kms from Pithoragarh, Champawat
is situated 1615 mts. above sea level & was originally the capital
of Chand Rajas of Kumaon. It was at Champawat that Lord Vishnu is
said to have appeared in Kurmavatar hence Kumaon came to be known
as Kurmanchal.
small fort and the temples of Baleshwar, Champadari, Ratneshwar
and Durga adorn the city. Champawat is famous not only from historical,
sculptural and archaeological point of view but also for its abundant
scenic beauty.
places worth seeing near Champawat are Narsinh Danda, Hingia Devi,
Hidimba Ghatokach temple, Maneshwar, Karanteshwar and temple of
Surya at village Ramak.
Season: Round the year
Baleshwar Temple
Baleshwar is the most artistic temple of the district. There
are evidences to the effect that the group of temples dedicated
to Baleshwar, Ratneshwar and Champawati Durga had been built by
the early kings of the Chand dynasty. The temple once had intricate
structural features and a sanctuary with a 'mandap'. The intricate
carvings still visible on the ceilings of these temples are an evidence
of their ancient glory and artistic excellence.
A deity of widespread faith and influence, Gwal Devta also known
as Goril or Goll, is considered to be the presiding deity of justice.
It is believed that when approached, Gwal Devta dispenses justice
to a helpless victim of injustice and cruelty. Historically, Goril
a Katyuric prince of Champawat, known for his unwavering justice
and fair play, was himself a victim of planned conspiracy hatched
up by his step mother, who had him thrown into a river, locked up
in an iron cage. Held in high esteem as a symbol of justice, a temple
was constructed in his honour after his demise at Golchaurh in Champawat.
Ever since, he has grown into a deity of great influence. The
At a distance of 45 kms. from Lohaghat, Devidhura is famous for
its Barahi temple where the traditional Bagwal (fair) is held once
every year on the festival of Raksha Bandhan.
Kranteshwar Mahadev
To the east of Champawat, the temple dedicated to Kranteshwar
Mahadev is situated on the top of a lofty hill. It is also called
Kurmapad and Kandev.
Punyagirl Temple: (94 kms) It is one of the most famous temples
of Kumaon. Thousands of pilgrims
visit the shrine during the period April to June. A distance of

Purnagiri. The fair starts from Vishuwat Sanskranti and continues
for about forty days.
Devi Dhura Fair
This fair takes place at Varahidevi temple in Devidhura, situated
at the border of Almora, Pithoragarh
and Nainital districts. It is
held every year on the day of Rakshabandhan. An unique feature of
this fair is the image of Goddess Varahi kept in a locked brass
casket. The casket is taken out in a procession to a nearby mountain
spring where a blindfolded priest ritually bathes the image and
puts it back in the casket. The Goddess is worshipped whole night
and the next morning and exciting ' Bagwaal' fair takes place. The
event is marked by two groups of people fighting a battle in front
of the temple, throwing stones at each other, while they try to
protect themselves by using big roof-like shields. Thousands of
people gather to watch this event. The fighting stops soon after
the priest appears and both sides meet and reconcile.

Energy harvesting is a concept that involves extracting energy from light, heat or motion. The German Institute for Physical Measurement Techniques, for example, uses thermoelectricity, whereby electricity is generated by a flow of heat – at the wrist, for instance.
It sounds like a modern outdoor enthusiast's dream. While the coffee is brewing on the camping stove, the cellphone is recharging too. It could be done by placing a thermoelectric module between the flame and the kettle – a thermo- electric generator that is able to produce electricity from a thermal difference. The structural design has already been worked out and tested, though only in a Japanese laboratory so far.
To produce electricity this way, the Japanese made use of an effect that had been described even before the electric light bulb was invented. In 1821, Thomas J Seebeck made the observation that a compass needle would be deflected in the presence of two different, interconnected conductors when there was a temperature difference at the junctions. In his experiment, Seebeck converted thermal energy into electrical energy. Jean CA Peltier described the reverse procedure in 1834.
The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration uses the Seebeck effect for its space probes. In space, thermoelectric generators convert the decay heat of radio- active materials into electricity. On earth, heat can be a by-product of numerous processes, and usually 'fades away' unused into the atmosphere – though such energy would be first-class fodder for the "energy-producing domestic pig", as Dr Harlad B�ttner, of the German Institute of Physical Measurement Techniques, in Freiburg, occasionally calls thermo- electricity with a wink.
Sus scrofa domestica, one of the order of ungulate mammals, is not choosy about its food. Nor is thermoelectricity. "It can eat just about anything, and make good use of almost everything, as long as it is warm," B�ttner says.
Even human body heat can be harnessed to power a wrist watch, for instance.
The "energy-producing domestic pig" does not make optimum use of its fodder, however. This is due to the material, which needs to have a high Seebeck coefficient while acting as a good electrical conductor and a poor thermal conductor.
"It is not normally possible to optimise all those properties at the same time," B�ttner remarks. For thermoelectricity to achieve a widespread breakthrough, the efficiency of the materials would have to be at least doubled.
Micropower engineering can achieve this with nanomaterials and special manufacturing pro-cesses. The key to success lies in composite materials that must not be more than a few micrometres thick – even though they are made up of between one and two thousand nanometre-scale layers. Such materials can already be produced in the laboratory, while developers are still working to scale up the processes to industrial level.
Scientists at the German Institute for Physical Measurement Techniques have discovered a promising approach. In collaboration with researchers at Infineon, they have developed micro-Peltier elements along with industrial-scale manufacturing processes. The elements can be used for the highly accurate cooling of microprocessors and for the rapid tempering of very small samples in a laboratory.
Manufacturing and sales have, meanwhile, been entrusted to an Infineon subsidiary, Micropelt, of Freiburg.
In addition to the cooling elements, thermogenerators – both small and large – will play a bigger part on the institute's agenda in future microthermal energy generators for operating tiny self-sufficient sensors in sensor networks and, likewise, their big brothers, which, for instance, convert the waste heat from garbage incineration plants into electricity.

The World Cup and "Brazil's Dance With the Devil"
If you are a soccer fan, have even a passing interest in Brazil, or are battling neoliberalism in the streets you should read this book. If you're struggling to enjoy the World Cup knowing it is paid for on the backs of poor Brazilians, this book won't make it any easier. But you will walk out with a greater appreciation of the depth of Brazil's great love of soccer, and its deep societal contradictions because of the country's aggressive adoption of neoliberal economic policies that gut the public sector for private gain.
Curiously enough, I found Dave Zirin's latest book, "Brazil's Dance With the Devil: the World Cup, the Olympics and the Fight for Democracy" in the "Travel" section of San Francisco's City Lights Bookstore. Not "Sports" or "Politics" or "Sports and Politics", a genre Zirin carves out through his many books or as the first sports editor of the Nation. Upon reflection, it makes a lot of sense – for many people, their only interaction with Brazil is as a tourist. And Zirin's new book reads very much as travelogue as he charts his interactions with Brazil's social movement Left. But as conscious, political people, we know that there's always another layer. Indeed, the project of Picked Last Sports is to expose that deeper layer of sports, warts and all.
Truthfully, I wish all travel books contained Zirin's analysis of a country's social history, political economy, and his keen journalistic observations. Zirin details Brazil's history from colonization until today with eye towards the stories of Brazil's most oppressed: the poor, the Black, and the Indigenous. As I learned as a part of my own travel to Belem in 2009 to represent Grassroots Global Justice at the World Social Forum, Brazil has an inspiring history of social justice struggle and strong movements today. I wish I had this book instead of a stack of academic articles in preparation. Zirin doesn't shy away from drawing comparisons and distinctions between the US and Brazil, likely to help US-based readers like myself understand the similarities in the two countries as nations roiled by the legacies of slave trade but also differentiate the racial ideologies and economic histories of the both.
These histories prove crucial to Zirin's discussion of the class cleavages evident in Brazilian society. For us as readers, it fills in the political context necessary for understanding the mass uprisings by the Brazilian people against FIFA (the body governing the World Cup), the International Olympic Committee, and the Brazilian government itself. This fills deep holes in most mainstream protest reporting and without a doubt in most sports reporting. These are not just random demonstrations, but the culmination of ordinary Brazilians' long struggle for democracy, freedom, and economic justice. And in dedicating an entire chapter on Brazil's charismatic leader Lula, Zirin attempts to answer how a Left political party oversaw the massive land grabs and wealth transfers associated with neoliberal economic policy. The stadium building, eviction and surveillance are just aspects of that strategy.
Zirin retreads some ground if you've followed his writing on The Nation or at his site EdgeOfSports.com by reviewing past Olympics and World Cup boondoggles starting with the 2004 Athens. Fans of Zirin can skip these sections, but they are a key part of his searing critique of institutions like the IOC and FIFA. These institutions he argues, reflect and enforce neoliberal policies that demand austerity measures like cutting social services to finance massive building projects.
Counter to these policies is the demands by regular Brazilians for "FIFA quality" schools and hospitals. This is where Dave Zirin is at his best, reporting on the struggles of activists and regular people he meets while putting those street battles in the context of global capitalism. The opposition (hungry developers, overzealous police forces, corrupt politicians) is staggering, but people rise to the challenge nonetheless through street protest, social media, and old-fashioned community organizing. Sadly and unsurprisingly, successes are few and even then temporary. Yet the stories of struggle by regular Brazilians though, thrill and inspire in both detail and scale. From favela residents battling to keep their homes to the million that protested the Confederations Cup in 2013, Zirin reminds us that another world is indeed possible, and oh is it necessary.
"Brazil's Dance With the Devil: the World Cup, the Olympics and the Fight for Democracy" is essential reading for sports fans, organizers, and people who like books with long-ass names. Get it now at a local book store, or better yet, get it directly from Dave when he visits the Bay Area June 24-25. He'll be speaking on the 24th 7:00 PM at the Center for Political Education in SF, and again the following night in Oakland on the 25th at 8:00 PM at SoleSpace. You're in for a treat in Oakland, Picked Last Sports' own Harjit Singh Gill will be hosting that talk. Get it.
Soccer for fun, for community, for revolution
This weekend, radical footballers gather in Oakland for Copa Communidad VII 2014. Guest writer Vivian Huang admits that she is not a sports fan, but loves to simply play and in this piece, reflects on the revolutionary possibility of soccer:
It's fitting that I would be blogging on this site, as I was often picked almost-last in elementary school PE. This practice – the process where the team captains take turns picking teammates – created an understanding early on about who was athletic and therefore, popular and on top of the social hierarchy. As a kid, I didn't like team sports – they all seemed to involve a lot of putting down your opponents, stressful fighting among teammates, and people yelling at me when I made a mistake. I remember being part of a lot of soccer games in elementary school PE, and when I say "being part of" I mean hanging out in the back area near the goal, talking to the other outcasts, and making grass flower bracelets, all the while wishing that I could be somewhere else, reading a good book.
Well, years later, I did go and read a good book, one that transformed the way I thought about soccer. Eduardo Galeano's "Soccer in Sun and Shadow" is an homage to the beauty, grit, and inspiration of the play of soccer. The beginning dedication reads,
"The pages that follow are dedicated to the children who, once upon a time, years ago, crossed my path on the Calella de la Costa. They had been playing soccer and were singing: We lost, we won, either way we had fun."
The ending chapter offers up this wisdom, "A reporter once asked the German theologian Dorothee Solee: 'How would you explain to a child what happiness is?' 'I wouldn't explain it,' she answered. 'I'd toss him a ball and let him play.'
I've been fortunate to discover belatedly the joy that comes from playing with a ball as I kick it with Left Wing Futbol Club, a group of anti-imperialists who play with the motto "If you want to change the world, you have to change the way you play."
It is a space where everybody plays according to their ability, nobody keeps score, and the love of the game and your fellow community members is the only thing that matters. I'm there to experience that joy from running with the wind, playing with the ball, laughing at the ridiculously bad (and good) moves, and momentarily forgetting the heartbreaks of the world.
I was inspired by the protests in Brazil, as millions turned out to protest the injustice of capitalism having turned kicking a ball into a multi-billion dollar sports industry while so many are without basic education and social services. Galeano writes,
"Brazilians, who are the most soccer-mad of all, have decided not to allow their sport to be used any more as an excuse for humiliating the many and enriching the few. The fiesta of soccer, a feast for the legs that play and the eyes that watch, is much more than a big business run by overlords from Switzerland. The most popular sport in the world wants to serve the people who embrace it. That is a fire police violence will never put out."
If transforming our system has to start from transformation within, then playing soccer for fun, for community, and for joy can be a revolutionary act in of itself. Soccer should serve the people. Let's play!
"Next Goal Wins" Movie Review
Growing up with a very crude understanding of imperialism, colonialism, and world history I freakin' loved the World Cup for the chance to witness non-Western European country win it all and bring pride and dignity back to their homeland. Next Goal Wins is, on the surface, about this. American Samoan men (with one exception of a third gendered person on the team) trying to gain the respect and dignity for themselves and their country. The documentary follows their journey to qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, still in the shadow of their infamous 31-0 loss to Australia in 2001.
The American Samoa soccer team is the underest of underdogs. They are literally last place in the World FIFA rankings. A win means going from 180th to 170th in the rankings. Despite the low stakes, this is place where passion, sincerity, and heart thrives. The players are amateurs: youth, students, and working class folks volunteering for the chance to represent their people, culture, and country on the international stage. Rarely in any other situation is the motivation to play as pure.
The documentary is more than the games, though. There are glimpses of deeper issues in American Samoa: how American Samoa deals with being an American territory while nearby Samoa is an independent nation, Samoan culture rejecting (Western) gender binaries through its concept of Fa'afafine, and how the majority of American Samoan youth enlist in the United States military because there are no jobs in their country.
These small hints give insight into how soccer is used as a channel for the players to understand their role in the grand scheme of things. This is how they try to understand how they can serve their community as American Samoan in a diaspora hugely influenced by United States militarism. Even if American Samoa did win the World Cup, it wouldn't fix everything, but it would feel damn good.
P.S. There's definitely some of the white guy finding himself in this movie, but to me it was minimal and ignorable (of course would've been better if was removed entirely).

Next Goal Wins
Last week PickedLastSports.com was fortunate to interview Jaiyah Saelua and Nicky Salapu, both players of the American Samoa national soccer team, highlighted in the recently released documentary Next Goal Wins. The film documents their struggles as the worst team in the world, juggling family and work as amateur players, but also the brilliant successes: their first goal and win in a match, and in the case of Jaiyah, being the first transgender person to play in a World Cup qualifer. Check out our interview at Apex Express. For folks in the Bay Area, the film is playing at the Roxie in San Francisco, right now.
Red-Carding Israeli Apartheid
The following is a write up of an action that occurred over the weekend by a dear friend/chosen family member of mine, Joshua Stephens. Enjoy. –Harjit
I don't really consider myself a sports guy. While I grew up in the Mediterranean, where futbol is part of the ether, as is the case in much of the world, I attended an American high school in which athletics were largely a vector for securing impunity (or even validation) for the worst of American behaviors. Like clockwork, one inter-cultural incident bordering on diplomatic ordeal after another bore the fingerprints of, and was swept under the rug for the sake of athletes with whom I shared classrooms. What I observed in professional sports mostly inflated that narrative: a realm shot through with idiot man-child antics, rewarded with million-dollar contracts – to say nothing of a relentless and bright, flashing sign to young men of color that their value is pegged to precious few options, and even then features a stark expiration date. Virtually everything about the enterprise felt contemptible, to me.
That said, maturity can largely be measured one's capacity for abiding complexity and contradiction. Both my work in Palestine solidarity circles and my exposure to works like Gabriel Kuhn's brilliant Soccer Vs. the State: Tackling Football and Radical Politics sort of forced on me an acceptance (if somewhat begrudging) that the history of sport is intimately bound up with colonialism, struggles against racism and political authority, and even simple survival. When Ayed Morrar, a political prisoner from the First Intifada and one of the protagonists of the documentary Budrus, was in DC for the Silver Docs festival the summer of 2010, I took him out to breakfast at a joint around the corner from my old apartment, to watch Brazil play Portugal in the World Cup. As our coffee was poured, he leaned over and intimated that, during his time in Israeli prisons, "one month never felt like incarceration – World Cup."
Indeed, as frequently as I hear anything else when visiting Ramallah, it's the running joke that the most enduring point of unity among Palestinians is FC Barcelona, and my first night in town last Spring involved journalist Joseph Dana sitting me down and forcing me to watch the documentary Fire in Babylon, on the rise of the West Indies cricket team in the late 1970's. He subsequently hauled me into his front yard at regular intervals to practice pitching/batting with him. I was, and remain, terrible at both. Nonetheless, I've come to appreciate how sports narratives hold a central place in the history of a host of struggles, for many of the people around me.
This past weekend, Israel's national team faced off against Honduras here in New York City, and fittingly, local boycott champions Adalah-NY had acquired tickets, determined to throw, at least, a fleeting light on Israel's occupation, apartheid policies, and ethnic cleansing. I enthusiastically accepted an invitation to participate, in part because it meant carrying direct action into a terrain with which I had pretty much zero familiarity, and in part because futbol has recently featured quite prominently in both Israel's attempts at normalizing colonialism, and Palestinians' attempts to resist it. Much as my acceptance of sport's place within the history of various struggles, it felt like meeting someone where they're at.
Israeli-Palestinian sociologist Tamir Sorek has written extensively on soccer in Israel, pointing out "Football is an effective vehicle for Israel to rehabilitate its image with the international community. A large sporting event is an ideal opportunity for Israel to present itself as a normal country." The last month has seen protests in a number of international locales stemming from UEFA's decision to hold its under-21 tournament in Israel. Desmond Tutu has joined in calls from fans and human rights voices alike for a sports boycott of Israel, modeled on similar, successful challenges to Apartheid South Africa. "The most fundamental principal of international sports is fair play," said David Zirin, sports editor for The Nation. "The fact that Palestinian national team members have been assassinated, bombed, imprisoned without charges, and of course physically prevented at checkpoints from participating, all point to a disturbing truth: Israel doesn't play by the rules. Their targeting of 'a national team without a nation' is about more than politics. It's about killing hope and all fair-minded people in the international sports community should call it out for what it is."
Leading the boycott calls are Palestinian national footballers Honey Thaljieh and Mahmoud Sarsak, the latter having made international headlines last year with a 92-day hunger strike to protest his nearly three years in Israeli detention without charge or trial – an ordeal that wrecked his otherwise promising career. His actions set off global protests and prompted heavy pressure from FIFA for his release, while other national footballers remain in Israeli detention, namely goalie Omar Abu Rouis and striker Muhammad Nimer.
The action itself, our hoisting of a banner reading "RED CARD ISRAELI APARTHEID" just after Israel's first goal at the outset of the second half, was rather shockingly uneventful – situated as we were in a section with a considerable number of Israel supporters. We anticipated everything as serious as physical confrontation, not least because a stunning number of attendees showed up in full-on fatigues, sporting Israeli Defense Force tshirts – one older fellow rocking an IDF yarmulke, and shouting "IDF!!!" as though he'd mistaken the match-up for a military rally. The nationalism that predictably accompanies sporting events pitting one country against another merged with a romance for military aesthetics evocative of straight-up fascist themes.
This was made all the more creepy when Benjamin Netanyahu appeared sitting at a desk on the video display during halftime, repeatedly beseeching attendees to "celebrate Israel" on this or that grounds – a demonstration of the obvious insecurity the event was staged to paper-over. The government of Honduras, whatever its national faults, didn't seem similarly compelled. On another massive screen, just above the concessions adjacent to our seats, a video timeline of Israeli history played, beginning well before 1948. No mention of Palestinians. No mention of expulsions or massacres. No mention of refugees. No mention of occupation, illegal settlements, resource theft, or the construction of the Apartheid Wall.
In the end, we left the stadium – as we'd likely been doomed to – not altogether clear that we'd accomplished anything terribly measurable. Adrenaline can skew one's metrics that way. Anything eight of us did was bound to feel underwhelming, I'm sure. What we did accomplish was a certain refusal, one my sport-loving radical friends emphasize over and over, likely feeling unheard by the rest of us: A refusal to be absent; a refusal to cede any given terrain to the intolerable, however outnumbered, and however overwhelming and futile it feels.
Appropriately, this is often the texture of Palestinian resistance, as well, recalling my own encounters with those building houses doomed to demolition or planting almond groves doomed to be razed, in the shadow of Israeli settlements immunized and emboldened by massive diplomatic and military power. How we refuse to be absent matters, whatever our inhibitions, cherished comforts, or expectations. I'm humbled to have learned something of this from sporting radical friends – those who refuse all refuge to tyranny, and hold out potential for the liberatory reclamation of all aspects of life.

Less on Collins, More on Parsons
First things first, this story coming from the MLS (Major League Soccer, since only like 200 people follow it, no offense Eric) about the Portland Timbers franchise hosting a 'make a wish' game for a fan is beautiful. The '4 major sports' in the US could take a page out of the MLS book on this one, warning, it'll get you misty-eyed. #getwellatticus
To continue with the idea that every post should have a Jason Collins mention, I'll be quick and mention that he was on the BS report podcast with Bill Simmons, and it was fantastic. Totally check it out. Shocker of the podcast is that (it appears) notable Bay Area face Tim Hardaway has come around on LGTBQ rights. Great podcast. Kick it here.
NHL Playoffs started today. Since most of us (myself and Timmy included) don't follow hockey until at least the 1st round of the playoffs, maybe even the second; a quick guide to jumping on a solid bandwagon is here. Start sending your hatemail, I'm a longtime Canucks fan and I don't care.
All I have to say about Yu Darvish is 'wow.' Great .gif showing just that those 5 pitches come off the hand; so precise, it's perfection. Enjoy, watch on repeat as I do, soaking it in.
Now, on to the person of the hour. Chandler Parsons. For those who know me, my favorite basketball players are those 6'4″ ish, white shooting forwards with poor/average defense. I appreciate pure shot, despite it's downside. File myself under the general umbrella of the Mark Price/Steve Kerr fan. Chandler Parsons is not quite that, but in today's NBA, he's so much of that and more.
This is especially pertinent because tonight, The Houston Rockets beat the Oklahoma City Thunder to pull this thing to 3-2 (OKC with the lead). Parsons has come up big alongside James Harden, with a nearly 45% fg% tonight; through 27 points and was 3/6 from 'beyond the arc' as they say. Big things coming from Parsons.
We love you too Chandler.

SAP and Microsoft said yesterday that they had developed a new product to link their business-software programs in a further cooperative step between the world's leading software producers.
The project will link SAP software to Microsoft's ubiquitous Office suite, letting users funnel data from SAP software through Microsoft. That should make it easier to integrate SAP processes, such as time management, budget monitoring, travel and expense management, directly into Microsoft Office.
The program is set to be released to customers during the fourth quarter of 2005, the companies said.
Nanostring Technologies
"Bar-code" research gets additional cash
Nanostring Technologies, a computational biology company in Seattle, said it has raised an additional $3.8 million from its original cast of venture investors.
The company, which spun out of the Institute for Systems Biology in Seattle, said it raised the cash from OVP Venture Partners and Draper Fisher Jurvetson. Those firms invested $4.3 million to found Nanostring in August.
Nanostring plans to use the cash to continue developing an instrument to read what it calls molecular "bar codes." It intends to use the instrument in genetic research, medical diagnostics and agriculture. In August, it said it expected to take 18 to 24 months of testing to see how well the device works.

Arthur Andersen
$65 million to settle WorldCom claims
A federal judge gave preliminary approval yesterday to a deal under which auditor Arthur Andersen will pay $65 million to settle allegations it failed to protect investors from WorldCom's historic accounting fraud.
The settlement brings to a close a class-action lawsuit by investors that also laid blame on major investment banks that underwrote WorldCom securities and 12 former directors of WorldCom itself.
The banks settled before trial for more than $6 billion, and the directors agreed to pay nearly $25 million out of their own pockets.
Andersen was the only defendant left when the case went to trial last month. In a statement Monday, when the settlement was announced, Andersen denied wrongdoing.
Board OKs raise in cash dividend
IBM said yesterday its board raised the company's quarterly cash dividend by 11 percent to 20 cents per share, and authorized $5 billion in additional funds for use in its stock repurchase program.
The company quarterly cash dividend, which represents an increase of 2 cents per share from the previous quarter, is payable June 10 to stockholders of record at May 10.
IBM said it will repurchase shares on the open market or in private transactions from time to time, depending on market conditions. The company now has about 1.63 billion shares outstanding.
IBM shares rose 82 cents to close at $75.43 yesterday.
IBM spent $7.1 billion on share repurchases and $1.2 billion on dividends in 2004. In 2003, it bought back $4.3 billion in shares and paid $1.1 billion in dividends.

Chung set for Duck hunt
And so I asked Patrick Chung today if, from a distance, he's cheering on former Duck teammate Jairus Byrd, the rookie who's leading the NFL with nine interceptions.
"Come on, man," he said, "It's Oregon boys."
Those Oregon boys stay close — and went close to one another in the draft. The Patriots tabbed Chung with the 34th pick. Eight selections later, Buffalo called Byrd's name, with plans to convert him to safety.
The two, of course, are pretty different players. The questions surrounding Byrd prior to the draft dealt with his ability to play physical enough to man a safety spot. Conversely, Chung brought the lumber plenty, but his range was in some question.
Each moved around in the Oregon defense quite a bit, and that made it a little more difficult to peg what each guy would become as a pro.
On Chung, Bill Belichick said: "I would say for the most part he played safety responsibilities, let's put it that way, regardless of how they configured it. There was a lot of sub defense in that conference because of the multiple receivers and spread formations and things like that.
"I think Patrick, for the most part, in addition to returning punts, really played more as a safety than as a corner. And again, regardless of whether he was actually the nickel back or wasn't, you could evaluate him as a player that would be doing safety-type jobs."
And on Byrd: "Byrd played different positions. He showed a lot of position versatility in college and he definitely was a playmaker in college as well. I think the issue with Byrd coming out was he was more of a corner in college.
"It was, I would say, a little bit of a projection to safety, which he's obviously done very well there, even though he's not a regular player for them. His playing time really comes on their sub-defenses. I think he's a guy that is obviously a valuable player to have, a valuable player for the defense."
One thing's for sure — The guy has a fan here in New England.
"Always," Chung said. "I see the stuff about him. If I see highlights of him, I'll watch, and if he sees highlights of me, he'll watch. I'm gonna support him regardless – He's pretty good though, huh?"
And is that a surprise to Chung? Guess.
"Not surprised at all," he said. "I know he has very good hands and very good instincts, some of the best I've seen. I mean, that's from me, and I've practiced with him."

Navitas Naturals may be one step ahead of you by combining goji berries, acai berries and pomegranate into their Antioxidant Smoothie Blend to add to smoothies, yogurt, desserts, beverages, cereal or energy bars. Since blended foods are more easily digested, your body will be more easily able to absorb the nutrients I would consider this as easy to use as you would a protein powder. I have found that it blends best with other fruit flavors. If too much powder is used (as I had a few times) it can become too chalk like but once you figure out the right ratio you might not even be able to tell you added such fruit powder but get to enjoy the benefits of such. Especially since it is USDA organic certified, raw and vegan. Navitas Naturals has thought of everything and even included recipe blends on their website in case you are unsure of how to enjoy the benefits of your superfood blend and they aren't just strictly smoothies either. If you want to enhance your nutritional benefits with this powder and add a shortcut to your fruit consumption check out this and other smoothie blends from Navitas Naturals.

Axe is in the business of men's hair, they take it very seriously and given their latest research, so should we. Axe's research shows that 74% of girls agree that hair is one of the first things they notice about a guy. Furthermore, and worryingly for most men, 90% say that upon meeting a guy for the first time, they are at least somewhat likely to go out with him if he has good hair.
To show exactly how little us guys know our opposite sex, only 29% of men thought that hair is very important to attract a girl. Hmmm…
Well luckily Axe have put together a regime of hair products, from cleansing to styling to help you improve your chances with those 90% of women. The particularly astute among you will notice that the Axe styling collection doesn't contain any hair gel. Their 'leave no stone untouched' approach to research revealed that 90% of girls find hard, crusty, over-gelled hair a turn-off. So there you have it.
The culmination of this research is Axe's latest product Axe Smooth & Sophisticated Look Shine Pomade, which gives hair long-lasting shine and control for a smooth, polished look. Such is the pedigree of this pomade that it was a Men's Health Grooming Award 2010 winner in the 'Best Pomade' Category.
Well gent's you are in luck; Ape to Gentleman and Axe are giving you a chance to try the pomade for yourself for free, all you have to do is follow AXE on Twitter and tweet this:
"Hi @AXE! @apetogentleman said I should follow you and tweet this message to get free AXE Smooth & Sophisticated Look Shine Pomade!"
Axe will randomly select 10 people and send you the Axe Smooth & Sophisticated Look Shine Pomade.
So follow Axe on Twitter (@AXE) and claim your free award winning pomade – Research shows that this is a great idea.
The Men's Health Grooming Award committee had about 500 product submissions this year for their Grooming Awards. Their test panel comprised of grooming experts, Men's Health editors, stylists and esthiticians, narrowed this list down to a total of 39 winning products in six categories: face, shave, hair, body, teeth and fragrance.

text: Frogs are amphibians in the order Anura (meaning "tailless", from the Ancient Greek an-, without + oura, tail). Most frogs are characterized by a short body, webbed fingers and toes, protruding eyes, cleft tongue and the absence of a tail. They are excellent jumpers and many of their anatomical characteristics, particularly their long, powerful hind legs, are adaptations to improve jumping performance. Due to the permeable nature of their skin, through which they can breathe, many frogs are semi-aquatic or inhabit humid areas. They also live on land even in arid regions and some species inhabit trees or burrow in the ground. They typically lay their eggs in water and their larvae, called tadpoles, are aquatic and have gills and tails. Most tadpoles are herbivorous but adult frogs have a carnivorous diet, mostly consisting of insects, spiders, worms, slugs and snails. Frogs produce a wide range of calls particularly in their breeding season.

Die Port can Cleve is located just a block away from the central square and right next to a big mall. It is a walking distance away from the central railway station. At the same time you can find the most beautiful channels in the city only a heartbeat away.
The hotel it self is biggish, but you can still have the great feeling of tightness in corners and stairs. That feeling, combined with the channels, is the essence of Amsterdam, in my humble opinion. Don't worry: the elevator works fine as well!
Rooms are quite small, but that is what you can expect in this kind of center-located hotel. Breakfast table was more than plentiful and the service admirable. If you can find a room with a decent price, I warmly recommend this hotel.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Hotel Die Port van Cleve is a famous Dutch hotel located directly behind the Royal Palace & facing Dam Square. Due its central location, you will find many touristic and cultural sites within walking distance. Hotel Die Port van Cleve has a rich history. Heineken opened its first brewery in this building in 1864. Brasserie 'De Poort' is famous for its numbered steaks and Bar-Bodega 'De Blauwe Parade' has an unique Delft blue tile fresco dating from 1887. At the beginning of 2012, rooms were soft refurbished and all rooms were redecorated with references to the authentic tile fresco in the bar. ... more less

Man freed in Reynaldo Guevara murder case
SUN-TIMES MEDIA WIRE - Cook County prosecutors on Friday officially dropped the charges against two men convicted of murder based on suspect detective work by Chicago Police officer Reynaldo Guevara.
The move by State's Attorney Kim Foxx comes after more than two years of litigation, seeking to overturn the convictions of Roberto Almodovar and William Negron for a 1994 double-murder, a decision by the newly elected top prosecutor that "stunned" Judge James Linn.
Almodovar, who has served 23 years of a life sentence, is expected to walk out of the Cook County Jail later Friday afternoon.
Negron, who also has a pending life sentence in an unrelated murder, will remain behind bars.
Waiting outside the courtroom, Almodovar's daughter, who was just six months old when he was arrested, said she looked forward to spending Easter with her father outside the walls of prison.
"I finally get to have a dad," she said. "I get to spend Father's Day with him, Easter, birthdays."
"I have never seen anything like this," Linn said from the bench Friday morning, his courtroom packed with supporters of the two men.
Lawyers for the two men on Monday had sparred with Assistant State's Attorney Celeste Stack, arguing that the Almodovar and Negron had been convicted based on witness statements that had been tainted by Guevara, a veteran detective who has been accused of railroading suspects in dozens of cases from the late 1980s to the 1990s. Stack had argued that a key witness in Almodovar and Negron's case had recanted only after being intimidated by a gang leader.
Linn said he received a call Tuesday from one of Foxx's top deputies, announcing the prosecutions intention to drop their opposition to a new trial for Almodovar and Negron the day after the office had argued that their convictions should be upheld. The judge Friday said he was "dismayed" the State's Attorney decision meant he would not decide the case, but gave no indication how he might have ruled.
"This is the most contentious, hard-fought litigation I have ever seen," Linn said, citing days of hearings and testimony about the decades old case. "The lawyers aggressively went eyeball to eyeball with ever witness in the case."
Foxx's office on Wednesday issued a brief statement.
"After a thorough and deliberate review of the evidence and arguments presented to the circuit court, the State's Attorney's Office has concluded that the evidence presented could change the result of this case on retrial," Foxx's office said in a statement.
"In light of this decision, we have determined that proceeding with this case is no longer in the best interests of justice and we are withdrawing our opposition to petitioners' request for a new trial. Based on the totality of the evidence currently available, the office has concluded that it is insufficient to support a retrial of this case."
Guevara's name has surfaced in dozens of bids for new trials by defendants who claimed that the veteran investigator bullied witnesses or elicited false confessions.
Guevara, who retired in 2014 after more than 30 years with the police department, recently refused to testify about his work in several cases, asserting his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination.
The city of Chicago spent nearly $2 million to have former U.S. Attorney Scott Lassar review some 70 cases handled by Guevara, and last year received a report that a "handful" of convictions— including Almodovar's— were likely bogus.
Foxx earlier this year announced that her office would review an undisclosed number of Guevara cases.

Sub-Zero and Wolf Announce 2015-2016 Kitchen Design Contest
August 26, 2016
Sub-Zero and Wolf have announced the return of the Kitchen Design Contest, recognizing design professionals throughout the world for their stunning, innovative kitchen designs.
"The contest is designed to have a significant and lasting impact on participants beyond award recognition and prizes," said Jim Bakke, president and CEO of Sub-Zero Group, Inc. "It's a great opportunity for contestants to network with like-minded professionals to exchange ideas, find inspiration for their future projects and ultimately elevate their career." For previous winners, the Kitchen Design Contest has served as a platform for building their network and bringing in additional business.
Contest entries are evaluated by a panel of seven judges, such as leaders in the industry from disciplines including architecture, interior design and kitchen design, who demonstrate a passion for good design and a dedication to the design community. All are previous Kitchen Design Contest winners. This year, the panel includes four returning Kitchen Design Contest judges:
· E.J. Meade of Arch 11, Inc., (Boulder, CO)
· Vasi Ypsilantis of The Breakfast Room, Ltd., (Manhasset, NY)
· Friedemann Weinhardt of Design First Interiors, (Ottawa, Ontario)
· Cristina Menezes of Arquitetura e Decoração LTDA, (Brazil)
And three newcomers join the judging panel:
· Davy Swanenberg of Culimaat High End Kitchens, (Netherlands)
· Sandra Agurto of Cabinetry Creations, Inc., (Orlando, FL)
· Stacy Eisenmann of Eisenmann Architecture, (Albany, CA)
The judges will review each kitchen and select the top entries from around the world in Spring 2017. Twenty-five finalists will receive a trip for two to the Winners' Summit & Gala, to be held in Fall 2017, where the global contest winners will be announced. The exclusive Summit & Gala location will be revealed later this fall.
Sub-Zero and Wolf will award cash prizes for first and second place in each of the contemporary, transitional and traditional design categories, and will also award one best first-time entry, student entry and – new this year – the small spaces kitchen and outdoor kitchen categories.
The Kitchen Design Contest will accept entries through January 31, 2017. Free and simple to enter, the contest is accessible online at www.subzero-wolf.com/contest. Submitting each entry typically takes 30 minutes or less. Eligibility for the contest requires that all design and construction be fully completed within the contest period of January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2016. Indoor kitchen designs eligible for the contest must include at least one full-size built-in or integrated Sub-Zero refrigeration unit and at least one Wolf primary cooking appliance, including ranges, rangetops, ovens and cooktops. Outdoor kitchen designs must include at least one Wolf grill in addition to one Sub-Zero refrigeration unit. Both indoor and outdoor designs require submission of a floor plan and elevation or perspective drawings and a minimum of three color photographs of the completed design.
Since its inception in 1993, the Sub-Zero and Wolf Kitchen Design Contest has become a coveted win in the professional home design category. The Kitchen Design Contest recognizes kitchen designers, architects, interior designers, builders and remodelers for advancing outstanding kitchen design.

UK's King's Cross station gets the royal seal of approval
- Published by Vedat
The redeveloped King's Cross station has been given the royal seal of approval after a tour of the restored train shed and new western concourse by the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall.
The heir to the throne and his wife travelled by tube from Farringdon to King's Cross station, part of the commemorations of London Underground's 150th anniversary – and to celebrate the role of engineering and infrastructure in the UK.
While security was the prime consideration, the station had to keep operating as normal during the visit.
The royal party were accompanied around King's Cross by Robin Gisby, our managing director, network operations, and John McAslan, architect of the western concourse, which opened in March 2012 as part of our plans to expand capacity and upgrade station facilities.
Royal connection
They also visited King's Cross Square construction site along the station's southern frontage, which is due to open this autumn. Once complete, the new square will reveal the historic station's original Lewis Cubitt façade for the first time in a century. Cubitt is the Duchess of Cornwall's great, great, great uncle.
A major improvement programme
Earlier, the Prince and Duchess visited both the historic Farringdon tube station we've recently refurbished, and the Crossrail construction site at Farringdon station. They met some of the apprentices involved with the project, and heard how the station will become a major hub, linking Crossrail and Thameslink, along with London Underground, National Rail, Docklands Light Railway and the London Overground lines."It was a real honour to have the Prince and Duchess visit King's Cross and Farringdon stations, and to talk to them about why we're carrying out these works. We're in the middle of the biggest capacity improvement programme since Victorian times, and these projects are proof of our commitment." said Robin Gisby, managing director, network operations, Network Rail.

beachbum25 (81) Powellville, Maryland | May 4, 2017
New place in West Ocean City, opened this past June. 24 taps & only 1 swill! Rest are rotating micro's! Nice selection, EVO, DFH, Southern Tier, Sierra Nevada, Ommegang, had about all you can get in this area. 8 flat screens f/sports, good size bar, & decent pub grub. Haven't had the pizza yet, but it looked/smelled good. Place looks like it's off to a good start, they plan to expand in the spring w/an upstairs area including a rooftop, outdoor deck! Good to see another beer destination in OC! *** Updated 5/17*** Bumped up to 54 Taps a couple years ago, may have the best beer selection in Ocean City! Plenty of Flat Screens, Good Pizza, Cool Rooftop Tiki Bar, & KILLER Meatballs!!!
BeerandBlues2 (1056) Escondido, California | December 29, 2014
A large pizza joint/sports bar with a pretty good beer list. They offered an 'all you can eat' pizza and wings special but our server seemed to have a hard time remembering that we had ordered, though she was fairly friendly. Their service is going to have to be better than this during tourist season or they'll be closed soon, which is too bad because they may have the best beer selection in town.
Travlr (3055) Charlotte , North Carolina | December 29, 2014
This looked like THE neighborhood pizzeria, in a sea of pizzerias. We visited on a winter Sunday when the football fans were the dominant group and at least four different games were shown on the TVs scattered everywhere. The all-you-can-eat wings and pizza for ten bucks seemed like a good deal until we discovered we only got two rounds of pizza in two hours, and server forgot our second round of wings. The pizza was OK, though. Beer list was large and pretty decent; flights of five are available, although the server didn't know it because apparently no one ever ordered flights. We did, of course, and it turned out fine. Like several other places we visited, though, we were left wondering how places like this handle summer crowds if the service is this slow in the winter? I hope I never find out.
GenDV138 (386) Falls Church, Virginia | December 29, 2014
Pizza restaurant/sports bar with a good selection of craft beer on draft. Flights available in sets of 5 taster glasses. Mostly sports fans and macro drinkers here. They had an all you can eat cheese pizza and wings special for $10 when we went on Sunday. The catch is you only get two slices per person at a time and the wings are made after the pizza comes out. Add slow and forgetful service and it was not as great a deal as it sounded, at least from this experience. Pizza was fine but nothing to write home about, wings were pretty good though. Friendly waitstaff but not too knowledgeable on the beer. An okay stop service issues aside.

Hunger is rooted in a lack of income.
Imagine a single mother with one child who works full time for $8.00/hour, a little more than minimum wage. She makes about $1,386 per month – for food, rent, clothes, child care, and medical care. Not enough, right? But at just ABOVE the federal poverty level, she makes too much to qualify for Food Assistance.
Ultimately, the root of hunger lies in poverty. People are hungry when they lack the income to purchase enough food for a healthy and active life. Each day there are thousands of people in our community who wake up hungry and have no means to satisfy this basic human need. Some have lost their jobs. Some hold two jobs. The challenges of daily survival for these individuals and their families are daunting and don't simply disappear.
Explains NC Policy Watch, "High rates of food hardship and economic insecurity persist due to an economic recovery that is marked by too few jobs, a boom in low-wage work, and income growth that is bypassing the average family and going to the top earners."
Overall Poverty in the Greater Triangle1
- Wake- 11.6% (105,629)
- Durham- 19.5% (51,591)
- Orange – 17% (21,447)
- Chatham – 11.3% (7.182)
- Johnston- 15.3% (26,116)
- Nash- 19.7% (18,491)
- Edgecombe -25.6% (14,019)
- Total in our seven county area = 244,475
What is the Federal Poverty Level?
- For a family of four, making under $23,550 a year
- For a single person, making under $11,490 a year
North Carolina unemployment rate ranks among the highest in the nation.

Damage, damage everywhere!
With this build you will have alot of mana regeneration right from the start.
This allows you to play extremely aggressive with your Q. Focus on harassing until you start getting big damage.
Once you get your Tear it is nearly impossible to go OOM unless you abuse your Q when it's not needed. Always place shrooms as soon as you can and try to place them on spots where enemies often pass (duh).
If done right, in mid-late game there should be mushrooms everywhere, which deal tons of damage.
Remember that this build gives enough CDR to make the ultimate cooldown only 16.2 seconds, so you'll be placing a ton of these shrooms.
