"Very happy to find MBT's at Footwear etc after not being able to find them for a while. The selection of styles was great...both conventional and sporting. The purchase was easy and 3 day shipping got my new shoes fast! The prices of the special deals were less than half of most of the other sites I saw. I got a total of 3 pairs of MBT's on two orders for a little more than 1 would have cost elsewhere. Now quality and comfort are within my budget and I don't have to settle for shoes that are "just OK"."

Champ Bailey's Agent Blames Release On Playing Hurt
A full decade after the Broncos traded running back Clinton Portis for cornerback Champ Bailey, the Broncos have released him. Bailey?s agent thinks that, if Bailey hadn?t been such a team player in 2013, he?d still be on the team.
?Champ is appreciative of the 10 years he had there,? agent Jack Reale told Mike Klis of the Denver Post. ?It?s unfortunate frankly that he tried to play hurt this year. Because most people with that injury would wind up on IR."

Waffle House robbed at gunpoint
At approximately 1 a.m. Thursday morning three armed men robbed the Waffle House off of I-10 in north Crowley making off with a small amount of cash before escaping to a wooded area north of the restaurant.
"We are currently investigating the case and looking for any physical evidence that may have been left behind," said Crowley Chief of Police K.P. Gibson.
The men are described as black males who were wearing hoodies with bandanas covering their faces. According to an anonymous source they robbed the restaurant of $300 before fleeing. Nobody was injured during the robbery, however, some of the employees were shaken up after the incident.
"Some of us are worried about returning to work," said the source.
Anyone with any information regarding the crime is encouraged to contact the Crowley Police Department at (337) 788-8700

For the past 75 years, the U.S. has lost to Mexico in the country south of the border. No more.
Apparently, the 25th time's the charm for the Stars and Stripes, as the United States scrapped to a 1-0 victory over Mexico at the Azteca.
The victory is easily the biggest moment in the Jurgen Klinsmann era thus far and one of the biggest in the history of the national team.
For Mexico, the loss ends a nice run that had seen the team building massive momentum.
So how did the result come to be, and how will it affect these two nations in the future?
Here are the five things we learned from the friendly between the USA and Mexico.

The clip a-serious-gambler from Casino (1995) with Joe Pesci, Robert De Niro. Powered by: Anyclip. any moment from any film. They worked out a real cute job title too... Tangiers Public Relations Director. But the only thing he ever directed was the casino. He made his first bet when he was 15 years old, and he always made money. But he didn't bet like you or me. You know, havin' some fun with it, shit like that. Where the hell did you learn how to deal? He bet like a fuckin' brain surgeon. Place the checks properly. That's the way you do it. Yes, sir. He had to know everything, this guy. He'd find out the kind of inside stuff nobody else knew... and that's what he'd put his money on. Even back home, years ago... when we were first hangin' out... he'd know if the quarterback was on coke... I'll take Columbia for 20. if his girlfriend was knocked up. Twenty dimes on Columbia. He'd get the wind velocity so he could judge the field goals. He even figured out the different bounce... you got off the different kinds of wood they used... on college basketball courts, you know? He'd be workin' on this shit day and night. There was nothing about a game he was gonna bet that he didn't know. Ace got down at six. Get me down at six. Season after season... the prick was the only guaranteed winner I ever knew. But he was so serious about it all... that I don't think he ever enjoyed himself. But that's just the way he was.

I think possibility of happening is rather slim. Allthough it might be fun to see original in new shape I think it would be better to use those resources to new projects.
Not trying to be jerk or anything but I think Zelda II is just Zelda II only nintendo made Zelda game without "The Legend of" part. =)
Edit: On second thought I simply love A Link to the Past so much and have played it trough many times over from many years back so somewhere in depths of my strange and twisted mind I would never want to see remake of it. Bit like I would not like to see someone remodel my own face with heavy blunt object.

Definitely believe that that you stated. Your favourite justification appeared to be at the web the simplest factor to understand of. I say to you, I definitely get irked whilst other folks consider worries that they just don't recognise about. You managed to hit the nail upon the highest and also outlined out the whole thing without having side effect , other folks could take a signal. Will probably be again to get more. Thank you

Alec Baldwin Angry Tweets Called Homophobic
Alec Baldwin apologizes for twitter rant but is it fair he dodges the backlash?
Alec Baldwin apologizes for twitter rant but is it fair he dodges the backlash?
Julie: We all need to elect our first female president, Hillary Clinton. Doing so will keep our country safe, bring jobs, and tax the billionaires like Trump who has avoided paying them forever. Trump is a dangerous demagogue, pathological liar, who would transform this country into a country like Russia under Putin, taking away civil rights and giving all the benefits to the super rich. We will loose our democracy if Trump were to be elected. He has cheated himself on his wives, discriminated against minorities, women and slandered anyone he can talk over. He would be a disaster both at home and abroad and profit only for himself, never pay his taxes. He accomplishes his goals by instilling fear and labels people who have certain religions. Sounds like a dictator.

"DesiLoop", pronounced "They See" loop, was created by SSK in 2011. She is originally from India and likes to call herself "A Student of Life". She is a self-taught knit and crochet designer who is constantly on the lookout for new techniques, ideas, and inspirations. She has been creating stuff for as long as she can remember. Her designs have also been featured in newsstand and online magazines like Knitty, Tangled, YarnForward, & Inside Crochet. Off late she is growing more and more obsessed with seamless projects and doesn't need an excuse to start one.
SSK also loves sewing, embroidery and all things fabric. She is now working on drafting her perfect fit basic patterns so that she can design all kinds of garments to sew.
Swoop is one of those designs that kept playing in my head and I just had to realize it. My first try at the idea was with different stitches but it did not work out as intended. I did like the body pattern but the border did not work. This version is my second try and it seems perfect. The body is made lengthwise and later a border is added in the usual widthwise direction. The stitches are very easy and I am sure this shawlette would be a go-to piece in everyone(tm)s closet. The choice of yarn can make a lot of difference in transforming this shawlette from simple to posh.
Sizes available:
Before (after) blocking

Wingspan: 47(69)

DNA microarrays were the first biological chips (also referred to as arrays) and offered scientists their first high-throughput tool for studying gene function. The first microarrays to come into widespread use were the spotted arrays developed by Patrick Brown in the mid-1990s at Stanford University. Affymetrix's GeneChips, the first commercial arrays, were released in 1996.
Both types of arrays measure gene expression. The array contains a set of probes, either full-length genes or short oligonucleotides, that interrogate the genes in the test sample. If a gene is present on both the array and the sample, a signal results. The intensity of the bound signal reflects the level at which a gene is being expressed. Arrays are usually made from glass or plastic and are typically about 1.5 centimeters square. The densest arrays can contain probes for tens of thousands of genes.
Affymetrix uses a process akin to microscopic photolithography (used in semiconductor manufacturing) to synthesize its probes. Nucleotides are added to each probe one by one through a precise series of stencil-like masks. For spotted arrays, whether manufactured or homemade, the genes are applied by direct printing, and now also through an inkjet-like spraying process.
Affymetrix's semiconductor-like process, the rapid popularity of its arrays, and its GeneChip brand led to a growing use of the term "chip" to refer to arrays.
Other types of arrays can also be used to measure single nucleotide polymorphisms, which are single base-pair variations, and which reflect the measure of genetic difference between individuals. Protein arrays are also coming into use, as well as new "high content" arrays that provide gene function details beyond the level of gene expression.

Adam & Eve And Ultimate Pictures Present I'Ll Do Anything … And Anything Is Everything!
Adam & Eve and Ultimate Pictures are pleased to release their latest joint movie-making project, I'll Do Anything. It's the tale of three beautiful women who want nothing more than to hold on to their husbands. They discover that all it takes is a little anal, a four-way and a few facials to save the day! Steven St. Croix is a doctor whose wife (Karina) suspects he may be looking for a younger woman. While in bed one night, his wife's nightmare keeps him awake – she dreams of Steven slipping his slick willy to his client's welcoming watering hole. When Karina tells the story to her friend, she's told she should relax – after all, it was a dream. That's when Karina leaves and Evan Stone arrives to roto-tittilate a healthy harvest of poon from the soothsaying friend. Also starring Alicia Rhodes, Cytherea, Cheyne Collins, Lezley Zen, Dru Berrymore, Temptation, Lee Stone and more, I'll Do Anything is a realistic tale of a couple's ups and goings down. When a relationship hangs in the balance, you too will say, "I'll Do Anything," to save it! For more information, contact: • Craig Ledford, 919-644-8100 X 3262, email@example.com

Linda O'Sullivan from the Institute of Art Design and Technology (IADT) in Dublin delivered a really engaging and practical workshop to staff and students on the use of digital story-telling and its use in research and teaching. Linda has worked as a development executive, writer and script editor in children's broadcast media for over ten years with broadcasters including RTE, BBC and Disney Channel, and subsequently using digital media to enable children with reading difficulties through the Reading Bridges project. Since joining IADT, she has managed research projects funded by UNESCO, Irish Aid and ERAMUS+. She manages the FÍS (Film in Schools) and School in a Box programmes, supporting and developing digital skills of communities of practice working with children, young people, marginalised communities and disability in Ireland, Europe, Asia and Africa.
Professor Laura Lundy was a keynote speaker at the Equity Through Education Symposium organised by the Institute of Education, Massey University on 17 February 2016. The symposium focused on identifying challenges and solutions for achieving equity through education, and on identifying a future research and advocacy platform in New Zealand that will address these important challenges. Laura's address focused on the ways in which equity is defined and delivered through the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child on issues such as school admissions, discipline and curriculum. Professor John Smyth from the Australian Federation of Universities, well known for his seminal work on student voice and marginalised students, was also a keynote speaker.
The symposium included presentations and roundtable conversations with practitioners and researchers from centres and schools, The Ministry of Education, NGOs and private providers about topics like culture, families, health, poverty, and ability and disability. A new research initiative on Equity through Education was launched and Laura has been invited to be on its international advisory board. Interested individuals are invited to join this initiative. Further details, including how to apply to be a member are available on its website: http://www.equitythrougheducation.nz/
1-3 June 2016
The Centre for Children's Rights at Queen's University Belfast is hosting a Summer School on children's rights-based participation.

Civil and political rights – questionnaire for children
The Centre for Children's Rights and Save the Children are asking children aged between 12 and 17 what they think about their role in bringing about change on issues that they feel strongly about. The issue doesn't matter – it might be not having enough equipment in school or wanting to end child marriage. What are children's views on how they interact with decision-makers, such as government officials or school leaders? Can they say what they think freely? Can they meet and organise in groups? Are they listened to?
The questionnaire is part of a research project looking at how children are enabled (or not) to exercise their civil and political rights. Do you know a group of children who'd like to fill in the questionnaire?
It can be accessed directly by children and completed anonymously. It takes about 15 minutes.
Please complete at this survey link.
For more information, please contact Dr Karen Orr – email@example.com - or Dr Lucy Royal-Dawson – email@example.com.
Stefania Giannakaki gave a seminar at the Institute of Arts, University of Uberlândia (Brazil) on 17 June, where she discussed with local students, school teachers, and academics, the participation of children as co-researchers in the study 'Teachers' Educational Beliefs and Children's Voice Practices in the Island of Ireland'. The study is funded by the Centre for Cross Border Studies and Stefania is the principal investigator. The study is being conducted in collaboration with Trinity College Dublin and Stefania's visit to Brazil was funded by Santander Universities UK.
The MSc in Children's Rights is now in its third year and the School of Education (with the Improving Children's Lives initiative) is offering a bursary of £1500 to one student taking up a place on the course in the academic year 2016/17. For more information, eligibility and criteria visit the School's Scholarships page.
Closing date for studentship applications: Friday 29 July 2016 (4pm)
The Centre for Children's Rights at Queen's University Belfast and Plan International are looking for meaningful and workable examples of child-participatory budgeting processes at national, sub-national, municipal and local levels. We are seeking contacts for some research on these initiatives and would be grateful if those who have good examples contact Chelsea Marshall (email@example.com) or complete the questionnaire below in the relevant language.
This research project seeks to identify the existence, perceived effectiveness and enabling factors of child-participatory budgeting initiatives at national, sub-national, municipal and local levels. We will be conducting a scoping study via an online questionnaire for anyone who has experience of child-participatory budgeting initiatives to share learning. The project will also include a small number of in-depth case studies of initiatives that worked particularly well or provide a particularly useful model for replication and adaptation elsewhere. The study will include initiatives in which children and young people were involved in any stage of the budgeting process (e.g. allocation, expenditure, monitoring and review) at any level of governance (e.g. national/regional youth parliaments, local councils and public institutions, such as schools, etc). While the focus will be on initiatives related to public spending, the study may include strong examples of child participation in non-state budgetary processes.
While there is growing attention to the importance of involving children and young people in budgetary decision-making, little research has explored how this is done effectively and what enabling factors support this work. This study aligns with the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child's development of a General Comment on Public Spending and will support its implementation by highlighting lessons from initiatives around the world.
Please feel free to contact me, Chelsea Marshall (firstname.lastname@example.com or tel: 9097 5939), with any questions.

Summer may be beginning, but football season is just three months away.
The Kansas Jayhawks learned, Tuesday that their season opener against South Dakota on September 7, will kickoff at 6:00 p.m. The game will be televised on the Jayhawk IMG Television Network within the State of Kansas.
Last year's season opener against South Dakota State was also broadcasted on the Jayhawk Network, which routinely broadcast Jayhawk basketball games not picked up by either conference or National network.
The game will mark the first meeting ever between Kansas and South Dakota and will be the first of two games, in which game times and television are known.
The following week, Kansas travels to Houston to take on Rice. That game will kick off at 6:30 and will be broadcast by CBS Sports Network.
As of now, no further game times or TV are known.

The Departed
Frissiras Museum, presents, at the building of Monis Asteriou 3 str in Plaka, an exhibition tribute to the Departed. Twenty-nine (29) artists from the Frissiras museum's collections, who are no longer alive, waive the absence of their physical presence through their works, whiles simultaneously introduce themselves to a younger audience. By reconstructing the creative schemes of their social, political, ideological, personal and artistic pursuits, these Departed show us that even in front of the finality of death there is an exception, that of the artworks; their own immortally pursued through a path in time, retracing memories and forging a legacy for the descendants, serving as evidence of a presence which did not go unnoticed. Participating artists: Cremonini Leonardo, Dado, Golub Leon, Hay Susan, Hortala Philippe, Kitaj R.B., Perrot Philippe, Rustin Jean, Vermeersch Jose, Vyzantios Konstantinos, Gavrilos Giorgos, Gravalos Panayiotis, Gkitziris Kostas, Golfinos Giorgos, Diamantopoulos Diamantis, Ioannou Stavros, Kapralos Christos, Katraki Vasso, Kessanlis Nikos, Lachas Kostas, Lappas Giorgos, Mastichiadis Fotis, Paniaras Kostas, Romanou Chryssa, Skoulakis Demosthenis, Fidakis Panos, Chouliaras Nikos, Christoforou John, Boekel Van Henk.
3rd Frissiras Museum Award for Contemporary European Painting
The qualifying candidates for the 3rd Prize for Contemporary European Painting will be announced by the end of 2016
