MOSCOW -- Gazprom Neft began production at the Badra oilfield in Iraq on May 31.
The central gathering station (CGS) is currently undergoing complex testing of its crude oil processing system. Testing will be completed in three months once enough oil has been accumulated for commercial production to begin. The Badra field will then be ready to reach planned production levels of 15,000 bpd.
New infrastructure for the field's commercial development has been put in place. The CGS's first line has been constructed with a capacity of 60,000 bpd, and in March 2014 the Badra field was connected to the 165-km-long main Iraqi oil pipeline system. Production in the field will reach its peak of 170,000 bpd (around 8.5 million tonnes per year) in 2017 and then remain the same for a period of 7 years.
Vadim Yakovlev, First Deputy CEO of Gazprom Neft said: "Development at the Badra field is one of Gazprom Neft's first international assets in oil production. We launched this project from scratch and over a short period of time have completed all of the complex work necessary for the industrial development of the Badra field.
"The experience of being an operator on this project has further strengthened Gazprom Neft's expertise, which will contribute to work on other new projects, for example in the Near East and other regions where the company is exploring opportunities for further development."

GENIE3 is an algorithm for the inference of gene regulatory networks from expression data. It decomposes the prediction of a regulatory network between p genes into p different regression problems. In each of the regression problems, the expression pattern of one of the genes (target gene) is predicted from the expression patterns of all the other genes (input genes), using tree-based ensemble methods Random Forests or Extra-Trees. The importance of an input gene in the prediction of the target gene expression pattern is taken as an indication of a putative regulatory link.

Recipe for slow cooker Indian-spiced lentils {vegan, gluten-free}
This week, Chelsea, my summer intern, moved into her dorm, where she and three friends will share a suite with a kitchen and a brand new four-quart slow cooker. A few weeks ago, we tested this super-easy, budget-friendly recipe for slow cooker Indian-spiced lentils, paired with a cucumber raita that I'll post here later this week. Lentils, hardy and healthy, take particularly well to the spices that also warm up curries: cumin, coriander, ginger, and garam masala (which contains a bit of each). We used small brown lentils, the kind you can buy in bulk in an Indian grocery, but any brown or red lentils would be perfect. You can make this on the stovetop in a heavy pot or Dutch oven, but the lentils will tend to stick as they absorb liquid, so be sure to stir from time to time. Serve over basmati or brown rice, or add to stew or soup.

Reacting to Apple at CES 2012, part three: Sony, Motorola, RIM, Nokia
Dinosaur exhibits: RIM, Polaroid
At RIM's BlackBerry booth, the company was showing off the products it failed to sell in 2011, including the 7 inch PlayBook, which co-CEO Mike Lazaridis described before it went on sale as being "the perfect size" before also noting that RIM planned to make other sizes as well.
Just months before that, Steve Jobs had predicted that 7 inch tablets would fail, saying, "we think the 7 inch tablets will be dead on arrival, and manufacturers will realize they're too small and abandon them next year. They'll then increase the size, abandoning the customers and developers who bought into the smaller format."
RIM did have its biggest innovation on display however: a BlackBerry version of the App Store capable of charging $4.99 for "Cut The Rope," a fun but simple game that is $0.99 for iOS devices. This is the same game Microsoft oddly chose to demonstrate as being playable on a no-compromise, full power Windows 8 machine.
And then there was Polaroid, a company with a booth primarily devoted to creating paper only, non-digital photographs that look like they were taken in the 1970s. Sadly, there's now an app for that, and Polaroid doesn't even make it; the company just licenses its name for it.

One of the most lasting pleasures you can experience is the feeling that comes over you when you genuinely forgive an enemy - whether he knows it or not.O. A. Battista
Wealth is the ability to fully experience life.Henry David Thoreau
Quality is a direct experience independent of and prior to intellectual abstractions.Robert M. Pirsig
The only source of knowledge is experienceAlbert Einstein
The short lesson that comes out of long experience in political agitation is something like this: all the motive power in all of these movements is the instinct of religious feeling. All the obstruction comes from attempting to rely on anything else. Conciliation is the enemy.John Jay Chapman
The great difficulty in education is to get experience out of ideas.George Santayana
The human race has had long experience and a fine tradition in surviving adversity. But we now face a task for which we have little experience, the task of surviving prosperity.Alan Gregg
I have found life an enjoyable, enchanting, active, and sometime terrifying experience, and I've enjoyed it completely. A lament in one ear, maybe, but always a song in the other.Sean O'Casey
Marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.Samuel Johnson
The friendship between a man and a woman which does not lead to marriage or desire for marriage may be a life long experience of the greatest value to themselves and to all their circle of acquaintance and of activity; but for this type of friendship both a rare man and a rare woman are needed. Perhaps it should be added that either the man or the woman thus deeply bound in lifelong friendship who seeks marriage must find a still rarer man or woman to wed, to make such a three cornered comradeship a permanent success.Anna Garlin Spencer
People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.Eleanor Roosevelt
Experience is the worst teacher. It always gives the test first and the instruction afterward.Unknown
Our experience is composed rathery of illusions that of wisdom acquired.Joseph Roux
For just experience tells, in every soil, That those who think must govern those who toilOliver Goldsmith
Experience needs distance and what you write of at a distance tells not so much what you were like as what you have discovered since.David Wade
You cannot inherit experienceUnknown
Experience is a school where a man learns what a big fool he has beenJosh Billings
Experience is largely non-transferable.Unknown
Experience is what causes a person to make new mistakes instead of old ones.Unknown
Experience teaches us that it is much easier to prevent an enemy from posting themselves than it is to dislodge them after they have got possessionGeorge Washington
Experience is by far the best teacher. You know, ever since I was a little girl I knew that if you look both ways when you cross the street, you'll see a lot more than traffic.Mae West

Yesterday and last night, as many of you did, I watched Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) conduct a filibuster over the nomination of John Brennan for CIA director. At first I thought it was a great way to draw attention to a serious issue, drone strikes on American citizens and it was exactly that. As the day turned into night, I was riveted to my TV specifically CSPAN. I not only watched but Tweeted my thoughts as many others did and also spent a lot of time researching filibusters, history, how one is conducted and so forth.
What a great night for America and Sen. Rand Paul! Along with mainly, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) he kept it up for nearly 13 hours. Being a fan of the old movie "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington" I had never really seen one in real time. It was so amazing to watch and listen to. I knew that Strom Thurmond held the record for a filibuster and I knew that Sen. Paul could not leave the floor and I kept rooting for him to go on and on and hoped to wake up in the morning to see him still going but he had to stop as the video below shows.
Defeated by the bladder! No, really, I think Sen. Paul knew that he had made his point and made it well. President Obama now knows that this will not be as easy as he thought. The GOP has found a backbone and it's called: Rand Paul, Ted Cruz and Mike Lee. We have new leaders and I have renewed hope in my party.
On today's show we are going to play some of the best parts of the filibuster and the weasel Lindsay Graham's excuse for not taking part. We also have a slim hope of having Sen. Mike Lee on the show for a few minutes. I hope you'll join us.
I want to make it VERY clear. I am against drones and drone strikes on American citizens on American soil for ANY reason whatsoever. I #StandWithRand on this issue. I have heard that other Conservative talk shows have talked that these strikes would be helpful to police and military. I say "no way". We have nearly 13 hours of speaking from the Senate floor yesterday to defend what I just said. NO WAY! Not in this Republic!

Tucked away in the Scottsdale Civic Center Mall is a bright and cheery cafe called Orange Table. The concept is breakfast, lunch & barista bar. The food is "fresh & made to order".
I was recently invited to dine at Orange Table and although it's quite a distance from my house I couldn't resist. I would much rather drive an hour for quality food than eat at the mega chains that abound in my neighborhood. So off we went, my husband and I, to enjoy lunch and a late afternoon coffee.
I was very impressed with my Greek salad. It was piled high with veggies, feta cheese, and olives. I know what your thinking: a salad is a salad. What really made this salad special was the house made dressing. It was the perfect balance of oil and vinegar mixed with fresh herbs that could be seen growing on the patio garden.
My husband got the "Rustler".... a grilled chicken breast sandwich topped with provolone, local bacon and made from scratch BBQ sauce. He said both the BBQ sauce and the bacon made this sandwich one of the better ones he's had.
The real treat came after lunch served in a short martini glass. The "shakerto" is an Italian inspired iced coffee drink shaken with cream and a hint of orange. Not quite as frosty as the ones we had on the Amalfi Coast but equally delicious.
Orange Table is a nice little repreive from all of the restaurant chains found around the area. The freshness and quality of food makes it well worth the drive for me.

Message from the Ambassador
Dear readers,
I thought if I wait with the writing of my column until November 8, I will be in a safe position to congratulate the President elect of the United States. Democracy decided otherwise. The people have voted, but we have not been able to read their verdict. Yet the newsletter must goto the printers.
I am glad that I witnessed the election night that will go down in history. It was an exciting lesson in the workings of American democracy. I do not share the glib view that American-style elections are just a meaningless circus for the masses. Important issues are presented to the public and debated. Exposing personal failings of candidates is often gratuitous, but it does reveal something important about their temperament and competence. In short, leaders and ideas are tested in American elections, and even when the better candidate does not win, at least people know what they are getting. I find it preferable to the school of politics that holds that the business of government is too important to be left to the people.
The founder of Czechoslovakia Tomas Garrigue Masaryk took inspiration from American democracy and our society today can only benefit from the give and take of political ideas that goes on here. We have to be present here, to enter into the dialogue of political and cultural ideas.
With this goal in mind we, together with our Slovak colleagues, decided to establish a new tradition of annual Czech and Slovak Lectures that would provide a venue for an eminent American, Czech or Slovak personality to deliver a lecture on a topic of interest to the three societies.
We found a partner in the Wilson Center for International Scholars, and the first lecture takes place on November 9. I am glad that Michael Novak agreed to be the first speaker. As a friend and descendant of Czechs and Slovaks, a man with an excellent record of public service an outstanding public intellectual, Michael Novak is a perfect choice to start the series.
Czechs Are Ready to Assist the New Yugoslavia
The Czech Republic has long maintained close contact with the Serbian opposition and has actively supported its efforts to oust the regime of Slobodan Milosevic. Directly after the first round of elections, President Havel and the Czech diplomacy expressed their support for the democratic forces and, in particular, Vojislav Kostunica, calling on the defeated regime to refrain from any acts of violence. Following the EU initiative, the Czech government lifted sanctions imposed on the FRY (Federal Republic of Yugoslavia) on October 11.
Czech officials were among the first to visit the FRY during the sweeping changes following the elections. On October 8 - 9, Deputy Foreign Minister Martin Palous arrived in Belgrade and Podgorica for meetings with Presidents Kostunica and Djukanovic. He expressed the Czech Republic's readiness to help restore the country and to integrate it into the European mainstream.
Czech Foreign Minister Jan Kavan paid a visit to Belgrade on October 23. He assured President Kostunica that the Czech Republic would support the FRY's reintegration into international institutions and would respect its territorial integrity and sovereignty. He also stressed that the Czech Republic was ready to help recover the Yugoslav economy and reconstruct facilities, such as the Kolubara power plant, that were destroyed during the NATO bombing campaign. President Kostunica acknowledged the valuable Czech experience of transforming a state-run economy and resolving relations within the federation.
Controversy Surrounding Temelin Settles Down
On October 31, Prime Minister Milos Zeman met with Austrian Chancellor Wolfgang Schuessel to calm the dispute over the Temelin power plant. The two officials agreed on new security checks sponsored by the EU. The nuclear power plant has become a contentious issue between the two countries in recent months, as the commencement of the operation drew nearer and Austrian protestors blocked border crossings. On October 11, the controlled fission chain reaction, i.e. the actual start-up of the power plant, was initiated. On October 31, the Czech State Nuclear Safety Office, the chief regulatory body, gave final permission to power the reactor.
According to the latest opinion polls, 59 per cent of Czech respondents agree with the activation of the power station, while many Austrians strongly oppose it. Throughout September and the first of October, thousands of Austrians have repeatedly blocked border crossings shared with the Czech Republic. At the request of Prague, EU Enlargement Commissioner Guenter Verheugen held consultations on the blockades with Foreign Minister Jan Kavan. According to Verheugen, border blockades "neither boost a dialogue nor benefit the free movement of goods." He expressed confidence that the conflict could be solved by bilateral talks.
Austrian officials attempted to bring their complaints against Temelin onto the EU agenda. During an informal EU summit in Biarritz on October 14, Austrian Chancellor Wolfgang Schuessel asked the EU to draft united European standards of nuclear safety. Because the EU does not pursue a common nuclear safety policy and there is no supranational guide, the EU has been reluctant to take sides in this dispute. The Temelin plant, which has been fitted with security equipment supplied by Westinghouse and other Western companies, was given a clean bill of health by the International Atomic Agency.
Austria also threatened to block the Czech accession talks with the EU. On October 30, Austrian Vice-Chancellor Susanne Riess-Passer declared that Austria would not sign the energy chapter of the EU accession negotiations as long as Temelin remained active and no comprehensive security check was undertaken.
Forum 2000 in Prague
Education, Culture and Spiritual Values in the Globalized World was the main topic of the 4th Forum 2000 International Conference, an annual meeting of prominent personalities of politics, culture and religion held in Prague on October 15-18. The conference was organized under the auspices of President Vaclav Havel at Prague Castle, where approximately 60 well-known personalities from around the world, including former Taiwanese president Lee Teng-hui, the Tibetan Dalai Lama, Islamic philosopher Abbas Mohadjerani, musician Peter Gabriel and French political scientist Jacques Rupnik, participated in discussions on different aspects of globalization.
Participants of the conference concluded that globalization can not be clearly and strictly defined. In his opening remarks, President Havel emphasized that in the current era of information, education provides the ability to understand concepts and data in context, and to see their ambiguity. According to British sociologist Anthony Giddens, the driving force of globalization is not only economy and market forces, but also telecommunications. Former South African President Frederick de Klerk pointed out the danger which globalization poses to cultural diversity. The Forum's debate was affected by the outbreak of violence in the Middle East; participants called on top Israeli and Palestinian officials to end violence, return to dialogue and search for a solution to the conflict through peaceful means.
State Decorations Awarded
President Vaclav Havel on the occasion of the National Day of October 28 awarded state decorations to a number of outstanding individuals for their distinguished service to the Czech Republic. Among the honorees of interest to the American public were:
the Order of the White Lion
General Vilem Stanovsky in memoriam
General Stanovsky was among the founders of the Czechoslovak military air force. He was active in resistance during WW II and was jailed by the Germans. After the communist coup in 1948 he was again imprisoned. He was rehabilitated in 1972. Together with presidents Masaryk and Benes he was the only Czech to be awarded the French Legion of Honor Order. The Order of White Lion was accepted by his daughter, Mrs. Eva Jonasova, who resides in Boston.
colonel Pravomil Raichl
He fought in the Czechoslovak Foreign Army in the USSR during WW II. He was jailed by the communists after the 1948 coup, but managed to escape and emigrate to the USA, where he was active in the efforts to bring freedom to Czechoslovakia.
Tomas Garrigue Masaryk Order

Havel on National Identity
President Vaclav Havel delivered an address on the occasion of the National
Day on October 28. The speech, which tackled a number of topics joined by the overarching theme of the Czech national identity at the time of the Czech Republics nearing entry to the European Union, generated considerable attention. Following are excerpts from the address.
In the previous issue of Czech the News we mistakenly said that President Vaclav Havel and his wife during their September stay in New York visited Zlata Praha restaurant and planted a linden there. In fact, it was the garden at Bohemian Hall and Park in Astoria that was visited by the presidential couple. Our apologies to the Bohemian Citizens Benevolent Society of Astoria that runs the Hall.
As it happened, the garden and park was featured in New York Times on November 2. The article titled "Human Nature: A Beer Garden in Astoria Shelters a Lost Era" relates President Havels visit:
"I invited him here when he came to the U.N. conference," said Peter Bisek, the president of the society and editor of the Czech-American newspaper Americke Listy. "So they said, `O.K., half an hour that's it.' He liked it so much, he ordered some goulash and beer and stayed for an hour and a half. We have a picture of him shoveling dirt on the tree."
The article marvels at the charming old-world atmosphere of the beer garden and describes its recent revival thanks to the Societys efforts. Now it has been discovered by trendy young people from Manhattan and it was also nominated for the National Register of Historic Places.
A New SVU Web Site Goes Public
Czechoslovak Society of Arts and Sciences (SVU) is proud to present its exciting new website that can be found at the address www.svu2000.org or SVU2000.org. In contrast to its earlier HomePage (http://feefhs.org/czs/svu/frg-svu.html), the new website is more comprehensive, with such categories as SVU Headline News, Who Are We And What We Do, SVU Calendar, or How to Join SVU. It also features an interactive "SVU Forum."
The website comes about thanks to one of the SVU youngest members, Jiri Eichler of Prague, who has done wonders with the avalanche of material we sent him in a matter of a few days.
Astronaut James Lovell Visits Ancestral Home
James Lovell, commander of the legendary Apollo 13 spacecraft, visited the Czech Republic at the end of October. Lovell, whose ancestors hail from what is today the Czech Republic, presented President Vaclav Havel with a piece of the module in which its crew returned to Earth after a tumultuous and dramatic journey through space. President Havel received Lovell accompanied by the only Czech astronaut, Mr. Vladimir Remek, who had travelled to space in the Soviet space program as the first national of a country other than the United States or the USSR. Mr. Lovell also visited the native village of his ancestors, Dolni Lukavice, where he was welcomed by eight relatives and several hundred locals. His great-grandparents, Jan and Anna Masek, left Dolni Lukavice for the United States at the end of the 19th century.
Lovell, age 72, flew to space four times. He became a living legend in 1970 after the ship that he commanded, the Apollo 13, suffered an explosion which forced the crew to fight for their survival as they eventually steered the crippled ship back to Earth. This odyssey became the subject of the film "Apollo 13," starring Tom Hanks as James Lovell. "Hanks spent about four days with us," said Mr. Lovell in an interview with the Czech daily Dnes. "We talked all the time. He is a nice man. I got to know him quite well." Mr. Lovell is optimistic about the future of space exploration: "I am certain you will see people flying to Mars. But I will not live to see it," he said.

CzechInvest Opens Doors in Silicon Valley
In an attempt to lure high-tech investments into the Czech Republic, the country's investment promotion agency, CzechInvest, is preparing to open a representative office in California's Silicon Valley. The new office, managed by Mr. Radomil Novak, will open in November with the intention of tapping into consumer electronics manufacturing. CzechInvest hopes to garner investment as big-name IT hardware manufacturers increasingly leave the low-margin business of production to electronic manufacturing service (EMS) companies. Several such firms, including Flextronics and Celestica, have already launched assembly lines in the Czech Republic, where labor costs remain low in comparison with the West.
The Silicon Valley branch will be CzechInvest' sixth office overseas. The agency already has offices in London, Paris, Dusseldorf, Yokohama and Chicago. CzechInvest has completed $3.245 billion in FDI projects over the past seven years, demonstrating that money invested does pay off. According to a United Nations report, the country's FDI levels grew 88 percent in 1999, largely due to privatization.
Woodworking Equipment Exhibited in Atlanta
Co-operation with foreign countries is very important for further developing the production of woodworking machines. Immediately after 1990, the majority of Czech woodworking machinery and equipment manufacturers focused on satisfying the demand of their domestic market. At that time, the market demanded machines of a lower category for emerging workshops of tradesmen and small businessmen.
Later, the market for lower category machines became saturated and Czech converters of wood substances began to specialize in certain products. The demand for medium and high category machines, as well as for special technologies began to increase both at home and abroad. Czech manufacturers first communicated with partners from neighboring countries, later extending their activities to far-away markets in Africa, Southeast Asia and the Americas.
For the first time this year, Czech firms participated in the International Woodworking Machinery and Furniture Supply Fair (IWF) in Atlanta, GA this past August. Focused exclusively on a professional audience, this trade fair belongs among the largest exhibition events in this sector of the United States. Czech exporters offered machinery for small and medium size joiner's workshops, as well as equipment for large technology units, e.g. saw mills, drying rooms, construction and joinery workshops, and furniture production. The Czech products were placed in the top level for their technical parameters and quality while maintaining favorable price relations as compared to foreign competitors.
The organization of the trade fair was secured in part on the Czech side by joint stock company Rapid and by the Czech-American Chamber of Commerce in Atlanta on the American side. Fourteen Czech firms presented their products at the fair; many found potential business partners, while others concluded multi-million dollar contracts or launched new businesses. The indisputably successful debut of the Czech woodworking equipment manufacturers was made possible with the help of the pro-export subsidy of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce of the Czech Republic.
INVEX Tradeshow, October 9 - 11, 2000
On October 9 - 11, the city of Brno hosted the annual Invex tradeshow, often regarded by industry leaders as the most important high-tech information technology event in Central and Eastern Europe. The exhibition provides an excellent opportunity for both corporations to address the consumers and the companies concentrating on the "B2B - business to business" sector. This year's Invex recorded the highest attendance ever, with the number of local and foreign visitors reaching over 40,000 daily.
Per tradition, the tradeshow organizers and industry representatives select and give awards to various products exhibited at the event. Among the products selected this year, various companies received awards, such as: AMD, Sodat Software, Canon, Eurotel, Hewlett Packard, Compaq, Lingea, Toshiba, Zoner Software, Atlas.cz, Microsoft and MultiMedia Computer. Professional audiences were also extremely interested in the international conference "Information for the 21st century." The BUSINESS TO BUSINESS Pavilion was one of the new projects at the INVEX 2000 trade fair. In this Pavilion, the organizers made the fair more accessible to exhibitors by focusing, first and foremost, on professional partners from the public administration and private sector. Once again, the Brno fairgrounds, with its ideal conditions for marketing information technology, served as an excellent venue. Many affiliates of US companies based in Europe also took advantage of this event.
Cabinet Presents Utility Privatization Plan
The Czech government successfully cleared the hurdle on the privatization of its major industrial blue chips at its meeting on October 4. The country's top energy producer, CEZ, will be sold along with six energy distributors. The government will hire advisers for both the sales of the energy package and the petrochemical giant Unipetrol.
Simultaneously, the government reached an agreement with Deutsche Telekom over an earlier payment of a $550 million option on mobile operator RadioMobil, which was blocking the privatization of its mother company, Ceske Radiokomunikace. However, some of the decisions were met with criticism from analysts who questioned whether such privatization models would work and if they were worth waiting for. Although analysts welcomed the government's efforts to bring foreign strategic investors in, they remain skeptical of the merits of a state-organized consolidation versus one driven by market forces.
The sale could bring between Kc 300 billion-400 billion into the state budget, with an estimated Kc 100 billion for energy companies. Nearly half of that amount is expected for the gas sector, whose privatization is scheduled for later this fall. Unipetrol, which is in the process of acquiring smaller related companies such as the Paramo refinery, the pipeline operator CEPRO, the chemical manufacturers Spolana Neratovice and AliaChem, could bring in at least Kc 7 billion-16 billion, according to analysts' estimates.
Czech Telecom could bring in roughly Kc 120 billion-160 billion, while Radiokomunikace is expected to fetch approximately Kc 40 billion. Additionally, the state is expecting roughly Kc 40 billion for the sale of its 60 percent stake in the No. 2 financial group Komercni Banka, the sale of which should be completed some time next year.
Czech Software Breaktrough in US Market
The US branch of the Czech company Tiny Software was selected to supply security software, developed in the Czech Republic, to US Air Force computers. At a press conference in Prague, the representatives of the Pilsen based Tiny Software Co. did not disclose the value of the contract. However, they did conform that the cooperation was the result of their decesion to move to Silicon Valley at the right time.
Business Digest
Charlotte Garrigue Masaryk
Sixty-seven years ago, Tomas Garrigue Masaryk stated in his last will and testament that it was his wife, Charlotte, whose influence drove him to become the man that he was. The original First Lady of the newly independent Czechoslovakia, Charlotte Garrigue Masaryk was the intellectual equal, friend, and wife to the nations first president.
Born to a wealthy New York family 150 years ago, on November 20, 1850, Charlotte was raised in the Post-Civil War era of America where independence, talent and intelligence were nurtured and encouraged in young women. At the age of eighteen, Charlotte left America to study at the Music Conservatory in Leipzig, Germany. Though partial paralysis in her hand forced an early end to her career as a musician, she nurtured her love for music and Central Europe throughout the rest of her life. It was on a return visit to Leipzig that the young Charlotte met her future husband, Tomas Masaryk. With her sharp blue-gray eyes and stately presence, as well as her keen sense of identity, equality and religion, Masaryk was immediately taken with Charlotte.
They married in Brooklyn in 1878. True to their shared belief in the equality of the sexes, Masaryk took his wife's name. They eventually settled in Prague to raise their family. There, the two reared their five children in the modern atmosphere that they created of a democratic marriage and loving companionship, meanwhile immersing themselves in the Czech culture and heritage. She learned Czech and even translated John Stuart Mill.
As Tomas Masaryk composed his political articles, Charlotte was invariably present to proofread, edit, or add her own thoughts. Though she led a political life of her own, she always remained a strong pillar for her husband and family to lean on, from the tribulations of World War I to her husbands subsequent presidency. For the forty-five years of their marriage, Charlotte was a unique thinker and activist of her own accord, yet until her death in 1923, she always remained precisely as her husband described her -- his closest collaborator.
booknote: 101 Artists in the Post-Revolution Czech Republic
Chad Evans Wyatts photographic work is well known to the readers of Czech the News, who have encountered his "Artist of the Month" portraits in every issue, as well as to the visitors of the Czech Embassy in Washington, DC. Now a collection of his photographs of contemporary Czech artists is finally available as a book titled "101 Artists in the Post-Revolution Czech Republic."
Wyatt is an American photographer whose first models were jazz musicians. Through his wife he became interested in the Czech lands and witnessed the aftermath of the Velvet revolution. "The question on everyones mind was in the early 90's when I arrived was not whether the Prague of Masaryk, Kafka, Capek, Voskovec & Werich, Janacek, the magnificent Prague Spring, was to be reborn from the ashes of communism, but when," he writes in his preface.
According to Miroslav Vojtechovsky of the Prague Academy of Film and Photography, who wrote an introductory essay for the publication, "these are pictures that strive for a broad validity within the fraction of an instant. Wyatts approach to his models is modest, even reverent, and in any case it is proportional to the inexperience of the Czech lands leading figures in posing before a camera and to their discomfort with respect to their own success." Vojtechovsky goes on to say that "Wyatt reminds us of the better part of the tradition of Czech photography, while politely pointing out that we should carefully perceive those personalities who enhance the quality of our lives and while teaching us, by way of these personalities, to have respect for our own history."

Artist of the Month
Presented by Chad Evans Wyatt's Projekt Praha 2000
The writer, screenwriter, journalist and Politician Eva Kanturkova (1930) grew up in a Communist family, and was much influenced by its ideals in her early years. In the 1960s her first books were published and she rapidly "cured herself" of her former illusions about the regime. When, in the 1970s, she was banned from publishing and her writings could only come out in samizdat or emigré ditions, she also became involved in politics and protest. She signed Charter 77 and was its spokesperson in 1985. After her collection of interviews with women dissidents We Met in this House was published abroad and a French vehicle carrying banned literature was stopped on the Czechoslovak border, she was charged with subversion of the Republic and arrested in May 1981. She was held in prison without trial until March 1982 (although the charges were not dropped until December 1989, when the Communist regime collapsed in Czechoslovakia). After the end of totalitarian rule, she logically entered Parliament. She drew on her prison experiences when writing her best-known book, the documentary novel Friends from the House of Sadness, which was also published abroad; a television film based on the novel received a prize at the International Television Festival in Cannes in 1992. In almost all her writings, Eva Kanturkova emphasizes the relationship between individuals and history, and between people and political structures.

FRIDAY! Whoo-hoo!
Gotta gotta love Fridays!Had piano lessons this morning and did okay, but I kept on messing up. I also have a "4th finger cave-in" on both hands, but it's worse on the right. Apparently I am double-jointed. Anyway, I need to stop my cave-in, which is going to be about a month of hard work (my piano teacher said). I'm thinking of just attaching wire so it can't bend to cave-in. Who knows.Other than that, I plan on doing mostly nothing the rest of the day. It's so lovely out... Spring is finally here!

IDEV's Pivotal SUPERB Trial Demonstrates SUPERA® Stent Significantly Exceeds VIVA Criteria For One-Year Patency In Femoropopliteal Artery Disease
The SFA and proximal popliteal artery are exposed to significant mechanical stress with bending and rotation of the knee, which represents a harsh environment for any endovascular device. An ideal stent for use in these areas should offer a significant range of motion without interrupting the anatomical function of the arteries.
"SUPERA is first in a new class of stents engineered with an interwoven wire technology that best mimics vascular anatomy. These results challenge the current dogma of other stent and drug-eluting stent technologies to achieve optimal and durable femoropopliteal arterial patency," noted co-primary investigator Lawrence Garcia, M.D., Chief, Interventional Cardiology and Vascular Interventions at Steward St. Elizabeth's Medical Center.
"The SUPERA stent design may offer physicians a new option to treat significant disease states in one of the fastest growing markets, which is driven by diabetes, obesity, sedentary lifestyles, an aging population and improved detection," stated Christopher M. Owens, President and CEO of IDEV. "Therapies must have both clinical evidence and an economic benefit approach; SUPERA has significant unmatched advantages in both of these categories. We are extremely pleased with the results from the SUPERB pivotal IDE Trial, which are consistent with other large data sets that are being presented on SUPERA at the VIVA conference."
Data from the SUPERB trial will be utilized for IDEV's premarket approval (PMA) application with the FDA, which the Company anticipates filing in the fourth quarter of 2012. The SUPERB trial data is consistent with and validates the numerous reported single-center registries and retrospective studies and is an exciting piece of the growing wide-body of clinical evidence that IDEV is delivering on SUPERA."SUPERB enrollment and follow up rates were well beyond the stated study goal and ensure that results are credible and that the study was performed to the highest current standards," said Laura Mauri of Harvard Clinical Research Institute (HCRI). About SUPERBThe SUPERB Trial (Comparison of the SUPERA PERipheral System to a Performance Goal Derived from Balloon Angioplasty Clinical Trials in the Superficial Femoral Artery) is an FDA approved IDE trial to evaluate SUPERA in treating patients with obstructive SFA disease. SUPERB data analysis was performed independently and validated by the Harvard Clinical Research Institute (HCRI).
