'They stole everything that wasn't nailed down'
KATU has reported on the homeless camps and possible criminal activity alongside various stretches of the trail before.
KATU has reported on the homeless camps and possible criminal activity alongside various stretches of the trail before.
Allowing homeless to camp only seems to invite crime. When I see these folks who have collections of stuff, I can't help but wonder where they get it. They don't work. I see them with brand-new tents, various collections of bicycle parts, sleeping bags, etc. They are stealing it from people who do work.
crime was down during Occupy when they all concentrated in the park

This is the home that Uncle Bill grew up in. Â They bought it and fixed it up after his Dad died. They are over 80 years old.
You say move and let the scum drive them out. THIS IS THEIR HOME! Â
82nd and Johnson Creek has always been a shi$#$ty neighborhood. Â But this hasn't helped.
Keeping Portland Weirdâ¢
you're definitely screwed if you don't nail everything down these days.
One would think that if this remained an abandoned railroad line, the only people in that area would be those that Neva's don't want around. Being a developed pathway this at least attracts the general public, which most likely keeps the criminal element lower than if not developed.Â
The joys of a liberal tolerant society that fails to keep criminals locked up for everyone's good including their own.
"They can also see the homeless, transients, prostitutes, thieves and drug addicts." Looks like you paid for that view.
Um, is anyone else wondering what the story is here? Sounds like the story is about the police and the homeless people, and somehow KATU is trying to tie that in with this couple that now sleeps with a gun, and doesn't leave home after 6 pm........
Trail of Dreams.
Build it and they will come.
That is what happens when you live in the cesspool known as Portland!
See... destroying the economy has untended consequences throughout society look at the root cause...
And remember just because you turn around in a circle..
Doesn't mean the world revolves around you...Â
The city should trim all the blackberries and larger vegetation away a lot of this activity would move. Â It seems a big mistake on so many levels that
nothing is done to clear the blackberries out. Â It is invasive species in the first place. Â It hides crime and is a hazard on the trail. Â I never ride my bike on the trail because it feels so unsafe.Â
A citywide project, perhaps volunteer project, to remove all the blackberries from the trail would be a great move.
I don't understand that the city "asked" homeless campers to move. Â I think law enforcement telling them to move and give them a 24 hour notice should be enforced.
If I was this couple I would sell my home. Â I sold the home I lived in for 28 years at a big loss because of the market because it was simply too big to care for. Â Reality bites. Â I do worry for them.
Portland loves and welcomes the homeless.
You can build a home in the wild fire zone in Bend and get millions spent to save your house from fire but no money spent to save your house from being robbed by government enabled escape routes. More wealth redistribution.
Wow. I feel sorry for them. That sucks.
Well, he's fibbing a bit, because there has always been homeless camps along those tracks. They're just able to get around better now. The SWC is a great place to ride or walk, but never in a million years would I live adjacent to it. Everything he describes is true. I see it every time I use the trail. There's a good size group camp set up right now, near this house. I'd estimate around 20 people combining their resources.
I certainly agree that the Springwater Trail can attract it's share of less that wholesome folks. Â However, after scanning most of the comments below, I feel it's ironic to blame the trail itself for any of this criminal activity. Â It's like blaming guns for crimes, not the criminals using guns to commit said crimes. Â Just another observation. Â IH77
Sorry this guy is going through all this, but who buys a house directly adjacent to railroad tracks? Â And who holds onto a house that's now directly adjacent to something he abhors? Â Move, dude.Â
Get ready methwaukie just wait until light rail gets going
I would either put up a good 6 foot chain link fence, with a couple of good electric  wires just below the top inside.  Or if not able to afford that a couple of low electric fence wires about 2 or 3 feet apart just above the ground and only turn them on dusk to dawn.  You would know when someone tripped on the first one and fell on the second.  Should hear quite a chorus.  And if they wet themselves it would even be better.Â
@LaurenWRosenberg Yes we all know that Prostitution on Craig's List pays well!
@TerminalVelocity The USA is number 1 in the world for the percentage of it's population behind bars. What more do you want?
@TerminalVelocity  The joys of a conservative society that fails to realize it costs money to keep people locked up for crimes such as vagrancy and petty theft.  "Lower taxes, less government" comes with a price.
@pdxd2thesequel Ya but I would not blame them for owning pitbulls while not a fan of the dog in general. I would go for a good pair of German Shepards myself.
@yesiam Lower the value of homes makes development much cheaper. More Gov housing on public and bicycle transportation. As I said earlier - The Homeless Chi Minh  Trail. Good for the commies
Do I hear you volunteering to lead a work party? I didn'tthink so.
Your ideas present another $2 Mil goverment subsidy.
@tullyB Wow that's a twist on reality....
That's like shaving you sak to make the hair on your head grow more...
So how is that working for ya.??
@Lips That's a rather childish thing to say. Â Are you an adult? Â I am sure it is a lot worse than it used to be.
@SunDowner So lets blame the home owner??? That is like blame the hot girl in a skimpy tight dress for getting raped.
Ever think maybe they could not afford a nice home away from the tracks 35 years ago?
For someone who usually sides with the liberals your comment today seems more like some usually blamed on those mean spirited conservatives.
@Yamhill354 Great idea.....if you are prepared to face the resulting lawsuit due to some scum getting injured on your property. And no amount of "no trespassing" signs will save you.
@Subsailor @TerminalVelocity He wants nightly round-ups of suspicious individuals.
I'd go for the german shepard as well.
At night?
Hell I have a alley behind my home and every year like clockwork I go out there with Round Up, a weed whacker and a chainsaw (this is Oregon blackberries get BIG).
Now I have some homeless that live in the alley but I make no bones about it, the alley to the middle is part of my property. The alley from the middle to the guy across is his.
Itâs all private property.
Since the other home is vacant I have taken it upon myself to clear both residenceâs of the shrub.
And in doing so, no one wants to camp near my home, the alley is serviceable there and my home has never been broken into.
That saying something considering the average number of break-in in my area is 1 every 10 years (for ALL homes).
@my2cents Actually, I am an adult. Old enough to have seen and used both the rail and the trail. You know the the bums and kids used to hop the freight rains along those tracks to get from point A to point B? Now it's just bikes and walkers. You can be sure of nothing unless you can say the same. Can you?Â
@TerminalVelocity  I guess there's a third option:  You can fight back and hope you're the survivor.  I'd still sell and move rather than wait another 10 years hoping things will get better.
@TerminalVelocity  How is this (or how did you decide to turn this) a conservative vs liberal thing?  If someone is standing in front of you poking you in the 'nads with a stick over and over again, you have two choices:  relocate yourself or stand there and let them keep poking your 'nads.  To me, this is like buying a home in the landing pattern of PDX and then complaining about the noise of the jet engines.  If it were me, I'd sell and relocate.  I guess if it were you, you'd stay and complain.  It sounds to me like much improvement could happen if there were a major clean-up of vegetation -- hard to hide if there's no where to hide.
@Sports Fan Who would buy it? It is probably a decent little house and they couldn't buy as much of a house elsewhere with what the could now get for the house...just a thought?
@wandering @Yamhill354 Not sure electric fences are illegal or that a drug addict could get an attorney although a greedy one would do it for 50% if they thought they could win.
Right now there are apparently more buyers than sellers when it comes to homes in Portland. They likely wouldn't have much of an issue selling it.
@Jack Smith @Sports Fan  If he's had it for 35 years, he'll make one hell of a return on his investment even if he sells it on the cheap.  Sounds to me like it's time for him to cut his losses (or hush?).
@Alfred @IH77 I grew up along those tracks, before it was a rails to trails, and yes, there has always been homeless camps. They were less in your face than they are now. But they've lived under all of the bridges over Johnson Creek, for as long as I can remember. All through the 70's you'd come across them passed out with baggies of gold paint and tubes of glue. Or the really desperate ones, a gasoline soaked rag. The trail is safer than the tracks ever were.

Malloy administration dumps the State's best/toughest labor negotiator
Nov 25
Ben Barnes (OPM Secretary), Linda Yelmini, Malloy Ben Barnes, Linda Yelmini, Malloy 6 Comments
In a stunning move that surprised people across the political spectrum, Governor Malloy's administration has laid off the individual who is widely acknowledged as the best and toughest labor negotiator the State of Connecticut has ever had.
Linda Yelmini has worked as a classified state employee since 1987, serving as a key labor negotiator and personnel manager for Connecticut's Democrat and Republican governors, as well as for Independent Governor Lowell Weicker.
Those of us who have been involved in projects on the same side and opposing sides of Yelmini can attest to her extraordinary understanding of the law and her dedication to the state and its taxpayers.
Over the years, her reputation as a tough negotiator and manager has led many to observe that one definitely doesn't want to be on the wrong side of an issue that she is working on and there are certainly active, retired and fired state employees who'd even call her ruthless.
That said, there are others who would argue that while she is tough, she has constantly strived to ensure that work rules have been applied consistently…which may just be the problem the Malloy administration has with her. I'm sure they found it harder to make some political hires when the state's chief labor negotiator tells them such a move would violate state labor laws and contracts.
While the Malloy administration's decision to remove Yelmini and throw away her decades of experience is extremely odd, the way they went about it and their effort to spin their story is even stranger.
When interviewed about the news, Yelmini told reporters that the announcement to remove her from her career position had come as a "shock" and that she was told that her position would be replaced by a "political appointee."
At the same time, in what could only be called laughable, Malloy told reporters that he had nothing to do with the decision, claiming that his budget director, Ben Barnes, was solely responsible for the action."
CT Newsjunkie quoted Malloy as saying, "Ben's going to continue in the position as secretary and he's designing what he wants I guess."
The notion that the governor's budget director would lay off the state's chief negotiator and replace that person with a "political appointee" without the approval of the governor is beyond absurd.
Unless, of course, Malloy is telling the truth in which case it is an extremely sad commentary about Malloy's lack of managerial focus and his lack of commitment to his role as Connecticut's Chief Executive Officer.
The CT Newsjunkie story went on to report that, "Malloy said he leaves these types of personnel decisions up to his department heads…'Within these departments, I give a lot of leeway to the people who are hired to do the job,' Malloy said."
So let's get this straight…
Malloy is saying that despite that fact that the state is facing a projected $1.4 billion budget deficit next year, in which the Governor, himself, has consistently said he won't raise taxes, won't cut aid to towns, won't cut vital services and won't need to sit down with state employee unions to talk about concessions, he allowed an underling to fire the state's chief labor negotiator and replace her with a political appointee…and he wasn't even involved in the decision?
Yeah, and I got a bridge to sell if anyone wants to buy it.
You can read more about this strange development at: Malloy Administration Personnel Changes Are Under Way.

The Thinking Life: How to Thrive in the Age of Distraction
by P. M. Forni
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I love the premise of this book - that we don't spend enough time just thinking. A lot of people are so caught up in the activities of their lives that they never spend a moment to think about what it all means. This is a great book to help you assess whether or not you do enough thinking. It is a quick read and has some good stories that reinforce the ideas.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0312625715, Hardcover)
Professor Forni, founder of The Civility Initiative at Johns Hopkins, is America's civility expert. In his first two books, Choosing Civility and The Civility Solution, he taught readers the rules of civil behavior and ways of responding to rudeness. Now, in The Thinking Life, he looks at the importance of thinking in our lives: how we do it, why we don't do enough of it and why we need to do more of it.
In twelve short chapters, he gives readers a remedy for the Age of Distraction, an age fuelled by the internet, Blackberries and cellphones, all of which make constant demands on our attention, diverting it from one thing to another. After suggesting ways we can find time to think more, Forni shows readers how we can improve our abilities of:
Just as he did with civility, he puts the importance of good thinking front and center in a book as simple and as profound as his earlier works.
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:43:10 -0400)
Explains the importance of thinking in daily life, discussing how to achieve focus, creativity, and a positive outlook in a technology-driven world.

How is 1,200 2.4% of 110,000?
I marvel at laws that ban smoking in cars ... you're in a car! on a street! (Probably) in traffic! What sort of air do you think humanity is breathing?
Let's tackle obesity first. Japan has tons of cars, tons of smokers, and a longer length (and higher quality) of life than my US of A. Some fish, some rice, and exercise go a long way.
dear sirs,
once again we witnessing how gullible media becomes aides of procter&gamble et al.
Michael Marlow economist at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo wrote some interesting articles about smoking bans (available for example at cato institute) describing the flawed, biased methods used in studies "proving" the health effects of products that the sponsors produces....
the only strong correlation seen is the surge in nicotine chewing gum sales. politics of fear- just like in the case of global warming the economist decided to side with the political correct against the mathematical literate.
Is it just me or has someone else also seen a rather disturbing tendency of this publication to promote and/or justify state interventions???

The number of heart attacks has fallen since England imposed a smoking ban
Wednesday, 9 June 2010
Latest smoking ban/heart attack study is pure junk science
Have you seen the study by NBER researchers which found that heart attacks rates are just as likely to increase as to decrease after the imposition of smoking bans. The study, CHANGES IN U.S HOSPITALIZATION AND MORTALITY RATES FOLLOWING
SMOKING BANS, concludes:
"U.S. state and local governments are increasingly restricting smoking in public places. This paper analyzes nationally representative databases, including the Nationwide Inpatient Sample, to compare short-term changes in mortality and hospitalization rates in smoking-restricted regions with control regions. In contrast with smaller regional studies, we find that workplace bans are not associated with statistically significant short-term declines in mortality or hospital admissions for myocardial infarction
or other diseases. An analysis simulating smaller studies using subsamples reveals that large short-term increases in myocardial infarction incidence following a workplace ban are as common as the large decreases reported in the published literature."
The researchers further suggest:
"We also show that there is wide year-to-year variation in myocardial infarction death and admission rates even in large regions such as counties and hospital catchment areas. Comparisons of small samples (which represent subsamples of our data and are similar to the samples used in the previous published literature) might have led to atypical findings. It is also possible that comparisons showing increases in cardiovascular events after a smoking ban were not submitted for publication because
the results were considered implausible. Hence, the true distribution from single 23 regions would include both increases and decreases in events and a mean close to zero, while the published record would show only decreases in events. Thus, publication bias could plausibly explain why dramatic short-term public health improvements were seen in prior studies of smoking bans."
Smoking ban opponents have long suspected that the cities chosen for smoking ban heart attack studies were cherry picked. For instance, the Illinois Licensed Beverage Association warns on its website:
"Researchers can deliberately sift through enough small local jurisdictions with smoking bans to find a few aberrations in heart attack rates and then claim that elimination of exposure to secondhand smoke will dramatically reduce incidents of heart attacks. Please don't be taken in by misleading claims based on very select data samples."
Just wanted to say, to the commenter who suggested fish and rice, that white rice is absolutely terrible for you, and brown rice is only healthy in strict moderation.
Fish, though it has many health benefits, is not ideal due to the serious depopulation of major choice commercial fish populations.
A diet heavy in leafy greens with the very occasional lean red meat or fish, along with regular exercise, is a far better option for healthy living.
As to smoking, it seems a bit of a non-issue to me. Most places in America that have heavy outdoor smoker populations are also the scene of far worse health risks -- stabbing, for one. There is a definite perceived relationship between the use of tobacco products and income. And as smoking has been heading steadily downhill in years thanks to heavy taxation and heightened awareness of the health consequences of smoking, it seems likely that such laws will become ever more irrelevant as time passes.
It is interesting how many comments here decry the bias of this article. Statistics can be used indiscriminately to support, refute, whatever. And a few "scientific" studies here and there (whether for or against) are just as weak.
The main fact that should be considered: I am a non-smoker and I choose not to smoke. A smoker has no right to impinge on my choice - which they are doing if they smoke in enclosed public spaces that I must frequent thereby forcing me to breathe second-hand smoke. I don't care about the possible long term side-effects. I care about the immediate effects of coughing, eyes watering and generally not breathing well. I care about the stink. I have no problem if a smoker wishes to smoke in their own home, or in their own car. But in a public place, whether enclosed or open, it should be banned.
Le Parisien,
Even assuming no negative consequences from ETS, for a non smoker it is extremely unpleasant to be in the company of smokers.
And traffic pollution might be more damaging to health than ETS, since it permeates more our lives, ETS has the exact pathways and mechanisms of action as traffic related pollution so besides being awful to stand, it has the potential to be harmful for health when experienced in excess (like for a non-smoker pub worker or any worker in an enclosed space frequented by smokers).
'They have created a fear that is based on nothing''
World-renowned pulmonologist, president of the prestigious Research Institute Necker for the last decade, Professor Philippe Even, now retired, tells us that he's convinced of the absence of harm from passive smoking. A shocking interview.
What do the studies on passive smoking tell us?
PHILIPPE EVEN. There are about a hundred studies on the issue. First surprise: 40% of them claim a total absence of harmful effects of passive smoking on health. The remaining 60% estimate that the cancer risk is multiplied by 0.02 for the most optimistic and by 0.15 for the more pessimistic … compared to a risk multiplied by 10 or 20 for active smoking! It is therefore negligible. Clearly, the harm is either nonexistent, or it is extremely low.
It is an indisputable scientific fact. Anti-tobacco associations report 3 000-6 000 deaths per year in France ...
I am curious to know their sources. No study has ever produced such a result.
Many experts argue that passive smoking is also responsible for cardiovascular disease and other asthma attacks. Not you?
They don't base it on any solid scientific evidence. Take the case of cardiovascular diseases: the four main causes are obesity, high cholesterol, hypertension and diabetes. To determine whether passive smoking is an aggravating factor, there should be a study on people who have none of these four symptoms. But this was never done. Regarding chronic bronchitis, although the role of active smoking is undeniable, that of passive smoking is yet to be proven. For asthma, it is indeed a contributing factor ... but not greater than pollen!
The purpose of the ban on smoking in public places, however, was to protect non-smokers. It was thus based on nothing?
Absolutely nothing! The psychosis began with the publication of a report by the IARC, International Agency for Research on Cancer, which depends on the WHO (Editor's note: World Health Organization). The report released in 2002 says it is now proven that passive smoking carries serious health risks, but without showing the evidence. Where are the data? What was the methodology? It's everything but a scientific approach. It was creating fear that is not based on anything.
Why would anti-tobacco organizations wave a threat that does not exist?
The anti-smoking campaigns and higher cigarette prices having failed, they had to find a new way to lower the number of smokers. By waving the threat of passive smoking, they found a tool that really works: social pressure. In good faith, non-smokers felt in danger and started to stand up against smokers. As a result, passive smoking has become a public health problem, paving the way for the Evin Law and the decree banning smoking in public places. The cause may be good, but I do not think it is good to legislate on a lie. And the worst part is that it does not work: since the entry into force of the decree, cigarette sales are rising again.
Why not speak up earlier?
As a civil servant, dean of the largest medical faculty in France, I was held to confidentiality. If I had deviated from official positions, I would have had to pay the consequences. Today, I am a free man.
Le Parisien
Curious omission -
Anne Gilmour of the University of Bath Tobacco Control Research Group
Funding somewhat dependent on public fear of tobacco?
The theory of heart attacks being reduced by public smoking bans has been debunked in sufficiently rigorous research, so I am surprised that the Economist should report this press release without any attempt at analysis.
Study after study after study has found passive smoking to be effectively harmless, even to those "heavily" exposed at work (who have much lower exposures than spouses of smokers).
The research data is available to follow this up definitively, simply by following up the cohorts of subjects who have stopped smoking and statistically analysing the incidence of heart attacks in their spouses. It won't be done, because the results are somewhat predictable.
Approximately 6% of smokers get lung cancer as the result of smoking. To do so, they need to smoke an average of 2 packs a day for just under 50 years. Logically, it's just not a sensible hypothesis to suggest that passive smoking where less than 1/10,000th of the carcinogens are inhaled is going to increase non-smoker's risks by any measurable amount.
The evidence that heart attacks are caused by smoking is much less secure than that of lung cancer. If passive smoking reductions caused serious reductions in heart attacks, we would logically see a substantial difference in the number of heart attacks suffered by smokers than non-smokers. The evidence just doesn't show this.
If you want to void heart attacks, first choose your parents carefully, then eat healthily, drink moderately and exercise. Puffing less than 20 a day is unlikely to have any deleterious effects on your risk factors at all.
This is a thorough and complete debunking of Ann Gilmour's research:
When did science stop being a search for the truth? It's embarrassing that this woman is a professional academic - let's be honest about it, she isn't, she is a professional anti-tobacco lobbyist.
smoking over the last 60 years smoking has more than halved (UK 1948 66% of the population, 2009 22.5%) but asthma has risen by 300% (again in the UK). So smoking is not the primary cause of asthma and atopy, I assume the doctor's cars and industrial pollution. The inconvenient truth is that the only studies of children of smokers suggest it is PROTECTIVE in contracting atopy in the first place. The New Zealand study says by a staggering factor of 82%.
"Participants with atopic parents were also less likely to have positive SPTs between ages 13 and 32 years if they smoked themselves (OR=0.18), and this reduction in risk remained significant after adjusting for confounders.
The authors write: "We found that children who were exposed to parental smoking and those who took up cigarette smoking themselves had a lower incidence of atopy to a range of common inhaled allergens.
"These associations were found only in those with a parental history of asthma or hay fever."
They conclude: Our findings suggest that preventing allergic sensitization is not one of them."
This is a Swedish study.
"Children of mothers who smoked at least 15 cigarettes a day tended to have lower odds for suffering from allergic rhino-conjunctivitis, allergic asthma, atopic eczema and food allergy, compared to children of mothers who had never smoked (ORs 0.6-0.7)
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates an association between current exposure to tobacco smoke and a low risk for atopic disorders in smokers themselves and a similar tendency in their children."

Thanks for paying all those taxes...
Then again, if you offer to buy our drinks or dinner maybe we should let you light up?
If it were one of those "evil" profit maximising corporations that were fouling the air like the smokers do, you can bet that especially the tobacco addled hipsters would be at the front of the protests to stop the environmental catastrophe.
Like JS Mill says, please be my guest, knock yourselves out, go kill yourselves if you wish. Be free to poison yourselves with whatever you choose to ingest, inject, imbibe, or inhale.
Indeed I don't even mind if you smoke in my presnce - just don't exhale. Keep your poison to yourselves don't spit it all over me.
As much as I would enjoy it, I don't feel entitled to spit some good ol' Buckfast all over you noxious smokers . Lord knows it would be much less harmful than your second hand poison.

Over 100 people were arrested on Sunday (Sept. 21) in a house church raid in China's Guangdong Province.
Over 100 people were arrested on Sunday (Sept. 21) in a house church raid in China's Guangdong Province.
Three pastors in Iran are facing charges that could lead to the death penalty for activities in the house-church movement in an unprecedented crackdown on converts from Islam.
A home in Saudi Arabia was raided by authorities last Friday; authorities arrested 27 people in the house, accusing them of practicing Christianity.
House churches in China are growing and spreading in some areas, according to reports.
Four Iranian Christians jailed for attending a "house church" have lost their judicial appeals.
A recent spate of attacks against Christians and house churches in China underlines the country's relentless habit of persecuting Christians, even at the cost of its own reputation in the international community.
Local police broke up the worship service of a house church and arrested its pastor in China's Xinjiang region for the second time earlier this month as pastors at Beijing Shouwang Church remained under house arrest.
Five Iranian Christian converts who were detained late last year will reportedly begin trial in Iran's Revolutionary Court this week, according to a human rights group following the case.
China's Christians felt a noticeable rise in persecution in 2012 as the Communist government began the first of a three-phase plan to eradicate unregistered house churches.
American Christian pastor Saeed Abedini, imprisoned in Iran on charges of evangelizing, was sentenced this morning to eight years in prison.

How come? Why did it happen? Simple. I fell in love with you guys the day I got my first comment, because I never thought I would actually get one, nor the many I have actually gotten.With the feedback, I have also been able to reach out and form a community of online friends, whose posts I also read and enjoy very much. To all my friends, my community within the bigger community of Pulse Wire, I want to let know how honored I am that you have accepted me as your friend, and actually have taken the time to get to know me better.
For this reason I made a promise to myself to respond to every comment you make on my entries, even if it takes some time. I have made no entries to PulseWire lately because I was busy learning about you by reading your posts. I want you to know that reading what you have to say gives more meaning to my everyday noise.

Bayern Munich face the litmus test in their bid to become the first German team to win the treble of European, league and cup titles when they host Spanish giants Barcelona in Tuesday's Champions League semi-final, first-leg.
Having swept aside all rivals to win this season's Bundesliga title, Bayern are bidding to reach their third Champions League final in four years, but Spanish champions-elect Barcelona block their path to Wembley.
Arsenal have proved Bayern are far from unbeatable in Munich with a 2-0 win as the Gunners lost the last 16 tie on away goals after the Germans' 3-1 victory in London, but the hosts have belief in abundance.
But Barcelona will be a significant step up from what Bayern have faced recently in the German league.
Star midfielder Lionel Messi has not played since coming of the bench in the second-leg of Barca's quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain on April 10, but is expected to start against Bayern.
Barcelona travel to Munich in the unusual position of not being overwhelming favourites and midfielder Xavi said he expects a battle royal in Bavaria. But Bayern coach Jupp Heynckes knows his side can ill-afford to focus on Barcelona's individual players and need a good result in Munich before the return leg in Spain on May 1.AFP

from the effort to compare and evaluate, then the information available to those who must choose among curricula is diminished. Thousands of schools and teachers must then bear a much heavier burden of information collection.
A comprehensive evaluation process that does not rank-order curricula, but rather evaluates them on an array of relevant features is recommended. A sample of such features taken from this volume includes the extent to which the curriculum draws out preconceptions; whether it includes embedded assessment (both formative and summative), the extent to which it places information in the relevant conceptual framework, the extent to which curriculum modules can be reconfigured in ways that allow teachers to meet particular goals and needs, and the extent to which it encourages the development of metacognitive skills. Other useful information on the curriculum would include the extent and results of field-testing, the length of time it has been in use, the number of schools or school districts that have adopted it, the opportunities for teacher learning, and the amount and kind of support available to teachers using the curriculum. Information on student response to and interest in the curriculum would be useful as well.
Evaluating curricula in terms of their relevant features that align with the principles in this volume is a massive undertaking. For its ultimate success, such evaluations will need to represent expert judgments coming from different perspectives, including the subject-matter discipline, master teachers, learning and pedagogy experts, and curriculum developers. Users of an interactive communications site that publishes these judgments can then weigh the expertise they consider most useful for guiding their choice of curricula. The site should invite their feedback on experiences with using the curricula that this information led them to select. Ideally, the communications site will make it easy for teachers to access information that is directly relevant to their particular goals and needs.
Success will also require a growing group of constituencies and experts who can carry forward the principles in this volume to evaluating curricula.
The research and development proposed in this section is designed, once again, to achieve three goals: (a) to look first at existing practice through the lens of this volume, (b) to advance understanding in ways that would facilitate alignment of teacher preparation with principles of learning, and (c) to make the findings of this research more widely accessible and easily understood. The recommended research is described in seven project areas.

Ted Siefer's City Hall: Not funding severance pay unwelcome news to department heads
Not surprisingly, the mayor's critics were dubious, and a few weeks ago the aldermen voted to send a questionnaire to department heads to get their own answers concerning the departments' budgetary needs. Of particular concern was the fact that, unbeknownst to the departments, the mayor's budget left severance unfunded.
Last week, the answers came in, and they confirmed that, yes, some of the department chiefs are freaking out.
The common refrain was that absorbing severance would force the departments to keep positions vacant for months, if not indefinitely, and this would lead to reductions in service.
"Absorbing severance will have a significant impact on our budget," wrote Fire Chief James Burkush in his response to the questionnaire.
According to City Clerk Matt Normand, the unfunded severance line could mean that he would be unable to fill two anticipated retirements. "Losing two employees in a small department with an existing vacancy is devastating," wrote the typically mild-mannered Normand.
The heads of the police, public works and planning departments expressed similar concerns.
News that severance would be unfunded in the mayor's budget was especially unwelcome since the past year has seen a surge in retirements, thanks to a buyout incentive that will remain in effect next year.
At Tuesday's Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting, Alderman at-large Dan O'Neil said he was "very concerned" the buyouts weren't resulting in the anticipated reduction in salaries, in theory by getting highly paid veteran employees off the payroll.
"I thought we were going to be seeing savings in the salary line with the buyouts, but that, in fact, is not playing out," O'Neil said.
Gatsas has always maintained the tax cap forced him to make difficult choices.
"It was either fund severance or lay people off," he said.
He noted he supports putting the projected surplus this year toward severance and that other funds could be made available. "If we, as a city, can't find $500,000 to $600,000 - less than half a percent of a $138 million budget - we're doing something wrong," he said.
Of course, those critics of the mayor are already eyeing any surplus this year for the school district.
Among the dire responses to the aldermen's questionnaire, one stands out: that from the Welfare Department.
Yes, Welfare Commissioner Paul Martineau noted that his budget continues to be cut - it's down $458,000 since 2003. But, he wrote, "We can operate within the proposed budget."
Thanks in part to a state Supreme Court ruling against the agency last year, finding that it was overly punitive in denying assistance, the Welfare Department has come in for more scrutiny than it has in years. One revelation was that as the department's budget was cut, the amount it paid in assistance declined from the bulk of its budget to less than half. The largest share of the budget now goes to salaries, including Martineau's $113,000, and he's due for another raise.
Unlike the other aggrieved department heads, Martineau again emphasized the efficiency of his office. "My staff has returned savings in excess of $2,000,000 (since 2003), and we are ever watchful to implement savings where possible," he wrote.
Last week, Christopher Micklovich and his infamously bloodied mug were back in the news. We learned the city last May had quietly paid a $200,000 settlement to the man who suffered a beating at the hands off-duty city police officers at the Strange Brew Tavern in 2010.
The news was especially surprising to Alderman at-large Joe Kelly Levasseur. He's a member of the Committee on Human Resources, which typically deals with legal matters involving city departments.
"I understood that there were the parameters of a settlement," Levasseur said, but he didn't know that one had actually been paid.
And so, Levasseur made a motion to require the city clerk to send to the aldermen a copy of any settlement entered into by the city. "So we don't have to be learning about it in the Union Leader," he said.
Mayor Gatsas moved quickly to call for a vote on the measure - which was unanimous - but not before Levasseur pressed him on the matter.
"You didn't know about this?" he asked the mayor, referring to the Micklovich payment.
"No, I didn't know about it," Gatsas replied.
"And you weren't happy about it?"
"No, I wasn't one bit happy about it," he said.
Case closed?
On Monday, the three superintendent candidates will be in Manchester, and they'll be running the gauntlet. They'll meet with the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce, tour the schools and take questions from the public and school board members at a forum at Memorial High School at 7 p.m. The next day the Board of School Committee is expected to make its decision.
At Tuesday's meeting, the aldermen raised questions about the candidates. All three come from school districts that are significantly smaller than Manchester.
Alderman Bill Shea noted no candidate would be "perfect."
Except Gatsas? In response to Shea's comment, the mayor assured the board he's not after the superintendent job. "Don't worry, I will continue being mayor," he said, to laughs.
And, as outgoing superintendent Tom Brennan might attest, being mayor still guarantees Gatsas will have plenty to say about the direction of the school system, regardless of who gets tapped to be its next chief.

Europe's Wii U Virtual Console games look likely to run at 50hz, significantly slower than their US and Japanese equivalents.
The first retro title released on the console, Balloon Fight, is confirmed to run at the 50hz frequency, as opposed to the 60hz versions available in other regions.
During the 80s and 90s 50hz was standard in PAL regions, with many ports suffering from large borders and 17 per cent slower gameplay (Sonic the Hedgehog was particularly bad).
Balloon Fight was Wii U's first Virtual Console release last week, and as you can see in the video below (thanks Nintendomination) there's a significant difference in speed between the US and EU/AUS versions.
Currently the Balloon Fight Miiverse is filled with messages criticising Nintendo's decision to release the 50hz version - and fans have even started a petition calling for the platform holder to release future Wii U Virtual Console games in Europe and Australia in 60Hz.
Balloon Fight is the first in a series of celebratory Famicom 30th anniversary releases on Wii U, with each costing £0.30 for their first 30 days of availability.
With the full Wii U Virtual Console service not due to launch until spring, the creators of the petition feel there may still be time for Nintendo to switch to 60hz releases, as it has done on 3DS.
CVG has contacted Nintendo UK for comment.

Ohioans get bad rap from Kasich
Ohio GOP considers tax breaks for businesses despite $8B deficit, the Jan. 16 Vindicator reported
Gov. John Kasich in his inaugural address announced he hoped to restore economic security and add jobs. He would eliminate Ohio's personal income tax, privatize state functions from the Ohio Turnpike and prisons to liquor sales, and reform public pensions. Then, still wet behind the ears, he sets out to Detroit. We don't know what his agenda was, but on his return, he berates the citizens of Ohio with a litany of faults that he received from those whom he met.
As this tirade on us was via a television newscast, only the first item is remembered: "Ohioans have a bad attitude." His response was to return home with his tail between his legs, and repeat those blasphemies to us. It is these Ohio workers who produce the automobiles that give the Big Three executives their multi-million dollar salaries, bonuses, pensions and stock options, and our governor comes back and berates us with their invectives.
Ohio was, is and will continue to be a great state. It is the people that make a state what it is. We have a new breed of "robber barons" who would try to take this heritage away from us by degrading our efforts to produce the best product that can be made. We can hold our own in any endeavor that may come our way; we are ready. I believe that the governor owes all Ohio residents an apology.
Leonard J. Sainato, Warren
For all those who are complaining and who voted him in office, deal with it this is what you invited into our homes, a start to a bad relationship.
What is it about libs and lies? The Governor never said, "Ohioans have a bad attitude." To see the comments, refer to the attached link below.
The Governor's trip was to promote Ohio's business climate. The Big 3 rightfully told Kasich that Ohio was "'not competitive,' and "'not cooperative," and that Ohio "created a bad attitude and a bad impression." The Big 3 are right. They know that Ohio is unfriendly to business and is ranked 47th (!) in tax friendliness.
He wants to fix this. Kasich added, "It involves taxes, it involves regulations, it involves being able to respond to their concerns, it involves what you do with an EPA, it involves what you do with all types of regulation and job training."
I applaud the Governor's attempts to improve the business environment in Ohio, and his candor regarding the negative feedback these businesses gave him.
Q: How do you know when a lib is lying?
A; Their lips are moving.
Mr. Sainato must have been smokin those little cigarettes.
"The Big 3 are right. They know that Ohio is unfriendly to business and is ranked 47th (!) in tax friendliness"
An example:
It will be interesting to see what kind of reception he gets when he visits GM Lordstown on Tuesday.
The Cruze is a nice looking car, but UAW had absolutely ZERO to do with the design. Hyundai Elantra is better looking and better quality and not made by malcontent crybabies.
Give Kasich a chance, I merely relayed what the big 3 told him. He is doing way more than Stickaround and make Union buds Strickland ever has. If the UAW shows him disrespect then they deserve whatever Government Motors does..
What's really annoying and unethical in my opinion,is the Vindy even publishing this guy's letter. Not only is the title an eye catcher that is by all accounts wrong,but most of the letter is twisted and distorted. I'd like to know if anybody can write an opinion and get published if there's no truth or fact in it? About any subject?
I agree with Borylie.
This letter was lies and smear. The Vindy should not be a medium for spreading falsehoods and character attacks.
I applaude all those before me who read through those lies and smears and saw them for what they are. I also applaude the Vindicator for printing Mr. Sainato's letter, as it allows us the opportunity for rebuttals. Good job by all!
Obviously Mr. Sainto can't read or get his facts straight. This seems to be the norm for Democrats. Shoot from the lip and to hell with getting the facts straight. Kasich merely repeated what car executives said in Detroit. If you don't like what the leaders of the companies are saying, then fix it. Just remember, the Obamunist gave the UAW a 25% stake in GM and put a union goon on the board of directors. The bond holders who had a legal right to recoup their risks and investments were stripped of their money by the Marxist in Chief while forking over billions to the unions. It's truly pathetic.
I started to think about this last night, Mr. Sainto must actually be Dave Betras.
This is his cabinet- HIS CABINET
There are all the State Senators that represent and offer the diversity for everyone else.
Anything short of allowing our elected Governor is Racist from small minded people trying to take all of us backwards.
It looks like a lot here could not get or keep a job at GM so they cry like babies and call others lazy . .
Kasich has never named exactly who of the auto execs told him that the state was unfriendly to their industry, and when asked by the local union leaders who told him, he answered "All of them."
I do NOT believe his story. If he REALLY was told that, then why not name WHO told him? Ohio has numerous auto-related plants, including Lordstown, Toledo and Cleveland. If the state was so unfriendly, then WHY keep building cars here?

Is that one of the Walther/Umarex versions? Hope it works out well, let us know how it does. I have one of their Colt M4s that's been a lot of fun.
The biggest issue with assembling an AR isn't so much getting the parts together right - it's getting the right parts together. You'll remember the quality of a gun long after you forget how much you paid for it.
US Army 1966-69, VFW Life Member, Retired Geek
Yes, it is. I will find out Monday or Tuesday, whichever day I can get to the range!
Wow. NICE piece! I always love the look of a .22 1911. It's like being a kid again, but still kicking a*? wat did you pay for it?
Thanks! Got to try it out today...it was fun to shoot. This was my first time shooting a .22 (I usually shoot a .45), but I will be taking this to the range often for practice. It was around $400.
Oh I love .22s. They're Tons of fun at a fairly inexpensive price. I've shot a Ruger 22/45 with a red dot sight, and that thing was sweet! Tell me how she runs.
Glad to hear it worked out well. Do the controls all work pretty much the same as a 1911? If so, this might be a good alternative to a conversion kit.
That was my reasoning for getting the Walther/Umarex/Colt M4 .22, though some controls do work differently. For me it came down to having a separate rifle not a dedicated conversion kit and for about the same money. I also liked that it said Colt and M4. Same goes for yours, "Colt" and "Government Model".
Let us know how it does-
Been thinking about one-
BTW- I really feel for you guys that cant walk out your back door & shoot

One more question: is there any benefit in using amplifier with these headphones or is alc889 enough? They are 60 ohms.
- 2 Posts. Joined 3/2014

One more question: is there any benefit in using amplifier with these headphones or is alc889 enough? They are 60 ohms.
I bought a pair of Pro80 as gift for my wife in bundle with the X3, I'm surprised how they sound good. Then I bought a pair of 2050 fo me, really confortable headphones but they can't be compared. I heard they share drivers but honestly I prefer Pro80 as sound quality.
pro80 really is absolutely better than hi2050? In what requisites?
Will grado sr60i be an open hp compliment the takstar pro80? will i get clearer and more detailed mids even just slightly?
It's almost unanimous that the pro80 is the better headphone. so get the pro 80 if the budget allows.
Thanks massacre. If you can, can you recommend me an open headphone that has better mids resolution than pro80 that's below 100$? if you cant think of any, that's okay.
hi2050 earns only comfort?
A difference price which i found is 15$ (hi2050 60$ and pro 80 75$) compensates?
That's a good price, plus you'll get a case for the pro80 which is nice. again, if it fits your budget, get the pro80, because some of us say that it is the better sounding one. if you need that extra $15 for something else, then get the hi2050.

Well i dont know if sailors are cheap! It all depends what you sail and how you keep up your boat! If you have cash for all your HUCK instruments and want to show them off or if you just a BIG douche bag thinking the world owes you everything or just a Complete A S S Hole on a boat! Yes we are different types of boaters some have to sail out of there slips some motor all the way to the end of a bay then put sails up! SO yes some motor boaters just dont like us! here is a short story, me and my wife will help at a community care connection for handicap people they had SAILDAY once a year for these people. SO i would be deck hand and the local sailing club sailors would donate ther time and boats to take people out! well note none of these boats are NEW nothing wrong with that either! This one dude pulls up in a Catalina 30 he maybe was coming in .3 knts not even a knot real slowwww i grab his LIFELINE he yells DON'T grab that you will rip it off! A total A S S hole so my first thoughts were to start something but i am bigger then that so i let his boat go and walked away !!
to me he is cheap or just old and grumpy and thinks he owns a supper yacht!
