Cambodia Hotel Tips by aukjejetty
Cambodia Hotels: 223 reviews and 201 photos

This was my open-air accomodation in Mondulkiri
In Cambodia you have the choice of numerous luxerious hotels, and on the other hand many (and many more quicly adding) guesthouses. There is wide range of budget you need for these accomodations. Guesthouses can be as cheap as a few dollars, and hotel can be as expensive as a few hundred.
The most expensive hotels seem to be in and around Angkor, here some of the most outrageous hotels are built, especially for the wealthy visitor of Cambodia. Battambang is a place that is not counting on rich visitors, and a fancy hotel for accomodation is hard to find there, although the Teo Hotel is fancy enough for most of us (for $11-$13).
As travelling in Cambodia becomes more popular, hotels and guesthouses are starting to see the light. Even in the less travelled places like Sen Monorom and Ban Lung it is quite easy to find a good place to get your sleep at night.

Surrey and Sussex head east
Surrey and Sussex will return to Dubai next year as part of their preparations for the 2010 domestic season.
Both sides took part in the Pro ARCH Trophy in the UAE this year, and have confirmed their participation in the Emirates Airline Twenty20 tournament next March.
The competition, which is separate to the Pro ARCH Trophy, takes place on March 19-20, and also features a young Kings XI Punjab side from the Indian Premier League and a Fly Emirates XI.
Gus Mackay, Surrey's managing director of cricket, said: "After the success of last year's tournament we were very keen to take part in the new format, which will provide even more of a chance for us to get match experience ahead of the season.
"The addition of an IPL franchise is a hugely welcome development as it will give us an opportunity to test ourselves against an exciting team we would not normally encounter."
Both English counties are expected to arrange further one-day games in Dubai as they build up to the start of the LV= County Championship campaign, which gets under way on April 9.

- Conference date: 26 June–1 July 2011
- Location: Chicago, Illinois
Shock wave propagation in diamond along the [110] crystallographic direction was simulated by molecular dynamics (MD) using the reactive empirical bond order (REBO) potential. A new regime of shock wave propagation was observed involving split elastic-elastic shock waves for the range of piston velocities between 2.0 and 4.1 km/s, and longitudinal stresses 126-278 GPa. The two-wave elastic-elastic splitting is caused by a stress-induced structural phase transition from a standard, low-pressure, to a high-pressure phase of REBO diamond, which takes place in the interval of pressures below the Hugoniot elastic limit. The observed phase coexistence in the second elastic shock wave is associated with a non-monotonic longitudinal stress-strain relationship upon uniaxial compression along [110] crystallographic direction.

Hackers target Canada Tibet Committee ahead of Dalai Lama visit
Likely a cyber espionage attempt
THE CANADA TIBET COMMITTEE was targeted in an email attack that tried to infect its computers with a trojan as the Dalai Lama was on his way to Montreal.
The Committee's email account received two rogue messages containing malicious attachments sent in the name of the its executive director Dermod Travis. One included a statement he made back in August on the topic of cyber crime.
The distributed trojan was clearly designed for cyber spying and has the ability to log keystrokes. Security experts and companies refer to such pieces of malware as advanced persistent threats (APTs).
"Canadians would never tolerate their fellow citizens trying to spy on them. We wouldn't tolerate our government spying on us. And the Canadian government must not tolerate foreign citizens or governments harassing those working on lawful public events in Canada," said director Travis, according to The Tibet Post.
The Canada Tibet Committee is organizing the public talk on global citizenship that the Dalai Lama is expected to give in Montreal tomorrow. The organization claims that posters for the event have been vandalized in recent days.
The technique of impersonating an organization's management or a colleague in order to trick employees into opening malicious email attachments is commonly used in cyber espionage operations.
The number of such attacks has increased significantly this year, or at least more of them are being publicly reported. Back in February the press learned that hackers managed to infiltrate the computer networks of two Canadian government agencies, the Finance Department and the Treasury Board.
UK foreign secretary William Hague also announced earlier this year that three members of his staff received trojan-carrying emails that appeared to orginate from a colleague in the Foreign Office.
Most notably, hackers used this technique to break into RSA Security and steal information about the company's SecurID product. Data stolen during that security breach is believed to have been used to attack Lockheed Martin and several other US military contractors.
"It's not unusual to see this type of heinous activity prior to a visit by the Dalai Lama, but rarely to this intensity. Regrettably, there are those who don't seem to know that we live in a free country and the culprits behind these attacks need to hear loud and clear that we won't be intimidated by them," Travis concluded. µ

Plinky asked, "Do you have a favorite work of art?"
No, I don't have a favorite work of art. My favorite artist is a young lady named Katie Armistead, and I couldn't possibly choose just one of her works as a favorite.
Other than her work, I have several favorite artists, from the well-known ones like Monet to lesser-known people such as Carl Lundgren and Lucy Synk. I've gone into more detail about them at http://technomom.com/sff/art.shtml .
I also enjoy Susan Seddon Boulet and Susan Van Camp's work, and Ansel Adam's photography among others. Some of the Raphaelites also appeal to me.

- ―"Collect them All" card info[src]
Cuddles is one of the main characters of Happy Tree Friends, and one of the four primary characters of the show, along with Giggles, Toothy, and Lumpy. He is considered the original Happy Tree Friend and the show's (unofficial) mascot, despite Shifty being created first.
Character Bio
Cuddles is a yellow rabbit with pink cheeks who inexplicably wears pink bunny slippers. His white, fluffy, curly hair tuft and cotton tail look exactly the same. His ears move to match how he feels. For example, when he's happy/energized they'll stay up, and when he's upset/sad they'll drop down. Cuddles is one of the primary characters in the series. Like Giggles, Toothy and Lumpy, he appears in many of the advertisements. Cuddles was the second character to be created in Happy Tree Friends (the first being Shifty). Creator Rhode Montijo first drew him on a piece of paper with the phrase Resistance Is Futile above and that was how the creators got the idea for the show. His voice is even performed by the co-creator of the show Kenn Navarro.
Cuddles' personality is somewhat mixed. On one hand, he can be dangerously mischievous and fairly self-centered. Both of these characteristics have led to the death of both himself and other characters. On the other hand, he is usually lovable, friendly, sweet and caring, making his personality more complex than the others. As revealed in Sweet Ride, he is referred to as a skaterboy. He was seen to have multiple houses, but his official one is considered to be a hollow tree, as it is the only one to appear more than once (In a Jam and Hear Today, Gone Tomorrow). He is particularly good friends with Toothy, Flippy, Petunia, Flaky, and Lumpy. Cuddles and Giggles are also very close friends, and it has been hinted several times they are romantically involved. Their relationship is most prominent in the Fall Out Boy music video The Carpal Tunnel of Love, and hinted at in the internet episode I Nub You.
With 60 deaths, Cuddles is the character who has been killed the most times in the Happy Tree Friends franchise. He is also the character who has, so far, been killed by Flaky, Toothy, Disco Bear, Lumpy and Flippy the most (though to be fair, Flippy and Lumpy generally kill everyone in episodes in which they are featured).
While he dies a lot in the Internet and TV series, Cuddles has survived in Doggone It, Sea What I Found, A Change of Heart, A Sight for Sore Eyes, Letter Late than Never, and Double Whammy Part I (but not part 2). In the internet shorts he survives Water Way to Go, We're Scrooged!, I Nub You, By The Seat Of Your Pants, and You're Kraken Me Up. He also survives the False Alarm episode, YouTube 101: Subscriptions, Youtube Copyright School, Oh Xmas Tree, and Star Kringle. In the HTF Break shorts he survived Deck the Halls, We Wish You, Take Your Seat and Happy New Year (Debatable). His deaths often involve his body getting sliced up, vehicles, and flying organs.Cuddles is one of the characters to have an account on Myspace. It mentions that he is actually allergic to carrots since they make him choke, though this was later denied in a 2015 tweet by Kenn Navarro. In addition, it mentions he collects powerful antique electric toothbrushes that and his fur is highly protected from the sun. He may look like a cute, cuddly, and sweet bunny rabbit (which is why his name is Cuddles) on the outside, but on the inside he's known as a rebellious Happy Tree Friend. His talents include extreme sports like skateboarding, surfing, and soccer. He even appears as literal a daredevil in Mime to Five. Cuddles loves listening to rock music, and he was once a member of "The Happy Tree Band". As evidenced in the Happy Tree Friends Break Seize the Day, Cuddles suffers from epilepsy the same way Handy does. He has appeared in one of the episodes of The God and Devil Show on God's keys, when they were chasing Robert Downey Jr. Cuddles is one of the characters to have more interactions with other characters in the series. He also made a cameo appearance on Gundarr, another Mondo show, in the form of a background totem.

I went to Oil Can Henry's to have my oil changed and transmission fluid drained and refilled. It was necessary for them to remove the plastic engine shield in order for them to do this. I asked the service attendant if they put new retainer snaps on when replacing the shield. He assured me that they do in every case. They performed their job and I drove home only to find my shield cover cover hanging from underneath my car and split into. A- The are incompetent if they believed that would not happen because those plastic retainers almost always break when removed, and B - they lied to me when they told me they always replace the retainer with new ones. Its the lie that angers me the most. OIL CAN HENRY WILL NEVER HAVE MY BUSINESS AGAIN!!

NorCal Jim: I am familiar with scanning slides but I wondered how you were using the 60mm macro lens to capture slides. Your picture is certainly worth a thousand words.
Thanks for sharing!
How well does the quality this clever rig provides compare to a slide scanner? I have a Nikon Coolscan IV ED I bought used that works fairly well, but software problems and lack of support make it almost impossible to use for more than one slide at a time...and I have thousands.
tbcass: Looks like a nice bag but it appears to be way over priced. I was interested until I saw the price. I bet it could sell for $100 and still return a good profit. It's not like it's made of real leather like an old bag I bought back in the 70's. Here's some that probably costs a lot more to manufacture, offer better protection and costs less. I would rate it only 2 stars because of the price.
And these.
Apples and kumquats! There is absolutely no comparison between suitcase- style gear lockers like the Pelican series and gadget bags meant for active use while being carried.
nerd2: $1199 m43 camera without weather sealing?
So who's the target audience for this camera? Retro fans will prefer Fuji, compact camera advocates will pick 1" compacts, and value-focused people have enough cheap options to choose.
I do like weather sealing - live in Saskatoon, Canada and travel a bit - and also chose the OM5 (since replaced by the II and an EM-1) for that reason. But the small size of this camera makes it attractive as a supplement. It should be easy to slip in and out of a coat pocket and looks well-made enough to withstand the occasional sprinkle or flurry of snow.
yahoo2u: Did i mention it's a nice camera, but nothing awe inspiring.
You've got that completely wrong. What makes a camera great is not its collection of features, but the experience of shooting with it. This is something that Olympus periodically gets exactly right. And like their OM-1 and the E-1, this camera looks like exactly the easy to pocket and instinctive-to-use "candid camera" many of us seek.
Frankly, the OM5II is probably the best camera that I've used in four decades. Only the original OM-1, the OM-4Ti and perhaps the Nikon F80 come close in terms of functionality, portability and overall pleasure-to-use. It is probably true that it is difficult to ensure the peak of skilled individually-adjusted finishing and assembly that the very best optics require outside of countries like Japan and Germany and the US. (I also use astronomical telescopes and eyepieces, with which this ia also the case. However, camera production seems to have become a highly automated and standardized process which companies like Nikon and Canon have also done and contracted out to a variety of other countries.
Bravo Olympus, for a very pleasant surprise.
While it is true that the user-interface and menu-system would certainly benefit from a significant work-over, and that a way of adding such features to the original |OM-5 would be wonderful, Olympus does seem to have really worked to provide owners with just about every improvement doable by software with the existing electronics and mechanical systems.
And they have, at least, very much included the EM-1 in the process.
The problem is, in fact, real.
As a former employment counselor for immigrant professionals, I have come to know a dozen+ pros from all over the world. Those *without* neck & shoulder problems are in the minority: big, fit usually younge guys. (This is a major reason that belts and vests, sling bags and more elaborate solutions as Katas convertible backpack-sling, Thinktank's rotating bags have become so popular.)
What matters is the weight, balance and bulk of the all the parts of - and the total package of - the kit needed to do a particular "shoot" or combination of shoots. While this may mean an 11"x14" view camera and tripod for Clyde Butcher, many great photographs as well as countless reviews and user reports demonstrate that mFT cameras and lenses from Olympus and pansonic (and the mirrorless offerings srom Sony and Samsung) can indeed do the job,
Olympus has has its problems. It has also long produced smaller, lighter camera kit much needed by many.
Prairie Pal: How hard can it be to design an endoscope? It's basically a GoPro attached to a rubber hose.
Really...so are you ready to be subjected to certain embarrassing and very uncomfortable medical procedures with a GoPro at the end of a rubber hose? I prefer to insist on the latest in miniaturization technology for same. There's a reason Olympus leads in Endoscopy.
rgump12: some of the comments here read like you guys are straight from 1959 middle america or something! "of course ff is the endpoint we should ALL aspire to, etc" ?! Are you serious?? The ignorance, to be saying what you happen to think the whole damn world should want because you Think so! The best part of it is that so many people who say things like this are the most dreary of image makers. After seeing Ray Metzker's half frame camera images of people on the beach, are you going to tell him that he Should aspire to some other type/size/whatever of camera?? Do you think that Kertesz blew it, because he really should have Moved Up to a Rolleiflex instead of one of those little film Leica cameras?? There are many people who might do well to move Up to a pinhole camera from their D800 to really get the kind of image they cannot with the FF Nikon. Is some company paying you to talk like that?? People who think like this Today are an embarrassment.
Cameras are tools for image making. W. Eugene Smith was fired from his first real job (Newsweek) because he used 35mm cameras and that publication considered inferior-quality toys. Many of his great photographs could never have been taken with other than his discrete little contax and leica cameras. This is also why one Iraq combat photographer insisted on using several little Olympus C5050Z P&S cameras rather than "pro" dslrs (you could run much faster with them!).
Clyde Butcher (like Ansel Adams before him) does indeed need big cameras for the work he does. Sebastiao Salgado needed weathrproof, Canon 1D's for the images he shot in hellish near-polar cold, ocean gales and steaming jungles in order to eventually make the big GENESIS museum d prints and book.
Most,photographers - and many pros - would be better served by smaller, lighter equipment that they will be able to afford build a fuller system with, and also carry with them on a regular basis, and even travel with.
DavinaG: It is funny how many "photographers" focus so much time arguing the technology and so little time capturing the art. The great photographers in history had a fraction of the toolbox we have and still inspire us. The camera used and enjoyed is the best tool for the job.
The point is that the great photographers of the previous century were able to take timeless pictures with equipment whose image - making ability - resolution, light sensitivity, colour-rendering ability, etcetera - was far inferior to even a mid range modern camera.
villagranvicent: For a medium format user full frame starts at 6x4.5cm... For a large format user full frame starts at 10x12.5cms, so which one is full frame? Agree with DavinaG, we spend too much time reviewing new gear instead of going out and taking pictures with whatever camera we have. At the end a bad photographer will create bad pictures not matter the camera and the other way around.
Because scissors are much easier to carry ;-)!
Dellis12: Time-honored argument...I started in film, shot 2 1/4, 645 along with 35mm as a pro. Switched to digital, went from APS-C to full frame. Got rid of my 5DIIs and 6 L-series lenses several months ago in favor of an OMD-EM1, knowing full well the "limitations" of the sensor and DOF. The reason was simple. I shoot mostly street and pointing a 4-lb black box either freaked out my subjects or enraged them. It's a different era. I've shot some of my best images ever with the Oly. The kit w/4 lenses is about 10 lbs, not 40. And given that I print no larger than 13x19, no image loss whatsoever. Point is that tools are just that. You've got to find a set that either inspires you to better work or makes it easier. Preferably both. Unless you're a pro shooting billboards, all of it is fantastic.
A year and a half ago I was in Rio di Janeiro and managed to shoot many worthwhile discrete and also many "surprised-but-delighted-to-have-my-picture-taken" pictures of interesting people and situations because I could slip two cameras with lenses (an Olympus OMD-5 and a PL-5 into and out of a discrete little Domke F5XC bag which also gave me instant access to 3 other lenses. T%here is no way I could have done that as effectively - or as safely (on the back streets of Rio!).
People do, very much, react to the size and form of cameras and lenses. So do thieves and muggers. And also airlines, with whom I've learned that it is indeed wise to have room (and weight allowance!) for a few other carry-on items in addition to photo stuff.
To me, there has long been something of an inherent absurdity in freighting what was designed to be a compact, carry-along-anywhere camera with huge bodies and lenses. And even-more to preserving that initial, double cine-frame format as sensors have evolved to the point where a micro Four Thirds or similarly-sized sensor can consistently equal or better the image quality to that was delivered by 35mm film cameras at their peak.
There are a very few who require the now-equal-to-what-medium -format-used-to-deliver output of such cameras. Sebastião Salgado's huge, magnificent images come to mind. So do the large and beautiful skyscapes o0f "Volcanoman" Brad Lewis, one of which hangs on our wall.
However, for the vast majority of photographers, "FF" is at best a questionable investment that becomes increasingly so as one grows older or less interested in hauling more than ten pounds of equipment.
(unknown member): Lightroom 6???
Lightroom has been their concession to those who insist on the right to own software. They are very likely waiting for us to give up and start renting.
erichK: I no longer have any interest inn Adobe and its products because I am unwilling to enter into ongoing indentured servitude with them.
There will always be some of us who refuse to bow to the dictates of huge, monopolistic corporations. Their strategy of crushing competition has always been essentially the same.
They tend to drive real innovation to the margins until they disintegrate from their very failure to respond to technological change because of their obsessive need to control and limit it. Kodak was a prime example.
I no longer have any interest inn Adobe and its products because I am unwilling to enter into ongoing indentured servitude with them.
erichK: Looks like a great carry-around camera, except for one thing: the 24-70 zoom range is just too short at the long end to really be useful.
Each to his or her own. I simply find that a take- along camera is much more useful if it goes to 120mm or especially 135mm (35mm equivalent).
I love the 24-120mm range Nikon seems to have pioneered, as the faster and closer-focussing 12-60 Olympus FT equivaent, and generally find say their mFT 12-40 much less useful as a walkabout lens. and I like walking!
Looks like a great carry-around camera, except for one thing: the 24-70 zoom range is just too short at the long end to really be useful.
The most important factor is Adobe's violation of their assurance that they would not compel Lightroom users to become captives of their "bleed-every-month" subscription system.
A very good reason to look elsewhere that this moster corporation for software. And an opportunbity for *real* innovators.

Good morning, guys . . .
Guz, dead?
I wouldn't count on it if I were you, Doowee.
All in all, not a bad week of strips.
Alternate Alley Oop Chapter 19 "The Savage Land of Promise"(15) 6/22/2013 Saturday
Panel One
"You've got to be kidding, Doc. That place was hard on us and we live what you would call a hard life." Alley said looking differently at the military APCs rumbled by one after the other.
Panel Two
"I know, Alley my friend, but that is what they are doing." Wonmug told him. "I have Dexter and Lavainge researching it for me. Something doesn't feel right about it." He finished stroking his short white
Panel Three
Alley's eyes narrowed and moved closer to the good doctor, "and when you do tell me and then we will do something about it." He whispered. grimacing all the while.
Watch out! Doowee's gonna get Guz's wallet. LOL
If Wizer puts crown under hat, who is brave enough to bother the bird?
Indeed a good week of strips.
Better than usual, but it's still just one week of an overall very lame story plot, illustrated very lazily with only two panels a day. And with the exception of one panel yesterday, they were very poorly drawn panels. I sure do miss Dave Graue.
No, Doowee, just unconscious — as revealed by the stars in panel-1.
What's the fate of Guz? We'll find out in the next week of strips…
Is Doowee kicking Guz?? Doesn't seem wise …
Looks rather grim here.
If he isn't dead, he'll soon wish he were.
maybe Doowee will try to kill Guz and Wizer will stop him, paving the way for a pardon for Wizer?
A great Summer greeting to the Benders and the readers of Alley Oop. What a great storyline we have here. The 3 protagonists in a closed location. At least it will be when Guz wakes up, although Doowee is projecting his hope that
Guz is dead.
So Oop gets all bent out of shape because King Guz puts two people in the pit. A terrorist and an anarchist.
He starts hollerin about rights and gets in a fight with Guz. If that's as far as it went, since Oop and Guz are friends, they may have been able to work things out afterward.
But I think that kicking the King into the pit would be an unacceptable action. Oop better be ready to completely overthrow the Kings rule or spend some time in the pit himself as soon as Guz gets out.
I think in Caveman days if you kicked the Chiefs butt it made you Chief. Long live King Oop!

Rev. Gregory F. Lucey, S.J., announces plans for retirement
Mobile, Ala. – Rev. Gregory F. Lucey, S.J. has announced to the
Spring Hill College Board of Trustees that he will retire as president
of the college on June 1, 2009. Fr. Lucey became the college's
37th president on June 1, 1997. This year marks his 12th year as
In his letter to the trustees, Fr. Lucey wrote in part, "For 11 years it has been my privilege and an honor to serve as the President of Spring Hill College. This has been for me a graced time. I am deeply grateful to God, the Board of Trustees and the community of Spring Hill College for this opportunity to bring my God-given gifts and my experience of years in leadership to the challenges of the presidency of the college in the evening of my life.
"We have been successful in meeting those challenges because we have worked together in partnerships. Spring Hill College is a different place from what it was a decade ago; it has been transformed physically, financially and academically. Spring Hill College has not known a better time in its 178-year history because of the commitment, dedication and generosity of members of the Board of Trustees, of the Jesuits and of the senior leadership, of the faculty and staff, the students, the alumni and friends of the college."
With a "Vision for the College on the Hill," Fr. Lucey set into motion plans that have led to record enrollments, and the implementation of a comprehensive Campus Master Plan that led to an investment of more than $100 million in new construction and renovations. These projects transformed the college over the past 11 years. Numerous buildings, including the Marnie and John Burke Memorial Library, a restored St. Joseph Chapel, Nan Altmayer Place, New Residence Hall, the Viragh Residence Hall Complex, the Rydex Commons, a remodeled Fine Arts Center, and planned Campus Center are among the major projects Fr. Lucey initiated.
In his written piece, "Vision for the College on the Hill," Fr. Lucey wrote: "Inside and outside the classroom, we introduce our students to a wide range of perspectives and encourage them to think critically and reflect inwardly about who they are, what they believe and the contribution they hope to make to the world as it is and as it will become. We emphasize preparation for professional excellence through diverse and comprehensive learning opportunities."
"Through visionary thinking and strategic directives, Greg Lucey truly elevated Spring Hill College to a new level of living and learning for students," said Jack Schuessler, chairman of the college's Board of Trustees. "With his leadership, charisma and determination, he helped the college reach new heights of quality and success and be effective in achieving its most important mission, developing leaders in service to others."
Alumni and friends of the college have made sure Fr. Lucey's vision would be remembered in a special way. Construction is under way for renovation and restoration of the historic Administration Building. Scheduled for completion in 2009, the building will be named the Rev. Gregory F. Lucey, S.J. Administration Center, in honor of Fr. Lucey's leadership, vision and contributions to the college.
Fr. Lucey has been an active force in Mobile since he assumed the college presidency and has been firm in his belief that the college plays an important role and has an obligation in making Mobile a better community. In 2005, the Civitan Club of Mobile named Fr. Lucey Mobilian of the Year in recognition of his achievements.
One of Fr. Lucey's important goals has been to enrich the Spring Hill experience for every student while making the 178-year-old institution a premier, residential, Catholic liberal arts college in the Jesuit tradition. Spring Hill College is ranked 11th among the 120 Southern colleges and universities granting master's degrees, according to the 2008 edition of U.S. News & World Report's "America's Best Colleges." The college is also ranked 8th among only 15 schools listed in the South's "Great Schools, Great Values" category, campuses that offer quality academic programs, affordable tuition and significant financial aid.
Spring Hill's traditional undergraduate enrollment has grown from approximately 930 undergraduate students in 1997 to more than 1,160 today. Total enrollment of undergraduate, graduate, and non-traditional students is now more than 1,500.
The class of 2011 includes students from 24 states and 30 percent rank in the top 10 percent of their high school graduating class, while 62 percent rank in the top 25 percent of their graduating class.
Student success has been apparent in the past 11 years. In addition to an excellent placement record of students into medical, dental and law schools, education majors have a 100 percent success record in job placement, more than 30 percent of graduates enroll in graduate programs, and nursing and business students continue to score high on national tests.
Fr. Lucey has directed a number of academic program initiatives during his term including the Spring Hill's first online degree program, a master's degree in nursing, and launching online courses in theology with ecclesial ministry programs for the Archdiocese of Atlanta and other dioceses. Sixty-four percent of the present faculty has been hired during Fr. Lucey's presidency. The size of the faculty has increased from 60 to 85 since 1997, and more than 86 percent of the faculty hold terminal degrees. He has also championed numerous faculty and staff professional development initiatives.
Ensuring financial strength of the College has also been a focus of Fr. Lucey's presidency. The college's endowment has more than doubled during his tenure, from $23 million to nearly $50 million.
Alumni and friends who have visited the campus over the past 10 years have seen the transformation of the college unfold. Examples include:
St. Joseph Chapel Restored
St. Joseph Chapel, the most recognized building at the center of the college, honors the tradition of Catholic and Jesuit education in the Mobile area.
Nan Altmayer Place
The former Moore Hall was renovated and expanded to house the admissions office and the offices of the president and the executive vice president.
The Marnie and John Burke Memorial Library
The library holds nearly 200,000 volumes and 140 computers. With flexible spaces and resources for teaching and learning the Burke Memorial Library is at the center of the academic excellence at the college.
Viragh Hall Complex
Two modern residence halls with common areas in a beautiful setting provide rooms for more nearly 300 students.
New Hall
The new residence hall features 222 beds arranged in a mix of single and double rooms and includes a laundry facility and multiple common spaces.
Byrne Memorial Hall
One of the most recognizable buildings on the college campus, Byrne Memorial Hall, formerly the Thomas Byrne Memorial Library, has been redesigned and renovated to serve as a welcome center for alumni and friends and to house the college's alumni, development and communications and marketing offices. Byrne Memorial's great hall has been renovated to serve as a hall for lectures and other campus events.
A Wisconsin native, Fr. Lucey entered the Society of Jesus in 1951 and was ordained in 1964. Prior to coming to Spring Hill, Fr. Lucey served as president and chairman of the board of the National Jesuit Conference based in Washington, D.C. from 1994-1996. He served as rector of the Jesuit community at Marquette University (1989-1994) and vice president for development at Seattle University (1978-1988). He received a Ph.D. in educational lhughesistration from the University of Wisconsin at Madison, an M.A. in liturgy from the University of Notre Dame, as well as undergraduate and graduate degrees in philosophy from St. Louis University.
Fr. Lucey founded and served as director of Marquette's Center for Ignatian Spirituality, and in 1995 he attended the 34th General Congregation of the Society of Jesus as one of 200 delegates worldwide. He celebrated his 75th birthday in January.
The Board of Trustees has initiated a search process for a new president.

By Staff Sgt. Jeffrey Smith, Fort Carson MountaineerFebruary 17, 2010
FORT CARSON, Colo.-The military retiree community in the El Paso County area is staying active and doing what it can to help not only their own, but active-duty members and their Families as well.
Many retirees leave the military and lose their connection to the service they spent so many years serving in. Volunteering is a way to stay connected and continue to be a part of something.
"Once you're military, you carry that sense of belonging, a sense of connectivity to the Soldiers," said Joey Bautista, the Fort Carson Army Volunteer Corps Manager. "I think that's what happened. They want to come back. Because one way or another they want to fill the gap."
According to Bautista, Fort Carson, with a little more than 3,500 volunteers, has the largest volunteer force in the Army. About eight percent of that work force - about 450 - is retired military.
Jim Collins, who retired as a sergeant first class with more than 20 years in the Army, didn't want to sit at home all day doing nothing. He wanted to occupy his time working with Soldiers again and volunteering afforded him that opportunity.
"When I decided that I wanted to volunteer, I knew I was going to volunteer here on Fort Carson," Collins said. "I think I'm still helping Soldiers. So that makes it worth coming in for."
Collins has been volunteering about three days a week at the Army Community Service building since last February, and he feels that it's something that all retirees should consider doing as a way of giving back to the military community.
"Guys complain that they have nothing to do. Well come on down here," Collins said. "I think it's good. All retirees should look into (volunteering)."
Donating their free time to the military is not the only way that the retiree community is staying active though. The Fort Carson Retiree Council, chaired by Lonny Cupp, works on a number of projects that help retirees, active duty military and Family members alike.
"We are the liaison between the retiree community and the garrison commander, and the division commander, and ultimately the chief of staff of the Army," said Cupp. "The council's really taken up issues that impact not only on the retirement community, but also the active-duty component and the reserve component as well."
According to Cupp, the council has partnered with the American Legion, the Huey 091 Foundation, and a number of other organizations to provide services like getting motorized wheelchairs to severely handicapped veterans, providing welcome home socials for returning troops and sending Family members of deceased Soldiers to Disneyland.
"That's what we're trying to do as retirees, is keep people involved," said Cupp. "But also, we let the troops know that we've been there, we understand."
Cupp encourages retirees to stay involved by volunteering their time on post, at an organization, or by becoming a member of any number of associations for retired veterans. These organizations take part in lobbying Congress and fighting for benefits that affect the active-duty Soldiers and the retirees as well.
"There's a whole lot of organizations that they can join," Cupp said. "If they're just a member of one, for every member that each one of those organizations have on its roles, the congressional leaders look at the fact that they can influence five to eight others."
Being retired doesn't have to mean one stops working. It can be an opportunity to support the community and continue to serve the country, just in a new way.

Additionally, he was elected as a Fellow in the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in May 2005.
Question: What is the greatest challenge facing the U.S.?
Stephen Walt: I think that, you know, as someone who has spent most of my career thinking about American foreign policy, I think the United States is going to have to do an enormous amount of adjusting over the next 30 to 40 years – adjusting both to sort of environmental limits that we're now starting to become aware of; adjusting to China's emergence as a major power, followed by India's emergence as a much more consequential state. I think the globalization will affect us the same way it affects everybody else, and that's gonna require some adjustments. Just to put it in one . . . one frame of reference, the United States has had the world's largest economy since about 1900. We're sort of accustomed to being the biggest economic actor on the block. Well at some point – maybe in my lifetime, but not too long after that – that's probably not gonna be the case. And that's going to involve some adjustments on . . . on America's part. And it's not clear to me that these adjustments were ready to make. Most countries, as they start to become relatively less influential, find it a painful process. I would like to accelerate the learning process. I would like us to learn to adjust to living in a world where we are not just the 800 pound gorilla out there. And I'd like us to learn that as quickly as possible.

He gets you to agree with him, and then he brings in a counternarrative that seems just as convincing. Son of a white American mother and of a black Kenyan father whom he never knew, Obama grew up mainly in Hawaii. After college, he worked for three years as a community organizer on Chicago's South Side. Then, finally, he went to Kenya, to find the world of his dead father, his "authentic" self. Will the truth set you free, Obama asks? Or will it disappoint? Both, it seems. His search for himself as a black American is rooted in the particulars of his daily life; it also reads like a wry commentary about all of us. He dismisses stereotypes of the "tragic mulatto" and then shows how much we are all caught between messy contradictions and disparate communities. He discovers that Kenya has 400 different tribes, each of them with stereotypes of the others. Obama is candid about racism and poverty and corruption, in Chicago and in Kenya. Yet he does find community and authenticity, not in any romantic cliche{'}, but with "honest, decent men and women who have attainable ambitions and the determination to see them through."Tags: humor, books, autobiography, reading, interior design, politics, home decor, unique, politicalAdded 8 Years Ago from Amazon.com

Holocaust, Hate Speech & Were the Germans so Stupid?
Having been tortured, Rudolf Höss, who was the commander of Auschwitz from 1940 to 1943, almost certainly lied to save the lives of his wife and children. Even if torture and duress cannot be proven, the overwhelming reason for recognizing the utter falsity of the Höss confession is that the gassing method he described was not scientifically plausible.
Yet Höss's conviction has stood, by inference, as a testament to the cruelty of Germans in general, since he was tried at Nuremberg, in 1947, and subsequently hanged on April 16th, 1947, in Poland.
Making a statement like this which doubts the officially ordained narrative can be a crime in a number of western "democracies," believe it or not, and it is at least considered to be reprehensible in those countries that have not (yet?) outlawed dissenting views on this topic.
This video discusses the social and judicial persecution of individuals voicing dissident opinions on the historical event usually referred to as the Holocaust. It castigates that persecution and lays bare the illegality and amorality of such activities. In addition, a number of the most striking historical arguments why dissenting = revisionist views on the Holocaust are reasonable, are presented. A brief look into the political agenda of those furthering the orthodox Holocaust narrative rounds up this amazing movie.

Anchor Anusuya to do an item number with Pawan Kalyan?
Anchor Anasuya is rumoured to be doing an item song in Pawan Kalyan's upcoming movie Atharintiki Daredhi. Though the officials have not confirmed this, many sources from the industry say its true.
When Anasuya was asked to confirm about this, she answered with a smile. What ever the reasons for them to keep this a secret, it will not remain a secret for very long. The Telugu anchor Anasuya, who became famous from the show Jabardasth, has all that is needed to put the screen on fire with her dance moves. If it is Pawan Kalyan who will dance along with her, the audiences are in for some fun time.
This is not the first time an anchor has worked in an item number. Udhaya Bhanu and Chitralekha have done this in the past. They have remained successful anchors who have also done some hot item numbers in various Telugu Movies. Anasuya in this movie is said to be Pawan's crush in his college days.
It's only a matter of time when we come to know, if we get to see Anasuya teaming up with Pawan Kalyan on screen in a steaming hot item number or not.

Word of the day
lyric piece
A short instrumental composition that is typically very expressive and melodic and often represents personal feelings and moods. The lyric piece is similar to a character piece or program music, however, the composition attempts to create moods and feelings without the narrative of a program or depiction of specific people or actions.
Edvard Grieg composed ten books of piano compositions between 1884 and 1901. Each composition has a descriptive title "Lyric Piece" that is comprised of 66 short compositions with descriptive titles such as, Remembrances, Melancholy, To Spring, and Wedding Day At Troldhaugen.
Also, character piece, program music.
