Operation Retrieve
Redirected from Sector 21399
this wiki
Operation Retrieve was the code name of a mission proposed by Starfleet Colonel West upon the arrest of Captain James T. Kirk and Doctor Leonard McCoy for the assassination of Chancellor Gorkon in 2293. It was devised, in light of increasing tensions between the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire, to extricate the officers from their captivity by military force.
[show]The operation Edit
The details of the operation involved a direct incursion by several starships launched from Starbase 24 to the penal world of Rura Penthe, well within Klingon territory, and was expected to last no more than 24 hours with an acceptable loss to equipment and manpower.
The plan was vetoed by the Federation President as it would have most likely provoked the Klingon Empire into a full scale war. The operation was subsequently proven to be unnecessary, as the USS Enterprise-A entered Klingon space without authorization from Starfleet and retrieved Kirk and McCoy from the planet. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)
Name | Registry | Class | Chart Silhouette |
USS Ahwahnee | NCC-2048 | Unknown | Constitution-class |
USS Eagle | NCC-956 | Unknown | Constitution-class |
USS Emden | NCC-1856 | Unknown | Constitution-class |
USS Endeavour | NCC-1895 | Unknown | Constitution-class |
USS Excelsior | NCC-2000 | Excelsior-class | Excelsior-class |
USS Potemkin | NCC-1657 | Constitution-class | Constitution-class |
Star chartEdit
Appendices Edit
Background information Edit
The Operation Retrieve briefing material had a fourth page that was never seen on-screen, and is reproduced to the right. [1]
Sector 21166 was identified by name on the star chart "Starfleet Operations - Sector 21166-22079" in 2367. (TNG: "The Mind's Eye")
The mission charts were created by Graphic Designer Michael Okuda, who years later elaborated on the origins of the ship's names and registry numbers:
"If I recall correctly, the charts visible on film/video listed only ship names and registry numbers. One can probably glean some class designations from the ship icons in the diagrams. I don't have the original art handy (I think it's archived on Syquest disks, which I don't have the ability to read, even if I could find the disks themselves), but I recall giving the info to Bjo Trimble, and I'm pretty sure she used most of it in her revised Star Trek Concordance. I might note that some of the ship registry numbers came from Greg Jein's interpretation of the starship chart in Commodore Stone's office in "Shore Leave" (TOS). Other registry numbers came from Franz Joseph's Star Fleet Technical Manual or his Starship blueprints. In still other cases, the ships and/or numbers did not come from either source, but were consistent with some fleet status charts I did elsewhere on the USS Enterprise-A in Star Trek VI. (In other words, there's something that just about everyone will disagree with, but I also hoped that there would be at least something that almost everyone would agree with.) I should also point out that I prepared several charts for the rescue briefing scene, and that not all of them ended up in the final cut of the film. I don't recall which ones were used, or which ones ended up unseen. I do seem to recall that there was at least one chart that had quite a number of registries - mostly, I recall, from FJ's work - that ended up unused." [2]The names listed in the roster of commanding officers, excepting that of Sulu, were all but one those of production staffers who had been working on The Undiscovered Country at the time. The one exception was on personal title as Okuda included a Captain D. Tathwell, which was the maiden name of his future wife Denise, who, at the time, was the one not yet working for the live-action franchise.
Okuda's remark regarding "Jein's interpretation" concerned the latter's influential "The Case of Jonathan Doe Starship"-article, Jein had written years earlier for a fanzine and in which he had postulated a starship registries numbering system. As Okuda has since then strictly adhered to Jein's interpretation, it was stark indication that he had only became aware of Jein's article during the time he was working on The Undiscovered Country. At the time, Jein had by then become the regular studio model vendor for Star Trek: The Next Generation, befriending Okuda, and was cooperating with him (as was his future wife Denise) on his reference work, Star Trek Chronology, which was in development at the time.

These are my 2 favorite events for a LONG TIME, men and ice dance. And I am watching this sport for about...40 y. The ladies are depressing me, when i see so many poor techincal programs, splatfaest being an appropiate word. never understood what the fans are able to write and debate so much about it. Very few ladies are rising up to the occassion usually. But in men skating, they are bringing nthe goods more times than not and the field is usually deep in every event. And dance whad alwaysa special place in my heart, as I love watching dancing on the floor and on the ice.
That's my boy!"That shows the importance of [good] practices," he said. "The judges know I can do the program. It shows they want me to do well. That's good to know; it definitely cheered me up a little bit."
But Patrick, even Joubert and Plushenko -- those no transitions, no choreography nonenties -- have had some good practices."That shows the importance of [good] practices."
But you didn't.The judges know I can do the program."
But you didn't."It shows they want me to do well."
I think you were misquoted here, Pat. I think what you actually said was, "I have a lot of hard work before me. My goal this season is to deliver clean programs.""That's good to know; it definitely cheered me up a little bit."
That way you can cheer yourself up, and you don't have to depend on being cheered up by the judges.
I found these to be very insightful posts - thanks! Again, I really think the quality of chan's skating is astonishingly good; but I don't like that three falls in a short program - no matter how great the rest is, can be correctly added up to a score in contention of the podium. I agree with another poster whose post I cannot find that that feeling is probably a left over from the 6.0 system. So guilty as charged. but i think blades of passion has pointed to a probelm in the scoring system itself - one that was rightly corrected, another that remains to be debated if not fixed.
I often hear CoP fans say that 6.0 was bad because if you had a poor SP you were all but eliminated from the podium.
Hope many will enjoy Patrick's medal at this event - which never would have happened under 6.0.
Too much fuss is being made over a few mistakes. This scoring system rewards differently than 6.0 where three mistakes in the technical program would eliminate a skater from the podium.
It's about points - there is no technical program and freeskate anymore. There are two programs with one being longer than the other.
Look for Patrick to battle it out with Oda tonight for the Gold with Rippon for the bronze.
It's about the points - and it doesn't matter how you get them.

[QUOTE=janetfan;524031....It's about the points - and it doesn't matter how you get them.[/QUOTE]
It matters if the judges hold someone up. I am waiting to see the protocols, but the classic statement is that you should not get rewarded for what you have done in the past, but rather for what you do on that particular day when you compete. Otherwise, it's just points for reputation, and CoP was supposed to do away with that. The PCS given Patrick, therefore, already disturbs me. Canada was the participant that kept demanding fairness in the judging; that is what brought about CoP in the first place.
Sure! It's intertaining!
I Can't blame Skate Canada at all. Sorry, but the judges (not Canadians) love to kiss SC's feet. What can you do?
Even Chan's defenders have felt some degree of unjustice here. I don't see it goes on like this forever. I'm wondering if CoP or the judges are pushing the envelope which could trigger further changes soon.
Well if the judging panel was made up entirely of Canadians you would have a good point.
Looking at Patrick's score - which is more than respectable - it appears most of the judges decided he was pretty good.
If he lands most of his jumps tonight he will probably win - unless Oda drops one of his 4x3x3's that we have been seeing in practice.
Sadly, I can see the totally unfair scenario happening tonight that if Chan and Oda are both clean, Patrick will still come out on top despite his SP blowout. I know it's a total longshot that Pat would ever skate a clean LP though, as that hasn't happened since the 2008 Canadians I believe.
It won't matter if Chan isn't clean and Oda is---Chan will probably win anyway, if the judges boost the PCS high enough.

The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational drug lirilumab that can be given safely with nivolumab in patients with advanced solid tumors that are no longer responding to standard therapies.
Nivolumab works by attaching to and blocking a molecule called PD-1. Lirilumab attaches to and blocks a group of molecules called KIR. PD-1 and KIR are proteins present mainly on immune system cells, and each controls part of the immune system by shutting it down. It is hoped that by binding to and inactivating these proteins, this drug combination can enhance the body's ability to detect and destroy cancer cells.
Nivolumab is approved for treating melanoma and some metastatic squamous cell lung cancers; its use for treating other cancers is considered investigational.
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:
For more information about this study and to inquire about eligibility, please contact the office of Dr. Neil H. Segal at 646-888-4187.

By Pure Matters
Over the past three decades, children started drinking more carbonated soft drinks and non-citrus food drinks and less water and milk. Here are some disturbing facts about soft drinks.
- Soft drinks don't satisfy the appetite, so preteens and teens tend to eat a normal amount of food in addition to the calories they take in through soda.
- Many soft drinks contain phosphoric acid, which may lead to a loss of calcium. (This is a double whammy, because preteens and teens who drink soda aren't getting the calcium they need from milk.)
- Non-diet soft drinks contain high-fructose corn syrup. This sweetener may be associated with an increase in metabolic syndrome -- a precursor to diabetes -- in teens
What should be the drink of champions among kids? Water or milk. To add more pizzazz to plain water, buy low-calorie favored water or make your own with lemon or lime. Steer your kids toward skim or 1-percent milk. Preschools need three cups of milk every day. In addition to calcium, fortified milk is a great source of protein, and vitamins A and D. Stick with pure citrus juice (orange and grapefruit, calcium fortified but without added sugar). It contains high amounts of vitamin C. Although many children love apple juice, it is high in natural sugar and excessive amounts may cause diarrhea. Limit the amount or dilute it with water.
An 8-ounce serving of apple juice contains about 120 calories. Other juices rank even higher: grape juice (155 calories), cranberry juice (145) and pineapple (140). Orange juice has 109 calories per 8 ounces.
Calories aren't the only problem. Dentists say too many sugary drinks of any kind can cause cavities. Most of these drinks do not contain calcium, either, which is important for building strong bones and teeth.
How much your child should drink depends on climate and season. When it's hot, kids need more fluids because they lose more perspiring and breathing; they may need a drink even if they're not thirsty. Experts recommend they get the daily equivalent of six to eight 8-ounce cups of fluids, especially water -- more if they're out in the heat.

Missy Franklin didn't need to worry about Justin Bieber jeopardizing her NCAA eligibility.
On Wednesday, we shared the story of how the Olympic gold medalist returned a care package from Bieber due to fears that the gift could leave her ineligible to swim for Cal next year.
Not true, says the NCAA.
"We applaud Missy Franklin's commitment to amateurism, but Bieber Fever is allowed under NCAA rules," spokeswoman Stacey Osburn said.
Since Bieber is known to give gifts to fans, Franklin wasn't considered to be receiving special treatment. Thus, there was no violation of NCAA rules.
The pop star sent Franklin the package this summer after hearing she liked his music.
"It was really sweet of him," Franklin explained to ESPN's Wayne Drehs. "But it was considered a form of special treatment that could have jeopardized my amateur status. I've given up way too much and sacrificed too much to keep a Justin Bieber T-shirt and lose it all. So I sent it back."
Take note, Biebs: Missy is back on the swag market and can get all the gifted Believe T-shirts UPS can deliver. Let's just hope she hasn't already moved on to One Direction.

Each Tequila Review contains a rating or score out of 100, and these scores can be interpreted using the following scale:
0-25 A spirit with a rating this low would actually kill you.
26-49 Depending upon your fortitude you might actually survive this.
50 -59 You are safe to drink this…but you shouldn't.
60-69 Substandard swill which you may offer to people you do not want to see again.
70-74 Now we have a fair mixing spirit. Accept this but make sure it is mixed into a cocktail.
75-79 You may begin to serve this to friends, again probably still cocktail territory.
80-84 We begin to enjoy this spirit neat or on the rocks. (I will still primarily mix cocktails)
85-89 Excellent for sipping or for mixing!
90-94 Definitely a primary sipping spirit, in fact you may want to hoard this for yourself.
95-97.5 The Cream of the Crop
98+ I haven't met this bottle yet…but I want to.
Very loosely we may put my scores into terms that you may be familiar with on a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal scale as follows:
70 – 79.5 Bronze Medal (Recommended only as a mixer)
80 – 89.5 Silver Medal (Recommended for sipping and or a high quality mixer)
90 – 95 Gold Medal (Highly recommended for sipping and for sublime cocktails.)
95.5+ Platinum Award (Highest Recommendation)
I use the same Review Methodology for Tequila as I have been using for Rum and Whisky. Although this is currently under review, for the time being the method I use is detailed here:
My Methodology
A note about Tequila
Tequila is not a drink distilled from cactus juice. It is an Agave based spirit distilled from the Blue Agave plant in the Tequila Region of the state of Jalisco in Mexico. If the product is produced outside of this Tequila region then the spirit must be labeled as Mescal. This is like the distinction between Cognac and Brandy.
Tequila may be labeled as Mixto or 100% Agave. 100% Agave tequila uses only Weber Blue Agave as the base ingredient for fermentation. Mixtos may use other varieties of Agave, or other sugars (fructose) in the fermentation process, but they still must use at least 51% Weber Blue Agave.
Tequila may be labeled as "Blanco" (unaged clear), "Gold" (usually caramel colored blanco), "Reposado" (rested in oak for two months to a year), "Anejo" (aged in oak for one to three years) and "Extra Anejo" (aged in oak for more than three years).

Staffing Fundamentals
Attracting and hiring good employees is, I think, a lot like what we do with our clients; it's lining up expectations with reality," says David K. Bryan, president of Black Dog Design/Build/Remodel in Salem, N.H.
Nevertheless, finding good employees is a challenge for many remodelers, judging from a survey recently completed by Qualified Remodeler. Asked about the quality of applicants, 82 percent of respondents find it fair to poor, while only 18 percent say it is good.
Further, 70 percent report that fewer than a third of applicants were qualified for the positions to be filled. Seventy-two percent of the survey respondents say the quality and skill level of applicants had decreased over the past five years.
Despite these negatives, conversations with successful remodelers suggest that finding qualified employees is not a universally bleak experience. In fact, established, well-organized firms may have an easier time of it, with their reputation attracting employees in much the same way as it attracts clients.
That's not to say smaller firms can't do well in personnel matters. "We've seen smaller companies that have strong people management systems in place even though they only have a handful of employees. The have job descriptions; they have a regular review process, and they have a recruiting program that keeps them on the lookout for good hires," says Janna Mansker, partner, The Berke Group, an Atlanta, Ga.-based consulting firm specializing in employee selection, management and retention.
"They have all the stuff the big ones have," she says. "They realize that they're a lot more attractive to applicants when they have their act together on the people management side. They attract higher caliber candidates and get a reputation for a small company that works like a big company."
One of the issues with smaller firms is that basically all the management and human resources activities are done by the owner, and there are probably a lot of other things he'd rather be doing than putting together job descriptions, doing reviews and training people, Mansker says.
However, she adds, there are a lot of people who will do HR on a contractual basis. They'll audit files to make sure, from an administrative standpoint, that everything is compliant, and from a strategic standpoint they'll help map a firm's organizational structure, she says. She cautioned that if remodelers do look at outsourcing the HR function, they should look for a firm that can address the strategic and organizational issues as well as the administrative functions.
"It may seem silly if you only have six people to have an organizational chart, but even in a company that small I sometimes see that the lines of reporting are a little blurry; the owner may have hired someone for a supervisory role, yet that person is frustrated when people go around him to the owner, because the people below him don't really see him as their manager," Mansker says.
Dave Frye, vice president of Dover Home Remodeling Inc. in North Olmsted, Ohio, agrees with Mansker on the importance of reputation and image. "We've been around long enough and have established a very good name in the market, which I think has a tendency to draw people to us," he says.
Frye noted that Dover, which had gross sales of $5.97 million in 2006 and employs almost two dozen people, is a "small organization that has a family atmosphere so there's a sense of belonging," a factor that makes it attractive to applicants.
Likewise, the company's showroom, which serves to tell the firm's story to potential clients, also sends a message to applicants about how the company likes to do business when they come in for an interview, Frye says.
He also noted that Dover has been in business long enough to have established a wide network of trade associates that tend to spread the word about how the company operates and its philosophies. Applicants have said they were recommended to the company because of its reputation, he related.
Existing employees also recommend new hires. "We like the idea of them referring people; there's kind of an ownership involved. When someone they referred gets a job, they take them under their wing," Frye said.
Indeed, networking and word-of-mouth advertising are the most common way remodelers fill positions. Fifty percent of those responding to Qualified Remodeler's survey indicated that this was their major source of applicants, followed by 25 percent who utilized newspaper classifieds.
Robert McCrensky, president of Hancock Building Associates in Chelmsford, Mass., however, notes that for his firm referrals don't seem to be working as well as they did in the past. Geographically targeted classified advertising, however, has been effective for Hancock. "I advertise in areas where trades people are likely to live," he says.
Hancock's gross sales for 2006 were $6.2 million. The firm employs about 30 people.
Black Dog Design/Build/Remodel in Salem, N.H., isn't among those firms that have found the labor pool deficient and hasn't experienced unusual difficulty in finding qualified team members, according to David K. Bryan, president. "I'd actually say we had the best fortune we've ever had in finding qualified team members in the past several years," he says.
Black Dog's gross sales for 2006 were $5.7 million. The firm has almost 40 employees.
Fault may be Internal
Bryan theorizes that the problem for many companies may lie not entirely in the labor pool but in their own internal structure and practices. Some companies, particularly smaller ones, he says, "expect more than is reasonable from a candidate and are trying to plug an employee into a company that may not be systemically defined and may not be well organized. [They] hope they hire a good candidate; then they throw him into the mix and hope he swims. The reality is they may have hired a good candidate but they may not have enough structure and organization within which that person can thrive."
Many would-be employers approach the interview process from only one perspective — their own, says Bryan. "I think very often employers may perceive they have all there is to offer and they're bringing something to the table and that the candidate is lucky if they even consider them for the position. I think it's a common perspective but I think it's a short-sighted one; it doesn't get you the ideal relationship; it starts the process out on an uneven footing," he explains.
Black Dog has job descriptions and clearly defined expectations, Bryan relates, but also focuses on the company's culture during the interview process to make sure candidates know in advance what kind of company they will be working for and whether they will be comfortable in those surroundings.
Hiring for Black Dog is a multistep process. For a field position, a candidate may be interviewed by one or two project managers and then a department manager. Bryan will typically conduct the final interview. "I mostly talk about the culture of the company and what we're all about to make sure this is a company that they want to be involved in," he says.
"It's really helpful to have a multiple-step process because everyone sees different characteristics, different strengths and weaknesses," Bryan says.
Retaining Employees
While a remodeling company needs to be concerned with paying a competitive wage, retaining employees involves a great deal more than that. For Bryan it's about a culture and environment that recognizes and appreciates contribution. "People want to feel like their voice is being heard and they're making a contribution that matters," he says. "They want to feel that if something is not right with the company, they have the power to effect change."
Recognizing employees' achievements and contributions is part of Black Dog's monthly — sometimes bimonthly — meetings. One regular part of the agenda is "Nines and Tens," a name derived from the score Black Dog strives to earn on its client surveys. Nines and Tens recognizes employees who have done something out of the ordinary, even if it's something as simple as stopping to help a client bring in their groceries or helping a client's child with a school project.
While top remodelers concur that letting employees know what is expected of them is a key factor both in hiring and retaining workers, only 57 percent of those responding to Qualified Remodeler's questionnaire said they had written job descriptions. Slightly less (54 percent) had any sort of formal evaluation or review process.
Recognizing employees for special achievement was an even lower priority, with more than 80 percent of remodelers answering that they had no formal programs, such as employee of the month.
Regardless of the method, communication with employees is a crucial aspect in retaining them. "What people want most is good feedback," Mansker says. "They want to know at all times how they stand in the company; if they're doing great they want to know; and if the company is not happy with them they want to know it.
"It's the personal stuff that people want — the conversations, the input," Mansker says. Formal reviews are only a part of it. "If you're giving people good consistent, open feedback all along the way, a review should be nothing more than a recap. There should be nothing in there that should surprise [the employee], nothing that's covered for the first time," she adds.
In the area of communicating expectations, Dover Home Remodeling has created a "policy book" that contains very specific job descriptions as well as policies concerning sick time, car allowances, etc. "That's something I would suggest any new remodeler do right away," Dover's David Frye said. "It conveys our concern about [our employees]."
The policy book figures in the interview process as well. Potential employees go through several interviews before being offered a position, Frye said, and at some point they are asked to take the policy book home to see if there are any questions and to ensure that they are comfortable with the company's policies.
Frye is s firm believer in hiring slow and making sure the applicant is a good fit. Interviews with several persons may reveal different viewpoints. "It's a team effort to hire the person who will fit," Frye said. "The fit has to be not only good for us but for the employee that's coming on board," he said. "Neither party wants to say three months from now that this just didn't work out."
Dover even has potential employees go out with a salesperson in the field to make sure they're getting their questions about the position answered. "And while they're asking questions, our employees are getting an opinion of them and relaying it back to us," Frye noted.
The interview process is a two-way street, Frye observed. "As we're gathering information about them, they're gathering information about us. We certainly want them to get an impression about us, and if at any point they say I just don't think I fit your company's philosophies, better then than three months into the employment process," he said.
Structured Approach
Building Specialists, Inc. of Roanoke, Va., is a $5.75-million company that's taken a structured approach to communicating with personnel once they've been hired, implementing a performance management system that PRobert Fetzer, president, credits with being a key element in the company's recent development. "We had some challenges with growth and performance, and I felt we had to get this system in place," he said.
Fetzer worked with a consultant to set up job descriptions for all categories from carpenter's helper to vice president. The firm currently has about 20 employees.
We sit down with each employee and go over their job descriptions and performance standards, and get their take on what they're doing as well as what our expectations are, Fetzer explains. "It's really a very good system that helps you gauge and reward good performance and also assist those employees who may not be at a standard that you're hoping they'd be," he says.
Remodelers compete with other industries for employees, and offering competitive benefits is a key factor in attracting and retaining top employees, according to successful remodelers. However, respondents to the Qualified Remodeler survey indicated that about a quarter offered insurance and only 15 percent offered profit sharing.
"We offer health and life insurance, tuition assistance, and paid holidays," Robert Fetzer notes. Likewise, Hancock Building Associates offers medical coverage, paid vacations, sick days, and company vehicles for key employees.
Most important, and perhaps most obvious, is a regular paycheck. "I always feel that a young family should be able to bring home a check every week; that's why I have worked year-round even in the winter," says Hancock president, Robert McCrensky.
"We try to assure our workers of year-round work." Fetzer says. "They're not signing on for just one project; they're signing on for a future, for a career."
The downside, of course, is that while good benefits help retain employees, they also drive up overhead and increase the challenge of competing with companies who offer fewer benefits or subcontract much of their labor.
Still, McCrensky prefers it that way. "They're all my own people so I can control the quality very well, which is a plus," he says.
Fetzer, too, sees the investment in employee selection and retention as a core issue. "We're in a service industry where the only thing we have to offer is the quality of our work. Our employees make us; it's absolutely crucial that we deliver the promise of quality," he says.
Making the right hiring decision is a critical financial decision as well. "It costs a lot to hire new employees," Fetzer says. Make a wrong decision and "you're doing damage control years down the road. A new hire is a big deal, and we take it very seriously," he adds.

text: Earlier today, I started a blog called "Immediate Gratification". Unfortunately, I inadvertantly posted it before I was done. I never got to the point. The point, my point, was that we often do things that make us satisfied (note, I did not say happy) at the moment and sublimate the decisions that would better serve the future, our future...the big picture. Why do we do this? I'm not sure anyone can answer that because most of what we do is without conscious thought. Rather it is about emotion and self absorption. Let's do what feels good now and not worry about the consequences. I mean, really, isn't it all about how we feel, what we want, and what works best for us....everyone and everything else be damned? , As a society, we seem to have lost our ability to be patient, to sacrifice for the greater good, to weigh and measure how what we want now, what we do now, relates to what we need and want in the future. Recently there was a terrible local story about a young girl who gave birth to a baby in her high school bathroom and tried to drown the child. When that didn't work out, she put the baby in the trash. As ugly a story as that is, it is another form of immediate gratification--albeit an extreme one. This young woman wanted to make everything in her world go back to the way it was....so she got rid of the baby because if there is no baby, there is no price to pay, no consequence to endure just a return to normal life. How, why, what, makes a person so callous? I don't think this young girl was callous....being callous would require a real sense of what has been done, what can not be undone, what has been sacrificed in the interest of self preservation. Very few people think in these terms any more. There are too many people who have sacrificied honesty, integrity, and selflessness on the alter of immediate gratification. Hey, I won't be here 50 years from now, so why should I care? I'm not worried about the next generation, let them fight for their own benefits because I am going to enjoy mine now! Why should I give up anything I enjoy--let the people who come after me fight for their own well being. Why, why, why should I worry about the future when I can have so much satisfaction today? I am not going to comment on any specific issues here other than to say that too many of us would rather preserve what is believed to be an irrevocable right to______ *fill in the blank*, even if it negatively affects others or actually contributes to their suffering or loss. After all, I have the right to be happy, have fun, and enjoy myself...don't I? Yes, yes, and yes...but do we have the right to satisfy ourselves at the expense of others and, by extension, the expense of society as a whole. Oh, I hope not. I hope that some people somewhere and sometime will recognize that being happy all the time, particularly at the expense of others, guarantees no real gratification, happiness, or satisfaction for ourselves or our children--the latter of whom will inherit the earth. It's okay to be happy and joyful and satisfied as long as it's not at the expense of the future....our children, our country, and our world.

Alaska Rush do the Double at State Cup
Congratulations are in order as two Alaska Rush teams - 99G and 02B - won the 2013 Alaska Youth Soccer State Cup in the U15G and U12B categories respectively. The annual end-of-year tournament, this year held between August 6-11 in Anchorage, Alaska, is the is the pinnacle of soccer success in the State of Alaska. The winners will move onto the Region IV Far West Regionals in Albuquerque, New Mexico next June.
'I'm very proud of our girls and honored to be their coach,' said 99G team Head Coach and Alaska Rush Technical Director Jason Leonardis. 'We set out with a goal last year of repeating as State Cup Champions and we worked extremely hard and smart as a group to achieve that goal. It's a great accomplishment and we look forward to fairing well at Regionals next year.'
With regards to the 02B team's win, Head Coach Joe Wentworth said, 'The boys are extremely excited about going to Regionals and are looking forward to representing Alaska soccer in a good light.'
The Alaska Rush 02G also made it to the finals, but fell short after a successful summer which saw them win both the Alaska Airlines Cup and the Far North Invitational.
