A Question of Freedom
A unique prison narrative that testifies to the power of books to transform a young man's life At the age of sixteen, R. Dwayne Betts-a good student from a lower- middle-class family-carjacked a man with a friend. He had never held a gun before, but within a matter of minutes he had committed six felonies. In Virginia, carjacking is a "certifiable" offense, meaning that Betts would be treated as an adult under state law. A bright young kid, he served his nine-year sentence as part of the adult population in some of the worst prisons in the state. A Question of Freedom chronicles Betts's years in prison, reflecting back on his crime and looking ahead to how his experiences and the books he discovered while incarcerated would define him.

Confined by cinder-block walls and barbed wire, he discovers the power of language through books, poetry, and his own pen. Above all, A Question of Freedom is about a quest for identity-one that guarantees Betts's survival in a hostile environment and that incorporates an understanding of how his own past led to the moment of his crime.

Stressed Skin Panels
A stressed skin panel is an engineered, prebuilt component consisting of a frame of dimensional lumber, to which top and bottom flanges of plywood or other panel material are structurally glued. Flanges are traditionally made of Douglas fir, but if made of Alberta spruce plywood and oriented strandboard(OSB), could provide new markets for Alberta. Twenty-four stressed skin panels were designed, constructed and tested: 6 with flanges of Douglas-fir plywood, 6 with flanges of Alberta spruce plywood, and 12 with flanges of OSB. Half were tested to verify that established engineering design theories hold for stressed skin panels made with OSB and spruce plywood flanges, and the other half were tested to study the effect of sustained loading (1000 day duration) on stressed skin panels made with OSB and spruce plywood flanges.
