Meet the Faces of SMU
Chad Cohen
"At SMU, we don't tailgate, we 'boulevard'" says finance major Chad Cohen, describing the community ritual associated with each Mustang home football game, which is like a large, loud festival stretching from one end of Bishop Boulevard to the other.
"Boulevarding," as it's known on the Hilltop, is definitely a celebration. "It provides students with the opportunity to see the pageantry and school spirit of SMU on display," Chad says. "It brings together the SMU community in a very special way, and it allows students, alumni, faculty and parents to feel connected to the University. Everyone comes out and has a great time."

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Skip Prosser walked down the ramp leading onto the Pit floor where 18,000-plus fans waited to jeer Wake Forest. Just before emerging, he turned and said, "no one can say I'm afraid of playing anyone."
"Maybe they can say I'm not smart about it, but I'm not afraid."
You know, he's right.
The rest of his ACC brethren should take Prosser's cue and realize that the path to a stronger and tougher team is usually built on the road, not playing a soft schedule at home. Sure, neutral-site games against average competition is nice. But while Georgia Tech was willing to lose to Gonzaga in Las Vegas and Maryland lost to co-host GW in its BB&T Classic, nobody in the nation's toughest confernence is making life tougher on itself.
The latest venture for Wake Forest was here to the Pit, where New Mexico had won 22 of the last 24 games overall and 14 straight non-conference games. And, get this, the risk came with a reward. Wake Forest kept the Lobos at bay before a raucous crowd, winning 81-64 in a game that was chippy and down to three points with 13 minutes remaining.
Sure, the Demon Deacons (10-1) got crushed at Illinois in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge. But they also won at Temple last week, and they still go to Cincinnati on Jan. 22.
Add it all up and Wake Forest is the only ACC team to play four true non-conference games (that's on an opponent's home court).
Duke plays one, at St. John's.
Maryland played its only one, at Wisconsin in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge.
Georgia Tech, Miami, and N.C. State each play two, while Clemson, Florida State, North Carolina, Virginia and Virginia Tech play three each.
Prosser said all he's doing is following the orders of NCAA Tournament selection chair Bob Bowlsby, the athletic director at Iowa.
"Bowlsby said that if you go on the road and play quality teams, you'll be rewarded, and I believe that to be true," Prosser said. "I'm not presuming or assuming that we're going to be in the NCAA Tournament, but this should lead credence to our resume. These players challenge our players to stick together. It was 30 of us, against 18,000 of them."
Actually, there were only about five Wake Forest fans visible, each sitting behind New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, which appeared to have limited their ability to cheer too wildly.
"Most teams right now are playing dogs," said Wake Forest junior guard Justin Gray, who tweaked his knee in this game, limped off the floor, only to return to nail a critical 3-pointer in the second half.
"We don't look at the other (ACC) teams, but it's in the back of our minds that they're playing smaller schools and not challenging themselves. Games like this will really help us down the stretch."
Prosser's choice of playing New Mexico was unique. Elite teams (Wake is No. 4 in the latest ESPN/USA Today poll) don't go on the road to a hostile environment, against a potential conference favorite without television or some other reason like recruiting or a home game for a player. The Demon Deacons did get Albuquerque guard Harvey Hale, but he won't be in Winston-Salem until next season when this series is over. No, Prosser said he chose the series with New Mexico to develop Wake Forest's national appeal and to challenge this year's squad yet again.
"I thought this team could respond to challenges, whereas other teams I might not feel that same way," Prosser said.
The Demon Deacons were savvy enough to know that this was a tough venue. They were welcomed to their locker room with a daunting sign:
"Warning Acute Altitude Sickness (A.A.S.)"
"Symptoms include shortness of breath, dizziness ... feels like the flu ... immediate medical attention might be required."
"The places we go in the ACC are just like this," Wake Forest sophomore guard Chris Paul said. "Here they try to influence you with the high altitude [5,000 feet]. They've got that sign right over here in the locker room. This is just like Maryland and Duke, maybe louder, but certainly just as loud.
"One time I was running up the court and told [teammate] Trent Strickland that I felt something pop in my ear. I was scared for a second. I'm glad coach scheduled this game."
The Demon Deacons missed free throws (10 of 26) but defended the Lobos as well as any team this season (5 of 27 on 3s for a team that was shooting 39.4 percent). When New Mexico's Sean Phaler tried to block out Paul at the free-throw line with 20.1 seconds left and fell on him, Paul walked away instead of getting in Phaler's face. There already had been a few chest-up face-offs throughout the game.
"Wake was like a veteran ACC team that never got rattled," New Mexico coach Ritchie McKay said.
That wasn't the case when the Demon Deacons went to Illinois. They were out of the game early and often, getting down as many as 32 points.
Following the game, Prosser met with Paul, Gray and senior Taron Downey.
"We should be in at least every game, but against Illinois that didn't happen," Prosser said. "We lost contact with Illinois in that game. I told those guys that they couldn't shoot their way out of trouble. They have to execute their way out of trouble."
Wake Forest did that Wednesday night. The Deacs will likely have to do the same on several nights in the ACC, and once more in their final non-conference road game at Cincinnati.
"This is going to give us an advantage," Wake Forest junior Eric Williams said. "We don't just play road games, we play road games against good teams. We lost one, but we've played in two very, very, very loud arenas... in Illinois and now this one."

As of Sunday, February 23, 2014

ALBANY — Retail giant Walmart is slated to open in Worth County later this year, bringing with it the potential for new jobs and increased revenue for the county. It also brings concerns for the future to some local business owners.
Construction is underway on the estimated 75,000-square-foot store, located on U.S. Highway 82 in the Worth County Industrial Park on the eastern border of the city, with hopes that the store will open in May.
Once open, the Sylvester Walmart looks to employ 75 to 100 people, as well as generate an estimated $100,000 in ad valorem and inventory taxes, things that could have a significant impact on the community.
According to Sylvester-Worth County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Karen Rackley, 65 percent of Sylvester's residents work out of town, meaning they do a lot of their spending out of town as well, something which leaders hope will change once Walmart opens its doors locally.
"A considerable number of us work out of town," Rackley said. "They're here in the morning and back here in the evening. To make things easier, a lot of people do their shopping after work before they come home. We want to keep their shopping dollars at home."
While the increase in jobs and tax revenue are definitely a plus, Rackley understands there are some in the community who aren't thrilled to see the retail giant come to town. Many have expressed concerns about the impact Walmart will have on smaller, locally owned businesses.
"It's scaring a lot of people and they have a right to be concerned," Rackley said. "There are some drawbacks, but lots of positives. It's all in how you look at it."
Rackley said the Chamber is encouraging people to continue their normal shopping habits and patterns and to continue to patronize local businesses that have served them in the past. Rackley points to the organization's efforts to promote local local shopping through its Stop N Shop program, which encourages Chamber members to do business with each other and the community to think about local vendors before choosing to shop out of town.
"Hometown value does not go away," said Rackley. "I would encourage anybody to shop the way they're shopping cause 'We're Worth It.'"
While Rackley sees the arrival of Walmart as mostly positive, there are some in the community that have been vocal about their opposition to the retailer locating in Worth County.
Jackie Clayton, co-owner of Cindy's Flower and Gift Shop, and lifelong resident of Sylvester, feels that regardless of what leaders say, she thinks Walmart's presence will hurt smaller retailers.
"I was so upset about the whole deal when it first came out," Clayton said. "My concern is for other businesses in this community. These little mom and pops are going to feel it. It's just a case of the pie's only so big. The local businesses are going to suffer.
Clayton said she feels because her store is a specialty store that does things Walmart doesn't that her business won't be impacted as much as some.
"We'll survive because it's service we offer," said Clayton. "They don't do arrangements, they don't deliver."
Irvin Hatcher, owner of Worth Hardware, agrees, saying that Walmart's presence will hurt many businesses, including his.
"I hate to see them come," said Hatcher. "It's really going to hurt. People don't trade with the local merchants."
Much like Clayton, however, Hatcher feels he can offer expertise and a level of service the large retailer can't provide.
"I have a lot of customers that come in that don't know how to do plumbing or electrical, so I lead them through it," said Hatcher. "I don't think (Walmart) will have anybody there to do that."
Despite the concerns of some, Walmart is moving forward and has begun taking applications for people interested in working for the company.
Currently the company is occupying a store front in downtown Sylvester where it conducts the application and hiring process.
According to Jennifer Calhoun, the store manager, the company will be hiring both full and part time associates and will accept applications at the 114 North Main St. location from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday.
Once hiring is complete, associates are set to begin work in April to prepare for the store's grand opening.

J. Pediatr. Otorhinolaryngol. 75 (November (11)) (2011) 1399–1403]International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology 02/2012; 76(2):305. DOI:10.1016/j.ijporl.2011.11.017 · 1.32 Impact Factor
Article: Activity of soluble aminopeptidase A and dipeptidyl peptidase IV and membrane-bound aminopeptidase B and pyroglutamyl peptidase I in adenoid hyperplasia, tonsillar hyperplasia and chronic tonsillitis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To analyze soluble and membrane-bound peptidase activities in the tonsils and adenoids removed from patients with adenoid hyperplasia, tonsillar hyperplasia and chronic tonsillitis. A total of 48 tissue samples from patients undergoing adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy for adenoid hyperplasia, tonsillar hyperplasia or chronic tonsillitis were analyzed. The catalytic activity of a pool of peptidases in the soluble (dipeptidyl peptidase IV, aminopeptidase A, aminopeptidase N and cystinyl aminopeptidase) and membrane-bound (prolyl endopeptidase, aspartyl aminopeptidase, aminopeptidase B and pyroglutamyl peptidase I) fractions was measured fluorometrically. The activity of membrane-bound aminopeptidase B was higher in cases of chronic tonsillitis and adenoid hyperplasia than in tonsillar hyperplasia, p=0.004. Soluble dipeptidyl peptidase IV and membrane-bound pyroglutamyl peptidase I were found to be more active in tissues from male chronic tonsillitis tissues, p<0.05, while membrane-bound aminopeptidase B activity was higher in tissues of females with tonsillar hyperplasia, p<0.001. In the case of chronic tonsillitis, soluble aminopeptidase A was found to have a higher level of activity in tissues from children than those from adults, p=0.005. Our results suggest a potential role of soluble aminopeptidase A, soluble dipeptidyl peptidase IV, membrane-bound aminopeptidase B and membrane-bound pyroglutamyl peptidase I in the pathobiology of adenoid hyperplasia, tonsillar hyperplasia and chronic tonsillitis that is differently regulated as a function of gender. These finfings may modify in the future the clinical approach to these diseases.International journal of pediatric otorhinolaryngology 09/2011; 75(11):1399-403.

Article: Management of chylous fistula as a complication of neck dissection: a 10-year retrospective review[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Chylous fistula is a serious complication of neck surgery. The aim of this study was to analyse the incidence, treatment and evolution of chylous fistula in neck dissection. We conducted a retrospective study of 304 patients, 295 (97.03%) men and nine (2.97%) women. Ages ranged from 24 to 80 years (mean = 59.28 years, SD = 6.02) and they had all undergone neck dissection. Chylous fistula occurred in four cases (1.31%). Incidence was 1.83% in laryngeal cancer and 2.7% in oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancer. No statistically significant correlation was found between tumoral stage and fistula occurrence. Radiotherapy prior to surgery was a risk factor although the association was not statistically significant. The incidence rates for radical and functional neck dissection were 3.3% and 0.46%, respectively, statistically significant (P = 0.042). The fistulas were located on the left side in all cases. One of the four patients required surgical intervention and another one died. The occurrence of chylous fistula increased significantly the length of hospital stay (P = 0.01). Chylous fistulas appear on the left side, radiotherapy prior to surgery is a risk factor and there is not correlation with tumoral stage. Chylous fistulas are significantly more common in radical than in functional dissections and increase significantly the length of hospital stay.European Journal of Cancer Care 07/2010; 19(4):510-5.

ABSTRACT: Prolyl endopeptidase (EC 18.104.22.168) (PEP) is a serine peptidase that converts several biologically active peptides. This enzyme has been linked to several neurological, digestive, cardiovascular and infectous disorders. However, little is known about its involvement in neoplastic processes. This study analyzes fluorimetrically cytosolic and membrane-bound PEP activity in a large series (n=122) of normal and neoplastic tissues from the kidney, colon, oral cavity, larynx, thyroid gland and testis. Cytosolic PEP activity significantly increased in clear cell renal cell carcinoma, urothelial carcinoma of the renal pelvis and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Both cytosolic and membrane-bound PEP activity were also increased in colorectal adenomatous polyps. These data suggest the involvement of PEP in some mechanisms that underlie neoplastic processes.Regulatory Peptides 03/2010; 163(1-3):102-6. DOI:10.1016/j.regpep.2010.03.012 · 2.01 Impact Factor
Article: Increased APN/CD13 and acid aminopeptidase activities in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Involvement of peptidases in carcinogenic processes of several tumor types has been investigated in recent years. Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide and accounts for more than 90% of all head and neck cancers. Increased understanding of its pathophysiology has led to implication of several proteinases, specially matrix metalloproteinases, in its genesis, growth, and dissemination. However, very little is known about involvement of peptidases in this neoplasm. Seventeen HNSCC tissue samples were selected for the study. Tumor and normal tissue samples were frozen for enzymatic study. The catalytic activity for a pool of peptidases (PSA, APN/CD13, APB, APA, Asp-AP, CAP, DPPIV/CD26, NEP/CD10, and PGI) was measured fluorometrically. The activity of 2 cell surface aminopeptidases (APN/CD13 and APA) and a cytosolic aminopeptidase (Asp-AP) was significantly increased in HNSCC tissues. These data show the involvement of cell surface and cytosolic peptidases in the mechanisms underlying HNSCC.Head & Neck 10/2009; 31(10):1335-40. DOI:10.1002/hed.21099 · 3.01 Impact Factor
Article: Efficacy of selective percutaneous embolization for the treatment of intractable posterior epistaxis and juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Percutaneous embolization reduces the reappearance of epistaxis and the mean length of hospital stay for patients with intractable epistaxis or juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA). To assess whether percutaneous embolization is effective for the treatment of intractable epistaxis and JNA. Twenty-eight patients with intractable posterior epistaxis treated by embolization (25 males; m = 59.78 years; SD = 14.3) and 28 unembolized patients (24 males; m = 59.21 years; SD = 15.13) were studied retrospectively. Eight patients with JNA (all males; mean = 16.5 years; SD = 2.35; four embolized before surgery and four unembolized) were also analyzed. Embolization was bilateral in 71.4% of subjects, blood transfusion was required in 28.57%, incidence of complications was 53.57%, and seven of the embolized patients with intractable epistaxis suffered from recurrence of the epistaxis. There were no statistically significant differences between the embolized and unembolized groups. The mean hospital stay was longer in unembolized patients (4.46 days; SD = 2.42) than for the embolized patients (3.78 days; SD = 3.9), p=0.394. The most serious complications occurred in patients embolized with idiopathic epistaxis and the mean post-embolization hospital stay was longer in this subgroup (4.14 days; SD = 4.39) than in patients with Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome (2.40 days; SD = 1.140), p=0.395. Unembolized patients with JNA presented greater hemorrhage (m = 2025 ml; SD = 325) and a longer mean hospital stay (m = 18 days; SD = 3) than the group of embolized patients (m = 360 ml; SD = 185 and m = 9 days; SD = 1, respectively).Acta oto-laryngologica 01/2009; 129(12):1456-62.

ABSTRACT: SUMMARY: BACKGROUND: Metastatic tumors account for less than 1% of all malignant tumors occurring in the oral cavity. CASE REPORT: The clinical case of a 94-year-old patient with a mandibular tumor is reported here. The patient had undergone bilateral mastectomy more than 25 years before. An immunohistochemical study found hormone receptors in signet ring cells, suggesting a diagnosis of breast cancer metastasis. CONCLUSION: Immunohistochemical diagnosis and antineoplastic hormone therapy is the cornerstone in the management of this clinical case.Breast Care 01/2009; 4(3):192-194.

Article: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the temporal bone: a histologically nonmalignant lesion with fatal outcome.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Introduction: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMFT) of the temporal bone is an unusual but distinct clinicopathologic entity. Case Report: We report the case of a 75-year-old patient with an IMFT located in the temporal bone. Symptoms included VI, X, XI, and XII cranial nerves palsies. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance images are described. The lesion was locally aggressive and outcome was fatal. IMFT was identified by analysis of postmortem specimen with histopathologic and immunohistochemical confirmation. Discussion: IMFT can be locally destructive lesions. Involvement of the skull base and cervical spine is indistinguishable from an aggressive infection or a malignant tumor and can be fatal as in our case report. The difficulties in establishing clinicopathologic diagnosis, radiological imaging characteristics, and treatment are discussed.Skull Base Surgery 10/2008; 18(5):339-43.

Holidays in PlasticvilleSubmitted by Fun at Foster on December 20, 2013 - 9:34am
A new holiday tradition appeared in late 1940s post-war America: the traditional cardboard buildings of the nation's earlier train layouts and under-the-holiday-tree displays were gradually replaced by—you guessed it—plastic.
Now Plasticville is called "a small piece of Americana that has become a traditional favorite of collectors world-wide."
What began in 1947 with a simple fence to be used under the tree soon evolved into a collection of small, detailed edifices designed for use with the popular electric trains of the period.
|Train layout with Lionel train and Plasticville, Harrisburg, PA, circa 1959
One key to Plasticville's popularity, aside from its cool retro look, was its "no glue" format and the fact that the various structures were assembled with a "snap-together" construction that also meant they could be taken apart and stored more easily and safely (plus, they were a lot of fun to put together).
In 1952 the Philadelphia-based Bachman Industries patented its "snap" format, and the rest is history. Models ranging from ranch houses to super markets, gas stations, and other 1950s essentials quickly followed.
Several websites devoted to P-ville collectors and the company's history are available.
I remember that my father's first holiday train layouts used the quaint cardboard buildings that he must have spent many a late night assembling (though I'm sure he also enjoyed that). None of these fragile items have survived, but Plasticville made the trip from Harrisburg, PA, to Ventura and now appears, on a somewhat less grand scale, under a California holiday tree, bringing with it a lot of fond and sometimes poignant memories.

Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow?Submitted by Fun at Foster on December 13, 2013 - 3:29pm
With all of our modern conveniences, like smart phones, the internet, and flat screen TVs, it's easy to forget that there was a time when none of these things even existed. I can remember growing up with typewriters instead of computers, record players instead of CD players, and rotary phones instead of cell phones, but there was a time even beyond that, when such technology wasn't even yet a dream.
That is the focus of Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow? by Brian Fies. It begins in 1939 at the New York World's Fair, when people believed the future would consist of talking robots, flying cars, and highways leading to great cities of democracy and peace. Seen through the eyes of a father and his young son, it shows the boy's excitement of a promising future, while showing a father's trepidation of a future where he may not fit in.
As the book progresses, it marks the scientific progress being made, all the way to the space program and landing on the moon. It also marks the growing reality that the world is not always what was promised, as the world goes from World War II to Vietnam. Father and son are at odds with the world and each other. While the father still clings to old ideas, he seems excited about man's journey into space. The son, once excited about the future is disappointed with the actual outcome when it doesn't live up to its potential. They are on divergent paths.
It's only when they witness the first link-up of an American and Soviet spacecraft, the Apollo-Soyuz, that the boy's hope is renewed. In the book, he comments on how those spacecraft are like him and his dad, "often arguing, seeing the world in different ways, but sharing a dream…united by bonds deeper and stronger than we knew." Their opinions about the world may have been vastly different, but in the end their hopes were the same.

Ukulele walkSubmitted by Fun at Foster on December 11, 2013 - 4:45pm
Last weekend E.P. Foster Library brought the music to the streets with our first ever Ukulele walk, the purpose was to promote the availability of ukuleles for check-out from the library and to encourage patrons to take a free monthly ukulele lesson provided by the library. Anacapa Ukulele provided the talent for the walk. Brad played bass ukulele, Jason was the lead singer and played the concert ukulele and Cary banged out the drum beats on a wooden box, a dynamite trio indeed, all from Anacapa Ukulele I might add. The trio, aided by a colorfully decorated book cart pushed by yours truly, weaved a serpentine path through Ventura's historic downtown area. Super Alan from the library assisted with flyer distribution, and I am now cognizant of the fact that Alan is the king of flyer distribution!
Strumming, singing, and showing off the library's ukuleles were the tasks of the day and I must say we performed these flawlessly. I failed to mention the Wine walk was going on at the same time as the Ukulele walk, making for a wonderful blend of uninhibited fun, in a wholesome sort of way of course. Our path took as far as the old Top Hat burger place and when we returned to the library Venus appeared in the southwestern sky, the air got a bit chilly, then the lovely walk came to a close. Next year...
Celebrating traditionsSubmitted by Fun at Foster on December 9, 2013 - 2:24pm
This time of year we tend to get caught up in holiday parties, programs, shopping, and traffic. Many of the meanings behind certain traditions have been obscured by time, technology, and, in some cases, commercialism. At least one thing, though, seems to have crossed centuries and cultures. Most people celebrate with some form of light. Christmas lights, menorahs, Yule logs, etc., all serve to remind us of how our ancestors viewed the darkest days of the year. Druids used to roll a flaming wheel down a hill during the Winter Solstice to remind the sun to return. Nowadays, we just flip a switch for illumination and keep the dark at bay with electricity.
So, whether you are roasting chestnuts, enjoying a Yule fire, or lighting candles to celebrate the holidays, ponder the possibility that you are carrying on an ancient tradition.
If you would like to learn more, Foster Library has a number of books on various holiday observances. You can even use some of our databases to find more information about holiday symbols and celebrations.

they dont look like two people who are secretly screwing….
my thoughts exactly
Morris looks like he's two seconds away from saying "Thanks for dressing up Halle."
That's the look of a man who's thinking "This is some bullshit!"
I believe I have one of Halle's pubic hairs in my teeth…..
Definitely trying to get the taste of crazy out of his mouth
Chestnut and Berry. They're only one pal who's a fruit short of a healthy breakfast.
Seconds away from throwing his own poo.
Soooo, you borrowed my car and what happened?!
If she tried hard I feel sure she could squeeze on a couple more earrings.
Halle Berry doesn't like black men. PERIOD.
Eric Benet and David Justice would argue differently.
They were both mixed…
She still looks great, but her age is starting to catch up with her.
Awkward silence
"Halle, rub a little harder and faster. I'll act nonchalant."

This recipe is from
Lucid Food
YIELD: Serves 6
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Neatly slice off the top of each squash and set it aside. Check the bottoms to see if they're level. If not, slice off enough so that they will stand steadily. Scoop out the seeds and place the squash in an oiled baking dish. Rub them inside and out with olive oil until well coated, and season with salt and pepper.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 4 tablespoons of the olive oil, followed by the onion and sauté until lightly browned. Add the garlic, rice, walnuts, barberries, cherries, apricots, and rose petals. Stir well and continue cooking for 5 minutes, adding a little water if the mixture is dry. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Fill each squash with stuffing and replace the tops. Whisk together the orange juice, saffron water, and the remaining oil and pour over the squash. Cover tightly with a dish lid and bake for 25 minutes, basting occasionally with the juice. Uncover, baste, and bake until the squash is golden and tender, about 5 minutes more.

Jan Němec
|This biographical article needs additional citations for verification. (August 2014)
This article may be expanded with text translated from the corresponding article in Czech. (August 2014) Click [show] for important translation instructions.
Jan Němec (12 July 1936 in Prague) is a Czech filmmaker whose most important work dates from the 1960s. Film historian Peter Hames has described him as the "enfant terrible of the Czech New Wave."[1]
Němec's career as a filmmaker started in the late 1950s when he attended FAMU, the most prestigious institution for film training in Czechoslovakia. At this time, Czechoslovakia was a communist state subservient to the USSR and artistic and public expression was subject to censorship and government review. However, thanks largely to the failure of purely propagandist cinema in the early 1950s and the presence of important and powerful people within the Czechoslovak film industry, such as Jan Procházka, the 1960s led to an internationally acknowledged creative surge in Czechoslovak film that became known as the Czech New Wave, in which Němec played a part.
As a graduation film, Němec adapted a short story by Arnošt Lustig based on the author's experience of the Holocaust: . Němec would return to Lustig's writing when he directed the influential film, Diamonds of the Night (insert citation) , which was also based on the Holocaust. The film follows the fate of two boys who escape from a transit train to a concentration camp. It is noted for its dramatic subjectivization of the experience of the Holocaust using experimental techniques, including flashbacks, simulated hallucinations and an unusual double ending that leaves the viewer in doubt as to the fate of its protagonists. It was his first major success, and while it passed the censors' reviews, it helped lay the foundation for the political movement that was coming. More importantly, it remains an aesthetic and technical milestone in the exploration of human experience under extreme conditions.
His best known work is . Its plot revolves around a group of friends on a picnic who are invited to a bizarre banquet by a charismatic sadist, played by Ivan Vyskočil, who eventually bullies most of them into blind conformity and brutality while those who resist are hunted down. The film particularly received a bad reception from the authorities as Vyskočil in the film had a remarkable likeness to Lenin, though according to Peter Hames this was accidental. Moreover, the cast consisted of various dissident Czechoslovak intellectuals of the day, including Josef Škvorecký. The film was viewed as being so subversive to the Communist state that Antonín Novotný, the President, was said to "climb the walls" on viewing it and Němec's arrest for subversion was considered.
However, before the political fallout from was able to take effect, he was able to have approved one more feature: Martyrs of Love (Mučedníci lásky, 1966). The film, perhaps in mind of the previous troubles he had suffered, was completely apolitical, but it's surrealist lyrical style did not endear it to the authorities and Němec was forced to work outside the government-approved system, producing the film Mother and Son (Mutter und Sohn, 1967), which won an award at the Oberhausen Film Festival.
His next important feature was a documentary, Oratorio for Prague, of the Soviet-led invasion of Prague in 1968, which ended the liberal Prague Spring. It received standing ovations in New York in the fall of 1968.It was banned, but Němec's footage would eventually be used by countless international news organizations as stock footage of the invasion. Němec was also an advisor on Philip Kaufman's film adaption of The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1988) with Němec's original film of the invasion being integrated.
After 1968, he left Czechoslovakia although he did return to the occupied country but was not allowed to make films so he waited and then after some fuss was eventually allowed to leave in 1974 with the warning that if he ever returned they would find an excuse to put him in prison so he was in effect thrown out. He then went on to Germany before eventually moving to the United States. Unable to work in traditional cinema, he was a pioneer in using video cameras to record weddings, including documenting the nuptials of the Swedish royal family.[2]
After the fall of Communism in Czechoslovakia in 1989, he returned to his native country, where he has made several films, including Code Name Ruby (Jmeno kodu: Rubin, 1997) and Late Night Talks with Mother (Nočni hovory s matkou, 2000), which won the Golden Leopard at Locarno. He also became a professor at his old alma mater, FAMU.
In 2014 he challenged the president of the Czech Republic Zeman by returning the medals given to him by the first president of the Czech Republic Vaclav Havel. [1]
Personal life[edit]
In 1969 he married singer Marta Kubišová; they divorced in 1973.[citation needed]

From The Huffington Post: LONDON, Aug 17 (Reuters) - Two fifths of men in developing countries still smoke or use tobacco, and women are increasingly starting to smoke at younger ages, according to a large international study which found "alarming patterns" of tobacco use.
Despite years of anti-smoking measures across the world, most developing countries have low quit rates, according to the study in The Lancet medical journal on Friday.
There are wide differences in the rates of smoking between genders and nations, as well as major disparities in access to effective anti-smoking treatments.

What is Call Forwarding? How does it work?
Call Forwarding lets you choose which telephones will ring when you receive calls to your Ooma phone. You can direct incoming calls to your home telephone, to an external number, to your Ooma Mobile HD app, or to some combination of those destinations.
You can enable Call Forwarding by logging in to your My Ooma account and navigating to the Call Forwarding option under the preferences tab. You should see a page that is similar to the one pictured below:
Once you're there, here's how to turn on Call Forwarding:
- Choose which number or numbers you want to apply your Call Forwarding settings to from the "Apply these settings to:" menu.
- Select your "Forwarding mode" from the dropdown list.
- Choose the devices that you would like to have ring for incoming calls from the "Ring the following devices" list. You can choose any or all of the following options:
- Home Phone: Your Ooma home phone.
- Mobile App: Calls can be received through the Ooma Mobile app on your iOS device or Android device if you are running the latest version.
- External Number: Any domestic landline or cell phone
Once you've followed those steps, you'll be set up and ready to go!
What are the different call forwarding modes available?
There are three different options to choose from when you enable Call Forwarding:
- Disabled will turn Call Forwarding off. Only your home phone will ring.
- When Ooma Device is Offline will only forward an incoming call if your Ooma service is not working (if your Ooma device is powered off or your Internet is out). If your Ooma service is working, only your home phone will ring.
- All Incoming Calls allows you to control which devices you want to ring when you receive an incoming calls. Select your home phones, your mobile app, an external phone number, or any combination of the above.
Can I answer incoming calls on my mobile app??
If you are using version 5.0 or later of the Ooma Mobile HD iOS app or version 3.0 or later of the Android app, you can have your incoming calls ring on your mobile app. These calls are routed through your cell phone's Wi-Fi or mobile data connection. Once you have set up the app on your mobile device, you can enable call forwarding through the Ooma Mobile HD app by selecting "Mobile App" from the "Ring the following devices" list.
Reference: You can learn more about the free Ooma Mobile HD app by visiting our FAQ.
What is the "Require key press before answering forwarded calls" option?
The "Require key press before answering forwarded calls" option gives you an added level of flexibility when ringing an external phone number like a cell. When this option is enabled and you answer a forwarded call on an external number, you won't be connected to the caller until you answer the phone AND press "1" on your phone's keypad. This option ensures that your other devices can still ring if your cell phone has been turned off or is out of its service area.
How come I don't see the option to enable Call Forwarding?
The Call Forwarding features are only available to Ooma Premier subscribers. You can check your account level by visiting this page.

How do I turn call forwarding off?
You can turn Call Forwarding off by changing the Forwarding Mode to Disabled. This disables Call Forwarding while maintaining your previous configuration so that you can enable it easily the next time you want to use it.
Can I forward calls to an international number?
Calls can be forwarded to numbers in the U.S. and Canada. You cannot forward calls to international numbers from other countries.
Call Forwarding isn't working for me. What's going on?
If Call Forwarding is not working properly, please check the following to make sure that you have set up the feature properly:
- Is Call Forwarding enabled? (Note: Make sure that your "Forwarding Mode" is not set to "Disabled")
- Is your external number typed in correctly?
- Are you able to receive calls on the phone you are forwarding your calls to?

U.S. 10-Year Yield Falls to 7-Week Low; Bill Rates Rise
Oct. 3 (Bloomberg) -- Treasury notes rose, pushing 10-year yields to a seven-week low, as a budget deadlock that partially shut down the government persisted into a third day and a gauge of U.S. service businesses dropped more than forecast.
The benchmark yields erased an earlier advance made as investors weighed prospects for the government shutdown to merge with the debate over raising the federal debt limit, which the Treasury has said will be reached Oct. 17. The negative effects of a default should the U.S. not raise the debt limit could last decades, the department said in a report.
"The market's starting to feel the pressures of the softer economic data and the shutdown," said Sean Simko, who oversees $8 billion at SEI Investments Co. in Oaks, Pennsylvania. "That's why you're starting to see a bid in the marketplace."
The benchmark 10-year yield fell one basis point, or 0.01 percentage point, to 2.61 percent at 5 p.m. in New York, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader prices. It touched 2.58 percent, the lowest level since Aug. 12, after rising earlier to 2.65 percent. The price of the 2.5 percent debt due in August 2023 rose 3/32, or 94 cents per $1,000 face amount, to 99 3/32.
Rates on the $93 billion in Treasury bills that mature Oct. 24 increased to 0.13 percent after touching negative 0.01 percent on Sept. 27. Rates on the $120 billion of bills maturing Oct. 17 advanced to 0.11 percent after falling to negative 0.01 percent on Sept. 24. Those rates reached 0.14 percent on Oct. 1, the highest since December.
Curve Inversion
Investors seeking to hedge against the risk of a default on bills maturing closest to the debt-ceiling deadline pushed the difference in rates between one- and three-month bills to the biggest gap since the 2008 financial crisis.
One-month bill rates climbed to as high as 0.14 percent, while rates on three-month bills touched 0.03 percent, the biggest inversion of the so-called bill curve since September 2008.
"You're seeing an aversion to the bills on and around the date when the debt ceiling might be breached," said Dan Mulholland, head of Treasury trading at BNY Mellon Capital Markets in New York. "A lot of these short Treasury bills are typically held by accounts that use them for collateral. They don't want to be in a situation where they can't make good on a collateral payment."
Past Crises
Two years ago, one-month bill rates climbed to a 29-month high of 0.18 percent as the Aug. 2, 2011, deadline set by Treasury to avoid a default approached. They traded at 0.015 percent in December 2012 before a year-end trigger would force automatic spending cuts and tax increases.
Three-month Treasury bill rates touched negative 0.0101 percent on Sept. 27, the lowest level this year. The 2013 average is 0.048 percent. The three-month rate climbed to 0.09 percent before the August 2011 deadline, and rose as high as 0.081 percent in the week before Dec. 31, 2012.
Treasury price swings as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate Index fell for a second day, dropping 2.2 percent to 80.33. The average this year was 72.14.
Trading volume at ICAP Plc, the largest inter-dealer broker of U.S. government debt, rose for the first time in three days, increasing 5.1 percent to $339 billion. It was the highest level since Sept. 19. The 2013 average is $316 billion.
The ISM's U.S. non-manufacturing index fell to 54.4 in September from 58.6 the prior month, the Tempe, Arizona-based group said today. The median forecast in a Bloomberg survey called for a drop to 57. The figure includes industries that make up almost 90 percent of the economy.
No Report
The Labor Department won't issue its September employment data tomorrow because of the shutdown. An alternative date for the report, usually released the first Friday of every month, hasn't been scheduled, the department said in a statement.
A partial government shutdown lasting one week would shave 0.1 percentage point from economic growth, according to economists surveyed by Bloomberg, with the damage accelerating if the closure persists. It will cost at least $300 million a day in lost output at the start, according to IHS Inc., a Lexington, Massachusetts-based research company.
The effects of failing to raise the $16.7 trillion debt ceiling would be even bigger. The "catastrophic" consequences of a U.S. default may include high interest rates, lower investment and slow growth and "could last for more than a generation," the Treasury said in a report.
'Increasingly Concerned'
"The market is becoming increasingly concerned that we'll get to a point where the Treasury may not be able to pay its bills," said Michael Pond, head of global inflation-linked research at Barclays Plc, one of 21 primary dealers that trade directly with the Fed. "Situations where the market is concerned the U.S. Treasury may not pay its bills on time are indeed quite rare."
House Republicans are divided between those aligned with Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, who are insisting on confrontation over the nation's 2010 health-care law, Obama's signature legislative achievement, and at least 15 others who say they would support Senate Democrats' spending bill. That legislation would end the shutdown without conditions attached.
Credit-default swaps that insure U.S. debt from non-payment for five years climbed to 35.5 basis points yesterday, the highest in almost six months, according to CMA, which is owned by McGraw-Hill Cos. and compiles prices quoted by dealers in the privately negotiated market. The contracts were the 15th most traded of 1,000 entities tracked by the Depository Trust & Clearing Corp. in the week through Sept. 27, up from 147th the previous period.
The average rate for borrowing and lending Treasuries for one day in the repurchase market was 0.071 percent yesterday, according to a GCF repo index provided by the Depository Trust & Clearing Corp. The repo rate averaged 0.06 percent since June, compared with 0.14 percent for the first five months of 2013.
The Treasury said it will auction $64 billion of three-, 10-and 30-year securities next week.

Overclocking frustrations! E6600/Evga 680i
I am having the hardest time with my setup. First off, here are specs:
Tuniq Tower - lapped to 1000 Grit
Evga 680i w/ P21 Bios
Corsair Dominator 8500 2 gig
Silverstone 850 Watt PSU
Evga 8800GTX @ 630/2000
Silverstone TJ07 Case (awesome btw)
X-fi elite pro
WD HDs
Plextor burner
Current BIOS settings:
Mulitiplier - x9
Primary, PCIe x16 (black) - 125
SPP<->MCP Ref Clock - 225
Memory - 5-5-5-15
Running in Unlinked mode
All Spread Spectrums are Disabled
System BIOS Cacheable - Enabled
NVIDIA GPU Ex- Disabled
LinkBoost Function - Disabled
HPET Function - disabled
NVMEM memory test - disabled
PCI Clocks - Auto
CPU Configuration - Everything is disabled except "Logical uP1" - whatever that is. That is left as enabled. It only shows up in the NVCP stuff but not the actually Evga main BIOS. ???
VCORE: 1.45v
VDIMM: 2.2v
CPU FSB Voltage - 1.5v
Nforce SPP Voltage - 1.50v
Nforce MCP Voltage - AUTO
HT nForce SPP<-> MCP - AUTO
that should cover the settings in the BIOS. Anything not mentioned above is set to default or auto...or whatever the original setting is from the P21 BIOS. I also disabled whatever serial ports and on board NIC or on-board soundcard crap I don't need.
OK - here is the problem
I am hitting walls left and right and HUGE gap in the FSB. I know the gaps in this board already but mine are just plain retarted!
I can't even get my 2.4 e600 to 3.3 stable! The only way I actually can make this stable is by upping the VCORE to something like 1.55 or 1.575 volts! I should be hittings 3.5 at least w/ my system and at the vcore rating of 1.575.
I've tried lowering the muliplier to x8 and upping the FSB but the system will reboot and say that is running in safe mode! or I'll back all the way down to 1.45 vcore and 3.2ghz and reboot from BIOS and it will also again say its running in safe mode.
Getting to 3.3 or 3.4 is even more of a task...I have yet to even be Orthos stable! it will fail at either 2 mins or 15 mins....12 mins and some odd seconds.
I'm at a loss and I need some help! I see so many people running at least 3.4-3.5 some even at 3.6 but I can't get that high.
pllllleeeeassssee help me! I've googled and come up empty. I've referenced to the the nvidia overclocking guide and got no where.
i'm at a loss :(
oh and disregard my sig. See my e6600 at 3.5/1.5562 vcore...that was BEFORE I found Orthos. that program made me sad.
Re: Overclocking frustrations! E6600/Evga 680i
Its gonna take more Vcore for that 1000Mhz OC (lee63) Mine fails Orthos with in minutes, I hate that program :thumbdwn: I have had no issues with my OC in games or windows and thats all that really matters to me (lee63)
Re: Overclocking frustrations! E6600/Evga 680i
the max I'd want to go is 1.6volts on the vcore...but temperatures scare me. I don't want this thing hitting more than 60c.
Re: Overclocking frustrations! E6600/Evga 680i
some just wont go that high.
mine hits a wall right after 3.2.
Re: Overclocking frustrations! E6600/Evga 680i
I have mine running at 3.3GHz but I keep hearing this occasional "BEEP!" come through my speakers when I'm playing games. What the heck is that? lol
Re: Overclocking frustrations! E6600/Evga 680i
too hot? error?
mine does that at 3.3 as well.
its why i run 3.2.
Re: Overclocking frustrations! E6600/Evga 680i
Guess I hit the nail on the head with that one :)
Re: Overclocking frustrations! E6600/Evga 680i
I don't trust Orthost at all... it's just an older version of Prime95 with a GUI that can do dual cores (dual affinitys) at the same time.
Listen to Star Trek Scotty:
"The more you overtake the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain!"
Be a man use Dual Prime95's ;)
Here's a guide on how to setup Dual 95's:
YOU DO NOT NEED TO INCREASE FSB and CHIPSET VOLTAGES
(At least not for overclocks under 3.6Ghz)
You're just adding more heat for no reason.
CPU Thermal control - disabled
C1E Enhanced holt state - disabled
Intel Speedstep - disabled
CPU Spread Spectrum - disabled
HT Spread Spectrum - disabled
PCIe Spread Spectrum SPP - disabled
PCIe Spread Spectrum MCP - disabled
Sata Spread Spectrum - disabled
For me:
3.660Ghz stable @ 1.42v (Dual Prime95 12 hours)
3.375Ghz stable @ 1.35v (Dual Prime95 12 hours)
I like the 3.375 OC better. The memory is 1:1 at this FSB (1500) and the CPU(s) run a whole lot cooler. Also I like the Vcore a lot better
3.660Ghz = 66C Prime95 Peak, 60C Prime95 AVG, 54C Gaming
3.375Ghz = 60C Prime95 Peak, 56C Prime95 AVG, 50C Gaming
EVGA 680i
2GB Crucial Ballistic DDR2-1000 5-5-5-15 (2T) @ 1000Mhz 4-4-4-12 (2T)

I bought a cheap $5 Lite-On (weird burners and keyboards?) USB keyboard.
Yesterday I bought a Logitech G11. Not sure how I feel about it yet. The extra keys on the side have my messed up in the head where I always over reach onto those keys when trying to hit escape. The blue key lighting rocks though. :)
Re: Overclocking frustrations! E6600/Evga 680i
No overclock is ganrenteed, some CPU's need more voltage then others.
I still do that with my Logitech G15 over reach and press wrong keys :rolleyes:
