...Local"-you see the decal in the store window, the sign at the farmer's market, the bright, cheerful logos for Local First Arizona, Think Boise First, Our Milwaukee, and homegrown versions across the states.

A number of researchers and organizations are taking a closer look at how money flows, and what they're finding shows the profound economic impact of keeping money in town...

But as Brian Ward's 11-day job search makes clear, they can go a long way to help. Here...

Seizing the window of publicity that had been generated, students came forward to allege the attacks were hardly isolated incidents, but a regular feature of student life. Student leaders said this kind of violence racially motivated and had not been properly addressed by government authorities such as police and politicians. "There's a name for them: 'curry bashing' ... 'Let's go curry bashing'," Yadu Singh, a Sydney-based Indian-born cardiologist told the Sydney Morning Herald. "They are not random...
