Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The near collapse of the auto industry in Michigan along with limited production of pharmaceuticals has brought a number of communities to a standstill and left them with the need to survive in the face of paralyzing factors. Many academics believe that the nation is at the edge of a "New Economy" . The new economy theory suggests that the old economy based on manufacturing is no longer viable and therefore communities should move towards a knowledge-based economy and attracting talents. This thesis assesses the feasibility and applicability of the new economy theory to the economic development of small and mid-sized communities in Michigan. Using economic composition analysis and a case study of Kalamazoo, MI the thesis finds that the economy has only slightly shifted and remains strong in industries that were developed in the old economy. For small and mid-sized communities the importance of developing feasible economic development strategies can project economic stability for the future. The research provides an example for doing so through the economic history of Kalamazoo, MI and provides the preliminary framework to study strategies for other communities.

Book excerpt: Perhaps you thought it was fantasy. Perhaps you thought it was a ruse. Perhaps you thought it was the actions of an immature heart and love that had yet to be "educated" by reality. Wrong! Actually your first answer was right. Now you have to be unschooled and learn love all over again, and you might want to start here at that foundation of love. But you forgot, after all it only lasted a couple of seconds, a couple of days and then that place that those eyes took you disappeared like a mirage. You no longer have what it takes to graduate to love's stage seven. Don't worry, Illuminations will take you back. If infatuation is oft the cornerstone with which we set the foundation of love, why do we throw away that foundation when we build the school of our convictions as to what love is? But remember when we thought a love was perfect and we thought that love was supreme? Remember when we thought love would find ourselves in a perfect plot and we could reside there forever? Remember when love was the most beautiful thing in existence and so was our love? Might I ask, what is wrong with that? And if there is nothing wrong with that, why isn't it considered right? If the school of love in which the world learns fails, and we are unable to graduate to love's better vision. If indeed, we fail to take our love to a higher grade, perhaps we aught to find a better school. Love instinctively knows better, and the new foundation upon which love will be reschooled goes back to our original convictions when we thought love was perfect, that love was supreme, that love would deliver and that love is perfect. There is a reason for that original conviction and it is because, love is.
