iSimangaliso has partnered with race organisers Zululand Multisports Club (ZMSC) and the St Lucia Rate Payers for the iSimangaliso St Lucia Half Marathon. The 21.1km and 10km races are registered with KZN Athletics and entrants for these races must be 15 years old or older, and there is also a race for younger children.
The St Lucia Half is one of three challenges iSimangaliso Wetland Park Authority is hosting with collaborating partners to raise money for rhino and endangered species conservation in the Park and to create unique visitor experiences. "The events enable environmentally responsible interactive exploration and fun within this incredibly versatile Park," says CEO Andrew Zaloumis. "The other events are mountain bike (MTB) and surf-ski challenges. We are partnering with different specialist partners in each field to create professional and unique products. It is our aim to grow the eco-friendly ways in which locals and visitors alike experience and enjoy iSimangaliso."
Chairman of St Lucia Ratepayers Julius Snyman said that the Association is excited to be partnering with iSimangaliso Authority in developing tourism opportunities for the mutual benefit of the town and World Heritage site. "Working together and pooling our efforts, we can create huge opportunities with this and future sporting events. We aim to make St Lucia a must-see destination for many different reasons."
"The end is in sight for iSimangaliso's conservation vision to create one contiguous ecological area from the Lebombo Mountains in uMkhuze to the 120km-long Sodwana Bay to St Lucia coastal sections of the Park, in order to re-establish historically occurring game populations and restore the ancient migratory routes of eland, buffalo and rhino from the mountains to the sea. Reintroduction of these species as well as oribi, cheetah and wild dog, some absent for over 100 years, is well underway. It is also vital to continue with Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife's excellent monitoring and anti-poaching efforts within the Park to ensure preservation for future generations."

The dispute over a small group of uninhabited islets in the East China Sea escalated over the weekend as protesters attacked Japanese car dealerships, shops and factories in China. Beijing, which has already sent ships to the area of the islands, has begun to discuss economic retaliation for what it sees as an incursion by the Japanese on Chinese territory. On Monday many Japanese factories were closed and Japanese expatriate workers were urged to stay home.
Reuters reported Monday that the islets, called the Senkaku by Japan and Diaoyu by China, have become the site of a territorial dispute that threatens economic ties between the two countries since the Japanese government decided to purchase some of them from a private Japanese owner.
The plan was supposed to be less incendiary than one seen as angering Beijing even further: that of the nationalist governor of Tokyo to buy and build facilities on the islands. However, Beijing was enraged over the idea and the situation has worsened since the Japanese government announced its plans.
Ownership of the islets has been in dispute since 1885, with the disagreement escalating in the 1970s after a study showed that oil reserves might be found under the sea nearby. The islands were thought to have been ceded to Japan by the Qing Dynasty in 1895 by the Treaty of Shimonoseki as part of the islands surrounding Formosa, and were inhabited by Japanese fishermen prior to the end of World War II.
At some point they passed into private Japanese hands and, according to am Indian Express report, are currently owned by the Kurihara family, which purchased them many years ago from descendants of the original Japanese owners. The group of islets is in a rich fishing area and reportedly also may have considerable mineral reserves.
Last week the Chinese sent surveillance ships to the islands, and the state-owned People's Daily said on its microblog that a flotilla of around 1,000 Chinese fishing boats was sailing for the area on Monday with plans to reach its destination later in the day.
Trade between the two nations came in at a hefty $345 billion in 2011, but now that is threatened as Chinese citizens attacked Japanese establishments, both diplomatic and commercial, on the mainland. Even more protests are planned for Tuesday.
While Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said the government would protect Japanese firms and citizens and also said that protesters must obey the law, his other words were more incendiary. In the report he was quoted saying, "The gravely destructive consequences of Japan's illegal purchase of the Diaoyu Islands are steadily emerging, and the responsibility for this should be borne by Japan." He added, "The course of developments will depend on whether or not Japan faces up to China's solemn stance and whether or not it faces up to the calls for justice from the Chinese people and adopts a correct attitude and approach."
However, the Chinese government has stepped up its rhetoric with a threat to exert economic pressure over the matter. According to the overseas edition of the People's Daily, the main newspaper of the Chinese Communist Party, Beijing plans to retaliate where it will hurt Japan's economy most: its pocketbook.
In a front-page editorial, the newspaper asked, "How could it be that Japan wants another lost decade, and could even be prepared to go back by two decades?" It added that China "has always been extremely cautious about playing the economic card. But in struggles concerning territorial sovereignty, if Japan continues its provocations, then China will take up the battle."
The dispute is already taking a financial toll on Japanese companies with factories or presences in China; everything from shuttered factories to canceled flights to the shares of retail stores are translating into losses. "All Japan-related shares are under selling pressure," Andrew To, a research director from Emperor Capital, said in the report.
The U.S. could get involved, too, based on treaty commitments. U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, who is visiting Japan, met with both Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda and Japanese Foreign Minister Koichiro Gemba on Monday, and said that the U.S. would honor its security treaty obligations to Japan but would not take sides.
He also urged both sides to find a peaceful resolution, and was quoted saying, "It is in everybody's interest … for Japan and China to maintain good relations and to find a way to avoid further escalation."
After talks with Panetta, Gemba said in the report, "I did not bring up the topic today, but it is mutually understood between Japan and the United States that [the islands] are covered by the treaty."

SACRAMENTO (AP) — In a tentative ruling, a trial judge said Tuesday that the state controller has no authority to block lawmakers' pay, as he did last summer after deciding they had failed to meet their constitutional deadline for passing a balanced budget.
Sacramento County Superior Court Judge David Brown found that Controller John Chiang violated the separation of powers clause of the California Constitution
Using powers he thought he was given until voter-approved Proposition 25, Chiang blocked lawmakers' pay for 12 days last year after deciding they had failed to meet their constitutional June 15 deadline for passing a balanced budget. Lawmakers sued, arguing the controller overreached.
The judge agreed with lawmakers, who argued that Chiang does not have the authority to decide whether the Legislature's budget is balanced.
"A contrary result could threaten to undermine the Legislature's essential function," the ruling stated. "Even if the court agreed that defendant's assessment of the Legislature's June 15, 2011, budget bill was well reasoned, if defendant has the power to conduct such an assessment, the controller could subject the budget process to his or her demands."
The controller said he will review his options with the state attorney general.
"The court's tentative ruling flies in the face of the voters' will by allowing legislators to keep their salaries flowing by simply slapping the title 'budget act' on a sheet of paper by June 15," Chiang said in a statement. "Adopting an unbalanced and unfinanceable budget may ensure they are paid, but the people of California will be stuck with delayed payments and IOUs once that 'budget' falls apart."

The firestorm over Facebook's rapidly shrinking privacy protections shows no sign of abating, but you wouldn't know it by listening to Facebook. According to them, the vast majority of users are totally sanguine with the social network's increasingly generous data sharing policies - it's just us cranks in the press who are bitching and moaning.
Ethan Beard, director of Facebook's developer network, had this to say in an interview with Computerworld's Sharon Gaudin:
"I think the response from users that we've seen from the products we launched at [Facebook's F8 developer conference late last month] has been quite positive. People are actively opting-in to engage with the social Web. The response from users speaks very, very loudly that they love what we're doing. I think there's a lot of other talk that's not coming from users necessarily. There's been a lot of interest from the media, from organizations and officials. But to be honest, the user response has been overwhelmingly positive."
Beard stopped short of accusing the media of inventing this controversy, but you know it's what he was implying.
Meanwhile, the ever bubbly Robert Scoble thinks the privacy controversy is much ado about nothing.
"I have always set my Facebook to the most public setting possible. Whoa?!? Here's the deal: I wish Facebook had NO PRIVACY AT ALL! That's called the open web. I wish Google could index every word I write on Facebook. Hint, it can't. The thing I hate about Facebook is that people who want to see my profile can't. Even now only 5,000 of you can look at my Facebook profile. That's lame. I want to live my life in public. Why? Because that way none of you can exploit me more than any other."
Remember, this is a guy who wrote a book called "Naked Conversations" and promoted it by posing nude for publicity photos. Trust me, you don't want to see Robert Scoble naked (unless your name is Mrs. Robert Scoble -- and even then I'm betting probably not). He's the last human on the planet I'd ever consult about privacy issues. Frankly you'd get better advice from a stripper.
The fact is, Facebook has steadily - and quite deliberately - carved away at the privacy protections its service was originally founded upon. It has essentially created a bait-and-switch scam: promising one thing but delivering something entirely different.
IBM researcher Matt McKeon created an amazing graphic that shows in dramatic fashion just how much control Facebook has gradually assumed over its users' information every year since 2005.
The blue bits in the following screenshot represent how much of your information Facebook shared (and with whom) back in 2005. Back then, if someone wasn't a member of your network (typically the place you lived or went to school) they couldn't see your profile or access much information about you at all.
Here's the current state of Facebook information sharing today.
Feeling blue yet?
In other words, if you joined Facebook in 2005, most of the stuff you thought you were sharing only with your closest college buddies is now being shared amongst the entire InterWebs.
Let me put it another way. Say you have a very rich, very generous friend. This friend owns many apartment buildings. One day he offers you the use of one of his buildings, free of charge, and encourages you to invite your friends to join you. It's not exactly the Hugh Hefner Suite at the Palms, but hey, it's a free apartment. There's only one condition: He reserves the right to enter the unit as needed. He promises to not do it very often and give plenty of notice. If you don't like it, of course, you're free to move elsewhere.
The next year, the owner adds a new condition. Not only can he enter the apartment, he can also bring a few friends. Again, he won't do it very often, and if you don't like it you're free to leave whenever you like.
The year after that, the owner reserves the right to enter the apartment on a regular basis and throw a huge party for all his friends. You and your friends are also invited, of course. Don't like it? Well, you know how to find the door.
The next year the owner tells you he's planning to throw parties pretty much all the time. And he's told his friends they should feel free to go through all your stuff. You'll be able to keep some of your stuff private by locking it in a closet, but the closet is small and hidden in a crawlspace, so you may have trouble finding it. But he assures you he's only doing this because deep down inside he knows you really want him to let a bunch of strangers paw through your stuff, even if you've never said anything remotely like that. Also, he gets paid every time someone finds something of yours they like.
Is it time to move yet?
Yes, Facebook is free. Yes, it offers many unique and useful services, as well as a lot of useless dreck. Yes, it needs to generate revenue for these free services. But what Facebook is offering now isn't what most of us signed up for. This isn't the original agreement. It's mutated, and not in a survival-of-the-fittest way -- more like a 'slime mold that's threatening to eat the earth' kind of way. The future does not bode well.
Also: You want to live your life in public, Bob, you go right ahead. But please, spare us the pictures.

Music: Pritam
Lyrics: Rajat Aroraa
Music label: T-Series
The musical expectation is very high from this sequel to the melody-rich Milan Luthria-Pritam collaboration Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai (OUATIM). Moreover, Luthria is a filmmaker with a heritage of memorable musicals like Kachche Dhaage, Chori Chori and even The Dirty Picture.
As for Pritam, he's on a roll after Barfi!, Race 2 and Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and we expect that merit.
The soundtrack has only four songs but nevertheless emerges as one of the better albums of this year. Let us begin with the finest track, the energetic 'Tu Hi Khwahish', rendered with superb zing by Sunidhi Chauhan. Clearly the counterpart of 'Parda' from the prequel (which was a number derived in part from two classics), it is a super club song that is a hark back to such tracks from Prakash Mehra and Feroz Khan with Kalyanji-Anandji, laced with some vocal and orchestral nuances reminding us of R.D. Burman!
The beauty is that this is still a completely original track with some intense romantic lyrics by Rajat Aroraa (Tu hi khwahish / Tu hi khatra / Zeher tera dil mein utra). The arrangements are richly acoustic, and the production so harmonious that at no point does the song jar on the ears despite Sunidhi's sustained high pitch.
And if the '70s is the timeframe of the film, and K-A and RD are there, can the then-market-leaders Laxmikant-Pyarelal be left behind? L-P's latest in a long chain of re-creations is 'Tayyab Ali', whose re-creation is credited to Pritam's assistant Anupam Amod but seems clearly like his own handiwork. Smartly adapted with some really witty lyrics (Rajat Aroraa adds his bit to the Anand Bakshi's irreverent verse in the original film, Amar Akbar Anthony), the song is sung by Javed Ali with fair panache, and odiously unfair comparisons to Mohammed Rafi are best avoided!
What sets 'Tayyab Ali' apart from the standard re-creations nowadays is a near-identical situation to the original song, and the imaginative contemporary tenor. Pritam replicates the old orchestration only to a basic extent, keeping the choral patterns different too.
The third ace of the score is 'Yeh Tune Kya Kiya', sung with full-throated expertise by Javed Bashir, heard recently also in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. Lyrically, this is the finest song on the score, and clearly the corresponding number to the Sufi delight in the older film in the OUATIM franchise, 'Tum Jo Aaye Zindagi Mein'.
This time, it is a more intricate composition, also given a Sufi-rock treatment, and it even tributes the older number by skillfully working in a musical segment recalling that song! The play of strings in the interlude boosts up the soulful quotient.
Pritam can always be relied upon to be a tuneful bridge between the best of the melodious past and today's music and Bashir's harkatein as he sings the line Ishq ki….baaziyaan shows how the composer adheres to deep melody like few of his contemporaries do. The phonetics of this track is immaculate, structured to spice up the aural appeal of the melody.
A comparatively weaker song is 'Chugliyaan' (Javed Ali-Sahir Ali Bagga), which sounds too calculated both in music and lyrics, thus ending up as an average but stereotyped number. The hook (Mera yaar yaar mujh mein / Mera pyaar pyaar tujh mein) lacks the power to linger in memory. No, it is not a bad song, but it is one of those familiar grooves that we have heard ad infinitum from lesser composers.
The high-profile film should hopefully boost the musical prospects. One hopes that the filming of the song within the movie helps too.
Our Picks
Yeh Tune Kya Kiya, Tayyab Ali, Tu Hi Khwahish

According to a study done by Pediatrics recently, more than one-third of children in the United States are overweight or obese. That's a very scare figure, because that definitely increases the child's chance of diseases like type-2 diabetes, and adult obesity. The authors of the study also noted that childhood obesity is often times undertreated and goes undiagnosed. As sad as it is, I have seen this
The study set out to see if Health IT may improve the "quality, efficiency and reach of chronic disease management," according to this article. According to another article about this study, some of the parts of the study that are most relevant towards health IT included that "telemedicine was as effective as in-person counseling at reducing BMI and that text messaging and phone support were associated with weight loss maintenance."
Combating childhood obesity is something I am very passionate about. As a child, and into my teenage years, I could have been classified as extremely overweight — probably even obese. While I've worked very hard to beat the statistics, and get my weight down to a now healthy weight, it is something that truly has affected my entire life to this day. And the thing is, when I was at the unhealthy weight that I was, no one said anything. No doctor, my parents, or anyone. Sure, I was encouraged to take a PE class here and there, and perhaps not take seconds — but no one saw that problem for what it was. Because of the things I went through, I want more than anything to prevent my own children from becoming overweight themselves. Reading this study, and seeing how health IT can positively affect childhood obesity was neat. While I think too much screen time can really contribute to the problem, I'm glad that there efforts out there to try and get kids involved in their own health, particularly by using electronics — something that most kids love. I hope that more Health IT developers will see the importance of creating apps, programs, and devices geared toward children. I couldn't find any, but it would be cool if there were exercise apps that kids could put on their iPods that are similar to ones that adults have, but that are geared toward exercises more children participate in. In my research, I found a few health IT apps and websites aimed toward kids that I think could be helpful:
Food Hero:
This is a game that was created by HealthSocial, a non-profit project based at the Children's Hospital in Boston. To win the game, the child must "become" a food hero. To do this, the child must make their character make healthy choices, like eating healthy food and exercising, and earning gold along the way. If the character eats too much, physical challenges become more difficult. However, if too little is eaten, the character has difficult participating as well. The goal is to ultimately eat healthy meals. It seems like this game would be a great visual for children to see what happens when you don't have balanced meals.
Food 'N Me:
This website was created to promote healthy living in children. It has interactive games, quizzes like "What Food Am I." This quiz has the child choose the foods they have eaten throughout the day, and it gives a rating at the bottom of the screen, telling the child how balanced it was. At the end of the quiz, it tells you what kind of food you are, based on your choices. For instance, if you eat primarily grains, it will say you are a bagel. The website also features the game Smash Your Food, which is also available on mobile devices, and I'll talk about next.
Smash Your Food:
This app was on Michelle Obama's "Apps for Health Kids" contest. Whether the person is using it online or on a mobile device, it works about the same. You get to "smash" foods — from milkshakes, hamburgers, to healthy, homemade meals. — and it tells you what it is made of. The goal of it is to encourage children (and their parents) to understand what is in their meals, and to make healthy choices at home and on the go. It can be accessed at the Food 'N Me website, or downloaded for the iPhone or iPad here for 2.99.

Daily Outlook
The NZD/USD pair has been trending up within the depicted bullish channel since January 2016.
In November 2016, early signs of bullish weakness were expressed on the chart when the pair failed to record a new high above 0.7400.
A bearish breakout of the lower limit of the channel took place in December 2016.
In February 2017, the depicted short-term downtrend was initiated in the depicted supply zone (0.7310-0.7380).
However, a recent bullish breakout above the downtrend line took place on May 22. Since then, the market has been bullish as depicted on the chart.
The price zone of 0.7150-0.7230 (SUPPLY ZONE in confluence with 61.8% Fibonacci level) stood as a temporary resistance zone until a bullish breakout was expressed above 0.7230.
This resulted in a quick bullish advance towards the next supply zone around 0.7310-0.7380 where evident bearish rejection was expressed on June 14.
Currently, the NZD/USD pair remains trapped between the price levels of 0.7230 - 0.7310 until a breakout occurs in either direction.
Trade recommendations:
Risky traders can have a valid SELL entry at retesting of the price level of 0.7310. S/L should be placed above 0.7400.
Conservative traders can wait for a bearish closure below 0.7230 then 0.7150 (61.8% Fibo level) for a valid SELL position.
S/L should be placed above 0.7250 while T/P levels should be placed at 0.7050, 0.6970, and 0.6850.The material has been provided by InstaForex Company - www.instaforex.com

SEATTLE -- The computer problem that has cut off Alaska Airlines' ability to put passengers on planes was caused by a combination of two fiber optic cuts in the Sprint system.
Sprint spokeswoman Crystal Davis in Reston, Va., says one occurred at a construction site along railroad tracks between Chicago and Milwaukee, and the other was somewhere between Portland and Seattle.
If there had been only one disruption, the computer system would've been able to reroute the traffic. She says the failure Monday was caused by the combination of the two cuts. It also affected some other Sprint customers in parts of Washington, Oregon and California.
Davis hopes one fiber optic line will be fixed by 3 p.m. Pacific, which should put Alaska Airlines back in business.

Squeeze back into your jeans with these tips
WARNING: after reading these flat stomach tips you may experience strong, uncontrollable urges that will cause you to flash your flat belly in public. Proceed with caution:
Stop doing so many crunches
Most people think that to achieve a flat, toned stomach you need to do a thousand crunches every morning before work, but that's just not true.
The surprising secret is that doing lots of ab specific exercises will only help you tone that area on a short-term basis, if at all.
To get the flat stomach you want, you have to work your entire core, building up its strength and flexibility.
Doing exercises like Pilates or stability ball work will help you do this.
Working your core is the key to achieving a flat stomach because it works all of the muscles in your stomach area, such as the rectus abdominis, your internal and external obliques and your transversus abdominis.
Stock up on whole grains
A study that was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition discovered a surprising secret for a flatter stomach.
The study gave participants a healthy diet to eat, consisting of fruit, vegetables, low-fat dairy products, meat and fish.
However, they gave one set of participants wholegrain foods to eat and the other set of participants refined grain foods.
At the end of the study those participants who had eaten the wholegrain foods had lost more weight from their stomachs than those who ate the refined grain foods.
The researchers believe that the participants who ate more whole grains and ate less refined carbs lost more from their waistlines because this change in diet mobilised people's fat stores because of a shift in their glucose and insulin response.
If you want to swap refined grains for whole grains, eat less yeast-based breads, pasta and cakes or cookies and eat more foods such as oats (which contains as many antioxidants as broccoli and spinach), brown rice and wheat berries.
Get some sleep
It may seem as though sleep has nothing to do with your dream of having a flat stomach, but it does.
If you don't get enough sleep then your hormone levels change, which can make you feel hungry and can also make you feel less satisfied once you have eaten.
This can lead to overeating. Plus those late nights watching TV or going out with friends gives you more time to snack and reach for unhealthy foods.
So, how much sleep should you be getting? The Mayo Clinic advises adults that they should sleep for no less than seven hours a night.
If you struggle to get this much sleep make sure you are exercising regularly, that you don't nap during the day and that you eat foods that contain tryptophan (an amino acid that helps you sleep), such as chicken, milk and yoghurt.
Time your meals
If you eat food quickly then you might find that you are eating more than you actually need to.
Slowing down the pace you eat meals at will help you to achieve a flatter stomach because you will eat smaller portions.
Also a study published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism found that eating quickly did not allow the hormone that makes you feel full to kick in. Therefore when eating quickly you are far more likely to eat more than is necessary.
To stop eating so quickly you should make sure you eat at your dining table and do not eat in front of the TV.
Concentrating and savouring what you are tucking into will help slow down the rate you eat at. You could also set a timer and try to consciously slow down so that you eat the last bites of your food when the timer goes off.
Also, a study found that soft lighting and gentle music helped participants eat less quickly so you could always dim the lights and put on some Enya too.
Tuck into some enzymes
An enzyme that will help you achieve a flatter stomach is called bromelain and it can be found in pineapples. The bromelain enzyme digests protein and is called a proteolytic enzyme.
It is useful for those who want a flatter stomach because it aids the digestion of foods that are high in fibre, such as beans or vegetables.
By aiding the digestion of these foods this enzyme eases bloating, which is a major obstacle that stands between many people and their flat stomachs.
If you want to get a flat stomach and think the bromelain enzyme might help you to achieve this then you should eat some fresh pineapple before a meal to aid your digestion. The enzyme can also be taken as a supplement.

When the San Jose Earthquakes talk about "steel" these days, they don't mean a hard-nosed midfielder.
After construction delays forced the Quakes to twice push back the projected opening date on their new home, the steel girders that will form the skeleton of an 18,000-seat stadium are set to be raised this month. The structure should rise some eight or nine stories, just across a busy street from the Mineta San Jose International Airport.
And it promises to make an even bigger impact than the two-story building – the future home to the team offices and locker rooms – which was erected last month on the Coleman Avenue site.
"When you drive by, there have already been fender-benders out there," Quakes president David Kaval told MLSsoccer.com recently by phone. "So I'm sure there're going to be a lot more of those. We're going to be helping the auto-body shops. You're going to see it in a massive way."
Kaval said the project is on target for its current completion date of November 2014. The club was originally targeting the 2014 season as its first in the privately financed stadium, but various problems with the site – former home to defense contractor FMC where it manufactured the Bradley Fighting Vehicles – first pushed that back to July 2014, then forced a second postponement to the 2015 campaign.

— Dave Kaval (@QuakesPrez) December 4, 2013
"I feel that we have a really great team working on the stadium, and we've been able to, every day, make the necessary progress to be successful," said Kaval, who claimed he has no regrets about his initial timeline. "You can sit here and Monday-morning-quarterback the thing to death. Knowing what we know now, I wouldn't have done anything differently because the reality is that we experienced so many significant delays for such a variety of reasons that that was just more than you would normally anticipate."
Now, with the early hurdles finally surmounted, Kaval and the Quakes' construction partners can put their efforts into staying on track. In addition to any number of daily questions, the construction team meets on Fridays to ensure no timeline is falling behind.
That also means that Kaval & Co. can take some more enjoyment out of the work, instead of just trying to solve unexpected problems.
"It's not a cookie-cutter design or construction project," Kaval said. "When we went out to Schuff Steel in Stockton and saw the steel being fabricated, some of these guys went, 'Well, we've just never built anything like this. This is amazing.' It's cool to see that excitement."
- The latest Quakes news at SJEarthquakes.com
The progress should also be exciting to the players, who might get a chance to move in early. Kaval said the headquarters building, including the locker rooms, is expected to be finished during the 2014 season. If that happens and the team is granted an early occupancy permit, players can walk 60 yards to their post-practice shower, instead of having to drive 1.8 miles to Santa Clara University's Leavey Center, as they currently do.
"Any ability to move in there early would be a competitive advantage for the club, and so that's something that we're looking to try to do," Kaval said. "The sooner the better on that."
The Quakes are slated to play their 2014 schedule primarily at Santa Clara's Buck Shaw Stadium, but in the meantime Kaval can see the future coming.
"That open end looks out right toward final approach, planes coming in, and it's really neat," Kaval said. "When you're out there, you can really see how it's all going to take shape."

Financial FAQs
The subject of juicing is in the air with Lance Armstrong's confession that he and his cycling teammates injected various stimulants to win races. Yet he told Oprah on her show he didn't think he was cheating. "Scary, hunh?"
But when it comes to stimulating growth of the U.S. economy after a recession there shouldn't be any debate about boosting economic growth. Yet bond vigilantes and other austerity advocates think governments are cheating in some way by spending to stimulate economic growth, and create jobs (rather than let growth continue to stagnate).
But in reality, it is the age old attempt to restrict government from being effective in its various mandates, including helping to grow the economy; which also helps to right the record inequality that was a major cause of the Great Recession.
My goodness, we have such huge budget deficits, say the deficit hawks and bond vigilantes (who sing the same basic tune). This means their thinking is even scarier. It's as if the Great Recession never happened. Because some deficits are good during an economic recovery, when there is little chance of inflation. Fed Chairman Bernanke has even said we could tolerate 3 to 4 percent inflation—instead of the current 2 percent—and it wouldn't hurt economic growth.
Graph: BLS
In fact, we can't have real inflation until the unemployment rate drops back to 6 to 6.5 percent. One Fed Governor, Naryana Kocherlacota, even wants to wait until it falls to 5.5 percent, which is closer to the historical norm for inflation to kick in. This is why the Fed Governors set such a target before beginning to tighten credit.
Graph: BLS
History has shown there isn't sufficient demand to drive up prices when unemployment is high, which is the same as saying not enough money is in circulation that would drive up inflation. A good recent example is in the 1990s as the accompanying graphs show. When unemployment rose, inflation fell at the same time. Inflation then remained in the 2-4 percent range during the 1990s when unemployment was between 4-6 percent, which seems to be the norm, as we said.
We call it austerity when inflation hawks hold sway as they are doing in Europe at the present. It is also the rationale used by the deficit hawks who resist any stimulus spending, even though history has shown it decreases record inequality, the major cause of the current recession and economic stagnation, as we said. Nobelist Joseph Stiglitz is one who has trumpeted the necessity of decreasing inequality if we want real growth.
This is the lesson that Bernanke's Fed has learned, and why they continue to pump money into our economy by buying up bonds and mortgage-backed securities with successive Quantitative Easing (QE) programs.
So Lance Armstrong's 'juicing' does teach us something. It is a label misused by those protecting their wealth who resist all stimulus spending that benefits most Americans, and decreases record inequality. Using monetary stimulants to boost economic growth when unemployment high is good, because it creates a healthier economy, more jobs, and yes, a winning mentality for the right reasons.

News for T-minus Seven Weeks and Counting...
In The Ausiello Files CW report from the recent press tour, Dawn Ostroff says she hopes Supernatural will go on for more than one more season.
Various sources, including here announce Sebastian Roché (Fringe) as a guest star on Supernatural. (He tweeted that he was in Vancouver doing the show.)
Wanna wallow in envy? Check out the teaser trailer for "Supernatural: The Animation" at Warner Bros.' Japanese site for the project. Click the "Trailer" box on the right. They did a great job with Sam and Dean! I wish this wasn't only being released in Japan...
Portrait Magazine (scroll down a little and look on the right, "September Cover") has a poll to see who we want featured on the September cover. Tom Welling is way ahead of Jensen Ackles, and Jared Padalecki doesn't seem to have a chance. Voting goes to August 15.
While casing some Torchwood news, I discovered that John Shiban, writer for such great Supernatural episodes as "Tall Tales" and "Folsom Prison Blues," will be writing some Torchwood eps in the upcoming season.
Check out Matt Cohen's Playboy Fragrances ad campaign. Click to play, then click "Cast of Characters" to watch him talk about seduction. :) (Safe for work!)
Zap2it has an in-depth article about Jason Manns and how his friendship with Jensen has affected his music and movie career. No new info for those of us who follow Jason for his own sake, but some interesting quotes nonetheless. :)

Earlham College is committed to providing a safe and healthy working and learning environment for the students, faculty, staff and visitors on its campus. As of July 1, 2016, Earlham College is a smoke and tobacco-free campus.
With any community that involves shared space and interests, guidelines are important as a foundation for living together in a safe, secure, and educational environment. To that end, there are several important documents and resources available to students which govern acceptable behavior within Earlham College's residential facilities. Students should take time to review these policies to ensure they are meeting community standards.
Along with established community policies, there are established procedures that the Office of Residence Life has put into place in order to ensure a fair and timely process for all students. Many of the most common processes that students have questions about, or need resources for, are included on this page or on the left navigation. If you have any questions about Residence Life procedures or policies, please let us know!
Within the broad context of Principles and Practices, the Residence Life program is shaped by a view of residence halls and houses as learning environments. The most important learning that occurs outside the classroom takes place between students (Schroeder and Mable, 1994). Because of the positive impact an on-campus residential environment has on the learning process and the College curriculum, Earlham College requires all undergraduate students under the age of twenty-three as of the first day of classes to live in approved on-campus, Earlham College housing facilities.
Here are links to important Residence Life policies:

Nothing illustrates the steady corrosive powers of water like a river canyon. Carving their way through solid rock, sometimes over the course of millions of years, rivers slowly create these incredible and vast natural sculptures.
Image: Frames-of-Mind
Long and deep canyons are particular places of wonder, as the stunning examples on this list illustrate. Some, like Arizona's Grand Canyon, are well known; others, such as Tibet's Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon, aren't quite so famous. However, they're all astonishing in their own unique ways. Let's plunge into our first canyon…
Note: the selection and ordering of these canyons is not certain, because what constitutes 'largest' can be gauged by length, depth or total area. Also, some canyons in the Himalayas are not accessible and are thus not considered.
Image: Mercy from Wikimedia Commons
10. Tara River Canyon – Montenegro
We begin our descent with the twisting, turning curves of the Tara River Canyon in Montenegro, which reaches down far enough to make this the deepest river gorge in all of Europe. At its deepest point, the canyon drops to 4,265 feet (1,300 m), courtesy of the Tara River that carves through it.
Located in the Durmitor National Park, Tara River Canyon is protected and is also part of a possible UNESCO World Heritage Site. Even from the highest peaks, you're likely to hear the thundering sound of more than 40 cascades plunging into this amazing canyon, which is 50 miles (82 km) long.

9. Blyde River Canyon – South Africa
Blyde River Canyon in South Africa may not be the largest on Earth, but it does have the distinction of being one of the greenest. As well as boasting an average depth of 2,500 feet (762 m), this 16-mile (26 km) long gorge is covered in abundant subtropical plant life, which definitely adds to its appeal. The deepest part of the canyon is said to be from the top of Mariepskop mountain down to the river's exit, with a total drop of 4,500 feet (1,372 m).
Some of the most incredible vistas in South Africa can be seen from the rim of Blyde River Canyon – and from one spot it's possible to see over the border to Mozambique. What's more, if wildlife rocks your boat more than awesome views, you'll be pleased to know that this canyon is overflowing with stunning fauna, including all five species of South African primates.
Image: Jens Uhlenbrock
8. Copper Canyon – Mexico
Strictly speaking, this canyon in Chihuahua, Mexico is not just one but six canyons, which are known collectively as Copper Canyon. Barranca del Cobre, as it is called in Spanish, is named after the coppery green hue of its walls. And the six rivers responsible for creating these amazing valleys flow into the Sea of Cortez as part of the larger Rio Fuerte.
The deepest canyon in the system, Barranca de Urique, is a whopping 6,164 feet (1,879 m) deep. Copper Canyon is rich in wildlife, but, sadly, many of the species are now endangered due to deforestation. Hopefully, something can be done to help these animals before this canyon loses one of its most important features.
Image: Manouel
7. Cotahuasi Canyon – Peru
There are a couple of entries on this list from Peru, and Cotahuasi Canyon, which plummets to 11,598 feet (3,535 m) at its deepest point, is the first. The canyon was carved out between two mountain ranges, the Coropuna and the Solimana, by the Cotahuasi River.
The landscape surrounding Cotahuasi Canyon is both dramatic and remote – and if you want to visit, you'll need to spend up to 12 hours on a bus getting there. Still, while this may be inconvenient for tourists, it isn't such a bad thing from a conservation perspective.

6. Colca Canyon – Peru
The second Peruvian canyon on our list is Colca Canyon. Dropping to a depth of 13,650 feet (4,160 m), this geographical wonder in southern Peru is an impressive sight. It's one of the world's deepest canyons – if not quite the deepest of all, despite its being promoted as such. That said, Colca Canyon is twice the depth of the Arizona's Grand Canyon, and it's also one of Peru's most visited tourist destinations. Personally, we're not sure how close to the edge we'd like to get…
Colca Canyon isn't just about beautiful views; the canyon is also home to the Andean Condor, the vicuña (a South American camelid), and several other notable bird and mammal species. What's more, the valley boasts archaeological sites dating back around 6,000 years, hot springs in which to soak, and the Infiernillo Geyser. And added to all this are the lush green stepped terraces of the inhabitants, who have been farming this way since pre-Inca times. No wonder the area gets around 120,000 tourists a year.

5. Fish River Canyon – Namibia
Fish River Canyon in Namibia is the largest canyon in Africa. This gigantic river channel meanders 100 miles (160 km) through a plateau. The canyon is rocky, but it's a popular place to visit – especially with hikers – thanks to its stunning views. The ravine itself measures 1,804 feet (550 m) deep, and in some places it stretches 17 miles (27 km) wide.
Although the river at the base of Fish River Canyon spends most of the year divided into shallow pools, in the late summer hikers need to watch out for flash floods. Every year, a marathon is held in the canyon, testing runners with rough trails and extreme conditions. As one competitor remarks, "This canyon is not for the fainthearted."

4. The Grand Canyon – USA
It may not be the world's biggest canyon – although many people think it is – but the Grand Canyon in Arizona is without doubt the most famous. Measuring 6,000 feet (1,828 m) deep and 277 miles (445 km) long, this majestic place is one of the Seven Wonders of the Natural World.
Geologists are still debating how the Grand Canyon first formed. The most current theory is that 17 million years ago, the Colorado River first started to cut its way through the many layers of rock and then continued to widen and deepen the channel, creating its present-day configuration. This canyon sculpting was also given a boost during the ice ages, when there was more water in the river, which helped to erode the canyon at an even faster rate. These days, around five million people a year visit the Grand Canyon from all over the world.

3. The Kali Gandaki Gorge – Nepal
The Kali Gandaki River, which winds its way through the Kali Gandaki Gorge in Nepal, is even more ancient than the towering Himalayan mountain range that surrounds it. The river is named after the Hindu goddess Kali; and its churning waters are black in color due to the presence of glacial silt.
The exact depth of the giant Kali Gandaki Gorge is debated, because not everyone agrees on the height of its rim. However, if the depth were measured from the highest peaks on either side to the river down below, it would be the deepest canyon in the world, with a depth of around 22,309 feet (6,800 m).

2. Capertee Valley – Australia
We turn now to the Capertee Valley in New South Wales, Australia. This majestic canyon is the largest in Australia and is known for its rugged landscape and towering sandstone escarpments. Due to its age, Capertee Valley is not as deep as some of the other canyons on this list, but what it lacks in depth it makes up for with sheer size. Capertee Valley is wider and about 0.6 miles (1 km) longer than the Grand Canyon.
At the base of the valley, the Capertee River carves its way through Permian and Triassic rock, which dates back millions of years. The Aboriginal Wiradjuri people have a very extensive history on this land, as shown by the 2,000-year-old rock art in the area. Other ancient treasures have been dug up here as well – such as diamonds from the abandoned mines dug into the mountainside. One prospector found 77 of the gemstones in six days!

1. Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon – Tibet
High in the Himalayas, beginning near the sacred Mount Kailash, a mighty canyon winds its way down to the Brahmaputra River in Northern India. With an average depth of 16,000 feet (4,876 m) around the mountains of Namcha Barwa, and plunging down to 19,714 feet (6,009 m) at one point, the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon is often considered the deepest canyon on Earth.
And it's not only the depth of the Yarlung Tsangpo that's impressive; this vast canyon also runs for 150 miles (240 km), and through some spectacular Tibetan terrain. The river that courses through this canyon is known by kayakers for its challenging conditions, which have earned it the nickname "The Everest of Rivers".

Another look at Fish River Canyon
We think you'll agree that each of the canyons we've visited here are beautiful and fascinating places, whether they're green and lush like Blyde Canyon or arid and rocky like Fish River. So, if you're an adventurous soul but you're afraid of heights, perhaps canyon exploration is the answer (you'll just have to skip the famous Grand Canyon helicopter tour).

Park and Recreation Month is here and soon all the brainstorming, planning, preparing and more will be put into action. If you need a little last minute inspiration or even a reminder as to why Park and Recreation Month can be an important part of your agency's mission here's a great story for you.
Sarah Mylcraine, activities specialist for Harker Heights Parks and Recreation in Harker Heights, Texas gives the inside scoop on how she successfully implemented Park and Recreation Month activities for the very first time for her community last year and what she has in store for this year too!
2013 was the first year Harker Heights Parks and Recreation celebrated National Park and Recreation Month. Creating festivities from the beginning was a challenging yet rewarding opportunity for me. I enjoyed brainstorming ideas then having the ability to plan, create and complete the activities that made the events successful.
The City Mayor read a proclamation at the last scheduled council meeting in June to kick off the activities for Park and Recreation Month. My first plan of action was creating opportunities for Harker Heights citizens to explore our city's local parks. Although the 194 acres of space provides 10 parks and green spaces, many are unknown or not utilized by our residents. We created a scavenger hunt contest with clues located at the park locations and held two "Fun Days" as a method of reacquainting city residents with all the parks.
The Scavenger Hunt
Scavenger hunt clues were posted on our website every Tuesday and Friday within the month of July and reminders to check the clues were posted on social media outlets. Participants first read the clue and then had to figure out which park held the answer. Once they figured out where the answer was located they submitted their answer by taking a picture of the object or action necessary to solve the answer. An electronic submission form was located on our website along with a link to upload photos. Once completed, the form was emailed to staff.
All correct scavenger hunt entries were placed in a drawing. The winner of the contest remarked how much she appreciated the parks and recreation department and what we do for our city.
"Fun Days in the Park"
As part of our celebration, I created two "Fun Days in the Park," envisioned to mimic field days in school. The Fun Days took place on two separate days in July; one held at a lesser-known park, Kern, while the other at the popular Purser Family Park.
The goals for the Fun Days were similar to that of the scavenger hunt; assist citizens in the discovery of a park and its amenities that they may not have known was available. This was the first time that the department held an event at Kern Park, so the community members around the area were grateful that they were able to attend an event closer to their residence.
Kids were invited to fill out NRPA's pin-it card listing reasons they love parks and recreation; submissions were stapled on an A-frame board later used for a display. The board also contained a schedule of activities such as potato sack and egg on a spoon races, hula hoop contest and a freeze dance-off. The activities were a hit and participants enjoyed the competition and medals. A bounce house was generously donated by a local business and complimentary face-painting was provided by the Harker Heights Public Library staff.
Children at Kern Park in Harker Heights, TX enjoy their first Park and Recreation Month Celebration in 2013
Purser Family Park is the location of our city's dog park. The day of the Purser Family Park Fun Day our city's Pet Adoption Center offered pets available for adoption, while Texas Vets for Pets provided a variety of low-cost vaccinations. A local vendor sold homemade dog treats, donating proceeds to purchase postage for overseas military care packages.
During the Fun Days we invited everyone to participate in demonstrations of line dancing, Zumba® and Tai Chi fitness, helping to raise public awareness of the variety of health and wellness classes offered throughout the year. A demonstration of a new program, Bricks 4 Kidz©, a Lego®-based program, was offered as well as an opportunity for interested citizens to sign up for more information. Demonstration times varied to allow the public time to observe and/or participate in more than one presentation.
Community business vendors were also included in the Fun Days. Sam's Club sold memberships for their new store that opened within our city limits and donated snack foods, 1st National Bank of Texas donated water and Central Texas Orthodontics provided a chance to earn free prizes such as T-shirts, water bottles and gift vouchers to use at their business.
Overall, the feedback and participation received from our Park and Recreation Month celebrations was very rewarding as it gave residents the opportunity to explore our city parks and discover programs that our department offers.
OUT is IN for Harker Heights
This year, we are having a kick-off celebration to promote Park and Recreation Month and let community members know about the wonderful programs our department has in store for the month. Community members will have the opportunity to sign a pledge agreeing to spend time OUTdoors, thus being "unplugged." We will distribute "31-days Unplugged" activity ideas during the kick-off as well as distribute the idea sheets within the community. The kick-off celebration will include a kite-building workshop for kids so that during the 31-day challenge they can get out and fly a kite.
We are looking forward to providing another successful Fun Day to members of our community. This year's Fun Day will be held on a Saturday night with our Family Dive-In. What better way to end the Fun Day than watching a movie at the pool? Also included are plans to expand the event to include a fishing demonstration at our catfish pond, a rock wall, and a bicycle area where kids with disabilities can ride on adaptive bikes.
Our second annual celebration will provide many opportunities for community members to take the challenge and spend more time OUTdoors while enjoying the great parks our city offers. We look forward to having another successful Park and Recreation Month!
What are some ways you are connecting with your community this July? What new activities are you trying to get your community OUT all July long? Leave a comment below or share on Twitter using the hashtag #JulyOUTisIN.

William Stump, a veteran Baltimore editor and journalist, died of pneumonia Wednesday at Gilchrist Hospice Care in Towson. The former Cockeysville resident was 90.
Recalled for his open mind and the help he gave aspiring writers, Mr. Stump was a past editor of Baltimore Magazine, which he led from a Chamber of Commerce publication to an urban monthly. He was also the old News American's last editorial page editor.
Born in Orange, N.J., and raised in Emmorton in Harford County, he was the son of Dr. William Stump, a ship's physician, and Constance Poor, whose father was a founder of the Standard & Poor's financial ratings. He was a 1942 graduate of St. James School in Hagerstown.
Family members said that Mr. Stump had an eye defect that prevented him from entering the military. Determined to serve, he volunteered for the American Field Service and drove an ambulance throughout the Middle East, Italy, France and Germany. He followed British and French troops and picked up casualties of war.
"It was a traumatic battlefield experience," said his son, William "Rocky" Stump of Carlisle, Pa.
He lived in the 1940s in New York City and edited a publication, The Villager. In 1949, he joined the staff of The Sun and became a prolific writer for the Sun Magazine. He often had more than one byline in the weekly publication and wrote under two other names, James C. Bertram and Henry Rauch.
He wrote numerous articles explaining the origins of Baltimore street names. It was called "The Man in the Street," beginning with John Potee. He also often wrote local history. His subjects included Baltimore's last gas lights, the Maryland Club and Clifton Park. He worked closely with photographer A. Aubrey Bodine.
Mr. Stump used target archery as a means of strengthening his weak eye. In 1956, he started a magazine, the Eastern Bow Hunter, and another, Archery World, which became the official publication of the National Archery Association. In 1958, after resigning from The Sun, he was named editor of Gardens Houses and People, a Baltimore monthly focused on the northern suburbs.
In August 1964, he was named editor of Baltimore Magazine, then published by the Chamber of Commerce. For four times under his tenure it received the grand award of the American Association of Commerce Publications.
"Bill was a gentleman, a good editor, and while at the Chamber of Commerce helped build the foundation for Baltimore Magazine to, in a few years, became an independent, commercially successful publication that won many awards for its journalism," said J. Stanley Heuisler, the magazine's former editor, who was later the Columbus Center's director.
According to a 1972 Sun article, Baltimore Magazine began selling on news stands in late 1970. Mr. Stump published features on Block stripper Blaze Starr, financial troubles at the Johns Hopkins University, problems in Columbia and on Baltimore's homosexual community.
"The magazine is part of the media of Baltimore and as such should report facts and situations as they are," he said in the 1972 Sun article. "What I have tried to do is to capture the real feel of Baltimore's problems as well as its aspirations."
Mr. Stump said he realized he might be on a "collision course" with members of the Chamber of Commerce. In 1972, he was fired.
"But I couldn't do it any other way. I was more interested in doing a good job overall than in keeping my job here," he said in 1972 in The Sun.
He was immediately hired at the old Hearst afternoon daily The News American, where he directed the editorial page and wrote editorials until the paper's closing in 1986.
"Bill Stump provided a steady voice and clear eye for the people of Baltimore and the readers of the News American at a time of great change in the city and near-tumult in our newsroom. He was smart, resourceful and terribly loyal to his family, to the city and to his co-workers," said the paper's former executive editor, James Toedtman of Savannah, Ga.
"I think he enjoyed his work. He always had a smile and a sparkle in his eye that was infectious. His News American editorials were wise and provocative," said Mr. Toedtman, who is now a Flagler College faculty member. "They consistently won praise and prizes in regional competition. They also frequently drew grimaces at City Hall, as he had a special knack for tweaking the late William Donald Schaefer."
Mr. Toedtman also said, "I well remember the twinkle in his eye when we were mischievous — like calling on the NFL to discipline Robert Irsay, describing a new downtown building as 11 tuna-fish cans or sending a 'Heal to the Chief' get-well card to then-President Ronald Reagan. He was a wonderful human being and colleague and part of a group of people thoroughly dedicated to their craft and to their city and to each other."
Others recalled his unflappable personality and newsroom demeanor.
"Bill Stump was one of the most relentlessly cheerful individuals I've ever met. His sense of decency and good humor stood out in a business that is known for its cynics and tough guys," said political commentator Frank De Filippo of Baltimore, who worked with Mr. Stump. "As an editor, he wore velvet gloves and he never let bad news or bad writing get him down. How Bill smiled through it all is among the many fond memories of my days at the News American."
James A. Hunt of Bloomfield, N.J., a retired New York Times editor who worked with Mr. Stump at the News American, said, "Bill Stump, ever upbeat, ever positive, gave me greater encouragement and more effective support than anyone else I ever worked with. Part of my job was editing all the op-ed columnists, and those folks can be cranky and stubborn. Bill always had my back."
After the paper folded, Mr. Stump became editor of the Maryland Church News, an Episcopal Diocese of Maryland publication.
He had been a member of the Hamilton Street Club, the Six Napoleons and the Drones and Diogenes Club. He remained a target archer with the Oriole Archers.
Mr. Stump donated his body to Johns Hopkins Hospital for eye research. He requested that no funeral be held.
In addition to his son, survivors include a daughter, Cassandra Stump Carson of Baltimore; a brother, John Wilson Stump of Bel Air; five grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren. His wife of 69 years, the former Joyce Morrill, died this year. A daughter, Sheldon Stump, died in 2011.

Preparing for Mars500 - a simulated mission to Mars
Within the Institute of Biomedical Problems, part of the Russian Academy of Sciences, engineers and scientists are completing the construction of a mock-up spaceship which will simulate a voyage to Mars.
The project, called Mars500, due to start in 2008 will recreate all the phases of a mission to Mars. Six volunteers will remain confined in six modules of a mock-up ground-based spaceship: living quarters with individual cabins, an exercise room and storage area for food and supplies, a bio-medical and laboratory area and one recreating the Martian surface. The simulation will also focus on psychological aspects of such a long-duration confinement.
In some respects, the Mars500 concept has many of the ingredients of a reality TV show, with cameras filming the interaction between people in all kinds of situations. But the comparison stops there. This is a serious scientific experiment, and the only way to prepare a really long-duration mission.
The European Space Agency, as a 'strategic partner', is involved at all levels of this international project. Since June this year it has started selecting 12 volunteers, two of them will be part of the six-strong crew. ESA is also choosing the experiments to be carried out during their 500-day confinement.

Welcome Urgent Care Association of Alaska Members
Please join me in extending a welcome to the Urgent Care Association of Alaska members. We continue to grow Urgent Care Associations in America with the goal of reaching all 50 states within the next few weeks.
Urgent Care in Alaska is critical. Having spent a number of years there with the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, I know the rigors of everyday living in Alaska. When an emergency strikes, it can turn very critical without immediate care. Urgent Care centers in Alaska provide that non-life-threatening assistance.
We will continue to grow Urgent Care Associations one state at a time until all 50 states have a voice. And, for those who serve the Urgent Care Industry, there will be an opportunity to connect with members of this multi-billion dollar segment of the health care industry like never before.
Ultimately, as Urgent Care providers and Urgent Care vendors connect to share best practices and crucial information, those needing Urgent Care will benefit the most.
That is why I can say "Welcome!" to the members of the Urgent Care Association of Alaska member and welcome their involvement in the future of Urgent Care medicine. Sam Yates
