Curt Schilling took a few minutes from his characteristically intense preparation for the launch of 38 Studios' first release, “Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning” to have a rapid-fire conversation with us about his company, gaming and, of course, politics.

Want something to do on the big day before the big game? There are all sorts of activities, both Super Bowl-related and not. Here’s a sample:

Senate President Therese Murray lobbed a grenade Tuesday at Gov. Deval Patrick’s plan to more closely coordinate the state’s 15 community colleges, suggesting the proposal could lead to Boston bureaucrats setting agendas for campuses all over the state.

A group advocating for public transit in Massachusetts lashed out at Transportation Secretary Richard Davey on Monday for what it called a “false choice” he has laid out between “draconian” service cuts and fare hikes to help balance the MBTA’s books.

"Two weeks after dropping him off at school, our son was doing just fine, but I wasn’t. One day, I even drove into Boston to make sure he had a rain jacket.

As part of Medfield Reads' exploration of endangered language come watch this this award-winning film about efforts to save the language and culture of the Wampanoag right here in Eastern Massachusetts.

We Still Live Here — Âs Nutayuneân tells the amazing story of the return of the Wampanoag language, a Native American language silenced for more than a century. The Wampanoag Indians’ forebears ensured the survival of the first English settlers in New England, the ‘Pilgrims,’ and lived to regret it. A century ago, after nearly 300 years of contact, their language virtually disappeared.

Town and city leaders can expect a boost of $145 million in school aid and level funding for the other main source of state aid to municipalities under Gov. Deval Patrick’s fiscal 2013 budget proposal.

When Laurie Nealon heard from a friend that other towns have non-profit organizations that help community members in temporary crises, she thought Medfield could benefit from such a program.

Along with Kathleen Cahill, Nealon founded the Medfield Angels in March 2010 — a non-profit organization that provides care and comfort to families in temporary crisis.
