Goldman Sachs Returnship Program
Start Your Journey Back to Work with the Goldman Sachs Returnship® Program
The Goldman Sachs Returnship program helps to develop talented professionals who are looking to restart their careers after an extended absence from the workforce.
At Goldman Sachs, we value diverse perspectives and experiences, and we aspire to see the potential in every professional. Research shows that individuals who have taken a career break, primarily women, experience great difficulty when attempting to restart their careers. To that end, Goldman Sachs is committed to help facilitate the "on-ramping" process through our Returnship program.
The Goldman Sachs Returnship program was specifically designed for those who left the workforce for two or more years and are ready to return. This paid, ten-week program offers opportunities in a variety of divisions and the chance to experience the vast network of resources at Goldman Sachs. The program launched in the fall of 2008 in the Americas, and given its success, the program has expanded globally.
In the same way that an internship offers a guided period of exploration, a "returnship" provides individuals with an opportunity to sharpen their skills in a work environment that may have changed significantly since their last experience as an employee. It also gives participants the ability to explore a new area of expertise and learn new skills.
Whether it leads to a full-time career, or serves to sharpen the skills necessary to take the next step, the Goldman Sachs Returnship Program is a valuable experience for anyone who's ready to re-enter the workforce.
2015 Returnship Program
Participating Offices: New York / Jersey City / Salt Lake City

NELSPRUIT, South Africa (AP) -- Along with the footballing challenge, Zambia coach Herve Renard will be relishing the adrenalin rush on Friday when his team's defense of its African Cup of Nations title comes up against continental powerhouse Nigeria.
Far from daunted by the prospect, the Frenchman made it clear in an interview with The Associated Press on Thursday that the pulse-raising contest in Group C at Mbombela Stadium was just what football coaches thrive on.
Renard said "this is why we are doing our job, because we need a challenge -- we need adrenalin."
The French coach also highlighted what he believes to be a narrowing gap between Africa's big teams and the outsiders, having experienced the trend at first hand on Monday when 10-man Ethiopia held his Zambia side to a 1-1 draw.

Mousson is a truly a diverse fragrance that adapts itself to the user's own natural scents to create an individual aroma. although not the most masculine of perfumes, this is a unisex eau de toilette with hints of melon, subtle ginger, sandalwood and orange blossoms and a lingering woodiness that transports the user to a Garden in the Orient after the summer rains.

Comments about Un Jardin Apres La Mousson Perfume:
Overall, a lovely perfume. Definitely very sweet for those who are accustomed to other Hermes perfumes, but the initial sweetness definitely subsides after about 30 minutes when it mixes with your natural chemistry/oils. I agree with other commentators who said that the perfume smells differently on everyone.
Perfect for late spring and summer. Probably not the best year-round perfume.

Comments about Un Jardin Apres La Mousson Perfume:
It is a beautiful piece created by JCE. It is different from the other bottles in the jardin series, starting with a melony and spicy kind of note. After a while, the scent ends up being fresh, aquatic and clean, and it stays linear throughout. It is not biased to either femine or masculine side but somewhere in the middle. Not everybody likes it, even though I hardly can come up with a reason why people may hate it, so try it before you buy.

After reading mixed reviews and deciding to give it a try, this perfume is better than I expected - soft and feminine to my nose. A sweet note reminds me of tuberose but not so pungent.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The locks to Mayor Bob Filner's were changed by his chief of staff, as the embattled mayor was scheduled to complete a behavioral therapy program Saturday.
Filner was to come home to the reality that his last two supporters on the San Diego City Council now want him to resign.
The mayor, publicly accused of unwanted sexual advances by 14 women and under investigation for alleged shakedowns of developers, entered his therapy program a week early because of intense media scrutiny.
During Filner's absence, the locks on his 11th-floor office were changed, his chief of staff Lee Burdick acknowledged.
"The fact is that I had the locks changed to protect the mayor while he is away," Burdick told the Voice of San Diego in an e-mail. "My concern is/was that if anything was removed while the mayor was away, it could raise all kinds of questions about preservation or spoliation of potential evidence. Because I could not possibly determine everyone who had keys, I believed it was necessary to ensure the integrity of his physical office in his absence. The mayor will be given the keys upon his return."
Last month, Filner apologized for his behavior, said he would enter the behavior-modification program on Aug. 5 and said he would return to work two weeks later.
A statement from his lawyer, Irvine-based James Payne, said he will continue therapy on an outpatient basis and will not return to work next week.
It wasn't immediately clear when the mayor would return to his office, but when he does, he will find that all nine members of the City Council are united in calling for him to resign immediately.
The last two holdouts, Councilwomen Myrtle Cole and Marti Emerald, said in a joint statement that they were shocked by his conduct and lack of respect for women after hearing the most recent allegations.
"Mayor Bob Filner must resign immediately," the councilwomen said in the statement. "Disturbing new evidence about the mayor's conduct makes it crystal clear he can no longer remain the chief executive of the city of San Diego."
They said women who work in the mayor's office have told investigators of daily harassment and abuse by the mayor.
Also Friday, Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., wrote an open letter to Filner calling for his resignation.
She wrote that allegations he made advances toward women who were raped during their military service "have shaken me to my core."
Her colleague, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., has also called for Filner to step down.

Phony Social Security Representatives Still Pushing It
There were three more reports last week of aggressive door-to-door salesmen or con artists posing as employees of the Social Security Administration, two in Wake County and one in Randolph County. One of the Wake County incidents occurred at an assisted living facility. The second Wake County incident and the one in Randolph County reportedly took place at the consumers' homes. In each instance, the visitors were described as being pushy and demanding. In two of the incidents, they pressured the older consumers to produce their Social Security and Medicare cards, as well as other sensitive information.
In the Wake County incident at the consumer's house, two representatives approached the consumer in her yard. They showed her a file that contained a great deal of her personal and medical information, including her social security number. In the Wake County incident at the retirement community, the pushy, fake SSA official appeared to be selling Medicare Advantage or Part D prescription drug policies. He left quickly when the resident produced information showing that she had just secured coverage through another company. The visitors could not be identified afterwards in any of the three incidents.
As has been widely reported, the Social Security Administration does not send representatives door-to-door. It is not recommended that older consumers put themselves at risk by trying to obtain license tag numbers or other identifying information from these individuals. Instead, they should avoid speaking to them and immediately report the matter to local law enforcement or their security office if they live in a community or facility that has one. Various law enforcement members of the Task Force are inviting their counterparts who work closely with such consumers to be vigilant and to obtain license tag numbers and physical descriptions when they observe individuals engaging in these activities. Any information obtained can be shared with the Social Security Administration (1-800-772-1213), local authorities and the Department of Insurance's Seniors' Health Insurance Information Program (1-800-443-9354).

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - A New Jersey appeals court has upheld the use of electronic voting machines but ordered more tests for accuracy.
Monday's ruling is the latest in a legal battle dating back to 2004 when state Assemblyman Reed Gusciora and others sued over the state's use of the machines, claiming they were unreliable because they didn't produce a paper backup and were susceptible to hacking.
A judge in 2010 upheld the use of the touch-screen machines and ordered a review, but stopped short of requiring that they produce a paper backup.
In Monday's decision, the three-judge appellate panel sided with the earlier ruling but urged more study on whether the state has adequate safeguards to avoid programming errors such as one that compromised an election in Cumberland County in 2011.

Thankfully, there has never been a major crash at Sky Harbor Airport, but there is a fire station at Sky Harbor full of highly trained men and women, ready to respond in seconds if a plane ever gets in trouble.
Once a year, those firefighters go to an airport in California where they deal with nightmare scenarios they all hope they never see for real.
For the first time ever they invited a member of the media to go with them – me, Troy Hayden.
This is a special unit of the Phoenix Fire Department. They work at Sky Harbor every day.
We saw them in action late last year when they had to put out a small fire on the back of a US Airways jet.
It's an important mission and they nailed it. But it was nothing like what we saw at a training site in southern California.
Sirens wail as the call goes out. An airliner has crashed, spilled its fuel and is on fire.
Firefighters rush to the scene, walking right into the towering flames. The firefighters who protect our airport have to travel here to San Bernardino, California for training required by the FAA.
It's an opportunity I got to experience, bringing you along with a point-of-view camera mounted on my helmet. The first exercise -- a simulated fuel spill around the elevated fuselage of a 727.
In a fire this intense, the metal body of a plane will only resist the flames for 90 seconds before it begins to burn. So time lost equals lives lost.
We approach the flames in groups. The hoses are heavy and powerful, pumping out massive amounts of water.
Even though this is a drill, this fire pit is no joke. The temperatures inside is 1100 degrees.
Because of that heat, my job is to literally cool the ground around another group of firefighters who move in and put a ladder up against the plane. They open the emergency exit and begin to evacuate stranded passengers.
Our next drill gets pretty hairy -- fighting a fire in the cramped quarters of a plane's fuselage. The second we enter the cramped space we are engulfed in thick smoke.
As we make our way back towards where passengers would be trapped, we are forced to get down on our knees crawling to duck below the heat and smoke.
The roar of the fire echoes around us, and then we get a flash over. Combustible material near the ceiling, heated to its flash point -- a stream of flames flashing over our heads. Fire so hot it can melt protective gear.
The lead firefighter acts quickly, dousing the flash with his hose, cooling it. And then we move back to the seating area. Look at the flames all around us.
Can you imagine trying to survive something like this as a passenger? Seems almost impossible.
It's an eye opening experience for me. The heat, even inside our protective turnouts, is very intense. But we are able to punch through and get back out into the sunshine, valuable lessons learned.
All these firefighters know their actions on a real crash can save or cost lives. but thankfully this training is about as close to the real thing as most will ever get.
That training we just showed you is required every year by the FAA. Every firefighter who works at the airport has to go through it. It was quite a day.

Lying peacefully on the eastern coast of the Italian island of Sicily is the traditional and charming village of Santa Venerina. A Santa Venerina holiday is the ideal option for those visitors who want to be away from the tourist masses so they have an opportunity to relax, but are well placed to be able to reach the sights of Sicily quite easily. A Santa Venerina holiday rental house will offer some wonderful sea views and you can rest assured that it comes well-equipped so that you can concentrate fully on enjoying your holiday!
Although Santa Venerina is a peaceful place to spend your days, there are still plenty of activities in and around the village that you can enjoy whilst away from home. Amongst the activities available on a Santa Venerina holiday are small game hunting, hiking, mountain biking, bird watching, tennis, golf, horse riding, paddle boating, swimming, pier fishing, caving, skiing and diving.
If you are keen to find out more about Sicily's history and have a love of historical attractions then you should not miss spending a day in the city of Catania, approximately 18 miles south of Santa Venerina. The city has a lot of Roman remains including thermal bath houses, an amphitheatre, a Roman Forum and the Odeon. Catania also has wonderful botanical gardens and plenty of churches, cathedrals, palaces and the Castello Ursino. The castle was built during the 13th century by the Roman Emperor, Frederick II.
If the weather is a determining factor in whether you book a Santa Venerina holiday rental house or not then you will be delighted to hear that you can expect to enjoy warm summers and very mild winters. Generally speaking the warmest months of the year to have a Santa Venerina holiday are July and August when the temperature during the day can reach as much as 32 degrees Celsius. The winter months of December, January and February see the daytime temperature drop to anywhere between 9 and 17 degrees Celsius. The annual rainfall amount for the town is around 13 inches.
Travellers on a Santa Venerina holiday are likely to start their trip by arriving at Catania-Fontanarossa Airport (CTA) which is approximately 27 miles from the village. Airlines offering cheap, frequent direct and indirect flights to this airport in Sicily include Thomson Airways, British Airways, BMI, Air Berlin and Lufthansa. Passengers can depart from several UK airports such as Birmingham (BHX), Gatwick (LGW), Manchester (MAN), Belfast (BFS) and Edinburgh (EDI).

Woman to Women
Questions rise about what it is Women think when they "give it up" easily? Is it the loss of affection at home, the lack of modesty, self respect, and common sense?
This is one thing that strikes as "low" "insecure" and "easy", especially to men. Waking up and living isn't about shouting out -YOLO- and getting yourself into a pool of stupidity, and irresponsible acts. Problems don't only rise from situations at home, but also from society. Society has set the impression that it is OKAY to party, to drink, smoke, get laid, pregnant, and drop out. Since not only will the government support you with qualified benefits, but you are 1 in a few that will probably end up on a reality show.
If you weren't so busy worrying about what to do to be giving the title of a "BAD BITCH" "DIME" "WHORE" "RACHET", you might actually catch yourself slipping into a life of opportunities. Hitting the hottest clubs, or the livest concerts, and blocking the idea of being responsible is not only going to get you played, used, and classified as "One of the many" but it will leave you in nothing but regrets, despair, and living a life full of What if's..
As a woman, I can't say I represent an entire generation when I come about this topic. What goes into the minds of women who find it okay to come off as easy to men, and giving it up on the first date, week, or even month is simply the fact of the want and need of attention, affection, and some even feel they have the same rights as men when it comes to sexual desires. Women ask "Why should men only sleep around, and not worry about their reputation being in jeopardy?"
Some feminists, think that being able to give it up is not because they are trying to come off as easy, but yet they are holding on to liberal rights that men and women are created equal.
Men don't look for equality, or similarity for a matter of fact, they look for uniqueness, they look for a woman with a quite dignity. A man looks for a woman who has something educated to say, goals to accomplish, dreams to chase, aspirations that can't be found in just anyone. They look for a teammate, someone with ambitions, passion, and the strength to hold not an egalitarian type of relationship, but more of a traditional lifestyle. Therefore, Don't expect to be chased, or wanted if you hold a firm mindset that since men can sleep around, that it gives you women the right to do same. Keep in mind, Men seek identity then search for intimacy, however, Women have the tendency to mix business with pleasure, and the outcomes never come down to whats liberal enough, it's all about how you hold yourself up not put yourself down ladies.

Navigate the ins-and-outs of Windows 8 with how-tos, troubleshooting, news, and reviews.
The caption beneath the graph incorrectly identified the top performing encoder shown in the graph itself. That encoder is Google's Foxtail VP8 encoder.
Nokia refuses to license patents it says are needed to use Google's video technology, sullying Google's earlier patent deal. But WebRTC could still spread VP8 widely, lowering Web video costs for startups and schools.
Agreement with patent-licensing group clears the way for wider adoption of the Web giant's streaming-video platform WebM.
Can Microsoft really add 97,000 apps to the Windows Store between now and January 2013? Or is someone in Redmond doing some funny figuring?
The "Duclair" release brings Google's royalty-free video encoder software to version 1.0.0. But a sequel to rival H.264 is waiting in the wings, too.
The company's technical prowess and free VP9 licensing haven't been enough to dent the fortunes of rival compression format HEVC. But Google's already moving on to VP10.
A drawn-out evaluation could lead to a patent barrier around Google's Web video technology. Now 12 unnamed organizations have told MPEG LA they believe VP8 violates their patents.
Chipmakers now can create processors that accelerate encoding and decoding of Google's royalty-free VP8 video format. Also, Opera builds in WebP image support.
The Bali release of Google's video encoding technology does a better job creating videos, and the upcoming Cayuga release has more in store.
Plenty of patents are involved in HEVC, the leading technology contender for compressing 4K video. Several big names still haven't signed up for an effort to ease licensing.

Integrative Studies Symposium 2014 April 1-2, 2014
April 1 | 1:15-2:45 pm LeDerick Horne 'Beyond Classification' Riley Auditorium
April 1 | 7 pm Nothing About Us Without Us: An Open Panel on the Disability Experience 110 Towers
April 2 | 3:30 pm Lennard Davis 'The End of Normal: Disability, Diversity, and Neoliberalism' 114 Roush sponsored by the Literary Studies Writers Series in the Department of English
How do we define a 'normal' body and brain? Who decides what constitutes a 'problem body'or an intellectual deficit? Why do so many of us see disability—whether physical, sensory, cognitive, or intellectual—as a personal problem or misfortune rather than a human difference? Why not demand that our culture do a better job of removing barriers and limitations that obstruct their full participation in the world?
This year's Integrative Studies Symposium will invite us to think in new ways about ability/disability as well as challenge conventional and easy thinking about normalcy. It is not a special interest conversation: if we live long enough, we are likely to become impaired in some way. The human body, Harriet McBryde Johnson reminds us, is always'imperfect, impermanent, and falling apart.' For this reason, it is always more accurate to say that we are'temporarily able-bodied' rather than non-disabled. And it is part of the reason why it is important to expand and complicate our thinking about ability, regardless of what may be true for us in this moment.
The Symposium will also foreground the so-called 'intellectual disabilities' that often go unremarked in popular conversation about disability. Whether it is the autism spectrum or a learning disability, we want to talk about the varied and complex ways that the human brain can process information and sensory input. And, just as there is no 'normal'body, there is no 'normal' brain. We learn differently. We are more or less sensitive to external stimuli or social cues. And we vary in the way that we manage our relationship to emotion.
This campus conversation will be the first to ask us to consider new frameworks for understanding both ability and disability. It will also ask us to challenge what we are told is 'normal' and, by extension, what becomes a physical or mental 'problem' to be cured or solved.

AARP President Rob Romasco was invited to testify before the Senate Committee on the Judiciary's Subcommittee on Antitrust, Competition Policy and Consumer Rights, which is addressing prescription drug "pay-for-delay" deals and how they limit competition and cost consumers.
Pay-for-delay agreements involve brand-name and generic drug manufacturers entering into agreements that pay the generic drug manufacturer to delay bringing its lower-priced alternative to market. This practice not only denies consumers access to lower-cost treatment options as soon as possible, but also prevents competition. Ending these pay-for-delay agreements is critical to improving care and saving money in Medicare and throughout the health care system. Learn more at You've Earned a Say.
The following remarks were delivered on July 23, 2013.
Chairman Klobuchar, Ranking Member Lee, distinguished members of the committee, on behalf of AARP's more than 37 million members, we thank you for holding this hearing on "pay-for-delay" agreements — reverse settlements that delay the availability of generic prescription drugs — and their impact on consumers' prescription drug costs.
My name is Rob Romasco. I'm a member of AARP's all-volunteer board of directors, and I am honored to serve as AARP president.
Older Americans use prescription drugs more than any other segment of the U.S. population. These drugs play a critical role in their health and financial security. Two-thirds of people 65 and older report using three or more prescription drugs within the past month. Forty percent used five or more.
Unfortunately, retail prices for brand-name drugs continue to rise faster than inflation. In contrast, generic prescription drugs are considerably less expensive. Their retail prices are actually falling.
Generic drugs have proved to be one of the safest, most effective ways for consumers to lower their prescription costs. They have been essential to the recent slowdown in health care spending, and AARP believes that eliminating pay-for-delay agreements will result in additional savings for consumers and taxpayers.
Pay-for-delay agreements provide financial benefits to prescription drug manufacturers at the expense of consumers. The Federal Trade Commission (PDF) estimates that pay-for-delay agreements cost consumers and taxpayers $3.5 billion a year. If nothing changes, that's $35 billion over the next 10 years.
The FTC has found that pay-for-delay agreements keep generics off the market for an average of nearly 17 months longer than patent settlement agreements without such payments.
In the meantime, consumers must pay brand-name drug prices, typically 80 to 85 percent higher than generics.
This substantially raises costs for consumers, businesses and taxpayer-funded health programs such as Medicare and Medicaid.
Putting an end to these agreements will not only save consumers and taxpayers money, but will also help prevent patients, including older Americans, from forgoing needed medications because of the high cost of brand-name drugs.
Researchers have found that cost is one of the primary reasons why older adults do not fill prescriptions, skip doses, or take smaller doses. People who do not follow their prescription drug regimens use more urgent care and expensive inpatient hospital services.
This results in extra health costs estimated to be as much as $290 billion each and every year, not to mention the toll on individuals' health.

WEST ALLIS, WI (WTAQ) - The mother of three young children killed in a fire in West Allis last week could soon face a possible trial on six previous child neglect charges.
24-year-old Angelica Belen is due in court May 13th for a final pre-trial hearing on six misdemeanors.
Belen was taken into custody after last Thursday's blaze, but no charges in that case were filed as of Monday.
Prosecutors said the previous charges were connected with an incident on March 13th. They said Belen was in a craft store when she left three children in a car parked outside. Officials said her twin 4-year-old boys got out and ran around the parking lot, and they were almost hit by a vehicle.
Those twin boys – Alexis and Adrian Colon – died in last Thursday's fire, along with their 5-year-old brother Naveli.
Officials said the kids were the only ones at home when the fire broke out. Their one-year-old brother was away at the time.
Federal, state, and local investigators are still trying to determine what caused the blaze. According to the Journal Sentinel, one of the twin boys had autism and epilepsy. The other had cerebral palsy.

What's that one book, movie or work of the human imagination that will make a thinking person think more deeply?
I still remember reading Philip Pullman's Dark Materials trilogy at the age of 10, Jack Whyte's "A Dream of Eagles" septology at age 16, "God's Debris" by Scott Adams at age 19 and Dostoevsky's "Notes from Underground" at age 20.
These works changed the way I looked at things, and there was simply no going back. They gave me the the opportunity to experience a vision of something awe-inspiring in scope for the first time, knowing that it was vastly larger than myself. I remember that magical feeling I experienced reading these works, and knowing that great things were in store for me just waiting to be discovered.
Very few things I've read or watched have been able to evoke that sense of wonder and amazement in me since. I'd like your help changing that.
I'm looking for suggestions of works - books, essays, movies, poems, art, speeches etc - that have helped you experience a similar sense of wonder and delight - the highest expressions of a thinking mind.
I'm open to anything: Works of human thought and reflection that are grand in scope and sweeping in their narrative. Nuggets of philosophical reflection, contemplation and spiritual rumination that have helped us understand ourselves and the (in)humanity of others with more clarity. Works that are cathartic, illuminating or inspiring. Really any product of the human mind that would make a thinking person think more deeply, cohesively and understand.
I'm hoping that together, we'll be able to create a new selection of curated works of the human imagination that others can bookmark, use and follow in turn.
I look forward to your suggestions. Thanks in advance for all your support.

Comments about Nashbar Ragster II Cycling Sandals:
I only use them for short rides to the store and such. I had hoped to use them on summer tours, but they are a bit big and I did the cutout and installed the cleats, so I can't return them.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Great Sandals
By Fritz

To install SPD cleats, you need both a razor and more importantly needle nose pliers. You need to cut initial lines around the cleat cover, but the real action happens through ripping out the cleat cover.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Great Sandal for the money

About Me Commuter
This is my first pair of sandals after using MTB shoes and spd's on my road bike and Bacchetta Corsa recumbent for the last 5 years. I started commuting to work this year 30 miles round trip. Thought I would give the sandals a try for comfort on my recumbent. I've been wearing them everyday for the past 6 weeks or so and couldn't be happier. My feet stay MUCH cooler, and it helped alleviate some of the hot foot issues I was having. I don't wear socks with them. Some reviewers have complained about the textured insole but it don't bother me one bit. They are so comfortable, I bought a second pair just to wear as normal sandals. I truly forget I have them on my feet. I can't imagine going back to shoes after wearing these sandals............
For Winter Riding Too !!!
By s7pete
from Loveland, CO
I've used these as my only cycling 'shoes' since 2008 including solo unsupported Calif-Colo, 3 Ride the Rockies, RAGBRAI. They are the only cycling 'shoes' you need except racing and flash stuff. On tour - wear them to town - they look like regular sandals to the uninitiated. Here's the big secret - with GoreTex oversocks,they are warmer and dryer than standard shoes in the Winter.I live in Colorado and cycling down to 20 degrees. Because you can loosen the straps and put on wool socks with GoreTex waterproof/breathable oversocks, you'll be warmer and dryer than your buddies in standard shoes that don't allow insulating space and booties that are a pain.I'm ordering another pair today - hence why I'm at Nashbar site.

Once you get them ready to use they are great, but plan on spending some time getting them ready!
Nice with some extra work
By Mattr
from Bucks County, PA
I agree with other reviewers about the nibs left over from the molding process. After about five minutes of wearing them around the house it felt like I was walking on a bed of nails. That's just really not acceptable and I immediately considered shipping these back for a refund. Then I figured, why not just snip the nibs off with a cuticle scissor. That worked pretty well but I couldn't get to a bunch of them under the front toe guard and strap. So I took a piece of 150 grit sandpaper and scrubbed the entire insole with it. That seemed to do the trick and the sandals are much more comfortable now that I did that. If you do the sandpaper first, you probably wont need the scissors at all. It was also something of a pain in the neck to remove the rubber cleat mounting plate covers from the sole but the small blade on my pocket knife did the job. It would be nice if you didn't have to do that. All told, way too much work needed which is why I didn't give these four stars. One last beef; these sandals are HEAVY!! Those issues aside, I mounted eggbeater cleats and the mounting plate is nice and roomy; it allows good clearance around the cleat no matter which set of holes or how far over you mount them. No problems clipping in to my pedals at all and the cleat is completely recessed for walking purposes. They're easier to walk in than my touring shoes and my cleats don't scratch the floor. Though HEAVY, these sandals seem VERY solidly made, like a solid block of rubber, and should last a very long time. I look forward to cycling sock-less for years to come.
Love these sandals!
By Rouz
from Amherst MA
Just finished the 2014 RAGBRAI and a tour in Germany. Only packed these sandals (no shoes, no socks). Loved 'em! Now they're what I wear on most days (summer work commute; longer weekend road rides). A fellow cycling-sandal-wearer on RAGBRAI saw mine and was wowed over the toe protection. Seem a little heavy but they are appropriately stiff and well-constructed. I'd recommend to anyone.
A shoe for all seasons!
By Allyn
from Simi Valley, CA
Great sandals for cycling all day! The insoles your feet stand in have a peculiar "waffle like" pattern and lots of tiny bumps from toe to heel. You stand on these and first think of gravel. You start to ride and believe you might have a problem with this feeling that is not normal. After an hour you forget about it, after two hours your feet begin to like it, and after 4 hours your feet feel like they have been massaged by a professional oriental masseuse. Jump into a lake and your feet don't slip. They are waterproof. Put socks on and the grip is really good. Put neoprene socks on and you are ready for snow. The instructions for cleat installation are real old school though. It is not a good idea to place the cleat directly under the ball of the foot (unless you are a sprinter competing against Cavendish). Put the cleat as far back as you can towards the arch of your foot. This eliminates "hot foot" and provides a more stable position and better knee rotation. Like a Brooks saddle, they take a little getting used to, but they are worth it.
Love These Sandals
By Shelley
from East Peoria, Illinois
I owned a different pair of sandals and they were too stiff, hard, uncomfortable. These are a pleasant surprise. Very lightweight, cushy and comfortable. I use egg beater pedals on all of my bikes and the combination is great. Highly recommend.
great sandals for biking
By biker joe
from Naperville, IL
I bought a second pair for use without spd clips.These have better rigid footbed support with spd clips than my non-sandal biking shoes.I wear socks for comfort (European style) and thetextured foot bed is not felt, but seems to prevent any slipping movement of foot in sandal.I will be wearing these whenever temperature is above 35 deg. instead of biking shoes.I finally have comfortable spd biking foot gear for use with my wide feetGreat product!!

Russound, the maker of multiroom home audio products like the DMS-3.1 Digital Media Streamer, has released an update for the C-Series products that brings more function to the devices.
Release 7, as it's being called, applies to the TS3 Color Touchscreen, the MCA-C3/C5 Multizone Controller Amplifier, MDK-C5/C6 Multiline Display Keypad, My Russound App MRA-3, and the Digital Media Streamer mentioned previously. The new release adds Pandora and TuneIn to the systems as well as the ability to operate AirPlay devices from a C-Series interface.
Another benefit of the upgrade is that users can have their Digital Media Streamer integrated with other control systems including Control4, Key Digital and RTI.
The new software also allows the installer to update system keypads remotely over the internet, which will save the installer from having to drive to your home for simple updates.

I swung by a strip mall to pick up a sandwich and I decided to snap a picture of these gorgeous Bird of Paradise flowers I have been eyeing for months now.
Bird of Paradise (Strelitzia reginae) are my favorite flowers ever! I love them because they are beautiful and they just feel so tropical. I planted some in my yard a couple months ago but they haven't bloomed yet.
Until later, happy picture taking!

As the investigation continues into the fatal field trip at Lilydale Regional Park in St. Paul, many are wondering how often the ground just gives way in the city and FOX 9 News looked into the science behind landslides.
Landslides are a pretty regular occurrence in the Minnesota River Valley, but a researcher at the University of Minnesota told FOX 9 News it's uncommon for one to take place in a St. Paul park.
So why did the landslide happen at Lilydale? Experts say it's important to take the park's landscape into consideration.
Photos sent in by Tina Hoikka of a different group of fourth-grade students from Susan Lindgren Elementary on a similar fossil hunting expedition in the area show the scene.
"We climbed down a few hills and up a few hills," Hoikka recalled. "You know, it just started to rain a tiny bit at the very end, but the trail we were walking on felt very safe."
Hoikka admitted it's hard to believe her kids walked through the same spot just one day before the Peter Hobart Elementary School field trip turned fatal.
"I felt terrible that we had so much fun but it ended up as a nightmare for someone else," she said.
While investigators work to pinpoint the cause of the accident, Satish Gupta, with the U of M's Soil, Water and Climate Department, said he believes the rainy weather played a role -- but he said it's unlikely anyone could have known it was coming.
"You cannot forecast these things because every hill slope does not slump," he explained.
Gupta said the park's landscape includes buried layers of rocks. That means when it rains, the water can't get through the rocks and moves toward the hill slopes instead of seeping down into groundwater. Eventually, that weakens the soil and causes a landslide.
He also demonstrated the consistency of a till, a hard soil type found in many hill slopes across Minnesota that can change drastically after being soaked in water for a few minutes.
"The strength of the soil goes down," Gupta showed. "It's more like taking a piece of bread and putting it in water. You lift it up, it's going to disintegrate."
Researchers say it's hard to predict a landslide, and the best time to search for fossils usually follows a heavy rainfall because the ground loosens up and makes it easier to dig -- but the amateurs are now being advised to stay away until conditions are dry.
St. Paul officials say the fossil portion of Lilydale Regional Park will remain closed indefinitely.

Teradata Corporation Stock Buy Recommendation Reiterated (TDC)
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 13.5%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 9.6%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- TDC's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.15 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. To add to this, TDC has a quick ratio of 1.73, which demonstrates the ability of the company to cover short-term liquidity needs.
- TERADATA CORP has improved earnings per share by 15.8% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, TERADATA CORP increased its bottom line by earning $2.44 versus $2.06 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($3.10 versus $2.44).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the IT Services industry average. The net income increased by 14.3% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, going from $98.00 million to $112.00 million.

On September 7, 1988, while walking across the Hawthorne Bridge, a young woman smelled something decomposing. She looked down off the bridge and observed what she thought to be the arm of a person below, beneath the south edge of the SE Water Ave on/off ramp at the east end of the Hawthorne Bridge. The police were contacted and discovered the partially decomposed body of a male, who was later identified as Lenoed Joseph Santiago.
Lenoed Joseph Santiago, a 49-year-old gay Hispanic male, was 5'6:, 136 lbs, and was a sailor and civilian employee of the US Navy. He was assigned to the ship, the USNS Andrew J. Higgens, which was in dry dock on Swan Island. He was last seen alive by his shipmates leaving the ship on August 16, 1988. At that time, he was supposedly carrying a considerable amount of cash.
An autopsy determined that Mr. Santiago died of a severe beating. Numerous bones in his body were broken and there was a significant amount of blood spatter where Mr. Santiago's body was recovered. There was no cash on his person when the body was discovered.
A person of interest at the time, Matthew Delbert Loehr, was interviewed by investigators, admitted knowing Mr. Santiago, but denied complicity in his death. According to relatives of Mr. Loehr, Mr. Loehr did come into some unexplained money around the time Mr. Santiago could have been killed. Mr. Loehr has since died as a result of a drug overdose. Investigators would like to talk to acquaintances of Mr. Loehr to determine if he ever said anything to anyone about Mr. Santiago, Mr. Santiago's death or the death or beating of anyone.
If you or anyone you know has information regarding Mr. Loehr or the death of Mr. Santiago, you are encouraged to call Crime Stoppers at 503-823-HELP (4357)
