NORTH DARTMOUTH, MA-The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's women's soccer team has been picked to finish eighth in the annual Little East Conference pre-season poll.
The Corsairs received 15 points in the poll, three points behind seventh-place Rhode Island College.
Eastern Connecticut State and Western Connecticut State were picked to fill the top two spots in the poll, with the Warriors receiving six first place votes and 62 points, and the Colonials the other two first place votes and 54 points. Keene State, UMass Boston, Southern Maine and Plymouth State held down the next two spots.
"I think that the poll went the way it was expected to go, after last year," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Nicole Hanewich. "Last season, we tied Eastern Connecticut, which said a lot about our team. With 15 new players this year, we have a different aura, and with our talent and returning players, I think we can surprise people this year."
The Corsairs finished 3-12-1 overall and 0-6-1 in LEC play last year. UMass Dartmouth will begin their 2011 schedule at Gordon Thursday, September 1st.

Learn Or Die: A Primer
Craig Malloy has argues that LMS, CMS, Social Business Software, etc., are silo-ed attempts at the primary goal of the organisation: knowledge sharing.
As frustrated as we may ever be, productivity is still one of the greatest levers any executive has at her disposal. Job satisfaction and employee retention is ultimately all about getting things done, and accomplishing great things as a team. Otherwise, why are we working so damn hard? Everyone wants better knowledge sharing.

Study: Dumb Robots Cause Students To Learn More Quickly
Interesting study reported by Techcrunch
In the study, simple humanoid robots teach English by drawing shapes and translating their meaning. The experimental study found that 19 children, between the ages of 4 and 8, learned best when the Nao toy robot didn't always make the correct translation, and could learn from students' corrections.

Pandora For Ed Apps
eSpark is hoping to be the cure that parents need to get into the education game.
"Primary schools (and parents) are adopting iPads at a breakneck pace, but many struggle to find the best learning experiences from the some-100,000 educational apps and eBooks on the iOS platform. So, eSpark is working with more than 3,000 apps and learning experiences (i.e. eBooks, iOS apps, web apps usable on iOS, instructional videos and songs), curating those apps into custom learning profiles and playlists for students based on their individual needs."

An interesting infographic on the changes in the classroom because of technology.
"The proliferation and sheer breadth of accessibility that the Internet offers has in many ways redefined the process of "growing up" — this graphic explores this redefinition and provides insight into not just how we learn stuff, but also what we learn from a young age now that we have computers."

Organizing digital information for others
My new book on Organizing Digital Information for Others is out.
When we interact with web and intranet teams, we find many struggling to move beyond conceptual-level discussions on information organization. Hours on end are spent on discussing the meaning of "metadata", "controlled vocabulary" and "taxonomy" without any strategic understanding of how everything fits together. Being so bogged down at this level they fail to look beyond to the main reason for their pursuit—organizing information for others (the end users) so that they can find the information easily.
Web and intranet teams are not the only ones facing this challenge. Staff in companies are finding themselves tasked with organizing, say, hundreds of project documents on their collaboration space. And they usually end up organizing it in the only way they know—for themselves. Team members then often struggle to locate the information that they thought should be in "this folder"!
In this short book, we explore how lists, categories, trees and facets can be better used to organize information for others. We also learn how metadata and taxonomies can connect different collections and increase the findability of information across the website or intranet.

While it's not Adobe InDesign or a complex design tool like either, it's clearly meant for users who are willing to put in a bit of time to create the best possible product…

Vinod Khosla on Education
Vinod Khosla on Will we need teachers or algorithms?
We have focused so much of our education system on children attending primary school, then middle school, then high school, all with the objective of attending university. This is a progression that still remains unchanged and largely unchallenged. Yet, this system is completely linear and, most tragically, unwaveringly standardized not only through instruction methods, but also through testing. Worse, it is mostly what I call "fixed time, variable learning" (the four-year high school) instead of "fixed learning, variable time" to account for individual students' capabilities and status.
Vinod goes on to discuss decentralization and gamification as two trends to watch out for.

Manager's guidebook on intranet redesign projects
When consulting on intranet projects we often found ourselves having long discussions with intranet managers on the many things that would unfold in such projects and how they could be better prepared for the long journey. These discussions would give them the confidence and the time needed to get things in order inside their organisations.
Today, we release the Manager's guidebook on intranet redesign projects— the result of those discussions with intranet managers. This 64-page guidebook (free download) takes the manager through eight stages of a typical intranet design project. Each stage has many activities that go under it. We've described the activities and included the insights we've gathered over the years. Enjoy!

Using tag bundles in intranets
Our new article on tag bundles is up. Here's the summary:
It's common for enterprises to have a document library in their intranets that houses all types of administrative and operational content. Such a document library usually has a taxonomy to improve the discoverability and findability of content. However, there is one problem: documents need to get into the library first! Submitting a document to the library involves filing or tagging the document with the right taxonomic terms, a procedure that can make people see red if not done properly. Tag bundles can help simplify this procedure and also improve the use of such document libraries.

Learning Styles: The Cognitive Side of Content
Nice post by Tyler Tate on how to approach content from the perspective of "learning styles".
We learn through our verbal, visual, and kinesthetic senses, and our memories are encoded in these different formats. Each of us likely favors one style of learning over the others, but pithy, concrete text coupled with informative images is a potent content cocktail for people of all learning styles.

Developing a UX Practice of Practicing
A very nice piece by Jared Spool on the art of practicing.
Practice is different. Good practice focuses on the process, while work focuses on the outcome. When doctors, musicians, and pilots are practicing, they are not doing the entire job. They are looking at the process of the work, often repeating the same step multiple times.
For example, when a surgeon practices their suture techniques, they'll use butcher shop animal scraps to practice sewing up incisions. They don't perform the rest of the surgical procedure, because they aren't interested in the outcomes. They just quickly and cleanly close the incision and do it again.

Innovation Always Starts With Empathy
Wonderful article by Ziba rebutting the recent skepticism on the UCD process:
When Ziba investigates a specific user as part of a design project, the end result isn't a set of new products, it's an internal understanding of what that user is like: The challenges she faces each day, the things that excite and concern her, and her motivations and values. If you don't come out of a research effort feeling like a different person, you're doing it wrong.

The new culture of learning
Douglas Thomas and John Seely Brown take on a new challenge - to tell people that it's time to embrace a new culture of learning.
I am reading this book now and I am already excited by the possibilities—possibilities that we can achieve together if only we realize soon enough that "[t]he world is changing faster than ever and our skill sets have a shorter and shorter life".
One beautiful aspect that the authors highlight is the importance of learning "how to learn from others". 'Others' here refers to peers and the community at large. The reason I find this beautiful is because I've come across people who think that teaching is the only way to learn and teachers are the only people who can teach. They seem to gloss over opportunities that lay in normal everyday conversations they have with peers—they don't pay attention to or build on these interactions.
This book should be a must read for managers and leaders—this is where both the challenges and the opportunities lie.

Introducing Insightico!
We launched a new webapp called Insightico. This online application helps you use and reuse your research data.
How many times have you gone back to those interview recordings that you so carefully planned at the start of the project? Or those snapshots you took when surveying how people work? I've spoken to many people in the business and they usually say "never". In fact, some of the interviews we did for past projects are still in the audio recorder!
We want to go back to research, but the problem is that it is a painful process trying to locate that 15 second clip where you saw something interesting.
Insightico addresses this gap by enabling you to add your insights to specific parts of images, documents, audio or video files.
Say you are viewing a 30 min audio interview. You hear something interesting, now instead of noting what you heard and the timestamp on a sticky note, you can just select the part of the audio file and directly add your insights to it. Yes, you can tag your insights as well. Repeat the process with all your research data and now you have an inventory of insights but all connected to the relevant bits in the sources. This inventory along with the tags gives a good picture of the research findings.
The most important feature of Insightico—you can do all of this collaboratively with your team.
Check Insightico out by signing up for the beta.

Changing IT Mindsets From Deployment To Adoption
Mike Gotta makes a nice point about the need to really unpack user adoption when it comes to collaborative apps.
When it comes to collaboration, knowledge management, and E2.0 efforts, "culture" is often cited as the reason results fail to meet expectations set when the project is approved. While some projects might acknowledge the need to support post-deployment activities early in the planning stages, strategists and project leaders have consistently told me that they were surprised (and not in a good way) at how they underestimated the effort necessary to gain "adoption" of their solution.

(a guest post for the Wild Things Roundup)
Greetings, readers! Today we have a guest post, from the lovely Katelyn Bradwell in Dallas, Texas. We were chatting on Facebook and she mentioned that she was sipping a prickly pear margarita. Of course I was so excited that I demanded she write a guest post on the subject immediately. I figured it'd also be nice to get a perspective from somewhere other than Southern California for once. Which brings me to my next point: if you'd like to write a guest post about something wild and wonderful from your area, shoot me an email. I'd love to hear more about the flavours that mark your little corner of the world. And now, here's Katelyn:
Prickly Pear Margaritas
I was sipping a prickly pear margarita on the front porch, listening to the pouring rain beat out a quick rhythm on the roof. It was one of those evenings-- suspended between the details of today, and the worries of tomorrow, and also suspended between Summer and Autumn, on the cusp of a few things at once. You could feel it. And you could tell the summer was ending. Here in Texas, with the onset of the monsoons, the tunas (the fruits of the prickly pear) begin growing. By the time the last ones ripen into that deep red and purple color, it is Fall. Their ripening heralds the season change, and also my very favorite time of year-- impromptu porch party time-- when it is still warm, but cool enough to enjoy the evenings. When the plants return to life, springing from their summer dormancy with vigor and joy, and when new resident plants are welcomed into my garden. And also when the humans begin to step out of their air-conditioned hibernation to enjoy nature and neighbors once more. Friends show up unannounced and welcome, and I just happen to have enough margarita left over in my makeshift cocktail shaker to share. We stay up chatting, and laughing, and enjoying the perfect night, until way too late. Because where most of the Northern hemisphere is beginning to bunk down for a long winter, in Texas, Fall is our Spring; the rush of life is renewed. Plants grow, ripen, and set seed, in a chaotic rush before Winter arrives. The excitement is tangible, and these little exuberant fruits embody that completely.
You can't help but notice prickly pear fruits. They beckon from locations as varied as the median of a massive highway in central Dallas, to front yards, parks and empty abandoned fields. Every time I slice one of the fruits open I'm struck by the depth of colour-- it reminds me of stained glass windows in a cathedral. When cooking with tunas, I like to make things that highlight that color. And prickly pear infused margaritas do just that. They are also perfect for impromptu porch parties. The flavor is light, and reminiscent of a floral, citrussy cucumber; combined with lime and tequila tunas are really at their best.
I always play a bit with proportions of this recipe at the end, adding a bit more of this or that, to taste. It is a fairly basic margarita; tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and simple syrup. I infuse the tunas into both the tequila and simple syrup to make sure the flavor really comes through.
A word of warning: try not to get so distracted by the splendor of the fruit that you are caught by the invisible glochid monster (the tiny, ever-present prickly and painful hairs on the skin of the fruit). Harvest with tongs and a knife, handle with tongs or gloves, and even after you think the glochids are gone, still handle with care. I personally have had too many run-ins with evil glochids already. They hurt and are annoyingly difficult to retrieve from your fingers. A plantain (plantago spp.) spit poultice can help if you do get stuck.
Prickly Pear Margarita
Adapted from Emeril Lagasse
2 ounces Prickly Pear Infused Tequila
2 ounces Prickly Pear Syrup
1 ½ ounces Fresh Lime Juice
½ ounce Triple Sec
Turbinado Sugar (for making the syrup and garnishing glasses)
To make the infused tequila:
Burn the glochids (invisible, evil, painful, tiny spine-like hairs of the prickly pear) off by holding the fruit over a flame on the stove-top, rotating to expose all sides to the flame. This doesn't take long, and you can hear them sizzle and occasionally see one explode in a little mini-flash, which will keep you entertained during the process. Cut your tunas in quarters and fill a glass jar loosely (any size jar will do, depending on how much tequila you want), leaving a bit of space at the top, and then fill again with a fine tequila of your choosing (use 100% agave tequila). Infuse for 2-5 days, shaking occasionally. I find longer than that isn't necessary: the fruit begins to fall apart and has lost most of it's color by day 5.
If you need it quicker than that, no problem. Cut very ripe tunas in half lengthwise, and scoop the fruit out of the skin with a spoon or knife. Chop roughly. Fill your jar about 70% full with the chopped, skinned tunas, and then fill with tequila. Shake it up a bunch. Smash the fruit up with the spoon a bit a few times. Your tequila will be ready in 12-24 hours. Shake whenever you think of it.
When finished strain through a sieve or cheesecloth.
To make the simple syrup:
Cut 4 large tunas in half lengthwise and scoop the fruit from the skins with a spoon or knife. Cut each tuna into a few pieces. Then combine the fruits with 2 cups water and 1 cup turbinado sugar in a medium pan. Stir well and simmer over low-medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring regularly. Strain fruit through a sieve and press the fruit well through the screen, leaving seeds behind. I use more water than a traditional simple syrup calls for because the tunas are quite mucilaginous, and this thickens the syrup a bit, and also because too much sweetness can overpower the unique tart flavors that are the signature of this drink.
To make the margarita:
If you have a cocktail shaker, use it. I just toss it all in a clean mason jar, and shake away. Lightly dust a plate with turbinado sugar (with a pinch of cayenne, if you're adventurous), and put some lime juice in a saucer. Dip the rim of your glass in the lime juice, and then the sugar. Add ice, and pour your margarita from the shaker to the glass. Garnish with a lime. And cheers to the fall-spring!

Everyone is invited! Dharma Drink is all about building community amongst the Buddhist and like minded crowd in New York City. Greg, the founder, was inspired to start Dharma Drink by hanging out with all of the great students of all of the different lamas in Kathmandu - Kagyu, Nyingma, Sakya, Gelug - totally Rimey (also Zen, Thai, Theravadan, yoga travelers, and the curious - just about everyone!). Everyone became great friends and learned from each other. We're there every Friday night - see you there.
Motivation: To make the Rubin Museum Lounge on Friday night the Buddhist and like-minded hang-out spot in New York. If you like Buddhas or to meditate - then you'll love the Rubin!

They say that an Englishman's home is his castle. The phrase might not have literal meaning for most Britons, but buying a castle is not as unusual as you might think. For history buffs or buyers with a romantic imagination, a range of castles are on the market in Britain with the majority in Scotland. A lot of these castles also come with substantial grounds containing parkland, forests or rivers full of fish.
The following castle homes are for sale or rent in Britain and are presented in order of the least to most expensive. Many of the castles have ancient foundations and all of them are steeped in history once belonging to knights, royalty, aristocracy or the occasional rock star.

The White House said Saturday it was "concerned" about apparent Russian attempts to "increase tension," as Ukraine said Russian forces had moved on regions outside of Crimea for the first time.
"We remain concerned about any attempt by Russia to increase tensions or threaten the Ukrainian people, and as we have long said, if Russia continues to take escalatory steps there will be consequences," National Security Council spokesperson Caitlin Hayden said in a statement provided to Business Insider.
The White House's latest warning to Russia came after Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs accused Russia of an "invasion" of its mainland — and the day before a controversial referendum is set to determine if Crimea splits from Ukraine.
In a statement, Ukraine's foreign ministry said 80 Russian troops supported by four helicopter gunships and three armed combat vehicles seized a gas-pumping station near the village of Strilkove. The village sits in the region just north of Crimea, and appeared to be the first move by Russian forces outside Crimea. Russian forces have occupied Crimea for much of the last month.
The foreign ministry further declared in its statement that it "reserves the right to use all necessary measures to stop the military invasion by Russia," and demanded that Russia "immediately withdraw its military forces from the territory of Ukraine."
An unnamed Russian official told The Telegraph the move had been made to guard against "terrorist attacks." Russia's foreign ministry said, meanwhile, it had received "many requests" to protect people in Ukraine.
Tensions have increased in regions outside of Crimea recently. At least one person died and 17 were wounded in clashes in the city of Donetsk on Thursday. Many observers, including U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) on Saturday, have accused Russian provocateurs of attacking Ukrainians.
Crimea is set to hold a referendum on Sunday that will determine whether the region secedes from Ukraine. It is largely expected Crimea will vote to secede from Ukraine and possibly vote in favor of annexation with Russia.
In New York on Saturday, Russia vetoed a U.S.-led resolution at the United Nations Security Council that would have declared the referendum illegal. The U.S. and other Western countries view the referendum as illegitimate and illegal, and have threatened Russia and President Vladimir Putin with sanctions.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry met for approximately six hours on Friday with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, but there was no progress toward a "common vision" on Ukraine.
Kerry said Lavrov made it clear Putin would not make any further decisions on Ukraine until after the referendum on Sunday. Kerry reiterated, however, that the United States and the international community would not recognize the expected results of the referendum.
"That is a decision of enormous consequence with respect to the global community," he said.
Lavrov said after the meeting with Kerry that Russia "doesn't and can't have any plans to invade southeastern regions of Ukraine."

Welch's Introduces Jelly-Filled Licorice
Philadelphia-based Frankford Candy LLC partnered with Welch's, Concord, Mass., the processing and marketing subsidiary of the National Grape Cooperative, to create Welch's Filled Licorice!, an innovative new entry into the rapidly growing licorice category.
The first licorice of its kind, the literally juicy-flavored licorice has a jelly filling made with real fruit juice and fruit pectin, delivering both soft and chewy licorice textures. It comes in two flavors, Concord Grape and Strawberry.
"We are tremendously excited about the debut of Welch's Filled Licorice," says Kurt Dungan, vice president of marketing for Frankford Candy. "The licorice category doesn't need just another fruit flavored licorice. Our goal with Welch's was to create a unique, great-tasting product that leverages Welch's brand strength with consumers. We've combined the bold, fruit flavors you'd expect from Welch's with a soft, smooth licorice texture that the whole family will enjoy."
"This is a fun innovation for the category that appeals to a broad audience," adds Lino Marrero, business development manager at Welch's. "Kids will love the soft, easy-to-chew texture and the fun jelly filling while adults will appreciate the bolder, real fruit flavors."
Suggested retail price for a 1.75-oz. bag is $1.09, and a 3.5-oz. bag is $1.59.

The unveiling of a National Broadband Plan in 2010 by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission got mostly good reviews from the technology and telecommunications industries as well as the White House.
At the same time, though, some skeptics suggested that the cost of the project, estimated at $12 billion to $25 billion at the time, and its reliance on an industry with limited competition, would one day force the FCC to cut back on its lofty goal of bringing 100M bits per second (bps) broadband service to 100 million U.S. homes by about 2020.
The skeptics may have been right as major U.S. carriers have started to seek relief from their vow to support the plan as its enormous costs become clearer.
Computerworld offers a Tip of the Hat to Newsweek's David K. Johnston for his look at proposed legislation and agreements in multiple states that would let the carriers avoid having to expand broadband service to rural areas both in limited population states like Montana and North Dakota, and parts of northeastern states like New Jersey.
The story, Telecom Giants Drag Their Feet on Broadband for the Whole Country, offers one strong look at the state of the FCC's plan today and offers a take on where things may end up.

New Bern Alderman Dana Outlaw filed forms with the Craven County Board of Elections to set up a committee to raise funds for a bid at the mayor�s position in this year�s election.
New Bern Alderman Dana Outlaw filed forms with the Craven County Board of Elections to set up a committee to raise funds for a bid at the mayor�s position in this year�s election.
�Many citizens are under the impression that the filing date is here and are bewildered that I haven�t announced,� Outlaw said in a prepared statement. �While early announcements can be a means for one to get a jump on the competition, it has a negative impact on the daily operation of the city.�
Outlaw, representing Ward 6, spoke out against Aldermen Sabrina Bengel of Ward 1 and Denny Bucher of Ward 3 when they announced they had filed organization forms earlier in the month to run for mayor.
Outlaw said he thought it was a �breach of etiquette� for incumbents not to wait for the filing date, which is July 8, before announcing their intentions and getting a head start on other possible candidates.
�The staff should be able to concentrate on the day to day operations of the city rather than the demands of the election season,� Outlaw said in statement Wednesday. �Specifically, ensuring that one candidate does not receive favors over other candidates thereby connoting a better record of accomplishments. While this may seem trivial, it really does affect the productivity of the city staff.�
Outlaw said for that reason he does not plan to announce his candidacy for mayor until July 8.
�That said, I realize it�s fairly common knowledge that I intend to run for mayor,� he said. �I feel compelled to say that now for the sake of clarification.�
Outlaw, who graduated from East Carolina University with a degree in marketing research and business administration, is involved in a self-storage and real estate consulting and appraisal business in New Bern. He is a past chairman of the N.C. Appraisal Board.
Since 1978 Outlaw has been involved in many local civic groups including past president of the New Bern Rotary Club, past member of the Craven Community College Foundation Board, past Master of St. John�s No. 3 Masonic Lodge, past president of the New Bern Board of Realtors, past president of Partners in Education, and past director of the New Bern Fireman�s Museum.
Outlaw was elected alderman of Ward 6 in 2005.
In addition to Outlaw, mayoral candidates include Bengel and Bucher, and Edwin Vargas, a civilian employee at Cherry Point air station who announced in March he had formed a committee to run for New Bern mayor.
According to the Craven County Board of Elections, no one else had filed to set up an organizational committee to run for mayor as of Friday.
Two men have also filed to set up organizational committees to run for seats on the New Bern Board of Aldermen. Sammy Dodd will be running for Alderman Bernard White�s seat in Ward 5 and Ashley Smith is running for Outlaw�s Ward 6 position.
The city election is Oct. 8. If a runoff is needed it will be Nov. 5.

Space Telescope Science Institute
Astronomers have uncovered one of the youngest galaxies in the distant universe, with stars that formed 13.5 billion years ago, a mere 200 million years after the Big Bang. The finding addresses questions about when the first galaxies arose, and how the early universe evolved. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope was the first to spot the newfound galaxy. Detailed observations from the W.M. Keck Observatory on Mauna Kea in Hawaii revealed the observed light dates to when the universe was only 950 million years old; the universe formed about 13.7 billion years ago. Infrared data from both Hubble and NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope revealed the galaxy's stars are quite mature, having formed when the universe was just a toddler at 200 million years old. The galaxy's image is being magnified by the gravity of a massive cluster of galaxies (Abell 383) parked in front of it, making it appear 11 times brighter. This phenomenon is called gravitational lensing.

Arthur's Pass: Edwards - Otehake route
The east-coast end of the track starts beside SH 73, 5 km south of Arthur's Pass village, just after the Mingha Bluffs
1 / 2
SH73 to Edwards Hut
Time: 4 - 5 hr
Five kilometres south of Arthur's Pass village, cross Bealey River just above its confluence with Mingha River. If the river is high and not easy to cross, save this trip for another day. The track begins at the bush edge downstream of the Edwards-Mingha confluence. Look for the orange markers and a sign on the river flats which mark the start of a 20- minute track to bypass the Edwards gorge (negotiable if the river is low).
When the track emerges onto the riverbed, travel upstream on the true left, climbing the bank once or twice when necessary. Cross the East Branch (difficult when high) just above the point where it joins the main river. Pick up the well-defined, marked bush track 100 metres up the East Branch on the opposite bank. There are a few steep sections—one with a hand chain to help—and the odd glimpse of waterfalls in Edwards River.
The track leads to a large upland valley, emerging finally among red tussocks on the upper river flats (take care here as it is easy to lose the track in the maze of tussocks). The track leads back into the forest for a short section before emerging on the river flats with a clear view to Edwards Hut (14 bunks). Total time from the road is about 4–5 hours, the junction with the East Branch being a bit under halfway.
Edwards Hut is on radio link to Arthur's Pass Visitor Centre, monitored during office hours. Some groups have had difficulty reaching the visitor centre on this radio so please read the instructions carefully. Edwards Hut has a log burner for heating but you will need your own cooker and utensils.
Edwards Hut – Taruahuna Pass – Otehake Hut
Time: 5 hours
From Edwards Hut continue upstream along the true left bank over tussock flats or in the riverbed to the summit of Taruahuna Pass. Travel is slow, but on easy gradients and sometimes helped by well-trodden paths. The pass itself is a huge pile of mountain debris, the result of landslides from Falling Mountain triggered by a large earthquake in 1929.
This area is subject to avalanche activity during the winter. During heavy snow conditions, we advise visitors to not travel this route unless sufficiently equipped and experienced to assess the conditions and choose a safe path through avalanche terrain.
Veer right on the landslide debris towards the bottom of the slopes below Tarn Col. Scramble down through rocky terraces, moving towards the true left side of the valley to pick up the cairned route which continues down several streams.
Otehake Hut to Otehake Footbridge
Time: 7 - 9 hr
Travel down the Otehake is much slower than the distance on the map would indicate. The river itself cannot be followed and should be used only where the route leads to it. Parties intending to travel out to the main road in one day down the Otehake should be fit and leave early.
While this unmarked route does not cross over the Otehake itself, you do need to enter the stream to get around a bluff and reach the section of track that bypasses the last gorge above the footbridge. There are also several side streams that can rise rapidly and become uncrossable. Consider the weather, state of the river and fitness of the party before venturing down the Otehake.
Note: There are no further huts or shelters on this route.
From the hut, the route sets off through bush on the true left, travelling for a short distance along a flat river bank but soon moving into much steeper country—characteristic of the going all the way to Lake Kaurapataka. The track weaves its way above gorges and bluffs, usually 90 to 250 metres above the river, crossing ridges and the beds of steep side streams. Much of the going is slippery with moss-covered rocks and greasy tree roots. Care is constantly needed, particularly where the ground falls away steeply towards the river. A hand-line (15 metres) may be required to safely climb and haul packs up the northern bank of the last creek before you descend towards Whaiti Stream. Take care—do not trust the hand-lines left here.
The route is occasionally marked but not well maintained and not always clearly defined. A large slip before Whaiti Stream is dangerous to cross. Travel off the track is very difficult so if you have not seen track markers for 100 metres, you should back-track to the last known marker and look around to find the track. Generally, the track gradually sidles rather than making rapid changes in altitude, except to cross side gullies.
After about four hours the track drops into the Otehake 200 metres above Whaiti Stream.
This stream often rises rapidly to become impossible to cross. Twenty-five metres below the stream the track begins again; climb the steep bank on the left to enter thick bush.
A further hour and a half of similar going brings you back to the river, 200 metres upstream of an island in the riverbed.
There are good campsites on the island and a hot sulphur spring in the old riverbed on the far side. The spring is small but worth a visit if the river is readily fordable. Do not immerse your head in the spring as there is a risk of contracting amoebic meningitis.
From the island, travel is in or beside the riverbed for about 1.5 kilometres. A steep track leaves the river on the true left just before a bluff. This section of the track climbs and descends steeply to avoid a gorge in the river. It is marked but not well defined. If the river is readily fordable it is quicker to stay in the riverbed to the footbridge, however a deep crossing (short swim!) may be necessary in the gorge.
Otherwise, follow the track, being careful on steep and slippery sections. At an easily-missed junction in the track you can either turn right to return to the river and the Otehake footbridge or take the left track to continue climbing, eventually joining the Lake Kaurapataka track.
Remember: Allow plenty of time for the Otehake.
Otehake Footbridge - Lake Kaurapataka - Pfeifer Creek - Taramakau River - SH 73
Time: 5 hr
From here the going is easier.
For those who chose to travel down the river from the hot springs, a marked track enters the bush on the true left about 200 metres below the foot bridge and climbs steeply for about 10 minutes to a track junction at the eastern end of Lake Kaurapataka. Follow the Lake Kaurapataka track along the south side of the lake. The track follows the lake edge for the first 20 minutes then winds its way through lush podocarp forest a little way back from the lake.
About midway along the lake, a short side-track on the right leads to a level grassy area beside the lake suitable for a lunch stop or camp site. From here the track leaves the lakeside, winding through ancient tracts of forest, dropping gently to Pfeifer Creek. The track follows the true right of Pfeifer Creek to the Taramakau valley. Take care of stinging nettle/ongaonga growing beside the track.
Time from the Otehake footbridge: about two hours 30 minutes
Cross Pfeifer Creek to the true left, picking up a short section of track that leads to a 4WD road. Follow this road down the Taramakau valley through grass and gorse-covered flats. Where the road runs beside a small stream, look for a large track marker on the true left riverbank. Cross the stream and pick up the track (marked with stakes).
The track winds in and out of the bush edge for about 1 kilometre before meeting the Otira River flood track to Morrison footbridge. Continue along the right-hand branch, to a small shelter beside the Otira River. Cross the Otira River (if fordable) over to SH 73 at Aickens. A large marker on the opposite bank marks the crossing point.
If Otira River is too high to cross, back-track to the flood track. This track continues up the true right of Otira River for about 2 hours to the Morrison footbridge, which crosses the Otira just below its confluence with Deception River to reach SH 73.
Plan and prepare
• Experience: Suitable for well-equipped and experienced back-country trampers only.
• Best season: Summer and autumn, extreme avalanche danger in winter.
• NZTopomap50: Otira BV20, Cass BV21, Moana BU20, Haupiri BU21
This is a high-level crossing of the Southern Alps/Kā Tiritiri o te Moana. While it is relatively straightforward tramping up the Edwards, it's extremely slow walking on a very rough unmarked route in the Otehake. Carefully consider the weather, state of the rivers and fitness of the party before attempting this trip.
Safety on Arthur's Pass routes
• Allow adequate time. Note the times given for each section are guides only.
• Check snow and weather conditions. Mountain weather forecasts are available from the Arthur's Pass Visitor Centre.
• Know your ability. Arthur's Pass National Park is mountain country. Navigational skills and ability to judge weather and river conditions are essential. Be prepared to turn back if conditions are not safe.
• Never travel alone. This route is difficult.
• Tell someone where you are going. You can fill in a Search and Rescue action card at the Visitor Centre. This must be cancelled on your return.
• Take a map and compass. Topomaps for the area are available to buy or hire from the Arthur's Pass Visitor Centre.
• Cross rivers safely. Take care with river crossings especially after heavy rain. If in doubt, wait it out.
•Note: True right and true left refers to the sides of the valley when looking downstream.
What to expect on a route:
• Challenging day or multi-day tramping/hiking
• Track unformed and natural, rough, muddy or very steep
• Suitable for people with above average fitness. High level backcountry skills and experience, including navigation and survival skills required
• Complete self sufficiency required
• Track has markers, poles or rock cairns. Expect unbridged stream and river crossings
• Sturdy tramping/hiking boots required
If the river is low, it is easier to follow the river through the shingle bluffs to its junction with Lake Sally Stream.
Alternatively, where the river begins to drop away between high shingle bluffs, climb the scree spurs to gain the high terrace on the true left (look for marker poles on the crest). Follow the terrace using a defined but overgrown track through the bush. The route rejoins the riverbed where the Lake Sally side river joins the Otehake. This is about two hours from the summit of the pass.
Ford this side river and continue down the riverbed on the true left for about 15 minutes toward where bush-clad banks draw together. Pick up the marked track on the true left and follow it through bush for about 30 minutes to Otehake Hut (6 bunks) on a small bush-covered flat just above the point where the East Branch of the Otehake joins the West Branch.
