Rated 5 out of 5Â by soccerplayer99 Comfortable slip-ons
Most of my friends owned Adidas slides so I wanted to try a pair, I had heard good things about them from my friends. These are definitely easy to slip on and walk out the door in comfort. I would say I was concerned at first about the reviews which said that the massage tips were painful but I found my feet only hurt badly when I tried wearing them without socks. Do not wear them without socks unless you want to be in pain. I find when I wear socks however I have no problems. I will definitely wear these until they fall apart! Thanks again for the great quality, Adidas!

Rated 5 out of 5Â by AdidasFannn Great for everyday wear!
First i was concerned about the massage nubs, after hearing they hurt but they really didnt. I wore socks with them at first but now I can go barefoot, two days later. Color is super cute and shoe is non slip for swimming pools. I ordered an 8 but got a 7w, which fits perfectly.

I'm satisfied with the sandals though like everybody was saying it takes time to get use to it, but it relaxes your tired feet which is the reason why I purchased it.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Chitownhottie Awesome Sandal!
This is my first time buying this sandal. I wanted a slip on sandal that was not a thong. The sandal is very comfortable. I have worn this sandal all day without ANY discomfort! I love the little massaging things (don't know what they are called) on the sandal. I actually bought two pairs. One in the black and pink and one in the silver and white. Think I may buy one more pair in the pink and white. Great to wear when going for a pedicure, running errands, and to the pool! Highly recommend!

On my feet all day, so as soon as I get back home, these are on my feet! -and I've been buying these for years because the massaging aspect really helps the circulation in my feet and ankles :)
LOVE the color! Adidas, please keep making these in awesome feminine colors!! I buy these a few times a year, year after year so please take this suggestion :))

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Step ahed in style Worth it!
The slides I just got for my birthday are so comfortable and are really worth your wild. Some people complain of the little bumps, I personally find them very useful. Sports can take a toll on my body and walking around in these works out all the tense spots. I would recommend these to anyone! The style is great also! I have he metallic silver ones.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by BGNO AWESOME SHOES!
These shoes truly help your legs to circulate. I'm convinced and I love them. During the ADIDAS sale, I purchased a few for myself along with one for my husband. We wear them mostly at home or at the health club and they rinse and clean well and they support your arch as well as your heel. The Velcro covered top of the shoe is comfortable. I hope ADIDAS offers more options for colors in this shoe. The mens colors are VERY NICE (orange and blue mix etc.) whereas the women's shoes are offered only in particular simple colors. We want cooler and more different options too! ;) I wish that ADIDAS would offer these soles in other shoes like some of their fashionable shoes and gym shoes as well.

Rated 1 out of 5Â by Camlet Painfully Disappointing
I was excited to finally purchase an Adidas slide. My brother had an original slide that I would wear every chance I got, it was comfortable and soothing but it seems something is now terribly wrong with this new slide. When you put your feet in, for the first few seconds it feels great but once you start to walk around it's like torture. I wore it hoping it would feel better but in less than a day both my heels had blisters. The spot where the Adidas logo is on that round thing does not work. Because it is lower than the nubs there is no support there hence the nubs feel like they are carving a circle in your heels. Took a few days for my foot to feel better after just hours wearing these slides. Adidas products are great and I would buy one without the nubs just not this particular slide.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by doreen m. amazing
I was worried the massage slide would hurt mt feet, but it is the opposite! My feet feel great! And the fade design in the footbad gives a little pop of color. This was my first purchase of Adidas slides in over 10 years, and that is a testament of how Adidas products hold up. I wear them almost everyday, all day. There was never a doubt in my mind about buying from Adidas again. I also only wear Adidas sneakers to work. They are durable, comfortable, and no matter how old they are, they still look good.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Madds Wait a Week
These shoes are amazing. I picked up a pair up after hearing rave reviews from 2 of my friends. I got increasingly worried during the first week when my feet started to become extremely sore. I talked to my friends and they said all I needed to do was wear down the nubs. After about a week they felt AMAZING! Listen to me: wait a week, don't give up too soon. When I have to shower at the gym I always wear these to protect my feet. I don't know what I'd do without them.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by DeJanaye Just what I was looking for
I was looking for some simple shoes that were affordable and comfortable and light. Something that I would wear with anything and still feel good. I was considering the Nike slide- ins but they just didnt offer me enough support for my flat achy feet. That was when I knew I needed the Adissages and I knew just from the great colors that I had to choose from that I would love them. And I do! Just wish i would have gotten them in a half size but its all cool!

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Janna Love them
I bought the pink pair and I couldn't be happier with them. They are adorable, well made and comfortable. I wear them with or without socks. The beads do not hurt my bare feet unless I'm standing/walking A LOT. Although, I do go barefoot a lot and don't have sensitive feet at all. It's an added bonus that they're waterproof so you really can wear them anywhere. I would recommend these to everyone and will probably buy different colors in the future.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by ginnybug VERY comfortable
The first time I wore these barefoot, they hurt a little. I put socks on with them until I got used to them. I read complaints about that issue.... Thought my insight may help.
Now I wear these exclusively at home. They are like shock absorbers for the feet. I have worked standing for many years and my feet get sore very easily. These have been a lifesaver for me. I wish they would come up this type of insole in more types of shoes.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by rungirlfun Feet so happy!
These slides are so great for refreshing the soles of your feet after a long run. I wear them in the house instead of slippers too. The footbed is really massaging and has been awesome to help relieve my plantar fasciitis. Don't ever stop making them!
Hint.. if they feel too bumpy at first, try them with socks - your feel will adjust and they will thank you for them!

I purchased the running white adissage fade slides and I am very happy with them. :) I ordered them 2 days ago and they came this afternoon. I didn't even have to pay a dime on shipping and they came way earlier than expected. I will definitely be buying form Adidas again :) Also the color should be listed as purple though since the whole shoe is basically purple.

Well first I got my shoes way before I thought I would and it made me super happy. I love the shoes though. They came in my size and correct color. The only thing I can say that's not how I like are the bristles on the bottom. They are a bit hard right now but I think once I continue to wear them they will soften up. Overall I am satisfied with my purchase.

I bought them for my granddaughter who just turned 13. She loved them. I bought the size her mother thought she wore but they are a little small so I am going to return them and get the next size up. I'm just hoping they have her size in purple or she will be so disappointed! She loves purple! She plans to wear them to her gymnastic classes and meets.

I bought these specifically to slip on after volleyball matches. Even with really supportive and stable shoes the bottoms of my feet always ache and tingle after playing volleyball. The massaging footbed on these sandals feels wonderful afterward. I highly recommend them to people involved in high impact activities.

I really loved the look of these slides. But massaging? No way! I was in pain after wearing them for only a short time. I tried socks and everything! I wanted to love them, but had to send them back. I wish Adidas made more colorful options on their smooth slides. If they did, I would have gotten a new pair.

It's true, I love everything about these slides--the colors, the style, the price, and the massaging effect. Even without socks, they don't hurt my feet! I looked all around for a pair of slippers/slides when my son suggested that I try these. Of course, he wears his year round, and now, so will I.

Too painful to wear. The nubs really make it impossible to walk. I thought they would be a bit softer...but, nope--they are quite hard. Even with dance callouses and a high pain tolerance from pointe shoes in ballet, I had to take these off and walk barefoot.

Since I have gotten older I need a flip flop that has a rough sole which keeps me from slipping on a smooth surfaced sole ( especially when they are wet ). These are Great because they give me a sure grip with my footing and help keep me from falling.

It's no coincidence that the symbol of South Korea is the yin and yang. It's a country that balances deep tradition with unbridled enthusiasm...
The decision to travel is your responsibility. You are also responsible for your personal safety abroad. The purpose of this Travel Advice is to provide up-to-date information to enable you to make well-informed decisions.
Tensions have increased on the Korean peninsula as a result of North Korea's ongoing nuclear weapons development program and provocative statements. In April and December 2012, North Korea attempted to launch two missiles into orbit, and on February 12, 2013, performed a nuclear weapon test. Additional tests cannot be ruled out.
On March 11, 2013, North Korea issued a statement declaring that the Korean Armistice Agreement is invalid. While past threats made by the North to nullify this agreement have gone unfulfilled, further provocative action could occur.
Despite recent statements issued by the North Korean government, we continue to advise that there is no immediate threat to Canadians in South Korea. However, as tensions could escalate with little warning, be vigilant, monitor developments and follow the advice of local authorities.
Crime against foreigners is generally low. Remain aware of your surroundings and avoid walking alone after dark. The use of public transport after dark may be safer than using taxis when travelling alone. However, when subway and bus services end for the night, use officially marked taxis only and, if possible, do not travel alone. Ensure that your personal belongings, passports and other travel documents are secure at all times.
The Korean National Police operates a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week Central Interpretation Centre where foreigners can report crimes (in Seoul, telephone 313-0842; elsewhere, 02-313-0842).
Sexual assaults against foreigners have occurred. Consult our publication entitled Her Own Way: A Woman's Safe-Travel Guide for travel safety information specifically aimed at Canadian women.
Political, labour and student demonstrations and marches can become confrontational or violent. Exercise caution, avoid areas where demonstrations are being held and avoid confrontations with protestors.
The rate of fatal road accidents is very high. Automobile drivers are presumed to be at fault in accidents involving motorcycles or pedestrians. Criminal charges and heavy penalties are common when accidents result in injury.
Taxi drivers may speak some English. Have your destination written in Korean.
A high-speed train (KTX) links Seoul and major southern cities such as Busan, Kwangju and Mokpo.
Consult our Transportation Safety page in order to verify if national airlines meet safety standards.
Dial 112 to reach police and 119 for ambulance and firefighters. An English interpretation service is available from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day.
It is the sole prerogative of each country or region to determine who is allowed to enter. Canadian consular officials cannot intervene on your behalf if you do not meet entry requirements. The following information on entry and exit requirements has been obtained from the South Korean authorities. However, these requirements are subject to change at any time. It is your responsibility to check with the Embassy of the Republic of Korea or one of its consulates for up-to-date information.
Official (special and diplomatic) passport holders must consult the Official Travel page, as they may be subject to different entry requirements.
Canadians must present a passport to visit Korea, which must be valid beyond the date of expected departure from Korea.
Tourist visa: Not required (for stays less than 180 days)
Business visa: Not required (for stays less than 30 days)
Student visa: Required
Working visa: Required (must be obtained outside South Korea)
Foreigners must register their biometrics (fingerprints and facial scan) at their port of entry. Children under 17 years of age and diplomats are exempt from this screening.
The South Korean authorities implemented screening measures at airports in response to the H1N1 flu virus outbreak. Travellers entering the Republic of Korea may be subject to a body temperature check.
Dual citizenship is now legally recognized in Korea. However, you must meet certain criteria to be recognized as a Canadian-Korean citizen by Korean authorities. If you think you may have a claim to Korean citizenship, contact the Embassy of the Republic of Korea or one of its consulates. If you are a Canadian-Korean citizen, Canadian officials may be limited in their ability to provide you with consular services in Korea, and you may be subject to national obligations such as military service. Consult the Laws and Culture tab as well as our publication entitled Dual Citizenship: What You Need to Know for more information.
Children need special documentation to visit certain countries. Please consult our Children page for more information.
Some countries require proof of yellow fever vaccination before allowing entry. Consult the World Health Organization's country list to obtain information on this country's requirements.
For the latest Travel Health Notices and information on vaccinations, outbreaks and diseases, consult the website of the Public Health Agency of Canada.
The Agency strongly recommends that you consult with a travel medicine clinic or health care provider preferably six weeks before departure.
The Agency publishes travel health advice for South Korea.
Korean medical institutions insist that fees be paid in full before the patient is discharged. They will not charge insurance companies directly.
The medical facilities in Korea are generally very good. There are international clinics in general hospitals in major cities such as Seoul, Busan and Daegu. Canadian consular officials can provide a list of hospitals upon request.
Do not drink local tap water. Bottled water is recommended.
You are subject to local laws. Consult our Arrest and Detention FAQ for more information.
Male dual citizens whose names appear on the Korean Family Relation Certificate may be subject to compulsory military service, even when entering the Republic of Korea on a Canadian passport. Before travelling to Korea, Canadian males of Korean origin may need to renounce their Korean citizenship or have their names removed from the Korean Family Relation Certificate to gain exemption from this requirement. Contact the nearest Korean embassy or consulate for more information.
The number of Canadians arrested and detained for drug-related charges has increased significantly. Penalties for possession, use or trafficking of illegal drugs are strict. Convicted offenders can expect long jail sentences, heavy fines and deportation. Minor violations, including smoking minute quantities of an illegal drug, such as marijuana, in a private home, can lead to detention even before the trial has begun.
Tourists are required to make a declaration to customs officers if they are entering or leaving the country with more than the equivalent of US$10,000, including local currency.
Penalties for drinking and driving are strict. Convicted offenders can expect heavy fines and jail sentences.
Photography of military installations or government buildings is illegal.
An International Driving Permit is required.
Contracts to teach English (arranged by recruiters in Canada) should be carefully reviewed before being signed. There have been reports that some contracts have been modified after the fact. Ensure all terms and conditions of employment are clearly stated before accepting an offer and ensure that you meet all the necessary requirements. The Korean government investigates the use of fraudulent documents, university degrees and ESL certificates. Penalties for using fraudulent documents include arrest, deportation and restrictions on re-entry. Be aware that written contracts are not binding documents. Verbal agreements often take precedence over written agreements. Consult our publication entitled Teaching English in Korea for more information.
The currency is the won (KRW). Traveller's cheques are accepted at all chartered banks (Eunhaeng in Korean). U.S. dollar traveller's cheques are recommended for the best exchange rate. Some major banks have automated banking machines (ABMs) that accept international debit or credit cards. The amount allowed per withdrawal may be quite low, rendering the service charge disproportionately high. Most ABMs that can be used to draw money from Canadian bank accounts offer English instructions. Major foreign credit cards (Visa, MasterCard and American Express) are widely accepted by hotels and other tourist facilities and are generally regarded as safe to use.
When transferring funds from Korea to Canada, a local bank will place a stamp in your passport stating how much was transferred, in keeping with Korea's Foreign Currency Control Act. If you are working in Korea and paying Korean income tax, you can transfer your entire income based on your tax payment certificate.
The rainy (monsoon) season extends from the end of June until August. July is usually the wettest month. Severe rainstorms can cause flooding and landslides. Typhoons occur in August and September. These storms can result in significant loss of life and extensive damage to infrastructure, and can hamper the provision of essential services.

I need some time.
Give me a while to sort myself out, because this has affected me more than I expected it to. It shouldn't hurt so much at this point, I thought to myself, but I still feel wounded.
Here is a truth, which you might have already guessed if you've been here for a while now: I am not okay. I am currently trying to fight my way back to the light, and it hasn't been easy. I am a thing in the pit, facing my demons, and for the better part of this year, I have been dangerously close to being overcome (again).
On some days I am paralysed with fear, thinking I'll never get better. On some days I accept that maybe the beasts and I are one, and that it isn't so bad, except for the thought of being unloved.
This thing—what happened here—it is wave after wave of hurt that I have to come to terms with. But I need more time.
I was thinking, this is perhaps the most cruel thing of all: for a little act that seemed so innocuous to come along and take you apart without you noticing. Do you know how it is, to be so—undone?
I worked so hard to rebuild my life. A few days before I found out about all of this, I actually thought I might be getting somewhere. And then—
This is all I have. Do you understand?
Give me time. To think. Perhaps to grieve. Something was lost here, something was taken from all of us, and it will never be the same.
"But that woman, that woman: bent forward with her head in her hands, she'd completely fallen into herself." — Rainer Maria Rilke, from The Notebooks of Malte Lauris Brigge
"But that woman, that woman: bent forward with her head in her hands, she'd completely fallen into herself."
— Rainer Maria Rilke, from The Notebooks of Malte Lauris Brigge
I don't know what my plans are, to be honest. But let's keep in touch. You know where to find me.

Second Annual Convention of the European Platform Against Poverty and Social Exclusion
The clip shows three innovative examples of projects and their results on the ground, through images and testimonies of the projects' representatives and stakeholders.
As the number of pensioners in Europe rises relative to the number of people in employment, ensuring adequate pensions on sustainable basis is a major challenge.
There is no common trend in raising inequality in Europe but some countries like Spain, the UK, Sweden, have experienced a large increase in income inequality, of the same magnitude as in the US.
This video clip looks into the challenges posed by inequalities by confronting ideas, opinions and suggestions from the public with the views of three distinguished experts.
Nature of homelessness in Europe: Whilst there have been significant improvements in recent years in some EU countries, homelessness is getting worse in others.
Actor Ethan Hawke says talent needs to be nurtured to succeed in adulthood.
With life expectancy in Europe rising and birth rates falling, how much longer can states provide proper pensions for their senior citizens? With fewer people working to support retirees, governments are encouraging their citizens to postpone taking their pensions.
The European Commission has decided to organise bi-annual Roma Summits in order to bring together high level representatives of EU institutions, national governments and civil society organisations from all over Europe.
The EU has developed a strategy to promote 'active inclusion' - adequate income support, inclusive labour markets and access to quality services.
Almost 80 million people, of whom 19 million are children, live below the poverty line in the EU.
Today in Europe, one person in six lives below the poverty threshold.
Roma have the same hopes and dreams or the future as all Europeans: for example, to have a good education and a fulfilling career and to be integrated in society.
Balancing work and a harmonious family life can be a real challenge; one where parental leave can play a crucial role.
Balancing work, family and private life is a daily challenge for millions of European men and women.
People facing poverty and social exclusion in their daily life cam from all over Europe to Brussels on 15 and 16 May to discuss their living situation with representatives of National and European Authorities.
The video looks at efforts being made to change perceptions of young and old, to help people of all ages to realise their potential and to see demographic change not as a threat but as an opportunity to fundamentally rethink of how our society functions.
Including vulnerable groups in work and education: story of people learning new skills for a new profession and disadvantaged people accessing university in projects in Sweden co-funded by the EU through the European Social Fund.
Including young people in job market: story of teenage girl and boy in training for atypical jobs (female car mechanic, male child care worker) in project in Cornwall, UK co-funded by the EU through the European Social Fund.
The clip addresses elder abuse in the EU and shows good examples of tackling poor treatment, neglect and abuse of dependent elderly and preventing similar abuse in the future.
Almost 20% of European youngsters are at risk of poverty – a higher rate than the adult population.
Today, millions of EU citizens do not have access to a basic bank account.
This report tries to look at the reasons why anti-Roma feeling has been so ingrained in so many European countries for so long and also looks at efforts being made to remedy the problem.
The European health insurance card provides proof of European citizens' entitlement to health insurance.
People experiencing poverty met in Brussels for the seventh time on 16 and 17 May 2008.
The 7th annual European Round Table, organised jointly by the European Commission and the French EU Presidency on 15-16 October 2008 gathered different actors in the field to promote dialogue on social exclusion.
Better healthcare for the Roma in Greece: story of project co-funded by the EU through the European Social Fund to provide healthcare services to the Roma.

Brian O'Connell remembers the plays in the big auditorium at Scholars' Academy, the workout room outfitted by parents, the rows of computers, the winning teams, the honor society.
"We had pretty much 100 percent of the kids going to college last year," said O'Connell, the tall, fresh-faced principal of the school. "We had teams playing competitively around the city, an orchestra, plays on a top-notch stage."
The night Superstorm Sandy pelted New York, it took 15 minutes to lose it all.
"I look at the videos and I can't believe how quickly the water rose," O'Connell said early this month as he watched surveillance footage from the storm.
The water flowed from the Atlantic Ocean and Jamaica Bay, tainted by overflow from a nearby sewage treatment plant. The video shows water rising as if released from a spigot, sweeping through the front of the school, climbing up the front stairs and pouring into the basement boiler.
"The next time I got in there, my grand piano was floating," O'Connell said.
Scholars' Academy was one of 1,750 schools badly damaged by the storm, one of many still trying to clean up and rebuild weeks later. The nation's largest school system was so wounded by the storm that it shut down for days. Even when schools reopened, 73,000 kids were displaced from their regular buildings. The district had lost 300 buses to water. Repairs moved quickly, but by early December, 5,400 children were still being bused to temporary schools.
Scholars' Academy is one of 56 buildings that are so severely damaged they won't reopen until next year. More than half the school's students saw damage to their homes. All of them are now riding long hours to study in borrowed school spaces.
The academy is in Far Rockaway, a beach town on the far end of Queens. The school is blocks from the Atlantic Ocean, and from its roof, you can see the Manhattan skyline. Dee Dee Ramone, who combed the beaches here as a kid, famously sang about it:
The sun is out, I want some
It's not hard, not far to reach
We can hitch a ride to Rockaway Beach
The song was a big hit in the late 1970s; O'Connell, 45, still hums it sometimes. It was the story of his generation, the kids who grew up here, spending weekends on the sandy shore. Some, like O'Connell, stayed and built up the summertime oasis into an enclave where working-class families could own a bungalow, raise their kids and send them to good schools.
At least, that was O'Connell's plan.
"When we started, you should have seen this place," he said of the building now home to Scholars' Academy.
The school that used to be in his building had been shut down. The academics were terrible, and the hallways violent. O'Connell took over and invested seven years in building Scholars' Academy into a highly rated public junior and senior high school.
"Sandy came in and did a number on us," O'Connell said. "So now we have to simply take a step back and say, 'Well, we built from nothing before, and in some ways, less than nothing.'"
O'Connell's own home was damaged by the storm. His upper floors still have no power. His mother's basement apartment is beyond repair. Humidity is eating the walls. After the storm, O'Connell had no place to live, and no school left to run.
He moved into a hotel, paid for by FEMA, and was back at work the next day with a plan to put his school back together. Crews pushed forward, uncertain even now about when the school will reopen. There are bad moments, too, like when the school was looted after the storm, losing dozens of new iPads and computers.
O'Connell said he kept his composure until he saw the podium the parents gave him his first year. It was toppled and covered with sewage.
"That really got to me," he said.
The whole experience reminds O'Connell of the building he walked into years ago, when far fewer kids graduated, let alone went to college.
"Now we're in a position where at least we have a great core group of teachers, phenomenal students (and) a really concerned, active, supportive parent body," he said.
Stacy Amato, co-president of the school's PTA, said the school stood out for its diversity, its technology, its graduation rate, how many students it sent to college, how many teachers were willing to stay late. Before the storm, she said, "we were really rocking and rolling." More parents were bringing fresh energy to the school, organizing fundraisers, printing sweatshirts, paying for new equipment.
Now, parents are waiting on word for how they can help rebuild and bring some normalcy to their kids' lives. Amato's own family was displaced for 18 days after the storm. Her son, a seventh-grader, is attending classes at the temporary school.
"I am concerned about the health of the building, that everything has been cleaned and taken care of," Amato said. "This place is like a family to (O'Connell) and I know he will do it right."
On a typical day now, O'Connell wakes up in his hotel room, then travels to his students' temporary schools. Then, he comes back to Scholars' Academy and pushes crews to get the place running.
The city allocated $200 million to make repairs to schools like Scholars' Academy. A week after the storm, it swarmed with construction crews and heavy equipment, but there's a lot to do, and more to buy.
The shiny gym floor had buckled and floor padding, recently purchased by parents, was ruined. The cheerleaders' uniforms were drenched in scum, and the auditorium's seats and sound system sat in a pool of water. Band and orchestra instruments bobbed in the water, with mold forming in their cases. Anything that wasn't 4 feet off the ground floor was destroyed, including scores of books, music, uniforms, teachers' belongings and workbooks. Every chair, table and desk on the first floor sat in water for days, rusting the feet.
"I worry that anything we don't tear up will rot or mold or buckle," O'Connell said. "I quantify the loss in terms of what it's actually gonna cost me if I have to replace those items new. ... It really adds up because some of these items are quite expensive, quite dear."
Meanwhile, his students are packed into classes at W.H. Maxwell Career and Technical Education High School and P.S. 13, schools in East New York, worlds away from the beach. P.S. 13 found space for about 700 Scholars' Academy students in closets, halls, offices, the cafeteria, "every single place we can imagine," P.S. 13 principal Sabrina Fleming said.
"A lot of them, they didn't have food, they didn't have clothing, they didn't have a place to stay. For a lot of them, they just wanted a place to come together," Fleming said. "That's why I said, 'You know, how can we not give them this opportunity, where they can come together and at least be with their friends?'"
It's tough on the teachers, too, Fleming said. When Scholars' Academy teachers walked in, many had lost their homes. The P.S. 13 faculty hugged them. For kids, staff members distributed outline drawings of a child and asked the kids to fill in their emotions.
"They lost everything," said Fleming, who now shares her main office with a second set of staff members. "The emotions are definitely high here. So, the first week, it was a lot of counseling for their staff ... we are definitely able to relate to their loss."
There are tests looming, ceremonies already missed. They recently held parent-teacher day in a big auditorium at a replacement school. The fall sports season is flying by, with no plan yet for how to replace the Scholars' Academy Seawolves equipment or musical instruments.
"When you go to the beach as a kid, you build a sandcastle. And as a kid, you learn early on that, sometimes, that tide comes in and it wipes out your sandcastle. What you do, when you can, you don't necessarily move your location," O'Connell said, speaking like a kid from Rockaway Beach. "You rebuild."
CNN's Poppy Harlow contributed to this report.

Learn More About Suki
Signs of aging, acne blemishes, rosacea, eczema and other skin conditions all detract from your complexion and make you feel less beautiful and confident in everyday situations. In an effort to improve their skin, women often turn to medicinal treatments or maximum strength skin care formulas that are laden with chemicals. As a result of the ingredients in these products, they develop side effects like irritation, which are unpleasant and detrimental to the appearance. Fortunately, you don't have to rely on products that contain synthetic ingredients to have the flawless skin that you crave; you just need to discover the Suki skin care collection.
Whatever your biggest skin care problem is, the Suki skin care collection has a host of natural solutions for you. The entire range contains 100 percent natural formulas that are clinically shown to improve the health and appearance of dry, oily, combination, acne-prone and aging complexions.
The Suki Exfoliate Foaming Cleanser uses the alpha hydroxy acids found in natural sugar and lemongrass extract to loosen dead skin and lift it away while thoroughly cleansing the skin. Gentle enough to be used by all skin types except those with severe acne or rosacea, the cleanser contains non-genetically-modified rice flour to reduce the depth of fine lines and German chamomile to soothe minor irritation.
The Suki Balancing Day Lotion provides necessary moisture to the lower levels of skin tissue to combat dehydration and keep the skin supple and firm. The lotion is lightweight and does not clog the pores, making it especially appropriate for those with oily and combination complexions. Salicylic acid derived from white willow bark offers exfoliating benefits, while retinol polypeptide liposomes in the formula replenish depleted collagen supplies in aging skin tissue.
The Suki Pure Facial Moisture - Balancing formula is intended to help normalize oil levels on the skin to ensure that it remains properly hydrated without becoming excessively oil. Designed as a follow-up to toning for those with acne-prone, combination or oily skin, the product contains borage oil and echinacea, which help to balance production and destroy bacteria to clarify the pores and clear up blemishes.

The Democratic and Republican committees tasked with electing candidates to the House of Representatives are closing the book on the 2012 election cycle, with Democrats saying they brought in $184 million and Republicans raising $144 million.
The Democrats' figure was roughly $20 million more than they took in during the 2010 cycle, which saw them lose control of the House. In 2012, Democrats gained eight seats in the lower chamber, not enough to regain the majority.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee said they had more than 3 million individual donations in the 2012 cycle for the first time in their history. They go in to the 2014 election cycle with $1.5 million cash on hand, $700,000 more than they began with in 2012.
They also end $13.45 million in debt. In the 2010 cycle Democrats ended $19 million in debt.
The National Republican Congressional Committee said they ended 2012 with $1.5 million cash on hand and $12 million in debt. They spent $64.7 million toward electing Republican candidates to the House.
Both the DCCC and the NRCC took out loans toward the end of the 2012 campaign, but neither committee said they included those loans in their raised figures for the cycle.

As student, Obama drew inspiration from Mandela
WASHINGTON (AP) The comparisons are perhaps inevitable. President Barack Obama and former South African leader Nelson Mandela each served as their nation's first black president, living symbols of struggles to overcome deep-seated racial tensions. Each was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

Historically, Berlin is a new arrival on the scene of major European cities. When the former Prussian capital became the seat of power of the new German Empire in 1871, it was taunted as the "Parvenu City" by more established European capitals; Berliners took the name with pride, and a taste of the slightly subversive or radical has stayed with the city for most of its existence.
Frankfurt, Germany's financial centre, is also known as "Mainhattan", thanks to its location along the river Main and its pronounced skyline. It is home to the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
