In a roof garden interview with CNBC Senior Economics Reporter Steve Liesman earlier this summer, Federal Reserve Bank of Boston President Eric Rosengren touched upon a number of topics, including fiscal austerity in the U.S., unemployment, regulatory reform and core inflation, among other issues.

A century ago, islanders could travel from the harbor to Siasconset via the dearly departed Nantucket Railroad, a privately funded enterprise that operated—in fits and starts, but mostly fits—from 1881-1918.

From La Jolla to Mission Valley, word around these parts was that the Patriots wouldn’t pose a problem to the schizophrenic Chargers, who handled the Kansas City Chefs with ease a week earlier.

Fortunately, Joe Rizzo, M.D., of Mass. Eye and Ear was able to explain the science behind #TheDress to WBZ-TV and National Geographic.

The regular-season finale between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants was like an episode of Unsolved Mysteries. One peek at the Giants Stadium sidelines produced no glimpse of Robert Stack wearing headphones, yet the Saturday-afternoon game – a 23-22 New England victory – still had a surreal air about it.

Every generation has its Gold Rush. For Generation X, it was the Tech Boom. For Millennials, it might just be the Big Data Revolution. Instead of pickaxes and pans, though, today’s data miners will use science and software to unearth 21st century gold – keen business intelligence.

Despite his Harvard pedigree, Bruins defenseman Don Sweeney has embraced the organization’s lunch pail approach to the game, suiting up for 793 games and counting. Among active Bruins, Sweeney trails only the Pan-like Bourque, who is approaching 1,500 games played.

Professor Rich Melloni and grad assistant Jill Grimes have linked chronic steroid abuse with overly aggressive behavior in steroid-treated adolescent male Syrian hamsters. According to their most recent research, which was published in the October 2001 issue of "Pharmacology, Biochemistry and Behavior," the aggression is caused, in part, by below-average amounts of serotonin, a brain neurochemical associated with impulse control.

Working closely with Bentley University's Cronin Office of International Education and graphic design colleagues, I developed the concept and copy for a series of posters aimed at collecting photos of Bentley students near world-famous landmarks for use in advertising and marketing efforts.
