Due to the super awesome economy many universities are on a hire freeze... over half the places that I applied canceled their searches. It's unclear if that kind of activity is going to continue (almost for sure for the next few years at least) or even get worse (very likely).

The other potential option (although i'm not as far in the process with them) is with a school in Miami. Which is a beat in so many of the exact opposite ways for a family with two little kids... though I expect all with all the young ballas on here it'd be an ldorrrrrrrr BIENVENIDOS A MIAMI...
