is there any program similar to the huntsman program (at upenn wharton) at any other university (preferably at indiana university, emory, or university of michigan)?

Would it be possible to construct a program at indiana, emory, or umich similar to huntsman? how would I go about doing so?

Okay, so I did my math homework, and I end up getting a radius of 8.9 and a height of 28. So I'm good with the math. I want to know wether to right the dimensions like this:

radius x height

or

height x radius.

Or does it really matter? (I'm pretty sure it does.)

My teacher is picky, so I need to get it right. Thanks!

My 38 month old finally finished his evaluations brought on by speech delays and is functioning at the level of 24-26 months in speech, motor skills, social, etc basically everything. THe only thing on schedule was his actual understanding. He is having behavior problems and after failing his vision test several times because he can't name colors consistently they are questioning whether he is color blind. He will be starting in a special needs preschool in january through the school system. However after searching around online I am becoming somewhat concerned that it may actually be a genetic disorder. He has a majority of the characteristics of Soto's syndrome as well as some other similar disorders now a huge deal except we just had a second child. I was wondering if there were any other common things that could cause this delay and what type of effect early intervention has had for any other parents with children experiencing delays in multiple areas.

the way i understand it is that an academic is a lecturer/university professor

my friend however said that even a university student can be called an 'academic'

is this true?

My 5 year old is in kindergarten right now and i have had enough with his school. When my son was a baby, he had numerous ear infections for years. For the longest time, his hearing was like hearing under water. When he started preschool, it seemed like things were finally getting better. He started talking a lot better, with help of speech therapy. He learned his alphabet and numbers. Unfortunately, when we moved to a new city and he started kindergarten, things seemed to get worse. Even though he seems fine at home when we read books, count, etc, his teacher seems to see things in a different light. She says that my son knows nothing, even things that he has known since preschool. I don't trust his teacher at all. I just had a meeting at his school and they talked about my child like his was dumb. I know that he is not. I am considering homeschooling. My husband and I are tired of all the crap. I think he would benefit better one on one. We live in Southern NJ. What should I do?

The question I was given for my research paper was:
What do Cora and Alice suggest about the standards for womanhood developing in American culture as contrasted with those of European women?


I was thinking about talking about how Cora (being of partially of african descent / strong-headed = American view of womanhood) and Alice (being of mainly caucasian descent/ frail, timid = European view of womanhood)...but its really confusing to word all of it into a coherent, understandable thesis statement...and I'm not sure if I'm completely answering the question I was given.
Any help is great :-) thanks
