My older brother's name is Matthew, and I've called him Thew for years, because everyone else uses the nn Matt! I usually call him by his full name (which I love as a boys name), but I do often call him Thew or Thew-Thew (an older nn I gave him YEARS ago). I also agree with the pp, you could go with Hew (Hugh) as well, I think that's nice! My brother has never been called Matty by anyone as far as I know, but I do think it's a very cute nn for Matthew.

I must express my keen disappointment after reading former Candidate Ed Birnbaum's op-ed, "Op-ed comments not scientifically valid" (Los Alamos Monitor, June 11).
As a scientist and educator, Mr. Birnbaum should have reveled at the teaching opportunity provided by Ms. Noon's article, "EPA hides their use of 'bad science.'"
He chose to respond to the article in an ad-hominem fashion, disparaging the "scientific credentials" and "agendas" of those about whom she wrote and with whom he apparently disagrees, rather than to address the merits of her claim — a time-honored Washington political maneuver.
Gratitude and a plea
This is a heartfelt thanks to members and leaders of Junior Girl Scout Troop No. 10027 for your outstanding beautification project between the Aquatic Center and the canyon trails! It is a wonderful improvement to the area and your efforts are greatly appreciated.
How grand it would be if this special spot, and all other areas of our community, could remain free of litter for all to enjoy!
Once a week, on the daily morning dog walk, I collect a full bag of trash behind the Aquatic Center and on the trail that begins below the parking lot. (I know others do this as well.) By the evening walk more trash has already accumulated. The abundance of bottles, cans, plastic items and paper products of every description, which are seen along our streets and trails, does not support the local belief that we are a highly intelligent community.
Why does it always take a highly-public, media-driven feeding frenzy and catastrophe like the Veteran's Administration's "waiting list" story to get our elected officials in Washington, D.C., off the dime to do what they should have been doing all along? Serious problems within the VA medical system are nothing new. It's been building up for some time.
Sen. Tom Udall, in his sixth year as a U.S. senator, is not newly advised to these problems, regardless of what his public relations spin says. He and his staff had to have known, in detail, the difficulties faced by many veterans seeking health care, but it took a national exposure of a systemic tragedy to get them to at least appear fully engaged.
That's shameful incompetence. Just as much as the senior administrators who are guilty of creating this debacle.
On behalf of the Class of 2014, we would like to thank everyone who helped to make the Senior Picnic a huge success, including the parents who not only donated food items but also their time and grilling expertise.
Speaking of grilling, thank you to Dr. Gene Schmidt, superintendent, and Mr. Gerry Washburn, assistant superintendent, for taking a turn flipping hamburgers and hot dogs.
A thank you also goes out to Valynn Purvis, of Party to Go and her staff for supplying the bounce house and dunk tank, as well as to the Los Alamos Animal Shelter for letting members of the senior class meet Texas and Baby.
The weather was great and everyone had a great time celebrating the end of a four-year journey.

It's a dog's world. That means dogs rule, people drool. Dogs know how to have fun in almost any situation, whereas people work hard to find fault with anything and everything.
And people can manufacture nightmares in this dog's world that would keep Freddy Krueger awake. It's hard to imagine why anyone would purposely hurt a dog.
But some people treat dogs like garbage, abusing and tossing them aside with no more thought than one would have for a discarded piece of trash.
As a shining example of what people value in our society, consider the mound of yak upchuck who goes by the name Michael Vick.
In a recent interview, Vick (currently a $5 million a year NFL quarterback for the New York Jets) bragged that he could help any team get to the Super Bowl.
I don't know if anyone explained to this sadistic cretin, but they don't torture dogs at the Super Bowl. His talents would be severely wasted.
Vick personifies the absolute worst in human DNA, the ability of people to place human pleasure above everything else. After serving 18 months in a plush jail, he was quickly put back onto the playing field for the Philadelphia Eagles, making tens of millions of dollars. Despite the pleasure and profit he took in torturing dogs for entertainment, his fans continued to praise him.
ESPAÑOLA — Eric Quintana, founder of Performance Maintenance, Inc. (PMI), is putting down roots for his growing business with a new expansion in Española. Since launching PMI with his wife Celina from their home in 1994, the company now boasts more than 80 employees in two states.
Governor Susana Martinez and New Mexico Economic Development Department (EDD) Cabinet Secretary Jon Barela were the honored guests of the Regional Development Corporation (RDC), also based in Española, who hosted a public groundbreaking at the site (835 N. Paseo del Oñate, Española) on June 17. The groundbreaking ushered in the next phase for PMI, which will create up to 50 new jobs.
Immediately following the groundbreaking at PMI's new site, the governor and cabinet secretary cut the ribbon at another new Española business — Blue Heron Brewing just opened a new taproom located at 100 Los Alamos Highway.
"I could not be happier with the news of the expansion of both PMI and Blue Heron Brewing Company in Española in northern New Mexico," Gov. Martinez said. "Small, local businesses like these are exactly the kind of enterprises we want to help grow. When they succeed, our families and communities succeed."
June 1 marked the beginning of hurricane season. Meanwhile, across much of the Western United States major droughts have greatly increased the danger for summer wildfires. And don't forget last winter's record-breaking winter storms — or the ongoing potential for earthquakes, tornados, floods and other natural disasters.
Such catastrophic events are inevitable, largely unpreventable and often strike without warning. Even though we can't always predict natural disasters, we can anticipate their likely aftermaths, including property loss, power or water service disruption and scarcity of food and supplies.
Sit down with your family and develop a disaster plan. By planning ahead and knowing what you might need under dire circumstances, you can save yourselves a lot of time, money and grief.
FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (fema.gov), offers great suggestions for developing a family emergency plan, building an emergency supply kit, and learning what to do before, during and after emergencies, everything from home fires to terrorist attacks. They even provide an emergency plan for family pets.
Here are some emergency-planning ideas you may not have considered:
• Pick meeting spots both in and outside your neighborhood where your family can gather after an emergency.
It's four months into the new health insurance plan year, and if provider experiences are any indication, that hasn't been enough time for people to figure out exactly what "high deductible" — especially as it relates to Los Alamos National Laboratory's new insurance offerings — means.
As defined by the healthcare.gov glossary, "deductible" is "The amount you owe for health care services your health insurance or plan covers before your health insurance or plan begins to pay.
For example, if your deductible is $1,000, your plan won't pay anything until you've met your $1,000 deductible for covered health care services subject to the deductible. The deductible may not apply to all services."
The glossary further defines "High Deductible Health Plan" as "a plan that features higher deductibles than traditional insurance plans. High deductible health plans (HDHPs) can be combined with a health savings account, or a health reimbursement arrangement to allow you to pay for qualified out-of-pocket medical expenses on a pre-tax basis."

Wednesday, Jul 1, 2015The power balance has shifted, and consumers realize they call the shots when it comes to getting what they want from brands. Get it right, and you win their loyalty for life. Get it wrong, and the consumer will not only take their business elsewhere, but they'll encourage their entire network to do the same using social media's massive megaphone, too.
Monday, Jun 22, 2015On any given day, you can walk through one of LivePerson's 12 offices around the world and find people meeting, collaborating, and connecting. Every so often, instead of seeing the standard meeting in our glass-walled conference rooms, you'll see LP staff wearing matching bright-orange T-shirts. They aren't listening to someone walk through a PowerPoint presentation or going through another spreadsheet. They're painting. Yes, painting. And drinking wine. In the middle of the afternoon. On a Tuesday.
Thursday, May 28, 2015"The customer is always right." The phrase is so cliché that it now shapes our entire consumer experience, setting the expectation of a seamless, flawless, infallible world of near-royal treatment. But what effect does this deeply ingrained business mantra have on consumer-facing employees? Where does that leave them? In the zero-sum game of consumer vs. brand, does that mean employees are always wrong? Have we completely abandoned any hope of employee satisfaction (ESAT) in favor of customer satisfaction (CSAT)?
Wednesday, May 13, 2015Today's consumers are always on and expect immediate access to answers and information no matter where they are. But not all brands can deliver on this expectation. And a disappointed consumer can ensure a brand's downfall. On the other hand, what do America's favorite brands — think Amazon, Google, Macy's, Airbnb, etc. — have in common? They're on the cutting edge when it comes to a good customer experience.
Thursday, May 7, 2015Small businesses are charming. They breathe life into local economies and add color to city culture. And it's no wonder: With a small team, it's easy to focus on people over product. SMBs don't have to humanize operations, because it's ingrained in everyday operations.
Monday, May 4, 2015Your operations are locked up tight. Your employees have been thoroughly screened and require appropriate credentials to enter your facilities, which are, in turn, physically protected. Your website is encrypted. Your technology infrastructure has brand-name firewalls, DDOS blockers, load balancers, and more for first-rate security, scalability, and resiliency. You've built an impenetrable fortress, a veritable "Death Star" of a customer care operation. And yet…
Wednesday, Apr 22, 2015Customer experience is at the forefront of brand strategies. Last month, LivePerson sponsored the Next Generation Customer Experience conference in San Diego, presented by Worldwide Business Research (WBR). More than 100 marketing and CX professionals came together to explore how brands could better their own customer journeys and dive into future trends and emerging technologies. It was the perfect opportunity to find out what's next for CX?
Monday, Apr 20, 2015Integrating new employees from a recently acquired company is stressful for all parties involved. Besides the fundamentals that have to be sorted like payroll, benefits and business systems, cultural integration is just as vital to a successful merger. Culture is the fabric of how a company operates and how employees interact with one another, their customers and the community at large. So when a new company is brought into the mix, there is undoubtedly some adjustment as everyone is feeling out the new rules of the road.
Wednesday, Apr 15, 2015Happy tax day! Did you have to call the IRS this tax season? How was your experience? According to the Washington Post, "About half of the 100 million or so people who will try to call the IRS this year probably won't get through. The agency reckons that even those who do will have to wait 30 minutes or more."
Tuesday, Apr 7, 2015You know that feeling in the pit of your stomach when you can't stop laughing? Any day that I am cleaning mascara off my cheeks from tears of laughter is a good one in my book. Not only does laughter pick up your mood—it improves your heart health, according to U.S. News Health. It's no wonder that we instantly connect to brands that make us laugh-- I'm thinking brands like Doritos, Taco Bell, and Kmart. We also remember the brands that make us feel, for better or worse. While much of the response was negative to Nationwide's 2015 Super Bowl commercial, it was one of the most talked about and remembered ads this year because of the emotional response it provoked.

You don't necessarily need a macro lens to do macro photography. By mounting a prime lens "backward"—with the front elements closest to the imaging sensor—you can turn it into a low-cost macro lens. All you need is an inexpensive adapter called a reversal ring. A sense of adventure helps, too, because your camera's normal metering and focusing features don't work when the lens is attached backward.
In this course, photographer Ben Long details the tools and techniques of lens-reversal macro photography. After investigating reversal ring options, the course explores the focusing and exposure techniques involved when shooting with a reversed lens.
By now, you might be thinking, wow, this is really all kind of make-shift. And certainly, compared to shooting with an actual macro lens, lens reversal can be a little cumbersome. But it's also a completely valid way to get great macro shots. I regularly see fantastic, professional quality images that were shot with a reversed lens. So if you're interested in macro photography but you don't want to spend for a macro lens, lens reversal really is a great way to get macro capability. Even if you have a macro lens, you might not always have it with you. But a reversal ring can fit in to any camera bag, meaning that you are always ready for macro shooting, should you stumble across good macro subject matter.
Whether you're using a real macro lens or a reversed lens, macro photography requires a tremendous amount of practice before you get regular proficiency. So get your lens mounted backwards and go find some tiny subjects.
There are currently no FAQs about Lens-Reversal Macro Photography.

Theory of mind in schizophrenia: exploring neural mechanisms of belief attribution.
ABSTRACT Although previous behavioral studies have shown that schizophrenia patients have impaired theory of mind (ToM), the neural mechanisms associated with this impairment are poorly understood. This study aimed to identify the neural mechanisms of ToM in schizophrenia, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) with a belief attribution task.
In the scanner, 12 schizophrenia patients and 13 healthy control subjects performed the belief attribution task with three conditions: a false belief condition, a false photograph condition, and a simple reading condition.
For the false belief versus simple reading conditions, schizophrenia patients showed reduced neural activation in areas including the temporoparietal junction (TPJ) and medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) compared with controls. Further, during the false belief versus false photograph conditions, we observed increased activations in the TPJ and the MPFC in healthy controls, but not in schizophrenia patients. For the false photograph versus simple reading condition, both groups showed comparable neural activations.
Schizophrenia patients showed reduced task-related activation in the TPJ and the MPFC during the false belief condition compared with controls, but not for the false photograph condition. This pattern suggests that reduced activation in these regions is associated with, and specific to, impaired ToM in schizophrenia.

Article: Neural responses during social reflection in relatives of schizophrenia patients: Relationship to subclinical delusions[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background: Deficits in the capacity to reflect about the self and others ("social reflection" [SR]) have been iden- tified in schizophrenia, as well as in people with a genetic or clinical risk for the disorder. However, the neural underpinnings of these abnormalities are incompletely understood. Methods: Responses of a network of brain regions known to be involved in self and other processing (e.g., medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC), posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), and superior temporal gyrus (STG)) were measured during SR in 16 first-degree, non-psychotic relatives (RELS) of schizophrenia patients and 16 healthy con- trols (CONS). Because of prior evidence linking dysfunction in this network and delusions, associations be- tween SR-related responses of this network and subclinical delusions (measured using the Peters et al. Delusions Inventory) were also examined. Results: Compared with CONS, RELS showed significantly less SR-related activity of the right and left PCC and STG. Moreover, response magnitudes were negatively correlated with levels of delusional thinking across both groups. Conclusions: These findings suggest that aberrant function of the neural circuitry underpinning SR is asso- ciated with the genetic liability to schizophrenia and confers vulnerability to delusional beliefs.Schizophrenia Research 08/2014; In Press(1-3).

Article: Selective Effect of Neurocognition on Different Theory of Mind Domains in First-Episode Psychosis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of neurocognition on affective and cognitive theory of mind (ToM) tasks in early phases of psychosis. In a cross-sectional study of 60 first-episode schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder patients, the implication of neurocognition in first- and second-order ToM stories, Hinting Task, and Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (RMET) was analyzed. Regression models were used, controlling for clinical symptoms and antipsychotic dose. Spatial span backward (odds ratio [OR], 0.34; p = 0.01) and intrusions in the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (OR, 4.86; p = 0.04) were the best factors to predict second-order ToM failure. Trail Making Test B (B = 0.01; p = 0.04) and negative symptoms (B = 0.09; p = 0.01) predicted Hinting task performance while Block design (B = 0.1; p = 0.04) was related to RMET outcome. Executive functions and clinical symptoms were related to ToM performance in first-episode schizophrenia patients, although different patterns of relationship were observed in each ToM task.Journal of Nervous & Mental Disease 07/2014; 202(8).

Article: Common brain areas engaged in false belief reasoning and visual perspective taking: a meta-analysis of functional brain imaging studies[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We performed a quantitative meta-analysis of functional neuroimaging studies to identify brain areas which are commonly engaged in social and visuo-spatial perspective taking. Specifically, we compared brain activation for visual-perspective taking to activation for false belief reasoning, which requires awareness of perspective to understand someone's mistaken belief about the world which contrasts with reality. In support of a previous account by Perner and Leekam (2008), our meta-analytic conjunction analysis found common activation for false belief reasoning and visual perspective taking in the left but not the right dorsal temporo-parietal junction (TPJ). This fits with the idea that the left dorsal TPJ is responsible for representing different perspectives in a domain-general fashion. Moreover, our conjunction analysis found activation in the precuneus and the left middle occipital gyrus close to the putative Extrastriate Body Area (EBA). The precuneus is linked to mental-imagery which may aid in the construction of a different perspective. The EBA may be engaged due to imagined body-transformations when another's viewpoint is adopted.Frontiers in Human Neuroscience 01/2013; 7:712. DOI:10.3389/fnhum.2013.00712 · 2.90 Impact Factor

This page shows the history of the SimpleHelp pilot at Boston University. For information on the current implementation of SimpleHelp, including instructions for use, please visit the main SimpleHelp page.
Project Scope
IS&T made an initial purchase of a 20-session license for SimpleHelp in July 2010.
Goals of the implementation:
- Install SimpleHelp for initial use at Boston University, with an eye to expanded use
- Involve parties from different BU technology support groups who are interested in using the software
- Ensure security and access are configured to meet Boston University needs
What's the status right now?
Most recent updates first.
September 19, 2010
- Web pages published to TechWeb; overview page, client page and technician page (including technician request form). This history page created from information previously on the project overview page.
September 18, 2010
- Created form to allow prospective technicians (or their sponsors) to request pre-approval. Form sends to firstname.lastname@example.com for appropriate routing. Linked on technician page.
September 14, 2010
- At request of Jeff Albro, pre-approved all it-common members as technicians.
September 13, 2010
- New technician authentication tested — works well! Mail sent to technician group to tell them how to get them set up under new authentication.
- Updated technician page to explain how this works.
September 10, 2010
- Thanks to Peter Jorgensen, Matt Kramer and Frank Lonigro for implementing the backend for the new WebNew for technicians today. Plan mail to full technician group on Monday telling them what to do, and we will be in business on the new authentication scheme.
September 8th 2010
- Version 3.8 installed and configured to allow Kerberos access for Technicians in our SimpleHelp Technicians group…however "…since the memberOf field is restricted in our AD implementation (it contains FERPA protected information) we need to be a little creative." Workaround we will use is to have members of technician group run a special WebNew. This requires programming work by some specific staff members.
September 3, 2010
- Version 3.8 has been officially released. Requested install at BU.
Late August update
- Waiting for official release of version 3.8
- At BU, we set up the Active Directory group that this version will use for Technician access
- Updated BU local web pages for both end-users and technicians
August 6, 2010
- Received word from SimpleHelp that next release (3.8) will allow us to configure Technician authentication via AD groups; this is very good and will allow us to use BU login/Kerberos in a secure manner.
August 6, 2010
- Gave presentation to Support & Infrastructure Governance Committee on status of the project including concerns about current Technician authentication. Discussed options.
- After presentation, signed up large number of new technicians for pilot / testing.
July 26, 2010
- Initial testing by a small group (including tester at Med Campus) shows access and security working as expected.
- Still early days: please do not yet advertise beyond the test group.
- BU local documentation has been started and will be linked on this site.
- Mail going out to original group of interested people this week to get more people actively testing.
July 12, 2010:
- The software has been installed by the IS&T Windows System Group on a BU server.
- We can support 20 concurrent sessions on our current license.
- We are now testing the application to see how well it works in the BU environment.
- People interested in testing the software (please do not use in production yet – testing among colleagues only) — contact Clare Shawcross.
Who organized the SimpleHelp Pilot?
Planning, web pages, configuration and communication – Clare Shawcross, IS&T.
Installation, Active Directory work, and organization of clever workarounds – Peter Jorgensen, IS&T.

Tom Sizemore's Missing Female Friend Is Found
Originally posted 05/14/2011 04:30PM
A friend of actor Tom Sizemore has been reunited with her family after she disappeared on March 31.
Megan Wren, 25, was found in a home near downtown Los Angeles, Officer Sara Faden tells PEOPLE. No reason for her disappearance was released.
Sizemore, 49, had been questioned by detectives about Wren but was never a suspect, police say. He had befriended the woman who had been living on the same floor of his luxury high-rise apartment building.
"I am relived and happy Megan is safe and sound. It is unfortunate that she did not come forward immediately as this has caused me a lot of concern," says Sizemore. "However, I am pleased no harm has come to Megan and I wish her and her family the best and I am putting this matter behind me."
Female Friend of Tom Sizemore Goes Missing
Originally posted 05/13/2011 10:30AM
A woman who police say was living off and on with actor Tom Sizemore in a luxury high-rise Los Angeles apartment has been missing for the past month and a half.
Sizemore, 49, who's been interviewed by detectives and has been cooperative, is not a suspect in the missing-person case, LAPD Det. Carmine Sasso tells PEOPLE.
Actress Megan Lacy Wren, 25, was last seen in the downtown L.A. area on March 31. Although some have described her as his girlfriend, Sizemore told Det. Sasso that she was just a friend, while the actor's manager outright dismisses any claims of a romantic involvement between the two.
The woman's father, Bill Wren, told CBS News that his daughter had been working for the actor as his assistant. Sizemore "indicated that he didn't know where she was," Bill Wren said.

Naked Paris Hilton Goes for Only $46,000
Originally posted 05/26/2005 08:00AM
FETCHED: A photo of Paris Hilton naked in a Hummer with nothing but her beloved dog perched in her lap sold for $46,000 at a London charity auction that raised $2 million for the Elton John AIDS Foundation at Christie's Wednesday night, for a project called "Four Inches." The common theme in the photos for sale: naked female celebrities posing completely in the buff except for a pair of Jimmy Choo four-inch heels and a smattering of Cartier jewelry. Hilton herself showed up at the event, reports PEOPLE's London bureau, arriving half an hour before the midnight closing time. The highest bid was for a Kate Moss shot, which fetched a staggering $492,000. Sir Elton bid eagerly until the price hit $460,000 – which caused him to shake his head and drop his hand. "Don't worry, Sir," said the auctioneer. Besides the bargain for the Paris picture, Christina Aguilera posing in a bath sold for only $27,000.
Sizemore Sentenced on Drug-Related Charge
Originally posted 03/25/2005 08:00AM
Actor Tom Sizemore was sentenced Thursday to 17 months in jail and four months in a drug treatment facility for repeatedly failing drug tests while on probation, and then sentenced to additional inpatient drug treatment in a separate felony methamphetamine case, the Associated Press reports.
Judge to Tom Sizemore: Kick Drugs or Die
Originally posted 02/25/2005 08:00AM
CAUTIONED: A California judge gave Tom Sizemore a break Thursday when he let the 43-year-old actor remain free pending his sentencing next month for a probation violation, the Associated Press reports. Sizemore faces up to four and a half years in jail resulting from an altercation with his former girlfriend, onetime Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss. The judge let Sizemore stay out of jail, despite the fact that the troubled actor has failed seven drug tests, twice admitted methamphetamine use, and failed to show up for drug testing all within the past month. But the jurist had some harsh words for the actor: "There are two ways for you to go," Judge Antonio Barretto Jr. told Sizemore. "One is to recover. The other is to die."
Missy Elliot Street Wear Faces Royal Ban
Originally posted 02/14/2005 09:00AM
YANKED: Missy Elliott's street wear collection has been pulled from stores in Denmark because its logo was a bit too similar to that of the country's monarch, Queen Margrethe II, the Associated Press reports. The shoes, bags and shirts in the collection carry a logo that consist of a crown on top of the words "Respect" and Missy Elliott's initials "M.E." The queen's logo consists of a crown on top of the letters "M-2-R," with the "R" standing for the Latin word for queen, Regina. A spokesman for the line's manufacturer, Adidas, said the company agreed to remove the clothing from Danish stores, and that the similarity was a "surprise" coincidence.

Kathrine and Steve are warm, helpful and welcoming. Made what a spread for breakfast. Very kind hearted people. I forgot my passport in the room and Steve drove all the way to TIrau to give it to me. Room also very luxurous. A must stay
My friends (married), my husband and I had stayed two nights here. I loved the Kiwi couple that ran this place, Katherine and Steve. We talked for hours and she made a fantastic breakfast!

Philadelphia Archdiocese aims to ease deficit by selling properties
PHILADELPHIA -- The Archdiocese of Philadelphia announced Monday the planned sale of select real estate holdings, on a case-by-case basis, to address its operating deficit in the current fiscal year.
A deficit of at least $6 million is expected even before any extraordinary costs may be incurred.
Properties included are the previously announced sale of the archbishop's residence in the Overbrook section of Philadelphia, and Villa St. Joseph by the Sea in Ventnor, N.J.
Added to the list are Holy Family Center and a large portion of the adjacent Archdiocesan Pastoral Center parking lot in Philadelphia and the Mary Immaculate Retreat Center in Northampton, Pa.
"To address the cash flow challenges caused by the deficits, the church is faced with hard decisions," Philadelphia Archbishop Charles J. Chaput said in a news release. "It's similar to what families have to do when their expenses are greater than their income. We just can't afford to maintain and hold assets like Villa St. Joseph by the Sea and my residence. Holding on to these properties at this time would be inconsistent with the mission of our church."

The Victory Guesthouse
Friendly and spacious with a good price
What we say:
Finding budget accommodation in Siem Reap that might make you want to stay in with a good book rather than go out visiting the awesome temples of Angkor is a bit of a tall order. But the friendly staff, spacious rooms from just $10, and the convivial atmosphere of its communal lounge and restaurant all conspire to make the Victory Guesthouse a serious contender.
The Victory's 40 rooms are housed in two modern ochre-painted buildings on opposite sides of a quiet road between Route 6 – the Airport Road – and Sivatha Boulevard, Siem Reap's main shopping Street. It's a short walk to the start, if not the heart, of Siem Reap's action, and there are always tuk tuks on hand if you don't fancy the 15-minute walk to Pub Street and the Old Market area.
If you prefer getting around on two wheels, the guesthouse can arrange bike rental for you, and they also offer secure storage and 24-hour security if you do hire them elsewhere during your stay.
For those who seriously don't want to go too far afield, and like nothing better than to kick back and chill out once your sightseeing duties are done, then despite the quiet location, you could feasibly stay here for three nights, just lounging on the spacious balconies and roof terraces, and dine somewhere different each night without even leaving the Victory's own street.
The guesthouse has its own restaurant which is open 06:00 to 22.00, serving soups and snacks from $1.50, rice and noodle dishes from $3.00 and Western mains from $4.00. There are also cold drinks for sale – including local Angkor beer for $1 a can — and there's a communal fridge, which is handy if they don't sell what you like and you've managed to track down your own tipple in one of the town's supermarkets. Top tip – you can get a litre of gin for less than $10 at the nearby Angkor Market.
Less than 50 yards away is the lovely Mother Home Inn with its bar, terrace and restaurant (and pool if you are prepared to pay for the privilege), and in between The Victory and Mother Home is a handy – although as yet untested –street food stall, nestling in the shade of a pretty traditional wooden Khmer house.
You enter the Victory through the large restaurant and lounge area, surrounded by lush tropical plants and orchids, and beyond this is the reception, decorated with fresh-cut flowers and an eclectic collection of photographs, paintings and drawings.
The airy pastel-painted rooms are spread over three floors in each building and range from large single rooms – with double bed – from $10 a night (fan only) to triple-bedded rooms with air-con for $18 a night. All rooms have cable TV, free WiFi, and ensuite shower rooms with hot water. In the newer building, we did see some rooms without external windows, so ask to see rooms first if you want to avoid these. Long-stay guests can also enjoy the luxury of a fridge in the room – subject to availability.
Room rates include breakfast from an extensive menu including eggs, fresh fruit and pancakes, free airport or bus station pickup, daily drinking water and a free Siem Reap guide book. Daily room cleaning is available — you just have to leave your key at reception when you go out if your room needs freshening up. There is a tour desk, in-house laundry services – which means less risk of items going missing — and a safety deposit box.
The Victory is a very popular choice in the budget range so is a great place to meet people, not only fellow travellers but also volunteers and charity workers, as the guesthouse provides accommodation for two local NGOs. Booking ahead is always a good idea and in high season it's essential. While it may not quite make you want to give the temples a miss completely, Victory Guesthouse is a great value place that you'll certainly be happy to go back to after a day of hot and dusty temple-touring.

Vatican City, Sep 7, 2013 / 06:35 am (CNA/EWTN News).- In calling for a day of fasting and prayer for peace on Sept. 7, Pope Francis is following a long tradition of Popes showing a deep commitment to peace.

Sides debate value of Alley lease at forum
NAPLES - Get your alligators in a row, Collier County.
Speakers at a Friday forum on the potential lease of Alligator Alley ranged in their opinions on the wisdom of the plan, but were in agreement on an overarching issue: Collier County needs to get organized to make sure that the lease, if it goes forward, brings the maximum possible benefit to Collier County.
The discussion, hosted by the Urban Land Institute of Southwest Florida and the Economic Development Council of Collier County, had been a source of some contention among opponents of the lease, who argued that the program was designed to promote the lease concept.
However, Urban Land Institute Chairman Brian Goguen said the meeting's only agenda was to disseminate information from all sides of the issue.
Literature and position papers from lease advocates and opponents were made available to the 50 or so people who attended the meeting, Goguen pointed out, adding that the Urban Land Institute has stayed neutral on political issues.
The panel included Robert Poole, director of transportation studies for the Reason Foundation, a libertarian think-tank; David Rivera, vice president for Transportation for WilsonMiller Inc., of no relation to the Florida representative by the same name; Bob Murray, a member of the Collier County Planning Commission; and state Sen. Burt Saunders, who was added to the panel last week after a Collier County employee dropped out.
All four made opening presentations, then fielded questions during the second hour of the program, which was held at the Hilton Naples from 8 to 10 a.m. Friday.
Poole, who has been writing about — and advocating for — privatization of roads for two decades, expounded the benefits of road leases to the audience, which appeared to comprise a mixed bag of opponents, proponents and the merely curious.
He listed new sources of capital represented by private firms, the ability of the private sector to "squeeze more value out of anticipated traffic counts" and the willingness of firms to take on more risk than governments as pros in the arrangement.
However, he also admitted that the Florida Turnpike Enterprise, which operates the state's toll roads, is better run than most state toll agencies.
Fellow panelists and some audience members latched onto that point to discuss whether the state would be better off simply raising the toll rates itself, or even the gas tax, to accomplish the same goal without leasing a public asset for 50 years.
"There are ways for the Florida Department of Transportation to raise money from the tolls that are collected on I-75, just as they would be collected by a private agency," Saunders said. "There are functions of government that are critically important that government should not give up."
Saunders, who has been an outspoken critic of the proposal, suggested the state look into selling bonds on the road several times over the period of 50 years, picking up new ones as older ones are paid off.
Doing so, he said, the state could potentially outstrip the $350 million to $1.3 million in profits the road is expected to net over the next 50 years.
Rivera, who introduced himself as a lease advocate at a September public meeting, said the most crucial issue is to make sure the state is performing due diligence on the lease deal.
"I strongly believe the state will lease Alligator Alley," Rivera said. "That's what the indication is; that's what the will seems to be. We need to be working with the department (of transportation) to make sure the documents, the agreements all go accordingly to benefit Collier County."
Alligator Alley stretches across 78 miles of Collier and Broward counties. Though the majority of the road — about two-thirds — is in Collier County, Broward County's population is about five times larger. Panelists agreed that could be an impediment to striking a revenue-sharing agreement that would satisfy both counties.
Rivera agreed that the county's residents have little reason to trust the state.
"Why shouldn't we trust the state of Florida?" he asked. "Because it's not in our best interests to support them. Their interests are different than my interests."
However, Rivera suggested the people in the room and the professionals in the community get as educated as possible on the deal, a public-private partnership authorized by legislation passed in Florida in 2007. With a fraction of state transportation money coming to Collier County, and an estimated $766 million in immediate road needs, Rivera said, a lease of the alley makes the most sense for the state.
The state is set to release some of the most critical details of the draft lease agreement in the next week to two weeks, project executive Kevin Thibault said.
That includes the toll schedule, or the rate at which tolls would rise over the life of the lease, and the operating standards, the level of service a concessionaire would be obligated to uphold.
Proposals by six teams interested in the lease are due to the state in mid-December.
