Jim in Anchorage Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 [edit] Post-Exxon ValdezCaptain Hazelwood never had his masters' license revoked and it remains valid to this date, but he has been unable to find long-term work as a captain after the spill. In a show of solidarity his alma mater, SUNY Maritime College, hired him as a teacher aboard the T/S Empire State V the year after the incident with the Valdez. In 1997, he was working as a paralegal and maritime consultant with New York City's Chalos & Brown, the firm that represented him in his legal cases. He was residing on Long Island in Huntington, New York in 1997.[10] Though he was originally sentenced to assist with the cleanup of the oil spill, due to the lengthy appeals process, his community service was conducted in the Anchorage, Alaska, area, beginning in June 1999 picking up trash from local roads then later moving to Bean's Cafe, a local soup kitchen.[11] His community service was conducted over five years with the Anchorage Parks Beautification Program.[12] He paid the $50,000 fine in May 2002.[13] It can happen to anyone.

olivier in france Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Thinking about bras and brewery's together does have some charm.Skipped all my French classes. Took German. Felt they had a more "dynamic" outlook. Learning that barbarian german language is totally useless ... 90% of the germans speak good english while frenchmen are about as bad as americans to learn foreign tongues...

In my day German was a required collage course. Many of the scientific papers were published in it. French was only required for aspiring cream puff chiefs.

Well in fact i'm sure it depends a lot on the kind of scientific studies you made. In mechanics, machinery, physics, chemical issues there's a lot more scientific work coming from Germany... On the contrary in aeronautics, medecine, biology, food and agriculture fields the french research is much better than the german... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germany is by far the biggest player in the european chemical industry, especially in fields not linked to biology. And even in pharma chemistry german must be important considering the big role of the swiss pharma giants ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if it makes you feel better I remember virtually none of it-never did have much practical use.

Learning foreign languages other than english is great to understand the culture, to open your mind on a new universe but franckly it has not much practical use if you don't live just next door of a foreign country! So that does not bother at all that an american learn german instead of french... in fact if i were american i'd probably learn spanish, japanese and chinese before going to french or german...
