The Spirit of Sarah:Sochi Olympics Halfpipe Ski Finals

The spirit of Sarah Burke,the late and legendary Canadian freestyle skier,loomed large in the finals of the women's halfpipe ski event Thursday at the Sochi Winter Olympics.It was Burke who initially pushed ESPN to include the event in its Winter X Games and,later,convinced the International Olympic Committee to include it in the Sochi 2014 Games.She died at age 29 on January 19,2012 of injuries received January 10 in a training accident at Park City,Utah,suffering irreversible damage to the brain due to lack of oxygen and blood after cardiac arrest,and a torn vertebral artery.
In the course of her career,she won four gold medals and a silver at the Winter X Games,plus the World Championship in halfpipe in 2005.In 2007,she received the ESPY award for Best Female Action Sports Athlete.She married fellow skier Rory Bushfield in 2010.*
Emotions over Sarah flowed in the hearts of the skiers who had personally known her Thursday.Her parents were among the spectators at Sochi,and consider the skiers to be family.*
Sarah's the reason we're all here,said Team USA's Maddie Bowman,20,of South Lake Tahoe,California.Without Sarah,none of us would be Olympians.Sarah inspired us on snow or off snow.I think she would have been proud of how all the girls rode tonight.*
Bowman won the first gold medal in the new Olympic discipline with her clean and seamless run,followed by Marie Martinod of France,29,silver,and Japan's Ayuna Onozuka,bronze.With Bowman's victory and that of David Wise the day before,the US swept the gold medals for the event.
American Brita Sigourney also performed some remarkable tricks at up to 34' off the ground,but a slight mistake on one landing kept her off the medal stand.*
The US led the medals count as of Thursday night with 25.Russia was second with 23,and the Netherlands held third with 22.Norway had the most gold medals(10).

Thriving on Main Street:Goldman Sachs Grows in Salt Lake City

Wall Street powerhouse Goldman Sachs continues to recruit staff for its Salt Lake City office at 222 Main Street.It occupies seven floors in the new building,having moved from an industrial park in the outskirts of town.A large component of the office is Utah-raised people.
Goldman expects significant growth at this Rocky Mountains location over the next 2-4 years.It has surged from 300 to more than 1400 so far.It is their second largest office in the Americas.The regional office gives more responsibility early on,Goldman says,offering more exposure to all the firm's businesses.Positions at the office include Investment Management;Operations;Services and Technology;and Investment Research.
Goldman praised the excellent talent and resources it has been able to tap into through the Utah education system and general labour market.Utah lends tremendous value to its global businesses.Many employees continue their careers in other offices in the Americas,Europe and Asia.In a recent survey,employees rated their experience at this office 3.7 out of 5 stars.
Goldman has been moving people out of New York to such non-traditional hubs largely to cut costs.It is following a trend by financial services companies to open offices in high quality of life/low cost areas such as Salt Lake City and North Carolina.
Goldman's Salt Lake office has been recognised for the diversity of its staff.Some of them never expected to work for the financial services titan.
In addition,the Goldman program 10,000 Small Businesses is recruiting students for its academy at Salt Lake Community College.Participants have expressed high regard for the program that brings Goldman's expertise to bear on small business issues.They are attributing double digit revenue and jobs growth based on the knowledge and networking offered through the program.

Who Sings On The Citibank ThankYou Card Commercial

The Citibank ThankYou Card commercial joins soaring video with a breezy song.The song is called "Into the Wild."It is by the American singer songwriter known as LP(Laura Pergolizzi).
The video features professional climbers Katie Brown and Alex Honnold,not actors.They are shown climbing one of the Fisher Towers in the Utah desert,about 27 miles from Moab.The pinnacle Brown summits is not considered the most difficult climb at the Towers.Several other ascents there are regarded as being among the most challenging desert climbs.
LP has been prominent since 2006,although for some years she was better known for her songs written for or covered by other performers.Among those credits are recordings of her work by Backstreet Boys;Heidi Montag;Christina Aguilera;and Rihanna.
A New York native,LP now resides in Los Angeles.She's been touring very extensively over the years.You can sample her music on YouTube-including the Citibank track.
The commercial is quite an effective promotion for the credit card,perking groggy viewers up with an outdoor adventure.
