„Er wird in Udine sein neues Glück versuchen“, sagte am Mittwoch auch Trainer Ottmar Hitzfeld, in dessen Planungen Jancker nicht mehr die Rolle spielte, wie in den vergangenen Jahren. Und Thorsten Fink fügte hinzu: „Ich hoffe, dass er sich durchsetzt und viele, viele Tore schießt.“

dear ad: the only thing you can probably prove is that stupidity/gullibility varies directly with height. =)
no wait.....pple who are 188 are not gullible nor stupid.
alright. it's a straight line graph (with a positive gradient) up till 187.5=) (after which it'll be at a low low constant level of....0.5?)

Kahns Handschuhe in Brasilien aufgetaucht

Oliver Kahn wird die "Unglücksbringer" wahrscheinlich gar nicht vermissen, aber immerhin ist das Geheimnis um seine verschwundenen WM-Handschuhe nun gelüftet.

Ein braslianischer Fan namens Anibal Pereira hatte sich die achtlos weggeworfenen Handschuhe im allgemeinen Durcheinander nach dem Finale in Yokohama geschnappt und präsentierte sie nun in der Heimat den Medien. Auch die spanische Zeitung Marca bildete den stolzen "Räuber" samt der weiß-blauen Handschuhe mit der Originalaufschrift "Oliver Kahn" ab.

Pereira will das wertvolle Souvenir so leicht nicht wieder hergeben. "Ich will sie behalten. Wenn jemand allerdings 200.000 Dollar bietet, kann ich sie auch verkaufen", sagte der 39-Jährige. Keiner habe bemerkt, wie er aufs Spielfeld gerannt sei und die Handschuhe mitgenommen habe. "Einer hing im Netz, der andere lag auf dem Boden." Oliver Kahn wird den Verlust verschmerzen können. Immerhin war ihm mit den Handschuhen vor dem 1:0 durch Ronaldo der erste Fehler des ganzen WM-Turniers unterlaufen.

Why Should You Study German?
by Brian Zahn

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just got back from a Goethe Institut workshop and there was brochure there titled "Go Global - Select German" Here is some information from the brochure: (some info paraphrased)


Learning German helps students get better SAT and ACT scores At the University of California, more majors require the study of German than other langauges (German 56 majors, French 43 majors, Spanish 21 majors, Japanese 7 majors)

Among many academic programs requiring or recommending German are: anatomy, art history, biochemistry, biology, biomedical physics, botany, chemistry, design, engineering, film studies, genetics, linguistics, logic and mthodology of science, molecular biology, music, near eastern studies, philosophy, physical science, physics, physiology, religious studies, zoology

German is a key language in the European Union and in the rapidly growing markets of Central and Eastern Europe

Germany is America's largest European trading partner with more than 750 major American firms doing business in Germany

1100 German companies do business in the US

More than 25% of all foreign tourists visiting the US come from German-speaking countries, spending more than $37 billinon annually around the world

In a 1994 survey conducted by the German-American Chamber of Commerce, 65% of all respondents stated they were looking specifically for German/English bilingual skills

German companies in the US pay German-speaking employees premium salaries

The German speaking countries are among the most popular destintations for American travellers

Many people don't realize that German is the most widely spoken language in Europe

American history has been shaped by Germans (General Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben, Carl Schurz, Heinrich Steinway, Johann August Roebling, Levi Strauss)
Julie Baird

Full Text: COPYRIGHT 1997 The European Ltd.
WILLY BRANDT, the former German chancellor, once said: "If I'm selling to you, I speak your language. If I'm buying, dann müssen Sie Deutsch sprechen."
Hank Schwab, Indianapolis, IN



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NONE of the G7 (8) countries speak Spanish. While they are BOTH important world languages, an enormous amount of material is made available first and sometimes only in German in academic fields such as banking, engineering, the sciences, ANY humanities field, medicine, social sciences, etc. German companies and research institutions are world leaders in many of these areas. (Try to think of the name of a Spanish-speaking multinational with representation in the US - then think of a German one - it's easy...VW, Mercedes, BMW, Bayer, Adidas, BASF, Mentos (!), etc.) In the US when you talk good-paying jobs and $$$ people listen. The world is only going to get smaller and German is NOT just a regional language with cute Volkslieder.
Tim Madler



wow. Mentos!!

Kahn lands Golden Ball award

Germany captain Oliver Kahn today became the first goalkeeper to win the Golden Ball as the World Cup's best player.
The 33-year-old was given the award despite being at fault for Brazil's first goal in Sunday's World Cup final, which Germany lost 2-0.
His contribution in helping Germany into the final has been widely applauded, with most making him their top goalkeeper of the tournament.
But the Golden Ball success comes as a surprise, given that Brazil's Ronaldo scored eight goals including both in the final, while Rivaldo also shone with five goals for the new world champions.
The award is voted for by members of the media at the World Cup, with Kahn pulling in 25 per cent of votes, Ronaldo second and claiming the Silver Ball with 21 per cent, while South Korea's Hong Myung-bo surprisingly came third with 18 per cent to take the Bronze Ball.
Full list of results:
1: Oliver Kahn (Germany) 147 votes - 25 per cent
2: Ronaldo (Brazil) 126 votes - 21 per cent
3: Hong Myung Bo (Korea) 108 votes - 18 per cent
4: Rivaldo (Brazil) 93 votes - 16 per cent
5: Ronaldinho (Brazil) 54 votes - 9 per cent
6: Hasan Sas (Turkey) 26 votes - 4 per cent
7: El Hadji Diouf (Senegal) 15 votes - 3 per cent
8: Roberto Carlos (Brazil) 12 votes - 2 per cent
9: Michael Ballack (Germany) 6 votes - 1 per cent
10: Fernando Hierro (Spain) 5 votes - 1 per cent
