| Mr. Michael Heim Slavic Languages and Literature Faculty 115 Kinsey Hall UCLA, Los Angeles, CA Dear Mr. Heim: We noticed with dismay that the UCLA Library still uses the definition "Serbo-Croat" as a language at the Slavic Languages Faculty. Please note that the Croatian language existed already when the Croats (not Serbs) arrived in present day Croatia in the seventh century, long before Yugoslavia, - comprising Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia, - was established after WWI. The dominating Serbs imposed on Croatians the so-called "Serbo-Croatian" which did not exist as a language before. The Croatian and Serbian languages are similar, but not the same in many aspects. There were Serb words that were forced into the Croatian language, but these have been abandoned since the breakup . We respectfully urge you to separate the two languages at the Slavic Languages section in the Library and at the Faculty. Thank you. Sincerely, Hilda M.

| Dear All, This is another example where the letter for the right definition of our language should be sent. Also in this letter you can find this amazing possibility to translate Croatian into major languages and vice versa. Please check this out. There should be a team of people in Croatian National Library, who should just go and search places where they write things that are incorrect and correct them. 1, Please right a polite letter to this company and ask them to change their definition of Croatian language. 2. Check one of the CDs. Do they do the job? best, Nenad service@worldlanguage.com (Email address that you should write to) http://www.worldlanguage.com/Languages/Croatian.htm Introduction -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Croatian is that form of Serbo-Croatian spoken by Yugoslavia's Croatian population and written in the Roman alphabet. Except for their scripts, Croatian and Serbian are really the same language, though a slightly different intonation or the use of a certain word will sometimes indicate whether one is a Serb or a Croat. For the word "train" the Serbs generally say voz as against Croatian viak, while for "dance" the Serbs prefer igra and the Croatians pies. For "music" the Serbs say muzika as against Croatian glazba, while for "theater" there is Serbian pozoriste and Croatian kazaliste. In each casc, however, both alternatives are understood perfectly well by everyone. *** Products Search Results Language: Croatian Function: Translation There are several of types of Translation software utilities available.

| http://www.dailysoccer.com/article.php?Article=82830 Goalless Croatian and Slovenian preparation for World Cup ZAGREB, Croatia, March 27 (DSA) - Second consecutive goalless draw in friendly matches causes worry for the Croatian national team. Today Croats drew with Slovenia in a friendly. ''I could tell that this game was more solid than the one against Bulgaria in February'', commented Croatian national coach Mirko Jozic as both, Croatia and Slovenia realized Wednesday's match as serious test before World Cup in Korea and Japan. Possession of ball goes 53% to 47% in favor of Croats, but very confident Slovenians did not give much of chances to their opponents confirming they want to be very fit before World Cup debut. There were almost no chances for both sides as two teams played sure in defense. Hosts Croatia waited till 44th minute of the first half for a header of Bayer Leverkusen Boris Zivkovic. Robert Jarni of Panathinaikos assisted well, but Zivkovic's ball passed close to the bar. Similar situation was observed in the second half. Croats dominated the game, but did not succeed to score. Slovenians did it three times, but that was rather a good exercise for Croatian goalkeeper Tomislav Butina. Croatian first division leading scorer Ivica Olic had a good chance in 76th minute. Davor Vugrinec of Lecce assisted with a ball in empty space, however, Olic did not manage to keep it in an open route to Slovenian goal. Both teams took a friendly very seriously, so there was a lot of tension, too. That reduced chances for a play that would cheer up the crowd of some 9000. Therefore 6000 hosting fans and 3000 Slovenians were teasing each other for most of the match. Some slight incidents on a tribune were however prevented by the police. "Hope we will finally score in our next friendly with Bosnia and Herzegovina'', revealed Croatian national team star Davor Suker. After a long period Munich 1860 striker Suker started a match from the beginning playing as a forward together with Middlesbrough's Alen Boksic. Distributed by www.CroatianWorld.net.

| Dear Roots of Peace Supporters, Please watch this week's episode on THE WEST WING, as it features the dilemma of the landmine issue. This popular show is poised to raise national landmine awareness on this humanitarian issue. The attached e-mail from our Advisory Board Member Jerry White depicts further details. Please forward this information to your constituents. Thank you. Sincerely, Heidi Kuhn President & Founder Roots of Peace -----Original Message----- From: Landmine Survivors Network Subject: LSN urges you to watch this week's The West Wing on Wednesday From: Globalvision FROM ROOTS OF PEACE: WATCH WEST WING TONIGHT During my brief sabbatical from this log, I stopped in Northern California to meet with an exceptional woman and an exiting new peace initiative called ROOTS OF PEACE. This group was the brainchild of a San Rafael mom and former journalist named Heidi Kuhn who has mobilized her community behind a campaign to remove land mines that menace millions world wide. Heidi has found support from 400 California vintners and Wine Companies under the slogan "MINES INTO VINES." It is a impressive undertaking that is already working at reclaiming land in the war torn areas of Croatia. It is a fabulous organizing model linking private, public and community institutions. Heidi writes this morning to urge Americans at least to watch the popular prime time dramatic series on NBC, WEST WING. It is on tonight: "Tune in to The West Wing on Wednesday, March 27. President Bartlet is confronted by a challenge to his leadership: will he step up to ban landmines and save thousands of innocent lives? In the time it takes to watch the show, somewhere in the world, 3 people "will step on a landmine. Some will lose arms and legs and others will die. "The Poet Laureate of America visits The West Wing and tries to persuade Bartlet to join the ban. In real life our President needs to hear from YOU. "The Bush administration is currently reviewing the United States policy on landmines, and a decision on this review is imminent. This is a historic opportunity for President Bush to courageously lead our country to a mine-safe world by banning landmines today. "Send President Bush an email. Time is running out. Let President Bush know that you believe landmines do more harm than good on the modern battlefield." Interesting isn't that an entertainment show is raising this issue while news programs and documentary series ignore it! That's a comment on media if there ever was one.
