Attracting and Evaluating Direct Foreign Investment: Part 1
This series of articles is based on a term paper I did in graduate school for an class about development in third world countries. Because much of Louisiana is still grappling with the same basic development issues as many third world countries, I took this class to get information to help my own state often referred to as the U.S.'s "Banana Republic." While the state legislature and state government economic development staff work on programs to improve Louisiana's economic climate, this series of four articles will serve as a "toolkit" for local officials and planners working to leave an important historical legacy in their localitites. While the main goal of this topic is history, I believe that the study of history is about more than just studying the past, but is also about making a better future!

Two Headed American Storytelling (Part II of II)
After the postwar period and its preoccupation with racial differences, Topsy-Turvy dolls again went through a redefinition in purpose and design. The polarized black and white upside down dolls gave way around the 1930s and 40s to storybook character dolls that focused on other types of metamorphosis. Doll making became part of an initiative to help economically deprived families in states like North Carolina, Kentucky, and West Virginia out of dire straits and into sustainable self-sufficiency.
