Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 78 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by happystep this product is most comfortable When I first saw them in the store they reminded me of a very comfy mattress pad. When I tried them on, they did not disappoint as they felt just like a comfy mattress pad only for your feet. They had great body as well. Definitely not your typical flip flop. Wear them every chance I get. My only disappointment was that there was a special of buy one and get the 2nd for 50 % off. There was not another pair in my size. September 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by shelfy63 I love these flops! These flip flops are like walking on a cushion. They are so comfortable I can wear them all day! My feet don't hurt, my back doesn't hurt and they're water proof. I have 2 pair. One in black and one in brown. Perfect beach shoes too! September 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jim For my wife She loves the flip flops. She says they are very comfortable August 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jo Great flip-flops My kids recommended these to me so I'd finally have comfortable flip flops and I'm pleased they did. Very comfortable! I had a nice coupon to go with them so all is good. Store personnel were also very helpful. August 13, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Jamie Very Comfortable The sandals are extremely comfortable, but I only wore them For 1 week and they started peeling down where the center of my foot is. I may have gotten them wet from rain, or even just everyday sweat. I don't think a $35 sandal should do that so shortly after purchase. Very dissappointed!! August 9, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by BARB H COMFORTABLE they are pleasantly comfortable to wear all day long.I have neuropathy and suffer with pain in my feet, I have never before until recently purchased a pair of flip flops due to in between my toes seemed bothered by the band that holds them on. My neuropathy has now made my toes unable to feel the band. I have been wearing them alternatively with another pair all day and all week long. I hope they hold up. August 5, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Becca So comfortable! These are great flops! The only issue is when they get wet. They become problematic. It didn't keep me from buying another pair. I love them. August 5, 2014

HAMMOND, WI (WTAQ) - There's the "Running of the Bulls" in Spain – and then there's the "Running of the Llamas" in Hammond, Wisconsin.
Llamas and their handlers will run in a race on Saturday afternoon on Davis Street in downtown Hammond, about 10 miles east of the Wisconsin-Minnesota border near Hudson.
Four heats are planned for llamas, and one for alpacas.
According to the event's Web site, it started in 1997 as a customer appreciation event for the Hammond Hotel – and it did not start out as a race.
That came later, along with other events that now include a parade, a community band concert, a rib fest, and live music.

SIOUX FALLS, SD (KWSN) – In preparation for Thursday's season opener that launches their 21st season, the Sioux Falls Canaries set their roster on Tuesday to 22 active players.
The Canaries 2013 roster features a handful of familiar faces and 15 players brand new to Sioux Falls. Veteran pitcherBen Moore returns for his fifth season in Sioux Falls along with pitchers Mitchell Clegg, Alan DeRatt, Kyle Ruweand Jack Van Leur. Infielders Cory Morales and Jake Taylor are also back for a second campaign.
Moore has been tabbed as the Opening Night starter when the Canaries face Sioux City on Thursday, May 16. With one more victory, the highly decorated hurler will be alone atop the list of most career wins in the American Association. He is currently tied with former St. Paul Saints pitcher Charlie Ruud with 39 victories. Moore already owns the league records for career strikeouts with 477, but he has his eyes set on the Canaries team record, 519 set by Rich Hyde.
Local talent is part of the Canaries roster as well. Van Leur is a former Brandon Valley High School star returning for his second season as a lefty specialist in the Birds' bullpen. Former Augustana College standout Nate Baumann will patrol the Canaries outfield. Baumann is in his second professional season after establishing several offensive records at Augustana College.
Many of the new additions to the roster bring impressive resumes. Veteran infielder John Alonso is a past league all-star and won a championship in 2011. Slugger Jared Clark is a two-time Organization Player of the Year with Colorado. Outfielder J.P. Ramirez earned the same honors with the Washington Nationals. Outfielder Nick Van Stratten, slated to hit leadoff, is a former Player of the Year in the Kansas City Royals system. Pitchers Kirk Clark,Matt Daly and Jordan Whatcott have all been league all-stars.
The Canaries roster may carry 23 active players through the 10th day of the season, at which time the roster may have a maximum 22 players.
Tuesday was Canaries media day and Craig and Chris talked with returning ace Ben Moore, along with newcomers Tim Pahuta and John Alonzo.
After Thursday's season opener in Sioux City, the Canaries open their home season at 7:05 p.m. on Friday, May 17, when they host the Sioux City Explorers for three straight games. Friday night features a First Premier Bank Magnetic Schedule Giveaway and a postgame fireworks show.
More information about tickets and group outings is available by calling (605) 336-6060 or visiting www.sfcanaries.com.

Real World Externships is a program for teachers to get the experience they need to show students how science, technology and math fit into real-world jobs. For five years, the Real World Externships Program has matched science, technology and math teachers with Iowa businesses for six weeks during the summer, allowing teachers to work side-by-side with their business world counterparts to see how school subjects are used in the workplace.
This is another great way to enhance the competitiveness of Iowa in a global economy, which is increasingly dependent upon science, technology and math talent. To learn more or to apply to for an externship, go to http://iowastem.gov/imsep/educators/externships.

Dermabrasion Vs Chemical Peels For Scars
Posted 24 November 2012 - 07:22 PM
From my understanding, they both remove layers of skin, manually or chemically.
So, if I had either one or the other done, couldn't it improve/remove a surface scar/shallow scar, that isn't tethered down? I should probably consult a dermatologist or something, my scars are shallow, and I get how frustrating it is for those with deeper or more severe scarring, but neither is really better if it bothers you, or is in a weird place. In fact, I have scars from my face from being attacked by a cat when I was little >.>
They don't bother me at all. What bothers me are the scars that are there because of my stupidity/ lack of patience/knowledge. And I feel they can be easily treated or improved or possibly removed to the point they don't bother me anymore.
Anyone have any input on this?
I mean, if you're to remove scar tissue in the layers, new skin could grow in place?
Thanks again.
Posted 24 November 2012 - 07:37 PM
I should probably consult a dermatologist or something.
Yes, you should. They will be able to tell you what options you have and will help you decide on a course of action. I think it's a really wise idea!

Ugh. I feel like if I had never had picked this damn zit, I wouldn't have out myself through all this mental/emotional hell I've been going through since I've gotten it. I feel hopeless, and I come here looking for some sort of sense of hope until I can see a professional .-.
Posted 25 November 2012 - 02:16 AM
So your doctor didn't refer you, not the end of the world. Are you going to wait until she does or take action? If you need a referral then schedule a doctor's appointment asap and go from there. If you really want the appointment with a dermatologist you need to make it clear to your doctor and do not let them talk you out of it.
Then, tell the dermatologist about how your scar(s) are making you feel and ask for their advice, stick to a treatment plan and be prepared to follow them through.
I have been fighting acne scarring for 5 years now. That's 5 full years of non-stop treatment and I am only just now beginning to see the results I've craved for so long. I did not give up, I kept my head up, kept smiling, kept seeking the positive things in life and it is paying off.
Tell yourself this: What's done is done. Don't mull over the past. Put that all aside and look to the future.

It's always been my understanding that dermabrasion, not to be confused with microdermabrasion, is one of the most effective treatments for certain types of scars. However, it is also extremely risky, and should only be done by a doctor highly skilled with the procedure. In today's times with such powerful lasers on the market, less doctors are performing the procedure.
I have also done 5 microdermabrasion treatments. I pre-paid for 10. In terms of scar improvement, it was a complete waste of money.
As others have suggested, you really should get the opinion of a few doctors specialized in scar treatment. Don't take unnecessary risks and stay realistic. Improving scars takes time, and some treatments that work for others may not work for you.

I was trying to treat ice pick and boxcar scars. If you look at my gallery, I have before/after photos up. At this part of my scar treatment journey, my scars are pretty much all shallow boxcar scars. I have only seen improvement from fractional co2 laser. My scars have improved significantly in some areas. Based on your description, it sounds like you have shallow boxcar scars. Then again, you said they're not tethered down. If that's the case, then you've likely suffered tissue loss which can be temporarily improved with a filler. Considering you're young and the scar that really concerns you is only 7 months old, it's possible some of that tissue will return as collagen rebuilds. When I was younger, some of my scars did vanish after 6-12 months. It's really hard to say what will happen with your scar, so that's why you should see a doctor and also give it time. While waiting for your scar to mature, you could always try a temporary filler (assuming it's appropriate for your scar). Have you considered that?
Well, it was a zit I popped, it never bled or scabbed over. I kept it covered in honey. It peeled, the skin, and now I'm left with this ring. It's the edges, but its not tethered down. I don't even think its indented enough to use a filler. It's level with the other skin, from my inspection.
** And if it was tissue loss, it did come back. It's filled in, but the edges .-.

Our son is so happy at King's School! This place is like a big family where all are treated with love and respect. Students are challenged at their academic level. There is a strong focus on discipleship, and the students go out into the community one day each month to do service projects. There is a high level of parent involvement, and we have met many wonderful Christian families.
As an alumna, I know The King's School greatly helped me in my studies and I am extremely glad I attended this school. I was able to play basketball, soccer, be in the choir and lead worship for school chapels. If you are praying about sending your child to a Christian school, defintely check this school out. The staff and principal, Mr. Kirch, are extremely helpful and will be more than willing to answer any questions you may have. I also encourage you to think about sending your son or daughter to visit the school for a day. I did when I was in 6th grade and found it to be very beneficial. The King's School is a great place to be and to grow in the Lord. Check it out!

"These are great. We used a photo that had a lot of navy blue in it, which complements the color of the card. We put our family on it instead of just a couple. The paper and printing, as always, are great quality. We feel very comfortable sending these out as thank you notes for our daughter's christening gifts."
"Heavy, smooth paper, beautiful creamy, soft envelopes. We used a pic with lower resolution and the quality was still wonderful. Highly recommend."
"LOVED these cards! I ordered them for our wedding thank you notes and they came out great. A little pricey in the end, but worth every penny! I thought the little dots were going to be some sort of reflective material (foil like)'based on the description. They weren't reflective, but the card looks wonderful Highly Recommend!!"
"I had been looking for funeral thank you notes were I could have my own personal message printed on the inside. . . these were perfect. With the photo, name and date added to the cover, they also served as a keepsake for all that attended, and I received many compliments on them!"
"This card was perfect for me. Simple and elegant. Very casual but the card and print was very well made thick and colors were great. I would recommend tiny prints to anyone staff is friendly and helpful. This is now my go to place for all cards and invitations!"

HDInsight and Big Data
HDInsight and Big Data
Catalysis supported the launch of HDInsight and Big Data, as part of the broader Windows Azure service offering. We provided design, copywriting and project management support to deliver four pieces of launch related content – two datasheets, a solution brief, and a customer-facing presentation.
Power BI
Power BI
In support of the Microsoft launch of Power BI with Office 365, Catalysis built a registration iFrame that captured data for individuals who were interested in receiving notification of when Power BI with Office 365 would be available. We created a triggered email communication that sent immediately after a user registered to thank them for signing up. We then designed and built a communication that was sent out to batches of customers. This included an individualized registration code that registrants could use to sign-up for the Power BI preview.
Windows 8 Previews
Windows 8 Previews
In support of Microsoft's release of the Windows 8 Consumer Preview, Catalysis developed an international, dynamically-generated iFrame registration page that lived within the Windows Online parent page. The registration page, which was rendered in 35 languages and mapped to 190 total markets, needed to support up to 1,500 concurrent users with a maximum load time of 1.5 seconds.
Due to projected high traffic and performance requirements, the iFrame was hosted on Windows Azure, primarily because of its availability and scalability. The personally identifiable information (PII) captured through the iFrame was encrypted on Windows Azure and then securely transferred and stored on a Catalysis-hosted database.
In addition to the iFrame registration experience, Catalysis delivered a triggered email send in 35 languages via the ExactTarget platform that welcomed users when they registered to receive Windows 8 communications.
Since launching the campaign in February 2012, Catalysis' service has captured over two million unique registrations.
Visual Studio Online
Visual Studio Online
Catalysis worked with the Visual Studio Online team to help manage an integrated campaign to increase visibility, registrations, and user engagement.
In support of this effort, we created a custom Facebook application to manage a Microsoft Visual Studio Online sweepstakes, with a mobile-optimized version for phones and tablets. Emails were used to generate registration demand.
Catalysis also assisted in design, copy creation, and targeted placement of banner ads to help drive new users to a series of webinars for Visual Studio Online.
GFO Annual Letter 2013
GFO Annual Letter 2013
Catalysis worked with a variety of internal communications stakeholders and in partnership with bgc3 to concept, design, and deliver the Web and integrated Email versions of the 2013 Annual Letter. In addition to doing the visual design and technical development, we provided strategic counsel and support on everything from defining success metrics and gathering support and approval for a very different digital approach than in years past, to the planning of global promotional Email and Social demand generation activities.
GFO Annual Letter 2014
GFO Annual Letter 2014
Catalysis worked in partnership with several agencies to deploy the 2014 Annual Letter. Utilizing our expert level Sitecore knowledge, we were able to turn the conceptual design and template into a working model. Within a tight timeline, Catalysis worked closely with internal stakeholders to ensure that the implementation was both flexible and seamless.
Windows Phone 7
Windows Phone 7
In support of Microsoft's TechEd, Catalysis delivered a simple online experience that enabled Windows Phone 7 demonstrators to capture the personally identifiable information (PII) of consenting participants, conduct surveys on their propensity to purchase, and enter them into random drawings.
Using QR codes to kick off the registration, customers were taken to a registration page that securely collected, transferred, and stored their PII in a Catalysis database. Participants had the opportunity to win a prize each hour and the winners were determined by a tool that Catalysis developed to automatically draw a random winner from the database.
Through ingenuity, focus, and efficiency, Catalysis rapidly designed, developed, and implemented the online service within five production days. Over 1,600 TechEd participants registered and participated in the survey.
To support the digital marketing efforts of Mithun, a Seattle-based architecture firm, Catalysis made significant enhancements to Mithun's ExpressionEngine-based website. We initially engaged with Mithun because their content management system had become out of date, they were having a difficult time updating their website and the site's performance was poor.
To assist the Surface team in creating a brand new relationship marketing program, Catalysis created a Windows Azure-hosted registration experience and email nurture campaign to drive excitement among highly engaged Surface followers and prospective buyers. The registration experience was built as an iFrame and incorporated into the surface.com homepage to provide a seamless user experience. The iFrame was built in Windows Azure and leveraged multiple datacenters to ensure it could easily accommodate the high traffic volumes and fast page load times required for this extremely popular launch. The site was developed to dynamically render in one of 19 languages, mapping to 35 markets, based on pass-through parameters from the surface.com homepage.
Microsoft Student
Microsoft Student
Catalysis was asked to create a portal experience for students that consolidated all of Microsoft's offers and programs in one place, while focusing on a set of goals for the site that included trial, purchase, and participation. Using existing research, and our own data mining, Catalysis developed target audience personas that drove the information architecture and user experience design of the Microsoft.com/student site.
In so doing, we created a parallel relationship management program that connected each student's information across programs and product groups. With the data and programs in one place, Microsoft is able to simplify email communication to each student – resulting in a single, unified voice. In addition, the system enabled cross-company goal alignment without re-architecting legacy programs and offers.
To support the critical mobile browser market that makes up 85% of student views, Catalysis ensured the site translated well across both desktop browsing and mobile devices. Finally, the site and programs were designed to enable worldwide subsidiaries to easily localize, customize, and maintain their own sites and relationship marketing programs without development resources.
Treehouse, a 501(c)(3) organization providing services to foster children receives nearly 90% of its operating budget from donations. In 2012 they were experiencing a significant undeliverable rate on their direct mail sends, resulting in underperforming campaigns and lost donation opportunities. Catalysis offered to help them identify ways to make the most of the donor data they currently had available to ensure maximum return on their direct mail efforts.
We began by auditing Treehouse's data to determine how complete and accurate it was. Our analytics team determined that they had a large number of incorrect addresses in their database and to correct this, worked with a third party vendor to perform a demographic append and address correction. With more accurate data, our analytics team was able to provide an analysis of which donors to focus on to increase contributions and the performance of their campaigns.
As a result, Treehouse sent out 46% more direct mail pieces for their 2012 Holiday Campaign than they did in the previous year and experienced a 14% increase in average donation size. By increasing the send numbers, reducing the non-deliverable rate, and focusing on specific donors, Treehouse realized a 38% increase in donations for their holiday campaign.
Catalysis worked closely with the Winebid.com team to refine an enhanced user experience as they re-launched their online bidding and buying experience. We developed visual concepts and data architecture options to intuitively display useful search filters and logical results, along with user-based order and account administration tools. Catalysis led the Winebid team through several audience-based discovery exercises as we created story boards, drafted instructional copy, and refined imagery before tying it all together within several tutorial videos posted within the re-designed winebid.com web property. The successful launch has received rave reviews as the wine buying audience enjoys the new tools and visually pleasing imagery.
Moss Adams
Moss Adams
After Moss Adams LLP thoroughly redesigned their corporate brand, Catalysis was brought in to translate the refreshed elements into a relevant and useful web experience. We partnered with the internal marketing team to deliver an entirely new web property and internal content management toolset. With such a deep and expansive set of financial services, Moss Adams was an especially tricky project due to alignment of logical navigation structures and content organization challenges that needed to be identified and resolved in real time. The end result is a beautiful and extensible web presence where detailed user data is readily available for maximum conversion and optimization.
Tour MSN
Tour MSN
MSN launched their new homepage design and updated features that deliver a simple, smart organization of the information and people that audiences care about. Catalysis was asked to design and develop a preview experience that would excite and inform existing and potential MSN viewers. Our audience research showed that users would only be interested in the new features if they were driven to a very interactive experience that enabled various paths or users flows through the streamlined, contemporary, yet simple functionality coming within the newly launched MSN Homepage.
The challenges of creating excitement and building awareness were met with a strategic advertising campaign driving massive traffic to a uniquely interactive preview experience. The award-winning MSN Tour experience that Catalysis delivered was a huge success. The tour was built to detect visitor's default media player and deliver the online experience using Silverlight, Flash or HTML for optimal viewing of the interactive animation, videos, and enhanced navigation. This preview experience exceeded expectations as interested visitors viewed the tour over 10 million times during the initial media wave.
Our client, a large 40-year old natural food cooperative, asked Catalysis to help them analyze the transaction data of their members in order to identify ways to enhance the member experience, as well as generate additional revenue to further support their mission.
Using advanced marketing analytics – and some non-traditional academic tools – Catalysis examined the sales data of 6,500 Co-op members to create member segmentation based on the products that were central to the member buying experience. We then were able to make recommendations for product placement to increase the basket size of each segment .
One of the key findings of the analysis was that the largest contributor, by far, to their pre-tax profit was a segment that constitutes only 6% of their membership base. In addition to product placement recommendations for this group, Catalysis found that a loyalty or recognition program would help the Co-op maintain and grow this critical membership base.
Additionally, Catalysis was able to identify key opportunities for moving customers from less profitable segments into more profitable ones.
Implementation of the Catalysis recommendations are projected to increase the Co-op's pre-tax profit by at least 1% each year, providing additional funding for the many programs that support the Co-op's mission of providing natural, organic food to their community.
Office for Mac
Office for Mac
In support of the Microsoft Office for Mac product group, Catalysis developed a product registration and newsletter program for Office for Mac product registrants. This relationship marketing program, the Office for Mac Insider, provides customers with monthly email that include product features, tips, and offers that that are relevant to the product version they registered. Email communications are facilitated through ExactTarget and all registration, reporting, and analytics are conducted by Catalysis, leveraging Catalysis tracking, ExactTarget, and WebTrends data.
Catalysis is helping drive an average of 85,000 new registrants per month from a community not known for their affiliation with Microsoft products. Since launching the campaign in October 2009, the campaign has seen a 718% growth in the registration-base. Additionally, the monthly newsletters are achieving a unique open rate of 42.9%, and unique click to open rate of 14.4%. Catalysis performed analysis of the registration survey data combined with click data to profile the user and inform the content strategy. The campaign serves as the central registration and communication vehicle for all Microsoft for Mac customers including recently extending for iPhone Apps.
Thunder Valley Casino
Thunder Valley Casino
As Thunder Valley Casino worked toward a grand re-opening event to unveil their new Hotel and Spa facilities, they decided to refresh their brand and online presence. Catalysis was asked to collaborate with their advertising agency to architect and build a new web site and web based content management system. We worked closely with TVC marketing members and their advertising agency to deliver the appropriate toolset and corporate aesthetic to enable additional online marketing in an efficient and scalable manner. TVC had special customer privacy requirements surrounding digital game credits and player accounts. Catalysis designed a secure web service for the TVC IT department that effectively satisfied all PCI and HBI data protection requirements.
Banner Mattress
Banner Mattress
As Banner Mattress shifts some of their advertising focus toward the digital space, Catalysis is providing online marketing strategy and delivering new online experiences focused on driving measureable ROI and increased revenue. We started by redesigning their website with a simplified user flow and search engine-friendly data architecture that will enable continuous optimization as we effectively drive online traffic into their retail locations. The eventual conversion rate and overall advertising mix will be constantly monitored and refined as Catalysis helps the Banner Mattress team increase visibility into their advertising budget and related impact to profitability.
Successful promotions and well received marketing campaigns left BabyLegs with more traffic than their aging eCommerce platform could handle.
As Cyber Monday rapidly approached, Catalysis stepped in to find a solution. Our technical solutions team developed and executed an automated test script to quickly pinpoint system issues and uncover corrective actions. Our organized testing allowed us to locate and optimize several problematic database calls and decrease the transaction processing load by 78%.
While we worked to minimize server load and increase overall transaction throughput, we found and solved other issues that reduced the initial load time by 83%.
BabyLegs.com experienced the highest online traffic levels and largest single day revenue in their history without a single transaction failure. This system refinement should allow BabyLegs to grow online sales for the next several years without adding hardware or investing in new software.
Catalysis was asked to deliver a cohesively branded online experience that would span traditional and digital mediums while introducing Bing search and shopping features to Ellen's massive television and social media audience.We designed and developed a dynamic micro site that exposed Ellen's followers to enticing new search features within a comfortable and familiar confluence of brand elements and eased visitors into their initial interaction with Bing. This site's dynamic content successfully captured attention and enabled deeper interaction with Bing via connected Twitter feeds, YouTube video content, and Facebook applications. This successful campaign introduced Bing features to Ellen's 28 million monthly viewers while tracking the 2 million daily visitors through their online search and shopping experience.
Life Without Walls
Life Without Walls
Microsoft's Windows Product Group wanted to create a stronger online experience for the Windows brand and share with the world the possibilities that exist by living "life without walls." Crispin Porter + Bogusky (CP+B), the global agency of record for the Windows brand, created and launched the Real PC campaign under the Windows Life Without Walls brand umbrella on behalf of Microsoft.
As a vendor with the experience and authority to act on Microsoft's behalf, Catalysis was asked by CP+B to manage all registration and communication aspects of the campaign. This included user registration, email communication, user-experience consulting, privacy and online safety reviews, and compliance issues. Catalysis created an online-reporting dashboard that summarized the full suite of impressive campaign metrics.
Seattle Girl Geek Dinner
Seattle Girl Geek Dinner
Catalysis was given the opportunity to host an event for the Seattle Girl Geeks, an organization dedicated to bringing technical women and girls together to network and support the local community of female professionals. As hosts, our goal was to provide a fun and interactive event that would give our 80 guests an opportunity to both network and tour our beautiful workspace. In addition, because this is an organization of tech-savvy women, we wanted to give them a technology-based game that would also serve the purpose of introducing them to the power of advanced marketing analytics.
To those ends, we created a QR code adventure that led our guests through our space and simultaneously gathered profile and behavioral data so we could segment them. Using their smartphones to scan the codes, our guests were given profile questions at each QR station, as well as clues for finding their next QR location. During the game, the results of the profile segmentation exercise were displayed in real-time so everyone could see how the group was being divided into unique segments. Ultimately, to no one's surprise, the majority of our guests were segmented into the "Hardware-Centric Alpha" group.
The event received rave reviews and we realized our goal of providing a fun and interactive way to encourage networking and exploration. A side bonus was that we impressed a bunch of amazing, technical professionals and ended up with a pretty cool, extensible code-base for interactive event marketing.
Bing Earth Day
Bing Earth Day
In an effort to drive new traffic and introduce new features to an expanded audience, Catalysis was asked to design and develop a campaign for Earth Day. The Bing homepage is used by students everywhere as a way to explore and learn about the world, so focusing on education was a natural fit. By encouraging students of all ages to capture Earth Day-related images and share them with the world, Bing's Earth Day Photo Contest was a great opportunity for students to honor Earth Day and spend some time outdoors learning about and photographing their natural environment. Catalysis delivered and administered the contest website, notification emails, and the related toolset required to enable high resolution image upload, hot spot tagging, contest administration, participant voting, and photo gallery presentations. We were able to collaboratively incorporate a valuable donation coupon feature and Bing visual search feed features that resulted in massive viral and social sharing through a multi-faceted campaign that was very well received by students, teachers, and parents alike. Over 80,000 visitors participated or voted within the contest and 22% of those visitors were drawn into the mix by peer to peer sharing.

Students at Bagley Middle School don't have to look very far to find inspiration. Those who came before them in the school's 25-year history are well represented on the school's wall of fame. Doctors, musicians, educators and others are sharing their success stories with today's students.Some of the Bagley alums visit their old school from time to time, while others check in from far away. New stories and photos are added regularly, giving students fresh reading material on their way to and from class.The school's Curriculum and Instruction Facilitator, Toby Westmoreland is constantly looking for ways to convince students that they can overcome obstacles and achieve their dreams, just as many of their predecessors have done. The fact that many of the professionals walked the same halls just a few years ago, proves his point. The school participates in the C2G (Commitment to Graduate) national program. In March 2014, Bagley will celebrate its 25th annniversary with a special reception, and many of the former students are expected to attend.

Open Letter to Jon and Kate
Single parenthood can be daunting -- especially when you willingly live your life in the media glare. We'd love to offer Jon and Kate some advice as they go their separate ways.
Kate's Diabolical Divorce Plan?
Wow -- this is a mess! The Associated Press blasted all over the wires that the Gosselins have been living apart for at least two years -- but they're wrong! Now, TMZ has the real story.
Jon and Kate File for Divorce
The 10-year marriage of Jon and Kate Gosselin is officially kaput.
Your Child Is Not a Paycheck
We've all heard about the "deadbeat dads" who deserve every bit of the bad rap they get, so this week I decided to take a closer look at how child support guidelines are determined, where the flaws are, and whether or not they are fair. Here's what you need to know.

Just a Guy Who Didn't Understand Divorce
There are things in life we expect, and then there are those occasional times when we just get slammed. Early in my divorce was one of those OMG times when my wife had disappeared, the boys and I were trying to figure out what was next, and the lawyers were circling like vultures.

Model Number:
Take on the winter elements in the Nike Thermal Pant, a true cold-weather pant designed to let you run through climates most others would not. Brushed stretch fabric with a runner's fit allow for necessary movement with essential warmth.
Important Shipping Note: U.S. sales only.
Comments: I really like these pants. They are moderately thick and keep me warm during those cold days. I am always the coldest person on the trail, and I can use these with only a pair of compression shorts under them. They fit well, not too loose or too tight and are true to size using Nike's size chart. I agree with the other reviewer who asked for pockets. I don't know why manufacturers think women don't need pockets. From: Shelly, Mechanicsburg, PA, USA
Comments: I love these running pants! I run about 2-3 miles/day a few times a week and go for long walks every day. These pants are very warm, dry and comfortable. I have very sensitive legs (to cold) and skin so I look for non-irritating thermal pants to wear during winter and usually end up layering with long underwear every time it's cold but not with these. I am 5'9" with a 34.5" inseam and usually wear a 12. I ordered the MT and they are a perfect! Not too loose, not too tight. No more cold "bum" or cold ankles because there's plenty of length and the waist comes up high enough to cover all of my back end. The waist sits at my natural waistline (and I'm short waisted) & I don't have to pull them down around my hips for extra length either. The fabric is soft & light weight and has extra insulation in the thighs, hips and bum areas. I am looking forward wearing these when the temp drops to the twenties. The only thing that I wish these pants had were side zipper pockets instead of the tiny one in back (barely fits my iPhone and nothing else). Hey Nike, women need pockets too! We can't run with purses! From: Ela, Northern Nevada

Jets salary-cap update
Fans always seem to be obsessed with cap numbers, so here you go: As of Feb. 28, the Jets had $120.9 million committed to the 2012 cap, according to Pro Football Talk.The NFL hasn't announced the amount of the '12 cap, but it's expected to be about $120 million.
The Jets had $8.39 million in unused cap space from last season, according to PFT, and they're allowed a carryover into 2012. With that extra money, they'd had enough room to draft and be moderately active in free agency.

Three police officers, a firefighter and a Syracuse resident teamed up Thursday to save a boy who had fallen through the ice into a city pond.
On Friday, 11-year-old Noah Holguin was tired but otherwise doing well, his mother told police.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Police received a 911 call around 5 p.m. Thursday concerning the boy, who had broken through the ice and fallen into Jensen Pond, said Garret Atkin, chief of police for Syracuse.
Sgt. Stan Penrod arrived to find the boy struggling in water on the west side of the pond.
Penrod threw a rope to the boy and, when it didn't reach him, he stepped out onto the ice only to fall through into waist-deep water, Atkin said.
A resident joined in the rescue, holding on to Penrod as he again tried to get the rope to the boy. Still, it fell short.
Atkin said an off-duty officer from the Unified Police Authority, Bill Stone, showed up at the pond with a longer rope, which they were able to get to the boy.
Penrod and Stone pulled the boy to shore.
Syracuse officer Lance Call, who also was off duty, arrived along with an off-duty firefigher. Call put a shirt on the boy to help him warm up, Atkin said.
The rescuers moved the boy to the north side of the pond, where arriving Syracuse firefighters treated the boy and transported him to Davis Hospital and Medical Center for evaluation, Atkin said.
"I'm proud of how my officers reacted to the situation," Atkin said. "They put their lives on the line to rescue a small child."
He also thanked the off-duty public safety personnel and the resident who helped out with the rescue.
"We want to take the opportunity to remind people that, with the warmer weather, venturing on ice could be treacherous," Atkin said.

American Masters
Sister Rosetta Tharpe: The Godmother Of Rock & RollSeries Website »
Episode Guide »
During the 1940s, 50s and 60s, Southern-born, Chicago-raised and New York-made Sister Rosetta Tharpe introduced the spiritual passion of her gospel music into the secular world of popular rock 'n roll, inspiring the male icons of the genre. This flamboyant African-American gospel superstar, with her spectacular virtuosity on the newly electrified guitar, was a natural-born performer and a rebel -- one of the most important singer-musicians of the 20th century. She is acknowledged as a major influence not only on generations of black musicians -- including Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Isaac Hayes and Etta James -- but also on white stars such as Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash.

EDGINGTON -- Aside from the fact that it was a nonconference game, Tuesday's boys' basketball matchup with Riverdale had many of the same aspects as Rockridge's West Central North meeting with Orion last Friday.
There was the sluggish start combined with a game opponent that battled to keep things close. There was a strong defensive stand in the second half and one big offensive quarter in the final 16 minutes. All of that which carried the Rockets past their league rivals also proved enough to fend off the Rams for a 62-52 victory.
"It was the same thing as Orion,'' said Rockridge coach Toby Whiteman, whose 19-2 club needed a 23-6 third-period run last Friday to prevail on the Chargers' home floor. "We started off slowly and allowed them to hang with us. Then, we came out and played well in the third quarter, got up and had a chance to put it away.''
After scoring the third quarter's final four points following a 3-pointer by Riverdale senior guard Jared Richmond that whittled Rockridge's lead to 34-32, the Rockets clamped down defensively to start the final period. In fact, Riverdale (12-11) was unable to attempt a field goal until Drew Beale's bucket at the 4:58 mark.
By that time, Rockridge had turned its 4-0 spurt to close the third into a 14-0 run that made it a 48-32 game. The hosts led by as much as 16 points, and the Rams couldn't get back within single digits after that.
"We held them to seven points in the third quarter, and that carried over to the fourth,'' said Whiteman, who got four steals each from T.J. Henry and Ethan Happ as his team forced the Rams into 16 turnovers, 12 in the second half.
Offensively, Happ delivered another double-double, going for 21 points and 13 rebounds. Sophomore teammate Bryan Heath scored 13 of his 18 points in the first half to help Rockridge to a 29-25 halftime lead. He also had six boards, as did Henry (nine points).
Richmond was held in check after averaging 28.5 points over Riverdale's last six games, mustering just 12 points on 4-of-12 shooting. Mitchell Sand stepped up his game in reply with a game-high 22 points along with eight rebounds. Cole Solomon added six boards.
"Jared has carried us the last few weeks, and Mitchell had been in a bit of a rut,'' said Riverdale coach Jason Hendrix. "To see him catch the ball off the dribble and shoot, that was good to see. That was what stuck out for me.''
What also stuck out for Hendrix was the way his Rams competed with Class 2A's fourth-ranked club. Riverdale took its only lead late in the first period at 12-11 before a Henry bucket put the hosts up 13-12 after one. And after Rockridge went up 17-12 early in the second, the Rams fought back to tie the game three times before the Rockets closed the first half with a 6-2 run.
"That string of games when we were 2-8, we weren't working together,'' he said. "We've been playing better, and we know if we played well (Tuesday), we could stay with them. We played with them, except for that five-minute stretch in the second half where they outscored us 18-2. To go in and go toe to toe with them, I told the guys to take confidence from that.''

After Post-Earnings Plunge, Is This Stock an Opportunity?
Alex is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
For the first time in years, International Business Machines (NYSE: IBM) missed analyst estimates, and reported weaker-than-expected earnings and revenue. As a result, the company's stock plunged over 8% last week. Has the market overreacted? Are current price levels an opportunity for value investors?
After the recent earnings report and price drop, it is interesting to see how the valuation ratios for IBM are now. With regards to P/E, the stock is currently trading at 13.19 times earnings, which is slightly lower than the industry's average, and better than competitors like Accenture (NYSE: ACN), which has a P/E of 16.18, or Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ), which does not even have a positive P/E as its EPS is negative.
When taking into account future earning estimates, IBM is also in decent shape. With a forward P/E of 10.29, the stock seems undervalued compared to most of its peers (like Accenture, which trades at a forward P/E of 16). However, Hewlett-Packard seems to be the most undervalued of the lot if future earning estimates are to be trusted, as its forward P/E is only 5.46.
IBM's P/B is worryingly high at 11.26, higher than the industry's average and higher than Accenture's 9.35, and Hewlett-Packard's 1.67. When factoring in growth, however, IBM comes out in a strong position: Its PEG is 1.26, better than most of its competitors. It cannot be said that IBM is a drastically undervalued stock, but it does have better valuations than most of its competitors in areas like P/E or PEG. Its high price-to-book ratio, however, is a bit worrying.
Analysts are neutral to slightly bullish on the stock. It has an average recommendation of 2.40 (overweight-hold), better than Hewlett-Packard's 3.20 (hold-underweight), but slightly worse than Accenture's 2.10 (overweight). However, with regards to price targets, IBM's average price target of $225.57 implies that the stock has an almost 20% upside potential from current stock prices.
Accenture's implied upside is less than 8% and Hewlett-Packard's current stock price is actually higher than its average price target. However, one should note that very few IBM price targets have been published after its last earning report and subsequent stock price plunge, so it its likely that, as analysts adjust their price targets to the post-earnings scenario, the almost 20% implied upside for the stock will erode.
Price movements
Had it not been for Friday's drastic +8% drop in the stock price, IBM would have been up almost 10% this year. After the drop, it is now actually almost 1% down this year. Since its late-2008 lows of $80, the stock has risen 135.75%, in almost a perfect straight line, with no major ups and downs. Friday's drop is clearly the exception.
The stock is now 12% off its 52-week high of $215.90, and only 5.83% above its 52-week low of $179.54. Even though the likelihood that the stock will recover some lost ground this week is high, it might be harder for IBM to hit new 52-week highs anytime soon.
The company has been a consistent dividend payer since 1987, never once scrapping it in 26 years. It currently pays a quarterly dividend of $0.85/share, which works out to an annualized yield of 1.79%. However, even with Friday's price drop, the yield is lower than Accenture's 2.17% or Hewlett-Packard's 2.71%.
Earnings: Looking ahead
IBM reported EPS of $2.70, up from $2.61 reported in the prior quarter. However, analysts were expecting EPS of $3.05, so, the earnings disappointed many. IBM's Senior Vice President attributed the weak earnings to two main causes: The inability to close some profitable deals prior to the end of the fiscal quarter, and a weaker Japanese yen.
With regards to the inability to close deals before the deadline, the argument is valid (as the deals are worth around $400 million), but certainly does not explain why the company's revenue was so weak: The gap between the estimated revenue and the reported revenue is almost $1.5 billion. This is not something that can be attributed to missing a deadline for deals worth only $400 million.
The losses attributed to the Yen's drastic depreciation this year are legitimate, and relatively hard to hedge as most of Japan's revenue comes from service operations, and are therefore conducted in Yen. The company was far from weak in Japan, however, as it actually experienced higher revenue growth in Japan than in the Asia/Pacific region as a whole.
Other causes probably played a role in the weak earnings: Lowered government demand due to budget cuts in both the U.S. and Europe, product transitions and shifts in technology, and general macroeconomic concerns weighed down demand for products.
That being said, the company also reported healthy margin gains and a drop in total expenses, as well as a slight growth in cash. This has been a pattern for the company for the last few quarters, and is an encouraging sign that points to a rise in productivity and a more favorable revenue mix.
The company also reported a rise in its order backlog, which, coupled with the $400 million in deals, a possible slowdown of the Yen's drop, and better worldwide economic conditions, could bring better earnings next quarter. The company has actually kept its 2013 outlook unchanged. Current analyst earning consensus for this year is at $16.74/share.
Bottom line
It is understandable that the weak earnings disappointed many investors. However, IBM remains one of the strongest tech companies out there. The recent stock price plunge has driven valuation ratios down, so these price levels could be good entry points for value investors who believe that the company's weaker-than-expected results were part of an off-quarter, rather than a sign that IBM has reached a point of declining growth and earnings.

RAMADI, Iraq — Large, noisy demonstrations against Iraq's government flared for the third time in less than a week Wednesday in Iraq's western Anbar province, raising the prospect of a fresh bout of unrest in a onetime Al Qaeda stronghold on Syria's doorstep.
The rallies echo the Arab Spring. Protesters chanted ''the people want the downfall of the regime,'' a slogan that has rippled across the region and was fulfilled in Tunisia and Egypt. Other rallying cries blasted Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's government as illegitimate and warned that protesters ''will cut off any hand that touches us.''
