Testing Instructions:
First you have to give a user the capability "createpublictemplate" and if the user should be able to delete a public template so also the capability "deletetemplate". Both capabilities must be given for the system-context. I have done this by creating a new empty role with just this two capabilities and have a user assigned at "Assign system roles"
The user should also have the capabilities like a teacher on a course-context so that the user can create/modify a feedback.
Login as that user
Create a feedback in any course
Insert one or more question-items but at least one label with an image
Go to the Templates-tab. You should see the checkbox "public".
Check the box "public", put a name in the textbox and safe a new template
The dropdownbox should now show this new template grouped by "public"
Safe a template again but without checking the box "public". This template should be listed grouped by "course".
Click on "Delete template…" All templates are grouped by "course" and "public"
Login as any editingteacher and go into a course.
Create a new empty feedback.
Go to the Templates-tab.
In the dropdownbox the public template should be shown.
Select this template.
Now the preview of the template is shown and also the included image!
Click on "Save changes" to use this template for the feedback.
You will be redirected to the "Edit question" area.
There should be shown the questions from template including the image!First you have to give a user the capability "createpublictemplate" and if the user should be able to delete a public template so also the capability "deletetemplate".

Could 'Affects Version/s' be updated to reflect 2.1 please? We had this feature in 1.9, would be useful to have it again in 2.1.
Hi Paul,
I assume you mean the public template feature. I can implement this feature with a small limitation.
Public templates only can be created on feedbacks which are located on the frontpage.
Best regards Andreas
Hi Andreas. Yes, that's the one. We've had a behind-the-scenes report since 2008 which collates the results from precicely-named Feedback instances, so this will be very useful.
Note that we have a policy of not introducing new core features in stable branches.
Hi Andreas,
I'm send this back round this week sorry so that the following things can be tidied up before this gets integrated.
- delete_template.php: The public suffix should be created as a string to which the template name is passed.
- $CFG->frontpage is a setting that controls what gets displayed on the front page. There are a couple of uses introduced by this patch that I don't think are right. Leads to:
Debug info: ERROR: invalid input syntax for integer: "0,1"
SELECT * FROM mdl_feedback_template WHERE course = $1 AND ispublic = $2 ORDER BY name
[array (
0 => '0,1',
1 => 1,
Stack trace:

- Are we sure we only want to allow people to create public templates from feedback instances on the frontpage? Given that we have the capability for it couldn't we just rely on that?
- When preparing the feedback edit form I think it would be better if we grouped options rather than prefixing the template name with an *. Alternatively if its decided to continue using the * we should probably have a string for it so that should it have a different meaning or understanding in other languages they can change it.
Other than those this looks very good! Presently because of the above error I can't get too far into playing with it in the interface and I look forward to seeing that!
In regards to which branches this will be applied to because it is a new feature (despite having all the hooks + capability there) it will only go into master. Perhaps if there is a strong enough case it can be backported to MOODLE_21_STABLE however that is more Eloy/Martins call.
Hi Sam,
thank you very much for testing the code. I have used this var $CFG->frontpage stupidly . I should use SITEID for that. I was blind while using this. I will solve this shortly.
I wanted to use the frontpage as a place for global templates because I could do an easier check for passing files in feedback_pluginfile(). The problem is the use of templates on other places including its files.
The feature isn't really new. It was deactivated in 2.x doe to the new file-api. Now I could solve the sitewide access to files in public template and want it back.
Best regards
Hi Sam,
now I replaced all use of $CFG->frontpage with SITEID. I think it should now work as expected.
It would be really great if this changes go not only into master but at least into the stable 21. The feature was all the time there but only hidden, because problems with files.
Thank your very much!
Best regards
Hi Andreas,
Thank you for cleaning up SITEID thing. I've been looking at this again this morning and have had a good chat with Eloy about this as well to get his feelings on a couple of things.
First up the question of which branches this should be applied to - after talking to Martin yesterday and Eloy this morning it's been decided that this will only be integrated on master.
As for the patch I am nearly entirely happy with it - there are several points I mentioned above that haven't been tidied up that should be however I am happy to create issues for that after the fact as they are all very minor.
There is still one thing that catches my eye every time I look at these changes and that is that public templates can only be created within a front page feedback activity. I'm sorry but it doesn't feel right and it suggests larger problems with file contexts.
Because of my feelings on this I asked Eloy to have a look at the changes and see what he thought and he identified the same thing - that limiting the creation of public templates to front page activities doesn't feel correct.
I've had a look at the code and can see why it has been done like that; presently the template code assumes (nee requires) a course in regards to file handling and changing this functionality will require larger changes to feedbacks file and template handling.
What we need to decide at the moment is whether or not we delay this and require those changes to be made before this gets integrated.
If we integrate this now and then decide in the future to improve it with this functionality it is going to be a much harder task.
Presently I am leaning towards delaying this issue so that we can improve this functionality to allow public templates to be created from within any feedback activity in which the user has `mod/feedback:createpublictemplate`.
Using the capability alone feels much more correct to me than requiring a front page activity as well.
Eloy had a great idea as well to change the context level for `mod/feedback:createpublictemplate` to CONTEXT_SYSTEM as well so that admin's can control the creation of public templates across the various levels within Moodle.
Looking at the code I can see the following changes would need to be made:
- Remove the SITEID checks when creating public templates.
- Edit the capability changing contextlevel to the system context
- Alter feedback_create_template so that if the template is to be public the course is set to either 0 or null - however null would require DB changes as feedback_template.course is presently not null.
- Alter feedback_save_as_template, feedback_items_from_template, feedback_delete_template so that when storing and retrieving files things are done through a system context filearea.
- Review other area's within feedback where a course is being passed so that to ensure they allow for templates without courses.
Presently Andreas I've left this in integration so that we can get your thoughts on it and then decide what should happen here, if there is a strong enough argument for putting it in now it will go in.
As mentioned above personally I think we should fix this up so that public templates can be created from any feedback module as this feels more complete than the frontpage only solution presently - also easier to fix up now than later.
Note: While looking at this issue I also spotted a bug within feedback whereby when deleting a template it doesn't delete the template items. I'll create a bug for this shortly.
Hi Sam,
I understand the problem with public templates only located on the frontpage. I had some problems with fileaccess while using this template.
I could do this as you explained. To delete templates I have to show all public templates in any feedback on any course if the user has the capability "mod/feedback:createpublictemplate". This capability must be given on the system-context, am I right?
Nevertheless your suggestion sounds good. I will play around this and inform you again.
Thank you very much for your detailed explanation.
Hi Sam, Andreas,
thanks a lot for the "evolution" of the issue, the last proposal sounds really great and avoids the "must have feedback @ front page" thing.
So I'm reopening this now... ciao
Hi Sam & Eloy,
I agree to all you said. Now I have rewritten all this things as sam suggested.
Now all users who has the createpublictemplate capability on system context are able to create public templates in any course.
The template listing for using these templates is now grouped by a selectgroups element.
Also the delete_template page lists the templates grouped by "course" or "public". So there is a better structure.
The branch MOODLE_20_STABLE I have left out. I think it is not so important for that.
Thank you very much for your effort on testing my chaotic code .
Best regards
The main moodle.git repository has just been updated with latest weekly modifications. You may wish to rebase your PULL branches to simplify history and avoid any possible merge conflicts. This would also make integrator's life easier next week.
TIA and ciao
Side note: it looks better wow, thanks, although I think we should create some new issue to fix a lot of "coding-standards" the module is breaking (surely for master only).
Things like spaces after //, or incorrect spacing in practically all if/else/for sentences should be fixed. Not a blocker at all, but better we try to follow the rules.
Note this side note is separated 100% from this issue, issuing my +0.2 here and leaving it to Sam.
Hi Eloy,
what is the best way to correct the coding-standards? Should I go from this state here or from the current master or MOODLE_21_STABLE?
Can I do all in one branch and resolve more than one issue with that branch?
It will be a big job and I do not want to leave some things.
Best regards Andreas
Hi Andreas,
Thanks for making those changes - things look much better and this has been integrated now (Thanks for fixing the issue with deleting template items at the same time )
I've also created
MDL-29804 to clean up the coding style as suggested by Eloy - he is quite right it would be nice to tidy that up in master. The best point to tackle that by the way Andreas would be after this weekly release so that you avoid any/all conflicts by using the most up to date master.
Hi Sam,
Thank you for creating this new issue. Am I right, the changes here will only get into the master for the version 2.2 so I only need to clean the code on the master-branch?
Hi Andreas,
You are spot on in that these changes have only been integrated for master, and that the coding style should only be tidied up in master.
Unless there is a good reason we only make cosmetic changes such as coding style within master so that we don't increase the risk of breaking people custom code/modifications between minor releases on the stable branch.
Let me know if you have any questions regarding the clean up and I'll be more than happy to help
The patch works well in master.
However, just wondering if some improvement is needed for labeling question-item. Currently if label field is empty, on preview page, the question is display as '() question_name'. I think it looks better if empty bracket is not display if label is not set.
I'm passing this issue.
Hm, I also thought about the label. I think a good way could be a default value like "no label" if empty. Shall I open a new issue for that?
Best regards
Thanks Andreas for the suggestion.
I created
MDL-29823 to improve the label.
Many thanks for all the hard work. This is now part of Moodle, your favorite LMS.
Closing as fixed, ciao

By Kevin Tate/Outdoors Writer
When it comes to preparing wild game, some of the best loved and most reliable methods involve the stew pot rather than the frying pan, oven or grill.
Squirrels and rabbits may lead the list of stew starters, but all game large and small works well in the pot, veteran wild game chefs say. It's an easy, reliable, adjustable way to cook so that with only a few basic criteria observed, anyone can turn out a great dish.
Donnie Kisner of Tupelofollowed his grandfather into the squirrel woods of the Siloam community for years and, though they typically fried the resulting bounty, it's a method he says leaves too much to chance when a better plan awaits.
"They fried them all the time, but it's lean meat and it can be tough as shoe leather if you don't get it just right," he said.
Kisner's squirrel stew method is simple and easy, he said.
"After the squirrels are cleaned, I put them in a pot with salt, pepper, garlic, celery, onions and bell pepper," he said. "I use generous amounts of onion and celery, then cover all that up with water."
Fall off the bone
That mixture cooks at a hard boil for two hours until the meat is tender enough to easily remove from the bone. With the bones removed and the meat and the rest of the stock returned to the pot, Kisner says, then you can ramble through the kitchen cabinets and use whatever you like within reason. He adds whole tomatoes, tomato juice and tomato paste, but says you can take a beef-stew direction as well.
"The real beginning is when you're boiling the squirrel to get it off the bone," he said. "You could just boil it in water, but your stock's not going to have much flavor. Squirrel's a very lean meat, so it pays to dress it up a little bit."
Kisner said he does not add jalapeno peppers to the stew while it's cooking, noting that was one experiment he doesn't care to repeat.
Easy on the heat
"Not everybody likes the hot stuff,"he said, "and that's something that's pretty particular to individual taste."
Kathy Mattoon, of Gunnison, Colo., takes a similar attitude toward elk and other big game. Browning a couple pounds of cubed meat in a cast iron skillet using bacon grease, she salts the meat at that point rather than salting the whole pot later.
With the meat browned, she adds Cajun seasoning, fresh ground pepper, diced onion, garlic and sliced mushrooms to taste along with four to five tablespoons of Better Than Bouillon brand beef base to a large crock pot. Next into the pot goes one to two teaspoons of Kitchen Bouquet brand browning sauce, a cup of rinsed pearled barley and at least eight cups of water.
add plenty of water
Use another cup of water to deglaze the pan in which the meat was browned, add that to the pot and you're ready to go.
"My favorite thing to do is to put it on , turn the crock pot on low, let it cook overnight and you have dinner the next evening when you get in from your hunting day or work," Mattoon said. "It's good year-round, by itself or with a grilled cheese sandwich. Wild game is as organic as you can get."

"Unprecedented bad weather at the moment in DC. I however cant wait for something warmer. I had these shoes last year. The most comfy flip flops. I can walk for miles in them. The other ones got destroyed as I lived in them. SO much so I bought two pairs for this summer. There is a new feature of a padded daisy in the heel but it seems to be just as comfy and the heel needed reinforcement (when you wear them like I do. I totally recommend."

This Polar Plunge, along with the other plunges, is a fundraising event that allows people in the Utah community to register and get friends, family, co-workers and businesses to sponsor them to jump into an ice-cold lake or swimming pool – usually in a costume of some sort.
Participants are welcome to register as individuals, as teams or as a "chicken," (someone who raises money, but does not take the plunge.) After the initial registration fee of $10, participants can raise the remaining amount due, $40/adults and $30/students, or pay for it on their own. However, Special Olympics Utah encourages all participants to ask peers and associates for donations to help raise awareness about the impact of Special Olympics in the lives of individuals with intellectual disabilities. Anyone at any age is welcome to participate in Special Olympics Utah's Polar Plunges, as long as those under 18 have parental permission. Participants can invite friends and family to come watch them as they jump into the cold water.
Anyone can register online by following the links at www.sout.org or they can register on-site the day of the plunge for an extra $10. Everyone registered by Feb. 18th is guaranteed to receive a commemorative Polar Plunge t-shirt on the day of the event.
Every year, the law enforcement community of Utah raises funds for and awareness of the Special Olympics movement. The Law Enforcement Torch Run® is an actual running event where officers and athletes carry the Special Olympics "Flame of Hope" To the Opening Ceremonies of local tournaments, or State, Provincial or National Summer or Winter Games. In addition to the main running event are several special fundraising events. One of the most popular and outrageous is the Polar Plunge.

The undefeated Toronto Maple Leafs (going to use that as much as possible) travel to the Big Apple to put their perfect record on the line as they take on the New York Rangers. The 1-1 Rangers are coming off of a 6-4 loss to their local rivals the New York Islanders.
There are a couple of interesting articles worth a read in the build up to the game:
- Steve Burtch takes a look at the importance of the early season games against the Rangers. These will go a long way in the fight for the last couple of playoff spots.
- Puck Prospectus predicts that the Rangers would be on their way to being the most improved team in the NHL. The most amazing thing is just how thin the line is between the lower and upper tiers of the league.
- Damien Cox compares the two franchises and finds a lot in common. The biggest surprise is that both franchises were willing to bury so much money in the minors.
- Colton Orr is going to be back in the line-up after his unfortunate run-in with Deryk Engelland's right fist. Someone should skate and tell Derek Boogaard dat.
Lance Hornby provides the stat of the day:
Lundqvist's career .899 save percentage vs. Tor is his only sub-.900 mark against any Eastern team.
The biggest sign that things have changed in Leafland? Here's an excerpt of what the team did in Manhattan:
With three wins in three outings to start the season and a day off in Manhattan, Ron Wilson did what any good father figure would do.
Took the boys to the amusement park.
Oh, they had to practise. But the location was Chelsea Piers on the Lower West Side, a sprawling 30-acre complex where you can play any number of sports and games and houses the set for TV's Law and Order. The Maple Leafs dressed at Madison Square Garden and bussed south, tromping up to the second floor Sky Rink in full gear except for skates before working out for an hour with the Hudson River and a view of New Jersey as a backdrop through large windows on one side of the rink.
It was a much different case last year when some players organised a helicopter ride in NYC. Phil Kessel summed up the good mood that the team is in this year. As much as I look to stats to explain what is happening with the Leafs - like goalies actually stopping the puck, a penalty kill that shockingly actually kills penalties - there is also a nascent comraderie amongst the holdovers from last year's opening night and the myriad additions since that fateful trip. The real test will be in handling the first signs of adversity. Hopefully we'll still have some time to find out how they'll cope.
In honour of the Leafs' first trip to Madison Square Gardens here's a classic fight from 1978:
"Colton Orr is going to be back in the line-up after his unfortunate run-in with Deryk Engelland's right fist. Someone should skate and tell Derek Boogaard dat."
Was there ever any doubt? Orr is a monster. Boogaard might blind Orr with all his diamond rings, earings, and neclaces but I see Orr taking him down.
Do we know when the last time they started off 4-0?
Go Leafs!
"1993-1994 was the last time they started 4-0."
Thank you sir.
I think they have a really good shot at it, but it will depend which Ranger team shows up tonight. I have a feeling it will be a 1-0 game, or be 5-6 lights out game with at least 1 goalie pulled (probably both). But now that I've posted my prediction on the internet, the game is sure to be jinxed with a 2-3 shootout win. (Does that 3rd one count as a prediction, further jinxing myself?)

- 1 Introduction
- 2 Step One: Planning a teen podcast
- 3 Step Two: Producing a podcast
- 4 Step Three: Publishing the Podcast
- 5 Step Four: Promoting the Podcast
- 6 Podcasting Resources
In this guide, librarians will learn what a podcast is, how they can be used to connect with teens, and the basic steps for creating a library podcast.
What is a podcast?
A podcast is a collection of digital recordings that are made available on the Internet for downloading to a personal computer or portable audio player. Simply put, they are digital audio files that are created, shared, and heard. People use podcasts to present news and personal commentary. They are used as a communication tools by educational, business and government organizations.
Podcasts are "casted" over the course of several episodes, much like a radio show is broadcasted into daily, weekly, or monthly segments. Listeners can subscribe to their favorite podcasts with podcatchers such as I-Tunes. Each time a new episode is released, the podcatcher will be updated with new content.
Why begin a Podcast?
Teen librarians are beginning to use podcasts as a way to involve and empower the teens that they serve with technology. Teens can create podcasts to express their opinions and share their voice regarding personal interests and passions.
There are a number of positive projects that teens can get involved with when creating podcasts:
- Record live reports of special events such as teen talent shows, videogame tournaments, and author talks.
- Provide teen-driven reader's advisory in the format of recorded book talks and reviews of teen novels, manga, music CDs, audiobooks, and films.
- Showcase creative writing where teens share essays, poems, short stories, and excerpts from novels they have written.
- Support teen culture by recording discussions, news, and reports about the every day life of the teenagers in your community.
- Archive meaningful stories from their lives as an oral history. (See this Step-by- Step Guide to Oral History.)
Step One: Planning a teen podcast
The very first step in planning a teen podcast is to meet with teens in your community. Find out their interest and commitment to recording a podcast. You and the teens will need to come to a consensus on the following points:
- What subjects and content will be covered in the podcast?
- What type of training is needed so that the group can get started with podcasting?
- What is the name of the podcast and how often will the episodes come out? Who is the audience for the podcast?
- Who is responsible for writing content? Who is responsible for editing? Who is responsible for promotions?
When podcasting with teens, it's best to follow a youth participation model in which the teens are the driving force behind the content, production, and promotion. A show created by teens for teens is more likely to be listened to than a podcast created for teens by librarians.
Step Two: Producing a podcast
The good news is that podcasting equipment is relatively inexpensive, and sometimes completely free if you already own a PC microphone.
Basic tools for podcast creation include:
- PC microphone
- Production Software
- Computer
PC microphones can be built-in or external. For more information on the different types of microphones that can be used, read Bart Farkas' chapter on podcasting equipment from Peach Pit Press.
Production Software
Garage Band runs on MAC OS and is known for being a simple and intuitive production tool for podcasting. The program comes preinstalled on most MAC OS systems, and is conveniently equipped with built-in sounds clips.
Windows or Mac OS users can download a free audio production program called Audacity. There are many web tutorials on using Audacity to create podcasts, but the best place to start is with the software-supported tutorials.The YouTube video tutorials are also great starting points for learning the software, in addition to the ebook, Podcasting with Audacity: Creating a Podcast With Free Audio Software.
Hot Tip: When using Audacity for creating podcasts, be sure to download and install the Lame .mp3 Encoder. The Lame Encoder converts Audacity project files (.aup) into the .mp3 format required for podcasting.
Recording Telephone Interviews for podcasts
Interviews are a way of making podcasts dynamic. For example, teens can interview an author and showcase the discussion in a podcast. Internet telephony software can be used to place calls over the internet and recording software is used to capture the audio conversation.
An easy way to accomplish this is to use the Internet Telephony application Skype, in conjunction with Skype Recorder for Windows or Call Recorder for Mac OS. The article 15 Apps for Recording Skype Conversations gives some more software options for both Mac and Windows.
The Recording and Editing Process
Step Three: Publishing the Podcast
When the podcast is ready for publication then it's time to examine options for hosting the podcast on the world wide web. You will need to find a host (or web server) that is reliable and in many cases inexpensive (or free!). One of the best free hosting options with unlimited storage and streaming is the Internet Archive, located at http://archive.org.
The Internet Archive is more than a hosting web site-- it is a digital library of cultural artifacts. By uploading teen-created podcasts to the Internet Archive, you help build and provide access to a collection of materials that represent today's youth culture. Imagine historians and scholars researching teen culture by listening to podcasts created by teens in your library!

Once you have found a suitable host for the first episode, you are ready to create a subscription feed. Any time you publish a new episode of the podast, the feed is updated and your fans receive the new episode through their podcatchers.
Creating a subscription feed is as easy as setting up a blog! Each time you create a new episode, link to it in your blog post. The blog generates an RSS fed, which is used to generate links to the various episodes. Blogger is an easy-to-use free platform for publishing a podast blog and subscription feed.
Feedburner is an rss tool for managing and fine-tuning the settings of your podcast feed. For more information about creating a subscription feed with blogger and feedburner, visit the Podcasting News Web site.
Step Four: Promoting the Podcast
Once the podcast has been created, there are several ways to get the word out. Consider the following ideas.
- Create business cards and posters promoting the podcast. Let teens involved with the podcast hand out business cards to their friends. Hang up posters at local schools and community organizations.
- Create a presence on MySpace, Facebook, Bebo, or other profile pages. Facebook and Bebo both have podcasting applications that can be installed on your profile and used to showcase the podcast.
- Submit the subscription feed to podcast directories and networks such as I-Tunes, Odeo, and the Podcast Pickle. Note, your podcast is more likely to be accepted within the network if it has a couple of episodes under its belt.
- Consider contacting the local media about the podcast, especially in any youth media outlets that already exist such as youth newspapers and TV shows. Contact your community radio station to see if they will broadcast an episode on the air!

Former hockey star now walks police beat
Stephanie O'Sullivan, a former hockey star at Matignon High, Providence College, and for the US women's national team, now works as a Boston police officer. She is also the director of the O'Sullivan Hockey Academy. Next
O'Sullivan says working in law enforcement is like hockey. "It's a lot like hockey—fast action, quick on your feet to make a decision, use good judgment, always move your feet, and keep your head on a swivel," she said. Next
O'Sullivan is co-director of the O'Sullivan Hockey Academy along with her brother Chris, a former NHL defenseman and Boston Police officer. "I love these kids," she said. "I love Boston." Next
O'Sullivan dreamed of being a police officer from the time she was a little girl, but she knew the clock was ticking on playing world-class hockey. "That's what I always wanted to do, but I kept making all these national teams," she said. Next
O'Sullivan does not dwell on her individual accolades as a hockey player, but is proud of team accomplishments like Providence's four ECAC titles during her time there. "My 16-year-old nephew asks, 'Can I see your rings?' I don't know where they are," she said. "What's important to me are the banners that are up in the [Providence College] rink. Not rings." Next
O'Sullivan, 41, joined the Boston Police in 2010. She petitioned and testified before the Boston City Council to increase the age limit for joining the force from 32 to 40. "I love riding with her," said her Boston Police partner, Jamila Gales. "It's good to have another person you trust with you and that you know will be hands-on with you. I trust her completely."

text: Whether they're larger than the average New York City apartment or have gilded accents everywhere, Las Vegas bathrooms do not disappoint. Check out the most luxe bathrooms in Sin City from Oyster.com: Hard Rock Hotel & Casino: Managed by the swank Morgans hotel group, the Hard Rock is off the Strip, but it knows how to throw a party. The 1,300-square-foot Celebrity Suite has a phenomenal marble bathroom, complete with Jacuzzi tub and walk-in shower. Oyster.comMandarin Oriental, Las Vegas: A new breed of Las Vegas luxury, with 392 elegant rooms and some of Vegas' best service, the Mandarin Oriental is a quiet haven on the glitzy Strip. Every room comes with a stunning light-and-dark-marble bathroom and freestanding tub. Oyster.comGolden Nugget Hotel & Casino: For the price, the Golden Nugget is a steal, provided you don't mind staying in Vegas' older downtown neighborhood instead of the newer, livelier Strip. In exchange for giving up the prime location, guests can enjoy clean, well-appointed rooms, excellent service -- and a top-notch pool complete with a shark tank. Rush Tower, opened in November 2009, is home to beautiful suites with big, decadent bathrooms. The Spa Tower Suite bathrooms feature dark marble, Jacuzzi tubs, gold fixtures and lots of glass. Oyster.comPalazzo Resort Hotel Casino: Big, elaborate, and packed with the kind of luxuries you see at the Bellagio and the Wynn, the Palazzo has some of the best and biggest standard rooms on The Strip. Its world-class spa, seven pools, busy casino and name-brand fine dining all connect to its sister property, the Venetian, via an haute couture mall. Less theme-y than many Vegas hotels, the Palazzo is right at the top of the list in terms of glitz and extravagance. Its marble bathrooms start at about 130 square feet -- larger than the entire room at some New York City hotels. The bathroom in this Sienna Suite, for example, is large enough to host a very intimate cocktail party. Oyster.comVenetian Resort Hotel Casino: Like the Paris and New York-New York hotels, the 5,030-room Venetian is an enormous and extravagant tribute to a place far from the desert, complete with gondola rides and a replica of Saint Mark's Square. Compared to the other theme-driven Vegas properties, the Venetian distinguishes itself with enormous guest rooms, a world-class spa and more than a dozen premier restaurants. The bathrooms at the Venetian have plenty of mirrors, gold accents, plush vanities, twin sinks and flat-screen TVs. Deep soaking tubs and separate showers are standard in every room. Oyster.comBellagio: This 3,933-room Italian "villa" is the embodiment of Vegas luxury -- an extravagant five-pool courtyard, formal room service, a superb fitness center and spa, the best buffet on the Strip and attractions like the indoor botanical gardens and the famous dancing fountains. Its classy bathrooms (like this one, in the Deluxe Room) feature floral wallpaper, ceramic pottery, and dark wood vanities. Oyster.comEncore at Wynn Las Vegas: The Encore's giant rooms one-up even the Wynn's (Encore's sister next door) and include such snazzy features as bedside curtain control, beautiful design and enormous, stately bathrooms. Oyster.comTHEHotel at Mandalay Bay: A hipper, quieter sister to the attached Mandalay Bay, THEhotel attracts a younger crowd that prefers urban chic to ornate luxury. This bathroom in THEsuite (the base-level room at THEhotel) has black marble showers and dark wood cabinets. Oyster.comWynn Las Vegas: Remote-controlled drapes in the giant rooms, eight premier restaurants, an 18-hole golf course -- the 2,716-room Wynn is one of the Strip's most extravagant luxury hotels. The huge bathrooms include deep tubs, glass-walled showers, double sinks and separate toilet rooms. Complimentary products include moisturizer (it is the desert, after all); cotton swabs; a shoe-polishing kit; and soap, shampoo, and conditioner from Desert Bamboo. Oyster.comTrump International Hotel & Tower Las Vegas: Even in the standard room, the Studio Suite, you can flip through channels on a 13-inch flat-screen TV embedded in the bathroom mirror while soaking in this enormous Jacuzzi tub.

BLM Presents 2013 "Making a Difference" National Volunteer Awards
The Bureau of Land Management today presented its prestigious "Making a Difference" National Volunteer Awards to four individuals, one couple, one group, and one BLM employee for outstanding volunteer service or volunteer leadership on BLM-managed lands.
The Making a Difference Award is an annual award presented by the BLM that recognizes its most exceptional volunteers, whose efforts include trail repair, visitor services, habitat restoration, and many other duties. The award was presented to recipients at a recognition event via live video conference hosted at the BLM's headquarters in Washington, D.C. The event included remarks from Sally Jewell, Secretary of the Interior; Neil Kornze, Principal Deputy Director of the BLM; and Carl Rountree, Assistant Director for the BLM's National Landscape Conservation System and Community Partnerships.
Principal Deputy Director Kornze expressed his appreciation for the volunteers' hard work in helping the BLM fulfill its multiple-use mission. "Volunteer efforts – the seeing, the doing, and the leading – have helped us to fulfill that responsibility on the public lands," Kornze said. "Your labors have made a lasting imprint, and you have left a legacy for others to follow."
The volunteers selected for this year's awards were: Ray and Linda Panter, Central Yukon Field Office, Alaska; Annette Froehlich (Lifetime Achievement), Las Cruces District Office, New Mexico; Joshua Barlow, Price Field Office, Utah; Upper Ridge Wilderness Association (Lifetime Achievement), Redding Field Office, California; Illa Willmore (Lifetime Achievement), Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument, Montana; and Pat Williams (Milestone Award), Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, Nevada. Warren J. Trogden, Sr. Challis Field Office, Idaho, is the winning BLM employee.
A national panel of BLM specialists and partner representatives selected the award winners from a record number of nominees submitted by BLM state offices. The winners were selected for their exceptional contributions to the conservation and management of public lands.
In Fiscal Year 2012, more than 30,000 volunteers contributed more than 1.1 million hours of their time in assisting the BLM. That is the equivalent of 637 "work years." The value of volunteer contributions as compared to project-related dollars expended by the BLM was 26 to 1.
Volunteer Winners
Linda and Ray Panter, Central Yukon Field Office, AK: Over the past two years, Linda and Ray Panter have greeted nearly 10,000 summer visitors annually at the BLM's Yukon Crossing Contact Station, located beside the Yukon River along Alaska's remote 414-mile Dalton Highway. This important BLM visitor station provides valuable services to travelers from around the world as they venture north to the Arctic Circle and beyond. Linda and Ray answer thousands of questions, distribute brochures, track visitation, provide critical safety and travel information, maintain the contact station itself, and monitor the nearby rustic campground. Their record sales of books and merchandise have strengthened BLM's partnership with the Alaska Geographic Association, the local non-profit cooperating association. Linda and Ray have also initiated projects and programs to enhance visitor experiences, including short programs on Arctic tree growth, during which they compare tree rings from Alaskan species to those of trees from their native Oregon. They lead walking tours for visitors interested in the local fauna and flora, have produced a stunning photo program based on their discoveries, and planted a small garden to demonstrate the speed with which plants must develop during the short Arctic growing season. Ray even hauls in local spring water each day so that visitors can literally "get a taste of the Arctic." Linda and Ray staff the contact station every day of the week, working long hours amidst such luxuries as a satellite phone and an outhouse. These special hosts obviously love what they do, happy to welcome Yukon Crossing visitors with warmth and hospitality.
Annette Froehlich, Las Cruces District Office, NM: Annette Froehlich has spent 59 years as a Medical Mission Sister, dedicating herself to providing nursing and other services to disadvantaged people both in the United States and abroad. While still remaining a Medical Mission Sister, Annette decided to pursue another lifelong passion – the natural world – and earned a Wildlife Science degree from New Mexico State University in 1994. A year later, Annette began volunteering one day a week at the BLM's Dripping Springs Natural Area, and she's been doing it ever since. Comprising 2,850 acres on the western side of the spectacular Organ Mountains, the site annually receives over 22,000 visitors, who treasure the opportunities for hiking, nature study, and other day-use activities. Annette's main duties include staffing the visitor center and conducting trail patrol hikes. In the visitor center, she greets the public, collects day-use fees, and shares her vast knowledge about the natural area's plants, animals, and history. Her trail patrols include collecting litter, informing visitors of the area's rules and regulations, and – in her words – "checking for hikers in trouble or making trouble." In the past, Annette has also led group tours for children, worked in the book store, and helped to establish a visitor garden. She has also been invaluable in orienting new site hosts and day volunteers. Annette's sweet laugh and bright eyes convey her enthusiasm as a lifelong learner who delights in imparting her knowledge to others. Annette explains, "Driving up to these mountains is like driving up into to an awesome cathedral. It gives me an indescribable feeling of peace and tranquility." Her positive attitude and caring disposition have earned Annette the respect of BLM employees, volunteers, and the public alike.
Joshua Barlow, Price Field Office, UT: When 14-year-old Josh Barlow wished to perform an Eagle Scout project, he contacted the BLM's Price Field Office for some ideas. He chose to work on a project to enhance the Gordon Creek Trail, which is located just outside the town of Price. The first three miles of the trail cross BLM-managed land, and the last half-mile crosses a Wildlife Management Area administered by the Utah State Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR). Josh's plan was to build a barricade in front of a historic cabin, install signs along the trail, and fix washed-out trail segments. BLM staff remarked on the size of the undertaking and suggested that Josh select only one project component; however, he wanted to do it all. Josh worked with BLM and DWR staff, arranging regular meetings and on-site visits to ensure that he understood what was needed. Josh also presented his project plans at a public recreation meeting and found outside donors for materials such as culverts. He coordinated with the BLM, DWR, and Utah Off-Highway Vehicle Program to obtain the remaining materials, including lumber, signs, and tools. On the first day of the project, Josh, BLM and DWR staff, and project volunteers met at the trailhead for a briefing to review plans and discuss safety considerations. Accomplishments over the course of the three-day project included installation of four culverts, construction of water bars, and leveling of trail segments. Fencing of the historic cabin was accomplished two months later. Josh personally contributed over 56 hours of time to the project, with additional hours devoted to project preparation and obtaining materials. Josh's project volunteers performed 658 hours of labor on the Gordon Creek Trail project, whose value is estimated at more than $15,000.
Volunteer Winners: Lifetime Achievement
Upper Ridge Wilderness Association, Redding Field Office, CA: For more than27 years, volunteers from the Upper Ridge Wilderness Association (URWA) have been the principal caretakers of the BLM's Upper Ridge Nature Preserve (URNP), a 120-acre parcel sandwiched between housing subdivisions and a school in the Magalia area. With a membership of only 15-20 individuals at any given time, the group maintains hiking trails, picks up trash, reports trespassers, sponsors educational activities, and patrols the preserve. In conjunction with local 5th-grade teachers, the URWA coordinates an annual "Trail Days" event, a week of student environmental education activities for which the preserve serves as an outdoor classroom. Participating organizations include the California Conservation Corps, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE), and the Magalia Beautification Club. "Trail Days" has received a President's Environmental Youth Award for outstanding achievement in environmental protection services. The BLM has been able to increase outdoor recreation opportunities in the Magalia area thanks to the work of URWA volunteers, who have coordinated the construction of a toilet, trails, trail bridges, and an information kiosk; developed and printed a trail brochure; and installed a handmade stone sign at the URNA. Currently, the URWA is working with the Redding Field Office on additional trails that will allow pedestrians access to Little Butte Creek Canyon and Little Butte Creek. The work performed by URWA volunteers over the years is valued at more than $250,000.
Illa Willmore, Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument, MT: With true pioneer spirit, Illa Willmore and her husband Warren still ranch on land homesteaded by Warren's father in 1915. More than 21 years ago, Illa signed on to volunteer at the nearby James Kipp Recreation Area, serving as the site's campground host and all-around BLM ambassador from March to November each year. She shares her knowledge of all things related to the Breaks country – history, culture, wildlife, plants, and everyday activities – via daily journal entries and personal musings, which are recorded at the Visitor Contact Station. These have provided successive resource managers with valuable "snapshots" of BLM's history and conditions at Kipp. She and four generations of her family have participated in the National Public Lands Day volunteer projects held annually at Kipp since 1999, as well as the nationally recognized Lewis and Clark Bicentennial events hosted from 2003-2006. More recently, Illa's service during the historic Missouri River flooding in the summer of 2011 was nothing short of outstanding. Her assistance included several trips a day to the bluffs above the stricken campground to provide daily updates on conditions. Her "real-time" reports to BLM law enforcement and managers were instrumental in the safe, orderly evacuation and subsequent temporary closure of the campground. Illa is a passionate steward of the public lands, and the backbone of James Kipp Recreation Area; during her tenure, Illa has contributed an average of 1,200 hours per year. She has already planned her return for the 2013 volunteer season.
Volunteer Winner: Milestone
Pat Williams, Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, NV: Since Pat Williams and her husband Chuck began volunteering at the BLM's Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area (NCA) in early 1999, they have been a driving force within the Friends of Red Rock Canyon (FORRC) organization, the BLM's oldest "friends" group. In her time with FORRC, Pat has served in numerous capacities, including President, Membership Chair, Secretary, Communications Lead, book store manager, and contributor to The Rock, the FORRC's quarterly magazine. Pat has served with dedication and heart, helping to raise funds, increase community awareness, implement educational initiatives, protect natural and cultural resources, and organize and lead both volunteers and volunteer projects. Pat and Chuck have been nominated for and presented with two well-deserved BLM "Making a Difference" National Volunteer Awards since the recognition program began in 1996. This year, however, the BLM would like to acknowledge a simple but amazing milestone in Pat's tenure with the Friends of Red Rock: in January 2013: she exceeded 20,000 hours of volunteer time contributed to the BLM. Red Rock Canyon NCA has benefited immeasurably from Pat's hard work on behalf of National Conservation Lands. The BLM offers Pat heartfelt congratulations and thanks as she embarks on her next 20,000 hours!
Employee Winner

The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.

I wish there would be another colours still in stock!"

Green With Envy
"Imagine a green suede as dark as Christmas pine and smooth like a babies bottom.Slip your foot and leg into this work of pure art and begin stepping tall and confident. The platform makes the 4 & 1/2 inch heel feel like 3 and is therefore a true comfort. To get the absolute best appreciation for the boot, wear them without socks and enjoy the softness of the supple leather lining."

About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
We added a screened porch with a low fiberglass ceiling. Needed a very low profile ceiling fan for the space. Electrician installed for us. Love that it easily changes directions so when my husband smokes a cigar it draws the smoke up. Love the remote too so didn't have to have switch installed also. Would definitely purchase again. Quick delivery also. VERY satisfied customers!
Great fan, nearly silent. Good looking

Comments about Minka-Aire F593-PW, Tradition Concept Pewter Hugger 44" Outdoor Ceiling Fan w/ Light & Ctrl:
This is a really terrific fan. It's colors/textures matched my room decor well. I live in an older (1930s) house, which holds the heat. All the bedrooms are on the second floor so if you want to cool them with AC, you end up with a medium cool second floor and the arctic downstairs on the first floor. Also my children complain it's too cold. So this fan is allowing me to keep the overall house warmer, while having a comfortable sleeping area. Really pleased with it.
Attractive and Functional
By Jane W
from St. Louis
I like that this fan is wet rated, its light is on a dimmer switch, and there are no chains needed to regulate the fan speed. The product is study and attractive. Our porch contractor installed it and was complimentary. For example, there was no need to balance the fan.

About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
Bought this for the QUIET factor-my old ones wobbled and were LOUD and 25 years old! These are quiet and easy to install. One came with a bad wall switch and we called and were sent the replacement in just 2 days! After 3 months I cannot say enough about these fans!
Smooth and quite

Comments about Minka-Aire F593-WH, Tradition Concept White Flush Mount 44" Outdoor Ceiling Fan w/ Light & Ctrl:
This fan is attractive but not too noticeable. It is quiet and does not wiggle. The wall-mounted control is fine. I suppose I would prefer it if the all-off but were a bit more substantial. I fear breaking it.
This fan is cool!
By Main Line Joe
from Ardmore, PA
I needed a 44" outdoor, wet-rated, flush mount ceiling fan with a light that did not hang more than 16" from ceiling (this one hangs < 12"). I also wanted wood grain blades and nickel or stainless vs. gold or copper (this one is brushed nickel). After going to several home improvement stores and many web-searches my choice was narrowed to this fan. It was installed today and appears to be the perfect choice. It does not rock, it is quiet, fan-direction is reversible, perfect size, it can be dimmed, 3 speed fan, and extremely important, it is attractive. Being on the front porch to my house that is very important to me. The cost was more than double the others but like most things that cost more : the quality shines through. I am already getting compliments and people are asking where I got it. I am very pleased with this product.
Great fan for low ceilings
By Dot

About Me Beginner
This is a nice looking and well performing fan for a low ceiling. It operates via a wall remote, which means you have to go to the wallswitch rather than the fan to operate it. But that also means there is no cord hanging down, adding to the sleekness and compactness of the fan itself. Looks great and works quietly. DelMar Fans had the best price on the internet, and will price match.
great product
By dt
from cape cod, ma
we installed this in a familyroom in a summer home, it runs all day and night circulating the air, nice and quiet and I love the fact it hugs the ceiling.I was a little worried about the plastic blades looking plastic, but you do not notice that they are plastic,they match the color of our floor.

Estimated War-Related Costs, Iraq and Afghanistan
According to the Center for Defense Information, the estimated cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan will reach $1.49 trillion by the end of fiscal year 2013.
1. Includes $5.5 billion of $7.1 billion appropriated in DOD's FY2003 Appropriations Act (P.L. 107-48) for the global war on terror that CRS cannot allocate and DOD cannot track.
2. Of the $25 billion provided in Title IX of the FY2005 DOD appropriation bill, CRS includes $2 billion in FY2004 when it was obligated and the remaining $23 billion in FY2005. Because Congress made the funds available in FY2004, CBO and OMB score all $25 billion in FY2004.
3. Includes funds in the FY2007 Supplemental (H.R. 2206/P.L. 110-28), Title IX, P.L. 109-289, FY2007 DOD Appropriations Act (H.R. 5631) designated for war and funds for other agencies in H.J. Res 20, P.L. 110-50, the year-long Continuing Resolution. VA Medical estimates reflect VA FY2008 budget materials and CRS estimates. Amounts for foreign and diplomatic operations reflects State Department figures.
4. Includes money budgeted through the Dept. of State and USAID.

Glasgow Warriors are gunning for their second home PRO12 victory in seven days when they face Zebre at Scotstoun Stadium on Friday.
Glasgow Warriors are gunning for their second home PRO12 victory in seven days when they face Zebre at Scotstoun Stadium on Friday.
Gregor Townsend's men secured a first success in their great new home last week, claiming a bonus-point win over Connacht, and are now looking for their third straight tournament victory.
New signing Josh Strauss will start Friday's match at number eight, with Fiji scrum-half Niko Matawalu and Tonga prop Ofa Fainga'anuku in line to make their Warriors debuts from the bench.
In all, there are 13 changes to the starting XV that ran out against Connacht, with Scotland international Stuart Hogg named among the replacements having made a prompt recovery from his recent ankle injury.
Young backs Byron McGuigan, part of the Scotland 7s squad last season, and Scottish Rugby Elite Development players Fraser Thomson and Sean Kennedy will be making their first competitive starts.
Up front, former All Black back-rower Angus Macdonald will make his first start for the Warriors at blindside flanker, with the team set to be captained by inspirational openside Chris Fusaro.
"First and foremost, we've picked a team that we strongly believe has the right attributes to win Friday's game against Zebre," said Townsend.
"We're fortunate this season to have such a good amount of strength in depth, and the players we've brought in this week have all been chomping at the bit to get out there and prove they're worthy of regular selection.
"Our aim is to be competing at the business end of both the RaboDirect PRO12 and Heineken Cup season, and as such we have to manage the workload of our players while maintaining a high level of consistency on the pitch regardless of the team we send out.
"We have a lot of faith in the side that will take the field on Friday, both individually and collectively. We're excited to see them in action in what will be another extremely tough test for us."
Meanwhile, two players will make their RaboDirect PRO12 debut for Zebre on Friday as right wing Leonardo Sarto and lock Michael Van Vuren both start for Christian Gajan's side.
Among the backs former Waratahs inside centre Daniel Halangahu moves to full-back, leaving space for the return of Gonzalo Garcia, who is alongside Matteo Pratichetti.
Giovanbattista Venditti is rested this week so Sinoti Sinoti is named on the wing. Further forward, the half-back pairing will be Alberto Chillon (scrum-half) and Luciano Orquera (fly-half).
Matteo is at loosehead, Davide Giazzon will be hooking while Luca Redolfini is at tighthead prop. In the second-row, international Quintin Geldenhuys is joined by Van Vuren while the back-row sees Mauro Bergamasco joined by Filippo Cristiano and Andries van Schalkwyk.
The teams:
Glasgow: 15 Fraser Thomson, 14 Tommy Seymour, 13 Byron McGuigan, 12 Graeme Morrison, 11 DTH van der Merwe, 10 Ruaridh Jackson, 9 Sean Kennedy, 8 Josh Strauss, 7 Chris Fusaro (c), 6 Angus Macdonald, 5 Tim Swinson, 4 Tom Ryder, 3 Mike Cusack, 2 Finlay Gillies, 1 Gordon Reid.
Replacements: 16 Dougie Hall, 17 Ofa Fainga'anuku, 18 Moray Low, 19 James Eddie, 20 Ryan Wilson, 21 Niko Matawalu, 22 Peter Horne, 23 Stuart Hogg.
Zebre: 15 Daniel Halangahu, 14 Leonardo Sarto, 13 Matteo Pratichetti, 12 Gonzalo Garcia (capt), 11 Sinoti Sinoti, 10 Luciano Orquera, 9 Alberto Chillon, 8 Andries Van Schalkwyk, 7 Mauro Bergamasco, 6 Filippo Cristiano, 5 Michael Van Vuren, 4 Quintin Geldenhuys, 3 Luca Redolfini, 2 Davide Giazzon, 1 Matias Aguero.
Replacements: 16 Andrea Mancini, 17 Carlo Fazzari, 18 Andrea De Marchi, 19 Emiliano Caffini, 20 Nicola Belardo, 21 Luca Martinelli, 22 Paolo Buso, 23 Samuele Pace.

Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
Yea Just noticed it was bon on the cover too lol.
Hey baby, wanna take a gander at some Adam West penis?
1. Bon Chan alive (obvieously but fuck yeah anyways !!!!!)
2. The Yetibrothers are some kind of snipers as it seems,(whiche would explain why the trio got hit in the first place.) their probably loaded their weapons with some kind of sleeping gas bullets. Strange that they call the trio "dead" cause they arent and everyone knows that ;P
3.Unimportant nut a new style of laugheing in the world of OP "shoulolololo" ;D
Cool chap lets wait what Law's up for
So Law isn't blackmailed, the Yeti Cool Brothers are boss level and The WG has the Straw Hats on the same field as Black Beard.
You know, CC's design just doesn't fit into One Piece.
I Love You!
Still don't know what's happening with Zoro + company. They have no battle damage on them whatsoever, meaning that they could not have been attacked. Either way: Ready to see something we've been deprived of since Luffy broke the pacifista--going all out against an equally-powered opponent.
Proud (and confused) subscriber of Shonen Jump Alpha.
aaargh, cant wait for next chapter now!
great chapter but i kinda dont like the idea that zoro and co got knocked out so easily even if it was a surprise attack.
also that body-heart switch thingy is getting more and more annoying after every chapter. i want them to go back to being themselves already.
last thing i noticed is that law is appearing more evil with the release of new chapters which i kinda dont like.
the most interesting thing about this chapter for me is how the wg views the strawhats.

Ah yes, Even though I was kinda bored reading the chapter, the Inclusion of Bon to start the chapter made it feel like pretty good. Okama is back.

Federal Corporation Taxes
Most large corporations are classified as C corporations and are required to file a federal corporate income tax return with the IRS every year. There are four basic rates—15%, 25%, 34%, and 35%—and two "bubble rates" of 39% and 38% which have the effect of taking away from high-income corporations the benefits of the lower rates.
If the corporation qualifies, it may elect to be an S corporation. These companies do not (with certain exceptions) pay corporate tax on income. Their income is instead passed through and taxed to shareholders. There are several requirements a corporation must meet to qualify as an S corporation, including having 75 or fewer shareholders and having only one class of stock. The reduction of individual income tax rates, passed in 2001 and accelerated in 2003, has greatly increased the number of firms that save taxes by organizing as S corporations.
In 2004, Congress enacted and the president signed the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. It replaced the exclusion for extraterritorial income after that provision was ruled illegal by the World Trade Organization. Along with that tax hike, Congress passed a cornucopia of corporate tax breaks, most notably a cut in the top rate from 35% to 32% for "manufacturers," broadly defined.
Corporate Tax Rates
NOTE: In 2005, U.S. corporations were permitted to bring earnings back from overseas that normally would have remained abroad for tax reasons, declare them as taxable profits, and pay a steeply discounted tax rate of 5.75%.
