If 40 pages of statistics, tables, graphs, and economic analysis could generate any buzz at all, the state’s release of its report on long-term fiscal policy would have garnered front-page headlines. Indeed, it should have, for this may be the first time ever a governor has asked for a five-year budget plan anticipating future revenues […]

One of Massachusetts’ public high schools has a 97 percent graduation rate and a dropout rate of less than .02 percent (3 out of 1,323 students).  It ranks among the highest percentage of students scoring advanced or proficient in the 2011 MCAS assessments (97% in Language Skills; 85% in Math; and 91% in Science.)  The school valedictorian […]

Veteran video game designer Aubrey Hodges says the best work he ever did was for 38 Studios LLC’s Project Copernicus, Curt Schilling’s ambitious effort to develop the next blockbuster game. “It looked stunning. It sounded great. That’s the heartbreak,” said Hodges, a former audio director at 38 Studios.

When Phillip Phillips won “American Idol” last Wednesday night, a team of researchers from Northeastern University was not surprised. The scientists had risen early that morning to analyze about 100,000 messages posted overnight on the social network Twitter and made the prediction that despite his competitor’s greater worldwide support, the eligible population — residents of […]

As an alternative to receiving brain implants for robotic arm dominance assistance, check out this surprisingly cheap eye-tracking solution developed by six electrical engineering students at Northeastern University. Labeled iCRAFT, for eye Con­trolled Robotic Arm Feeding Tech­nology, the award-winning senior project drew its inspiration from one team member’s difficulty syncing spoonfuls with the eating pace of elderly and disabled patients.

Etan Patz’s disappearance haunted his family for decades. The arrest Thursday of a man who reportedly confessed to killing the 6-year-old back in 1979 may finally end their uncertainty.
