abound, marriages dissolve, and young adults struggle to know where to learn the skills needed to build healthy, stable relationships.We recognize…

    There are some corners of Boston that I don’t often explore – they lie like stark question marks on MBTA maps with line colors and station names that are as exotic as Tosci’s curry apple ice cream. So when the literal fork in the road came up as Lipoff (of Chowhound contributor fame) steered the wheel of his Peugeot one Saturday afternooon, I decided to go with a bit of gritty urban color over a sweet suburban afternoon. Dorchester it was. Banh mi is like a cultural and historical study packaged as a sandwich and wrapped in French bread colonialism. It typically contains…

    Being the kind-of-poor college student I am, I’m a huge fan of cheap food. Really cheap food. Under ten dollars for dinner, say. But I am not a fan of really crappy food. Especially not bad sushi. It makes the sushi-lover inside of me cry. My only consolation was that my non-sushi-eating-friend thought it was reasonable, and was not turned off of the concept of sushi altogether. If only he knew the true joys of unagi! The sushi in question was found at Masa’s Sushi Bar in Porter Square Exchange Mall, replacing the old Kotobukiya Sushi Bar. There used to be a Kotobukiya grocery…

    Shifty eyes. I recently attended a shot drink tasting for bloggers at Market in Boston. Harlem, launched recently by the makers of Ketel One, is named for a town outside Amsterdam. It’s Kruiden-based – which is a special, mysterious blend of herbs by those crafty Dutch – and well, it’s awfully nice mixed with cola and/or something fruity. I’m a wuss. I am not the best judge of liquor, but I have to admit, Harlem is actually tasty – and a hell of a lot tastier than its point of comparison, Jagermeister.
