It is not managed by iFixit staff. Improve this guide by completing or revising its introduction. Free the top by unscrewing the 2 screws in the front shiny cupwarmer section and the 2 screws in the plastic part in the back. Carefully take off the top to reveal the inside of the Gaggia. Be sure to unplug the power cord before working on your Old White Coffee Gaggia!! https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/JH2vrogNwQqWqGeS https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/lF1y1mlYRwmYsKZ4 https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/BxgpE5NtG5rDNUCU Label the connectors on the top connecting the wires to the switch assembly with a marker or ball pen. This way you'll be able to put them in the right place when reassembling your device. Gently pull the labeled connectors of the switch assembly. Continue with second row. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/fCso2VMRjtX6JjZ6 https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/bPDeEZN42AqJpTeF https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/HMkNJYMFvK5XrS6Q Pull the last two connectors off the switch assembly. The switch assembly is held in place by two clamps on its sides that have to be pushed in. Gently pull/push the switch assembly to the front to release it from the case. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/hLYhomSkWx2godJw https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/O4TGqxTiBbPNV1Ac https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/RWA5qyX3BlqstKBK Label and pull off the connectors to the warning light just right where the switches used to be. There is one upper and one lower, divided by a plastic tab. Next, unscrew the tab securing the grounding wire and the water hose to the top of the boiler. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/mcKYqHaNkCmYjNKV https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/PVUiYDBBNmQKhlDt https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/4ANYSVYhoWy3bjw1 Free the tab with the grounding wire. Next up is the two connectors that go into the blue (thermostate?) on the top of the boiler. Label and gently pull off the first... https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/iOodPaAuUuVjSqIl https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/veBYKbKD4dWInyFg https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/2gLjYCAuIXwTgesA ...and the second connector. Next thing to pull off is the connecor that connects the red wire to the the duct that protrudes outward of the boiler. (The heating element) Remember to label every connector you take off to remember where it goes. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/pXPJMVE2txGjMCQe https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/CJAtd6tDuEOLeeop https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/kgmNGOa66q6kyAHV At the magnetic valve next to the big round boiler, there are two more connectors to label and pull off. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/nhUAGK6cIICDp5aX https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/XdYVmlO5y41ZVa1E https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/yCTZR6YUF1xkIUYb Still not done with labelling and pulling off connectors, this time at the back of the boiler. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/IUqSYCnAcdIMm1l6 https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/agH26kYW1oWJrfnO https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/fmiPQp6LUSchhkaM Left of the boiler and a little hard to reach sits connector no. 19 (if you followed my labelling method) once again on a ducty thing. Right next to it, you can see the Over Pressure Valve Assembly (with the black hose coming out of the top) https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/tQToj3vZmaEG5NgI https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/DrGfZRtuoVdFiV2D Here you see the water intake hose, sucking water from out of the water tank and delivering it to the water pump. The hose connects to the pump at its bottom side, so you can't quite see it. The hose is secured to a black plastic piece in the bottom of the case by a metal clip that can be loosened with pliers. Take off the hose and be careful not to lose the metal clip! You can't take off both endings yet as the end that goes into the pump is still hidden! https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/JWpXtxPrsOYInwu4 https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/t2MjxGu4KkX1C1Ym Very dirty but functional, this is where the power cable is connected to all the wires we just freed. You will only need to take out the cables on the right (bottom side on the picture), starting with the 3 from the power cable. (ground, brown and blue) Unscrewing the whole luster terminal can make your life easier here. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/miwUvY2FgYXaBV2v https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/N5mpfiA5JpaRJWLZ https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/VxBEwHNBaCJHYwUO Next, remove the two white cables (distinguishable by the one having an extra luster terminal)... ...and the grounding wire that go to the water pump. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/qepWG1mVZ2YHJK3S https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/HSCECKjYDk1QUkvI https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/PBKwwZJb5cVcFZ4D You can now carefully pull the whole wiring out of the machine. Mind any cables that still might be connected or stuck! https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/KUgBpMhZqvifTA4C Next, we will take the black water hose, that connects the Over Pressure Valve to the water tank, off. Pinch the clip holding the hose in place together to release it https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/kWtH2OZrAFuor4jZ https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/MiMMsIwbXVsZdhCN https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/mvhoPYoDlIQkAuHk Label the hoses as well as they have different lengths! Proceed with the 2nd black hose that goes from the magnetic valve to the water outlet in the front. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/IJhHrK4YCEdcbYgp https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/M64NxoeIIuVC1SMm https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/AKngQVaXtUOf5ZLY With all silicone hoses disconnected, proceed by unscrewing the fitting that connects the steam lance to the steam valve. Take the steam lance out through the top. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/ZNpuIZMHRelxtR4r https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/hMjpPAsmtUq6vmOD At the top of the water pump, there is a high pressure teflon hose that needs to be unscrewed in order to free the pump. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/X5KqllutNBndbKPK https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/TZLU4QPQ2os2s4qV The steam valve is connected to the top of the boiler by a conducto pipe. Unscrew both endings and take the duct off. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/tpsyCO2X1a2biLXF https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/yUEQShoKmAPHvANI https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/dWOPEhxWd3ZMxbbU Unscrew the nut securing the steam valve assembly to the top of the boiler. You can just pull the steam assembly out of the way for now. If you have the fitting Allen key, you can also take out the steam assembly by taking off the black knob and pulling the assembly out to the back. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/l5WdQTtcoobqMMmr https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/AasknnPqUboxOEXt https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/xyj4WAxb62ol5HJI The vibratory water pump sits on a rubber fitting. Unscrew both screws to free the pump. Take out the whole pump/fitting assemby. Unfortunately, the black rubber thing on the bottom of the pump originally connecting to the high pressure teflon hose is broken, be careful with this piece as there may not be a replacement! https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/NAQEutLTxuRqKSPc https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/gpeCNDyL2wtfxWOK https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/ymuAof6cIAfOnE3I Let's have a look at the portafilter holder and the screen at the front of your machine. As you can see, mine has its share of rust and gross dirt. Unscrew the single screw in the middle of the screen. The screen might be held in place by dirt and coffee of decades past. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/3onNeyWpfZSqgeHN https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/sAuqftCANL3RHBPU https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/HWqIjV3H4NN2qjLF Ewwwww... I managed to take the screen off by jiggling a little on it with a screwdriver. There are 4 screws holding the outer ring in place, unscrew those and the outer ring should come free. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/k2Ot3D4WrTBAuFeG https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/EvJUqEiPyDSOspAP https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/cbYEAX6IWx6KbQbv With the outer ring/portafilter holder off, 2 more screws are uncovered. Unscrew those. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/TOukVoUwXOdS4cyW https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/bTA5TFVZcTQflH3J https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/NGBhWMQdxFUhw1YN There still is a black rubber gasket that needs to be taken off. Not sure if those are still for sale, so check if you might use this gasket again. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/ag33d31NfPcEfF3Q https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/rN5NcAFqEIMnwmvB https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/DZW2tCnrWyGwiOQw Return to the inside of the machine and unscrew the 4 screws at the top of the boiler. Be careful not to strip the screws!! Gently pull the top of the boiler off. Prepare to be grossed out. Somewhere below the white/brownish stuff in the 3rd picture there is a black gasket hiding. Can you find it? https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/NXdFCMKrxta6GRPL https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/wfdj3WCkCgy2DVk1 https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/MKU2lYDXCaSHOPAm Take out the bottom part of the boiler. Looks very empty now. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/M5Am1tJfaIO5sGFv https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/WjRZ1KbZyFEZWxK5 You can further disassemble the lower part of the boiler. Unscrew the nut holding the magnetic valve in place, and pull all parts off. Unscrew the 4 screws at the bottom of the valve assemby and it is free. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/pjfWbbphfCsDLHLr https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/TwTe1wJvkhUoIPm3 https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/3Wbksf6nw2VXDTBY The Over Pressure Valve can also be unscrewed and taken apart. Unscrew the thing holding the screw in place. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/sSIvb1kKFBRbEaAP https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/DWYIhuR6nkTADBKv https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/mQ1ZgJEgN2UYdmwm The power cable can be pulled out if you turn the plastic nut a little bit. Close-Up of the pump, Ulka H53. I hope I can get a replacement for the rubber thing that went here... https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/quF2uGSIpy1BNKpv https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/oa4h4uVfCpwbieVZ https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/GkucCQGAkumuE6Vg 2013-12-19T04:22:34-07:00

Paul Doyle, the CEO of Columbia City Cinema on Rainier Avenue South, had what he thought was a brilliant idea to save his cash-starved movie house from being shut down at the end of the year. All he had to do was sell shares of stock in the company and raise a bunch of money, then, when things were going good again, folks would get their investments back. It's the American way! Unfortunately, he's now learned that the selling of securities is a closely regulated transaction with rather strict and complicated rules. You can't just start up a Facebook page, talk to the media, and start collecting cash.
Per the Washington State DFI:
Columbia City Cinema, Inc. began the process to register its stock for sale to the public but did not complete that process. The Securities Division alleges that the registration statement filed on behalf of Columbia City Cinema, Inc., for an offering of $450,000 worth of the company's common stock, is incomplete in a material respect or contains statements which are false or misleading...
Doyle talked to Seattle Weekly today, saying he "didn't know we'd be taken so literally" when he advertised the stock offering and that he felt the DFI should have walked him through the process better.
"I was astonished at the DFI's response," he says. "You'd think they'd be interested in helping you. Instead, they saw the mistakes I was making, then waited until I accumulated enough, then they sprang this on us."
Perhaps, but Doyle likely would have benefited in waiting until after he worked out his rookie kinks with the state agency before he "went public" with a stock offering.
Doyle also says that he "wasn't intending to sell stock" until after it was fully registered. This despite a Facebook page set up in mid-November saying this:
We're serious. Starting Friday, November 19, we have 43 days until December 31 to sell 50,000 shares of stock or we're gone after a six and a half year run.. We need to sell about a thousand shares a day. We've made a good start but we have a ways to go. So think about us this Thanksgiving. We can't imagine not making our initial goal, but you get your money back if we don't.
So while we understand the inclination to want to use stock sales as a means of creating a quick influx of capital, it's not really something that can be done in a one-and-a-half-month time frame. And it's apparently not something that can be done while the paperwork is pending.
That kind of quick-hit fund raising is traditionally accomplished via bake sale and/or bikini car wash.

STAND-TO! Edition: Tuesday May 6, 2014
Today's Focus:
Travel Risk Planning System
What is it?
The Travel Risk Planning System, commonly known as TRiPS, is an online, automated risk assessment tool developed to help commanders and leaders mitigate risk and reduce fatalities among personnel driving a private motor vehicle or motorcycle outside their local area.
What has the Army done?
Army Regulation 385-10, The Army Safety Program, requires that Soldiers complete a TRiPS assessment when traveling outside their local area on leave, pass, during a permanent change of station or on official travel. Department of the Army Civilians are required to complete an assessment prior to official travel or Permanent Change of Station (PCS).
Through TRiPS, users respond to a series of standard questions based on their vehicle type and other travel data. The system then calculates risk levels and presents the user with actual reports from accidents that occurred under similar circumstances, followed by possible mitigation strategies. A final risk calculation is performed according to selected mitigation measures, and the user is presented with supplemental materials including driving directions and a map to his or her destination. The assessment and a partially completed leave form are then submitted to the user's supervisor for approval.
What continued efforts does the Army have planned for the future?
The U.S. Army Combat Readiness/Safety Center released a significant upgrade to TRiPS in early May 2014. New features include:
- -- User load capability
- -- Department of Army/Department of Defense security compliance
- -- Update and edit accident summaries
- -- Re-designate organization for Joint Service environment
- -- Road construction, weather and hazard notification
- -- Mapping upgrade with support service interface
- -- Multi-leg, round-trip and one-way travel
- -- Recreational vehicle and trailer towing planner
- -- Improved user email compatibility
- -- Additional TRiPS reports
- -- Assessment completion time
- -- Smartphone applications (coming soon)
Why is this important to the Army?
During fiscal 2013, only eight percent of active duty Army Private Motor Vehicle (POV) fatalities, occurring more than 150 miles from home installation, happened during TRiPS-assessed travel. Since its inception, Soldiers have completed more than 10 million TRiPS assessments, which is instrumental in reducing fatalities.
All branches of the U.S. armed forces have adopted TRiPS, recognizing its ability to promote engagement between leaders and subordinates regarding driving safety. This interaction is vital in saving lives and preventing needless accidents wherever the Army operates.

Last July, I filed for public office to protest Washington State's new election law (generally known as the "top-two primary system"). Even though I'm the chair of my County's Democratic Party, and I have many friends in the Republican Party, the stunt wasn't about those two organizations, per se. My point is the law infringes upon the fundamental right to free association.
Krist Novoselic column runs every Tuesday on the Daily Weekly. Follow him on Twitter @KristNovoselic.
Libertarians, Democrats, and Republicans have been challenging this election law since 2005. (Voters approved the top-two measure, Initiative 872, the prior year.) The State of Washington and the Washington Grange filed a motion to dismiss the most recent legal challenge, but in a Federal District Court ruling last week, Judge John Coughenour denied the motions. The court may now examine evidence of voter confusion and any resulting harm to our right of freedom of association.
The plaintiffs listed above will now have to give examples, as I did in this column last year, about how the top-two system hurts free association. And however the District Court rules, you can bet on appeals all the way back to the U.S. Supreme Court (where the state law has already withstood one challenge).
Another thing you can bet on is that most people don't understand the merits of the latest court challenge. I found this out during my short-lived candidacy a few months back. People asked me about my protest, and I'd find myself explaining basic concepts on how the right of free association is derived from the First Amendment of the constitution and why it's important. Most people come around and agree, but some can't get past the antiquated notions of party members as "hacks" or "party bosses."
Instead of going over the ruling and constitutional law--a subject where I'm no authority--I want to take this occasion to remember a Democratic Party activist who recently passed away. Her very admirable life is an example of why I keep harping on this issue.DiAnne Knudsen, who died at age 63 last March, was the treasurer of our county Democratic Party. Even though she struggled with illness, DiAnne did a great job keeping our financial records straight. She was active her entire life in a party that spoke to her passionate beliefs. She lived in a house on the mini-storage facility she operated in Cathlamet, Washington. At election time, the fence around the facility would be covered with signs for Democratic candidates. (She probably lost business from Republicans!)
So here's the point--DiAnne couldn't give thousands of dollars in campaign contributions. She couldn't give tens of thousands of dollars to PACs, or 527s ; she couldn't spend money on independent expenditures or hire lobbyists to work in Olympia or D.C.. What she did do was group with like-minded people so she could amplify her voice in the political arena by nominating a candidate to stand for election.
With the top-two system, as it currently stands, the State has now taken control of a private group's name and, on a public ballot, given it away to anyone who wants it - effectively muting the solitary voice of people like the late DiAnne Knudsen.
Voters originally passed the top-two because they hated exclusive, pick-a-party primary ballots. Since then, most people haven't given the new election law and the legal trouble it's in much thought. Voters just want more choices. A simple way settle the court hassles, while preserving the wide-open choices in the primary, is to drop the "prefers party" business and instead have authentic party candidates on the ballot. And if you think those party candidates are hacks, don't vote for them. Under such a primary scheme, as I propose, you could vote for whomever you like. There are other ways, without the legal problems, to do elections also.
I know that the Democrats and Republicans, by virtue of their political fundraising, control the system. There's good reason people like seeing those big, bad parties, get squeezed. But let's not throw out the baby with the bathwater. We need more street-level association, not less. The court is right in giving the current form of the top-two another look.

Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn and anyone else who opposes the deep-bore tunnel project for SR 99 likely got plenty of new ammunition for their fight from reading a new, in-depth article by the Lower Hudson Journal News on Monday. The story concerns California contracting giant Tutor Perini, one of the winning bidders to construct the controversial tunnel, and it details what seems to be a long history of cost overruns, alleged fraud, lawsuits and payouts in the company's past.
Last week, Gov. Chris Gregoire awarded the $1.09 billion contact to build the tunnel to Spanish company Dragados-USA and Tutor Perini.
Some highlights pointed out by the story are that:
• In February, Tutor-Saliba and Perini agreed to pay $19 million to settle racketeering and fraud allegations in a San Francisco airport project.
• In 2004, Perini agreed to pay the federal government $998,500 to settle fraud claims in the construction of an embassy building in Venezuela.
• The companies are embroiled in an 11-year legal battle over $16 million in extra costs on a Los Angeles subway job.
• Perini sued for more than $170 million in cost overruns on three New York City projects during the 1990s before settling for about $22 million.
Seattle Weekly checked with tunnel project manager Ron Paananen at the Washington State Department of Transportation as to whether he'd seen the article (he hadn't) and whether he's comfortable with Tutor Perini's performance history (he is). He urged people not to concentrate on a few projects that went "maybe not so well" and instead focus on the company's overall performance, which he insists is impeccable.
"We pre-qualified both the teams (that won the tunnel contract) and we looked at the companies' financial capacity, their history with other projects of this size and the key personnel that they would bring on-board," says Paananen. "Both these teams have delivered thousands of projects, so you shouldn't look at a couple individual projects that either went real well or maybe not so well. I think there is a longer story here."
Probably. And we're guessing that Paananen, as well as Gov. Chris Gregoire and the other tunnel backers, are hoping that the story doesn't include even more examples of shady business practices or grave budget miscalculations.

I want to use a Samsung Fascinate (model SCH-I500) in WiFi only mode for development and testing purposes. The device has been factory reset and boots to the Verizon activation screen. How do I bypass activation? Do I need to root the device?
After doing some additional research I finally came across a YouTube video on how to bypass a Samsung Galaxy S Continuum activation screen. The steps outlined in the video are very simple:
Install a stock or a custom ROM that best fits your need from, e.g., Samobile or xda. This way you can select the android version and its flavor.

The Pittsburgh Pirates have promoted starting pitcher Gerrit Cole to the team's AA affiliate in Altoona. Technically, the promotion won't occur until Wednesday when he's scheduled to start for the Indians.
The Pirates took the righty with the top overall selection in the 2011 MLB Draft
The 22-year-old threw five shutout innings last night for High-A Bradenton, striking out seven batters and walking just one. The outing lowered the Florida State League All-Star's ERA to 2.55, with 69 strikeouts in 67 innings.
Before the season, some – myself included – consider(ed) Cole the team's second-best prospect, behind fellow starter Jameson Taillon, also an FSL All-Star.
The Pirates took the 20-year-old Taillon with the second overall pick in the 2010 MLB Draft, immediately behind outfield phenom Bryce Harper.
Many believed Taillon would move through the system at least as quickly as Cole, but he's hit a snag as of late.
In Taillon's first seven starts with Bradenton, he had a 1.47 ERA and 36 strikeouts in as many innings. Over his last six starts, though, the 6'7″ fireballer has allowed 28 earned runs and struck out just 26 batters.
Tim Williams at Pirates Prospects has a good read about Taillon's current struggles and why they might be happening.
While Taillon tries to sort out his current problems in Bradenton, let's hope Gerrit Cole and his power stuff takes well to Double-A opposition.
Williams' current projections for MLB ETA are mid-2013 for Cole and late 2013 for Taillon.

Community gathers to pack boxes for deployed troops
September 10, 2012
By Al Macks, Presidio of Monterey Public Affairs
Related Links
PRESIDIO OF MONTEREY, Calif. -- Service members from the Presidio of Monterey stepped forward along with other volunteers from local communities to organize care packages for Soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and coast guardsmen stationed overseas as part of Operation Care and Comfort's Monterey chapter at the Community Church of the Monterey Peninsula Aug. 23.
What started as a few women in someone's living room has grown to 40-plus people from all over the Central Coast sorting, stuffing and wrapping care packages for U.S. military personnel away from home, said Joan Bizzozero, founder of Operation Yellow Ribbon-Monterey, the predecessor to Operation Care and Comfort-Monterey.
Bizzozero said the Monterey chapter currently ships about 500 packages two to three times a year to troops.
She said that each shipment they send is a "morale boost to the service members" and that it still "gets her every time."
"Usually I get teary and I am very grateful," she said explaining how she feels about the tremendous community support. "A lot of help. A lot of people. … [A lot of] support."
She said that Operation Care and Comfort, which is an all volunteer nonprofit organization that was founded in 2003, is based in San Jose and does more than care packages.
The San Jose organization also runs a programs called "Tickets for Troops" which, annually, provides more than 25,000 free tickets for troops, veterans and their families to sports and entertainment events, and runs "adopt a military family," which provides individuals, organizations and companies the ability to anonymously adopt hundreds of military families and veterans throughout the United States at Christmas and throughout the year.
Presidio of Monterey Garrison Commander Col. Joel J. Clark said that local service members provide thousands of hours to the communities each year. "This is just one of the many things we do. We get involved as much as we can, time permitting, and this is a part of the volunteer hours that service members from the Presidio give back to the community."
Airman 1st Class Courtney Jefferson said this program is one that "hits very close to home because, having just come from basic training, I know how important it is to be shown that someone cares about you when you have very little. We really appreciate the organization and the people who are making this possible."
Airman 1st Class Bryan Gomez said that working with Operation Care and Comfort "really shows me as an airman how much our community honestly thinks about us. Our military does great things each and every day, and seeing motivation like this in a new friendly environment really is the fuel that keeps us going."
He said that the military has "really shown me how to appreciate the little things in life, and that is why this organization is something I feel strongly about and our troops really appreciate."
Bizzozero said that since 2003, Operation Care and Comfort has shipped about 450 tons of care packages to deployed troops and 300 tons of items for "Adopt a Military Family" to bases across the country.

What are the Army IH Competencies?
The IH career program, as well as positions of leadership and management within the series, require specific levels of competency in job performance.
Generally, competencies may be acquired through many sources, such as on-the-job training, Army Public Health Center courses, AMEDD Center and School courses, correspondence courses, collaborative distance learning, prior training or education, or self-development activities.
After careful review of IH core competencies set for other organizations including AIHA and ABIH, Army IH competencies were aligned with core competencies already established with the addition of new Army specific core competencies.
All APHC IH courses are aligned with an Army IH Core Competency and given within each IH course. The Army IH self-development opportunities will better prepare IH staff for ABIH credentialing.
Currently, Army IHs are required to demonstrate a minimum level of knowledge in the following competencies:
You will find the Army IH competencies align with the courses indicated in the ACTEDs and support these competencies.
Aligning the Army IH competencies with the AIHA/ABIH strategy will provide integrity and well trained professionals in the 690 and 640 series.

Is it a stereotype or misconception that no happily married financially stable woman would terminate a pregnancy?
Do pro choicers want to reduce the abortion rate?
^Is that a real and serious question?
Let's evolve, let the chips fall where they may.
DS-Trey-12/5/04 DD-Juliya-8/5/11
----Most do, just by reducing the situations that result in abortions rather than criminalizing them.
"Belief is not a substitute for arithmetic" -- Henry Spencer
Mind your own vagina, thanks. -ThisCharmingMaman
Abortion, if if it is the right choice for that woman, is still often difficult physically and emotionally. Prevention will always be the easier less problematic option.
Pro choice does not mean pro abortion.
It just means that I believe a woman, a human being with thought feelings and struggles of her own, should be allowed the final say in what goes on inside or to her own body. Because she knows best what is right for HER.
Give women access to birth control and education, plus reproductive health care.
And when an unwanted pregnancy does occur, the ability to safely terminate.
Mind your own vagina, thanks. -ThisCharmingMaman
She has savings, a home, and room for a carseat in her minivan but doesnt WANT a baby?
You know that it doesn't stay a baby, right? She doesn't want to raise another whole human being to adulthood. Maybe she's exhausted and ready to get her groove back now that her youngest is out of diapers. Maybe her other children have special needs and she's not emotionally or financially able to handle another one who might have the same condition. Maybe she's got a career that she's trying to get off the ground, and every time she has another baby it pushes her back to square one with regards to both money and mental energy to devote to self-promotion and creativity. Maybe she's going back to school. Maybe instead of a minivan she's driving a PT Cruiser that's already too small for the kids she has and there's a weird noise in the engine that her Dh thinks is a bad sensor but she feels might possibly be the transmission getting ready to fall out into the street, and her oldest has ANOTHER abscess that she has to cough up 50 bucks to have drained and said oldest is on augmentin which is The Debbil of antibiotics and she's praying that Oldest doesn't develop a yeast infection because she's at that embarrassed-teen stage and wouldn't tell her, so she's buying lots of yogurt and hoping for the best, and in the meantime her youngest is STILL WETTING THE DAMN BED!
No I can totally see why a happily married woman would seek an abortion. Absofreakinglutely.
Free reading material.
May I ask why you terminated? Were you married."
No, not married. It's a rather complicated story, but ultimately it had to do with my being 19 at the time, a high school drop out with no job, I was suicidal and I was doing a lot of hard drugs at the time. Ultimately I'm happy because had I not gone through that I would not have my amazing 18 month old.
Thank you for answering.
Yes married women want to terminate and I think the stereotype is BS.
If that is your real life get some probiotic juice. I got some in the health food section of my grocery, mango and it's really good. I have to be on antibiotics for 2 months for MRSA and it's what my dr suggested to avoid yeast infections.
(Sorry for the slight derail, carry on)
Everything we ever did we did with the best of intentions, but events tumbled and the years pile up, the world is very bewildering to a junkie. -Dan
I know married women with the means to provide for a child that terminated, so I never make the assumption that it is a pre marital sex issue.

J.P. Morgan Awarded Ex-Im Bank Lender Of The Year
$291 Million in FY'12 WASHINGTON, April 4, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- J.P. Morgan received the Lender of the Year award from the Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank). The award was presented at the Bank's 38th Annual Conference in Washington, D.C.(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110414/MM83673LOGO) J.P.

Matador Resources Company (
) provided an update on various aspects of its operations.
Matador released a summary of the various 24-hour Initial
Potential (
) tests for the Eagle Ford wells it has drilled since the beginning
of its drilling program in the Eagle Ford play for which it has
filed, or will be soon filing, IP test results with the Texas
Railroad Commission.
Matador has begun flowing back wells on smaller chokes after
stimulation than it did initially, which appears to provide better
bottomhole pressure management, keeps the wells flowing longer
before requiring artificial lift and may improve their long-term
performance. The company expects to continue using smaller chokes
following stimulation going forward, which may result in lower flow
rates and higher flowing pressures on IP tests in comparison to
similar tests on earlier wells.
In addition, IP data points should not be used alone to make an
investment decision, but these points are provided in an effort to
show the overall results of our Eagle Ford drilling program since
inception. As to future releases, Matador does not expect to
release IP data as each well is drilled but rather once or twice a
year to try to provide information and perspective about its
overall drilling program.
Matador also announced that its partner in the Gracie Prospect
has agreed to fund 100% of the next $9 million (approximately) of
additional exploration and leasehold renewal expenses, in order to
acquire 50% of the interest in this prospect, including paying
these monies toward a horizontal test of the Meade Peak shale that
is scheduled to be drilled later this year in Southwest

I got stuck behind some crazy fixie kid on my way in to work today. He was fairly fit and a good rider strengthwise, but pretty damn brainless. Massive skids across multiple lanes every time he had to adjust his speed even slightly, randomly cutting across traffic whenever he felt like and a complete inability to choose a good line through traffic. Basically he was riding real hard, but instead of finding a flow he would skid real hard each time traffic got a bit dense in front of him.
All this with bars barely as wide as his grips. I't took me 4 blocks to pass him safely, and then a couple blocks later he was in front of me again. It was actually pretty damn scary to be behind him.
At a certain point we were riding next to each other, me in the left lane, and him blocking all passing traffic in the right lane. (we drive on the left here) So a cab decides to cut in between us! Me-thinks this kid has seen too many MASH videos. He must have done about 30 skids in a 10 block distance.
You know how people sometimes insist that bad cycling can cause accidents, as though cyclists are running red lights and leaving 5 car pile-ups in their wake? Well, no one crashed but I saw about 4 very near car crashes happen in his wake. Never seen that before. Thats how erratic his riding was. I'm a pretty aggressive rider and I'm amazed he was able to get away with riding the way he did without getting run over.
I'm sure most people on this forum aren't "that guy".
But please let me say it, DON'T BE "THAT GUY".

- Ex-skinhead Jeremiah Barnum gets 12 years in slaying of Oumar Dia (July 18, 2002)
Two people arrested before the fatal officer-involved shooting of Jeremiah Barnum were identified Saturday, and one of them insists Barnum was a changed man.
Steven Lee Ezell, 49, and Allison Leigh Hein, 27, were arrested after 4:30 p.m. Thursday in a Walgreens parking lot at 3080 S. Broadway. Englewood police said they were in a stolen car.
Two hours later, Barnum, a one-time white supremacist who served time in the 1997 murder of African immigrant Oumar Dia, was shot in the same parking lot by an Englewood police officer.
Ezell told 9News on Saturday that Barnum, who finished his prison time in November, was a "good guy" who was checking "to make sure we were OK."
Ezell denied that the car he and his girlfriend were in was stolen, and he said his face was bruised because an officer shoved him to the ground.
According to court records, Hein was convicted on two 2005 drug charges in Mesa County. Ezell had no record of convictions.
Barnum arrived at the Walgreens around 6:30 p.m., at which time police say he confronted an officer who was filling out paperwork relating to the stolen car.
Two officers then approached Barnum, who was in his white convertible Mustang. One officer was on each side of the car.
The two said they saw Barnum reach for a gun in his waistband.
Witnesses said an officer fired six times.

Re: Iraq Pullout Planned
Jed, Thanks for the clarification. It appears the confusion afflicts more folks than just the Times. The U.K. Spectator's link to the story reads, "UK & USA Plan To Leave Iraq From March, Iraq Foreign Minister Warns Of Chaos." Indeed, the actual information in the article is a drawdown. The foreign minister's quote applies to a withdrawal.

Witness's Ability to ID Shooter Questioned
Brandolph, Adam, Tribune-Review/Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
Less than two years after the 1994 shooting death of her daughter, Barbara Robinson told police she couldn't identify the three men she claimed she had seen walk near her house before the shooting and run away afterward.
But on Thursday, Robinson told an Allegheny County jury that she recognized Terrell Johnson as one of the men.
"If somebody killed your child, you'd never forget that face," Robinson told Johnson's defense attorney, Turahn Jenkins. "I seen what I seen. ... I might have said (I couldn't previously identify him) because I was scared."
A jury convicted Johnson, 37, formerly of Hazelwood, in 1995 for the July 22, 1994, shooting death of Verna Robinson, 30.
Verna Robinson had been scheduled to testify against Johnson on charges that he assaulted her a month earlier, and in a case against a member of the "Hazelwood mob" she witnessed fatally shoot a man in a drive-by. …

'Help, Thanks, Wow' gets to the heart of the power of prayer
Anne Lamott, whose Christianity is permeated by the street-wise spirituality of the 12-step programs, has much in common with the publican in Luke's parable, whose simple prayer is "God, have mercy on me, a sinner."
Luke doesn't record how much of a sense of humor the publican had, but Lamott brings her hard-earned wit to this concise book about the ways that need, gratitude and awe drive prayer. »Read Full Article
Yo La Tengo swings from calm to full-on rocking
Yo La Tengo's show at Turner Hall on Saturday showed that in music, there are different types of Zen.
The Hoboken, N.J.-based indie rock darling began a nine-song opening acoustic set with a meditative variation of "Ohm," the first track off "Fade," its lovely and relaxed 13th full-length studio album released in January. Georgia Hubley gently tapped the drums with brushes, her husband Ira Kaplan glided the song toward a subdued Middle Eastern-influenced guitar jam, and the couple along with primary bassist James McNew sang sweetly, quietly, together. »Read Full Article

Milwaukee Rep's 'Clybourne Park' an electrifying production
Because "Clybourne Park" is so good and because it explores issues that aren't going away, it's easy to agree with Mark Clements' prediction - made in his director's notes for the new Milwaukee Repertory Theater production - that Bruce Norris' play is built to last.
It's much harder to imagine watching the inevitable revival, 10 or 20 years from now, without hearkening back to the electrifying performance I saw Friday night, in which Clements' all-star cast gave "Clybourne" the treatment it deserves. »Read Full Article(1)

The Language of Science and Faith: An Excerpt
Given the current highly publicized controversy over evolution, the warfare metaphor can seem all too obvious, if we forget about all the activity taking place off the media radar. In the big picture, warfare is but a minor facet of the interaction between science and religion. Unfortunately, this facet is the most interesting and, far and away, the one likely to appear in a newspaper. When creation and evolution clash in a courtroom, to take the most familiar example, the daily news fills up with stories reminding us of the supposed conflict between science and religion. There is a "Here comes the Galileo affair" template being dusted off and trotted out to make sense of the issue.
The NOMA aspect, of course, does not make the news for, alas, it is not news. Who can imagine an evening news science report beginning with, "Scientists at Yale University today announced that they have discovered the origins of dark matter. Yale theologians report that this discovery has no relevance religion." On the other hand, we often hear stories like "Religious leaders in Kansas City have demanded a meeting with local school board officials to protest the teaching of evolution in local high schools."
Just as the majority of scientists work on topics that do not come into contact with religion, so theologians and biblical scholars pursue topics in fields unrelated to science—topics like the origins and development of Scriptures, philosophical solutions to the problem of evil and the promise of eternal life. These topics do not connect in any natural way to science. NOMA helps by highlighting the extended nonoverlapping nature of science and religion.
NOMA, however, over-compartmentalizes by equating science simplistically with factual knowledge and religion with value or opinion. In that case there would clearly be no overlap between the two pursuits, but this is true only if we accept those overly narrow and restrictive definitions.
Science is not the only source of factual statements and there are important statements made by science that are not purely factual in any simple sense. Cosmologists, for example, speak in meaningful ways about the existence of other universes, but these statements cannot be considered factual in the same sense as statements about other planets. In the same way, religion reaches beyond the realm of values and morals. If statements like "God exists" or "child abuse is wrong" are considered factual claims about reality, then, according to NOMA, they could not be religious statements. On the other hand, few scientists would consider statements like these to be scientific. So what kind of statements are they? The inability of NOMA to handle claims like these about reality highlights its limitations as a universally applicable model.
Gould acknowledged that science was limited to making factual claims about the world's physical behavior, and therefore provides only a limited picture of reality. Many however are seduced by the success of science into assuming that science is capable of discovering all possible facts about the world. The great astronomer Sir Arthur Eddington developed a winsome analogy for this assumption, describing a "man who set out to study deep-sea life using a net that had a mesh-size of three inches. After catching many wild and wonderful creatures from the depths, the man concluded that there are no deep-sea fish that are smaller than three inches in length!"

Imagine visiting a zoo and not having to view the wildlife through wired fences or glass windows; or not having to plan ahead to ensure you make the 'feeding times' of your favourite animal; or not straining to hear the zookeeper from a distance introduce the animal under their care.
Jake Burgess, CEO of Sydney Zoo, did imagine this and, together with Western Sydney University (WSU), are seeking to deliver his vision for a fully immersed, on-safari, whole of family experience to Australia.
Through WSU's Launch Pad innovation program, a zoo hackathon was held (on Friday 8th April 2016) aimed at bringing together people across various disciplines (including engineering, industrial design, science, zoology, business, communications, and information technology) to crowdsource ideas for the creation of the world's most technologically advanced zoo.
Some ideas generated involved virtual reality technology, advanced multi-touch robust displays, live in-field discreet surveillance streaming, gamified educational applications, sensorised cageless enclosures, and bio-metric diagnostic monitoring tools for data collation and analytics. The winning idea will be announced in the next few weeks.
By partnering with WSU Launch Pad, Sydney Zoo is able to engage with its resident emerging tech startups, university scientists and researchers, and corporate sponsors, such as KPMG, who assisted with the facilitation of the zoo hackathon.
KPMG is committed to and seeks to support innovative ecosystems throughout Australia by sharing its industry knowledge and experience, and providing access to leading thinkers in the innovation space, to achieve commercial success, including:

Did you know that according to the most recent available WorkCover statistical bulletin back injuries accounted for 23% of the 6089 major injuries in NSW?
As the most common type of injury experienced by NSW employees it is important that you, as an employer, are able to provide the correct intervention to ensure your back-injured employee recovers and returns to productivity quickly. Injury Treatment, through their team of Physiotherapists, is pleased to be able to offer employers access to a state of the art intervention known as ViMove. Under the intervention ViMove sensors are used to record your employee's low back movement, postures and muscle activation over the course of a work day.
Using the data collected the ViMove Physiotherapist will analyse the movement patterns of your injured employee at work. Activities and postures that might be contributing to symptom are identified and tailored advice provided regarding manual handling, task design and suitable duties. The result is that your employee is less likely to experience hiccups with their recovery and return to work!
If you would like to find out more about how ViMove, or other workplace based Physiotherapy interventions, can help your employees return to or continue at work please contact Injury Treatment on 1300 622 734.

Anyone who deals with injury management knows the value of having a medical certificate issued that matches the injured worker's capacity to the duties available in the workplace. Equally important is the issue of a final certificate when the worker's capacity matches that of his/her pre-injury duties. But what information is provided to the treating doctor to make this call? Do you have a workplace representative attend the first medical appointment with the injured worker and if so, are they equipped with adequate documentation to assist with negotiation of an appropriate medical certificate?
Task analysis reports that detail the physical, cognitive and environmental demands of suitable and/or pre-injury duties are invaluable in providing objective information to the doctor. If the doctor has a breakdown of tasks that includes weights to be lifted, working heights, bending, standing required etc. they are more likely to set meaningful restrictions that enable an early return to work.
Job task analysis reports can also be used to develop functional assessments for pre-employment/ internal redeployment screening or assessments of a worker's ongoing capacity to remain at work. The analysis conducted during the job task assessment can also form the basis from which tailored manual handling training can be developed. A good place to start!

The upcoming release of the 2016/2017 Australian Federal Budget has the nation abuzz with speculation of many changes, including possible tax concessions to businesses. However, one policy focus getting particular attention is "the Ideas Boom"– the government's proposal of investment in innovation across all sectors. One of the key areas in discussion is to provide easier pathways to funding for Universities and businesses to collaborate in industry based research. So what does this mean for the economy?
Currently, Australia is trailing behind many other countries in the world when it comes to innovation. Europe, Israel and the U.S have been investing in this area for a lot longer and the results are evident. Our great resources boom is scaling down and now we need the next big thing to keep the economy going. If we have businesses collaborating with researchers, the research will be conducted in the areas which are most vital to the industry and those which will help propel that particular industry into the future.
The National Innovation and Science Agenda website explains plans to fast track the project funding process, meaning a shorter lag time between research and development of products and services and those being used in industry. The increase in project-based work will produce a transferrable workforce with added emphasis on more flexible working arrangements, where workers can move more easily from project to project.
The Turnbull government has also recognised the need to attract the best of the world's talent to Australia and to be able to retain the talent we have. As we move into the New World of Work, the emphasis has shifted to the value of human talent, and in order to produce this valuable commodity, it is necessary to invest in research and innovation. According to CEDA's 2016 Economic and Political Overview report, Universities and Business working together will:
In combining our talent in these areas, we are increasing our competitive advantage on a global scale. The National Innovation and Science Agenda states that "Innovative firms are more competitive, more able to capture increased market share and more likely to increase employment than their competitors." It can be argued that this is a case of too little, too late for the government to be pushing such an agenda and that the private sector has been fuelling this for a lot longer, but the fact remains that we can only benefit from investment in these areas.
If the government is able to deliver on these policies as promised, it would provide a much-needed boost for the education and business sectors. It will also help shape the growing contingent workforce into the fluid asset our economy now demands.
More than just a buzz word, disruption is what we are seeing all around us and its impact on the workplace is undeniable. From major technological developments like Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things, to the rise of the 'next generation' workforce, there is no doubt that the way we work is changing.
In the video interview below, Fay Calderone from DibbsBarker's People & Workplace team speaks with BRR Media about some of the things employers should think about as they start to create more agile workforces and innovative workplaces to keep pace in an era of unrelenting change.

The Western Sydney Rail Alliance comprising of Campbelltown, Liverpool and Penrith Councils, Sydney University, south-west and north-west landowners, and the Committee for Sydney and Western Sydney Leadership Dialogue are united in their calls for a rail connection along the north-south corridor, stretching from Campbelltown/Camden in the South West through to Marsden Park in the North West.
Known as the 'innovation corridor' which was the focus for WSBC Platinum Partner Western Sydney University's report and WSBC event last year, the route would link Western Sydney's massive growth areas, as well as Badgerys Creek Airport, the Sydney Science Park and major tertiary institutions.
The Alliance has been established to respond to the Joint NSW/Federal Government Investigation into Rail Options for Western Sydney, and has appointed WSBC Platinum Partner Deloitte and Arup to prepare a detailed submission, analysing the opportunities and challenges that exist in the corridor and how improved transport links will unlock the jobs, homes and education of the future. Importantly, the study will also examine the 'value capture' potential of this corridor, to help meet the costs of construction.
"The one critical thing missing in Sydney's transport network is the north-south spine, a connection that links to all of the key growth and employment areas. Make no mistake, this is not just about leveraging the once in a lifetime opportunities that come with the Western Sydney Airport, but about connecting Western Sydney with Western Sydney," Convenor of the Western Sydney Rail Alliance, Christopher Brown said.
"We see a rail connection along the innovation corridor as the catalyst that will drive the smart jobs of tomorrow and when integrated with current metro and heavy rail and light rail plans, will form a complete orbital transport network that works for all of Sydney."
"There are a lot of urgers touting their own fast train projects from Badgerys Creek to the city but we all need to recognise that this is not Sydney's second airport, it's our first airport, and our link to global jobs of the future. Before we get carried away with rail lines to Circular Quay, we first need to ensure the people of Penrith, Liverpool, Blacktown, Parramatta and Campbelltown can get to and from Sydney West Airport."
Tim Williams, CEO, Committee for Sydney added:
"Public transport is vital for Western Sydney's future. When combined with Badgerys Creek Airport, and fast rail connections between Parramatta and the CBD, it is a game-changer for the region," he said.
"Western Sydney has lacked equitable access to public transport for too long and effective links across the region will drive productivity and boost the creation of knowledge economy precincts.
Liverpool, Mayor, Cr Ned Mannoun:
"Improving transport is a major dynamic to opening up the Great South West to more employment and investment," Cr Mannoun said.
Penrith Mayor Karen McKeown:
"To maximise Western Sydney's productivity and realise the region's potential there needs to be more connection between the North West and South West Growth Centres. Rail will re-shape the region and be followed by new town centres that are thick with jobs of the future."
Campbelltown Mayor, Cr Paul Hawker:
"Our area is growing at a rapid rate, and supporting this growth with suitable infrastructure that facilitates efficient movement of people and goods between the North West and South West Growth Centres will help to ensure that the liveability and business potential of the Macarthur region is maximised," Cr Hawker said.
At completion, the 20,000 square metre Riverbank mixed-use precinct will provide an optimal blend of residential, dining, retail, heritage and cultural facilities including flexible open space that will attract residents and visitors to the rejuvenated waterfront location.
Council will run an Expressions of Interest campaign throughout March and April for a 5,150 square metre parcel of land on the Riverbank site that is prime for residential and retail development.
Lord Mayor of Parramatta Cr Paul Garrard said the redeveloped Riverbank precinct will be a compelling all-hours entertainment and cultural destination that will connect with and complement the $2 billion Parramatta Square business district.
"Council has a development blueprint for Riverbank that proposes up to 1,200 apartments, 6,000 square metres of retail, and 10,000 square metres of open space. It includes the preservation of local heritage and the possibility of an iconic cultural asset to distinguish Riverbank as the cultural heart of Australia's next great city," Cr Garrard said.
"The first parcel of land for sale sits on the western side of the precinct. It offers an enviable waterfront location prime for a high-quality development including residential, retail and dining spaces that can set the precedent for a vibrant Riverbank precinct."
Cr Garrard said the 5,150 square metre western site could yield up to 680 apartments in a 74-storey mixed-use tower, subject to Council approval.
"We are offering this site without a development application as we want to give a developer the flexibility to achieve design excellence for the residential tower and retail space to complement Council's vision for Riverbank," he said.
"The successful proponent will be required to carry out a design competition and obtain all necessary approvals."
Expressions of Interest will close in early May.
