Research has shown that older adults display more positive emotions and are quicker to regulate out of negative emotional states than their younger peers. Given the declines in cognitive functioning and physical health that tend to come with age, we might expect that age would be associated with worse moods, not better ones. So what […]

Northeastern’s Griffin set to mount a comeback. It’s been two years since Devin Griffin last set foot on the soccer pitch for Northeastern University. Her life has changed dramatically since that time.

In this, the fifth year of the APSE Scholarships, there was one thing the committee could agree on: This was the best group of writers who have ever applied. It made the decision difficult and many of the candidates would have been winners in past years. The winners are an outstanding foursome who all have […]

The signs of how Wade Michael Page’s story would end seem so obvious now. He had flaunted his feelings of hate through his words on white supremacist websites; through his music in a neo-Nazi punk rock band; and even through the tattoos he had drilled deep into the very pores of his body.

WORCESTER — It should really come as no surprise that Dylan Mayerchak wants to make a career out of designing digital games.

Jessica Yamane’s quest for details of an Augusta man’s suspicious death 64 years ago is like piecing together fragments from a long-forgotten puzzle. “At this point, county and medical records have all gone dry,” said the Northeastern University law school student, whose project focuses on the 1948 death of Richmond County Stockade inmate Ike Crawford.

It’s a fairly menacing sight, an aluminum robot sporting big tank treads — that is, until you watch one of its creators do a handstand on top of the thing in a pair of cargo shorts. And really, while the ‘bot wouldn’t look too out of place with a small machine gun strapped to its […]

If Bedford’s Sean and Connor Lyons had patrolled the outfield for him at Nashua High South rather than against him for Trinity of Manchester, B.J. Neverett might have deployed an unorthodox defense. “I always said Trinity should have gone with two outfielders and then used five infielders,” Neverett said last week. “(The Lyonses) could do […]
