When Keith Andrews of Quincy decided he wanted to get into better shape, he determined that the icing on his physical condition "cupcake" would be helping others.
Several years ago, Andrews' wife rode in a bike ride for the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society, and he decided he'd go the same route. Last year, he biked the same ride, a 100-mile ride around Lake Tahoe, and raised $5,400. His wife raised $3,500 the year she rode.
Big Bend Hospice and the Quincy Music Theatre are teaming up April 23 to honor the life of Quincy physician Dr. Jessie Furlow for a reception, silent auction, live auction and preview of the local production of "The Sound of Music."

The first time Judy Poppell Cook of Havana walked in an American Cancer Society Relay for Life, she was walking for a dear friend who she'd recently lost to breast cancer. She'd been with her friend, Pati Payne, throughout most of her illness, almost up until the end. And when Cook hit the track that first time in a Relay, she had no idea that in just a couple of months, she would be diagnosed with breast cancer herself.

Baker's cyst is a buildup of joint fluid (synovial fluid) that forms a cyst behind the knee.
Popliteal cyst; Bulge-knee
A Baker's cyst is caused by swelling in the knee. The swelling is due to an increase in the fluid that lubricates the knee joint (synovial fluid). When pressure builds up, fluid bulges into the back of the knee.
Baker's cyst commonly occurs with:
A large cyst may cause some discomfort or stiffness, but there are often no symptoms. There may be a painless or painful swelling behind the knee.
The cyst may feel like a water-filled balloon. Sometimes, the cyst may break open (rupture), causing pain, swelling, and bruising on the back of the knee and calf.
It is important to know whether pain or swelling is caused by a Baker's cyst or a blood clot. A blood clot (deep venous thrombosis) can also cause pain, swelling, and bruising on the back of the knee and calf. A blood clot may be dangerous and requires immediate medical attention.
During a physical exam, the health care provider will look for a soft lump in the back of the knee.
Shining a light through the cyst (transillumination) can show that the growth is fluid filled.
If the lump grows quickly, or you have night pain, severe pain, or fever, you will need more tests to make sure you do not have other types of tumors.
X-rays will not show the cyst or a meniscal tear, but they will show other problems that may be present, including arthritis.
MRIs can help the health care provider see the cyst and look for any meniscal injury.
Often no treatment is needed. The health care provider can watch the cyst over time.
If the cyst is painful, the goal of treatment is to correct the problem that is causing the cyst, such as arthritis or a meniscus tear.
Sometimes, a cyst can be drained (aspirated) or, in rare cases, removed with surgery if it becomes very large or causes symptoms.
A Baker's cyst will not cause any long-term harm, but it can be annoying and painful. The symptoms of Baker's cysts usually come and go.
Long-term disability is rare. Most people improve with time or arthroscopic surgery.
Call your health care provider if you have swelling behind the knee that becomes large or painful. Pain could be a sign of infection.

- —Harry looking to talk to Dean alone after Transfiguration class.[src]
The Bird-Conjuring Charm[1] (Avis) is a spell that conjures a flock of birds. The birds are shot from the caster's wand tip, accompanied by a loud blast that sounds like a gun being fired and smoke.

- —On the side-effects of the spell.[src]
- This spell was used by Garrick Ollivander when testing the four Triwizard Tournament Champions' wands before their First Task of the Triwizard Tournament, in 1994. This is also possibly the spell that the Sixth year Charms students were learning to perform non-verbally in 1996.
- Hermione Granger conjured a flock of birds that same year, most likely using this spell, and made them attack Ron Weasley, after seeing him kiss Lavender Brown.

The big buzz in the social media world right now is Google+. But what is it and why should nonprofits care? Google+ is a new social media venture created by Google to, "bring the nuance and richness of real-life sharing to software" according to Vic Gundotra, Senior Vice President, Engineering at Google. It offers many of the same communication features social media users of Facebook and Twitter are familiar with such as messaging, pictures, and games, along with some valuable extras.
The big difference between Google+ and other established social media sites is Google+ organizes contacts into different "circles" or groups. This allows the user to communicate specifically with targeted groups. For example, a user can send out a targeted post to their planned giving circle, and a different post to their professional circle. Other features include Instant Upload, Hangouts, Sparks, and Huddle.
To learn more about Google+, visit:
Keep in mind that Google+ has not been rolled out to the general public, it is by invitation only.
What is your opinion of Google+? Are you one of the lucky few to receive the Google+ golden ticket? Please share your comments by posting to this blog.

Putnam prosecutor says drug court might be last chance for offenders
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The creation of an adult drug court in Putnam County might be the last opportunity officials have to save drug offenders from prison time, the county's prosecutor said last week.
Newly elected Putnam Circuit Judge Joseph Reeder, who took office in December, said he's beginning to organize the adult drug court, which he said he wanted to create during his election campaign.
"We are in the early stages," Reeder said of the court, scheduled to start in June. "We have been in contact with officials in other counties and we intend to observe what they are doing in those counties to see if what they are doing may be applicable to Putnam County."
Putnam Prosecuting Attorney Mark Sorsaia said the adult drug court is an obvious step for the county, which is dealing with a rising jail bill from prescription drug and heroin abuse, among other things.
"I think it's a good idea and the next step for us to take here. We've done most other things -- the juvenile drug court, community corrections and day report," Sorsaia said. "Anything we can do to try to deal with the drug problem is a good thing."
Sorsaia told county commissioners last month that in the past two years, felony cases have gone up by 20 percent mainly because of drugs. Commissioners have been trying to come up with ways to deal with the regional jail bill, which has gone up about $300,000 in two years.
However, Sorsaia said he doesn't see the jail bill going down anytime soon, especially if the state doesn't create a drug treatment center.
"I don't know what else we can do. [The adult drug court] is the last thing we haven't tried.... It'll help, anything is needed, but I think we've maxed out our diversion capabilities," he said.
One problem that judges and prosecutors often face is a decision about whether to put a repeat drug offender behind bars, according to Sorsaia. And it's not a matter of whether they're a non-violent offender anymore.
"They're killing themselves," he said. "I've had parents tell me, 'I would rather visit my child in prison than visit them in the cemetery,'" Sorsaia said. "I've had parents call and ask me, 'Will you please lock my child up because I'm afraid they're killing themselves.' We do it all the time."
The adult drug court might especially help younger adults who have a chance to get their lives back on track, according to Sorsaia.
"The people I worry about are those between 18 and 30 that are struggling with addiction while just starting their lives out," he said. "If they can beat the addiction they can potentially have a future."
Drug courts act as a diversionary program for people who are addicted to drugs and have been charged with relatively minor crimes. In Kanawha County, which established its drug court in 2009, participants can take an extensive testing, counseling and community-service program run by the court system to help them control their substance-abuse problems in lieu of jail time. If they complete the program, prosecutors agree to dismiss their criminal charges.
Kanawha's program has graduated 38 participants. Only 13.8 percent of those were arrested again after completing the program. In all, Kanawha Circuit Judge Jennifer Bailey has told the Gazette that the county has saved $2.36 million on its regional jail bill because of the program.

My young fella is at a precarious stage of language development.
Many words and phrases come out in the Queen's English.
However, many utterances aren't so clear. Take "dump truck" for instance.
The kid pronounces that as "dumb" plus a word that begins with F and rhymes with "luck."
I giggled under my breath the first couple of times he said it.
But now, as he's more expressive about his enthusiasm for cars, pickups, trollies, wheel barrels and anything else with a wheel, the giggles have turned to jitters.
And I'm worrying what happens if we see a dump truck in public.
"Dumb #$%^!" he'll shout, jumping up and down. "Dumb #$%^!"
You can see how this might be a little awkward if we're in earshot of strangers.
Say, we're at a children's Christmas party, like the one we're supposed to go to this weekend.
An unsuspecting parent may get quite a start if the two-year-old with the long locks curses like a longshoreman after their child unwraps a dump truck.
"Cover your ears," they'd tell their kid, before turning to other parents and saying, "That boy with the Axel Rose hair needs his mouth washed out with soap, and better role models. Who's raising him?"
The other parents will try to point to me and my wife, but we will have left the party by now, after offering an excuse like, "We'd better get home in case the phone rings."
Or, what if at said Christmas party my boy spies a dump truck while sitting on Saint Nick's knee?
Son: "Dumb #$%^!"
Santa: "I beg your pardon."
Son: "Dumb #$%^!"
Santa: "This kid is on the naughty list for life. So is his dad, teaching a two-year-old to swear. Oh, I see his father is Steve Bartlett. This comes as no surprise, then. He's been cursing on me since he didn't get that Luke Skywalker action figure in 1979."
Or what if the kid and I are taking part in our Saturday morning ritual at McDonalds — black coffee for me, muffin for him — and a dump truck passes by the window.
The boy would roar "Dumb #$%^!" at least three times.
McPatron 1: "Why is that boy swearing?
McPatron 2. (shrugging shoulders): "I don't know. Perhaps they got his order wrong."
Or, it's a long shot, but what if we run into a politician near the cars and trucks at Toys R We?
Boy: "Dumb #$%^!"
Elected type: "Excuse me."
Me: "He's not repeating anything I've ever said about you."
Boy: "Daddy, dumb /$%^!"
Elected type: "I'll be calling your publisher on this. I always knew you had it in for (insert party name)."
So, you can see why I'm a little concerned about my little cherub's pronunciations of dump truck.
Of course, none of this might ever happen. But I'm trying to come up with a witty comeback just in case. Would hate to look like a dump truck.
In Grade 7, a girl broke up with Steve because he didn't swear. Use nice words when emailing him at firstname.lastname@example.com or flipping him a Tweet at bartlett_steve.

|This article or section contains information that is out-of-date.
The early sections of this guide only cover the Human regions. If you are a Human, and are unsure how to start, you should read this guide: Powerlevel Northshire Valley. If you are a different race, the early sections of this guide may not help you much unless you travel to Elwynn Forest or surrounding areas at the appropriate level.
Levels 5–10: Elwynn Forest
The first thing you should consider, is heading for Goldshire. Which is, yes, exactly what you are going to do! Now here's the array of steps:
Getting the Quests:
1. Accept the Quest "The Fargodeep Mine" from Marshal Dughan.
2. Go into the inn and accept the "Kobold Candles" quest from William Pestle (remember to set your hearthstone to Goldshire).
3. Go outside and get the quest "Gold Dust Exchange" from Remy "Two Times".
4. Go a bit south of Goldshire and kill boars till you have 4 Chunks of Boar meat.
5. Go southwest until you reach the Stonefield Farm.
6. Get "The Lost Necklace" from "Auntie" Bernice Stonefield.
7. DON'T take the "Princess Must Die!" quest from Ma Stonefield!
Doing the Quests:
8. Go to Billy Maclure, he is at the Barn at the Maclure Vineyards. He continues the "The Lost Necklace" quest. He asks you to bring 4 chunks of boar meat to "Auntie" Bernice Stonefield. But first there is one more thing to do.
9. Go to the small house in the southeast end of the Maclure Vineyards and get the quest "Young Lovers" from Maybell Maclure.
10. Go to the Stonefield farm again. First, speak with Tommy Joe Stonefield to continue the quest "Young Lovers".
11. Speak with "Auntie" Bernice Stonefield to continue "The Lost Necklace" quest line.
12. Then speak with Gramma Stonefield inside the little house behind to continue "Young Lovers."
13. Give Billy Maclure the Boar meat pie to get the "Goldtooth" quest.
14. Go to the Fargodeep mine, enter the opening at the far left end, remember to kill every kobold in your way since they give large Candles and Gold dust for your quests.
15. Continue into the mine until you see the Kobold named Goldtooth. Kill him and take Bernice's Necklace.
16. Go out of the mine again.
17. Now enter the mine at the far right entrance.
18. Continue fighting your way in until you get the message that "The Fargodeep Mine" is completed, now go outside again.
19. If you still need any Gold dust or Large Candles, kill Kobolds till you have them all.
Completing the First Array:
20. Go to "Auntie" Bernice Stonefield with the necklace to complete the quest chain.
21. Now go back to Goldshire and turn "The Fargodeep Mine" (Do NOT take the follow-up!) and "Gold Dust Exchange" in.
22. Sell any unnecessary items and get your stuff repaired by the smithy.
23. Go into the inn to turn in the "Kobold Candles" and "Note to William" quests to William Pestle.
24. Take the "Shipment to Stormwind" quest but don't take the "Collecting Kelp" quest.
The Second Part:
25. Take the "A Fishy Peril" quest from Remy "Two Times" and turn it in to Marshal Dughan; take the follow up.
26. Now go east until you get to a bridge where Guard Thomas is.
27. Accept "The Lost Guards" and "Protect the Frontier".
28. Go north on the left side of the river, killing any mobs in your path.
29. Go a little left and investigate the half-eaten remains.
30. Go back to the bridge, go left and up to the Eastvale Logging Camp.
31. Turn around and take the "Red Linen Goods" quest from Sara Timberlain.
32. Go a bit north and get the "A Bundle Of Trouble" quest from Supervisor Raelen.
33. Go east towards the Center-Upper part of the Murloc camp. Kill any mobs in your path, and also, if you see any, take any bundles of wood.
34. Look for the remains of Rolf for "The Lost Guards" quest. When you see them just right-click on them.
35. Now kill the rest of the Young Forest Bears and Prowlers you need to complete "Protect The Frontier" and find the rest of the bundles of wood you need.
36. Turn in "A Bundle Of Trouble" to Supervisor Raelen.
37. Go to the bridge and turn in "The Lost Guards" and "Protect The Frontier" to Guard Thomas.
38. Get the "Bounty On Murlocs" and "Deliver Thomas' Report" quests.
39. Now head south the river to kill Murlocs for "Bounty On Murlocs". When you are done, head a little east to the Brackwell Pumpkin Patch and kill Defias Bandits until you have the needed amount of Red Linen Bandanas.
40. Go to Guard Thomas and turn in "Bounty On Murlocs".
41. Use your HS to go back to Goldshire to turn in "Deliver Thomas' Report" to Marshal Dughan. Be sure to get "Cloth and Leather Armor".
42. Now take the long trip back to Eastvale Logging Camp to turn in "Cloth And Leather Armor" and "Red Linen Goods" to Sara Timberlain.
Finishing off:
43. Follow the road to the far west, all the way to forest's end (it's a sub zone).
44. Here are some Gnoll-related quests, don't take them if you are already level 10. If not...well, you were going to grind here anyway, so take them.
45. If you have time, find a group for doing "Wanted: Hogger" Quest. He's a level 11 Elite in the middle of the Gnoll area so it is advisable to bring a tank, a DPS and a healer, at least.
46. If you are level 10 and a class that has a class quest at level 10 you should do your class quest.
Levels 10–14: Westfall
This area is a common place to level since it has a good number of quests to do which are usually the preferred method of leveling.
Note: If you have not yet gotten the flight path in Redridge Mountains (Lakeshire), do it now!
Assuming you have done that and are now coming from Elwynn Forest, pick up the couple of quests from the farmer and his wife just on the other side of the bridge, then follow the road down to the farm house and pick up the couple of quests there. Keep going south until you get to Sentinel Hill. There are two major sets of quests as well as a few others. The most important one is probably "The Defias Traitor" quest chain, as it is the one that will take you into the Deadmines to kill Van Cleef (which inspires another quest chain as well). The area is not too big so getting all those quests and then running them will get you a ton of XP (both from mobs and quest turn in).
Bloodmyst Isle, if you wish to travel there, is also very rich in quests and can easily take you up to 19 or 20 if you do everything there.
Levels 14–17: Redridge Mountains
This section has yet to be written.
Levels 17–22: The Return to Westfall
This section has yet to be fully written.
At this stage you should finish the Van Cleef quest chain and run the Deadmines dungeon at least once. You can do this at an earlier level, but if you plan to do it without help from a higher leveled character, this is the best level range to do it.
Levels 22–30: Duskwood
Duskwood is a constant run back and forth between Darkshire and Sven's Camp to the west.
Make sure to start off in the northwest corner at Sven's camp. After grabbing all the quests there, make the long trip down the road to Darkshire, picking up all the quests you can.
Doing the quests in Duskwood can be challenging and can become very drawn out; So it's a good idea to bring a higher level friend, somewhere between the levels of 30 and 40 to help you out. Also, don't forget about the instances: They are a great way to get XP and to take a break from the Duskwood quests.
Levels 30 to 33: Hillsbrad Foothills and Arathi Highlands
This zone has level 30-40 quests for alliance and level 20-40 for horde, which means that this place should have has less gankers on average than Stranglethorn Vale.
Do the quests surrounding Southshore, the Twilight Hammer related quests up to the Quest:Hints of a New Plague? chain and Quest:Worth Its Weight in Gold. Killing the courier requires you to kill 5 level 36 mobs, so try to find a group for that encounter.
Levels 33–34: Desolace
Once you get to Desolace, walk to the northern part of Nijel's Point. Once there, get the "Centaur's Ear" quest. Also, you can only effectively pick one quest out of "Strange Alliance" or "Brutal Politics". Whichever one you pick, it will involve going to a centaur camp in either the southeast or southwest and killing enough of them to get to Friendly with the other tribe. Note that by the time you befriend one tribe, you will definitely be Hostile with the other one. Once you've befriended a tribe, repeatedly take the quests from the tribe leader. Don't waste too much time here - the rep gained with either centaur tribe isn't worth the rewards.
Levels 34–39: Dustwallow Marsh
Dustwallow marsh has an enormous amount of quests available (compared to zones of similar level bracket). Go to Theramore and start with the quests there. Go along the path starting from Theramore and take the quests along the way, up to Tabetha's farm. Take the quests there, too. Finally, reach Mudsprocket and complete the quests there, as well. Mudsprocket has a flight point, which you could use for quick transport between there and Theramore.
Levels 39–42: Badlands
One of the three reasons this area is mentioned is because of the Elementals. They give great XP and are an awesome source of gold if you choose to use the auction house to sell the Stones and Elemental Earth. One of the camps is quite close to the Horde town, so Alliance must always be watchful.
The second great source of XP and gold are the whelps located on the eastern side of the map. They have low health, have great vendor trash and generally are fun to grind on. If you choose to kill these, watch out for the middle section of the ravine, as it is infested with Elite Dragonkin.
Last, but not least, are the ogres. As you might expect they drop cloth, good amounts of silver, the occasional green, and, if you're lucky, an epic BoE. I have had the luck to have not one, but THREE epics drop from these guys.
Levels 40–50: Tanaris
An alternative to doing Badlands until 42 is to relocate to Tanaris. If you planned to grind, now is the time to do it. There are a plethora of kill quests here to nicely interlock with your grinding.
Once you hit 43–44, you can start running Zul'Farrak. I highly suggest running it as much as you can until you hit 48.
Lost Rigger Cove
In Gadgetzan pick up the quest
Travel to Steamwheedle Port and pick up these quests
Travel south to the Lost Rigger Cove and begin to kill pirates. If you are lucky you will loot Ship Schedule which starts:
When all the quests are done, run back to Steamwheedle Port and turn them in. I soloed the quests as a level 45 Shadow Priest. All of them were easy except Quest:WANTED: Andre Firebeard (which includes a pull of three mobs), which was hard but doable.
Levels 45–50 Feralas
First run
Travel to Feathermoon Stronghold and get the quest
Travel south and find the Ruins of Solarsal. There is a dark building, which is the goal of the quest. Turn in and get the follow-up
Travel back to Feathermoon Stronghold, turn in and get the quest
Speak with Latronicus Moonspear and get the follow-up
Go south and kill some Nagas until you have got the required 10 Hatecrest Naga Scale. Return to the stronghold and get (bring a friend for this one)
Travel south to the island below the island with Feathermoon Stronghold, and fight you way into the cave on the northern coast. You will find Lord Shalzaru deep inside the cave. Kill and loot him and return to Feathermoon Stronghold. Get the followup
and turn it in.
Second run
In Feathermoon Stronghold get the quest
and speak with the right people to continue in the quest line; that includes
Travel with the ship from Feathermoon Stronghold to the Forgotten Coast and speak with Zorbin Fandazzle From him get the quests
Travel south along the coast and kill all the Sea Sprays, Sea Elementals and the giants you see. At some point you will find a Wrecked Row Boat, at which you can turn in Quest:The Missing Courier (2) and get the followup Quest:The Knife Revealed. At this point you should have collected about half of the required Water Elemental Cores and Miniaturization Residue, so turn around and go back to Zorbin Fandazzle while you farm the remaining items. Turn in
and travel to Feathermoon Stronghold. In Feathermoon Stronghold turn in Quest:The Knife Revealed and the followup Quest:Psychometric Reading. Travel to the Lower Wilds and find the Large Leather Backpacks, where Quest:The Woodpaw Gnolls can be turned in. Continue the quest line by freeing Rascal from the Zukk'ash Pod and returning to Feathermoon Stronghold.
Levels 42–47: Booty Bay and Southern Stranglethorn
This section has yet to be fully written.
Wild Shore
Pick up these quests in Booty Bay:
- Quest:Keep An Eye Out
- Quest:Up to Snuff
- Quest:The Bloodsail Buccaneers (4) (is part of a quest line)
Go to the Wild Shore and kill some Bloodsail Buccaneers.
Levels 47–53: Searing Gorge
This section has yet to be written.
Levels 53–57: Felwood, Un'goro and Blasted Lands
This section has yet to be fully written.
At level 55, it's highly recommended you go to HFP, and find a high level friend to kill mobs for you. At 1200 XP/kill, the leveling rate from 55–58 is exceptionally fast. All HFP quests are 58+. You can also enter HFC at level 55, and start on your collection of Outlands gear.
Levels 57–58½: Silithus
This section has yet to be written.
Levels 58–63: Hellfire Peninsula
This section has yet to be written.
Levels 61–64: Zangarmarsh
This is one of the two possible areas you can venture to after leaving HFP, the other being Terokkar. It is highly recommended to finish every single quest in this area if you can, as they give Cenarion Expedition rep, which is a big factor when buying endgame flasks.
Zangarmarsh has an abundance of quests, ranging from simple kill and loot quests to more intricate ones in which you are asked to locate missing friends or family members.
This area, paired with Terokkar, should last you till the mid 60s if you instance and such. Now, off to Nagrand!
Levels 63–65: Terokkar Forest
I actually came to Terokkar at 62 and had no problems landing spells as a Mage in the beginning areas.
First and foremost, you're going to want to go explore the neutral city in the north-western part of the map named Shattrath, which is the main city in Outland. Inside its majestic walls are portals to the Horde and Alliance cities based back in Azeroth.
The easiest way to level up to 65 and beyond is to do quest after quest after quest. You will begin questing in the northern and eastern parts of the map. Once you've progressed in the quest lines and gained a level or two, the quests get harder and move to the southern areas of the map. This is also where the instances "Mana Tombs" and "The Crypts" are located, as well as "The Shadow Labyrinth" and "Sethekk Halls." You don't need to worry about the instances at this level (Sethekk can be done starting at around level 67 if you have a competent group). If you have an ample amount of rested experience, it is suggested to grind in an instance until you return back to normal experience. If not, then continue questing.
There is also a Horde and Alliance encampment and a neutral caravan sporting quests just waiting to be completed.
This is very brief and has a lot of gray areas, but for the most part, the easiest way to level in any zone is by questing.
Levels 65–68: Nagrand
Two words can accurately describe this wonderful area: GOLD MINE. It's just so full of quests! Not in the mood for questing? Killing ogres yielding Mag'thar or Kurenai reputation. Clefthoofs drop great food and can be skinned for leather. Not in the mood for leveling at all and don't feel like doing battlegrounds? Look no further, as there is a world PvP objective in the middle in the map known as Haala.
Coming back to the leveling aspect. This zone can usually last players into 67 or even 68 if they cleaned out all of Zangarmarsh and Terokkar. The abundance of quests in this area is simply mind boggling, and most yield pretty good rewards in the form of blue items. Most of the quests are chains, so you may think you're done, but then you get pleasantly surprised when you get the last part with a pretty blue item as the reward.
Once you completely finish Nagrand, it's off to Blade's Edge.
Levels 66–68: Blade's Edge Mountains
This section has yet to be written.
Levels 68–70: Netherstorm
Most players will leave this area until they have reached level 70, as the quests will give gold instead of XP. At 70, doing all the quests in Netherstorm should get you close to, if not over, 2000 gold, some decent blue rewards, a ton of Sha'tar rep (which is needed for the purchase of flasks later on in endgame raiding) and, of course, Consortium rep.
This area also contains 3 five-man instances: "The Arcatraz," "The Mechanar," and "The Botanica," which are only accessible through flying mounts or flying form for druids. There is also a 25-man raid instance named "The Eye," which only seasoned raiders with much experience together should attempt.
So, there is not much at the moment, and this "collection" will be mainly for printing purposes.
(Corrections may be made in either the level information or the zone order)

|Son Gokū (Forms)
Rōshi (老紫, Rōshi) was the jinchūriki of Son Gokū, the Four-Tails, that hailed from Iwagakure. The Four-Tails has been captured and sealed by Akatsuki, causing his death when the beast was extracted. However, upon his reincarnation, the Four-Tails was resealed within Rōshi.[4]
Rōshi became the jinchūriki of the Four-Tails over forty years before the Fourth Shinobi World War at a very young age.[5] He left his home town of Iwagakure at some point to better understand and control the power of the beast within him.[6]
Son Gokū mentioned that Rōshi was just as hard-headed as Ōnoki, the Third Tsuchikage, suggesting the two had been acquainted. Despite this, upon observing Naruto Uzumaki's battle against Tobi and his Six Paths of Pain, as well as his knowledge of the tailed beasts final meeting with the Sage of the Six Paths, he came to regrettably believe that all the jinchūriki could have walked down the right path if they were more like the young man. Also despite being Son's jinchūriki for over forty years,[7] he never referred to the beast by its true name, stating that he had not become soft-hearted enough to do such a thing. Before Son was resealed into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, he revealed to the beast that he never forgot its name, making peace with the giant monkey.
Rōshi had red hair, moustache and beard which tapered off to a point. He was shown wearing a large headpiece consisting of a three pointed crown-like ridge, bearing both his Iwagakure forehead protector, a ring, and a prominent black piece of armour running across his cheeks and the bridge of his nose. He wore a long-sleeved light-red shirt and pants, with mesh-armour shirt and fitted black suit underneath, along with calf-length sandals. Around his waist he wore a brown sash-like high-waist piece with a pouch in the front and armoured lapels falling to the sides. Interestingly, his headpiece, hair and beard seemed to model his tailed beast's.
He has been noted to be a very powerful shinobi. Kisame, a powerful Akatsuki member himself, stated that he was not one to play around with as he was a tough one to capture.[8] He was also seen using a curved kunai with which it can be assumed that he had proficiency wielding.[9]
After his reincarnation and serving as one of Tobi's Six Paths of Pain, Rōshi is seen with both the Sharingan and Rinnegan. Combining the perceptual and predictive abilities of the former with the shared field of vision ability of the latter, allowed Rōshi to use his attacks in a more precise and coordinated fashion as well as react to enemy attacks more efficiently, both individually and in conjunction and with the other jinchūriki.
Nature Transformation
By borrowing the Four-Tails' power, Rōshi was able to use its Lava Release ninjutsu, a combination of fire and earth-based chakra, to create a torrent of lava that can melt almost anything. In the anime, Tobi referred to him as "Rōshi of the Lava Release" (熔遁の老紫, Yōton no Rōshi),[3] further indicating his prowess with it. He could create a giant geyser of lava as seen in the anime or spit multiple balls of lava at the enemy. He could also create an armour made of lava that not only has defensive purposes but adds lava to his taijutsu attacks increasing their potential damage.
Jinchūriki Transformations
Main article: Rōshi's Jinchūriki Forms
As the Four-Tails' jinchūriki, Rōshi is granted a significant amount of chakra and stamina from the beast. The full extent of his control is unknown, but he could form at least one of the beast's tails upon his reincarnation, further enhancing his power and strength. After being immobilised by B's clone, he transforms into his Version 2 form, in this form he was able to create an enormous torrent of lava, scorching the Eight-Tails. When Rōshi attacked Naruto and Killer B, Tobi forced him to transform into his full Four-Tails form. In this form, he displayed tremendous strength, being able to toss Killer B in his full Eight-Tails form a considerable distance away.
Part II
Itachi Pursuit Arc
After an unseen and difficult battle with Kisame Hoshigaki of Akatsuki, Rōshi was somehow defeated and captured by Kisame. He later died as the result of having the Four-Tails extracted from his body.
Shinobi World War Arc
In preparation for the Fourth Shinobi World War, Rōshi was reincarnated by Kabuto Yakushi to fight against the Allied Shinobi Forces, before being mobilised alongside the other deceased jinchūriki.
As dawn broke on the second day of war, it was revealed that Tobi had turned the reincarnated jinchūriki into his own customised Six Paths of Pain, with each having a Rinnegan and Sharingan in place of their left and right eyes respectively. Each jinchūriki also had their particular tailed beast resealed within them and a chakra receiver embedded into their bodies.
Rōshi later travelled together with Tobi, in pursuit of Naruto and Killer B. Encountering their targets, the reincarnated jinchūriki were sent into battle with Rōshi leading the offensive, using his Lava Release: Scorching Stream Rock Technique to pressure the enemy. When this initial assault failed, he, like the others, unleashed the power of their respective tailed beast by materialising the first of its tails.
Whilst Naruto and B conversed, Rōshi exploited this opportunity to attack the former directly, after covering his body in lava. Despite evading the strike, Naruto's face was still scorched by the heat, but when Rōshi attacked again, Naruto endured the blow in an attempt to destroy the chakra receiver embedded in Rōshih's chest. However, this was thwarted by Han. Incapacitated in the wake of the Eight-Tails' devastating attack, after B's recent transformation, Rōshi was then restrained by the latter's sealing technique. However, before the technique's completion, he managed to escape by adopting his Version 2 form, where he then proceeded to burn the Eight-Tails.
Regrouping with the other reincarnated jinchūriki, after Kakashi Hatake and Might Guy's intervention, Rōshi charged past the pair towards Naruto and B. When he clashes with the former, Tobi forcefully transformed him into his full Four-Tails form, where he then proceeded to assault the Eight-Tails. Grabbing one of the beast's tails, Rōshi hurled the two jinchūriki upwards and, after dislodging Naruto in the process, prepared to swallow him. However, despite Naruto's efforts to lodge himself between the beast's jaws, and B's attempts to restrain the ape, the former is ultimately swallowed whole.
While Naruto conversed subconsciously with Son Gokū, Rōshi resisted B's efforts to free his captive comrade, only to be forced to eject Naruto when the young man multiplied. He then tried to impede Naruto from removing the chakra receiver embedded in the beast's chest, but failed to do so thanks to a coordinated strike, leaving Rōshi's incapacitated body behind as Son Gokū was resealed into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
When a transformed Naruto's Tailed Beast Ball later clashed with the collaborative one formed by the other tailed beasts, Rōshi's unconscious body was protected by the Eight-Tails from the resulting blast. Afterwards, Naruto subconsciously met with the other beasts and their jinchūriki, where it was revealed that shortly before Son was resealed, Rōshi questioned his beast as to whether it thought they too had taken the wrong path during life. He then stated that despite not being considerate enough to have spoken it, he had not forgotten the beast's real name. As the two fade away, a smiling Rōshi asked the beast if calling it "Son" would be all right.
After Son was resealed into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Rōshi and the other jinchūriki's corpses were collected by B and held in the Eight-Tails' tentacles. With the release of the Impure World Reincarnation, Rōshi and the others are enveloped in a light of sorts before their bodies start to deconstruct and Rōshi's soul returned to the afterlife.
Video Games
Rōshi is a playable character in the following video games:
|Game name
|Japanese release
|English release
|Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3
|18 April 2013
|5 March 2013

- Rō (老) means "old age" or "elderly". Shi (紫) means "purple". It is possible Rōshi was named after the Dragon Ball character Master Rōshi, considering that the Four-Tails' design was also inspired by Dragon Ball.
- In order to prevent the jinchūriki from turning traitor, it is tradition for the host to be selected from the family of the village's own Kage. It might be that Rōshi somehow was connected with one of the Tsuchikage.
- In the manga Rōshi's headpiece is depicted as having a golden ring on the left side. The golden ring on Rōshi's headpiece was not present in the anime. This was later added as of episode 256.
- In Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3, Roshi is seen fighting by controling lava with his hand.

Ten to 15 RVs and a boat were damaged in a fire at a RV lot Friday morning.
The El Paso County Sheriff's Office is now investigating the fire as accidental.
11 News talked to investigators Friday afternoon. Right now they are not considering arson as a possible cause; they are not even calling the fire "suspicious". However, the investigation continues.
Initial reports to 11 News was the they were investigating the fire as possible arson, after the fire department spotted suspicious people hanging around the storage facility. The Sheriff's Office interviewed those people. No arrests have been made.
The fire started around 4 a.m. at Peak View Storage in the area of Paonia Street and Terminal Drive, which is east of Powers, in between Galley and Platte on the far eastern side of Colorado Springs.
The fire began in one RV and then spread. Firefighters were able to get in under control less than two hours after it was first reported.
Authorities on scene say some of the vehicles are a total loss, while others sustained moderate damage.

Painting Faculty Member Modou Dieng a Critic's Pick on Artforum
Modou Dieng, Assistant Professor of Painting and Drawing, is now listed as a Critic's Pick on Artforum.com for Black Star, his work currently on view at "The Art Gym at Marylhurst University":http://www.marylhurst.edu/theartgym/2009artstars.php. The work is shown in conjunction with Io Palmer's ArtStars, on view through December 13.
Modou Dieng is a native of Senegal, where he earned a BFA from the École National des Beaux-Arts in Dakar. He now holds an MFA at the San Francisco Art Institute in 2006 and has shown his work widely throughout the United States and Europe. Dieng also manages "Work/Sound Gallery":http://www.myspace.com/worksoundpdx in Southeast Portland.
From the review:
"Dieng overlays silk-screened images of Malcolm X with actual albums (and their covers) by Louis Armstrong, Aretha Franklin, and Isaac Hayes. The albums transmit a vibrant, kinetic energy and hark back to Marcel Duchamp's Rotorelief devices. Yet Dieng takes on the history of the readymade and Pop art with a fresh attitude and finesse."

Print Gallery Presents Work by Yoshitoshi Tsukioka
The PNCA Printmaking Department is proud to present 12 woodcuts by Yoshitoshi Tsukioka from his series One Hundred Aspects of the Moon, opening December 3 in the PNCA Printmaking Gallery.
Yoshitoshi was the most influential and prolific print artist of the Meiji period (1868-1912) in Japan. With his prints, Yoshitoshi attempted to preserve the ancient culture of Japan as it was confronted by the arrival of Western culture represented by the "Black Ships" of Admiral Perry.
Yoshitoshi's masterpiece, One Hundred Aspects of the Moon is a series of 100 woodcuts which explore Japanese and Chinese history, literature and folklore using the moon as a unifying motif. The series was a huge success and each print was sold out on the day it was released to the public.
These 12 prints from the series are part of the Japanese print collection of Irwin Lavenberg, who will be present at the opening reception from 6-8 pm, Thursday, December 3.

MFA in Visual Studies Chair Arnold J. Kemp a Critics' Pick on Artforum.com
Micah Malone reviewed recently Arnold J. Kemp's This Quiet Dust, Ladies and Gentleman in the Critics' Picks section of Artforum.com. This show is on view at "PDX Contemporary Art":http://www.pdxcontemporaryart.com/ now through November 28. Kemp became the Chair of PNCA's "MFA in Visual Studies":http://www.pnca.edu/programs/mfa/visualstudies.php program during the Fall 2009 term.
An excerpt from the review:
"It is tempting to view Arnold J. Kemp's new work strictly in formal terms: modest collages with black paint, glitter, and googly doll eyes that form abstract patterns and pleasant landscape arrangements. Yet the paint used in each piece seems not simply an aesthetic choice and suggests further musings on the elasticity of Black representation, as well as the personal biography of Kemp, an African-American artist. In several small monochromes, such as Vampire (Titled), 2009, one can see evidence of bright primary colors that were applied prior to the surface coat, a black "skin" of paint. In other works, Kemp affixes groups of googly eyes together, which rummage through the picture and impede on dense patches of black glitter, the mixture both kitschy and mildly foreboding."

Feldman Gallery + Project Space Presents Work by Sandow Birk
PNCA's Feldman Gallery + Project Space is proud to present two projects from the award-winning Los Angeles-based artist Sandow Birk from November 5, 2009 through January 8, 2010.
In Depravities of War Birk draws on Jacques Callot's "Miseries and Misfortunes of War" to create a series of monumental woodcut prints, each measuring 48" x 96," commenting on the debaucheries of contemporary warfare. Printed in collaboration with master printer Paul Mullowney of HuiPress in Makawao, Hawaii, this body of work features traditional woodblock printing techniques on Japanese paper.
In the series _American Qur'an_, Birk hand-transcribes and illuminates the Holy Qur'an with scenes from contemporary American life. Birk's version of the Qur'an is based on traditional manuscripts—chapter headings are decorated and the pages are illuminated with miniature paintings in full color, using inks, acrylics, gouache, pencil, and metallic paints.
Raised on the beaches of Orange County and currently living in Southern California, "Sandow Birk":http://www.sandowbirk.com/ is a product of West Coast culture. Well-traveled and a graduate of the Otis Art Institute of Parsons School of Design, Los Angeles, his work has explored Los Angeles County in its entirety, as well as locations around the nation and abroad.
With an emphasis on social issues, frequent subjects of his past work have included barrio life, inner-city violence, graffiti, imprisonment, surfing, and skateboarding. Often merging fact and fiction, Birk creates salient and humorous works that invoke justice. He frequently pursues a particular subject in depth, developing a body of paintings, drawings, prints, and dioramas to support his idea.
In the past several years Birk's work has been included in more than 10 museum exhibitions and 25 solo shows; he has received a National Endowment for the Arts grant, a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Fulbright Fellowship, a Getty Fellowship, and a City of Los Angeles Fellowship. Two of Birk's major projects, "In Smog and Thunder" and "Incarcerated: Vision of California in the 21st Century," were published as monographs by Last Gasp, and Birk's version of "Dante's Inferno" was published by Chronicle Books in 2004. Birk has exhibited with Catharine Clark Gallery since 1994.
Birk will visit the PNCA campus in December for a "free public lecture":http://www.pnca.edu/exposure/calendar.php?list_type=12&year=2009&cat=1&dir=next.

MFA in Applied Craft and Design Presents Aly Khalifa

Hybrid Gallery Presents Little Gods Through December 11
An exhibition of moving image installations opened recently at The Hybrid Gallery, a Gerding Edlen Project with Pacific Northwest College of Art, activating the space during the opening of the new "Indigo @ Twelve | West":http://www.indigo12west.com/ building in Southwest Portland, Oregon.
Thousands of visitors attended the opening of the building, and had the opportunity to view dynamic work selected from the College's July 2009 "Boundary Crossings: An Institute in Contemporary Animated Arts":http://www.pnca.edu/boundarycrossings program.
Little Gods is an investigation into the magic of objects, concepts and notions that we invest with special meaning: talismans and charms, lucky articles, measurements, numbers, clocks, calendars, schedules and routines. From what we know there are no real singularities in the universe. Let us therefore bring back the little gods.
Featured PNCA artists: Chris Bodven, Katie Harral, Liz Harris, Chad Hinman, Shelley Jordon, Tabitha Knight, Alison Reiko Loader, Joey Lusterman, Akira Nakamura, Jeffrey Richardson, Jessie Weitzel and Cecilia Westerberg.
Little Gods was a studio co-taught by Paul Vester, Experimental Animation Program Co-Director, "CalArts":http://calarts.edu/film/video/programs/experimentalanimation, and Rose Bond, faculty member, "PNCA Intermedia Department":http://www.pnca.edu/programs/bfa/majors/intermedia.php, and Director of Boundary Crossings: An Institute in Contemporary Animated Arts during the summer institute.
The current exhibition is open to the public 6–8 p.m., Thursdays; and 5–8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays through December 11.
PNCA Hosts Children's Creativity: Why the Visual Arts Matter
PNCA hosts the city's first children's creativity symposium, Children's Creativity: Why the Visual Arts Matter, November 11–14, focusing on the relevance of artistic processes of inquiry, reflection, and expression to the cognitive, emotional, and social development of children.
The PNCA+FIVE Idea Studio will feature a range of activities—including workshops and lectures—reporting on and exploring the growing body of evidence that the arts nurture and develop complex thinking and communication skills. Featured speakers include authors/professors Dr. Ellen Handler Spitz and Dr. Lois Hetland. Visit "Continuing Education":http://www.pnca.edu/artsmatter to register for workshops.
An arts education is now recognized as providing keys tools for the development of metaphorical thinking, the ability to creatively problem-solve, and life-long learning. Fulfilled and productive participation in the cultural, social, and economic processes of the 21st Century society is a key aspect of a creative arts education. Join PNCA for this groundbreaking series that explores the breadth and depth of an arts education.
Complementing the symposium, Imagine: 100 Years of Work from PNCA's Children's Art Archives, features work by generations of children taught in PNCA's Youth Program. The exhibition is curated by Sally Lawrence, PNCA President Emerita and Amy Williams, former PNCA Youth Art Program Director with additional support from long-time Youth Program faculty Bonnie Allen and MaryEllen Hartman.

CraftPerspectives: Vicki Halper
The Museum of Contemporary Craft in partnership with Pacific Northwest College of Art presents a free public lecture featuring Vicki Halper, 6 p.m. Tuesday, November 3 in the College's Swigert Commons, part of its "CraftPerspectives":http://www.museumofcontemporarycraft.org/programs_lecture.php series.
A lecturer during the Museum of Contemporary Craft's 2008 exhibition _Glass_, Vicki Halper returns to provide context to the historical shifts examined in the exhibition, _The Academy is Full of Craft_. In this presentation, Halper reads from the new book _Choosing Craft: The Artist's Viewpoint_ (The University of North Carolina Press, 2009), co-edited by Halper and Diane Douglas. This anthology recounts American craft's role within visual culture and history through journal entries, lectures and other reports by leaders in the field.

MFA in Applied Craft and Design Presents Ellen Dissanayake
PNCA's Graduate Visiting Artist Lecture Series continues with an MFA in Applied Craft and Design lecture by independent scholar, author, and lecturer Ellen Dissanayake, 6:30 p.m. Thursday, October 29.
Dissanayake's writings about the arts synthesize many disciplines and draw upon 15 years of living and working in non-Western countries. Her Darwinian viewpoint provides a broader understanding of the arts than is customary in most theoretical approaches: the arts are integral to human nature and they evolved to help individuals adapt to their physical and social environments.
She is the author of three books: _What Is Art For?_, _Homo Aestheticus_, and _Art and Intimacy_, as well as over 70 scholarly and popular articles. Her articles on craft themes have appeared in _American Craft_, the _NCECA Journal_ (1995), the _Glass Art Society Journal_ (1996), _Surface Design Journal_, a _Haystack Institute Monograph_ (2000), and _The Nature of Craft and the Penland Experience_ (2004). Currently, she is Affiliate Professor in the School of Music at the University of Washington, Seattle.

Robert Boyd and Brian Lund Shows Close October 24
Explore Robert Boyd's "Conspiracy Theory" and the intricate drawings of Brian Lund in the Feldman Gallery + Project Space—both shows close October 24.
Part of the recent Time-Based Arts Festival presented by Portland Institute for Contemporary Art, both shows have garnered wide interest from the Portland community/
Robert Boyd's Conspiracy Theory is a synchronized two-channel video installation, addressing issues of social paranoia and civil distrust in an era of questionable politics. The video covers topics from government involvement in the September 11 attacks to human invention of the HIV/AIDS virus, and the bizarre "reptilian agenda" that reveals reptilians as rulers of humanity.
Incorporating audio and video excerpts from syndicated radio talk show hosts, international conspiracists and more, Conspiracy Theory addresses some of today's leading conspiracies relayed by their most evocative proponents. Set to a fast-paced dance track, the work functions as both a critique and parody while raising the question: What if all is not as it seems?
Brian Lund's pencil drawings feature a self-invented visual vocabulary, consisting of a complex system of dots, dashes, lines, and numbers that translate the vast editing systems of Hollywood films into abstract compositions. This series of works on paper draw from two cinematic sources: Oliver Stone's Wall Street (1987) and Busby Berkeley's choreographed dance sequences from Depression-era Hollywood musicals. Every character and/or action in Wall Street and the Berkeley dance numbers has been graphically translated to a series of marks.
Through an interweaving of these diagrammatic forms, Lund interprets a complex and layered multimedia experience. Lund's works are highlighted in the Project Space.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- The Office of the Attorney General in D.C. says the D.C. Court of Appeals dismissed the claims by the Fraternal Order of Police and 9 current and former Metropolitan Police Department officers that they were disciplined because they were whistleblowers.
The union and officers had sought a $15 million lawsuit, Freeman v. District of Columbia. The lawsuit came about in 2005 when the police department decided to deny the officers' requests to work during off-duty hours as security guards.
Six of the seven claims originally brought by each plaintiff was dismissed before trial and 7 of 10 plaintiffs were dismissed outright. The remained three plaintiffs proceeded to trial on only one original claim.
According to the Office of the Attorney General in press release, "The jury returned a verdict in favor of the District in the case of two of these three plaintiffs, but awarded $12,665 in back pay and non-economic damages to plaintiff Sean McLaughlin. " In a ruling Thursday, however, the court "set aside a jury verdict of $12,000 obtained by one officer, affirmed jury verdicts and lower court rulings against all other claims by the officers, and set aside an award of more than $430,000 in attorneys' fees that the lower court had granted to the FOP lawyers."
The Court explained:
[Whistleblower statutes] do not institute a lottery scheme under which would-be whistleblowers receive protection for making unsupported accusations if they happen to be lucky and, for reasons unknown to them, the accusations turn out to be supportable after all. Rumor and suspicion do not provide an objectively reasonable foundation for an accusation of illegal government conduct.

North Carolina-based company SPX has announced that it's closing Dielectric Communications, located in Raymond, Maine, at the end of June.
Raymond Town Manager Don Willard calls this very bad news for the town of Raymond and the Sebago Lake region.
"My primary concern today is the number of employees that live in the town of Raymond and in the neighboring communities that will be losing their jobs," Willard says.
Willard says Dielectric is one of the two largest employers in the area. He says it's not going to be easy to find an employer of that magnitude to replace Dielectric.
Dialectric makes antennae and signal transmission equipment equipment for television and radio broadcasters.

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - If you take the time to read Gary Myers'
excellent book "Coaching Confidential," you'll find out that deposed New
Orleans coach Sean Payton developed quite the ego after winning Super Bowl
Payton, of course, was suspended for the entire 2012 season by the NFL for
his alleged cover-up of a bounty program which rewarded defenders for
deliberately attempting to knock opposing players out of games.
Plenty of others were caught up as well with then-defensive coordinator Gregg
Williams taking the hardest hit for doling out the funds for big hits, and
current Saints interim coach Joe Vitt having to sit out six games for his part
in the fiasco.
These days Payton spends most of his time at his home in the Dallas area,
serving as the offensive coordinator for his son Connor's sixth-grade team
while contemplating 2013.
It's safe to say Payton wasn't exactly happy watching his team implode on
Thursday night in Atlanta but if Myers' description of Payton is even mildly
accurate, it's also not hard to imagine a wry smile emanating from the coach,
secure in the knowledge New Orleans needs him to succeed.
The most puzzling part of the Falcons' 23-13 statement win on Thursday was the
play of Saints quarterback Drew Brees, who threw a career-high five
interceptions and saw his remarkable consecutive games streak with a touchdown
pass end at 54 games.
Universally regarded as one of the smartest signal-callers in the game, Brees
played like a raw rookie in the Georgia Dome, forcing the ball into coverage
time and time again, throwing across his body and mismanaging the clock.
His most egregious error came in the warnings second of the first half with
New Orleans trailing 17-7.
With just 45 seconds left to play before intermission and no timeouts
remaining, Brees hit scatback Darren Sproles for a 12-yards gain down to the
Atlanta 5-yard line.
Instead of spiking the ball or at least exhibiting a sense of urgency, Brees
had his team in a loose huddle and took the next snap with only 12 ticks
remaining. To make matters worse, the former MVP checked down in the middle of
the field to Sproles, who was tackled at the two as time expired.
A possible seven points and an almost assured three turned into nothing for
New Orleans as time expired.
If Mark Sanchez had done the same thing in New York or Michael Vick in
Philadelphia, it's safe to say they would be eviscerated today.
Heck if Andrew Luck, RG3 or any of the other rookie quarterbacks starting
did the same thing, journalists across the country would be scouring the
thesaurus for the best synonym for dumb and describing how -- insert team here
-- will never win the Super Bowl with a quarterback who can't handle something
so simple.
Perhaps the real difference between Brees and most quarterbacks, besides the
four All-Pro nods and Super Bowl crown, is the way he handles a faux pas after
the fact.
"Honestly I thought we had more time than we did," Brees said candidly. "Last
time I looked up at the clock I saw 17 seconds so I thought we had time to
throw one underneath and get up there and clock it. Unfortunately the clock
was down to seven by the time I looked back up at it after getting the
completion and it wasn't enough time to get a spike."
"That's my mistake. That can't happen. We've got points, at least three, and
definitely another shot at the end zone so that was on me. That can't happen."
Leadership is the most important intangible for any quarterback and Brees
never passes the buck or points at others.
"I felt like we managed the clock all the way down and then unfortunately once
we got inside the 10 just lost track of it," Brees said. "I thought I had more
Plenty of analysts believe the whole scenario would never have played out with
Payton in Brees' ear but that belief is an indirect indictment of the entire
Saints coaching staff.
After all, thinking no one on the New Orleans sideline is lucid enough to
understand something that's second nature to virtually anyone who has ever
played the game is ludicrous.
I'll stick with Occam's razor -- sometimes the simplest explanation is the
correct one.
Brees had a bad night in Atlanta.
It happens to us all. It happens to Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady and Peyton
Manning and it happened to Joe Montana, John Elway and Dan Marino.
It happens to the great quarterbacks a whole lot less, though.
"I felt as good coming into this game as I have all season about the passing
game about throwing it," Brees said. "It doesn't really matter how (the
interceptions) happened though the responsibility is mine. I pride myself on
being a great decision maker and the guy that is going to help us win the game
and not be a detriment and turn the ball over like that."
At the risk of inflating Payton's ego even more we can all admit the Saints
need their head coach back to compete at the highest level again but not
because of what happened on Thursday night.
New Orleans needs the continuity Payton provides and his brilliant game
planning skills -- things that can help lessen the number of bad days not
eliminate them.
"A couple of critical mistakes today ended up costing us the game and I'm okay
saying that because I have to hold myself accountable," Brees said. "I've made
some critical mistakes in the last few weeks and they have cost us dearly. I
felt like our team really played their butt off in all phases. Were there
mistakes made yes, but we played well enough to win."

- Luna: "After all, Cornelius Fudge has got his own private army."
- Harry: "What?"
- Luna: "Yes, he's got an army of heliopaths."
- Hermione: "No, he hasn't."
- — Luna and Hermione bicker over the existence of heliopaths.[src]
A Heliopath is allegedly, a spirit of fire which gallops and burns anything in its path. This is one of the many creatures Luna Lovegood asserts exist, but which is not documented anywhere else. She once claimed that the former Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge had an army of these creatures at his command, though given his ineptitude for leadership, as well as Luna's beliefs being dubious, this is unlikely. She also claimed there were plenty of eye-witnesses to their existence.
The name "Heliopath" appears to derive from the Greek hḗlios meaning "sun"[1] (and therefore also the name of a Greek solar deity) combined with the suffix "-path" from Greek páthos meaning "suffering, sensation"[2]. Therefore, a Heliopath means "sun sensation/sensation of the sun" or (more correctly) "something which feels like the Sun" - a fitting description (assuming that these creatures exist at all). Alternately, given their attribute of burning everything in their path, it could be correct to say they are or they bring "suffering like that of the Sun" - an intense heat, certainly.
