As we move onto the third boss of the Dragon Soul raid encounter, we really see them rachet up the complexity of the fights to a startling degree.
You'd think that they'd give us at least one more boss to acclimitize or something!
But nevertheless, let's dive right in.
The third boss is Yor'sahj and it's a bit of a pain.
The boss himself has a single mechanic to watch out for which is a stacking DoT effect. This is taken care of easily with the standard practice of swapping between the main and the off tank periodically depending on your raid and what your healers are comfortable taking care of.
The fight really gets complicated as he will periodically three different colored "bloods" that look like giant oozes that spawn at the edge of the room and move inward towards the boss.
Each ooze will allow Yor'sahj to cast a different ability and only one ooze can be killed per wave so at any given wave of bloods, you're going to be looking at dealing with two abilities combined that might cause your raid to alter it's positioning or strategy depending on the situation.
The good part about the fight is that there generally isn't all that much for you to keep an eye out for specifically as a tank.
Of the various potential bloods that might be left alive to hit the boss, the one thing you really need to watch out for as you tank him is if the green blood is allowed to reach the boss. At that point, since this blood will allow the boss to inflict a splashing AoE attack on a random target with a range of 4 yards, it's very important that you stay away from other raid members, including your offtank for fear of causing a damage spike that might be impossible for your healers to handle.
The other main thing to watch out for is if either your main or your off tank is a paladin and the blue blood is left to reach the boss at which point, he will summon an add that will drain the mana from every blue bar in the raid, returning it all once it is killed.
If you're the offtank in that situation, be very cautious and alert. While the paladin tank at the time SHOULD have enough of a threat lead to coast on it until the add is killed, it's definitely possible that the add is spawned at the worst of times, right when a vital spell or cooldown needs to be hit and the raid is prevented from doing so due to the lack of mana.
When offtanking this fight, or any fight really, keep your taunt ready when you're not an active tank and your cooldowns close at hand to pick up and hold the boss just long enough to revive your other tank and get the fight back under control.
Best of luck!

Will figure some sort of mischief to get into though I'm sure.
Then back on a plane Saturday to get back in time for Easter.
A whirlwind of a trip. What do they say, going to be going out on the lash? Should be fun.
Wednesday will be the day I take a wander down into Dublin city and I'm really looking forward to it. I've seen the south side of the Liffey inside and out so other than nipping over there for some Indian and a pint or two at a couple of my favourite pubs, maybe a short walk around St. Stephen's Green, I think I'll take a look at the other side of the river this time around. Maybe take a walk up to Glasnevin. See what I can find.
I've seen a lot of Dublin, big and small, and while I enjoy the cathedrals and the museums and the famous old pubs (and Dublin has the most wonderful pubs) I also like the more obscure spots, the alleyways and streets away from the bustle, the less famous Ha'Penny Inn and walking along the Liffey just at that moment when the clouds part and the sun hits the brightly coloured building across the river. Looking forward to finding more hidden gems on this little trip.
Another Oilers' season lurches to an end, groaning as the life seeps out of it. Its tough to cheer for a franchise that has not had an important game in four years and the way management works it may be a while longer yet. As I said a number of months ago, the last time the Oilers were in the playoffs my son was barely eight months old by the end of it. Now he's in school. I was in my thirties, my daughter was two (she is now in grade one and is a voracious reader) and we only had two kids. We didn't have these amazing flying cars and there were only nine provinces in Canada.
Crazy shit.
And when your team sucks bag like the Oilers do you can bet there's little to hang your hat on. Dustin Penner was a pleasure to watch early on and Tom Gilbert is always a joy. Hemsky and Lubo made it fun until they went away. Other than that it was a whole lot of shit basically, so awful that trying to think of joy in this past season is almost impossible but I'll try just because that's the type of guy I am, always look on the bright side, cross to the sunny side of the street etc etc blah blah blah.
Devan Dubnyk's first win was a lot of fun, especially after the club did its best to snatch the victory away at the last possible moment. The fact that he then won his second over the Sharks a couple of days later was nice too. Don't know if he will amount to anything although I would place my bets on him over ADD but it was a nice moment.
Theo Peckham's enthusiastic rambunctiousness.
Mike Comrie's weird return, his engagement 'party' and dropping the mitts the odd time.
Ryan Whitney's promising debut which has made the loss of Lubo a little less painful at this point.
Stortini's willingness to do whatever it takes every time he hits the ice.
Dean Arsene finally making the show, even if just for a cup of coffee.
Alex Plante not looking out of place.
Um, yeah that's about it. Glad I don't spend money on tickets because that's a mighty short and mighty poor list but anyways hooray for those guys!

There are two revolutions going on right now in computing — occurring at opposite ends of the spectrum. At the high end, we're finding that modest systems are capable of handling so-called "Big Data" problems with the tools we're currently inventing. We're also finding that the supercomputing powers of today's servers coupled with their counterparts in the cloud provide more than enough horsepower to perform analysis that was inconceivable a few years ago. On the other end of the spectrum, smart phones are running dual-core processors; and quad-core CPUs are on their way shortly. Driven by this power, phones and tablets can easily run games at full speed, and comfortably serve as scaled-down PCs and laptops. As more cores are added, the "scaled-down" aspect will relate more to things like storage and networking, rather than processing power.
The key link between these two ends of the processing gamut is the reliance on multiple cores to achieve the processing power. In Dr. Dobb's, we have discussed many times the day when software will need to be parallelized to find its way onto any device, because serial code will no longer be welcome. That day is no longer far off.
However, the multiprocessing techniques of old will no longer be sufficient. In days past, when multiprocessing was primarily enabled by a costly platform with multiple single-threaded processors, the general guidelines advised decomposing tasks into threadable functions (functional decomposition) or into chunks of data whose transformation could be parallelized (data decomposition). Today, we recognize that this kind of decomposition, while marginally desirable, is far too coarse-grained. If one large task is broken down into only a handful of medium tasks, chances are good that on many systems, core resources will be left fallow. Rather, the desired goal today is for programs to emit work in chunks called tasks that are pumped into work queues that drive thread pools. The threads in the pools live on endlessly, picking up a new task, executing it, and then returning to the pool for the next item to accomplish.
Most major languages, today, have a thread pool capability built in. (Except for C/C++. The thread pool was, sadly, remanded to a future release. However, Intel's Threading Building Blocks library (TBB), which is available at no cost, is an excellent drop-in solution.) The JVM- and .NET-hosted languages have had threading pools for a long time, and Apple recently added one to its arsenal. The model is surely on the verge of becoming completely ubiquitous.
The reason for this ubiquity is the undeniable set of benefits it delivers. By having work chunked into small tasks, all cores on the runtime system can be put to work. Moreover, load balancing between thread is greatly simplified: As execution pipelines run out of work, a new task is sent to them from the thread pool. Not all approaches are quite so dynamic. TBB tends to have fixed task queues. If one queue starts to fall behind the others, tasks are removed from it by other queues — this is called "work stealing" — and the load is balanced that way. For either approach to function properly, tasks have to be small and quick. Long-running tasks, such as those that can arise from old-fashioned decomposition, are highly unwelcome in this scenario as they gum up the works and reduce the number of cores that can run tasks at any given moment.
As long as programs are being migrated from serial code to multithreading, decomposition is a required step. However, henceforth, it needs to be done with greater granularity.
The real problem going forward is not program decomposition, but composition. Why are we not currently designing programs as a series of small asynchronous tasks? After all, we have already crossed into a world in which we break programs into objects. Why not then into tasks? Properly done, this would move today's OOP more closely to its original intent, which was to focus on the messages passed between objects, rather than the objects themselves (according to the widely quoted observation from Alan Kay, who coined the term "object orientation.")
The problems facing such an approach rest on its profound unfamiliarity. There are few languages that provide all the needs of this model, few frameworks that facilitate its design, and few developers conversant with the problems and limitations of this approach. I'll discuss these in my next editorial. In the meantime, it's worth considering how an existing program broken down into smaller tasks might function. What exactly would it look like?

Power Forward Orlando Sanchez (above) of St. John's.
The NCAA tonight ruled in favor of the appeal brought by St. John's on behalf of Orlando Sanchez, successfully facilitated by high powered eligibility attorney Robert Orr, whom St. John's had retained to make Sanchez's latest appeal. Orr had successfully made the case for UCLA's Shabazz Muhammad, the enormously talented freshman wing player, who had been initially ruled ineligible for the 2012-2013 season, which granted Muhammad his freshman eligibility in November of 2012.
Muhammad has gone on to average 18 PPG and 5 RPG, while leading the Bruins to a 21-7 record this season. UCLA is 11-4 in the PAC-12, tied right now for the conference lead with Oregon, and while they are outside the top 25, they are headed to the dance. What made the Shabazz appeal so crucial for UCLA was the probability that, had Shabazz lost his appeal, the player would have most likely sat out this season and then went directly to the NBA.
Perhaps Orr's help in the Sanchez case can have a similar effect on St. John's next year. The Johnnies have been woefully deficient in the paint this year, and Sanchez, who will be 25 in May, averaged more than 11 RPG and 4 BPG in his last season of JUCO ball. While Lavin has called Sanchez a "shot maker", we think that was more a function of him being political than being truthful. We see Sanchez as an excellent shot blocker, rebounder, and defender with great length (6'9, 215 lbs.) and maturity, and we expect him to be the starting power forward next season. Sanchez may not be known for his offense, but he is already a man who can fill the lane and open things up for St. John's in conference play by playing solid defense.
This season effectively becomes a red shirt season for Sanchez, who will debut for St. John's in November of 2013. St. John's will also have God's Gift Achiuwa returning to next year's squad, giving them considerable veteran beef inside for a deep tournament run. While Gift obviously has his flaws, he was a significant contributor for a lot of last season, and makes a very good looking backup four.
While the decision to grant Sanchez the year of eligibility does mean that right now, St. John's has one scholarship too many allotted for next season. Obviously one guy's got to go, which, with all of the flux surrounding the program in the last 2 years, does not seem far fetched. In our dream scenario, that guy would not be Jakarr Sampson, who we believe would combine with Sanchez and Obepka to form one of the longest and most athletic front lines in the nation. Our dream starting 5 would be rounded out by point guard Jamal Branch and shooting guard and leading scorer D'Angelo Harrison.
We would hope that rather than Sampson declaring for the draft, a little to never used player will transfer, in order to accommodate the recruitment of a potential scorer, such as the speculation surrounding Rysheed Jordan. Though Bourgault has made a contribution on the court, we could most easily live with his departure as opposed to guys like Jones and Balamou, who have more eligibility and greater upsides.
Even if Samspon declares for the draft, we would think that St. John's looks extremely good for next year, especially considering they play their best with Obepka on the floor. With Sanchez next to Obepka, St. John's should control the paint, and Sanchez will probably slide to the 5 when Obepka sits, allowing St. John's to continue to control the low box with Sanchez and Gift.
We'd have suggested Max Hooper as a transfer candidate, and that still may be, although we don't think it's likely that Hooper, who transferred from Harvard, would change schools again. We'd also suppose there is a possibility that Amir Garrett, a strong pitching prospect for the Cincinnati Reds, would give up his basketball scholarship to concentrate on baseball. Such a move would also alleviate the scholarship logjam, although we are keen on having Garrett back on the court next season.
Let's Go Redmen!

Skinny Betty – What This Is All About
We are afloat in a sea of poor research, good intentions, and downright lies. It never ceases to amaze me that we have grown accustomed to and accept lying. This isn't just misunderstandings or nonfactual relay, but downright lying about nutrition and training research.
The result is people starving themselves and overtraining in the name of lower body fat, and not just from our friends and family, but from doctors, dietitians, and trainers themselves.
New fads are born, evils are announced, and panic is induced. Eat this, don't eat that. Do this, never do that! It's coming from all over and like it or not, I am but one more voice. The difference is I come with a weapon of MCD (mass confusion destruction).
I appeal to you not with fear or dogma, but logic, science, and experience. I am here to bring you the people's stories and actual explanations to the things that occur in our bodies. The answers aren't always provocative and fun. I make no promises of quick fixes, but I assure you multiple light bulbs and a-ha moments.
This is not a blog about simple weight loss. This is not a blog to troubleshoot basic problems. That is what my personal program is for. This blog goes deeper. It digs into the heart of why you can't get where you need to go with your body, why you keep hitting walls instead of opening doors, and why there are arguments about elementary scientific facts that should have never come into dispute.
Most importantly, it is the safeguard and foundation for what will hopefully be a lifetime of never feeling helpless about body composition again. The benefits of this can change your entire life.
What Skinny Betty is and Isn't
As of 2012, it is estimated that over 900 million people do not have enough food to supply themselves with proper nutrition. UNICEF states that malnutrition contributes to the death of nearly five million children a year. There are more people going hungry throughout the world than there are citizens of the US, Canada, and the European Union.
And what may be the most significant statistic: every four seconds, someone in the world dies from lack of food.
This blog is about none of those things. Yes, this blog will utilize research, history, and studies based on starvation or refeeding between the ill, but the blog is not about our world's food supply problem or global starvation. In terms of food supply and depending on your location, it could go in either direction. Chances are if you are reading this, you are in a situation where hunger is either a choice or something you have no concept of.
At its most simplistic view, this blog is about helping people understand basic and advanced functions of metabolic behavior. You will use this knowledge to optimize your physical being both in vanity and, to some degree, in health.
This blog is not a lesson in political science, the problems of the third world, or the poor in developing countries.
This blog is not about showing you a magical fruit that cures your ills or the "one exercise you
haven't been doing to stoke your metabolic fire!" It is none of these things.
This blog is the answer to months, years, or decades of questions regarding your metabolism. While this blog is not a cure, and while I am not a doctor, the research is real and so are the
experiences. In a short period of time, you can shift your fragile metabolism to a roaring and optimally functioning one. Hopefully you can do all of this without the aid of medication on a long-term basis (which is where most people end up dealing with the above issues).
As I declare in the disclaimer, seek consulting assistance from an in-person professional while going through this experience, especially in the area of blood results, tests, and metabolic activity.
I have no delusions about my small place in the world, but I also realize I have a power, beyond common sense, to understand something truly complicated and express it in a simple manner. That is the start and end of my abilities. Everything else is the research in the science community.
Before I cover what is in the blog, let me make one more statement.
I don't want to work with people who have "bad" metabolisms.
This isn't what I want my life to be on a daily basis. Don't get me wrong, I will always help those in need of research and answer their questions, but this isn't my niche for life. It's kind of heavy, to be honest, and at times painful.
These journeys are full of tears, and sometimes even death. Frankly, I don't have the stomach for it most of the time. I have never been strong at separating my emotion from work.
That is why I am writing this blog, not to keep people dependent on me for information, but to give them the power of knowledge. When I get another email from someone in tears because their scale is climbing while eating a thousand calories a day and training for a marathon, I can say, "Here, read this."
Questions and Research Covered in This Blog
- What is starvation mode?
- What is re-feeding?
- Should I eat carbohydrates?
- Should I eat fat?
- How much protein should I eat?
- What role do my hormones play in fat loss?
- Is my metabolism damaged? Forever?
- Is it true my metabolism is dying with age?
- Do I have to gain fat to be healthy again?
- Is it okay to not have my period? How can I get it back?
- How can I talk to registered dietitians or doctors?
- How can I get the tests that genuinely help me have the answers?
- How do I eat more calories again?
- Do I have to gain weight?
- Is the weight I gain water or fat?
- Do I need supplements or drugs for a healthy metabolism?
There are more questions answered than this, but this should give you an idea of what I am covering. In a direct or indirect way, those questions and more are answered.
Preparing for the Change in Metabolic Lifestyle and Way of Thinking
If there is one thing I love about science, it is that people will research almost anything. In 2009, we got an answer to an age-old question of our times.
Perhaps it wasn't as earth-shattering as the chicken or the egg dilemma, but it was a close second in importance. In a prospective, randomized, crossover trial carried out at James Cook University, we learned it is indeed less painful to remove a Band-Aid faster.
Sixty-five participants were included in the study. The overall mean pain score for fast Band-Aid removal was 0.92, and for slow Band-Aid removal, it was 1.58. In conclusion, in young, healthy volunteers, ripping a Band-Aid off quickly caused less pain than doing it slowly.
This got me thinking. They compared fast, instantaneous removal to a two-second pull. What would the results have been had they taken a more measured amount of time, say 30 seconds, and applied a light amount of oil to the edges of the Band-Aid?
Yeah, I over analyzed a Band- Aid-yanking study. But that is the point of these things. More questions and more answers.
This situation is not going to be fast and painless. It is more of an over thought, intellectualized, impractical approach to removing a Band-Aid. This journey is going to be one of patience and getting in touch with your body and mind.
There are things we are going to discuss in this blog you may have never heard of. There are other things you may have heard of, but they are hardly relayed in the correct manner.
You are going to read terms like refeeds, breaks, maintenance, leptin, caloric metabolic adaptation, and more. Don't get overwhelmed. This is not a sprint. This is not a Bugatti. This is not a quick ripped
Band-Aid. This is a knowledge marathon.
Changes from my old Blog Metabolic Repair Manual
Anyone who's read my previous blog should note that this isn't an 'edited blog'; it is a complete rewrite. While the core principle of my old blog is still the same, everything about how I am going to deliver it to you and how the principles are applied has changed.
Aside from the glowing changes in editing and layout, you will find there are few comparisons to be made from the original. Maybe 5 percent of the old material is present, if that.
The prime reason for this is clarity.
When it comes to this information, a lot of you ma y experience a diet break for the first time in a long while. To the average person who has a hard time putting down food or contemplating exercise, taking a diet break is a welcome relief.
For others, and perhaps yourself, the introduction of more food, different types of foods, or exercise restriction may be the scariest events of your life. I have seen it take people's lives and destroy families.
In the last blog, I think I missed the boat on the issues that actually matter to you in favor of focusing on just the data or approach. I feel it didn't go deep enough into the right areas to explain more of what to expect, so this blog is an effort to do just that.
The best defense to fear and frustration is education. Education can act as armor against neurosis. I want you to be able to go through this process of self-improvement feeling confident and comfortable with your decisions. In order to do that, I have included scientific research and anecdotal stories. I show you science and introduce you to people who have benefited from it.
The result is a well-rounded blog providing leagues more answers than the original.
Preparing You for How to Read This Blog
You know how food critics love to be told how to eat their meals by a chef? I have found readers just love to be told how to read a blog.
It isn't as if I think you're not smart enough to understand it; I know that's not the case. But this isn't a blog about puppies. I am not writing the sequel to FU Penguin.
This isn't exactly light reading. These things may change your life, and there is no filler here.
Even my random study about Band-Aid pain is beneficial. Because of this, I want to give you a few tips about reading this blog to ensure that you get enough out of it to truly benefit from its contents.
Don't skim
I know what you are thinking: I am a genius; I've always just skimmed through blogs and gotten the gist. Never in history has anyone written a blog and said, "Read the whole thing!" But the thing is, this isn't fictional drama, and it certainly isn't like ignoring the presidential reign of Calvin Coolidge.
If you blink, you could miss something significant that could profoundly affect your life, or even just help you sleep at night. This is also why I provide an audio version of the text. Listen to it or read it, but don't skim it!
Take notes
There is a lot to digest here. There are a lot of little gems or sayings that may spark you to an awakening. Take notes and write down your thoughts about the things I have said and how they make you feel.
Critical minds are not closed minds
People often think critical thinking means cynical thinking. It is actually the opposite! Be open and don't be led by the existing fears or tales spinning around in your mind.
It doesn't matter if these people have ill or well-meaning intentions, they can still be damagingly wrong. Be open to the possibility of questioning previous knowledge no matter what study or convincing argument they provided, even if that knowledge comes from me. You will learn not all arguments and studies are the same. Science is about embracing change. Fear is about avoiding change.
Build a team
I talk about this multiple times, but I think it is vital to have an excellent doctor, a good support system, and even a solid therapist. Use a trainer or dietitian, whoever you need to help you through these times. I can't tell you how many members of my site get help just from making a log and not doing everything by themselves.
Don't get overwhelmed
Take a little of this information in at a time. Don't sprint to finish the blog. Read/ listen to a piece of it, digest it, and then move on when it has settled in. There is no competition. It's better to finish slow with increased knowledge than miss something life-altering. Otherwise, why even spend any time reading a blog?

ASSATEAGUE – While the fierce coastal storm that lashed the mid-Atlantic region in November has become a distant memory for many in the area, officials on Assateague Island are still repairing the damage and making long-term plans to mitigate similar destruction in the future.
Assateague Island National Seashore officials last week announced while much of the repairs on the barrier island have been completed, there is still a considerable amount of work to be done to ensure the park will be ready for the summer season next year.
The mid-November storm ravaged much of Assateague with dunes over-washed and boardwalks, walkways and other man-made structures severely damaged.
Perhaps the most visible aspect of the storm damage on Assateague was the emergence of thousands of old tires on the beach, vestiges of a failed artificial reef project installed off the coast in the 1970s. As of last week, more than 1,800 tires and 40 tons of debris had been removed from the beaches on Assateague, although there is still plenty of evidence of the storm.
Perhaps the most significant damage occurred to the beachside parking lots on Assateague, particularly on the Virginia side of the barrier island. Last week, park officials requested over a half a million dollars from the federal government to repair the damaged parking lots on Assateague alone, according to Superintendent Trish Kicklighter.
"The National Park Service has requested approximately $550,000 in emergency funding to rebuild the parking lots, and if the funding is approved and the weather cooperates, we will have them open in time for the summer season," she said.
Kicklighter said repairing and replacing the parking lots damaged in the storm is only a short-term solution to ready the park for next summer. She said park officials are exploring ideas to move the beachside parking lots to a different, more stable part of the barrier island to avoid similar losses in future storms.
"Keeping the parking lots on the beach is not a sustainable solution," she said. "We must find an alternative location on more stable land that is not threatened by rising sea levels or frequent storm damage."
While finding an alternative location on the naturally migrating barrier island might be a difficult undertaking, Kicklighter said there is likely a workable solution. She said the National Park Service and the Fish and Wildlife Service are trying to find a more permanent solution.
"At this point, we have not identified an alternative site for the parking lots, but one thing is for sure," she said. "Before we abandon the parking lots on the beach, we need to have new parking lots built so there will always be ample parking for island visitors. Both the National Park Service and the Fish and Wildlife Service realize how important those parking lots are to the local community and the county."
Meanwhile, while the repairs to Assateague are ongoing, there are plenty of activities both inside and out during the holiday season for visitors to the barrier island. For outdoor enthusiasts, the national park is offering plenty of fresh air activities including the "Life of the Dunes Walk" and the "Sea S.I. Beach Walk."
In addition, the Assateague Coastal Trust is sponsoring the 30th annual New Year's Day Beach Walk on the barrier island. Participants are urged to meet Ranger Chris Seymour on the Assateague State Park parking lot at 1 p.m. on New Year's Day for the annual event.
"This is the perfect opportunity for families to spend time together exploring the outdoors," said Kicklighter. "Bundle up and join park rangers for a variety of winter activities."
For those who enjoy a warmer atmosphere, the park is offering several opportunities at the Barrier Island Visitor's Center including the aquarium feeding program and the "Assateague Challenge," an interactive program to learn more about the island.
"Bring your family and friends over to the island for a day discovering what Assateague Island has to offer in winter," said Rachelle Daignault, chief of interpretation and education on Assateague.

METAIRIE, La. (AP) Drew Brees happily entertains playoff possibilities for the New Orleans Saints, figuring that the question of whether a 5-6 team deserves to be in the NFC wild card race is irrelevant.
He has a point.
Despite an 0-4 start and their latest loss on Sunday to San Francisco, New Orleans remains one game out with five games left. To Brees, that means the Saints are virtually in control of their playoff fate - even if that is not entirely the case.
``Regardless of how this season started, that seems like so long ago,'' Brees said Monday, a day after New Orleans saw its three-game winning streak snapped. ``We've just come so far since then. We really have everything lined right in front of us. Despite everything, we've got it all right in front of us. We really control our own destiny.''
Had the Saints prolonged their winning streak against the NFC West-leading Niners, they would have arrived at work on Monday tied for the final NFC Wild Card spot at 6-5 because Seattle, Minnesota and Tampa Bay - the teams New Orleans is chasing - all lost on Sunday.
So the Saints head to their Thursday night showdown at NFC South Division rival Atlanta (10-1) still alive for a postseason berth, but with minimal room for error and a tough schedule ahead.
New Orleans will need Seattle, Minnesota and Tampa Bay to lose. Of those teams, only the Buccaneers appear on the Saints' remaining schedule.
``The margin for error is very slight right now. We've kind of used up our nine lives,'' Brees said. ``So we've got to really bear down here and just understand what's at stake every time we step on the field.''
After New Orleans visits Atlanta, its next game is at the NFC East-leading New York Giants, which will cap a string of three straight games against NFC division leaders.
For Brees, even the loss to San Francisco was an indication of how far the Saints have come since stumbling from their offseason bounty scandal to an early season losing streak.
The Saints held a 14-7 lead late in the first half before the Niners returned two interceptions for touchdowns. The Saints still rallied for another touchdown and remained very much in the game in the second half.
``It's tough because I know we played well enough to win in so many ways and yet, two plays like that can just completely change the outcome of a game, which obviously those did. I was really encouraged walking away from that game in a lot of ways,'' Brees said. ``I feel like we can beat that team, should beat that team. But listen, they're really, really good. They're going to be in the hunt just like we want to be in the hunt. We might see them later on. For us, it's a short week. We've got to be able to turn it right around.''
Meanwhile, the Saints' defense, although still ranked last in the NFL, continued showing improvement, giving up a relatively few 17 points to the 49ers' offense and allowing fewer than 400 total yards for the first time all season.
``The defensive guys came out and played with the right attitude,'' first-year defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo said, adding that there is ``more confidence in our room than before.
``We need to carry that into Atlanta because this is another good offense that we're facing and we don't have a lot of time to prepare,'' Spagnuolo continued. ``We are getting better as a unit. It is coming together. There's no question. Guys are making plays. They're more comfortable. There's more reacting than reading. A lot less tentative play.''
Before losing to the Niners, the Saints had rallied to even their record at 5-5 and re-establish themselves as realistic playoff hopefuls.
``I feel no differently about our football team right now than I did yesterday morning when we woke up and (had) won five of our previous six games,'' assistant head coach Joe Vitt said. ``This team works hard. This team is together. This team does not point fingers. We are moving on.''
Brees noted that when a good team loses, it can't wait to get back on the field, so that is what is good about playing on Thursday night.
However, it leaves less time to recover from injuries - and New Orleans had a few.
Safety Isa Abdul-Quddus, a reserve who plays regularly, left the game after a heavy collision over the middle with Niners tight end Delanie Walker. Coaches said Abdul-Quddus is due for some concussion testing this week and his status for Thursday is unclear.
Also out Thursday will be rookie right tackle Bryce Harris, who left the first quarter of his first start on Sunday with a lower right leg injury. Harris had been pressed into a starting role following injuries to regular starter Zach Strief (left groin) and his backup, Charles Brown (right knee).
Harris' injury forced Will Robinson, signed to the roster last week, to step in.
Vitt said Strief could be ready on Thursday. Still, the Saints were bringing in several free-agent linemen for tryouts, Vitt said.

Konishiki at Whisky Live
Konishiki! If I had known Konishiki was going to be there, I would have bunked off work. For those for whom that name does not evoke nostalgia for a better time when sumo was not being spoiled by bullying Mongolian interlopers, but instead by monstrous Hawaiian interlopers: Konishiki was a legendary sumo wrestler in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Konishiki (right) wrestling
Konishiki was the archetypal big fat sumo wrestler. Indeed, if you have seen a picture of a big fat sumo wrestler, there is a very good chance it was him. He was the heaviest sumo rikishi in history at a fighting weight near the end of his career of over 280 kg. But the Hawaiian was not just big, he was also a very good wrestler: the first foreign wrestler to reach the elite rank of ozeki. There was a lot of controversy at the time that he wasn't made yokozuna, the highest honour, but that is an argument for another day. He has been the most successful of the foreign rikishi in establishing himself in Japan post-retirement. He is a television personality, with regular gigs on NHK children's TV as well as numerous TV ads and records to his name.
Anyway, Konishiki was at Whisky Live Tokyo at Odaiba on Sunday! Appropriate really: there are few better ways to drink whisky in Japan than over late night re-runs of the day's sumo bouts. As I said previously, work commitments meant I could not attend this year's event. I am kicking myself. I hope to get a report from the organisers on how things went and I am still pleading for any reports readers can send in (japanesewhisky gmail). Nonjatta reader John has been nice enough to send his impressions:
"I am new to the world of whisky but I had a great time at the Whisky Live 2010 Tokyo event. I joined the following seminars: Yamazaki, Hakushu and Hibiki. Although, there was some overlap (Suntory Family). it was informative and worth the money.
Was unable to see the Punk piper show, but did see the cocktail: a "KonyD" named after the "Big" Special guest Koninshiki. The D stands for grated daikon, with whiskey and creme/milk. A little exotic, but was popular with a few female guests. My only regret - Why is this held on a Sunday?
You can see some of the slides and pics from the event at http://whiskeylive2010tokyo.shutterfly.com/"
The photo at the top is from the shutterfly slideshow. The Konishiki wrestling image is a still from NHK coverage.

- Further information
Born in Berlin, Germany, Helmut Newton emigrated to Australia in 1940. He married actor June Browne with whom he relocated to Europe in the late 1950s. By the 1970s, Newton had gained a reputation with his high-contrast photographs of erotically-charged Amazonian models. His oeuvre is regarded as one of the most important in photographic history for his representation of women not as passive objects in the economy of images but persuasive subjects. He said in 1987 that much of his most renowned work would never have been made were it not for his wife's encouragement: 'When [June] was really sick, I truly didn't think I would take another picture....She got me back into it...Women are much stronger than men – in every possible way. I truly believe that.'

Everyone has regrets and, according to Happify, a website and app that offers psychology-based games to increase your happiness, 90% of us regret something major.
Our regrets can range from the career we chose to the romantic partner we didn't. And while it may not feel good, regret can be a positive force in our lives if we use it right, according to Happify. It can help us understand past experiences and avoid future mistakes.
Some of the more interesting facts about regret, from the graphic below:
25% of us regret sharing a selfie.
An analysis of 13,500 tweets found that we make our regrets public when we're looking for social support.
29% of adults 34 or younger have posted something on social media that they think can harm their career.
44% of women have romantic regrets, while only 19% of men do.
Older people feel regret more keenly than younger people, and it hurts their health and well-being more.
We can't escape regret, but with the help of Happify, we can learn about it. The company compiled stats on our most common regrets, how to deal with them, and how to use them to move forward. Check them out:

The 2012-2013 season marks the dawn of a new era for Terra Nova girl's basketball team. The five-time Peninsula Athletic League champs seek their sixth consecutive title.
Over those five seasons the Lady Tigers have posted a record of 49-1. Their last league lost was in 2010 against Mills High School. The Lady Tigers have also won the last four San Mateo County championships. Combine the record overall and the Lady Tigers are 61-1.
Head Coach Kareem Summerville, entering his fifth season, says Terra Nova will look a little different this season.
"We return four really good players- "We lost our top three scorers but we return four really good players," said Summerville. The Tigers will carry a 27 consecutive league winning streak into the New Year.
Summerville said the growing pains shouldn't be as severe with seniors Autumn Ragler, Lynette Mackey, Courtney Trainor and transfer Jazel Talauta spuring high hopes for the season. The lost of talented junior guard Mailiyah Alapati, shelved with an injury, is a big blow as she won't be available until mid -January.
Mackey recently signed a letter of intent to play at Cal State. She will be called on to lead the Tigers back to the Central Coast Section playoffs. Terra Nova will be getting a talent boost from sophomores Adrianna Sheehy and Carelaine Viola moving up to the varsity. Sophomore Mira Avila who would have contributed this season on the varsity was lost for the year with a tore ACL. Look for her to be back next season. Vina Kafoa, Lusi Bale and Xiomara Williams will be counted on to step up into more prominent roles.
The Tigers had a long off season to think about their upset loss to Sacred Heart Cathedral in last year's CCS championship game and their lost to Modesto Christian by two points in the Nor Cal State play offs. Developing depth beyond the starting five will be key as the Tigers deal with a tough schedule, including the Terra Nova varsity tournament, St. Ignatius, Sacred Heart Cathedral, Presentation, Monte Vista of Danville and Pleasant Grove. The good thing is Terra Nova has the talent to make that disappointing season-ender a distant memory.
The Peninsula Athletic League structure is returning to the former geographic North and South divisions. This year Terra Nova will face its old nemesis that includes in no particular order Jefferson, Westmoor, El Camino, Oceana, South San Francisco and Half Moon Bay. What's at stack currently the Lady Tigers have a 27 game league winning streak heading into league this year.
Terra Nova opens the season against Washington of Fremont at Dec. 4. Tip-off is 7:45 p.m. at Terra Nova.

Nobody likes to admit to hoarding. But, face it, once you've accumulated ... stuff ... it's hard to imagine just getting rid of it.
Unless, of course, you're faced with downsizing, setting up new quarters in a dorm room or simply moving away and paring down.
IKEA has come up with some nifty solutions to what to do with all the stuff we've acquired over the years -- or even days -- and simply don't know how or where to store it. In a series of vignettes, IKEA's interior designers have proposed "small space solutions." Furniture or cabinets are tagged with clues, such as "I am a double tasker."
Here's a sample of what was found on a recent tour:
· a fold-out sofa bed with the above tag;
· a wardrobe with sliding doors (so no floor space is taken up by swinging open the closet doors);
· a side table that opens up to serve six;
· a kitchen table that does triple duty as a desk, craft center and eating area;
· folding chairs that could be hung on hooks;
· a vertically organized closet, with two sets of baskets, two hanging rods and a roll-out shoe shelf;
· a handy hook in the few inches of space where the closet didn't quite fit the space, allowing room to hang a folded ironing board;
· a hinged mirror that opens up to reveal keys on ... more hooks;
· chairs that can be stored in a stack;
· lids attached to magnets hung above the drawer for stacking-pot storage;
· a twin bed with two mattresses stacking into a couch, similar to a trundle bed, but with way more storage underneath.
"The idea is to make use of storage without feeling surrounded by clutter," Jennifer Reboh, interior design manager, said. That means utilizing walls, maximizing odd spaces at the side of closets or tucking things under or inside cabinets.
Several of the store vignettes suggest multipurpose for the small rooms. One offered a sofa with stacking end tables with a bed up a ladder in a loft, screened by a curtain. Opposite the couch are cabinets with a roll-out desk to hold a laptop computer, plus space to store files. Along the same wall, a kid-height counter with a chair accommodates a small child's toys and books. A flat-screen TV rounds out the room.
In another, which could be inspiration for a guest or summer house, a row of three bunk beds sleeps six, with curtains cordoning off the spaces.
"We use textiles to communicate a room within a room," Reboh said, pointing to the bunk beds, the loft bed, as well as in a walk-in closet.
Both Reboh and Vanessa Garcia, IKEA's local marketing specialist, emphasized the flexibility of IKEA's Pax closet system, with its customizable interior fittings that include baskets and storage cubes.
In one vignette, pieces of two Pax closet systems are placed back-to-back. On one side is a walk-in closet; on the other the bed is centered between two cabinets. Across the room is a narrow side table that can be rolled over the bed, to serve as a desk, just in case one wants to work in bed.
Not all the designs are super modern. The Hemnes series offers a more traditional look, including a hutch that opens to become a desk.
"Organization is key to being able to live in a small space," Reboh said. "The box doesn't do anything, but organizing lets you maximize a small space."
Many people dream of a large, country kitchen, but in reality have small spaces, she added. That's how IKEA came up with the stove and sink on a peninsula (or island, depending on how much space one has). Plenty of hooks hold those odd-shaped sieves, sifters and ladles that tend to get lost in drawers.
Recently, IKEA has invited customers to upload pictures showing just how well they've utilized their products. To see what others have done, visit the Share Space (or check out the design blog or YouTube).

Some in GOP want sequester deal
One thing is becoming clear: Republicans want to find a way to replace the cuts in the sequester, despite some loud rhetoric to the contrary.
Top House Republican aides privately concede that the politics of allowing the cuts to hit — layoffs, furloughs and a stalled economic recovery — are tough to stomach and they would prefer to make a deal, on their terms of course.
Story Continued Below
Speaker John Boehner signaled the growing GOP discomfort at his weekly news conference: "Let me make clear: I don't like the sequester." Boehner's words are a sign that, while some Republicans are comfortable with steep and immediate reductions in federal spending, leadership would prefer to avoid them.
( Also on POLITICO: Cabinet under 'gag order' on sequester)
"I think it's taking a meat ax to our government, a meat ax to many programs and it will weaken our national defense," Boehner said. "That's why I fought to not have the sequester in the first place. But the president didn't want to have to deal with the debt limit again before his reelection."
A top GOP leadership aide, speaking anonymously to divulge internal thinking, laid out 10 options that the House GOP leadership would be willing to accept, along with savings estimates developed by GOP policy aides, in order to avoid the sequester.
But any deal to avoid it comes with a major caveat: if Boehner doesn't get the cuts he's looking for, he's more than willing to let the sequester go into effect.
( Also on POLITICO: Sequestration: Where will cuts hit?)
"That is correct, I will," he said, when asked if he would allow the sequester to hit if he doesn't get his reforms.
This is not, by any means, a House GOP offer but simply is an attempt to jump-start the negotiating process with President Barack Obama. The president offered his own framework to stop the sequester — which takes effect March 2 — through "balanced" cuts to spending and reforms to the Tax Code that would raise revenue. The House GOP has passed bills to replace the sequester, but they've been ruled out by the Senate.
The Republican list of possible ways to replace the sequester and implement spending cuts includes a variety of proposals that have been raised repeatedly in previous fiscal debates over the debt ceiling and the fiscal cliff. They also don't include additional revenue, which Obama has insisted on.

Birth Defects While on Chemotherapy
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
concern is about the likelihood of my getting pregnant while he's on chemo. We are certainly not planning on it, and I have been on the [oral contraceptive] pill for 10 years, but what are the chances we would have an accident? And what kind of birth defects are expected? The drug guides don't really get that specific. Thank you!
Vicki Sherry, MSN, CRNP, Advanced Practice Oncology Nurse, responds:
The risk is theoretical, that is, there is no real data on chemotherapy's effect on male sperm or female eggs. Any chemotherapy can lead to birth defects. It is strongly recommended NOT to have children while your husband is taking chemotherapy. Chemotherapy works by damaging DNA and cell development. Using two forms of birth control, such as the pill and a barrier method (condoms), may increase the success rate of preventing an "accident".
There has been research on chemo's effects on fetuses. Here is a quote from a recent article:
The majority of the information on the effects of in utero exposure to chemotherapy has been derived from retrospective case reports and series. Overviews of the available data have concluded that the timing of chemotherapy exposure (first trimester versus second and third trimesters) as well as the chemotherapeutic agent or agents used affect the risk of spontaneous abortion and miscarriage as well as that of congenital abnormalities. Although there are data from a prospective series of 24 pregnant breast cancer patients treated at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, there are limited case series in women with hematologic malignancies, with the largest series having 89 pregnancies, that indicate that the fetuses exposed to chemotherapy in utero in the second and third trimesters can be carried to term, be born without evidence of congenital abnormalities, and develop normally. Clearly, ongoing prospective collection of data on the children born to women undergoing therapy for cancer is necessary.

Reid plotting to stay in power
Republicans are eager for November 2016 — and not just because Barack Obama's presidency will be in its final days.
It's when Harry Reid, the man reviled by Republicans for his inflammatory rhetoric and hardball tactics during the government shutdown, could be booted from his Nevada Senate seat.
Story Continued Below
Reid knows it — and he's quietly plotting his plans more than three years out.
In an interview from his Senate office last week, the 73-year-old majority leader insisted he's running for reelection in 2016. He's ramping up his campaign organization, and he's getting ready for the onslaught the GOP is preparing to send his way.
( PHOTOS: Harry Reid's career)
Already, he's begun seeking commitments from aides to stay with him through 2016. He's spending more time fundraising everywhere from New York to Southern California. And he's not afraid to issue a warning to a potential GOP opponent, Gov. Brian Sandoval of Nevada, who — if he's reelected next year — will be in the middle of a second term in 2016.
"Hey listen, if he wants to run midterm, let him," Reid told POLITICO. "I would remind him and everybody else that doesn't work very well. Anytime anyone who is a governor leaves midterm, it just doesn't work very well."
Reid is becoming even more polarizing thanks to his pugnacious stand during the shutdown fight. His strategy is keeping Democrats together, which is no easy task. But removing him from his spot as the powerful majority leader has become a leading Republican campaign pitch in the run-up to the 2014 midterms, two years before he'll be the top GOP target in the country during his own race.
Whether Reid is simply talking tough to avoid being viewed as a lame duck remains to be seen. He could ultimately change his mind and decide not to run for a sixth term. Or his calculus could change if Republicans regain control of the Senate in 2014 and he loses the majority leader title, which he's held for more than six years.
But Reid is bullish about Democrats' prospects in 2014 — even believing the party may pick up seats next year — and he thinks the Republicans' handling of the government shutdown has only made the GOP weaker.
"This is killing the Republicans," Reid said.
Asked if he was bluffing about running in 2016, Reid said: "I guarantee you that I haven't spent all that money [just] to show strength during the shutdown. To have a campaign operation that I have is not easy."
( PHOTOS: Republicans, 2016 contenders)
Thanks to August fundraising swings in Nevada's Lake Tahoe and Las Vegas as well as Southern California, Reid's campaign and political action committee account in the third quarter raked in more than $600,000, more than the $407,000 it pulled in a similar period when he was last up for reelection in 2010. And at a similar point in the last cycle, when Reid had pulled in $5.6 million, he's raised $5.5 million.
"I've never ramped down," Reid said.
It may be hard to believe that Reid will be an even bigger GOP target than he was in 2010, when he pulled off an improbable victory despite suffering rock-bottom approval ratings and a national Republican effort to oust him. But he almost certainly will. Reid has outraged Republicans for his constant derision of the party, using words like "extreme" and "anarchists" to describe conservative Republicans in the House and Senate. He said House Republicans had "lost their minds." And he's repeatedly said Republicans need to "get a life" for their relentless drive to gut Obamacare.
( Also on POLITICO: Shutdown heads into second week)
His tactics during the shutdown fight have gone even further to make him the scourge of the GOP. Reid has publicly disclosed private conversations he had with House Speaker John Boehner to make the case that the Ohio Republican had backed off an earlier agreement to pass a government funding bill with no policy restrictions attached. After Boehner publicly demanded killing federal dollars for health coverage of lawmakers and their staff, a series of private emails between top Reid and Boehner aides were leaked to POLITICO that detailed Boehner's secret angling for those very same subsidies.
Not only has Reid ridiculed the GOP strategy to tie Obamacare to the shutdown fight, but he has also refused to schedule votes on House GOP bills to fund popular agencies and programs one at a time. And despite Boehner's demands, Reid refuses to negotiate with Republicans until they agree to pass a Senate bill to keep the government open until mid-November.
All of which make Republicans want to tear their hair out.
Rep. Tom Rooney (R-Fla.) said Reid is the "most uncompromising politician I've encountered in the past five years. He's the guy more than anybody that thwarts progress."
Asked about some of his rhetoric, Reid seemed to acknowledge his reputation for gaffes but was unapologetic about his tough talk.

Monroe Police initiate program to assist those addicted to opiods
Emphasis is on treatment, not crime
MONROE — The Monroe Police Department has started a new program called the Monroe Police "L.E.A.D.S." Program.
"L.E.A.D.S." is an acronym for Law Enforcement Assisted Drug Abuse Support.
Monroe Police Chief David Conklin said the program "is designed to encourage residents of the community who want to overcome their drug addiction to walk into the police station, turn over their drugs and paraphernalia and ask for help. They will not be arrested but instead, will be assisted in obtaining treatment, detox, rehab and recovery."
The department has partnered with the Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Council of Orange County, which provided training in how to help someone who is addicted. Conklin said the department also has contacted several organizations who provide detox, rehab and/or treatment.
"The officers of the Monroe Police Department see first-hand the impact of addiction," the chief said. "Those suffering from addiction feel hopeless and powerless to escape its grasp. We have seen the pain and suffering, lives ruined or ended too soon and we have seen families torn apart over it.
"Our goal is to reduce the impact of substance abuse by encouraging those who suffer from addiction to seek treatment and recovery to promote a healthier and safer community," Conklin added. "Drug addiction is a disease, and those suffering need help. We at the Monroe Police Department believe that there is hope for recovery from addiction and we are here to help, not judge. The stigma associated with substance abuse and opiate addiction is over."
The police chief said that "L.E.A.D.S." "in no way diminishes the Police Department's role in pursuing the arrest and conviction of those who sell and/or possess narcotics. Monroe Police, using their own resources and those made available by other agencies will continue our mission to get the drugs off our streets. In addition, we screen everyone we arrest for alcohol or drug related crimes and will provide them with the resources they need to seek assistance with their addiction."

Former "Cheers" co-stars Rhea Perlman and Kirstie Alley have teamed up again for a dream TV pilot.
The longtime pals pledged to reunite for another sitcom when "Cheers" went off the air in 1993 and it has taken them 20 years to see their plan through.
Alley and Pearlman will play best friends in new show "Giant Baby" and the two stars insist working together again is "the best."
Alley says, "We were planning this when we were doing 'Cheers.' We said, 'When 'Cheers' isn't on the air we'll do a show together.'"

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 16 (UPI) -- A 5-year-old girl kidnapped from her Philadelphia school appears to have been targeted, investigators said.
Capt. John Darby of the Philadelphia Police Special Victims Unit said Nailla Robinson, who was found early Tuesday in an Upper Darby playground, showed no signs of being sexually molested, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported. He said the woman who removed her from a Philadelphia school Monday knew which classroom to go to and just walked in and went straight to Nailla.
Nelson Mandela Myers of Upper Darby was on his way to his job as a sanitation worker in Norristown just after 4:30 a.m. when he heard Nailla's cries for help. The girl was wearing only a soaked T-shirt, and Myers wrapped her in his coat before calling 911.
"She was just shivering and saying she was cold," Myers said.
Mayor Michael Nutter said Myers will receive the $10,000 reward offered for information on the case because he "did the right thing."
Nailla told police the woman took her to a house where a man was present, her family said.
Her grandfather, Asim Abdur-Rashid, said the family was thankful for her rescue.
"She's a strong little girl," he said. "She's holding up like a soldier."
School officials are investigating whether a substitute teacher allowed the kidnapper to leave with Nailla without showing identification.

Drought was declared in New Zealand's Northland province this week, and Waikato, the country's biggest milk-producing region, is being closely watched.
Feb. 27 (Bloomberg) -- Fonterra Cooperative Group Ltd., the world's biggest dairy exporter, maintained its forecast payment to farmers as New Zealand expects drought to spread across the North Island, threatening to curb milk supply.
Fonterra expects to pay its 10,500 farmer shareholders NZ$5.50 ($4.54) per kilogram of milk solids in the 2012-13 season, unchanged from a December forecast, the Auckland-based company said in a statement. The company, which must review the outlook every quarter, also maintained its earnings-per-share forecast at 40 New Zealand cents to 50 New Zealand cents.
Drought was declared in Northland province today and Waikato, the country's biggest milk-producing region, is being closely watched, Minister for Primary Industries Nathan Guy said in a statement. Declarations in other regions are likely soon, he said. Whole-milk powder prices are still 43 percent higher than mid-July after the worst U.S. drought since the 1930s boosted feed costs, prompting farmers to cull herds.
"We had a strong start to the season and milk collection volumes were running 6 percent ahead of last season on a year- to-date basis," Fonterra Chief Executive Officer Theo Spierings said in the statement. "The dry conditions mean we are currently forecasting total milk collection volumes to finish approximately 1 percent ahead for the full season."
The forecast payout could be adversely impacted by a "further significant strengthening" of the New Zealand dollar, Fonterra said today. The local currency has risen 2.1 percent against the U.S. dollar in the last six months.
Fonterra also today announced a bonus share issue for farmer shareholders and unit holders of 1 additional unit for every 40 held on April 12, in a separate statement.

Air NZ's top 10 picks for Invercargill
Regional specialties set Invercargill apart.
1 / 5
Home to New Zealand's oldest inhabitant, a speedster who inspired a hit movie, the only discernible regional accent in the country and some of the most delicious seafood available- Invercargill is a small place with a lot that sets it apart.
Located at the end of the South Island, it is New Zealand's southernmost city and with just over 50,000 residents also one of the smallest.
The locals speak with a discernible 'brr' (believed to be a hangover from the early Scottish settler) and are known for their Southland pride and ability to get things done.
One of their most famous sons of innovation is Burt Munro, immortalised in the movie "The World's Fastest Indian".
The movie tracks Burt's journey from tinkering with an Indian Scout motorcycle in his shed to setting world land speed records at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah - a feat he achieved as a 63 year-old grandfather.
Burt's 1967 speed of 183.56 mph still stands today as the world speed record for under 1000 cc motorbikes with a streamliner.
To get a taste and feel for Invercargill and Southland we recommend:
Southland Museum and Art Gallery – see New Zealand's oldest resident, Henry, the over 100 year old tuatara, whose ancestors have been around since dinosaur times
Queens Park – 80 hectares of parklands and gardens
Fishing – the Mataura River is a magnet for international anglers with nearby Gore sporting the title of 'the brown trout capital of the world'
Seafood – you really haven't tried seafood until you have tasted oysters, blue cod and crayfish from this part of the world. Bluff oyster season creates a flurry up and down the country with enormous sums being paid for that first taste while the Bluff Oyster Festival (usually held in May) is an experience not to be missed
Stewart Island – Invercargill is the main departure point for Stewart Island, home to 400 residents and 20,000 kiwis (the birds) With 240 kilometres of treks it is a walker's paradise. There is some very fine fishing, beautiful flora and fauna and a great local welcome as well.
Ulva Island – just off Stewart Island this predator-free open island bird sanctuary provides a safe haven for many rare breeds
Prize-winning beer – drop into the Invercargill Brewery for a taste of father and son team, Gerry and Steve Nally's prize winning brews. The pair's latest seasonal beer, Salson, won silver at the 2011 Australian International Beer Awards.
Air New Zealand flies between Invercargill and Christchurch and Wellington connecting it with 24 other destinations on the domestic network. For information and to book flights to Invercargill visit www.airnewzealand.com

UC Santa Barbara Gauchos vs. Cal State Fullerton
at UCSB's Harder Stadium
Match No. 11
Sunday, October 14, 2001 at 4:00 p.m.
UC Santa Barbara Gauchos vs. UC Irvine Anteaters
at UCSB's Harder Stadium
Injured Gauchos Open Big West Play At Home
The UC Santa Barbara men's soccer team enters Big West play with a 4-3-2 record, and numerous players sidelined with injuries. When the ball starts rolling against Cal State Fullerton on Friday, the Gauchos will be without starting midfielder Steven Sosa, starting defenders Galen Donaldson and Kevin Maffris, forwarsd Gene Deering and Brian Reardon, reserve midfielder Sean Edwards, and possibly without starting midfielder Drew McAthy. Since opening the year with a 3-0 record, injuries have caught up with the Gauchos to a certain degree, and they are 1-3-2 since.
Tale of the Titans
UCSB will open up its Big West Conference schedule this weekend when they host 19th-ranked Cal State Fullerton. The Titans, who were selected to win the Big West Conference in the preseason poll, hold an all-time 10-20-2 advantage over the Gauchos. Last season, UCSB fell to the Titans 1-0 in an overtime match at Harder Stadium. This season, Cal State Fullerton enters the contest with a 3-4-1 record after suffering a pair of losses in the Rutgers Tournament. The Titans fell to third-ranked St. John's 2-1 before losing on Sunday, 3-0 to ninth-ranked Rutgers. Cal State Fullerton boasts a balanced offensive attack with Hector Orellana, Brent Whitfield, and Cameron McKinnon leading the team with two goals apiece. Sean Giudice also adds to the Titan attack with one goal and two assists. In the net, Jeff McKeever averages 5.17 saves per match and allows 1.54 goals per contest.
Anteater Attack
After opening their Big West schedule at Cal Poly on Friday night, UC Irvine will head to Harder Stadium to face UCSB. The Gauchos hold a 20-8-1 advantage over the Anteaters despite last season's 1-0 loss at home. UC Irvine is 4-3-1 entering the week, after last weekend's 2-2 double overtime tie with Denver and Sunday's 3-2 victory over Sacramento State. The Anteaters are led by Saul Wolf who has scored three goals and notched one assist in the first eight matches of the season. Offensively sound, UC Irvine leads the Big West averaging 16.50 shots per match. Another of the Anteater's strengths is in their goalkeeper CJ Cooper. Cooper averages 2.75 saves per match, while only allowing .80 goals per contest. Cooper trails closely behind UCSB's Dan Kennedy, whose .78 goals allowed leads the Big West.
Gauchos Drop 1-0 Decision To Denver
Despite outshooting Denver 11-4 and only allowing two shots per half, UCSB came up short in a 1-0 loss on Sunday. The Gauchos kept the Pioneers on the defensive for most of the contest and tallied seven shots in the first half. Yet, Denver remained focused and scored in the 84th minute to take the victory. Forward Rob Friend led the team with six shots, while Matt Bly added two of his own.
Gauchos Second Straight Double OT Tie, 1-1 With Fresno State
For the second straight match, UCSB took their opponent into double overtime on Friday night, ending in a 1-1 tie with Fresno State. Junior forward Rob Friend struck early, scoring his team-leading third goal of the season in the third minute off a pass from Gene Deering. However, the Bulldogs evened the score in the 38th minute on a goal from Curt Posey. UCSB was able to keep Fresno State out of the net for 82 minutes, due to the play of goalkeeper Dan Kennedy, who notched four saves, and the work of defenders Neil Jones, Tony Lochhead, Alex Tablin-Wolf and Pete O'Hare.
UCSB In The Big West
As a team, UCSB has made its mark among Big West teams this season. The Gauchos are tops in the conference in goals allowed, with .69 per match and in shutouts with four this season. UCSB averages 15 shots and 4.29 points per contest, placing second in the Big West standings. UCSB also ranks second in assists with 1.43 per match, right behind Cal State Northridge with 1.57 per match. The Gauchos also have the lowest foul count in the conference with 73 in seven matches.
