2016 Annual Report 2016 ANNUAL REPORT 1 2 TO THE COMMUNITY: In my life’s interest of advancing fitness and well-being, I see every day the benefits of dedicating attention to regular exercise and healthy eating. While the particular outlets vary—running, biking, field and racquet sports, yoga and weightlifting; vegan, vegetarian or omnivore—the goal is the same: to create core strength to enable a person to enjoy life to the fullest and to enhance longevity. Similarly at RAD, the fitness of our regional assets relies on core funding—the type of funds that assets can use at their discretion to sustain day-to-day operations. While their program focus may vary—libraries, parks, sports and civic facilities, arts and culture, and transportation—this core support is vital to their well-being, to creating well-managed, fully operational regional assets that are critically important to our region. While RAD provides substantial funds for capital projects, the hallmark of RAD funding has been operating support—also known as unrestricted funds that can be used for the core functions of the assets, such as staf, rent or mortgages, utilities and program costs. This primary focus on core support, however, means that RAD spends considerable time engaging in a comprehensive review of each applicant, focused on understanding programming, governance, finances, outreach and outcomes. This past year, in fact, we were pleased to enhance the role of our Citizen Advisory Board to provide additional assessment of applicants to enrich our understanding. As you review this report, you will see that core funding support from RAD helps our regional assets not only to maintain, but to upgrade and improve programs and facilities that are the jewels in our community. With reliable core funding, RAD assets seek new audiences, present world premieres and leverage this support for new donors. On behalf of the RAD Board and staf, I hope you will find time this year to enjoy our regional assets. Sincerely, Daniel J. Griffin RAD BOARD CHAIR 1 MISSION Our mission is to support and finance regional assets in the areas of libraries, parks, cultural, sports, and civic facilities and programs. 2 2016 AT A GLANCE 24,193,828 people visited the assets in 2016 683,739 free tickets were provided by the assets to those who might not otherwise have been able to attend $734,886,600 in direct expenses was contributed to our local economy by the assets, including $353 million by the Port Authority 63,823,513 people use the Port Authority for transit 10,764 people were employed by the regional assets 10,989,049 3 items circulated at the regional libraries Libraries have existed as long as records have been kept—or about 5,000 years.

  • Marshall Goldberg
    Professional Football Researchers Association www.profootballresearchers.com Marshall Goldberg This article was written by Matt Keddie. Marshall Goldberg was always a big dreamer. It was not ironic during his playing days that he earned the nickname, “Biggie”.1 No matter the sport he played or the team he played on, Marshall fit right in with his natural athletic ability. He ascended through the football ranks to star with the NFL's Chicago Cardinals as a fabulous two-way player in the 1940s. His eight year NFL career from 1939 to 1948 was briefly interrupted by a short stint due to service in the US Navy (1944, 1945). During his career, he was arguably the Cardinals' best player, and a top back during the war time era. Marshall was born to Sol Goldberg and Rebecca Fram in Elkins, West Virginia on October 24, 1917. Both immigrants, his parents worked as entrepreneurs in the clothing business.23 They worked hard for what they had, and saved all they could. As a result, Marshall's home life was very blue-collar. He learned the values of working for everything – the food he ate, the clothes on his back, and the success he would achieve in life. Among his interests growing up: competitive sports. He stood roughly 5'11” and 190 pounds, an athletic build that allowed him to star at Elkins High School on the football, track, and basketball teams. Goldberg was not only the team captain, but he was also an All-State performer in his senior year.4 Marshall's astounding success drew the interest of major college football powerhouses from across the country.

    Residential Handbook 2015–16 WELCOME Welcome to University of Pittsburgh on-campus housing! Whether you are living in a residence hall, apartment-style accommodation, or fraternity complex, you are one of over 7,900 undergraduate students residing on campus, and your comfort and satisfaction are very important to us. It is our priority to ensure that your time in on-campus housing is one of many positive and rewarding experiences here at Pitt. The purpose of this Handbook is not only to provide you with a comprehensive reference for living on campus, but also to advise you of the policies for residing in University housing. This Handbook is not, and does not, create a contract. Upon electronically signing your Housing and Dining Services Contract (Contract), you agreed to, among other things, abide by the policies, rules, and regulations set forth in this Handbook and any other official University publications, including, but not limited to, the Student Code of Conduct and Judicial Procedures. Communal campus living can be a great college experience, but with your decision to do so comes a responsibility to abide by the rules necessary for the safety and enjoyment of all. With your cooperation, this goal will be met. This Handbook is divided into two sections. The first section (Everyday Living) addresses matters specifically related to your occupancy of University housing. The second section (Resources and Services) provides other useful information pertaining to the University. Each section has been organized alphabetically for easy reference. If you have any questions or need any additional assistance, please feel free to contact Panther Central at 412-648-1100, [email protected], or www.pc.pitt.edu.
