The town had some three thousands residents, two thousands of them Jewish. The houses were made of wood, and as Rakov had not suffered from a devastating fire for a long time they were old and dilapidated. In the center of town, a row of shops, and the market was held there twice a week: on Mondays and on Fridays. Its streets: Vilna Street on the West and Minsk Street on the East, and on their sides small streets and lanes, which were inhabited, mostly, by Christians, and by a few Jews. On the outskirts of town there were isolated Jewish houses.
The neighboring towns: Horodok, Ivanitz, the famous Volozhin, Vishniva, and more, each town and its unique character. These towns survived for hundreds of years in the Lands of Byelorussia and Lithuania, and developed their way of life; the way of life of a Jewish town, where Jewish culture evolved and was preserved, until they were destroyed by the wicked hand.
The two large cities: Vilna to the West, some 140 kilometers from Rakov, and Minsk to the East, 35 kilometers away, were, until the First World War, the metropolitan centers of these smaller towns. From there they brought in the goods, and there they sent their products; there did the 'maskilim' [seekers of general education] go to get their heavenly [elementary] education, and later to the Gymnasium [high-school]. The situation changed after Rakov became a border town [after World War I] a mere half a kilometer from the border, and Minsk on the other side of the border. Vilna remained the only central city of the region, and all commerce revolved around her. There did the shopkeepers and businessmen go, and there were the young sent to obtain their education; there, too, went those young people who aspired to go out to the big world.
The only mode of transportation was the wagon, as the railroad bypassed the towns, disregarding their transportation needs, and that of the nearby villages.
The teamsters were a special breed, shaped by the constant journeying on those unpaved, and often impassable, roads.
The teamster and the butcher were two of a kind. They were the am ha'aretz [common, ignorant folks] of the town. But they were, also, the ones who protected it in time of danger from rioters, or just from unruly drunken goys. They knew how to unsheathe the butcher's knife, and how to raise the shaft of the wagon and smash the heads of those who wanted to 'play a little' in the town.
Add to them the tailors, the cobblers, the carpenters, the iron-smiths, the
bakers, and other sorts of artisans, and you get a large group of breadwinners
who made their living by the toil of their hands, and were the healthy economic
basis, even though the poorer one, of the town.
|The Drama Group 1926
By the way, Rakov also had a resident 'hach'shara halutzit' [a place of readying pioneers for settlement in Eretz Israel], and in the Twenties it had some 30 halutzim [pioneers], from all over Poland, working there. It is interesting to note that Mr. Rivin, the owner of the sawmill, was himself a member of Bilu [a pre-Herzl Zionist movement], and had intended to migrate to Eretz Israel with his comrades, only that he was delayed for a little while.This little while stretched for tens of years, until he and his enterprise were destroyed.
We should mention another enterprise, heavy industry, in Rakov, under the ownership of the Pupkin family: the production of coal [from wood], turpentine, and tar in the Pogolenka Forest. This enterprise, whose products were mostly for export, was functioning well until the outbreak of the Second World War.
The next strata was of those who were engaged in commerce, the shopkeepers, the tavern owners, and a few clerks in institutions of the community. This was the weakest link in the economic life of the town, subject to economic fluctuations. They were hard up, and many of them actually suffered hunger, and needed the support of their relatives in America or that of the Rakov Association in America. The two organizations of Gmilat Hessed [for giving interest-free loans] and Linat HaTzedek [for giving shelter and clothing] also came to their help.
There were also Jews who were engaged in agriculture. Some of them owned their land, and others leased land from the owners of nearby estates and from rich farmers, and started their own farms.
Unlike the other towns in the area, Rakov was a mixed town, of Jews and
Christians. The Jews resided in the center of town, and the Christians in the
periphery, in the outer lanes. Most of the Christians owned small farms, and
cultivated vegetable gardens. From these lanes the Jews in town got their
apples, the fragrant pears, the plums, and the cherries. Some of the Christians
were artisans: cobblers, tailors, carpenters, government clerks, and tradesmen;
the latter had shops in the center of town, and eventually became strong
competitors of the Jewish shop-owners, and encroached on some of the areas
which had been Jewish for generations.
Rabbi Helprin served as the rabbi in Rakov until the Nazis came. He was taken
by the Germans to a labor camp, and was killed there together with the rest of
the people in the camp. T.N.Ts.B.H [May his soul be bundled in the bundle of
eternal life May he rest in peace].
The yeshiva existed in Rakov until 1929. When Rabbi Kalmanovitz left town, and the financial sources dwindled, the yeshiva was shut down.
That was the education of the boys, but the education of the girls was quite
different. Here there was no heder or the inhibition of 'tradition', and the
path was clear: the Government School. Thus it was under the Russians, and thus
it was under the Polish authorities. Upon graduating from elementary-school,
the daughters of the well-to-do families were sent to Vilna, to continue their
education in the high-school. They learned Hebrew with private tutors.
To the chairman of the Committee to Aid Rakov, our distinguished friend, the famous philanthropist, R. Rosenthal, may his light shine.
Today I am a man of good tidings. The construction of the building is completed only the stoves are lacking. We are preparing the dedication ceremony, hoping that these [troubled] times would permit us to celebrate. Your honor will be thanked during these joyful celebrations, as being one of the first donors, and your name will be forever remembered and blessed by the students who will study in the school.
The stone which, at first, was rejected by the masons became the cornerstone. [an allusion to Psalms 118; 22] No building in the area can match the splendor of this one.
The stoves cost more than a thousand pieces of gold, in addition to the large debt which I owe to the shopkeepers and craftsman of Rakov. We were mistaken in our reckoning. They [the stoves] cost twice as much as we thought at first.
I sent an exact account to R. Moshe Berman.
So, brethren and friends, hurry up with your aid. Do not let us collapse under the heavy burden, help us. The good God will repay you for your deeds, and may the Master of All double your wages.
I am also sending you my best wishes for the new year, may it be a year of good life, peace and tranquility, and great success in all your doings.
Your eternal friend Israel Helprin 9 of Elul 5699 [August 24, 1939]

Handling a health insurance claim denial
It's not unusual for insurers to deny some claims or say they won't cover a test, procedure, or service that doctors order. The new health care law gives consumers more information and the right to appeal a claim denial. For example, an insurer must notify you in writing of a claim denial within 30 days after a claim is filed for medical services you've already had, and within 72 hours for urgent care cases.
Under the health care law, health plans that are not grandfathered (those that began on or after September 23, 2010) must have an internal appeals process that:
- Allows consumers to appeal when a health plan denies a claim for a covered service or rescinds (takes back) coverage
- Gives consumers details about the reasons for the denial of claims or coverage
- Requires plans to notify consumers about their right to appeal and how to begin the appeals process
- Offers consumers a way to speed up the appeal in urgent cases
If the insurer denies a claim, it must explain your right to appeal the decision. If you ask for it, they must give you all the information about the decision. Plans that were started before September 23, 2010 (grandfathered plans) are still appealed under the old rules of coverage.
Before you appeal, you may want to take these steps:
- Ask your insurance company's customer service representative for a full explanation of why the claim was denied.
- Review your health insurance plan's benefits. You may need to look at the more detailed Summary of Benefits notice.
- If your child's plan is through an employer, contact the health plan administrator at work to find out more about the refusal.
- Ask the child's doctor to write a letter explaining or justifying what's been done or has been requested. Keep a copy of this letter in case an appeal is needed later.
- Ask your insurer if your employer's health plan is self-insured, and on what date the plan started. (This is to learn if the new law's requirements apply or if the plan is grandfathered.) This will help you figure out which rules apply and which appeals process to follow.
- Talk to your state insurance department or the agency that regulates your insurance company to verify that the insurance company has acted properly and the denial has not been made in error. (See the section called " Who regulates insurance plans?")
You can then re-submit the claim with a copy of the denial letter and your child's doctor's explanation, along with any other written information that supports using the test or treatment that's been denied. Sometimes the test or service will only need to be "coded" differently. If questioning or challenging the denial with these methods doesn't work, you may need to:
- Put off payment until the matter is resolved. Keep the originals of all the letters you get. Your child's cancer care team may be able to help you make copies if you need them.
- Keep a record of dates, names, and conversations you have about the denial.
- Formally request an internal appeal (or internal review) by the insurance company. Complete any forms the insurer requires, or write them a letter explaining that you're appealing the insurer's denial. Include your name, claim number, and health insurance ID number, along with any extra information such as a letter from your child's doctor. Your child's cancer care team members may be able to help with this.
- You have 6 months (180 days) from receiving a claim denial to file an internal appeal.
- Find out if you live in one of the US states that also have a special Consumer Assistance Program (CAP) that can help you file an appeal. (You find out online at www.cms.gov/CCIIO/Resources/Consumer-Assistance-Grants/.)
- If you don't live in a CAP state, get help from the consumer services division of your state insurance department or commission. Check the blue pages of your phone book or contact the National Association of Insurance Commissioners online at http://naic.org/state_web_map.htm, or you can call them at 1-866-470-6242.
- Do not back down when trying to resolve the matter.
- Find out about getting an external review. (See "The external appeals process" below.)
The external appeals process
If your internal appeal is denied, you may be entitled to an independent external review by people outside of your health plan. Note that if your child has employer-sponsored coverage, you may have to file a second internal review before you can file for an external one. Check with your insurance company about the process. For urgent health situations, the timelines are shorter, and you may be able to ask for an external review at the same time you ask for an internal one.
Outside or commercial health plans: Most commercial health plans (those offered by insurance companies) take part in the federal external review process. Find out if your child's plan does, and if so, call the US Department of Health and Human Services at 1-877-549-8152 for an external review request form, or go to www.cms.gov/CCIIO/Programs-and-Initiatives/Consumer-Support-and-Information/csg-ext-appeals-facts.html to learn more about appeals.
Self-insured health plans: If your plan is self-insured (see the section " Who regulates insurance plans?"), you can ask your insurer how to start an independent external review. Or you can contact the Employee Benefits Security Administration at the US Department of Labor. You can find contact information in the " To learn more" section.
If all the internal and external appeals are exhausted, and the claim is still denied, ask the health care provider if the cost of the bill can be reduced. Many providers are willing to reduce bills to get paid faster.

These delightful little donuts come from Anna of Blondie's Cakes and Things. We love them because they're cute and delicious, of course, but also because they use coconut flour- a high fiber, gluten free flour. Don't be scared of all of the eggs, coconut flour absorbs a lot of liquid and eggs allow the baked good to come out fluffy and delicate. Of herself and her blog, Anna writes, "I started my blog, Blondie's Cakes, a few years ago just so I'd have a place to catalog all my kitchen exploits. By then it's been years since I started hovering over the shoulders of my friend's aunts and grandmas, taking notes and watching them taste taste taste, sneaking in my spoon or sticking my finger in the sauce when I could. All along I've been hoarding up the recipes for some distant day in the future when I could pull them out and share them with someone, and through my blog that "someone" has turned into my readers. Along the way I've started writing and taking pictures and I like that my blog is pushing me to keep trying new things. I hope I never stop learning." Enjoy!
Mini Gluten Free Choco-Coco Donuts
makes ~3 dozen mini donuts
recipe adapted from Comfy Belly @ comfybelly.com
- 1/2 cup of Bob's Red Mill Organic Coconut Flour
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/4 tsp Baking Powder
- 3 Tbsp Bob's Red Mill Carob Powder
- 6 Eggs
- 1/2 cup Honey
- 1 Tbsp Vanilla
- 1/2 cup Coconut Oil, slightly warmed
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- 3 Tbsp Cherry Juice, Milk or Amaretto
Special equipment: Baking pan with mini donut shapes, though you can also bake these into cupcakes if you like.
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Combine all ingredients (except for powdered sugar and juice) in a bowl and whisk either by hand or a mixer until completely blended. Scoop into a plastic zippy bag.
3. If your donut pan is non-stick you are good to go, otherwise lightly grease it with a bit of vegetable oil.
4. Snip the corner off of your plastic bag and pipe the batter into your donut mold, about 1/2 full if you want true donut shapes and 3/4 full if you don't care so much and just want thicker donuts (I chose the latter route).
5. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. If you have a regular donut size pan or if you're making cupcakes, your baking time will double, so keep that in mind.
6. While the cupcakes are cooling, mix together the powdered sugar and your liquid of choice to make the icing. Once the cupcakes are cool, dunk them in and decorate as you like.
Note: These keep really well in a tightly sealed container in the fridge and get even more tender/moist by the 2nd day….if they last that long.

Three recent lawsuits challenging Solana Beach's newly adopted coastal land-use plan appear likely to move forward, regardless of what happens with an amendment that city officials have crafted to try to soften concerns that the plan will trample on private property rights.
The amendment is an effort to strike a compromise between blufftop homeowners and environmentalists over new rules that could limit sea walls and development along the city's nearly two miles of coastline.
The City Council is expected to vote on the amendment May 22, City Manager David Ott said.
But there's little hope the proposal will bridge the gap between frustrated property owners and supporters of the plan who say it will help protect public access to the beach and restore a more natural coastline.
A homeowners group calling itself the Beach & Bluff Conservancy sued the city April 26 challenging the coastal plan and seeking to invalidate the new regulations about sea walls and blufftop development. The same group sued the Coastal Commission last year over its role in shaping the plan.
Similar lawsuits were filed against Solana Beach last month by resident Joseph Steinberg and several condominium associations.
The proposed amendment would address a few rules that homeowners are unhappy with, but it completely ignores some of the biggest sticking points, said Jonathan Corn, a lawyer representing the conservancy and the condo associations.
Those points include a 20-year shelf life on sea wall permits, meaning when the permit expires, applicants would have to seek another — and meet several requirements to get it approved.
That uncertainty is stressful for homeowners and could adversely affect property values, said conservancy leader Chris Hamilton, who paid to build a sea wall behind his house about five years ago and helped organize the most recent lawsuit.
City officials won't comment on the suits, Ott said.
The plan
The city has worked for 13 years trying to get the land-use plan approved, submitting several different versions to the Coastal Commission. Some earlier versions were rejected outright; others the city withdrew to make suggested revisions.
The commission approved a plan last year, but added 153 modifications, including restrictions on sea walls and private stairways to the beach.
Those revisions remain a point of contention. Officials with the Coastal Commission say they were simply recommendations that the city could decide to use or not.
However, since it's ultimately up to the commission to approve the plans, some have argued that the suggestions amount to forcing changes and taking control from local jurisdictions.
In February, the City Council approved the plan that included the commission's changes.
"The original (plan) that the city embraced and submitted to the Coastal Commission has basically been withering away against an onslaught of Coastal Commission changes over the past six or seven years," Corn said.
Protecting property
The amendment makes small changes in the plan's treatment of sea walls, but the underlying conflict remains.
The concrete barriers can cost homeowners hundreds of thousands of dollars and are designed to minimize erosion that threatens houses, streets or other assets. However, they also can have adverse affects on surrounding beaches, since erosion is what helps replenish sand along the shore.
"After a decade or so of the sea wall being in place, the beach disappears," said Diana Lilly, a coastal planner with the Coastal Commission's San Diego office.
Although the Coastal Commission strongly discourages sea walls, it understands that they are needed in areas such as Solana Beach, where bluffs can erode abnormally quickly, Lilly said.
"We're trying to keep the bluffs as natural as possible while trying to recognize that there is a need for property protection," she said. "What we really don't want to see is 80-foot-high sea walls all up and down Solana Beach."
Under the coastal plan, homeowners with sea walls will have to pay separate fees to cover the costs associated with replacing sand and the loss of public beach space. These fees can cost homeowners tens of thousands of dollars, said Corn, the lawyer.
Jim Jaffee, a member of the Surfrider Foundation who has argued against the sea walls, said he thinks the cash involved with the fees is the bottom line for many of the homeowners involved with the lawsuit.
"Their real intention is to delay paying mitigation for these sea walls that they have in place," he said. "The lawsuit is completely baseless."
Private stairways
Private stairways are also a big topic for many of the roughly 900 condominium owners along the southern bluffs of the city. Again, the biggest problem is uncertainty, said Tom Ryan, president of the Condominium Owners Association of South Sierra Avenue, which represents the complexes.
The homeowners associations from eight of the nine complexes have also filed a lawsuit against the city, seeking to invalidate some of the new rules.
The proposed amendment calls for the stairways to be "phased out at the end of the economic life of the structures." Ryan said he and other condo owners feel the language is too ambiguous.
Three of the condo complexes have private stairs to the beach that have been there for decades. Ryan said he's afraid that the new rules could require those to be taken down or made public in the future. Even if that doesn't happen, just having to tell prospective buyers that it's possible could lower property values, he said.
"It seems like everything's sort of stacked against you," he said about the new regulations.
The amendment allows the private stairways to stay up as long as they're "maintained in good condition" but not expanded or rebuilt. They could stand indefinitely, Lilly said.
Building and remodeling
Other debated regulations limit development along the bluffs, including major remodeling and expansion work. They are intended to eventually push development farther away from the edge of the bluffs.
Existing homes will be grandfathered in, but the owners would have to conform to the new regulations if they make any significant changes to their property.
Hamilton said he has a smaller house that he would like to remodel someday, but now he doesn't think it will be practical since he would have to remove part of the house closest to the bluff.
The rules that would essentially make some of land unusable after rebuilding or remodeling are akin to taking away property without compensation, Corn said.
Hamilton said he doesn't have much hope that the issues will be resolved.
"We don't feel like it's a negotiation because the things we say that are important to us, they have not put in there," he said.
Even if a deal is struck that everybody can live with, it would still need to be approved by both the city and the California Coastal Commission, which could take years.

Council Vice President of Administration: Tyler Sepcoski
Hey guys! My name is Tyler Sepcoski and I'm honored to serve as you and the rest of those in the Northeastern Pennsylvania Council as the Vice President of Administration.
In addition to being the VOA Vice President of Administration, I'm also President of Crew 2025, and have been for two years now. I'm also a Brotherhood member of Order of the Arrow Lodge 191, an Eagle Scout from Troop 316, and a Camp Acahela staff member for the last three years. I've been in Venturing for three years now and I've been in Scouting for 11 years and I don't plan on leaving it. Venturing has honestly given me some of my best memories and I know it still has many more just waiting in store!
Outside of Scouting, I'm a Senior at Triboro Christian Academy, college student at Luzerne Community College, a member of the National Honor Society and a captain of my high school's soccer team. After high school I plan on going to Penn State for Administration of Justice.
When I'm not working on school work, I'm usually planning for my next Scouting event, or at least looking forward to it! Venturing has let me experience many new things, meet new people, and has changed my life exponentially, especially considering I've only been in the program for three years. As the Vice President of Administration I hope to help the Venturing program grow so that the youth of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Council can have all the experiences I've had because of it. Thank you, and I hope to see you at the next Venturing event!

Chesapeake Can't Overcome Early 9-0 Deficit, Loses Fourth Straight
Midfielder Paul Rabil scored four goals and led an early onslaught that lifted the Boston Cannons to a 16-10 victory over the Chesapeake Bayhawks on Saturday night at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.
Goalkeeper Mike Levin entered the game early in the first quarter and made eight saves in his most extensive action of the season for Chesapeake, which could not overcome an early 9-0 deficit. Midfielders Kyle Dixon and Peet Poillon scored two goals apiece to lead the Bayhawks (4-5), who have suffered four straight losses.
Rabil, the reigning Major League Lacrosse Most Valuable Player and a member of the United States National team, scored three goals in the opening six minutes of the game as the Cannons came out on fire. Rabil's 2-point goal gave him an early hat trick and put Boston ahead 5-0. Midfielder Matt Poskay added two goals while rookie attackman Max Quinzani contributed a goal and an assist as the visitors raced to a commanding 9-0 lead.
"That first quarter killed us. Giving up nine goals in a game is bad, let alone nine in one quarter," Bayhawks defenseman Mike Evans said. "It's tough to come back from that kind of deficit, but I think we showed some heart by coming back and getting within three at one point."
Midfielder Jed Prossner, active for the first time since suffering a hamstring injury on June 4, finally put the Bayhawks on the board with 1:30 left in the first quarter. Rookie attackman Brian Carroll, a first-round draft choice out of Virginia making his MLL debut, scored his first career goal to start the second quarter while midfielders Peet Poillon and Kyle Dixon followed with goals to cap a 4-0 run that pulled Chesapeake within 9-4 with 6:05 elapsed.
However, midfielder Kevin Buchanan and Poskay closed the second period with consecutive goals to send Boston into intermission with a comfortable 11-4 advantage. "The Cannons came out running and gunning while didn't come out with the type of intensity we needed and it showed," Evans said.
Chesapeake displayed renewed energy to open the second half with a 2-point goal by midfielder Kyle Dixon sparking an impressive rally. It was the 26th 2-pointer of Dixon's five-year career and the moved the former Virginia All-American into second place in MLL history in that category. Dixon surpassed Mike Regan (Boston Cannons) and is now seven shy of all-time leader Roy Colsey (Philadelphia Barrage).
Short stick defensive midfielder netted his third goal of the season while Poillon scored on a beautiful behind-the-back shot as the Bayhawks closed the gap to 11-8 with just under nine minutes left in the third period. However, Buchanan had a goal and an assist as the Cannons responded with five consecutive goals to push the lead back to 16-8.
"It was a lousy start. We didn't come out with a whole lot of fire and dug ourselves a hole that was too deep to recover from," Chesapeake head coach John Tucker said. "We have to be able to put 60 minutes together. Playing well for 30 minutes doesn't cut it. We play in spurts and we have to find a way to fix that."
Chazz Woodson, who started at attack in place of Ben Rubeor, had one final highlight for Chesapeake – flying in from behind the goal and scoring on a slam dunk shot in an imitation of the "Air Gait" move made famous by former Syracuse and former Bayhawks star Gary Gait.
"That's become a staple of my game. I've been jumping and diving since I first started playing varsity lacrosse in high school," said Woodson, who has scored a lot of those types of goals during his MLL career. "I don't know if I've ever scored one right over the top like that. I'll have to go back and look at the replay, but it felt pretty cool."
Goalie Kip Turner made 20 saves – one shy of his season-high – to anchor a strong defensive effort for Boston (6-3), which remained tied with Denver atop the MLL standings. Prossner finished with a goal and an assist for the Bayhawks, whose nine goals were a season low.

When Redondo Beach resident Carl Blenkin started volunteering at a customer service booth at Los Angeles International Airport, he figured it would be temporary.
But 4 1/2 years later, Blenkin is still going to the airport three times each week, patiently answering questions posed by weary travelers.
"I wake up looking forward to this job all the time," said Blenkin, 60.
He enjoys the position so much he works 16 hours each week, even though LAX's Volunteer Information Professionals program only asks volunteers to devote four hours weekly to their booths. Before the airport instituted that program about two years ago, Blenkin volunteered in a similar capacity for its predecessor, called Travelers Aid.
Passengers ask all types of questions. But often, they want to know how they can get to Disneyland, where they can find the bathroom and how they can have better success at persuading airline customer service employees to help them.
Asked about his favorite travelers, Blenkin laughs.
"People that are happy, which is not always the case, and people who have a smiling face and say `thank you' when you give them information."
Blenkin's colleagues say he is almost always smiling and is rarely terse with passengers, even though Blenkin acknowledged questions posed at the airport -- such as "where can I find my bags?" -- can get repetitive. He said he knows passengers aren't always at their sharpest at the airport.
"When you get off a flight, you're kind of out of it," Blenkin said. "You kind of need a friendly face to give you some direction."
Blenkin sometimes even advocates to airline employees on behalf of a passenger, especially if the passenger does not speak English well. He helps people find lost luggage, or tells them what to do if they believe their electronics have been stolen.
"He just takes that extra step to help somebody and help them with a problem and stays with them until they resolve the problem," said Britt Wild, 73, another volunteer in the LAX program. "He is a fine example of someone who helps out at the airport and has a heart for anybody that is having troubles."
Blenkin is also part of the elite LAX meet-and-greet team, volunteers who are selected to help some non-English-speaking passengers navigate from gate to gate. One time, he met a Russian man who spoke no English and he guided him to his connecting flight to Carlsbad, where he was to meet his daughter.
Only about two dozen of the information program's 300 volunteers are qualified for the meet-and-greet team, said Gail Gaddi, manager of the LAX volunteer program.
"Carl has such a positive attitude," Gaddi said. "He is a little bit of a jokester, he is warm and he gives a lot of hugs."
Blenkin said his background working in social services, mainly with senior citizens, has been helpful. One time, he said he was approached by a young woman who had been abused by her husband and was running away with her daughter to California. Eventually, with help from Los Angeles World Airports police and a local shelter, the woman reached her destination - her mother's home.
"We intervened and tried to get this woman to where her mother was," Blenkin said. "It was sad."
Blenkin said he is looking for a full-time job but said he hopes to continue volunteering at the airport for a long time.
"I'm a people person," he said. "I'm not a person who does well sitting at home."

WICHITA KANSAS -- You wouldn't believe it if I told you! Wichita NEEDS another cable system here. HELP? Customer Service is inept!!! I pay over 225.00 and in one year and 10 months they are out here monthly. As long as they get payments they care LESS about their customers. My rating for Cox is 0 (zero). Personally, Cox rapes customers.
ROANOKE, VIRGINIA -- I have had service with Cox for over 21 years and I can say the customer service is getting worse. I spoke with a representative who told me that I had to wait 24-48 to speak to a supervisor. I am like what in the world. I am sad to say that I have this service. When I can get to a new provider I will be doing just that. I tell anyone do not come here. You will not get good service. I am so upset what happened to me today.
PHOENIX, ARIZONA -- My wife and I decided to trim our budget because of cutbacks at our jobs. We both work for the City of Phoenix who are downsizing and doing extreme budget cuts. We decided to return our four Cox converter TV boxes and reduce the TV service to basic.
During the process a young lady by the name of Brittany mentioned that she was looking at our account to try to trim some more charges off the bill. She was doing this to try to pacify my wife and I because she mentioned our internet service.
I interrupted her and told her that there was nothing wrong with my internet service and to just leave it alone. I had five computers, a tablet and two smartphones networked and operating perfect. I also use internet streaming of music and movies. My two daughters' computers are used extensively for homework and the homework website uses animation and video clips to teach.
Brittany continued to sow her seed of wickedness by mentioning that my modem was not up to speed. I told her that it is working just fine and if need be I can replace it and that I was experienced in computer networking. I perceived that Brittany mentioned my internet because she could tell that I stream movies from the internet. Brittany was not happy with me and it was noticeable by her attitude. My internet speed was well over 100kbps before I turned in the Cox TV boxes. After using Cox Speed test Xfinity Speed Test and Speedtest.net, all three tests showed an upload of 7kbps and a download of 5kbps.
This evil person Brittany assumed that I turned in the TV boxes and reduced my service to use other sources. Even if this was so, it's my choice how I use my internet that I pay Cox $64.00 Per month for. I have paid one month for the lowest streaming and bandwidth offered by Cox at the tune of $64.00 per month. I will continue to monitor my connection speed and document it for another month. Afterwards, l will take my research to legal representation and have them document this wickedness with me.
I know Cox next move will be that it's my network, computers, my modem or router is the problem. I've been with Cox for over 25 years and I have not had one hiccup or stumble in service until I turned in the TV boxes and reduced my service with them. I am not obligated to keep Cox pockets happy while my family suffers. If Cox can't stand the heat of Technology, then get out of the arena of technology. Cox - your enemy in the digital age.
PEORIA, ARIZONA -- 12-30-2015. I have been with Cox Communications for many years for my cable, computer and telephone needs. Over the years, the price has steadily climbed higher and higher, but in return they provide nothing. I've been paying $136 a month for quite a while. A bit high for the services I'm getting but they said they were extending me a Customer Loyalty price. Really?
So, today I open my Cox bill and it tells me $151 is due, a $15 increase. I called Cox and was transferred to the Customer Loyalty department per my request. Keith, the person I spoke with was actually a pretty nice guy. He told me I was losing my customer loyalty discount and in addition, Cox was raising their rates another $7 a month starting January 7, 2016. Keith told me my bill would be going from $136 a month to about $169 a month. A $33 a month hike, without receiving any extra benefits. Outrageous! Who does rate hikes like that to such an extreme?
I tried negotiating for a better price, but unfortunately, it seemed to be falling on deaf ears. It appears Cox is not so much into customer service or loyalty anymore, but into making the almighty dollar. I am very disappointed in Cox Communications conducting business like this. What a shame. I thought they were better than that.
ATLANTA, GEORGIA -- This company is overall HORRIBLE! I recommend never starting service with them, because if you have to leave the area you're serviced by Cox, they WILL put you in COLLECTIONS!!! At least, that is what happened to me. I had to move in a hurry and didn't have time to drop off my internet box to a Cox location in Florida.
I moved to a state where there is THANKFULLY no Cox. They had to mail me a prepaid shipping label. In the process of sending my shipping label, they closed my account and sent it to a third party collector!! I returned the equipment, which they have since received and show as the case. These cooks OWE ME MONEY, and they have sent me to collections! What a joke. S.T.E.E.R. C.L.E.A.R.
OKLAHOMA -- On Feb. 20, 2015 I phoned Cox Communications to make arrangements to have our cable vision and internet service terminated. I spoke with Cox representatives in customer service, billing and tech support and each representative from the respective department confirmed that our account was paid up until March 9 of this year, so I requested that our service be stopped on March 8 as I did not want an outstanding balance due to the fact that my wife has cancer and medical bills are continually increasing.
On March 12, we received a bill in the mail from Cox saying we owed a balance of $86.57. I phoned Cox billing and explained that we had made arrangements to have our service cancelled a day before the date we had been told we were paid up to. The person I was speaking to (**) continually interrupted me when I was trying to explain what we had been told and when I asked if I could speak with a supervisor I was told I could not as none were available. So, I asked if a supervisor could call me back when one was available. I was then told that supervisors do not call customers.
We have been Cox customers for many years but when our services decreased and our charges increased, Cox Communications simply priced themselves out of our house. I have read and heard from numerous sources that in 10 years time, cable TV will be a thing of the past but with the kind of customer service displayed by Cox Communications I wouldn't be surprised to see it happen even sooner.
This afternoon, I had an encounter with one of Cox's support contractors who paid an unsolicited visit to my Home that turned unpleasant as it progressed. Mr. ** is a ** male likely in his late twenties with dark hair, medium build approximately 145–155 lbs. and about 5'08" tall. He was wearing business casual clothing, light tan slacks and a light gray polo-style shirt at the time of the visit. Taking times directly from video security recordings, he arrived at 4:53 PM and rang the doorbell – that would be the one 4 inches below the prominent sign that reads: "No Soliciting."
Mr. ** did not identify himself by name, but was wearing a Cox contractor's badge on his belt that displayed his name and that name was later verified by the officer that responded to my contact. He briefly began the conversation by inquiring about the reception quality and our level of satisfaction with Cox's service. I confirmed there were no difficulties and we were satisfied with the arrangement and had recently had a representative install tuner cards in a new TiVo and checked levels and settings on the entire system.
For the next six minutes I finally had to close the door on him to get him to leave (shown at 4:59:40 PM on the recording), he attempted to promote Internet service, phone service, the Cox-type TIVO and so forth. I repeatedly declined specifically stating that I already had five Tivos, we were satisfied with our I.P. provider, we had the on-demand service that met our requirements and I specifically did not want Cox phone service.
I finally told Mr. **, firmly, "NO", and that I had specifically notified Cox we did not want any solicitation by phone or otherwise and that he was in violation of Irvine civil code that forbids solicitation from anyone without an appointment when "No Soliciting" signs (we have TWO clearly visible) are posted. He insisted that since we were a Cox customer, that didn't apply. The local ordinance most certainly DOES apply — even more so than us notifying Cox that we do not want solicitations, which we have done.
Not only does Cox not honor our request, but their contractor is going to stand there on my doorstep and ARGUE with me that he has every right to intentionally bother us after I have FOUR TIMES IN A ROW told him I was NOT INTERESTED and did NOT want to make any changes!
After I closed the door I contacted the police. Aside from being annoying and persistent this representative is in clear violation of Irvine Municipal code 2-10-903 which reads: "No person shall, without prior appointment, solicit, canvass or peddle upon premises which are posted with a sign or signs stating in substance that solicitors, canvassers or peddlers are not permitted. Ord. No. 49, § 2, 10-10-72; Code 1976, § II. M-1803". The police inquired if I knew which direction the man was going (door-to-door) when he left and I said I didn't notice but I'd check. When I located him he noticed me and gave me an odd, questioning look.
I answered the unspoken inquiry by telling him that I was very displeased with his persistence and I had called the police so that they could explain the ordinance to him for clarification. He responded by taking out his cell phone and telling me "don't bother" – that HE was going to call the police to tell them he had, quote: "some kind of pedophile following him". Those are his exact words.
So not only is this representative obnoxiously persist and disregards our privacy, the local ordinances regarding his visit, my subsequent repeated request to be left alone, but he is insulting and defamatory. Customers should not have to put up with this kind of thing.
From the get I should have known this company was a crock of you know what. Not only does every website that offers reviews have horrible horrible things to say about it, but I've even encountered some of their own employees who dislike their job. Unfortunately for us and where we live there are no other cable companies in the area YET. So we have no choice but to stick with these scumbags or not watch TV, and have Internet.
When we first called, I spoke to a man who sounded like he knew his stuff. We told them of offers other companies were trying to sell (not telling them we have no choice but to go with them), and this man offered us a deal. A "bundle" if you will. So for the "fastest Internet, DVR boxes, movie channels, and more" our deal was 89.00. No contract. SO we said SOLD. He then transfers me to someone in a different STATE... who clearly stated he could not help me (NOW remember this last bit of info because this transfer to another state will play a crucial part into my fiasco with these people)...
The man then transferred me back to a Cox representative in my area... NOT the same man as the first time naturally. So this employee then tells me the "DEAL" we offered doesn't exists. AT ALL. So we said, "OK well what can you do." He offered us the basic package I assume. Internet, and cable. ALL movie channels for the first 3 months, and then after only HBO for 100.00 a month. We said fine. Now it's time to get our stuff, meaning cable box, remote, all that jazz.
We go to a Cox building, get our stuff, set everything up, and something's not right. The picture wasn't coming in correctly. So we called. They sent someone out who told us they gave us FAULTY WIRES. Lovely. He fixed it and went on his way. Time to sit, relax and watch TV with my family. NOT... think again.
We turn on the TV and we have channels 10 through maybe 36... without ones in between. I call. They say this was a misunderstanding, and they would reset our box. Which they did. Turn on the TV... NO MOVIE CHANNELS. So I call AGAIN. They tell me there was something wrong with the reception and I will have the movie channels shortly. SHORTLY meaning in about a week because that's how long it took.
Turn on the TV rather anxious to watch my movie channels. And all we have is HBO. (I am NOT kidding you people.) I call. AGAIN. They explain to me how sorry they are and they will fix the problem. Within 24 hrs I had my movie channels, and was a happy camper.
Now it's time for our first bill... 176.00!!! I call. At this point these people should know me on a first name basis. They say I am being charged for having the guy come out to fix our wires!!! And also THE MOVIE CHANNELS. Now... we hadn't even had COX for more than 48 hrs when this "guy" came out... so with that being said they credited our account. As well as the movie channel mishap. First bill is now 98.00. Thank you. For the following 3 months bill is about anywhere between 98- 105. Perfect.
Here we are now... July 2010. I am starting to notice some weird activity on my personal bank account. 10 dollars here, 5 dollars here, 20 dollars here. So I call my bank and they say all they see is it's a Tech Support company who works with Cox out of Florida. I am from New England... not even close to Florida. So I call up the lovely, most welcoming, understanding people at Cox. HA. They inform me that they do not HAVE A TECH SUPPORT TEAM, and they do not know how this could have happened. And when I say this is all they said to me... THAT IS ALL THEY SAID TO ME! That's it.
I called my bank who informed me there had indeed been fraud on my account. These people in Florida had mine and my husband's personal information including SSN. Thankfully, my bank went quickly into action and credited my account all money due back to me. Totaling in at over 100.00.
I call Cox back and get pretty nasty with them cause now... after everything else that I had kind of gotten over you people steal my personal information! I had to get a whole new bank account. And you know how that goes. Everything came out of that account. So I had to call my mortgage company, my credit cards, EVERYONE to stop payments. The women whom I spoke to informed me this would be looked into and how sorry they are.
Here we are... August 16, 2010. Have not heard a THING back from COX. Not even a call as to how things are. But my bank has made about 7 to me. Get my bill for this month it's 140.00. Call up for when I tell you the millionth time - I kid you not. They inform me that it went up because the "PACKAGE" we were offered expired. We were never offered a package. We were told 100.00 a month no contract for a year.
It's been about 5 months, although it feels like an eternity. So here I am thinking that after the stress, the BS, and what not they would offer me maybe something. At this point I would take a coupon to Dunkin Donuts. ANYTHING. They had nothing. Nothing to say. Nothing to offer. Nothing to comment on. NOTHING. NOT A THING!
I am disgusted with this company, and it's lucky for them my husband and family enjoy their TV time and we cannot leave because FiOS isn't in our area, but when that day comes we will be sure to say ADIOS to this waste of a company. Please people BEWARE of this company. Beware of who you talk to. And keep an eye on all accounts.
I was told this was an inside job from my bank. They told me an investigation is underway on their end with several employees from Cox, and that Cox has not cooperated with them in any way. SO please. Times are tough. And the world is a rude rude place. Read reviews before you purchase anything cause I would hate to see this happen to anyone else. Thanks for your time and I hope my experience helps others when deciding in a cable company.
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- This is only my point of view of this major communications conglomerate, but with that being said, I believe they should be brought up on charges. If you take anything from this tale, it should be "DO NOT SIGN UP FOR AUTOPAY WITH COX!"
My story starts in a rather benign way with purchasing COX Communications to supply my TV and internet access to my household. I have had them for years since they were my only choice. (Can we say monopoly?) Only recently my husband and I reviewed our bill to find that we were paying a lot more and getting way less compared to various new satellite communication companies.
We thought what could be better than getting more and paying less in this newly monetarily restrictive climate. Making the decision to change from COX to Satellite TV we made the calls and settled on a new provider. All that was left was to call COX and cancel. Sounds simple enough, right?
Here is where COX's dark noxious cloud settled over our household. On a Saturday afternoon, after 5 PM, I called COX to cancel my account. They tried to argue that I never called in to complain about the service so why should they need to cancel my service. Working in a service industry, this was absurd to me! Why would I need to justify my dislike of a product to get it canceled? I don't want it any more… I have moved on… this is a break up and no we can not be friends… this it is in my right to cancel?
After the COX representative forced me to come up with some bogus answer involving conspiracy theories, aliens and the need to wear tinfoil hats, she finally let me cancel the service. [This reason for canceling was for my amusement only; we all know aliens come through the toaster. ;)] I had five days to return their battered cable boxes and I would even be getting a refund of $75 for part of the month.
Monday morning, I got up and doing my usual Monday routine I grabbed coffee and got on line to read the news and check my bank account. The need for coffee became no longer needed when I found that COX had gone into my checking and withdrew over $600 for no viable reason. After getting the household off to summer camp and work I got on the phone with COX to ask them the ever elusive question of "what the hell!"
After speaking with a high number of doltish moronic representatives I was finally transferred to the credit department. The credit departments response boils down to "Oops, so sorry, this debit is our fault, but we will refund your money in 5 to 7 days." It has always amazed me how they can withdraw funds overnight but it takes an act of congress to put the stolen money back.
It is now Wednesday and still the account sits empty of the $600+ so I being proactive decide to call them and check on the progress. The all new doltish representative tells me they are waiting on the collection of the cable boxes to even process the "Oops, so sorry, this debit is our fault, but we will refund your money in 5 to 7 days" deposit.
When I exclaim, in a slightly panicked and pissed off state, you have your stupid boxes and remotes I am once again placed on hold. After what felt like 10 minutes, she came back with the comment of "Oh, here they are. We can process your refund now." It is everything I can do to maintain my composure and not release a tirade of expletives and adjectives that would probably just make her ears bleed.
Now, maybe to you $600+ is not that much money but to our household it was to cover groceries, gasoline and the power bill for the house let alone a little bit a cushion till payday. Now I find myself pawing through the pantry looking for anything I can put together and call dinner (in the loosest sense of the word) and coasting the best I can if I have to drive anywhere to save every drop of gas I can till either COX replaces the money they stole or payday, which ever comes first. Thank you for reading my rant and I hope at the very least you do not sign up for autopay with COX. (Or cancel before it's too late).
Last week, we turned on the TV and noticed there was no sound. The picture was there but the sound wasn't. We turned to a few other channels. A few had sound, a few didn't. So I called Cox and they said they had just done an upgrade and walked me through fixing the settings on the TV so that all channels had sound.
On Monday, my brother turned on the TV and discovered that some of the channels weren't showing a picture. I called Cox again and they said it was our signal and they said they needed to send a tech out. Their tech came to the house the next day, but the problem had fixed itself. All he did was turn the TV on and all the channels were fine. He said there was no charge and left. Last night, I logged into their website to pay the bill and saw a $49.95 charge for sending the tech out. The guy didn't fix anything! So I called Cox and the CSR said they always charge a fee to send someone out. She wouldn't waive the fee. I asked to speak to a manager.
The manager came on and I explained that the tech didn't do anything so why should we have to pay? She said she'd waive the fee if we bought insurance for $5 a month. I put my sister in law on the phone and she explained all the problems we had been having since their upgrade. The manager still refused to waive the fee unless we bought insurance. My sis in law said to cancel our service. The manager put her on hold.
After 20 minutes of waiting, my sis in law handed the phone to me in frustration. After another 5 minutes, someone came back on the line. It wasn't the manager it was a CSR! The manager had put me back to customer service. I explained my situation to the representative and asked to speak to a manager. The representative was very nice and put me through to a wonderful woman in their Retention Department. I explained for the fourth time what had happened.
The woman was very apologetic for everything that had happened. She said the tech didn't write any notes when he came to the house so she was taking my word that he didn't do anything and she waived the $50 fee. I thanked her and told her not to cancel the service. An hour later, the picture went out on all channels. I called Cox AGAIN and spoke to someone in technical support. The representative reset the system from his computer and all the channels started working. Now why didn't they just do that the first time I called on Monday?
Overall I am happy that I got the fee waived and the channels fixed. I just hate getting the runaround. I am glad Cox did the right thing in the end and they have kept me as a customer.

Farrell will rotate DH spot while Ortiz is out
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- With David Ortiz all but certain to spend the early portion of the season on the disabled list, manager John Farrell indicated that the Red Sox will probably use a committee of designated hitters during the slugger's absence.
"Those conversations are starting," said Farrell, "and it's just talking about the combination of guys who might be in a bench slot to more regular at-bats DH-wise. We're by no means at a point of saying, 'This is who our DH is going to be or this is who else is going to be on the roster,' but those conversations are happening more in earnest."
Daniel Nava, Lyle Overbay, Mike Carp, Ryan Sweeney, Brock Holt and Pedro Ciriaco are all players battling for roster spots and perhaps at-bats while Ortiz is out of the mix.
"We envision it as being a little bit of a rotation, so not to say one person would be strictly a DH," Farrell said. "That's an initial approach. To say that it would be a drastic shift to a player's routine or staying loose in between at-bats to what they might not otherwise be accustomed to, we haven't pinpointed one guy. We don't have another David Ortiz."
There are still too many moving parts for Farrell to have a clear idea of what his lineup will look like during Ortiz's temporary absence.
"Again, we've got competition that's going on in camp," Farrell said. "We've got probably three or four different options and combinations that we can fill that out with. Obviously it's a good question, but until we know who that personnel is, we'll respond accordingly."

Dental and Oral Health (Seniors)
Infection or inflammation?
After a dental procedure, I experience continuing pain in the treated area of my mouth. It has not gone away after several weeks. The pain does not seem to be in the tooth itself, but rather in the bone above it. I`m not sure if I have an infection, or an inflammation, or something else. My dentist, whom I respect, is herself not totally certain of the reason for the pain, which is why I am writing. If it were an infection, I would probably take antibiotics. But I am not sure what to do about an inflammation, since I am not able to take aspirin or NSAIDs.
My questions are how can one tell the difference between an infection and an inflammation? And if it is an inflammation, what other treatments would be recommended, as alternatives to aspirin and NSAIDs? Thanks for your guidance.
You may get a second opinion about infection or inflammation. However, atypical odontolgia also known as atypical facial pain often occurs in a similar setting that you are experiencing. Once a persistent infection is ruled out, you may need to be seen by a Pain specialist.

Topic: GGT Markers?
Hi all,
I recently had routine bloodwork done for life insurance, and the only high number I have is for GGT. When I looked it up, it said it referred to liver or BILE DUCT disease. My level was 116 and normal is supposed to be under 65. There are no other indications of anything wrong, and I'm not a worrywart, but I'm a bit concerned since my mother had BDC. I've never heard anyone mention GGT levels, but hear a lot about ALT or something. Anyone have knowledge, or does anyone track, GGT levels? Thanks-

Deceased Husband Wins Valentine's Day With Romantic Gesture From Beyond the Grave
For 46 years, Sue Johnston had a pretty good idea what she'd be getting on Valentine's Day. Each February 14 her husband John would give her a bouquet of flowers with a note that read "My love for you grows."
Sadly, John passed away two years ago in April. 10 months later, Johnston received Valentine's Day flowers from somebody named John. At first she thought it was a cruel joke.

Used for a wide variety of applications, including product design and manufacturing, SolidWorks is currently one of the most popular CAD packages on the market, and we're very proud to have finished our first SolidWorks course this month.
In SolidWorks 2012 Essential Training, author Gabriel Corbett shows how to create manufacturing-ready parts and assemblies in SolidWorks 2012. Beginning with simple 2D sketching and the software's sketch-editing tools, the course provides step-by-step instruction on building 3D geometry from 2D sketches. In addition, the course also covers creating complex 3D objects with the Extrude, Revolve, Sweep, and Loft tools, and shows the process of building complex assemblies by mating individual parts together into robust assemblies and structures.
Diving deeper into the course you'll find tutorials that discuss generating manufacturing-ready drawings complete with an itemized Bill of Materials, cutting and revolving holes, and using the Hole Wizard tool to generate industry standard holes like counter bores, counter sinks, and taps. The course concludes with Gabriel showing you how to photo render a final design.
If you have any interest in SolidWorks, this course is a great way to start learning more about this popular CAD tool.
In this movie from chapter seven of the SolidWorks 2012 Essential Training course, Gabriel describes how to extrude your sketches and turn them into 3D solid objects using Solidworks 2012:

It probably means to not generalize your own difficulty with sexuality what should and should not be. Celibacy is not for everyone and to take the Catholic stance that every act of coition must be open to the possibility of conception is to be insensitive.befriend wrote:whats that mean?
befriend wrote:as i slowly find more and more happiness in renunciation and loosely following the 8 precepts, i am beginning to think contraception may be unwholsome.
as i think sex for recreation is as buddha said a low act performed by common people. didnt he say that.
modern medicine views sex as being healthy, and a great release of stress.
this is because no one practices voluntary celibacy in our society.
the health benefits of voluntary celibacy are vast. your intelligence your well being your energy, your health. yogis for thousands of years have thought celibacy to be a main staple of there spiritual and physical well being.
so ive also noticed the less i look at girls cleavage or whatever the less lust arises. where does lust come from? focusing on beauty. ive stopped looking at womens bodies even when i watch tv i look away, its like i stopped feuling the fire.
so i come back to my initial point. why do you think there are so many STD's?
is this not the universe telling us something about recreational sex?
wouldnt the world be a better place, if we all had sex only for procreation.
this would stop aids pretty much.
i dont know its incredibly good karma to refrain from sexual activity, the same cant be said for having sex.
thoughts? metta, befriend.

Sucks for the Nuggets. Looks like this 2003 draft class wants to have their cake and eat it too
Wonder if the Nuggets try to rebuild or get talent now to help Billups?Carmelo Anthony and the Nuggets are heading to an inevitable split, according to sources.
Anthony is weighing whether to sign a three-year, $65 million extension offered by the Nuggets, but his dilemma is deciding the best way to move on from his time in Denver.
Anthony could agree to an extension under the premise that the Nuggets will trade him, or he can leave the franchise next summer as a free agent.
In either case, "he's going to make it real clear that he's not coming back," said one league source.
Anthony's agent, Leon Rose, could not be reached for comment and the Nuggets declined to comment.

SANTA CRUZ - A 28-year-old man with a long history of drug addiction and theft offenses was sentenced Tuesday to a two-year residential treatment program and told that he has a prison sentence waiting in the wings if he fails to shake his "raging heroin addiction."
Jacob Lucas Matara was arrested July 12 after crashing a stolen vehicle on Highway 17 near Pasatiempo and then fleeing the scene. He wracked up nine charges from that incident, including hit-and-run, driving while on medication (Oxycontin), driving on a suspended license, possession of marijuana and violating probation.
Tuesday, Judge Paul Burdick noted Matara's lengthy history of theft and drug abuse and said he believed his issues would be best addressed by a long-term residential treatment program. Burdick said Delancey Street Foundation in San Francisco was the most stringent one he knew and Matara's attorney, Allen Cave, said that program had accepted him. Burdick said Matara would also get job training there.
Burdick set aside a 2004 burglary conviction for sentencing purposes, which could have doubled Matara's sentence. He told him he would be sent to prison for three years and eight months if he failed at Delancey Street.
Prosecutor Johanna Schonfield said she did not disagree with the disposition, but asked that he get no credit for time spent in drug treatment if he doesn't complete it. Burdick agreed, and he set a numbing amount of restrictions, fines and restitution conditions.
"Good luck, Mr. Matara," Burdick told him. "You are going to seal your own fate."
Matara, standing beside his attorney, nodded.
Outside court, Cave said his client was from Orange County and that he wasn't sure what brought him to Santa Cruz.

Today's 2 p.m. matinee preview performance (Wednesday, November 14) of the new Broadway musical Scandalous: The Life and Trials of Aimee Semple McPherson has been canceled. Leading lady and two-time Tony Award nominee Carolee Carmello has been sidelined with vocal fatigue, and by doctor's orders has been placed on a brief vocal rest.
Carmello, whose performance as famed twentieth-century evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson leaves her with a total of only eleven minutes offstage during each two-hour-fifteen-minute performance, is currently expected to return to the production on Wednesday evening.
Listed as understudies for Carmello are Alison Luff and Billie Wildrick, but there is no word as to the status of understudy rehearsals.
Tickets purchased for the matinee through Ticketmaster via phone or internet will be refunded to credit cards automatically within 7-10 business days.
Tickets purchased at the Neil Simon Theatre Box Office should be returned to the box office in-person. Patrons have the option of receiving a full refund to the original method of payment or exchanging your tickets for an alternate date, subject to availability.
Tickets purchased through any other sales channel should be returned to the original point of purchase for more information.
Previews of Scandalous are expected to resume with the 8 p.m. performance on Wednesday evening at the Neil Simon Theatre (250 West 52nd Street).

Lipscomb Student Earns Perfect SAT Score
A Lipscomb Academy student has accomplished something very few nationwide can claim: a perfect SAT score.
Han Na Kim, a senior, was born in Korea and has been at Lipscomb Academy for seven years. Kim took the SAT in February and scored a 2180. She and her parents thought she could earn a better score, so she bought a study guide and took practice tests.
"Every time I sit down to crack a book or take a test, I pray. I'm not doing this for myself or my parents; academia is an area I can honor God with and studying here in America is a huge blessing," said Kim.
She took the SAT for the second time in October, this time earning a perfect 2400.
In 2012, 1.6 million students nationwide sat down to take the nearly 4 hour exam that tests aptitude in mathematics, science and reading. Only 360 students earned a perfect 2400.
Kim says when she saw her scores she was in disbelief. "It just doesn't seem real, I have had this burden of trying to figure out how to pay for college and now I feel like I can apply and have a chance at a prestigious school. I know this is one of the ways God is providing for me."
Han Na, who earned a nearly perfect 35 on the ACT and is enrolled in two advanced placement courses and a dual enrollment class through Lipscomb University, is undecided on a college, though she is leaning towards education as a major.
"Han Na Kim is a motivated, dedicated, intelligent and involved young lady. I have had the privilege of teaching Han Na for the past two years in honors and AP chemistry courses. She is very committed to always doing her best at everything that she does," said Kristi Reynolds, Lipscomb Academy chemistry teacher.
"Han Na's perfect score on the SAT is a testimony to her diligence as a student and her level of intellect. In addition to being a brilliant student, Han Na would receive very high marks in respect for others, integrity, having a servant heart, faithfulness to God, and possessing a humble and grateful spirit. We celebrate this level of excellence for her and greatly appreciate her example to other students and her contributions to the learning environment at Lipscomb Academy," said Lipscomb Academy Headmaster, Dr. Mike Hammond.
In her free time, the National Merit Semifinalist likes to play the flute, the piano, and has recently discovered skateboarding.

Darvish to stay in turn for now
SEATTLE -- The Rangers have decided to give pitcher Yu Darvish an extra day of rest. With the off-day on Thursday, the Rangers had the option of having him pitch on his normal four days' rest and start on Monday against the Athletics. Instead he will still pitch Tuesday.
Darvish threw 117 pitches in a 6-0 victory over the Marlins on Wednesday. He ended up going nine innings for his first complete game in the Major Leagues.
Manager Ron Washington said the Rangers may push up Darvish after Tuesday's start. The Rangers are off next Thursday as well and Darvish may pitch on four days' rest so he can face the Angels on Sunday night in Anaheim.
"It just depends on his workload," Washington said.
Darvish has become more economical with his pitches. He is averaging 15.1 pitches per inning this season, down from 16.5 in each of the past two years.
"He has held up well," Washington said. "He really hasn't exerted himself. I don't think he exerted himself the other night. Except for the first few innings, I thought he breezed."

Gattis serving as cleanup hitter, primary catcher
MIAMI -- Two weeks ago, Evan Gattis was not sure if he was going to begin the season at the Major League level. Now he finds himself targeted to spend at least the next two weeks as the Braves' cleanup hitter and starting catcher.
With first baseman Freddie Freeman sidelined until at least April 22 with a strained right oblique muscle, the Braves have determined Gattis is the player best-suited to fill the cleanup spot. So, instead of sharing the catching duties with Gerald Laird, Gattis will now serve as the team's primary catcher. He made his third consecutive start in Tuesday night's game against the Marlins, and hit a two-run homer in his first at-bat.
"Maybe we go two-to-one or three-to-one with Gattis, because he can fill that four-hole spot for you," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "Now if all of the sudden we start clicking on all cylinders, maybe we can go back to one-and-one or two-and-two or every-other-one."
The veteran Laird will definitely be behind the plate during all of rookie pitcher Julio Teheran's starts.
The Braves will have a decision to make when Brian McCann returns from right shoulder surgery. The six-time All-Star catcher is not expected to be activated from the disabled list before the last week of April.
When McCann returns, Laird will likely continue to serve as the backup catcher. This decision will be influenced by the Braves' desire for Gattis to get as many at-bats as possible. So, the question is whether it would be better to keep him as a backup outfielder/third catcher or send him to Triple-A Gwinnett to play catcher on an everyday basis.

First, isoflavones have been studied extensively and are a great alternative for women who can't or do not wish to take HRT. In addition to menopausal benefits, studies on large Asian populations have shown that isoflavones may play a role in cancer prevention, cardiovascular health, and bone and mineral metabolism. Isoflavones have been shown to have many estrogen-like effects in the body, but without estrogen's risks! There appears to be no negative effects on breast or uterine tissue and no apparent risk of blood clots or migraines.
Black cohosh is another popular natural treatment for many menopausal symptoms. Numerous studies on the standardized extract containing 27-deoxyacteine, have repeatedly shown its clinical benefit without any safety issues. The research on the menopausal benefits of black cohosh is even stronger than for isoflavones! Again, this is a great alternative for women who can't or do not wish to take HRT.

White-tailed kites, red-tailed hawks, northern shovelers, mallards, shore birds, songbirds, sparrows, herons and egrets.
Exotic, some might say. Stunning, others would agree. This is an opportune time to get a view of the wild birds - many resting from their Pacific Flyway journeys in the former Hellman Ranch section of the Los Cerritos Wetlands in Seal Beach.
In this area, the birds generally rest at Los Cerritos Wetlands - a sprawling area that stretches on both sides of the San Gabriel River, both in Long Beach and Seal Beach.
The area is monitored by environmentalists, including El Dorado Audubon members
Recently, the Audubon members participated in the National Audubon Society's 112th Christmas Bird Count, from Dec. 14 through Jan. 5.
Thousands of volunteers throughout the Americas documented their sightings.
El Dorado's count circle - the area that would be combed by about 50 volunteer bird counters - is 15 miles in diameter and includes beaches, part of the Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge, San Gabriel River, Los Angeles River, parks and golf courses, said Audubon activist Mary Parsell.
Total species seen this year were 159, Parsell said.
"It shows the wonderful diversity of avian species," she added.
The volunteers were armed with binoculars and notebooks.
"The count makes an enormous contribution to conservation," Parsell said, adding that the Audubon Society and other organizations use the "robust data base" collected in the longest-running wildlife census to assess the health of bird populations - and to help guide conservation action.
Gum Grove park in Seal Beach, nestled adjacent to the former Hellman Ranch, "is just as good a place to see the migration birds," Parsell said.
For details about El Dorado Audubon's bird walks and natural science programs, visit www.eldoradoaudubon.org. El Dorado Audubon's mission is preservation of native birds and their habitats and education about them to members and the community.
Restricting flights
Congressman Dana Rohrabacher held a recent meeting at Seal Beach City Hall to discuss limiting flights over Old Town.
Federal Aviation Administration and Long Beach Airport representatives were at the meeting, according to Ellery Deaton, 1st District councilwoman for Old Town and Surfside.
"Rohrabacher was very firm in telling the FAA that we don't want the planes coming over Old Town when there is the whole Naval Weapons Station to fly over," Deaton reported in a recent newsletter.
The meeting resulted in a short-term resolution and a long-term, permanent solution.
The short-term resolution is to have a Letter of Agreement, signed by the FAA, the Long Beach tower and the airlines, all agreeing that pilots are to fly further south "to an agreed upon coordinate that will bring them in over the Navy base," Deaton reported.
The longterm solution is to establish a "charted visual approach" for landing at Long Beach, directing the air traffic across the Naval Weapons Station rather than Old Town, Deaton added.

German, which is given by the university's World Languages department
for the best student in the study of German. In 2011, she was inducted
into Phi Sigma Iota, as well as Phi Kappa Phi, the nation's oldest and
largest honor society dedicated to excellence in all academic pursuits.
Earlier this year, DeBaldo received a scholarship
to attend the Ohio Foreign Language Association Conference in Columbus,
where she attended conferences related to her interest in teaching
German. In both 2010 and 2012, she studied at Passau University in
Germany, in both a semester-long program and a summer language immersion
At Muskingum, DeBaldo was involved in the German
Club and the university's Phi Sigma Iota chapter. In addition, she was a
resident of the university's German House and was actively engaged with
both German- and Spanish-speaking students who have travelled to
Muskingum from abroad.
DeBaldo has just completed her student teaching
assignment at Tri-Valley High School and will graduate from Muskingum on
May 11. She plans to pursue a career teaching German.
Her faculty advisor in German is Professor of German Dr. Franz-Joseph Wehage.

text: What makes this photo of the Ducati 1199 Panigale different from the previous 60 or so? Well, it's a pretty good close up of the fairing, sans Post-It Note camo, this bike is wearing SBK-spec suspension, the tail looks as ridiculously pointy as ever and the tank appears to make room for some KTM RC8-esque sliders. That's not a huge amount of bike for something making 195bhp, but at 395lbs (wet), it's not ever going to be considered large.

The End of the Line V tee is our classic long sleeve crew neck tee. Made of 100% cotton, this piece is comfortable and durable, which is great because it will become a fast favorite. The full-color screen print decoration of official Tennessee Titans name and logo make it clear who you're rooting for, and the contrast stripes from the neckline down the sleeves ups the cool factor of this tee.
