I am looking for a University of Scouting program in Vermont for 2007/2008. Last year (2006) I see that one was scheduled at Norwich University in March: http://www.scoutingvermont.org/training/university/courses.html

Does anyone know if the same program will be offered again?

Let me begin by saying I think he was a great player and that all the evidence suggest he is arguably the finest defensive right fielder of all time.
But I have read and heard people suggest that he was the finest right fielder overall of his day or even of all time. Have they forgotten about Aaron and Frank Robinson (or Mel Ott or Babe Ruth)? Some people said it was an outrage that he was left off the all-century team.
But he is not in the top 100 all-time in on-base percentage or slugging average or home runs or OPS or OPS+…he is #66 in Runs Created, #78 in runs scored, and #38 in total bases.
Several right fielders place much higher.

And don’t forget that these guys were not defensive slouches, either. But even a great right fielder only saves a handful of runs a year compared to an average one.

A great player, yes, and certainly worthy of the Hall of Fame. He might have been an even better man off the field.

But I think his playing has been over-rated.

I have naturally red hair and have had it dyed a golden blonde colour at the hairdressers recently, but cannot afford to go back to have it done there again. Also, they did a bad job of it anyway as the hair was khaki at first before going a nice colour after about 1 and a half weeks. I have tried to just pre-lighten the roots (the kit does include bleach) and then applied Loreal Castings Golden Blonde over my whole head of hair but the roots are a different colour to the rest of my hair. If I bought more Loreal castings Golden Blonde (it is a semi-permanent dye) and applied again approx 1 to 2 weeks later will it hide the roots? I did pre-lighten till yellowey colour but the dye on the roots has gone a darker colour than the rest of my hair and has some reddish colour to it a bit aswell. Thought it may be because I have dyed over the pre-lightened bit but just 1 day later that it hasn't taken as well as on the rest. I live in England.

This is not homework just out of general intrest.
I figured a cirle is just a shape with a constant radius and a side that is always perpendicular to its centre. So i figured you could break it down into tiny triangles and take the sum of the infinatly small integrals, ie integrate. But i am integrating 1/2 f(x) .dx And thats clearly not going to get the answer.
It seems logical in my head but it doesnt take into account pi, so if its the wrong approach how do you derive the area of a circle.

I just opened a half used gallon of white primer/sealer to find small spots of mold on the top. If I get rid of the mold, will the primer still be good? Will it still end up white or should I just toss it? Thanks.

I am girl, 15. Still my mom treats me like a small girl. It is true that she loves me a lot. But the issue is too much love and care, that I feel I am too much pampered than what a 15 years grown up girl actually needs. Some times it hurts my freedom too, but still I do not say any thing because mom things that I am still a small girl. When I go to kitchen, mom will be behind. When I go for shopping, dad or mom will be with me. Though I feel proud for them, I have started longing for a little more freedom.

How to tell my mom & dad about this, with out hurting them?

With all the silence and secrecy in the community surrounding Rhys Jone's murder (and others like damilola taylor) have you ever wondered where the anti-police attitudes come from?

In my job, I see families daily who encourage their children to hate the police and if the police have occasion to knock on the door they are abused by parents and kids alike.

Is it any wonder that young people get into trouble when their parents let them believe they are above the law?

(I am not saying all parents and young people are like this)

What advert were the quotes "I can see a puffin" and "I'm doin it! I'm doing it now!" from? The quotes were exclaimed in a broad Welsh accent.

I think it was a radio advert aired in the UK. Can't remember the company or product though!

Can anyone help?!
