    Wonder what happened to the push for rural philanthropy? It has long been a truism that foundations follow election results. How could they not? On November 6th, the majority of voters in rural America cast their ballot for former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. Rural voters accounted for only 14 percent of the electorate but favored Romney with 61 percent of their votes. That showing obviously doesn’t reflect how the overall election results turned out, so what’s the upshot?

    There is nothing new, of course, about paying attention to customer needs and desires, but there is now far more data available undefined far less expensively undefined through Web analytics and customer-loyalty programs. Using basic e-commerce software along with free tools like Google Analytics and Bing Webmaster Tools, small businesses can perform sophisticated data collection and analysis that can help them compete with companies that have far greater resources.

    Despite Massachusetts’ historic leadership on pay equity ­— in 1945 it became the first state to require equal pay for comparable work —­ the gap between men’s and women’s salaries here is now among the biggest in the country.

    There are still a whole lot of foreclosed houses out there. You would think that means it's a great time for first-time buyers to purchase a house. But that's not the case: One reason, private equity firms are buying up huge numbers of single-family houses. Wall Street wants to turn them into rentals.
