Top local executive: Fred Lay, president and founder
No. of employees: 13
No. of volunteers: 10
What is your corporate philanthropic mission statement?
CSI Cares: Community Activities to Rally our Employees to Serve. It is important for this company to build more than office buildings. It is important to this company and to its employees to build the relationships in the community and to stay grounded to the important needs of the community. A stronger community leads to a stronger economy in the community and leads to building a strong future for the community, the company, its employees and their families. The CSI Cares program keeps CSI of Tampa and its employees personally involved in the community. Through all of its employees, CSI is able to contribute over 1,200 hours of community service every year donated by Construction Services Inc. This equates to over $55,000 in labor costs.
Our team volunteers for Academy Prep, Goodwill’s Bookwork's program, A Kid's Place, the Crisis Center of Tampa Bay, Junior Achievement, Florida State Fair Skill-a-Thons, Joshua House, American Cancer Society, just to name a few.
Does your company have a budget for monetary and in-kind contributions?
We do not have a budget for monetary or in-kind donations. We feel it is important to not limit ourselves to a budget. CSI has increased its philanthropic and charitably contributions every year.
What are the company philanthropy goals, short term and long term?
Our goals long and short term are simple. Make a stronger community. A stronger community leads to a stronger economy in the community and leads to building a strong future for the community, the company, its employees and their families. Short term we want to keep doing what we are doing. Volunteering, giving monetary donations and time. We ask all our employees to understand that they have time, money and resources and we ask them to pick two to focus on. Long term, we feel that if we keep doing what are doing short term that the long-term plan of making this community a better place will happen all on its own. The only long-term item we strive for is to yearly do more than we did the year before.
How are your company's philanthropic efforts executed?
One example is A Kid's Place classroom expansion. After a company tour of BizTown, the employees were asking how we could help. Executive Director Richard George said there were a lot of things that needed to be done before the new school year. We compiled a list of repairs and wish list items and divided the list to tackle all the needs before school resumed.
With the entire team rallied around this project, all items were completed at no cost to Junior Achievement in time for the first busloads of kids to arrive. This type of project is common for the CSI team. We love to see a need and be able to execute solutions as a team.
How does your company measure the outcome of its philanthropic efforts?
We measure outcomes through smiles and tears of joy along with laughter. The most important way to measure the outcome is through the people receiving services, money or time. If we are not seeing smiles, laughter and tears of joy then we are not doing the right thing.


Property in Dubai
Major property deal worth signed at Ajman
A major real estate deal worth more than a billion dirham has been struck at Ajman, said a statement by the Plus Stock Exchange in London, which is one of the parties involved.
The Dubai-based Bonyan International Investment Group has sold out 67 plots out of the total 109 plots in its ‘Eye of Ajman Project’ worth Dh.3.5bn, to Prime Investments Group Limited.
Prime is a Cayman Island-incorporated company on the Plus Stock Exchange in London. The purchase is worth Dh.1.4bn for 67 plots, and has been fully settled by allotment of shares in Prime, said a company statement.
Being a master planned community, the Eye of Ajman is located at the junction of Emirates Road and Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Street in Ajman. It comprises 109 multi-use plots spanning total area of 2,258,197 square feet.
The plots will be so designed to take the shape of human eye, and will include hotels, schools, Mosque, health club, clinic, all amidst sprawling urban landscape.
The property prices in the emirate has dropped by 20percent this year, in comparison to last year, although the prices are likely to stabilize by next year, said Ajman Real Estate Regulatory Agency (ARRA) Executive Director, Al Faraj, during a recent interview.

Responses by Dainin Solis Collado.
Background: Azul Display is a typographic proposal inspired by Rubén Darío, the Nicaraguan poet who led the modernismo literary movement. Specifically, Azul Display is a concept aesthetically influenced by the ornamental details present in the uniform worn by Darío in front of the court of Alfonso XIII, King of Spain, in Madrid in 1908.
Based on a Roman structure with subtle alterations, the typeface is called Azul after Darío’s collection of short stories and poetry Azul…. The contrast between its lines, terminations and curves gives it a stately, classic appearance.
Design thinking: Since childhood, every Nica grows up learning and admiring the life and work of Darío, his prose and verses. Azul Display is my most humble tribute to this truly important figure in the history and culture of Nicaragua.
Challenges: This was my first time designing a typeface at this level—and in such a short time. It was a fast-paced, frenetic process, but ultimately it was fun and rewarding to see the result.
Favorite details: Of all the letterforms, my favorite is the lowercase a. I love its simplicity and its overall final shape.
New lessons: I learned to observe letterforms and grew amazed at how the smallest detail could have a huge impact on the final shape of a letter. A stressed vector handler, a poorly executed curve or an anchor point where it doesn’t belong, and the letter you’re building is perceived differently.
Visual influences: During the research and reference stages, I found, in the embroidery of Darío’s iconic ambassador suit, visually interesting ornaments that became the basis of elements for the construction of the letters’ shapes through a process of abstraction. The final result is a typeface with a classic base and a contemporary feel.
Time constraints: Azul Display was born as a result of “Typographic Design for Dummies,” an intensive workshop by designer and typographer Edwin Moreira. He challenged us to develop a typographic display project with a minimum of 36 glyphs in only six two-hour classes over five weeks. At the end of the workshop, I completed all the lowercase letters and a couple of key visuals for the type specimen, enough to see Azul Display in action. I was so enthusiastic with the result I obtained in a relatively short time that I decided to continue refining the project until I completed the rest of the characters: uppercase, numbers and some punctuation marks. I also designed complementary visuals and animations to enrich the graphic universe of Azul, building a robust case study for my portfolio.
Divergent paths: If I could start the project over, I would definitely educate myself more on the basics of type design. And I would work even longer on refining the base strokes and proportions of the letters until I got them right before developing all the other letters. I had to redo many of the letters a couple of times—a rookie move, you know, but you learn a lot from your mistakes.

The expression “hidden gem” is frequently applied to our local schools, with varying degrees of truth. On Wednesday, December 12th, PS 16 again proved worthy of that title at their most recent community service project.
Following the leadership of Principal Mary Renny, the school has amassed an impressive list of accomplishments, raising money for Ronald McDonald House, City Harvest, Penny Harvest, Pennies for Patients, Hurricane Sandy relief, Covenant House and to help send kids to school in Nepal, just to name a few.
Last January, the school began a crocheting club for its third, fourth and fifth graders. To encourage a community atmosphere, Principal Mary Renny invited kids, teachers and parents to join. Meetings grew from one hour to two and then three, Renny said (“nobody ever wants to go home), and as so often happens in the close-knit (pardon the pun) school, the talk turned to community service.
“We started making blankets and said ‘we’ll bring them to Woodhull for Mother’s Day,” said Renny. “When we came, we got such a good feeling. The kids loved it, the parents loved it and you could see how the hospital staff truly loved what we just did. We started crocheting like crazy to have enough blankets to come back for Christmas.”
On Wednesday, the school came back with 27 blankets for Woodhull’s neo-natal unit and stayed until all were distributed. As for the kids, “Oh my G-d, they’re thrilled,” said Renny. “They can’t stop talking about it. They tell anyone who will stop and listen.”
A large part of why this school has flown under the radar is because they generally eschew publicity. “We just want to do things for the community that are fun, and gets us all together,” explained the Principal. “We sit around and tell jokes [at the crocheting club], the parents are involved and we give back to the community.”
Renny is already yarn shopping for the club’s next project – wheelchair blankets for a VA hospital.

In a significant and somewhat surprising decision, the New York Court of Appeals recently held that, absent an express provision to the contrary, an individual lender in a syndicated loan is prohibited from enforcing its rights under the loan agreement or a related guaranty.
The case –– Beal Savings Bank v. Sommer, 2007 N.Y. Slip. Op. 02437 (N.Y. March 22, 2007) –– arose out of the bankruptcy of Aladdin Gaming, LLC (the “Borrower”). Originally, a group of 13 financial institutions advanced $410 million to the Borrower to develop the Aladdin Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. To support the loan, the Borrower’s sponsors executed a Keep- Well Agreement in favor of the lenders and their administrative agent pursuant to which the sponsors and one of the Borrower’s parent companies – the Sommer Trust (the “Trust”) – agreed to infuse additional equity into the Borrower if a specified financial ratio fell below a certain minimum. In addition, the Keep-Well Agreement required the sponsors and the Trust to guarantee payment of the loans in the event of their acceleration.
The Aladdin casino filed for bankruptcy shortly after 9/11 and, as a result, the maturity of the loans accelerated automatically. Subsequently, in September 2002, the administrative agent and 36 of the 37 members of the lending syndicate (which collectively held 95.5% of the outstanding loans) entered into a settlement agreement with the Trust and two sponsors. The settlement agreement, among other things, required the administrative agent to forbear from enforcing the Trust’s obligations under the Keep-Well Agreement. As consideration, the Trust (i) transferred to the administrative agent for the benefit of the lenders the Trust’s interest in a shopping mall, and (ii) agreed to facilitate the sale of the Borrower’s property. The settlement also provided for the distribution of $6.5 million in cash to the prepetition lenders (excluding the dissenting lender). The only lender that did not agree to the settlement – BFC Capital, Inc. – subsequently assigned its claim to Beal Savings Bank (“Beal”).
Approximately 2½ years later, Beal sued to enforce the Keep-Well Agreement. The Trust moved to dismiss Beal’s complaint on the ground that an individual member of the lending syndicate, such as Beal, could not enforce the loan documents in the event of a default; only the administrative agent acting at the direction of the required lenders (here, holders of 2/3 of the original principal amount of the loans) was empowered to enforce the agreements. Beal argued that, although the agreements authorized the administrative agent, under certain circumstances, to act on behalf of the lenders, the agreements did not preclude an individual lender from enforcing its rights. The New York State Supreme Court dismissed Beal’s complaint and the Appellate Division affirmed. Beal then appealed to the New York Court of Appeals, which also affirmed. Though it would seem axiomatic that a bank that makes a loan to a borrower and is not repaid is entitled to bring an action to get its money back, that was not permitted here. Why? According to New York’s highest court, if individual enforcement action is desired, the parties to the loan agreement must include an express provision that permits each lender individually to enforce its rights in the event of a default. The absence of such a provision from this particular loan agreement persuaded the Court that the lenders intended only to act collectively through the administrative agent. Thus, once 95.5% of the lenders signed the settlement agreement they bound the holdout minority (here, just a single lender) to the settlement, including its forbearance provisions.
As support, the Court focused on the various loan agreement provisions that require the approval of a super-majority prior to the administrative agent taking enforcement action and that refer to the lenders collectively, rather than individually.1 In particular, the Court focused on the section of the loan agreement that permits the administrative agent, upon the occurrence of an event of default, and upon the instruction of the holders of 2/3 of the original principal amount of the loans, to declare all loan amounts to be due and owing. This, the Court determined, evidences the parties’ agreement that enforcement action can only be taken collectively upon the direction of a 2/3 super-majority, and not individually.
The Court, however, seems to have confused the voting requirement necessary for acceleration with the ability of the lenders to take enforcement action once the debt has been accelerated. The former clearly required a 2/3 super-majority; the latter did not. Moreover, the Court seems to have ignored that Beal’s suit was against the Trust, as guarantor under the Keep- Well Agreement, not against the Borrower. The Keep-Well Agreement specifically provided that it shall be enforceable by the administrative agent “and each Lender and their respective successors, transferees and assigns.” The Court of Appeals overlooked this language.
It is unclear whether the Court of Appeals simply got it wrong, or, as the dissent puts it, reached a “pragmatically appealing result” because 36 of 37 institutions agreed to the settlement. What is clear, however, assuming this decision stands2, is that, under New York law, if individual enforcement action is desired, the loan agreements must expressly provide for it.

Seismic model to figure out internal functioning of Mount St. HelensFebruary 20th, 2008 - 4:32 pm ICT by admin
Washington, Feb 20 (ANI): Geophysicists have produced a new seismic model for figuring out whats going on inside Mount St. Helens, North Americas most active volcano.
The research, led by Gregory P. Waite, an assistant professor of geophysics at Michigan Technological University, would delve into the causes of the earthquakes that accompany the eruption of a volcano, thus helping scientists better assess the hazard of a violent explosion at Mount St. Helens and similar volcanoes.
When a volcano such as Mount St Helens erupts, it can cause a series of shallow, repetitive earthquakes at intervals so regular that theyve been called drumbeat earthquakes.
Until now, scientists generally believed that these earthquakes were caused by the jerky movements of a solid plug of molten rock traveling up from the volcanos core, a process known as the stick-slip model.
But, the modeling of seismic data collected by Waite and colleagues dispute that explanation.
The regularity and similarity of the shallow earthquakes seem consistent with a stick-slip model, said Waite.
Broadband measurements indicated that the energy is concentrated in a short bandwidthbetween 0.5 and 2 Hzand the earthquakes have nearly identical wave forms.
But this is not typical of a stick-slip event, said Waite. Rather, it suggests a source with a net volume change, such as a resonating fluid-filled crack, he added.
The fluid in the crack most likely is steam, derived from the magma and combined with water vaporized by the heat of the molten rock. A continuous supply of heat and fluid keeps the crack pressurized and the drumbeats beating, explained Waite.
The pressurized crack in our model is filled with steam that could conceivably drive a small explosive eruption if the pattern (of earthquakes) we observe is disturbed, he said.
Waites co-author, Chouet, who also works for the USGS, proposed a similar seismological model for volcanoes in Hawaii, where the lava is much more fluid and flows more easily.
But, this is the first time the model has been applied to volcanoes like Mount St. Helens, with slow-flowing, sticky lava. (ANI)

The Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) issued caution as it reported first quarter cash profit was up by a fifth on the back of above-peer growth in home and business loans
The Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) warned fierce competition in its key home loan market was hurting its margins “considerably”, triggering a big sell-off in one of the world’s most expensive banking stocks on Wednesday.
The country’s No. 1 lender issued the caution as it reported first quarter cash profit was up by a fifth on the back of above-peer growth in home and business loans.
CBA has outperformed its rivals over the past year thanks to its vast branch network and technology that has helped it take advantage of a strong property market and a softer-than-expected economic hit from the pandemic.
However, the quarterly update showed that revenues were flat and the bank’s net interest margin (NIM), a key measure of profitability, was considerably lower because of mortgage competition and a low interest rate environment. Fees were also lower, CBA said.
Shares in CBA, which had gained 34% over the past year to a record A$110.19 (US$80.33) on Nov. 8, dropped nearly a tenth to a near four-month low of A$98.75 (US$71.99) after the update, their sharpest decline since March 2020. On Wednesday afternoon, the stock was trading between 7% and 8% lower.
CBA has been priced to perfection, trading on a significant premium relative to its peers, and this trading update to me shows that the extent of that premium is not justified, said Azib Khan, a banking analyst at Morgans Financial.
He said: What we are seeing is a correction to that premium, which should take place.
CBA did not disclose specifics on the net interest margin. Morgans estimated it dropped nearly 14 basis points in the quarter, while Citigroup estimated it was in the low 1.90s, down from 2.04% in June.
All three of CBA’s “Big Four” peers – National Australia Bank, Westpac Banking Corp and Australia and New Zealand Banking Group – have said in recent weeks that intense competition would continue to put pressure on margins. The trio’s shares dropped on Wednesday by between 1.3% and 1.9%.
Today’s trading update highlights that even CBA’s strong franchise is not immune from the elevated margin pressures that appears to be particularly impacting the retail banks, Goldman Sachs banking analyst Andrew Lyons said in a client note.
CBA’s cash profit for the three months ending Sept. 30 rose to A$2.20 billion (US$1.60 billion) from A$1.80 billion (US$1.31 billion) reported last year.

Advice on avoiding mosquitoes has been the same for a long time: avoid dawn and dusk, still water, wear long sleeves and pants, and use scents like citronella. But science can add to your list of mosquito avoiding tools—although it may only be worth it if you live in an area with high West Nile Virus rates or you’re an outdoor enthusiast.
Besides wearing long sleeves, choose colors that blend in. Standing out marks you as human (i.e., delicious, delicious mosquito food).
Do you know your blood type? If you’re the rare type O, you’re mosquitoes favorite and are at an increased risk for getting bit. You can’t change your blood type, so be extra careful about following the basic rules to avoid mosquitoes. Type A is their least favorite.
If you’re warm and smell like CO2 (and other human excretions, like sweat) you’ll help mosquitoes and other pests find you. Try to not exercise during peak mosquito times, and if you’re a bigger person (with bigger lungs for exhaling) be extra careful about wearing long sleeves. A fire might help to confuse mosquitoes, just be sure to follow proper safety, and realize that when you walk away your body temperature will be warmer and you’ll be more visible to them.
For some reason, beer makes you extra tasty. Choose something else, or wait until after dusk to crack one.
Finally, having a diverse colony of skin bacteria deters bites. You can help diversify your skin bacteria with a probiotic.
Have you been able to avoid mosquitoes this summer?

Library of Congress
The Library of Congress is the national library of the United States and the
research arm of the United States Congress. It is the largest by shelf space
and one of the most important libraries in the world. Its collections include
more than 30 million catalogued books and other print materials in 470
languages; more than 58 million manuscripts; the largest rare book collection
in North America.
for more information
It includes over 1 million US Government publications; 1 million issues of
world newspapers spanning the past three centuries; 33,000 bound newspaper
volumes; 500,000 microfilm reels; over 6,000 comic book titles; the world's
largest collection of legal materials; films; 4.8 million maps; sheet music;
and 2.7 million sound recordings.
The Library of Congress was established on April 24, 1800, when President
John Adams signed an act of Congress providing for the transfer of the seat of
government from Philadelphia to the new capital city of Washington.
The original library was housed in the new Capitol building until August 1814,
when invading British troops set fire to the Capitol building, destroying the
contents of the small library (3,000 volumes).
Within a month, former President Thomas Jefferson offered his personal library
as a replacement. Jefferson had spent 50 years accumulating books, "putting by
everything which related to America, and indeed whatever was rare and valuable
in every science"; his library was considered to be one of the finest in the
United States. Jefferson, who was heavily indebted, sought to use the proceeds
of the sale of his books to satisfy his creditors. He anticipated controversy
over the nature of his collection, which included books in foreign languages
and volumes of philosophy, science, literature, and other topics not normally
viewed as part of a legislative library, such as cookbooks. To satisfy any
objections as to the suitability of his collection for Congress' use, he wrote,
"I do not know that it contains any branch of science which Congress would
wish to exclude from their collection; there is, in fact, no subject to
which a Member of Congress may not have occasion to refer."
In January 1815, Congress accepted Jefferson's offer, appropriating $23,950
for his 6,487 books, and the foundation was laid for a great national library.
The Jeffersonian concept of universality, the belief that all subjects are
important to the library of the American legislature, is the philosophy and
rationale behind the comprehensive collecting policies of todays Library of Congress.
The Library serves as a legal repository for copyright protection and copyright
registration, and as the base for the United States Copyright Office. Regardless
of whether they are seeking copyright, all publishers are required to submit two
copies of their copyrightable works to the Library - this requirement is known
as mandatory deposit. Parties wishing not to publish, need only submit one copy
of their work. Nearly 22,000 new items published in the U.S. arrive every business
day at the Library. Contrary to popular belief, however, the Library does not
retain all of these works in its permanent collection, although it does add an
average of 10,000 items per day. Rejected items are used in trades with other
libraries around the world, distributed to federal agencies, or donated to
schools, communities, and other organizations within the United States. As
is true of many similar libraries, the Library of Congress retains copies of
every publication in the English language which is deemed significant.

THIS ARTICLE IS MORE THAN FIVE YEARS OLD
This article is more than five years old. Autism research — and science in general — is constantly evolving, so older articles may contain information or theories that have been reevaluated since their original publication date.
Listen to this story:
For the past 20 years, my colleagues and I have run a social-skills group for children with autism, ages 5 to 18 years. Our program teaches the children how to recognize their own emotions, have conversations, solve problems and build genuine friendships.
About five years ago, some of those who had finished the program reached out to us for help navigating the adult world. They were concerned about the challenges involved in attending college, picking a career path, succeeding in the workplace, living independently and forming social and romantic relationships. There were few resources available to them.
Adults with autism report poorer social and vocational outcomes than any other disability group1,2. They often don’t earn a living wage, have a partner or family, or participate in the community. They also frequently contend with physical and mental health problems.
My colleagues and I wanted to help these young people. We created a curriculum for young adults with autism that helps them to better manage the stress and challenges associated with the transition to adulthood. It also teaches their parents and other helpers how to assist them in learning and implementing skills.
We first analyzed the literature on interventions used in adults with schizophrenia, who have similar problems adapting to the demands of adult life. Based on those, we developed a 20-week program for young adults with autism. The program combines an age-appropriate version of our social-skills curriculum with a unit called Functional Adaptive Skills Training, developed at the University of California, Los Angeles, that teaches social, organizational and other daily-living skills in a group format3.
Our pilot trial included 13 participants with autism aged 18 to 24, with no control group. Parents of the participants also met weekly to discuss their adult child’s difficulties and attended lectures about adult services. Our unpublished results suggest that the young adults and their parents had high levels of satisfaction with the training. The participants also reported an improvement in their planning and organizing skills, and some relief from depression.
My team and our collaborators have also developed a second-generation program that includes modules on handling stress and developing coping skills. The goal is to prevent young adults from avoiding situations — a behavior we believe accounts for the discouraging statistics on social and vocational outcomes.
Our 20-week program, ACCESS, includes groups for both young autistic adults and their ‘social coaches,’ such as parents and partners. The curricula and assignments are designed to give these dyads opportunities to interact in a mature, egalitarian and collaborative way.
Four introductory lessons teach foundational concepts, such as understanding different social circles, the idea that social behavior differs based on context and that adults relate to family members, friends and bosses in different ways. The lessons also include active listening and giving and receiving feedback.
The second module consists of six lessons that teach techniques based on principles of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for dealing with negative feelings and engaging in uncomfortable situations instead of avoiding them. The third module includes five lessons designed to help participants better understand and build relationships with friends and to clarify that the rules for relating to friends are different than those used when relating to a boss or parent, again using CBT techniques to engage instead of avoid.
The last four lessons center on the workplace. They focus on adopting a ‘can-do’ attitude, being aware of social circles involving colleagues and bosses, and giving and receiving feedback on the job. Participants also are required to have some form of paid or volunteer job, and to complete weekly assignments with their social coaches.
We conducted a trial of the program using participants on the waiting list as a control group. Our analysis included 41 people, aged 18 to 38 years, who have a verified autism diagnosis and an intelligence quotient greater than 704. Participants were randomized to our intervention or to a treatment-as-usual control group. People in the latter group received the intervention six months after the trial. We assessed participants and social coaches, using questionnaires to measure social and adaptive functioning, self-determination, self-efficacy and anxiety.
The results of the trial were modest but encouraging. Although participants did not report a decline in anxiety, their global adaptive functioning improved, according to their social coaches. The improvements were driven by gains in home living skills, such as taking responsibility for cleaning, property maintenance, food preparation and other household chores. The social coaches also reported improved communication and self-direction, as well as self-determination skills such as goal-setting, planning and self-advocacy.
The participants reported greater confidence in their ability to ask for social support from family, and even friends, in times of stress. As before, their satisfaction with the intervention was extremely high.
The trial taught us important lessons. First, although it is never too early to help people with autism develop the adaptive, social, vocational and self-determination skills they will need in adult life, some of these skills may need to be relearned at key transition periods. Many of our participants had been members of our child and adolescent social-skills groups, but they needed to learn to adapt the skills for adult contexts. Similarly, many of the parent social coaches remarked that as their children became young adults, they needed to retool their skills as advocates, given the dramatic changes to the service network.
Second, we found that 20 weeks is not enough to teach about adult life. We frequently joked that any group of lessons could be expanded into its own curriculum. Third, the participants reported that the most valuable components of the program are learning about the work environment, learning organizational skills and coming to appreciate how they engaged in distorted, and typically negative, thinking about their own strengths and challenges.
We also marveled at how the parents in our study navigated the balance between enabling independence and ensuring the safety of their adult children. For example, one of the parents in our group allowed her son to travel alone to New York City to visit a friend. This experience made him feel strong and independent and eased his depression. Helping parents safely allow their children to be more independent has the potential to be an important new area for research.
This year, we are continuing to offer the program on a fee-for-service basis. We hope to eventually write and publish a manual for an intervention that could be used more widely for young autistic adults anywhere.

genre: young adult historical fiction
As fourteen year old Joan imagines her future on the farm in Pennsylvania in 1911, all she can see is more backbreaking work without acknowledgement or affection. Intelligent and curious, she uses her diary as an outlet for her fears and ambitions as she decides that this sort of life isn't enough. As a seed of hope sprouts, Joan takes her life into her own hands and she dares to go out into the world to become a Hired Girl.
Set mostly in Baltimore, Joan's experiences in the city force her to grow up quickly. Aware of her own mind, Joan's thirst for knowledge leads to her own religious explorations while her desire to belong helps her to make a place for herself in a new household.
I really liked this diary-type novel. It's funny and heartbreaking, as Joan navigates a world she knows nothing about. I loved the religious interplay between the characters as well as Joan's first true romantic feelings, which felt dead on. The characters, the time and place, the plot - it all felt relevant and possible. Fun read.

Despite the fact vacancies have dropped in 2023 versus 2022, we see this as a temporary lull, as the attack vector is bigger than ever before. IT security vacancies are expected to total approximately 4,187 for the year, marking a 30.7% decrease from the 6,045 vacancies observed in 2022. Equally, at the same time, IT security has increased in share of all IT vacancies, from 4.1% last year, to 4.7%, making it one of the fastest-growing segments. This is according to the latest UK Technology Labour Market Trends report by Robert Walters and market data analysts Vacancysoft.
When examining the overall half-year totals for 2023, we can see a substantial 54.2% decrease when compared to the same period in 2022, where across all sectors, companies have been slowing down.
Despite the difficult economic climate, companies are still looking to hire exceptional software engineering talent and are prepared to pay a premium for those with the right background and knowledge of sought after programming languages. Nonetheless, 2023 is on track to have 55% less software engineering vacancies than last year, according to the latest Technology report by Robert Walters and labour market data analysts Vacancysoft.

Giant collider back in gear, sets record for collision intensity
On Nov. 30, the world’s largest scientific instrument, the Large Hadron Collider, set a record when it smashed one stream of protons against another and then accelerated the beams to 1.18 trillion electron volts, exceeding the record held by Fermilab in Illinois since 2001.
UW-Madison physics professor Wesley Smith heads a team that designed and built a major portion of the Compact Muon Solenoid — a giant particle detector built around a super-strong magnet. “You identify all the particles coming out, you identify all their energies, then add everything back up, and you have the complete picture of what happened in the collision,” says Smith. It’s a big job: The collider is expected to produce up to 600 million collisions per second.

Related story: Heart of the Matter, published in the Fall 2008 issue of On Wisconsin.
The restart is welcome news to a large team of physics professors, scientists and students at UW–Madison, who have been developing the collider’s technology and are ready to start a broad range of scientific experiments. “It’s a very exciting time,” says professor of physics Wesley Smith, who has been developing one of four mammoth particle detectors. “Although the first beams operated at low energy, they are teaching us a lot about the detector and its performance. It’s thrilling, after 15 years of effort, to see data coming from what was once just a design.”
“Everyone is very excited,” says Sau Lan Wu, a professor of physics who works on a detector called ATLAS. “We find that the ATLAS detector is checking out very well. Recently, our group met for six hours, and everybody was showing what they learned.”
Although the data contained nothing new, the success was welcome, coming as it did more than a year after an electrical malfunction derailed the collider’s initial startup. Experts are now gaining confidence that the long, expensive project will start producing scientific results in the winter.
UW-Madison physics professor Sau Lan Wu leads a group that helped develop ATLAS, one of the two main particle detectors at the Large Hadron Collider. Her quarry, the Higgs boson, is thought to explain why matter has mass.

The collider, operated by CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, spans the French-Swiss border and has become the world center for particle physics. The giant machine’s fundamental goal is to understand the physical world at the most basic level, and it could illuminate such subjects as multiple universes, dark matter and dark energy.
Smith says that when the collider’s 16-mile ring is operating at full strength of 7 trillion electron volts, each proton will carry as much energy as it would gain from passage through 1.17 trillion car batteries.
The collider is supposed to re-create the conditions found one billionth of a second after the big bang kick-started the universe 13.7 billion years ago.
Smith’s UW–Madison group helped design, install and test one of the four collider detectors, called the Compact Muon Solenoid, a 12,000-ton apparatus located 300 feet underground.
Inside each detector, the streams of protons are channeled into collisions that release stream of particles that will almost instantly be “seen” by tens of millions of individual detection elements. “When particles enter the detector, they better hit these elements in time,” Smith says. “It’s like being an orchestra conductor who is trying to conduct everything to within a few nanoseconds.”
Wu works on the ATLAS detector, which is 144 feet long and 72 feet high. ATLAS, the largest of the collider’s four detectors, registers data on about 100 million channels simultaneously. Part of her long effort on the collider has gone to developing software that will save interesting collisions for analysis and ignore almost all of the torrent of incoming data. Otherwise, the detector could fill 100,000 CDs per second.
Working with associate professor of physics Yibin Pan and assistant professor of physics Bruce Mellado, Wu is on the hunt for an elusive particle called the Higgs boson. “This is a missing link in the standard model of physics, which has been very successful in describing most of high energy physics,” she says.
In the standard model, the Higgs boson is introduced to explain why particles have mass. “We are still looking for this particle; the fact that you weigh so many pounds is due to the Higgs boson, which is the only piece of the standard model that remains to be found,” says Wu. “I have been preparing to look for Higgs since 1983. Some people think that it is more interesting if it is not found, but I disagree. I am confident that it will be found at the Large Hadron Collider.”
Smith, for his part, says physics wins either way. “In the unlikely case that we don’t find the Higgs, the basis of our understanding would be wrong, and we would learn a lot.”

Proudly Made in America American Flags near Old Town ME 04468
A nationwide sign that goes by the names “The Stars and Stripes”, “Old Glory”, as well as “The Star-Spangled Banner”, the American flag is one of the very identifiable symbols in the globe today. The American Flag is the 3rd oldest of the National Standards of the globe – older than the Union Jack of Britain or the Tricolor of France.
Who created the American Flag?
Based on popular legend, the very first American flag was created by Betsy Ross, a Philadelphia seamstress that was acquainted with George Washington. In May 1776, so the story goes, General Washington as well as two people from the Continental Congress visited Ross at her upholstery store and also revealed to her a rough layout of the flag. Washington originally favored using a star with six points, Ross advocated for a five-pointed star, which can be reduced with just one quick snip of the scissors, and also the gentlemen were won over. However, chroniclers have not had the ability to verify this version of occasions.
In those days, the flag was not the same as we recognize it today. The act stated, “Resolved, that the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternating red as well as white; that the Union be thirteen stars, white in a blue area, standing for a brand-new constellation.”
Exactly what does the American Flag represent?
The flag first rose over thirteen states along the Atlantic coast, with a population of some three million individuals. Today it flies over fifty states, expanding throughout the continent, as well as over great islands of the two oceans; and also hundreds owe it obligation. It has been given this honored position by love as well as sacrifice. Citizens have advanced it and heroes have actually died for it.
The flag includes 13 alternate red and also white horizontal stripes standing for the first thirteen British communities that proclaimed freedom from the Kingdom of Great Britain, as well as ended up being the first states in the US. A blue rectangular shape in the canton bears 50 little, white stars representing each state. The stars are set up in 9 horizontal rows offset of each other. This blue location of the flag is called the Union.
The symbolism of the Flag, as stated by Washington: “We take the stars from Heaven, the red from our mother country, separating it by white red stripes, hence showing that we have separated from her, and also the white stripes will drop to posterity standing for Liberty.”
It incarnates for all mankind the spirit of liberty and the remarkable belief of human freedom; not the liberty of unrestraint or the freedom of license, however a unique principle of equal opportunity for life, freedom and the pursuit of joy, guarded by the stern and also lofty concepts of responsibility, of integrity and of justice, and obtainable by obedience to self-imposed laws.
It embodies the essence of patriotism. Its spirit is the spirit of the American country. Its history is the history of the American individuals. Decorated on its folds in letters of living light are the names and popularity of our brave dead, the Fathers of the Republic who devoted after its altars their lives, their riches and their sacred honor. Twice told tales of national honor and also glory collection heavily about it. Ever before successful, it has emerged victorious from 8 excellent national conflicts. It flew at Saratog, at Yorktown, at Palo Alto, at Gettysburg, at Manila bay, at Chateau-Thierry, at Iwo Jima. It attests to the enormous development of our national limits, the development of our natural resources, and the fantastic framework of our civilization. It forecasts the triumph of popular federal government, of public and religious liberty and also of national sanctity throughout the globe.
Why is the American Flag essential to American community?
The American flag is essential due to the fact that it symbolizes the independent government as defined under the United States Constitution. Add to that, it likewise represents the background, beliefs and also values of its citizens. As a democratic country, its people abide by all-important values such as liberty, justice as well as equality. In addition, the flag likewise symbolizes the various accomplishments of the nation as well as the pride of its individuals.
This nationwide symbol advises individuals, not just in the Maine state, but throughout the entire USA regarding the different vital elements of the Declaration of Independence. It is a complex icon, which represents the freedom as well as legal rights of Americans. Floating from the soaring pinnacle of American optimism, it is a beacon of sustaining hope.
It is the indication made visible of the solid spirit that has actually brought liberty and success to the people of America. It is the flag of all us alike. Let us accord it honor and loyalty.
Where can I buy American Flags?
You probably already observed this, yet there are a lot of locations where you can obtain American flags. However, it is essential to keep in mind that the flag you’re wanting to buy should be “Made in USA”.
Based upon data, Americans spend over 5.3 million USD on imported flags each year – a lot of which are made in China. Perhaps much more disconcerting is that during 2001, in the wave of nationalism that washed over America after 9/11, Americans got $52 million dollars in imported flags. The flag must signify the blood, sweat, and tears of American men and women that brought this nation into existence, not our debt to China and the death of the American manufacturing field.
The flag signifies nationwide independence and popular sovereignty. It is not the flag of a reigning family or royal house, yet of the thousands free individuals welded right into a nation, one as well as inseparable, joined not only by community of interest, yet by important unity of view as well as objective; a nation differentiated for the clear specific perception of its people alike of their responsibilities and their opportunities, their obligations as well as their civil liberties.
So have a little pride, cough up a couple more dollars, and also purchase an American flag made by Americans in the USA.

MRF Racing contemplates racing series with JA Motorsport-designed two-seater racecar
We've all seen and heard of the twin-seat racecar that JA Motorsport designed a few years ago. Yes, that car that's used for taxi rides at racetracks where MRF Racing's events are held. Well, OVERDRIVE got to see that car in action at the season finale of the MRF Challenge, with Sachin Tendulkar getting behind the wheel of JA Inde 2.5 at the MMRT.
The Inde 2.5 racecar has taken a total of three years (and a few iterations) to reach this stage of completion. The machine is powered by a Ford 2.5-litre Duratec engine, that has a power output of 215PS at 6000rpm. All that power is sent to the rear wheels with the help of a 6-speed sequential gearbox with paddles. The company claims that the car can do 0 to 200kmph in 4 seconds. During testing, they have also managed to clock a laptime of 1min 39.00sec at the Chennai track.
JA Motorsport has also made other iterations of this sportscar that come with 1.6-litre, 2.0-litre (from Renault) and a 3.6-litre (from Ford) motors. While the final version has still not been decided, there have been a total of five different iterations built so far.
The suspension system includes double wish bones in the front and rear, with push rods and anti-roll bars. The braking is taken care of with front and rear ventilated AP racing disc brakes. The Inde 2.5 runs on the 200/540 R13 front and 240/570R13 rear OZ wheels and MRF slick tyres.
So where does the Inde 2.5 sit in the MRF Challenge? Arun Mammen, managing director, MRF india stated, "We have not taken an active decision on where we would like to position it. it might be an all-new class that will have corporate championships or a leisure race for the enthusiasts."
Meanwhile, J Anand said that various enthusiasts, basically exotic car owners, have been chasing him to get the Inde 2.5 on track. Will that happen sometime soon? Well, we'll have to wait and see.

Over the past few years, if you were into gambling and looking for an online casino in Singapore that is legal and trustworthy, you probably have been bombarded by ads of all kinds.
Although there are tons of sites out there that claim to be trusted online casinos in Singapore, not all of them could deliver what they promise. These deals continue to attract many people.
With so many alternatives, how can one be sure that they’re picking a legitimate casino out of all the rest? Here’s a guide to ensure that you win in life and place your bet on the right online casino in Singapore.
Choosing The Right Online Casino
In Singapore, there are a lot of things you should consider before you even sign up in an online casino. So, let’s get down to it and have a quick overview on the most important things you’ll need to make sure you choose the right online casino in Singapore.
If you’re looking for an online casino, this is the most crucial factor. This is why you want to ensure that your money as well as your personal data and information are protected.
So, ask yourself, “Is this online casino licensed? “You can be assured that the answer isn’t always easy to find. You’ll have to look up and a bit of research on the licensing body and find out if it is valid.
If you find that the licensing body isn’t valid, you need to move on. It is very important that all your data is safe at all times. Consider whether or if an online casino offers encryption and even audits on their site before you sign up.
Select A Game You Are Comfortable With
The online casinos are literally filled with slot games. If you’re looking to play slots only, make sure that the game is offered on the casino. You can make the selection by reading the online reviews to see what other players are saying about it as well. Take a look at the reviews and see how it turns out for yourself. Try another online casino if the game you’d like to play is not available.
Other than slot games, you may also try out live dealer table games. This category of games is very popular especially in the European countries. There are also different games offered in live dealer casino such as Blackjack, Roulette, Dragon Tiger, Sic Bo, Baccarat, Poker, and more. Some casinos offer more than a hundred kinds of games. These include table poker and dice games. However, if you want to know which online slot games are the most common in live casinos, this would be roulette and blackjack. These are the two most popular games.
Don’t forget to check out online fishing games too. An online fishing game, or online fish shooting arcade is also a very popular kind of game in Singapore. These games feature an environment in the deep ocean where you as a player to shoot down fishes to gain coins. The coins you earned via shooting are converted into real money in your gaming wallet.
Check Out the Bonuses and Promotions Offered by Online Casinos
In Singapore, there are a few online casinos that offer bonuses and promotions for all their players. Therefore, to maximize your funds, check out the promotions the online gambling platform has to offer. There are some bonuses that you may want to pay attention to. These include the following:
- Welcome Bonus – This is a welcome bonus for new players at an online casino. The welcome bonus normally has a maximum value of 100%, which means you can double your money by referring to the casino sportsbook and casino online.
- Reload Bonus – This type of bonus is for regular casino players, which means you will receive such bonuses for every time you reload your casino account. If you manage to use up your welcome bonus, then the reload bonus will make up for this.
- Free Spins Bonus – This is a type of bonus that will give you free spins on one or more of the casino games, so that you can try them out for free.
- No Deposit Bonus – This is a type of bonus that will give you a special amount of money to try out the casino games that are offered at the clubhouse.
Bet With Responsibility and Know When to Stop
The responsible gambling or self-exclusion code on the website of almost all the online casinos includes a link to the Gambling Help Online. This is a great place to get support and help if you have any sort of gambling related crisis. Just go here: https://www.gamblinghelponline.org.au/
While this is a great way to get help, you should also remember that gambling can be addictive and if you have become one, please do not hesitate to contact the helpline.
Mental support and other types of assistance are always available. They will not judge you, but they will offer the help necessary for you to recover and manage your gambling addiction. So, if you feel that you might be addicted to gambling, just give them a call, or visit their site.
If you’re reading this, it’s safe to assume that you’re already familiar with Singapore’s legal gaming scene. There are lots of showcases where people have earned millions in the online casino and we can confidently tell you, most of them are fake. This is because there are many scammers trying to get your life savings by seducing you via this fake news and luring you to deposit your money into their wallet.
Despite this, there are still a few reputable and legal internet casinos in Singapore that are available. One of the best examples we suggest to our readers is BK8 Singapore. They are one of the online gambling sites that has obtained several international gambling licenses which proves they are trusted and reliable.
We encourage you to join online casino, however, if you truly want to be a responsible gambler, you should know the laws and the rules of each kind of gambling. You should also be knowledgeable about the penalties for breaking the rules. No need to worry if you are convinced that gambling will not be an issue for you.

Walters School of Driver EdFAQ's
How do I know if Walters School of Driver Ed is certified by Pennsylvania's DMV to offer driver training courses?
While we do include Walters School of Driver Ed's contact information in our driving school directory, we cannot say with certainty as to whether Walters School of Driver Ed is licensed by the State of Pennsylvania. We recommend that you either contact Walters School of Driver Ed directly or possibly the Pennsylvania DMV to find out if Walters School of Driver Ed is a licensed driver training school.
Do you know if I can complete my driver training with my mother or father instead of attending a behind-the-wheel training course like the ones offered by Walters School of Driver Ed?

Roasted Smashed Potatoes
Ingredients9 h 30 m servings 138
- Place potatoes into a 5-quart stockpot and cover with 3 quarts of cold water. Add kosher salt and bring to a simmer over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently until potatoes are just tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and drain well. Let potatoes cool just until they're safe to handle.
- Transfer potatoes onto a sheet pan and continue cooling to room temperature. Make 4 or 5 shallow cuts down the sides of each potato, about every inch or so, to ensure the skin splits evenly when smashed. Refrigerate until completely chilled and ready to smash; 8 hours to overnight is best.
- Combine butter, sliced garlic, rosemary, and thyme in a small pan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until butter melts and begins to bubble, and garlic softens and starts to turn translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (232 degrees C). Line 2 metal baking sheets with silicone baking mats (such as Silpat(R)) and generously brush on some of the infused melted butter.
- Remove potatoes from the fridge and gently smash each between two pieces of plastic using a flat, heavy object until 1/2- to 3/4-inch thick. Season generously with salt, pepper, and cayenne on both sides, being careful not to break potatoes up into small pieces. Transfer onto a sheet pan, being careful not to overlap potatoes. Very generously drizzle and brush most of the melted butter on top.
- Bake potatoes in the preheated oven until well browned and crunchy around the edges, 35 to 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the pan with the remaining garlic and herb butter back over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring, until garlic starts to turn a very light golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and reserve.
- Carefully transfer potatoes onto a serving platter and scatter over the golden brown slices of garlic. Crumble the toasted herbs on top if desired. Serve immediately.

I've made this several times (even prior to Chef John posting it). This is one of my "go-to" recipes. Here are the two simple KEYS to this recipe turning out well: 1) DO NOT overcook you...
Smashing the potatoes was so much fun, that it's easy to get all the kids to help and keep distracted. I recommend adding sage to the butter if you have any. It was a hit for thanksgiving dinner.
My husband found this recipe on YouTube and made enough yummy noises that I decided to give it a try. I substituted a pinch of dried herbs for the fresh and cut back a bit of the salt. They were...
Turned out awesome. Followed directions and they were crispy and very flavorful.

The federal government, as you’re no doubt aware of by now, shut down last Friday night. The House of Representatives had passed a spending bill to keep the government open, but the Senate could not come to an agreement in time, although they did hold a vote on a spending measure. The Senate has still not come to an agreement as of Sunday, although they should hold another vote soon.
The differences between involved parties on how to best go forward didn’t go away once the government shutdown, and now, there’s been a perhaps surprising difference of opinion exposed between Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and the president himself.
McConnell and Trump have found themselves at odds in the past, most notably over the fate of the GOP’s efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Trump blamed the failure of those efforts on McConnell in a series of tweets, with the two of them eventually trying to downplay their feud by holding a joint press conference.
This time around, the two men differ in their opinions about employing the “nuclear option” as a way to move beyond the present budget stalemate that’s prompted the government to shut down.
Early Sunday, Trump tweeted a message reading:
‘Great to see how hard Republicans are fighting for our Military and Safety at the Border. The Dems just want illegal immigrants to pour into our nation unchecked. If stalemate continues, Republicans should go to 51% (Nuclear Option) and vote on real, long term budget, no C.R.’s!’
To begin with, no, Democrats do not just want undocumented immigrants to “pour into our nation unchecked.” Democrats wouldn’t support past GOP spending bills because they didn’t include protections for the hundreds of thousands of young undocumented immigrants currently in the U.S. These people had been protected by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program, but the Trump administration has moved to end that program.
There’s a significant difference between Democrats’ actual stance and what Trump is asserting that their stance is.
As for Trump’s proposal to use the “nuclear option” and make it so that only 51 votes are needed to pass a budget bill and not the present 60, the Senate has actually used such a tactic in the past, just not in the case of budget bills.
Early last year, the Senate changed the rules so that Trump Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch could be confirmed with only 51 votes.
This time around, however, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is not on board with the idea to again change Senate rules.
Reuters reports that, according to a spokesperson for the Senator, “The Republican Conference opposes changing the rules on legislation.”
It’s not even a given that Republicans would have the votes to pass spending legislation if they did change the rules, with a handful of Republicans having voted with the Democrats on the legislation that’s already been proposed.
A handful of Democrats voted with the Republicans, but not enough to put it over the edge.
Meanwhile, the Trump White House has proven as unhelpful as the president’s tweet suggests, with their major contribution so far to the negotiations being a statement calling Democrats “obstructionist losers.”

Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights via HeathcliffKate Bush's take on the novel is mentioned in an article on songs about he wilderness in The Guardian.
“Now Heathcliffe [sic] would return to Wuthering Heights, no longer a ward or servant of the manor, but a man risen in fortune. Let Catherine waste her affections on the puny Edgar Linton — Heathcliffe cared not! Nothing that God or Satan could inflict would make him yield to her! He had moved on. Good riddance to her. His heart was as cold as the stones on the moors.”
James Grainger, author of Harmless
Moving into slightly less innocent youth, it was also no coincidence that my interest in Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, with its frightening hand/branch tapping on the window and moorland passion of Catherine and Heathcliff, arrived at the same time discovering an early sexual awakening in the form of one Kate Bush. (Peter Kimpton)Slate considers that Naomi Novik's book Uprooted 'expertly mixes Katniss Everdeen and Jane Eyre'.
Writing fantasy isn’t easy whichever definition of the term you’re using. And Novik easily delivers several modes of wish-fulfillment through narrative here: One chapter after Agnieszka is granted the full Harry Potter/Katniss Everdeen experience, leaving her mundane life behind for the extraordinary, she’s immediately delivered into a Belle/Jane Eyre situation as she’s forced to share a nearly inescapable tower with the remote but broodily alluring Dragon. Despite finding evidence that the Dragon treated her predecessors as benignly neglected servants, Agnieszka quickly discovers that Sarkan’s interest in her is different: She has the gift of magic, making it his duty to train her as a wizard. (Mac Rogers)Indiewire lists the most romantic period movies, including Jane Eyre 2011:
If you like your 19th century romance darker than Jane Austen, try the 2011 film adaptation of Charlotte Brontë's gothic romance novel, "Jane Eyre." Directed by a pre-"True Detective" Cary Fukunaga and adapted for the screen by Moira Buffini, the film follows a young governess (the eponymous Jane) who embarks on a romance with her new employer, Mr. Rochester, before discovering his dark and potentially relationship-ending secret. What sets Fukunaga's vision of the oft-adapted story apart is the balancing act he performs between romance and horror. He's assisted greatly by costume designer Michael O'Connor, who won the film its only Academy Award, and cinematographer Adriano Goldman. The film toes the line between genres perfectly, giving equal focus to the romance between Mia Wasikowska's Jane and Michael Fassbender's Mr. Rochester and the more gothic elements of the story, such as Rochester's mentally ill first wife. Judi Dench and Jamie Bell co star in the film, which can best be summed up by Jane's line to Rochester. "Everything seems unreal," she says. "You, sir, the most phantom-like of all."The Detroit News' summer reading list includes
“The Language of Flowers” by Vanessa Diffenbaugh (Ballantine Books, 2012). A Jane Eyre-ish account of mothers and daughters, love and the secret significance of flowers. (Marney Rich Keenan)The Village Voice offers some background on writer Stephen Witt:
His father is a journalist, and his sister, Emily Witt, has a book about sex and technology forthcoming from FSG. ("We're like the Brontës," he says. "I'm Charlotte.") Witt had always harbored thoughts about writing himself. (Lara Zarum)My Digital FC wonders about favourite characters while Patheos's Eidos thanks 'Brontë and Montgomery for [his] Love Life'. E! Online features a Twitter account that matches photos of Harry Styles to books, including Wuthering Heights. Mountain View Mirror posts about Jane Eyre.


A three year starter for the Hawks, Woods as a sophomore was named honorable mention all District 10-4A but he along with the Hawks blew up in 2008. Austin who recorded 45 pancakes and graded out at 96% didn't allow a sack all season and helped Rockwall-Heath to a 13-1 mark advancing all the way to the Class 4A Division II State Quarter-Finals.
Woods who currently holds 14 offers is hesitant to list any favorites but it appears Baylor, Missouri, SMU, TCU, Texas A&M, Texas Tech and Oklahoma lead the way. All have offered Woods except for Oklahoma. Woods also holds offers from Arizona, Arkansas, Auburn, Kansas and Vanderbilt.
Austin has had a busy off-season attending junior days at Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Baylor, SMU and TCU. This summer Woods will attend three to four one day camps as well.
"I think my biggest strength is my agility and athletic ability, I played basketball up to last year and I think it really helped my footwork," said Woods who says he'd like to lower his forty time to under five seconds. As for a decision Austin says the ideal situation is to make a decision before the season starts, "I don't want to rush a decision but its important to make the decision as soon as I know."
As for 2009 despite the fact Rockwall-Heath graduated a senior class that included Kendial Lawrence, Austin Moss, Ryan Mosby and Drew Hollingshead, Austin is confident the Hawks will still be a contender. "We lost some great players but I think we've got a good group of young players and I think we've got what it takes to go a long way."
