History of Slovenia |
Carinthian Slovenes (Slovene: Koroški Slovenci; German: Kärntner Slowenen) are the indigenous Slovene-speaking population group in the Austrian state of Carinthia. The Carinthian Slovenes send representatives to the National Ethnic Groups Advisory Council. The status of the minority group is guaranteed in principle by the Constitution of Austria and under international law.
The present-day Slovene language area was initially settled towards the end of the early mediæval Migration Period by, among others, West Slavic peoples, and thereafter eventually by South Slavs, who became the predominant group (see Slavic settlement of Eastern Alps). A southern Slavonic informal language with western Slavonic influence arose. At the end of the migration period, a Slavic proto-state called Carantania, the precursor of the later Duchy of Carinthia, arose; it extended far beyond the present area of the present state and its political center is said to have lain in the Zollfeld Valley.
In the mid 8th century, the Carantanian Prince Boruth, embattled by the Avars, had to pledge allegiance to Duke Odilo of Bavaria. The principality became part of Francia and the Carolingian Empire under Emperor Charlemagne, and, in consequence, was incorporated as the Carinthian march of the Holy Roman Empire. As a result of this, German noble families became gradually prevalent, while the rural population remained Slovene.
Finally, Bavarian settlers moved into Carinthia, where they established themselves in the hitherto sparsely populated areas, such as wooded regions and high valleys. Only here and there did this lead to the direct displacement of Slavs (the development to being Slovenians did not take place until later). However, a process of assimilation of Slovenes by Germans began. In the 19th century, about two-thirds of the Carinthian citizens had in this way become German-speaking. Nevertheless, the local capital Klagenfurt, at this time a bilingual city with social superior German language usage and Slovene-speaking environs, was also a centre of Slovene culture and literature.
Carinthian Plebiscite[edit]
With the emergence of the nationalist movement in the late Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, there was an acceleration in the process of assimilation; at the same time the conflict between national groups became more intense.
In the course of the dissolution of Austria-Hungary at the end of World War I, the Carinthian provisional assembly proclaimed the accession to German-Austria, whereafter the newly established State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs for a short time occupied the districts where the greater majority still used the Slovene language. Armed clashes followed and this issue also split the Slovene population. In the plebiscite zone in which the Slovene-speaking proportion of the population constituted about 70%, 59% of those who voted came out to remain with the First Austrian Republic. In the run-up to the plebiscite the state government gave an assurance that it would promote and support the retention of Slovene culture. These conciliatory promises, in addition to economic and other reasons, led to about 40% of the Slovenes living in the plebiscite zone voting to retain the unity of Carinthia. Voting patterns were, however, different by region; in many municipalities there were majorities who voted to become part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.
Initially, the Slovene community in Carinthia enjoyed minority rights like bilingual schools and parishes, Slovene newspapers, associations and representatives in municipal councils and in the Landtag assembly. Similar to other European states, German nationalism in Austria grew in the interwar period and ethnic tensions led to an increasing discrimination against the Carinthian Slovenes. Promises made were broken, assimilation was forced by dividing the Carinthian Slovenes into "nationalist" Slovenes proper and "Germanophile" Windisch, even by denying that their language - a Slovene dialect with a large number of words borrowed from German - was Slovene at all.
This culminated in targeted persecution after the Austrian Anschluss to Nazi Germany in 1938, though certainly it was possible to put oneself on good terms with the Nazi regime by professing to be Windisch with the associated promise to assimilate. From 1942 Carinthian Slovenes were systematically expelled at the behest of Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler, they were barracked in the Klagenfurt Reichsarbeitsdienst camp and later deported to several Volksdeutsche Mittelstelle compounds. The expulsions made many Slovenes flee and take part in Tito's partisans' resistance. After World War II, Yugoslav troops again moved into parts of Carinthia including its capital city, Klagenfurt, but withdrew under pressure from the British occupation forces.
In view of this extreme development on both sides, the atmosphere between the two national groups was extremely tense after the war and the Slovene language continued to retreat steadily despite the fact that in the mixed-language areas every schoolchild now had to undergo bilingual instruction. Because of this, however, members of German-speaking families were counted among the numbers of Slovene Carinthians in publications from Communist Ljubljana, which then caused such families to deny their knowledge of the Slovene dialect so that every-day communication in this Slovene dialect between the ethnic groups ceased.
Austrian State Treaty[edit]
On 15 May 1955 the Austrian State Treaty was signed, in Article 7 of which the "rights of the Slovene and Croat minorities" in Austria were regulated. In 1975 the electoral grouping of the Slovene national group (Enotna Lista) only just failed to gain entry to the state assembly. With the argument that in elections the population should vote for the political parties rather than according to their ethnic allegiance, before the next elections in 1979 the originally single electoral district of Carinthia was divided into four constituencies. The area of settlement of the Carinthian Slovenes was divided up and these parts were in turn combined with purely German-speaking parts of the province. In the new constituencies the Slovene-speaking proportion of the population was reduced in such a way that it was no longer possible for the representatives of national minorities to succeed in getting into the state assembly. The Austrian Center for Ethnic Groups and representatives of the Carinthian Slovenes saw in this way of proceeding a successful attempt of gerrymandering in order to reduce the political influence of the Slovene-speaking minority group.
In 1957 the German national Kärntner Heimatdienst (KHD) pressure group was established, by its own admission in order to advocate the interests of "patriotic" Carinthians. In the 1970s the situation again escalated in a dispute over bilingual place-name signs (Ortstafelstreit), but thereafter became less tense.[1] However, continuing up to the present, individual statements by Slovene politicians are interpreted by parts of the German-speaking population as Slovene territorial claims, and they therefore regard the territorial integrity of Carinthia as still not being guaranteed. This interpretation is rejected both by the Slovene government and by the organizations representing the interests of the Carinthian Slovenes. The territorial integrity of Carinthia and its remaining part of Austria are said not to be placed in question at all.
Current developments[edit]
Since the 1990s a growing interest in Slovene on the part of German-speaking Carinthians has been perceptible, but this could turn out to be too late in view of the increase in the proportion of elderly people. From 1997 Slovene and German traditionalist associations met in regular round-table discussions to reach a consensus. However, the success of Jörg Haider, former governor of Carinthia from 1999 to 2008, in making again a political issue out of the dispute over bilingual place-name signs shows that the conflict is, as before, still present.
Area of settlement and proportion of the population[edit]
2001 census |
1971 census |
At the end of the 19th century, the Carinthian Slovenes comprised approximately one quarter to one third of the total population of Carinthia, which then, however, included parts that in the meantime have been ceded. In the course of the 20th century the numbers declined, especially because of the pressure to assimilate, to an official figure of 2.3% of the total population. As the pressure from German came above all from the west and north, the present area of settlement lies in the south and east of the state, in the valleys known in German as Jauntal (in Slovenian: Podjuna), Rosental (Slovenian: Rož), the lower Lavanttal (Labotska dolina), the Sattniz (Gure) mountains between the Drau River and Klagenfurt, and the lower part of Gailtal / Ziljska dolina (to about as far as Tröpolach). Köstenberg and Diex are approximately the most northerly points of current Slovenian settlement. The municipalities with the highest proportion of Carinthian Slovenes are Zell (89%), Globasnitz (42%), and Eisenkappel-Vellach (38%), according to the 2001 special census which inquired about the mother tongue and preferred language. The actual number of Carinthian Slovenes is disputed, as both the representatives of Slovene organizations and the representatives of Carinthian traditional organizations describe the census results as inaccurate. The former point to the, in part, strongly fluctuating census results in individual municipalities, which in their opinion correlate strongly with political tensions in national minority questions. Consequently the results would underestimate the actual number of Carinthian Slovenes. The South Carinthian municipality of Gallizien is cited as an example: according to the 1951 census the proportion of Slovene speakers was 80%, whereas in 1961—in absence of any significant migratory movements and with approximately the same population—the proportion dropped to only 11%.
Year | Number of Slovenes |
1818 | 137,000 |
1848 | 114,000 |
1880 | 85,051 |
1890 | 84,667 |
1900 | 75,136 |
1910 | 66,463 |
1923 | 34,650 |
1934 | 24,875 |
1939 | 43,179 |
1951 | 42,095 |
1961 | 24,911 |
1971 | 20,972 |
1981 | 16,552 |
1991 | 14,850 |
2001 | 13,109 |
As a further example the results of the former municipality of Mieger (now in the municipality of Ebental), are cited, which in 1910 and 1923 had a Slovene-speaking population of 96% and 51% respectively, but in 1934 only 3%. After World War II and a relaxation of relations between both population groups, the municipality showed a result of 91.5% in the 1951 census. Ultimately, in 1971 in the run-up to the Carinthian place-name signs dispute, the number of Slovenes was reduced again to 24%. Representatives of the Carinthian Slovenes regard the census results as the absolute lower limit. They refer to an investigation carried out in 1991 in bilingual parishes, in the process of which there was a question about the colloquial language used by members of the parish. The results of this investigation (50,000 members of national minority groups) differed significantly from those of the census that took place in the same year (about 14,000). Carinthian traditional organizations, on the other hand, estimate the actual number of self-declared Slovenes as being 2,000 to 5,000 persons.

The Carinthian group of Slovene dialects extends beyond the present borders of Carinthia. Carinthian Slovene dialects are spoken throughout Slovenian Carinthia and extend into the Pohorje mountain range and along the upper Drava Valley in Slovenian Styria. Additionally, a Carinthian Slovene dialect is spoken in the Upper Carniolan locality of Rateče in Slovenia (close to the border with Italy), while in the nearby town of Kranjska Gora, a transitional dialect between Carinthian and Upper Carniolan is spoken.
Caritnhian Slovenes traditionally speak four dialects, all of them belonging to the Carinthian dialect group. These are the Jauntal dialect, Rosental dialect, Gailtal dialect and Ebriach dialect. The former, which is influenced by the Upper Carniolan dialect, can also be regarded as a subgroup of the Jaun Valley dialect. The Carinthian dialects are particularly unadulterated. In the present German-speaking areas the Slavonic basis of place and pasture names as far as into the upper part of the Möll Valley can be demonstrated. German and Slovene have in any case exercised a reciprocal influence in tone and vocabulary on each other in the course of the centuries.
(See also: Slovenian dialects.)
The historic description Windisch was applied in the German-speaking area to all Slavic languages (confer Wends in Germania Slavica) and in particular to the Slovene language southern Austria until the 19th century. The term is still used in part (predominantly by German nationalist circles) as an overall term for Slovene dialects spoken in Carinthia. However, because of the historical associations of the term, "a German word with pejorative overtones",[2] it is rejected by a large part of the Carinthian Slovene population. According to linguistic standards, the assumption of a Windisch language or an eponymous Slovene dialect (as distinct from the Carinthian dialect group) is not sustainable.
For political reasons, Windisch is sometimes counted in addition to Slovene as a separate language category or as a mixed language. An interesting point is that this perspective is being revived by certain backward-looking groups in Slovenia and elsewhere through the disputed Venetic theory. Actually the German term Wenden is derived from the Latin Venetae, a denotation for both the ancient Adriatic Veneti and the Celtic Veneti in Gaul. From the 6th and 7th centuries onwards, the—neutral—term was applied to the people living in the Slavic principality of Carantania by German immigrants descending from Bavaria. It was perpetuated by Primož Trubar's Catechismus in der windischen Sprach, the first printed book in Slovene language published in 1550, and still common during the Protestant Reformation, as noted by scholar Jernej Kopitar (1780-1844).
Literature after the Second World War[edit]
In early 1981 the novel Der Zögling Tjaž by Florjan Lipuš appeared in a German translation by Peter Handke, which led to Handke being described by the Wiener Extrablatt as "Article 7 personified" for this literary achievement. In addition to Lipuš, Handke later translated Gustav Januš. However, Slovene literature in Carinthia is made up not only of Januš and Lipuš, but also a number of other authors. Mirko Kumer, Kristo Srienc and Valentin Polanšek are part of the tradition, but in addition to Lipuš, Janko Messner is part of a small, more innovative group that is nevertheless committed to the literary tradition. Lipus himself has developed into an outstanding belletrist. Younger prose authors include Jože Blajs, Martin Kuchling, Kristijan Močilnik and the internationally known Janko Ferk. There are a considerable number of lyric poets, Milka Hartman being outstanding. Anton Kuchling is part of this generation. Gustav Januš and Andrej Kokot, as well as those lyric poets not currently writing, namely Erik Prunč and Karel Smolle, form the next generation. A group including Janko Ferk, Maja Haderlap, Franc Merkac, Jani Oswald, Vincenc Gotthardt, Fabjan Hafner and Cvetka Lipuš that formed itself predominantly around the literary periodical Mladje (Youth) follows these lyric poets. Rezka Kanzian and Tim O. Wüster, whose works have not (as of 2006) appeared in books of their own, are part of the youngest generation. Slovenian literature in Carinthia since the Second World War has displayed a clear will to live; in the 2000s it is an emancipated literature free from provincialism. Johann (Janez) Strutz in particular has rendered outstanding services to the literature of the Carinthian Slovenes from the point of view of the sociology, theory and history of literature. His book Profile der neuen slowenischen Literatur in Kärnten ("Profiles of modern Slovene literature in Carinthia"), published in 1998 in a revised and extended edition, is a much respected standard work. Maja Haderlap has taken a much-needed literary theme: the Austria's only militarily organized resistance against National Socialism - the Carinthian minority - Carinthian Slovenes as one of the non-Jewish Holocaust's victims.
Educational system[edit]
In 1848 the Ministry of Education decreed that compulsory school pupils should be taught in their respective native language. The efforts of German nationalist forces in Carinthia to change this regulation were unsuccessful until the end of the 1860s. Between 1855 and 1869 the Slovene compulsory school system lay in the hands of the Roman Catholic Church, which was traditionally friendly to the Slovenes. From 1869 there was a major alteration in the instructions regarding the use of the native language in teaching, resulting from the Imperial law on state schools, as from this time the authority maintaining the school could lay down the language of instruction. This led to a large proportion of the compulsory schools being converted into so-called utraquist schools, in which Slovene was regarded as an auxiliary language to be used in teaching only until the pupils had acquired an adequate command of German.[3] Only a few schools remained purely Slovene (In 1914: St Jakob in Rosental, St Michael ob Bleiburg and Zell Parish).[4] The utraquist form of school remained in existence until 1941.[3] This school system was rejected by the Slovene national minority as an "instrument of Germanization".[4]
On 3 October 1945 a new law on schools that envisaged a bilingual education for all children in the traditional area of settlement of Carinthian Slovenes, regardless of the ethnic group to which they belonged, was passed.[5] Bilingual education took place in the first three school years, after which Slovene was a compulsory subject. After the signing of the State Treaty in 1955 and the solution of the hitherto open question of the course of the Austrian–Yugoslav border that was implicitly associated with this, there were protests against this model, culminating in 1958 in a school strike. As a result of this development, the state governor (Landeshauptmann), Ferdinand Wedenig, issued a decree in September 1958 that made it possible for parents or guardians to deregister their children from bilingual teaching. In March 1959 the educational system was again altered to the effect that henceforth pupils had to register explicitly for bilingual education.[3] As a result of what in effect was an associated compulsion to declare one's allegiance to an ethnic minority, the numbers of pupils in the bilingual system sank considerably. In 1958 only 20.88%, and in the 1970s only 13.9%, of bilingual pupils registered for German–Slovene teaching.[5] The minorities' school law that was altered in the course of a three-party agreement SPÖ (Social Democratic Party of Austria), ÖVP (Austrian People's Party), and FPÖ (Austrian Freedom Party) that envisaged a far-reaching separation on the basis of classes of primary school pupils into those taught bilingually and those taught only in German. The issue of whether headteachers of bilingual schools must be able to produce a bilingual qualification remains controversial.[3]
An extension of what is being offered by schools is faced with the general development in the bilingual education system that has been described and that is viewed critically by Slovene organizations In 1957 the federal grammar school and federal secondary school for Slovenes (Bundesgymnasium and Bundesrealgymnasium für Slowenen/Zvezna gimnazija in Zvezna realna gimnazija za Slovence) was founded, in whose building the bilingual federal commercial school (Zweisprachige Bundeshandelsakademie/Dvojezična zvezna trgovska akademija) has also been accommodated since 1991. Since 1989 there has been a secondary school (Höhere Lehranstalt) operated by the Roman Catholic Church in St Peter in Rosental (municipality of St Jakob). Following a decision by the Constitutional Court, school pupils in Klagenfurt are able to attend a public-funded bilingual primary school, in addition to the one operated by the Church.[3] As a result of a private initiative, the Slovene music school (Kärntner Musikschule/Glasbena šola na Koroškem) was founded in 1984 and has received public funds since 1998 when a co-operation agreement was concluded with the State of Carinthia. However, the amount of this financial support (in relation to the number of pupils) contravenes the law on equality of treatment in the view of the Austrian National Minorities Center, as the other operator in the Carinthian music school system, the Musikschulwerk, receives, on a per capita basis, a higher amount.[6] The Glasbena šola is able to continue its operations, however, with the help of contributions from the Republic of Slovenia.
An increased interest by people in South Carinthia in bilingual education has been generally perceptible since the 1990s. In the 2007/08 school year, 41% of the pupils in primary schools in the area in which the minority school system applied were registered for bilingual teaching – the proportion of children without previous knowledge of Slovene amounted to over 50%.[7]
Civil society institutions[edit]
The Slovene minority in Carinthia has a well-developed network of civil society institutions. The main "umbrella organizations" are National Council of Carinthian Slovenes (Narodni svet koroških Slovencev - Rat der Kärntner Slowenen), representing Christian and conservative views, and the Association of Slovenian Organisations (Zveza slovenskih organizacij - Zentralverband slowenischer Organisationen), closer to left-wing and liberal policies. The main political association is the Koroška enotna lista (Kärntner Einheitsliste), a joint political platform that runs at local elections. Other important organizations include:
- Krščanska kulturna zveza (Christlicher Kulturverband) – Christian Cultural Association
- Slovenska prosvetna zveza (Slowenischer Kulturverband) – Slovene Cultural Association
- Slovenska gospodarska zveza (Slowenischer Wirtschaftsverband) – Slovene Economic Organization
- Skupnost južnokoroških kmetov (Gemeinschaft der Südkärntner Bauern) – Community of South Carinthian Farmers
- Slovenska planinska Družba (Alpenverein der Kärntner Slowenen) – Alpine Climbing Club of Carinthian Slovenes
- Slovenski atletski klub (Slowenischer Athletikklub) – Slovene Athletic Club
- Koroška dijaška zveza (Slowenischer Studenten Verband) – Slovene Students' Association
- Nedelja – Slovene-language weekly newspaper of the diocese of Gurk
- Novice – Slovene-language weekly news-sheet
- Mohorjeva družba-Hermagoras – Catholic bilingual publisher (Klagenfurt)
- Drava Verlag – bilingual publisher (Klagenfurt)
The Christian cultural association and the National Council of Carinthian Slovenes have endowed an annual award, the Einspieler prize (named after the founder of the Hermagoras Society Publishing House, Andrej Einspieler), to individuals who have rendered outstanding services to the cause of co-existence. The prize has been awarded to, among others, the industrialist Herbert Liaunig, the governor of South Tyrol Luis Durnwalder, and professor of general and diachronic linguistics at the University of Klagenfurt Heinz Dieter Pohl, scholar and professor at the Central European University Anton Pelinka Roman Catholic prelate Egon Kapellari, Austrian politician Rudolf Kirchschläger and others.

Rumours surround Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring
Microgaming powered Royal Vegas online casino announce a revamped version of Microgaming's hallmark slot game will be released in September.
Chatter about Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring reached fever pitch this week. A newsletter from Microgaming powered All Jackpots casino said, "Prepare to feel the power of the ring- coming soon," leading to speculation that the second part of the trilogy would be released.
A press release from Royal Vegas casino, as yet unconfirmed by Microgaming, then clarified that an enhanced version, which "builds on the success of the original game", will be released.
The enhanced version features Gollum, who can appear anywhere and award players with features and prizes. Gollum is a Hobbit, who lost possession of the One Ring to Bilbo Baggins. The Ring caused him to develop a split personality, friendly and loving Slinker and treacherous and evil Stinker.
Another new feature is a progressive jackpot, taking the game's total number of progressive jackpots to four. Royal Vegas states, "There is a chance to win one of four jackpots within the randomly triggered Bonus Wheel feature. The higher the bet, the better the chances are of winning."
The features that make LOTR so successful are retained on the enhanced version, including Cinematic Spins, where scenes from the film play as the reels spin. There is also still 243 ways to win.
Microgaming is no rush to release the next installment of the trilogy. The software provider, which invested in the trilogy with Warner Brothers, is publically remaining quiet about its plans.
Royal Vegas online casino is a brand of the Fortune Lounge group. It is licensed by the Lotteries and Gaming Authority of Malta.

It's the busiest day of the year for airports, highways and train stations in Colorado and across the country but the struggling economy is expected to take a bite out of travel.
The suitcases are packed and rolling and it's planes, trains and automobiles.
Lyron Bohman was headed home on Wednesday, the busiest travel day of the year. She says the train is the best way to go.
"It's like the cheapest way for me to travel and plus it's so much easier than driving because you can sleep and eat and do whatever you want."
At the bus station, Rebecca Hamm was waiting to catch a ride.
"This is actually my first time on a Greyhound. It's just cheaper than flying it was very convenient."
Both stations were pretty empty in the calm before the storm Wednesday morning but nationwide bus and train travel is up 16 percent.
On the highways expect less traffic. AAA predicts the number of people hitting the roads is down but there could be a wildcard.
Gas prices are half of what they were in July and last minute travelers could add to the numbers.
William Budd IV was surprised at the lack of traffic at the Grand Junction Airport on Wednesday afternoon but he's used to Chicago.
"I'm kind of not in the busy time so i'm hoping it will work out pretty well."
And with passenger levels down ten percent, he's hoping for a little more leg room and most of all, a lot of turkey and quality time with family.
"I can't wait to spend time with them."
Airline officials expect less delays because of the drop in passengers.
Over the weekend 41 million people will travel 50 miles or more, down 600,000 from last year.

Re^3: SOAP-Lite-0.714 Not workingby Plankton (Priest) |
on Apr 18, 2012 at 05:11 UTC ( #965622=note: print w/ replies, xml ) | Need Help?? |
Well the reason I say install by executing perl -MCPAN -eshell is that CPAN module will download and install any modules SOAP::Lite is dependent upon. Crypt::SSLeay will probably need some encryption software installed that is not available from cpan, but you would get some error message telling you what to do. So really do the perl -MCPAN -eshell thing and let the CPAN module do its thing. It is better than doing wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/M/MK/MKUTTER/SOAP-Lite-0.714.tar.gz && tar -xzf SOAP-Lite-0.714.tar.gz && cd SOAP-Lite-0.714 && make && make test && make install.

III.Q.02Theater Laser Communications. Develop and demonstrate critical technologies required for a theater laser communications network. This activity will transition technologies developed under BMDO, OGAs, and industry to meet tactical Army applications. Technologies provide a high bandwidth data rate (overhead and ground) sensor capability while reducing size, weight, power, and cost. Potential applications are directed to airborne reconnaissance missions using a layered architecture involving satellites, manned and unmanned aircraft, aerostatic vehicles, and portable/fixed ground terminals. In FY96, a study was conducted to assess the viability of laser communication technology for spacetoground applications. The study revealed that a layered architecture consisting of satellitetoairtoground platforms provided high link availability through most weather conditions, especially for those missions with increased response time requirements. In FY97; 1) conduct an airtoground proof of concept demonstration using the Airborne Surveillance Testbed and existing BMDO lasercom terminals to transmit high bandwidth data (1.2 gbps), and 2) design and obtain necessary hardware to begin development of a portable demonstration ground terminal. In FY98, demonstrate the spacetoground link using BMDO satellite (STRV2) platform and a portable ground terminal. In FY99,demonstrate a joint satellitetoairtoground technology and transition to Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below Tactical Internet; integrate into Space and Missile Defense Battle Lab and Battle Command Battle Lab for evaluation and requirement generation.
Supports: Battle Command Battle Lab and Space and Missile Defense Battle Lab.

III.Q.03Laser Boresight Calibration. The laser calibrator will provide a known ground registration point for space based sensors resulting in an improved impact area and launch point prediction for Theater Ballistic Missiles (TBM). It will reduce command and control time lines and improve the overall responsiveness of Joint Precision Strike and Theater Missile Defense forces. This capability will be integrated into the Joint Tactical Ground Station (JTAGS) P31. By FY97 demonstrate improved near real time determination of TBM launch point and trajectory parameters by using a compact, intheater, tunable laser calibration system for space based Defense Support Program satellite sensors. The improved lineofsight target accuracy will result in higher quality missile warning, alerting, and cueing information. The theater ballistic missile search box to detect launch systems is significantly reduced. This capability will be extensively field tested with the theater warfighter in FY9697 and will be transitioned to JTAGS P31 in FY98.

III.Q.04Battlefield Ordnance Awareness (BOA). Battlefield Ordnance Awareness (BOA). Objective is to demonstrate a near real time ordnance reporting system using on board processing with space sensors. This technology will provide near real time battlefield visualization of friendly and enemy ordnance fires, and cruise missile launches. It addresses the need to target ordnance delivery for counterfire purposes, a major battlefield deficiency. While systems exist to locate and tract vehicle traffic and radio frequency transmitters for intelligence preparation of the battlefield, no system currently exists that reports type, time and sightings of either red or blue ordnance. The BOA capability will identify the ordnance by type and provide position information for counter fire opportunities, as well as Battle Damage Assessment, blue forces ordnance inventory, information for dispatch of logistical and medical support, and search and rescue. It also has the potential to type classify launch systems using the time domain intensity information in specific spectral bands. Advanced processor technology will be used with state of the art staring focal plane arrays to provide critical information to battlefield commanders. By FY97, acquire ordnance data by type and develop algorithms for near real time processing. By FY98, demonstrate near realtime processing of the ordnance data. In FY99, develop a space qualifiable BOA sensor design with state of the art near real time, onboard processing. Integrate BOA sensor and NRT processor by FY00. In FY01, qualify the BOA sensor and demonstrate airborne ordnance collection. Demonstrate NRT Airborne ordnance reporting by the end of FY02. Transition to the Defense Airborne Reconnaissance Office (DARO) and Army PEOField Artillery Systems.

III.Q.05Overhead Sensor Technology for Battlefield Characterization. Develop and demonstrate advanced overhead sensor technologies for wide area battlefield force detection, discrimination, and target identification in near real time and reduce platform data communications downlink and ground processing Army requirements. Technologies focus on passive optical sensor using spectral, polarimetric, and on focal plane array (FPA) requirements. Initial sensor is baselined for UAV testing and applications. Final sensor configuration will be integrated onto the USAF MightySat platform to be manifested in DoD TriService Space Test Program. This provides opportunities for the Army to define operational and technical requirements for next generation optical space sensors and associated ground processing capabilities in support of the Army warfighting goals. Sensor bands in the 0.42.5, 35, and 812 micron regions with hyperspectral output will be investigated. Specific technologies exploited include approaches to improve area coverage, on FPA signal processing techniques to exploit spectral/polarimetric signatures to achieve high performance autocueing, hyperspectral, spatial and temporal signature processing, and wide field of view imagery. These sensor technologies will provide wide area coverage of the battlefield, robust detection and targeting data while remaining within current Army C4I data rates. By FY99 baseline sensor packaging and configuration for UAV and space application and initial demonstration of onFPA processing of spectral data. By FY00 demonstrate a hyperspectral sensor with smart focal plane processing in the 12.5, 35, and 812 micron wavebands, and improved cueing and clutter rejection via polarization and on FPA processing using ground test. Analyze and incorporate appropriate Warfighter hyperspectral technologies. By FY01 demonstrate on chip neomorphic processing, hyperspectral spatial and temporal signature processing with sensor using airborne testing. By FY02 field test an integrated sensor on a high altitude UAV and measure performance against stated objectives. In FY03 begin integration of advanced space sensor technologies into USAF MightySat platform for subsequent launch and demonstration in the DoD TriService Space Test Program.

Meet Sen. Dan Coats (R-K Street)
Count Indiana's Rep. Brad Ellsworth among today's Democratic dead. Republican Dan Coats beat out Ellsworth, capturing the seat of retiring Democrat Evan Bayh. Coats eked out of May's primary with 39% of the vote, earning ridicule from the Democrats for his slim plurality. But Republicans will have the last laugh, at least until 2012. And so will K Street.
A former Senator and ambassador to Germany, Coats has spent his off-years as a lobbyist for a number of clients including Google, Lockheed Martin, and Bank of America. In a less enflamed political climate, Coats' hobnobbing with special interests and Ellsworth's moderate credentials might have delivered the race to him. During his time in House, Ellsworth had a knack for pissing off Nancy Pelosi. As one of the Stupak Seven, he refused to support any health reform bill that paid for abortions with public money (he eventually came around and voted for the bill). He's also pro-gun, and opposes any energy policy that taxes coal-burning power plants. It's no surprise that he voted against his party almost more than any other Democrat, choosing to represent his constituency's interests over his party's.
What, then, did Indiana voters find so objectionable? That he's a Democrat. Obama barely won the state in 2008, and the Indiana electorate is historically bipolar. Ellsworth's strict adherence to the center, along with voters' skepticism of Coats' illustrious lobbying record, should have kept him safe. But Coats' ability to tap into the nation's anti-incumbent fervor paid off, seemingly proving that all you needed to prevail this year was to not be a Democrat. (Ellsworth's loss is also likely to be a Democratic double-whammy: His House seat in the Indiana 8th will probably be picked up by Republican Larry Buchson). Meanwhile, his lobbying record doesn't seem to have been much of a liability.

It's the remote compass getting thrown off by the steel in bridge or other boat.
Amazing how many people don't appear to appreciate this. When I had my first 'Teachable Moment' with an AP and a passing yacht all those years ago, I was aware of that, of course... The eye-opening realization for me, was that such an effect might be felt at such a distance... The AP locking hard over at that particular moment MIGHT have been purely coincidental, of course - but if it was, that only reinforces the notion that an AP can go nuts at ANY moment...
But the faith many boaters put in the infallibility of these devices today is pretty spooky... I once saw a boat kiss the fender system at the North Landing Bridge, obviously going thru it on autopilot when he suddenly veered off course... Gee, I wonder what possibly could have caused THAT to happen? :-)
Well, better he learned his lesson at a placid spot like that, than when passing a towboat in one of the ICW's typical land cuts...

Cloud Computing: Apple`s iCloud.com Now Live, Kicking Off Cupertino Cloud Push
Apple's iCloud.com Website is now live, but accessible only to registered developers (typing in your Apple ID will return a notice reading, "The iCloud.com Beta is only available to developers). It's the latest step in Apple's wide-ranging cloud plans, which include syncing user content across a variety of iOS and Mac OS X devices. As demonstrated by Apple CEO Steve Jobs and his executives June 6 during the company's Worldwide Developers Conference, iCloud will serve as an online repository/syncing tool for documents, photos and music. A song downloaded to an iPad will also appear on a Mac, iPod Touch and associated devices. In addition, contacts, calendar and email are now cloud-centric features, with automatic updates and synced messaging. The final version of iCloud will ship along with iOS 5 sometime this fall. With this project, Apple is throwing down the gauntlet to both Google and Amazon.com, which have been building out their cloud offerings for regular users. Amazon's Cloud Drive lets users store documents and music within the cloud, while Google has expanded its cloud offerings beyond productivity to music, courtesy of the recently released Music Beta. Apple clearly intends to leverage its substantial market presence in hardware, software and media to make iCloud workwhich, in turn, could help it advance its vision of a "post-PC world, in which mobile devices such as the iPhone take precedence in users' lives over the traditional PC.

The following table lists the Gears™ APIs that the BlackBerry® Browser supports.
Gears API
Permission required?
This API is used to instantiate all Gears objects.
This API provides access to binary data in web applications.
This API provides a client-side database, built on SQLite®, that provides your web application with a persistent store for user and application data. You can use SQL statements (as supported by SQLite) to access the data.
On a media card, if one is installed, the database files are stored in the /BlackBerry/system/appdata/rim/gears/ folder.
On the internal media card, if it exists on the BlackBerry device, the database files are stored in the /home/user/appdata/rim/gears/ folder.
When Mass Storage Mode is enabled on the BlackBerry device and the device is connected to the BlackBerry® Desktop Manager, access to the media card is not available. As a result, there might be instances when your database operations are unsuccessful because the database location on the media card is unavailable.
The BlackBerry Browser implementation of this API includes the SQLite full text search extension FTS3, which differs from the Gears specification. The Gears specification describes support for FTS2. FTS2 has been deprecated by SQLite.
This API allows you to place an icon on the Home screen of the BlackBerry device. This icon acts as an entry point to your web application. When the user clicks the icon, the browser opens and displays the content associated with the URL of the web application. The BlackBerry Browser supports multiple file selection by using the openFiles() method.
The BlackBerry Browser implementation of this API does not support referencing an image for the icon with a URL (as defined in the Gears Desktop API specification). You must provide the icon image file.
This API allows for access to location information for the BlackBerry device. You can use the Geolocation API only for high-accuracy position requests.
This API provides more functionality than the blackberry.location object, but using the Geolocation API might be a costlier option, in terms of time and battery life. Since only high-accuracy position requests are possible, response time can be slow. The browser maintains an open network connection while it waits for the location information, so repeated high-accuracy requests can drain the BlackBerry device battery.
This API provides functionality that is similar to the XMLHttpRequest object. Unlike the XMLHttpRequest object, the objects of the HttpRequest API can function within the context of a WorkerPool.
The BlackBerry Browser implementation does not support incremental progress for the HttpRequest.onprogress and HttpRequestUpload.onprogress event handlers. Instead, each include a start event and an end event.
This API is designed to provide a client-side web server so that web pages can be served from the cache while the BlackBerry device is offline.
This API is not yet implemented, but is stubbed out in BlackBerry® Device Software 5.0. If you use this API, your web application will function, but it will not cache and serve pages as intended.
This API allows you to set window timer functions for scripts running in workerpools.

Fanny Binswanger Hoffman
Fanny Binswanger Hoffman belonged to a distinguished American family with roots deep in American history. Her father, Rabbi Isidor Binswanger, was head of the Maimonides School in Philadelphia, the first Jewish institution of higher learning in the United States. Hoffman followed in her father's footsteps, dedicating her life to Jewish education for children.
Fanny Binswanger Hoffman was born in Philadelphia in 1862 to Rabbi Binswanger and Elizabeth Sophie (Polock). As a young woman, she knew the advantages that culture could offer. Her own schooling in the United States and in Europe, her wide travels, and her deep appreciation of the best in American Jewish life helped prepare her for responsible leadership in her adult years.
While still a young woman, Fanny became the first principal of the Sunday school of the Mikveh Israel Congregation in Philadelphia. Later she helped to found, and became the first president of, the Philadelphia branch of the National Council of Jewish Women. Her chief interest lay in working with children. A pioneer in teaching at a period when young girls were not accustomed to leaving their homes to study or work, she became one of the first Jewish female kindergarten teachers in the United States. Her love of children led her to found the Young Women's Union of Philadelphia, later called the Jewish Neighborhood Center.
In Philadelphia, she met and married Charles I. Hoffman, a lawyer who later gave up the law to study for the rabbinate in England. When they returned to Philadelphia, they raised their five children in the full tradition of Judaism and gave them the finest that American educational facilities could offer.
As the second president of the National Women's League (later, Women's League for Conservative Judaism, Fanny Hoffman was personally selected by Mathilde Schechter, whom she had first met in England, and served from 1919 to 1928. Hoffman's great contribution to the National Women's League was to carry forward and expand the work begun by Mathilde Schechter and to reinforce the league's program of Jewish education for children. By personal example, in the practice of Judaism and in her love for Jewish tradition, this "aristocrat of the spirit, whose innate fineness expressed itself in simplicity and humility," won the allegiance of thousands of synagogue women to the National Women's League's aims and goals.
Fanny Binswanger Hoffman died on August 15, 1949.

Full time long term cruising
You see, Ive this little problem; Ive this beautiful big boat & no one to share it with.
If you have youth, are unencumbered, a zest for life & adventure, possibly this is the situation for you. If you dont buy into the 2.4 kids, the workaholic husband, the white picket fence & the mini-van, possibly this is the situation for you.
I doubt that I could be accused of being "good looking". I am over 60 with white hair & beard, very healthy, tan & reasonably fit. As a former "flower child & hippie" from San Francisco, I have a great attitude toward life & the pursuit of happiness, but having sailed this boat several years alone, I am tired of "alone". I have NEVER enjoyed the company of men, so Im offering the right woman a home & platform for a unique & bohemian lifestyle.
Full time cruising, with no itinerary, deadlines or commitments (other than to the boat & lifestyle).

Company: Nacho Vidal
Patricia Bysmark, Alana Ferreira, Andreia Mel, Adryana Suzuki, Alexandre Permambulo, Alessandra Braga, Faina Lozada, Andre Santos, Alexandre Senna, Andrea De Oliveira, Andre Ribeiro
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Specialty
Looks like another solid Nacho Vidal-helmed transsexual release full of inspired Brazilian performances - and some kink, as well.
Once Alana Ferreira looses Alexandre Permambulo's bonds, those two get down to some tasty action. Andrea de Oliveira makes good eye contact during her solo, and lets her partner suck her toes while she sits on his chest, feeding him her cock. Best here, however, is the third scene with Andreia Mel. She and her partner trade off in a number of sweat-inducing positions.
It's back to bondage in the finale, as Alessandra Braga and Patricia Bysmark tease their captive unmercifully before feeding their cocks to both ends of him. Look for hot cowgirl and reverse, doggie, spoon and a d.p. ending.
Retailing: Nacho presents both new and familiar faces in this domination-themed t-girl fest.

Hot wieners
Alternative names | New York System wiener, weenie, gagger |
Course | Main course |

Cookbook:Hot wiener Hot wiener |
The hot wiener or New York System wiener[1] is a staple of the food culture of Rhode Island where it is sold at "New York System" restaurants.[2][3]
The traditional wiener is made with a small, thin hot dog made of veal and pork, giving it a different taste from a traditional beef hot dog, served in a steamed bun, and topped with celery salt, yellow mustard, chopped onions, and a seasoned meat sauce (the spices vary by vendor but commonly include cumin, paprika, chili powder, and allspice). A preparation including all of the above is often ordered by patrons as "all the way."[4]
New York System restaurants[edit]
According to Johnson & Wales University professor Jack Chiaro, the name New York System (and less commonly Coney Island System) appeared in Rhode Island in the early 1900s as a marketing strategy when hot dogs were closely associated with New York's Coney Island.[4][5] By the early 1940s a distinctly Rhode Island product and preparation had evolved among Providence's Greek community, popularized within the state such that the "wieners" served by New York Systems today bear little resemblance to the traditional Coney Island hot dog. Restaurateurs continue to use the name as a way to advertise this particular local cuisine.
The question of the oldest New York System is a matter of some debate, with multiple parties making the claim. One of the most widely known is the Olneyville New York System, opened in 1946 and named for Providence's Olneyville neighborhood, but it was the original owner's extended family who operated the Original New York System from 1927 in the Smith Hill neighborhood.[4][6][7] Another institution, Sparky's Coney Island System [now] of East Providence, claims an earlier, albeit contested date of 1915.[5][7]

I'm a carded collector and therefore don't have any points. However the news that it's only for the US sickens me.
Do we not buy the figures? Yes.
Are the points on Canadian figures as well? Yes.
Same crap as the Siver R2-D2. Lousy company.

Sorry sounds like a very poor idea for the Points thing. Oh well congrats go to the person that has the most points saved up since you'll undoubtedly win whatever is auctioned. Yeah, that's disappointing to me. I have a lot of points but I'm sure someone has more of them. I think I may as well toss them in the neighbor's hamster cage.
The initial waves of OT figures sound kind of neat. Especially Riekaan.

I find the Jedi Points deal to be disturbing... My opinion is known. It's an answer for a financially dying franchise really. Check the cutbacks to product in a non-movie year... Wal-Mart is NOT gonna carry Clone Wars product... These are signs of the Star Wars Toy apocolyps... Retail interest is low because retail sales were poor.
Some of the new product is intriguing, and some of the accompanying pictures were great I think, but a lot of this smacks of "too little too late", and the Jedi Points deal is downright offensive to many.
Why release JMP's on Canadian and European packaging if you're going to exclude them immediately? Not that the idea is good to begin with.

I only pray that Jesse's apocalyptic predictions are alarmist, but he's probably right. Either the CW stuff is so successful elsewhere and Wal Mart realizes the error of its ways, or it tanks, and we're all instant internet shoppers.

Well Walmart got the shaft on alot of their exclusives. I think the ones that sold really well were the Max Rebo Band Pairs.
This could be different in other areas but I know here the 12" Dagobah Luke, Cantina Sets, Tie Bombers all pretty much sat until they got marked down to clearance.
If I was a major retailer I would be cautious as well.
I know they keep stocking Star Wars they just won't carry the Clone Wars stuff.

Actually, I think WalMart's case with exclusives was a mixed bag. Just think about what they got in the past year or so...
-POTJ TIE Bomber & Snowspeeder
-SAGA TIE Bomber
-SAGA 12" Luke w/ Yoda
-SAGA Cantina Scenes
-C-3PO & R2-D2 Holiday 2-Pack
-2 x Trash Compactor Screen Scenes
The only ones I saw sit at all for any ammount of time were the Cantina Sets. The SAGA TIE Bombers only stuck around for a little while in some places. Same with the 12" Luke. I didn't see clearance prices on much of any of this stuff.
I think WalMart's new position is more attributable to the SAGA line not selling as well as they would've liked during the movie year.

I was interested in hearing the announcement about the on-line auctions with eBay. However I am already cautious about them. The other day I saw that some enterprising soul has already started auctioning off the Jedi Master Points at the last time I checked the bid was at $20.50. I will bid to try to win something but I'm not going to hold my breath. I think that having the auctions World wide or at least regionally such as all of N. America or Europe or Asia and Australia would have been really interesting. Hopefully, since the first one is a trial Hasbro will expand the opportunity to our fellow collectors around the world.
I am excited about the new figures that will be released this year and then next year also. I think that the deluxe figures will be pretty cool. I'm looking forward to the Bail Organa figure, Tatooine Padme and the Concept Stormtrooper. As for next year's figures I think the Tatooine Jedi Luke will be the ultimate. Wouldn't it be cool if the Luke figure came with two or three right hands: one flesh, one battle damaged, and one gloved. That would be so awesome.
I have been thinking about Wal-Mart and its lack of support for the Star Wars Saga line this year. Who cares! It means I won't have to hit 16 stores on a fruitless run twice a week. However, they could be pretty market savvy in the notion that maybe people will keep them in their run rotation. Each time that Wal-Mart stores have put new merchandise out on the shelves so far this year, it has been snatched up and picked clean within hours to as much as two days max even those with incredibly damaged packaging (ie Trash Compactor Sets with utility knife cuts in the bubble and on the cards and dented bubbles). I'm not talking about last year's leavin's or the Cantina Cinema Scenes which continue to darken the pegs but the new waves of '03. Perhaps they are just keeping us hanging on for the chance at seeing the new items and then they are not stuck with yearlong pegwarmers. While I would like to eliminate them from my frequent haunts while looking for the ever elusive new figures I will probably keep going and going. Personally, I hope the Clone Wars Line goes big and Wal-Mart shoots itself in the foot just so that they might find that they do not determine what drives the retail market.
