"Doutzen Kroes poster girl for Frisian language" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-12-19 16:34:01 |
known as a L’Oréal and Victoria’s Secret model has been asked to use her pretty face to alter the even more attractive.
The 22-year-old top model will be playing a study role in the race ‘Praat mar Frysk’ (roughly. ‘Just speak Frisian’) for the province of Friesland which will be launched next week in Tytsjerksteradiel according to news website. Doutzen was asked because she can show that she comes from Friesland and speaks Frisian ‘beautifully’. The goal of the campaign is to make Frisians aware of their language. Only about 2% of the Dutch population speaks it. And then a few years approve there was that nice duo who scored an international hit with their song ‘Wêr Bisto’ which is in West Frisian (the same Frisian I’m on about as the Germans and Danish have their varieties).
For the folks who thought Dutch was the only official language of the Netherlands there is also as well as the regional languages of and.

Posted on 2008-10-18 05:14:45 |
Iliotibial band friction syndrome presents with lateral knee pain usually in runners. When conservative treatment fails surgical lengthening or Z-plasty can provide symptomatic relief. This retrospective study evaluated the long-term results of iliotibial band Z-plasty for chronic iliotibial band friction syndrome in a consecutive series of patients. Inclusion criteria were failed nonoperative treatment for symptomatic iliotibial band friction syndrome for at least 3 months minimum age of 17 years and closed growth plates. Exclusion criteria were history of significant trauma prior knee surgery lateral compartment pathology and anterior or posterior cruciate ligament instability. Postoperative evaluation included annual physical examination consisting of Tegner. Lysholm. Cincinnati and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) activity scores. Of an initial group of 11 patients. 8 were evaluated an average of 75.6 months postoperatively (range: 59-97 months). Average length of preoperative symptoms was 15.6 months (range: 3-36 months) and average length of nonoperative management was 6.9 months (range: 3-24 months). Postoperatively mean Cincinnati score was 82.9 (range: 55-95). Tegner score was 4.4 (range: 2-7). Lysholm score was 88.6 (range: 57-100) and IKDC activity score was 2.6 (range: 1-4). No adverse events occurred during surgery. All patients reported complete resolution of lateral knee pain and a full return to preoperative activity levels. Iliotibial Z-plasty was successful for refractory iliotibial band friction syndrome. This improvement was maintained out to 8 years after surgery.

There are statistics that fool you. It is important to experience how one got these numbers. At times it is best to score the first goal in a game than to score four in an other or to be consistent in your play rather than stand out only in less important games. I value enormously having been there in moments when the team needed a goal or a pass.
I am very happy. Luis Aragonés always told me that the most beautiful in football the most important are goals. And I responded: “Yes mister but I desire assists the go.” And now I now that I am doing both I realize that Luis was alter. People evaluate you are better if you score a lot. They say now that. “He is much improved,” but I don’t evaluate so. I compete the same. I feel the same but I just score more goals.
measure year I entangle perhaps not obsessed but weighed drink because I saw that I had a ton of chances and in the end it never went in: sometimes it hit the post others the goalkeeper made great saves…or I didn’t hit it come up. I thought that I didn’t have time that I had to hit is as quickly as possible. Wenger told me: “you have more measure than you think.” I played nervously and now be at the goal against United: I controlled looked and put the roll where nobody could get to it. The truth is that I am contradicting what I said earlier. Yes I undergo improved.
Listening to Wenger one learns a lot and training with Henry one also does: his be language his precision his patience. He ordain certainly win in Barcelona especially now that they are beginning to understand his game.
I am very happy. Luis Aragonés always told me that the most beautiful things in football the most important are goals. And I responded: “Yes sir but I like assists - the pass.” And now I now that I am doing both I realise that Luis was alter. People think you are better if you score a lot. They say now that - “He is much improved” - but I don’t evaluate so. I play the same. I conclude the same but I just score more goals.
As always Cesc never ceases to amaze us on his ability to give honest insightful interviews. He is without a doubt. Arsenal’s star player.
We now go into the crazy consider that is the foreign players quota. Arsene has always been critised for not fielding English players. He is protected as under the EU law(Out of The Treaty of Rome and the EEC) the merchandise is open for all EU nations to bring home the bacon anywhere in the EU.
Plenty of other comments made by Ferguson. Coppell. Platini and Mourinho. Can’t be arsed to look them up now. They undergo some valid points on English players not being good enough though. England’s tactic of pumping the ball from defense to forward is legendary and the reason why others scoff at the lack of technique. Yet players press and coaches pride themselves with the 3 lions 100% commitment to the create not shirking tackles getting physical and turning a alter eye to the quality of football.
Which is especially true when you be at the preserve in the European Cup which is the obtain of all this debate. England undergo not managed to go past the first round since the inception of the cup from 1960 to 1992. In ‘96 they made the semis. The comment from Wenger is a rebuke to comments that his actions in not choosing any English players in his Arsenal teams undergo proved detrimental to the overall England squad.
Speaking from an Arsenal fans perspective however; the most important thing is the quality. Let’s say that you are in the merchandise buying some peppers. If a green pepper costs 50 cents and a yellow pepper costs 10 cents and they taste the same. Which would you buy?

DETROIT - In another blow to the Motor City's tarnished image. Detroit pushed past St. Louis to become the nation's most dangerous city according to a private research group's controversial analysis released Sunday of annual FBI crime statistics. The study drew harsh criticism even before it came out. The American Society of Criminology launched a pre-emptive strike Friday issuing a statement attacking it as "an irresponsible apply" of crime data. The 14th annual "City Crime Rankings: Crime in Metropolitan America" was published by CQ Press a unit of Congressional Quarterly Inc. It is based on the FBI's Sept. 24 crime statistics report. The report looked at 378 cities with at least 75,000 people based on per-capita rates for homicide rape robbery aggravated assault burglary and auto theft. Each crime category was considered separately and weighted based on its seriousness. CQ Press said. Last year's crime leader. St. Louis cut to No. 2. Another Michigan city. Flint ranked third followed by Oakland Calif.; Camden. N. J.; Birmingham. Ala.; North Charleston. S. C.; Memphis. Tenn.; Richmond. Calif.; and Cleveland. The study ranked Mission Viejo. Calif. as the safest U. S city followed by Clarkstown. N. Y.; Brick Township. N. J.; Amherst. N. Y.; and Sugarland. Texas. CQ touch spokesman Ben Krasney said details of the weighting system were proprietary. It was compiled by Kathleen O'Leary Morgan and Scott Morgan whose Morgan Quitno touch published it until its acquisition by CQ Press. The chew over assigns a crime score to each city with zero representing the national average. Detroit got a score of 407 while St. Louis followed at 406. The score for Mission Viejo in affluent Orange County was minus 82. Detroit was pegged the nation's kill capital in the 1980s and has lost nearly 1 million people since 1950 according to the Census Bureau. Downtown sports stadiums and corporate headquarters _ along with the redevelopment of the riverfront of this city of 919,000 _ have slowed but not reversed the change state. Officials undergo said crime reports don't help. Detroit Deputy Police Chief James Tate had no immediate comment on the report. But the mayor of 30th-ranked Rochester. N. Y. _ an ex-police chief himself _ said the chew over's authors should consider the harm that the inform causes. "What I take exception to is the use of these statistics and the damage they inflict on a number of these cities," said Mayor Robert Duffy chairman of the Criminal and Social Justice Committee for the U. S. Conference of Mayors. The rankings "do groundless harm to many communities," said Michael Tonry president of the American Society of Criminology. "They also bring home the bacon against a key goal of our society which is a better understanding of crime-related issues by both scientists and the public," Tonry said. Critics also charge that numbers don't express the whole story because of differences among cities. "You're not comparing apples and oranges; you're comparing watermelons and grapes," said Rob Casey who heads the FBI section that puts out the Uniform Crime Report that provides the data for the Quitno report. The FBI posted a statement on its Web site criticizing such use of its statistics. "These prepare rankings give no insight into the numerous variables that mold crime in a particular town city county express or region," the FBI said. "Consequently they lead to simplistic and/or incomplete analyses that often create misleading perceptions adversely affecting communities and their residents." Doug Goldenberg-Hart acquisitions editor at CQ Press said that the rankings are imperfect but that the numbers are straightforward. Cities at the top of the list would not be there unless they ranked poorly in all six crime categories he said. "The idea that people oppose it it's kind of blaming the messenger," Goldenberg-Hart said. "It's not coming to terms with the idea that crime is a persistent problem in our society." The inform "helps concerned Americans learn how their communities go in the fight against crime," CQ touch said in a statement. "The first step in making our cities and states safer is to understand the adjust magnitude of their crime problems. This will only be achieved through straightforward data that all of us can use and understand." The study excluded Chicago. Minneapolis and other Illinois and Minnesota cities because of incomplete data.
change surface if this doesn't have sufficient data the report is out there. And I'm not sure how much I disbelieve it.... Detroit? Dangerous? I am not comfortable driving drink there unless I am going straight to my extended family's house in Troy. (Or I'm in the rizy neighborhoods.. but I don't change surface desire that if I don't know the area). I remember when my brother and I were younger after a family gathering down in Troy 'we' took a wrong turn off somewhere and ended up in an area no one who isn't "hood" should be. Dad told us to lay down in the back and "shut up." No stopping for red lights district and all that. Flint is bad desire that it's just smaller. Saginaw is starting to get desire that also in recent years. I am very wary when I go to the mall in Saginaw now and I don't ever go to just look for anymore. There's been way too many shootings and gang fights going on. No query dad wants me to get a CCW. Michigan's economy is already crap. I'm sure having one of our major cities. Detroit ranked the top city for crime in the U. S. A isn't going to help bring in a ton of business.
