Presidential Speech Archive American President: A Reference Resource Presidential Recordings Presidential Oral Histories ← Return to Riding The Tiger June 26, 2013 By Monica Gray Ich bin ein Berliner! Today Berlin celebrates the 50th anniversary of John F. Kennedy's iconic "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech, in which he offered American solidarity to the citizens of West Germany nearly two years after communist East Germany divided the city in two by building the Berlin Wall. "Two thousand years ago the proudest boast was 'civis Romanus sum.' Today, in the world of freedom, the proudest boast is 'Ich bin ein Berliner,'" Kennedy famously stated before a crowd of about 1.1 million Berliners who came out to see him speak in front of the Schöneberg Rathaus. Unlike most presidential speeches which were highly choreographed, JFK fed off of the crowd's energy on this day in 1963, improvising boldly to declare "I am a Berliner." In doing so he connected with the exuberant crowd, conveyed his respect for the resiliant city, and delivered one of the most famous presidential speeches in U.S. history.

Revenge Double Willow Spinnerbaits
Ideal for clear water presentations, the Revenge Double Willow Spinnerbaits are designed to deliver maximum flash with minimal vibration. Built around super-sharp 5/0 Mustad Ultra Point Hooks for maximum fish penetration and strength, each bait also features detailed head designs with deep, black life-like eyes and hue-shifting paints. Just like a natural bait fish, the hue-shifting paints allow the heads to shimmer in changing angles of light as they move through the water. Revenge blades, stamped from thin metal, are also deeply cupped which allows for easy rotation even on the fall or when cranked slowly. The fine-gauge wire used for the bait's arm also helps facilitate maximum flash. Held firmly in place by Revenge's Stay-On skirt keeper, custom 40-strand silicon skirts compliment and complete Revenge's winning presentation. Get those finicky fish to react – with the Revenge Double Willow Spinnerbaits.

Comments: I think this spinnerbait is awesome caught 10 plus small mouth all over 2lbs & this spinnerbait didn't break it did bend but just bent it back straight & it ran fine like it was new. I'm defiantly buying more revenge spinnerbaits.
From: Robbie: PA 4/30/16
Comments: Another story of a broken spinnerbait. First fish was a 14.5" largemouth. The arm was mangled. Caught a handful of fish the first day. It seemed to still be in good condition after re-tuning it after every fish. The next day it survived some 4# fish and a 37" tiger muskie. After a thorough inspection, it was deemed acceptable. The next outing I had a 4-5# smallmouth strike at boat side. I had it on for a moment then it came unbuttoned. All I got back was the half of wire with the blades. Took photos of the first fish incident and the final breakage. All in all, good color scheme, good vibration, poor durability. The risk of product failure is too great to buy another one.
From: Travis: Eagle River, WI 8/8/15
Comments: Great at catching fish but they break. Threw them this weekend and my tourney partner had three break on him. After seeing that and the other reviews, I'm switching to a different brand. Can't risk it on a tourney fish that could spell the difference.
From: Mark: NH 9/7/14
Comments: Superior bait in all aspects, transitioning all my spinnerbaits to Revenge excepting three Nichols colors. High quality, stron wire, great colors.
From: Biff: Paradox, PA
Comments: Great blade bait Very impressed with the quality components, caught a 4 lb LM and 12 lb pike on the bluegill and it looks and fishes like new. Making room for more Revenge baits and putting the others in storage.
From: Biff: Pardox, PA
Comments: The Revenge blades flat out catch fish. They work perfect for me at DVL here in so cal. But they do break. I've broken 3 so far this season. I broke several last year too so it's not a flaw. But I've also broken several other brands as well. Hard fighting Smallies and angry fat pig LMB's will wad them quick. If you tourney fish have a few or more on hand and if you have to bend it back, you better just tie a new one on. Slight straightening out, your good, but a bendo and it should just go to the component box. There's only a couple of blade brands that can catch as many fish as this one does but beware...
From: HawgZWylde: So Cal
Comments: By far one of the best spinnerbaits made. Never had one break and the skirts are great!
From: Bill
Comments: i wanted to comment on all the people talking about the wire breaking on these. i have 5 of these. i have caught at least a dozen bass on each one of them and have not had any issue with the wires breaking yet. if you own a spinnerbait with a wire so thick it does not bend then its not a good spinnerbait it just won't have enough vibration.. maybe there was a bad run of these or something i don't know but i do know the ones i have are certainly not weak.
From: Rob
Comments: It always seemed to me the ones similar to this they used to sell worked really well. In fact this brand was my first spinnerbait I used in N. CA. I caught many fish with them. I had to bend back the arm sometimes.
From: Pat: San Jose, CA
Comments: I love how these baits look and run in the water. Unfortunately I had a new one break in half at the head while fighting a 5lb catfish today. Cats do tend to roll a lot which is what I thought broke the bait. I'm glad it happened today instead of tourney day. I'll be looking at another brand or maybe try the heavy duty style.
From: J: Northern Cali
Comments: Update to my post below . After 2 years with these baits I have found that they are just good for about 4 good fish then they brake so beware. there good at what they do but they will brake after a few good fish. brake every time at the head,the wire is to weak ,which is what makes it work good tho . cost me to much money tho in tournaments when they brake and lose a limit fish, so Im back to looking for another brand .
From: Kevin: KY
Comments: These are great spinnerbaits for just someone who fishes for fun , BUT ARE NOT good for peaple who fish bass tournaments , These have cost me 2 tournaments now . 1 last year and i over looked it when the bait broke while fighting a 3 pnd fish , Now today in my tournament I had the winning fish to the net and the spinnerbait Broke in half . finished 3rd because the CHEAP wire used to make these Baits . they are good for 4 to 6 fish then you better junk it out . Some of you may say they don't break and thats cool but , They did on me 2 times now when it counted for money . Long story short great bait for just fishing but total junk when moneys on the end of your line.
From: Anthony: K
Comments: Great baits, my fav is chart n white. I wont buy any other brand for that color. Their is so brilliant in colors that when fishing murky water it really shines. Same color in other brand just doesnt get the job done. Colors seems dull. No problem with skirt falling off. Even the 10 lb bass which slammed it hard did not break the wires, and i was force to cast with braid that day. No stretch straighten it out but landed the fish.
From: CA
Comments: great bait havecaught 5 bass and i happened to catch a 3 pound rainbow trout which was amazing
Comments: Best spinnerbait on the market!
From: JC: San Diego
Comments:These are now my main and only spinnerbaits. They are great. I change the smaller blade to a tad bigger one. On some, I add my own custom skirts. I have been hunting for a long time to find that 1 spinnerbait that I can say is awesome and these are it.

The Kingsford® Points Chase
Chasing Kingsford
Come hell or high water, Twyford BBQ takes KPC in Memphis
For a first-time Memphis in May competitor, Randy Twyford made more than an impression, scoring fifth overall in ribs and topping all other Kingsford Points Chase competitors.
Jun 03, 2011
The Jacksonville, Ill. resident began grilling when he was a child. After his mother took a night job, Randy and his father took on the responsibility of preparing dinner. Being the men that they are, their dinner often revolved around a grill.
That led to a love of BBQ and grilling and one night while researching recipes and techniques on the Internet, Randy stumbled upon some information regarding competitive barbeque. He was intrigued by the idea ofcompeting because it looked like something fun that the family could do together.
Randy and his wife Marla have been competing since 2004. Originally, their team was named after the family farm – Ulcer Acres. Randy soon realized the name Ulcer Acres BBQ wouldn't exactly instill confidence in their barbeque and the name was changed to Twyford BBQ.
The team's first win came just two years after they started competing at the Kentucky Big Rivers BBQ in Bardwell, Ky. "It was our second year of cooking and we found ourselves in the middle of the Who's Who of BBQ," said Randy.
They've been hooked ever since, competing two or three times per month. Their favorite contest is Praise the Lard in Murphysboro, Ill., which features both Memphis Barbecue Network and the Kansas City Barbeque Society styles of competition.
Randy offered Grilling.com readers one secret to his championship ribs – about three hours into the cooking process, wrap your ribs in foil to let them simmer in a mixture of ingredients that impart some extra flavor into the ribs.
In addition to competing, Randy also co-owns Twyford BBQ & Catering in Jacksonville, Ill.

Sarah Wickliffe "Art's Desire" (2006)
Sarah Wickliffe's award winning Art's Desire (great title) has a cubist character from Picasso's Guernica escape the inferno and investigate other paintings in the gallery in an attempt to discover a more peaceful world. Sarah takes some of the great works, gradually bringing them to animated life as our cubist friend fails to sunbathe with the Sunday revellers à la Georges Seurat, befriends one of Salvador Dali's beauties (bearing a similarity to Sarah herself, dare I say) and in turn is offered a solution to her problem, sharing it with Edward Munch's famous creation who is in need of respite care more than most. Well drawn, funny and endearing, the music by Kenny Werner adds just the right tone, with his light, melodic touch on the piano. It took a full year to complete. Sarah works freelance in New York having trained at Tisch School of the Arts at New York University.

Good work like this always does, Sarah. My knowledge of art could not tell me whose was the jungle canvas. I'd seen it before, liked it but simply could not put a name to it. Any assistance in this matter gratefully received. And was the nude with the drawers you?
- 24 June 2010 at 17:00
- Sarah Wickliffe said...
The jungle was a composite of various paintings by Henri Rousseau.
As for the drawer lady... the resemblance wasn't intentional, but immediately after animating her I was called out on it by several friends. Lets call it an involuntary self-portrait ;)
Thanks again for the kind words!
PS- In addition to freelancing, I'm also working as a Graphic Designer at The Onion now.

I used the Classico crushed tonight in lasagna, just a dab of salt added. I am no tomato connoisseur, but the family loved it.
I know if i drained less out would work, but its like if i know it can be removed i want to remove all the acidic liquid i can. If it had flavor i would leave it, but all it taste like is acidy water.
FeChef,You might just try adding a good quality water, like spring water, to the drained tomatoes. Professionals who use heavy or concentrated canned tomato products mostly just add tap water to the tomatoes to get the consistency they want for their sauces.Peter
Fe,You can also add some tomato puree to thicken it back up some.That might just waste a can if you're not going to use much of it,but I have done it before.I would also add some of the puree with cans of whole tomatoes I crushed and drained myself.Makes for a excellent sauce base.
I will do another test on the peeled ground tomatoes sometime this week.I recall it being a bit watery and want to see how much is going to be needed straining out of the next can.
Funny, every can of peeled ground i opened was thicker then the two cans of crushed ive used so far.I was thinking instead of using water to thin it out, what about putting vegetables in a blender and squeezing out the juice like onions,celery,carrots, or green peppers.
Fe,That sounds really good!Thanks for telling me of your experience with peeled ground tomatoes.I have only used one can.It did pool some water on one of the pies I made with it.Im trying to think back,but I believe it was not as bad as the crushed.I had alot of water pooling in the middle with the crushed not drained.That was yucky.I will drain and weigh the water for the peeled ground,to compare to the crushed,before I use it.That said,I really enjoy using the classico.If they add a bit more water than other products,that is OK,it can easily be simmered for a pasta sauce as well.I know its not intended to be for pizza alone,so draining a can of some water is no big deal to do to make a pizza sauce.

Two tries from flanker Willie Faloon helped Connacht to a 26-22 victory over Cardiff Blues at Arms Park on Friday.
Two tries from flanker Willie Faloon helped Connacht to a 26-22 victory over Cardiff Blues at Arms Park on Friday.
Although the home side recovered from an early deficit to edge in front midway through the second half, they were unable to hold off the enthusiastic visitors.
The only occasion Connacht had previously managed a win in the Welsh capital was in the pre-regional era, when current coach Eric Elwood kicked them to a 6-3 success over the Cardiff club side in 2001.
Their chances were further diminished shortly before kick-off when Scotland international fly-half Dan Parks, who scored 347 points in 38 appearances for the Blues before crossing the Irish Sea last summer, was ruled out by a hamstring strain.
However the Irish ran in two tries in the first five minutes. Fast handling among the threequarters saw captain Gavin Duffy join the line to send South African Danie Poolman speeding in at the flag. And before the Blues could gather themselves, wing Fetu'u Vainikolo put Faloon through some weak tackling to grab another. Miah Nikora converted the second.
As the home team began to get a foothold in the Connacht half, Rhys Patchell landed a long-range penalty and the fly-half was heavily involved, along with No 8 Robin Copeland, in a move which saw wing Harry Robinson dive in at the left-hand corner after 20 minutes. Patchell was off-target with the conversion.
Nikora responded with a penalty when the Blues backs strayed offside but, despite some welcome adventure by both sides, there was no further score before the interval.
The Blues piled on the early pressure in the second period, but had to settle for a penalty by Patchell after Connacht hooker Jason Harris-Wright, in an offside position, impeded scrum-half Lewis Jones. The punishment was doubled when referee Dudley Phillips showed the guilty man a yellow card.
Patchell slotted over another penalty, but it was soon cancelled out by a similar effort from Nikora and when an aggressive Blues scrum allowed Patchell a further opportunity at goal the teenager pulled it wide.
The Arms Park crowd's disappointment was short-lived, however, as sleight-of-hand by debutant replacement Liam Davies allowed Copeland to gallop over just before the hour mark, putting the Blues ahead for the first time. However but their lead was not to last, with Faloon darting over from a scrum for his second try four minutes later.
Patchell's fourth penalty cut the gap to a single point, but Connacht, sensing an upset, forced the Welsh region back into their own 22 and Nikora was able to add another three points following a Blues infringement to seal the win.
The scorers:
Cardiff Blues:
Tries: Robinson, Copeland
Pens: Patchell 4
Tries: Poolman, Faloon 2
Con: Nikora

We all think that MS is difficult to obtain, that it requires you to kill your best friend. We also think that in order to obtain EMS, you need to take the eyes of your brother who has MS. I say that we are all wrong. Why? because MS is a Sharingan, nothing more, nothing less.
Here's how someone really gets MS... They have to need it. Yup, it's that simple. Sharingan is gotten the same way, through need.
Sharingan is awakened when someone with Uchiha blood, really needs it. You might say, "Where's the proof?" Well the truth is right in front of our eyes. Sasuke awakened Sharingan for the first time when he thought that Itachi might kill him. He awakened the Sharingan the second time when he needed to see what Haku was doing, because of Haku's speed. Sasuke's Sharingan gained its third tomoe when he needed to be able to keep up with Naruto.
Obito awakened his Sharingan when he needed to save Kakashi.
Now onto the MS part. Madara and his brother awakened his MS through competition. Basically, they were competing within the clan, for control of the clan. So, how do you beat another Sharingan? With a better one! So they both obtained MS. Then, Madara relized that he was going blind. He needed anothet set of eyes that wouldn't lose their sight. That's how Madara obtained EMS.
More recently, Itachi awakened his MS through beating Shisui. But He didn't fight Shisui just to gain MS. He fought him because Shisui found out about Itachi's mission to kill the Uchiha clan. So how would Itachi beat Shisui "the body flicker/mirage"? With a better Sharingan!
Even more recently, Kakashi awakened MS. How would he awaken MS? He needed a better Sharingan to keep up with Gai who is really fast after he has opened up a couple of gates.
Sasuke's MS is the only oddball, because he didn't need it immediately, but he did need it to destroy Konoha. He also needed a new power to save Karin.
So overall, we are overthinking this whole MS thing, because the characters in th manga only knew of how they obtained MS. They did not take into consideration how others got theirs. So Itachi told Sasuke to kill his best friend, because that's how he got his MS.

A group of young guns showcase all the essentials needed for the perfect contemporary wardrobe, from jackets with zip details, chinos, and crisp shirts, to casual denim separates like distressed jeans and vintage washed denim jackets. As Double Black puts it "…[A guy] knows that to be really stylish he always needs to feel at ease." We couldn't agree more.

Silk Faille Fabric
One of the more substantial silk fabrics, Faille receives its characteristically ribbed surface from the calculated addition of a thicker yarn. The defined ribs are less prominent than a grosgrain since a faille is of a plain weave. Similar to most silks, this fabric is smooth, lustrous, and easy to drape, but it has an affinity for taking a crease making it a popular choice for tailored clothing.

Another year, another NHL game. Last year EA added the skill stick which added more deking control and felt like you were the one who was moving the puck around the defense, and this year EA has added the feature that allows you to choose were you move the puck.
Let me explain when want try the 1 on 1 deke you press the LB button and then the direction that you want the puck to go in. This has add more offense to the game. Its mainly added to help with the 1 on 1s. EA also has made the goaltender AI stronger and some games it seems like your playing against a brick wall. Along with that EA has also added new features to the dynasty mode. One of the biggest additions to the game is an upgrade to the create a team and player modes. In the past when you created a team you were stuck with the premade jerseys, but now you can create your own jersey and choose the color for it and your teams symbol. Another addition is the mode create a play which allows you to create your own powerplay set up and etc. Its a good idea but its not very useful. Along with those addtions, EA has also added all of the AHL teams along with the Swedish and Finish leagues.
Their are many different flaws in the game. The first is with the team creation, yes you can choose your symbol color but their are only 12 symbols which can lead to you creating the same team over and over gain. The next flaw is that with the new additions that made deking easyeir, it is now hard to really knock down a guy. You will somtimes be stuck in your zone trying to hit the offense off the puck.
The additions to NHL 08 are a welcomed improvement, the only thing that needs improvement now is the create a team and to even out the defense and offense. If you love hockey as much as i do then what i say doesnt really matter you'll go buy it anyway.

With baseball's second half beginning Friday, USA TODAY Sports' Matt Slovin gives a team-by-team breakdown of the National League:
What has gone well: First baseman Paul Goldschmidt is the top NL MVP candidate. His on-base-plus-slugging percentage (OPS) is .952, and he has driven in 77 runs. Patrick Corbin's 0.99 walks and hits per inning (WHIP) have helped the club win almost every time he starts.
What has gone wrong: Heath Bell's struggles in the closer role — Arizona leads the majors with 19 blown saves — prompted a switch to a closer committee.
Playoff pulse: The Diamondbacks probably must win the division to reach the playoffs. It's theirs to lose, though the Los Angeles Dodgers are lurking.
What has gone well: Catcher Evan Gattis looked like a rookie of the year candidate for two months. First baseman Freddie Freeman is having a career year, batting .308 with 61 RBI. Mike Minor has looked like the rotation's best, striking out 115 over 122 innings.
What has gone wrong: Gattis' fast start has given way to an extended DL stint. Injuries have ravaged the outfield.
Playoff pulse: Like the Diamondbacks, the Braves have benefited from a down year in their division and should have enough to hold off the Philadelphia Phillies and Washington Nationals.
What has gone well: In a rebuilding year, 26-year-old lefty Travis Wood is having his best season. The Cubs' trade commodities have performed well, with starter Matt Garza attracting much attention.
What has gone wrong: Kevin Gregg has been serviceable as departed closer Carlos Marmol's replacement, but the rest of the bullpen has done a poor job.
Playoff pulse: The Cubs haven't finished above .500 since 2009, and that is not going to change.
What has gone well: First baseman Joey Votto is having another MVP-caliber season. Center fielder Shin-Soo Choo has made general manager Walt Jocketty look like a genius, getting on base at a .425 rate. All starters have 3.82 ERAs or better.
What has gone wrong: A suitable left-field replacement hasn't been found since Ryan Ludwick got hurt opening day. Catcher Ryan Hanigan is having his worst season.
Playoff pulse: A five-game lead in the wild-card standings might be reason to celebrate. Catching the St. Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh Pirates might be a challenge.
What has gone well: Michael Cuddyer, Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez all started the All-Star Game, though Tulowitzki spent time on the disabled list. Starter Jorge De La Rosa has revitalized his career.
What has gone wrong: Juan Nicasio has been ineffective at the back of the rotation.
Playoff pulse: Even though they're four games below .500, the Rockies are within striking distance. Cuddyer expressed his desire for the club to not sell at the deadline; a fast start is key to ensuring it heeds him.
GALLERY: WHAT HAS GONE WELL IN THE 1st HALF
What has gone well: Yasiel Puig has hit .391 with a .616 slugging percentage. Clayton Kershaw has been his ace self, and Hyun-jin Ryu and Zack Greinke are having solid seasons.
What has gone wrong: Outside of Puig, Hanley Ramirez and Adrian Gonzalez, the lineup has sputtered. Matt Kemp has been injured and ineffective. A rotation once eight deep needed to deal for Ricky Nolasco.
Playoff pulse: Nolasco helps, but they probably need more.
What has gone well: Jose Fernandez, the 20-year-old All-Star starter, has been as advertised, striking out a batter per inning.
What has gone wrong: The lineup is likely baseball's worst, ranking last in nearly every offensive category. Juan Pierre's sub-.300 on-base and slugging percentages are somewhat disappointing, as is catcher Rob Brantly's performance at the plate.
Playoff pulse: None, but outfielder Jake Marisnick, who has impressed at Class AA, could debut.
What has gone well: Carlos Gomez has been the NL's MVP at times. He and second-year shortstop Jean Segura are All-Stars.
What has gone wrong: Former NL MVP Ryan Braun has been hurt, and the Biogenesis scandal has not been resolved. Starter Yovani Gallardo has struggled.
Playoff pulse: The Brewers are heading for their first losing season since 2010. Gallardo and starter Kyle Lohse are potential trade chips.
What has gone well: Zack Wheeler, 23, has already had a couple impressive outings, perhaps providing a No. 2 starter alongside All-Star Matt Harvey, 24. David Wright and Marlon Byrd are having fine seasons.
What has gone wrong: First baseman Ike Davis and outfielder Jordany Valdespin suffered drop-offs and earned minor league demotions.
Playoff pulse: The Mets aren't in contention, but they probably won't be big sellers and won't deal Byrd unless the return is right.
What has gone well: Domonic Brown's .535 slugging percentage has been a big reason Philadelphia is in contention. Cliff Lee looks as good as ever as the Phillies' ace.
What has gone wrong: Cole Hamels hasn't pitched as bad as his 4-11 record suggests, but he isn't doing himself any favors. Roy Halladay had shoulder surgery.
Playoff pulse: A strong first-half finish likely ensured the Phillies will at least not sell off assets.
What has gone well: Their bullpen, anchored by closer Jason Grilli, has been tremendous. Likewise, the rotation doesn't give opposing teams much to work with.
What has gone wrong: An inconsistent offense produces 3.9 runs a game.
Playoff pulse: This isn't the first time this has been said at the break, but the Pirates might have what it takes to stick around until October. But the offense needs help.
What has gone well: A 10-2 stretch in June briefly created hope. Carlos Quentin has an OPS of .861.
What has gone wrong: San Diego has won two of its 14 July games. Catcher Yasmani Grandal suffered a season-ending injury.
Playoff pulse: As bad as the West has been, it's hard to imagine the Padres leapfrogging four teams.
What has gone well: Tim Lincecum threw a no-hitter. Madison Bumgartner is the only starter with a winning record.
What has gone wrong: Matt Cain, the staff's supposed ace, is 5-6 with a 5.06 ERA. Lincecum and Barry Zito have also been off.
Playoff pulse: For all of their faults, the Giants are just 61/2 games out of the division lead; dismantling a defending champion seems unlikely.
What has gone well: Shelby Miller, 22, is one of three St. Louis pitchers with ERAs below 3.00. Allen Craig and Yadier Molina have been productive and consistent.
What has gone wrong: Jaime Garcia is out for the season with a torn labrum in his shoulder.
Playoff pulse: Upgrading at shortstop might put them over the top in a three-team race.
What has gone well: Ian Desmond has emerged as one of the game's best shortstops. Pitchers Jordan Zimmermann, Gio Gonzalez and Stephen Strasburg are formidable.
What has gone wrong: Bryce Harper's injury problems have hindered a punchless lineup. Dan Haren tailed off badly the last two months.
Playoff pulse: Washington is still very much alive in both races. One year removed from the best record in baseball, we know the Nationals' talent is there. But can everyone stay healthy for a late-season push?

Shoreline Community College President (left) and Andy Chin, Director General of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Seattle, swap documents as they sign a letter of intent between the college and the Taiwan Academy.
Video of ceremony
More photosThe world of opportunities for Shoreline Community College students and the surrounding community just got wider.
An agreement signed on Tuesday, Jan. 31, 2012, by Shoreline Community College President Lee Lambert and Andy Chin, Director General of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Seattle, opens new cultural and scholastic channels.
"This agreement will enrich campus internationalization at Shoreline, and highlights the college's global engagement mission and reputation in Washington state, the nation and the world," Lambert said.
The agreement, a letter of intent, is between the college and the recently established Taiwan Academy. The academy was created in October, 2011, as a public diplomacy program by the Taiwan Foreign Ministry. To date, the University of Washington is the only other college or university in the state to participate in the program.
"We welcome this partnership and look forward to strengthening the relationship with Shoreline Community College," Director General Chin said. Chin has served in a variety of diplomatic positions since 1992, representing Taiwan in Sweden, Latvia and Dominica. Chin took over the Seattle post on Jan. 17, replacing Daniel Liao who has moved to another diplomatic position. Chin
For Shoreline students and faculty, the agreement means the chance to study and do research in Taiwan. The Taiwan Academy tie brings access to historical and diplomatic archives. Opportunities to learn the Chinese language will also be enhanced.
Priority opportunities for applicants to the Taiwan Fellowships and Scholarships Program are also now available.
The agreement may also ease the way for cultural exchanges, including art, music, literature and other opportunities.
For its part, the college will become a "Contact Point of the Taiwan Academy," disseminating information on the various academy programs and working on other activities through mutual cooperation.
State Rep. Larry Seaquist listens to testimony Monday, Jan. 30, 2011.
The bill
The hearing on TVW
SCC's submitted testimony
More photosThe House Higher Education Committee voted 15-1 on Monday, Jan. 30, 2011 to send a bill encouraging innovative approaches in remedial education moving along the legislative conveyor belt.
House Bill 2717 is the brainchild of committee chairman Rep. Larry Seaquist. The Gig Harbor lawmaker took his committee on the road this past summer for a series of meetings, or chautauquas, across the state. "This bill emerges from our summer's work," said Seaquist, noting that he and committee members saw many examples of innovative approaches. "And we saw how many more people we ought to be educating than we are educating right now."
Shoreline Community College President Lee Lambert and faculty member Amy Kinsel testified at the hearing.
Lambert shared examples of how Shoreline is innovating to get better outcomes for students in remedial math and holding down the cost for those students. Lambert said the programs reflect the college's focus on four core values, including: affordability, accessibility, accountability and outcomes.
"We look to see if they are accomplishing one of those four broad principles," Lambert said.
Kinsel spoke of the collaborative support between faculty and administration at the college. "... being an incubator of ideas at the faculty level, it's great to have the support of the administration," she said.
Kinsel is also the faculty union representative at Shoreline and a legislative liaison for the Washington chapter of the American Federation of Teachers. AFT-Washington and Kinsel submitted suggested language that would specifically include faculty and students in discussion about innovative approaches. Seaquist offered an amendment to include the suggested language that was approved by the committee and included in the bill as passed.
Also testifying was Michelle Andreas, Director of Student Services & Transfer Education for the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges. Andreas noted the many innovation projects already being undertaken by colleges across the state. She suggested that the bill's reporting requirements overlap with an ongoing efficiencies study and that the two could be folded together. The only vote against the bill was Rep. Chris Reykdal, a former state board staff member.
Others testifying included Zach Johnson of Blackboard, Inc., which provides Shoreline's learning management system and other online services, as well as representatives from the University of Washington and Western Washington University.
Just prior to the committee vote that pushes the bill along to the House Ways & Means Committee, Rep. Seaquist said, "Sometimes we are so focused on budget, it is important to remember we have an important agenda to foster innovation."
SCC/Jim Hills
Budget memo from SCC Senior Executive Team and Strategic Planning & Budget Committee
Gov. Gregoire's proposed budget
Economic & Revenue Forecast Council
State Legislature
SBCTC legislative newsThe question isn't so much what the state Legislature will do, but how they will do it.
That's what Shoreline Community College students, faculty and staff - and everyone else in the state - are waiting to see when the Washington Legislature is gaveled into regular session, Monday, Jan. 9, 2012.
The top priority is clear: Fill in the rest of a $2 billion hole in the state budget identified in September by Gov. Chris Gregoire. Lawmakers already had one crack at it, but only got a quarter of the way there. In November, Gregoire proposed an all-cuts supplemental budget and then called lawmakers to Olympia on Nov. 28, 2011 for a special session.
On Dec. 14, legislators passed a supplemental budget that included a package of financial moves designed to save the state about $500 million. The rest, they said, would come in the regular session.
What they didn't say is how it would come.
As passed, the supplemental budget doesn't include any general decrease to community and technical college budgets. It also preserves funding for the State Need Grant and Work Study programs. The supplemental budget does not contemplate any savings from additional furloughs or changes to employee compensation in the current fiscal year that ends June 30, 2012.
Based on the supplemental budget, Shoreline is not required to make any reductions to its current operating budget for this fiscal year.
However, the special session left approximately $1.5 billion worth of work for the regular session and little beyond the Governor's proposal to indicate just how that work might get done.
"The Legislature could impose cuts for the current year when it returns in January," said Vice President for Administrative Services Daryl Campbell. "We have no indication that they plan to do so, but it is always a possibility."
While Gregoire's plan was largely sidestepped by lawmakers during the special session, it does offer one possible scenario. If adopted, it would reduce funding for Shoreline and the rest of the community and technical colleges, but not until July, 1, 2012. The Governor's proposal would:
The $2 billion target is based on September and November revenue projections that suggest the state will be $1.4 billion – perhaps more - short of budgeted expenses. Gregoire proposed a little more than $2 billion in cuts, leaving the state with about $600 million as a hedge against further economic uncertainties. The next state revenue projection is scheduled on or before Feb. 20, 2012.
While Gregoire presented a balanced, all-cuts budget as required, she also separately proposed a revenue package titled, "Revenue Alternatives for Building a Better Future."
The core of the revenue package is a half-cent increase in the state's portion of the sales tax that would end in 2015. Of the $494 million in projected revenue from the sales-tax increase, Gregoire would use $411 million would buy back the bulk of the cuts she proposed for education. For community and technical colleges, that could include avoiding the 13 percent general reduction and reinstating Work Study.
The sales-tax increase would have to be approved by voters and, if the Legislature passes it, could appear on a ballot perhaps as soon as March.
Gregoire also proposes to raise new revenue from business-tax increases and eliminating tax exemptions. Those increases could be imposed by the Legislature, $59 million-worth with a simple majority vote and another $282 million requiring a two-thirds supermajority approval.
Although not part of Gregoire's proposal or the Legislature's supplemental budget, there are six pages of bills that the State Board of Community and Technical Colleges is monitoring for the possible effects on community and technical colleges. Here are just two:

Also happening to us!
WIMP--XP server, IIS 6
mysql 4.1.22
php 5.1.2
Turned ajax off for a while, sadly.
We are having this problem too. Although we are experiencing it using Moodle 1.7.2+ We haven't upgraded to 1.8 yet but if we do I will check and report back.
Windows Server 2003
MySQL 5.0.2
Moodle 1.7.2+
We are using IE6 and when AJAX is enabled dragging and dropping topics and deleting resources is very tempremental. It doesn't work more often than not.
When deleting a resource you get a confirmation box (with a resource ID that is wrong) and the resource appears deleted. However when you refresh the page or turn the editing off the resource appears again.
We have had to turn AJAX off which is a bummer - great feature
I'm having this problem in the 1.9 Beta as well, with the same symptoms as the comments above.
We're having the same problem on 1.9 beta 2, Mandriva Linux 2007.1, mysql 5.0.35, apache 2.2.4,
(my husband does NOT have the same problem on 1.8+, Mandriva Linux 2007.0, mysql 5.0.24, apache 2.2.3)
We were working fine under WIMP with a Moodle 1.8 install from around August 1st. We had upgraded from 1.6.3. Once we upgraded to the latest 1.8.3+ code this week, AJAX deleting stopped working. Perhaps that is a clue to the solution? I can pull files from the specific version that worked and swap them out if someone can direct me to the right file(s). Faculty loved AJAX for the one term we had it...
Hi I just tried this out on the latest 1.9 beta and its gone, can you see if you still have the same issue?
If it doesn't work what browser are you using and which version of php do you have?
I noticed this bug, where with Ajax enabled on course homepage, when I delete an assignment (the only thing I tested), it did not delete the entry. It did delete the assignment, rendering a textless icon that links to an assignment that cannot be found. Did I explain that okay?
Moodle 1.9 Beta 3
MySQL 4.1.21 (or 22?)
Apache 1.3.3
Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:184.108.40.206) Gecko/20071128 Iceweasel/184.108.40.206 (Debian-22.214.171.124-1)
I've also been bitten by this bug in Moodle 1.9 Beta 4.
The interesting note here is, it works fine with our Firefox users. The bug only seems to affect IE users.
Our users, both IE and Firefox alike, experience this issue.
Same here with firefox
Apache 2.2.10
MySql 5.0.5
Moodle 1.9.2
Tested on both Windows Vista and Ubuntu GNU/Linux machines (amd64) with Firefox 3.0.5
We have the same issue with version 1.9.3+(build 20090107)
windows 2003 server
iis6 using fast cgi for php
php 5.2.8
mssql 2005
issues in both IE7 and Firefox
it would be nice if this could be fixed or at leat a way of fixing it distributed because our teachers really like the functionality and ease of use when editing their courses with ajax enabled but we are going to have to disable it until this is resolved.
It would be nice if it could be reproduced! The reports here almost all show different server specs and different moodle versions, and none of the ones I've tried have displayed this bug. Maybe you could give us more information:
1. Does it happen in all your courses?
2. What language do you use?
3. What theme do you use?
4. Any extra information you feel would be useful?
We usually use a custom theme based on the formal white one. I have swapped to the standard theme on our test server (IIS 6, php 5.2.8, moodle 1.9.3+(build 20090107) which is the same spec as our live server. The error happens on every course including a course i just created. If i turn debugging on in ie i get the attached error.
I hope this helps in some way.
Sorry - forgot to mention that I have attached a screenshot of the error.
I've just tested for this issue at home (local machine running xamp php version 5.2.6) and the items delete fine. I am using a different build at home though (1.93+ build 20081119 and 1.9.3 build 20090114) I will try these versions on our test server at work in the morning and post my findings.
Hope this helps
Yep this issue spawned twice now in my site (1.9.2 I believe)
I created a class for a professor and was demoing how to add and remove items. Deletion failed to "stick". You could delete the item. but on refresh it failed to stay deleted. I deleted the course and recreated it - no problems with that one now.
Today a course that had been working has stopped. In IE you can't move via AJAX at all. Dragging and dropping an item causes it to disappear, and the move right and left arrow will move items only until the next screen refresh. In Firefox (v 2.0.02) the arrows will work, but dragging an item causes it to disappear, and the "move" sprite to stay on the screen (almost as if it hooked the item and then forgot how to let go?)
My other courses are working fine. No sitewide changes have occurred recently, and it is happening on only one of 6 classes.
If someone wants more detailed information send me an email: lmeyerjr "at" mdc "dot" edu and we'll see what we can find 8)
I transitioned between servers with different LAMP setups and encountered this problem today using 1.9.4 (Build 20090128). My solution will work for those people who get an entry in their error log when an item is deleted stating:
client denied by server configuration: /path/to/moodle/course/rest.php
as in
The default policy in the new apache configuration (provided by the control panel) was to only accept the GET, POST, OPTIONS, & PROPFIND methods. The issue is that Moodle uses the 'DELETE' method and so I had to modify my apache configuration to allow the DELETE method so that the section now looks like this:
<LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND DELETE>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Since this seems to be a common issue with the number of votes and watchers, maybe Moodle should not use the DELETE method and instead use POST for deletions with a query parameter to specify the action to take?
Thanks Matthew, I added the following to my Moodle directory in Apache conf and it fixed the problem.
<Limit GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND DELETE>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
<LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND DELETE>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
I was hoping to provide a patch for this bug, but I could not reproduce it using MAMP with Firefox or IE7. Is this bug still around in the latest stable for the people who were able to reproduce it?
I am still having this problem with Moodle 1.9.4+ (Build: 20090505). I am not getting this error message displayed in the screenshot but when I delete an item with Ajax enabled it reappears after refreshing the page.
Just to confirm my above report I have tried this in Firefox 3.0.10 and IE 7.0.5730.11 T
I agree with with Nicolas Connault's comment above. There are many comments in this bug, but people have various server setups, moodle versions and some mention that they are using other themes.
I still cannot reproduce the bug. Could somebody who is able to reproduce the bug enable debugging in their site? What messages do you get in the pop-up log reader?
I'm using Moodle 1.9.4+ (Build: 20090310) with PostgreSQL & PHP Version 5.1.6
Attached is a doc with screenshots and the output of the logger with regard to item reappearing...
Interestingly enough this is happening on my development site that I use for themes but not on our test production site (which has the same git branch and PHP Info...)
I hope the attached is helpful for you.
Teresa, I seem to recall the Wintec site has its code hosted in GIT. Is the code available anywhere? Is it managed by Catalyst? I'm mentoring Jose and hoping he can get his hands on the code you're running to debug the problem.
As he mentions, it fairly likely that some interaction with the theme or some other customisation is the problem.
Hi Martin
(I'm at Waikato Uni now!) Yes Waikato uses GIT. Catalyst has a copy of our branch however as mentioned above this error is happening on my development site not our test production so I'm not sure it would help.
I can say that my dev site "Moodle debug - YUI Log Console is spitting out this:
Dev site - resource reappears:
Making DELETE connection to /course/rest.php?courseId=3&class=resource&id=35
mdltest - resources does not reappear:
Making DELETE connection to /course/rest.php?courseId=2185&class=resource&id=64490
INFO 147332ms (+107) 11:04:37 a.m.:
Response from the Request: OK:
Martin, turns out the problem Teresa mentioned on our development machine is related to the httpd.conf "LimitExcept" issue (as mentioned by Mathew above)
I have been dealing with this bug on an IIS server running PHP under fastcgi.
The problem was that fastcgi was only configured to handle GET, HEAD,POST requests adding DELETE to this list fixed the problem.
Happening to us as well:
A faculty member is having an issue deleting a resource. When he goes in and turns on editing, and then tries to delete a resource, it looks like the resource deleted from the screen, but when he does a refresh the resource appears again. We found out that if we have the "Ajax and Javascript" turned on (We have this turned on so he can delete multiple resources on one screen) he cannot delete the resource. If he turns Ajax off, he can delete the resource with no problem.
This was happening to us too in the following environment:
Windows Server 2008 Standard - SP2
PHP 5.2.10 (PHP via FastCGI)
MySQL 5
Moodle 1.9.5+ (Build: 20090819)
We were getting 405 Error Codes when trying to delete a course file using AJAX - due to the DELETE HTTP Method verb not being allowed on our server.
I enabled the DELETE method (Using IIS Server Manager > Handler Mappings > PHP_via_FastCGI > Edit > Request Restrictions... > adding DELETE to "One of the following verbs" input box) but when I did it would delete the 'rest.php' file the AJAX delete function points to, so I disabled the DELETE method and used the following fix instead:
I was able to fix this bug by modifying two files: section_classes.js, rest.php
1. section_classes.js (/moodle/lib/ajax/section_classes.js)
CHANGE THIS (line 837 - in mine):
main.connect('DELETE', 'class=resource&id='+this.id);
main.connect('POST', 'class=resource&action=DELETE&id='+this.id);
2. rest.php (/moodle/course/rest.php)
- Add a new optional parameter to the top of the page - underneath the other variable assignments (line 23)
$page_action = optional_param('action', '', PARAM_ALPHA);
- Edit the $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] switch (line 52)
switch($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']) {
$req_method = ($page_action == 'DELETE') ? 'DELETE' : $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'];
switch($req_method) {
Hope this is of help to someone.
Reproducing this error
1. Does it happen in all your courses? - yes
2. What language do you use? - English
3. What theme do you use? - Custom theme (based on liip)
4. Any extra information you feel would be useful? - see above
Thanks all for your help in debugging this annoyingly persistent bug! And thanks Nathan for your suggested fix, which I used to fix not only course deletion but also block deletion, which was also using the DELETE method.
Nathan's revision work for me too. I'm using version 1.9.5
I'm creating a patch based on his suggestion for rest.php file. As for my section_classes.js (/moodle/lib/ajax/section_classes.js) file, i don't have to change anything.
Running the latest 1.9. Updated this morning. Still can't use AJAX delete button.
I updated our installation with the new lib/ajax/ajaxcourse.js and lib/ajax/ajaxlib.php and now items no longer delete in the course. Once you delete something it disappears, but when you turn editing off the item appears again.
Nicolas - Ryan was good enough to comment on
MDL-10142 so I confirmed the behavior and am still observing the "fake delete" on my test system. Let me know how I can help track this down. Peace - Anthony
Thank you for testing the bug.
I had files conflict when updated my files to cvs last friday and commiting the wrong version of the file.
anyways, I re-commited rest.php to 1.9_stable. Please give it a try and let me know if you have more question.
Thank you
Cancel that, now when I try to drag blocks and drop them to a new location, they move, but when you turn editing off they move back to their original positions.
Hi Ryan - are you trying to move the blocks on the left and right of the page? if it is, please refer to
MDL-11131 for solutions.
Closing this issue as it seems to be working correctly now. If you are experiencing other possibly related issues its probably best to open or add to another more specific issue report
This problem has come back in 1.9.9
"Having problems deleting course items with Ajax enabled.
When I delete any item (resource or activity) with Ajax enabled the item disappears after the confirmation box. When the course page is reloaded the deleted item reappears.
Disabling Ajax allows items to be deleted successfully."
Also "when I try to drag blocks and drop them to a new location, they move, but when you turn editing off they move back to their original positions."

A two vehicle accident on Main Street in Castle Dale on Monday afternoon left two vehicles severely damaged.
The accident occurred at the Center and Main Street intersection in Castle Dale at approximately 3:30 p.m. A Ford Escape allegedly pulled out in front of a truck pulling a horse trailer heading northbound.
The Castle Dale EMTs responded to the scene to check out those involved in the accident, but no one was transported to the hospital. Both vehicles sustained extensive damage.
Traffic was diverted around the accident scene by the Castle Dale Fire Department and the Emery County Sheriff's Office.
The Utah Highway Patrol is handling the investigation.

If you would rather stick close to home on St. Patrick's Day but still want to get out, then O'Sullivan's Public House might be just the place for you. Located at 12525 W. North Ave., O'Sullivan's (formerly Ritters) is practically straddling the border between Wauwatosa and Brookfield. In fact, that is what one of the owners, Jeff Syvock, says attracts customers.
"Nearly 70 percent of our customers live within 10 to 15 miles of Tosa, Brookfield and Elm Grove," he says. "They can come out and have a drink and feel safe driving home."
Syvock - who opened O'Sullivan's in 2008 with his wife, Sue, and their friends, Larry and Becky Sullivan - has a simple description for his restaurant: "It's a local sports bar with an Irish theme that serves really good food."
Their loyal clientele agrees and has developed a fondness for several items on the O'Sullivan's menu: the corned beef and cabbage ($7), the Reuben sandwich ($8), Irish stew (cup $3.50/bowl $4.50) and the ribs (half-rack $7.50/full rack $14.)
Parents of young kids can rest easy knowing that O'Sullivan's has a kids menu sure to please even the pickiest eaters, making the restaurant very popular with young families.
"We pride ourselves on having a very kid-friendly atmosphere but also a definite sports atmosphere," explains Syvock. "That's why you'll see so many high-definition TVs in the bar. I'm a sports nut!" No doubt there are many others in the western suburbs with the same sports addiction.
On St. Patrick's Day, O'Sullivan's will have its Irish pride on full display. There will be t-shirts for the first 50 customers, green beer (featuring Guinness and Murphy's Stout), bagpipers and favorite Irish food including Corned Beef and Cabbage.
So if you're looking for a place to celebrate on March 17th where you can bring the kids and not put too many miles on your car, O'Sullivan's would love for you to spend St. Patrick's Day with them.

Before Americans vote for their next president, they must read David Horowitz's account of the Left's alliance with Islamic radicls -- Lt. General Thomas McInerney USAF (Ret.), Co author, with Maj. General Paul Vallely, Endgame
David Horowitz is synonymous with pyrotechnics. A historian and polemicist of the first order, he is paid the ultimate compliment -- Rich Lowry, Editor National Review
Mike 'Rifle' DeLong was the best deputy commander I could have imagined. Seasoned in Vietnam as a young helicopter pilot, -- General Tommy R. Franks, U.S. Army (Ret.), former commander of CentCom
Written with great zest and intellectual energy, David Horowitz's Unholy Alliance is primarily a devastating indictment of how the radical -- Norman Podhoretz, Author, critic, and senior fellow at the Hudson Institute
From the Inside Flap
Horowitzs Unholy Alliance, writes John Haynes, the noted historian of American Communism, "is an insightful, brilliant examination of the mental world of the radical left. Horowitz shows how todays radicals, unwilling to reflect on the internal flaws that destroyed Marxism-Leninism from within, have embraced an all-consuming nihilism in its place. This has led them to a hatred of American institutions and a solidarity with Islamic terrorists that makes the radical left more properly regarded as dangerous than loony."
Unholy Alliance is an eye-opening book that should unsettle conventional assumptions and reveals why intellectuals and political leaders who applaud Michael Moore are no laughing matter. As Harvey Klehr, author of Venona: Decoding Soviet Espionage in America, writes, "The world Communist movement may be moribund, but its habits of mind and ideological fantasies have not disappeared. This is a fascinating and depressing account."
