Day You and I want to succeed. Either personally or professionally. So, I am sharing with you some of my beliefs which may be helpful to you. They are: 1 Believe in God. Ask Him for solutions and cures and blessings. Early on. Do not let the situation get out of control until you ask for His intercession. 2 Make yourself valuable. Good enough is not good enough. Achieve more than is expected of you. Go the extra mile. Work longer hours and start earlier than required. 3 Listen. Talk less. Observe more. 4 Emulate successful people. Learn what Jesus did in various situations. Watch what othersSome do in the USA and inKeys the world. toSuccess 5 Make quality decisions. Thoughtful ones. Or defer to those who know more about the issue than you do. Make decisions which will make you more valuable. 6 Think. Think again. Think ahead. Think. 7 Balance mission and margin. It is hard to generate revenue and to save money. It’s critical and important to do both. 8 Plan. Plan your career as well as you plan your vacation. Planning will determine your success or failure. Work your plan. 9 Communicate. Do it. There is no such thing as “no communication!” Silence will communicate more than you would imagine. 10 How are things? Good or bad? Compared to what or to whom? Most things have a “relative value.” Be an optimist. Fill your cup with success.

Signature Sponsors Platinum Sponsors Gold Sponsors My Deer Hunting Mother’s hen Margaret Lichtenstein was 65 she began hunting deer at a north Texas ranch. A real W character, my mother was continually fascinated with hunting until she was 92 years old. After more than 20 kills, she hung up her rifle. Even so, her grandchildren continued calling her “Nana the Ninja.” “Kidnapped” From Corpus Christi to Pittsburgh At 98, Mother lived independently in Corpus Christi, and after many spirited discussions, she agreed to “visit” Pittsburgh. I think she always knew she was coming to stay. As we passed through the small airport’s security, my mother loudly whis- pered to a TSA agent, “I hope you can help me. I’m being kidnapped!” We were quickly ushered into a closed room for further questions. After I identified myself as the Chief Executive of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, I was cleared of Adventure kidnapping charges. Mother thoroughly enjoyed my distress and my 98-year-old prankster and I made our flight. From Oakmont to St. Barnabas Mother stayed in Oakmont, northeast of Pittsburgh, with my wife Elin and me for a while. We visited assisted living facilities. After two weeks, she chose St. Barnabas. “I like the people there the best,” she said. The finishing touch in her living assistance apartment was the head of a 12-point buck proudly mounted on a wall. 6 FAITH & WORK My Deer Hunting Mother’s Birthdays and Beauty Salons For as long as I could remember, Mother went to church every Sunday and the beauty parlor every two weeks.

Two weeks later the manager called to say that Mother thought the gift was wonderful.

I am delighted that you will be joining us for this event as we explore the implementation of the Affordable Care Act in southwestern Pennsylvania. In the course of the past year, a number of key policy issues have emerged at the state and local levels. We have not yet passed legislation to address pensions and transportation funding, two key issues that will be of critical importance during the legislative session this fall. Also among these is the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, which emerged as the most critical issue for Policy Makers and the Institute of Politics to address. This is primarily because the Act is so complex: it includes the components that one hears about in the media: employer and individual mandates, exemptions to various components of the law, the potential expansion of Medicaid, subsidies for certain categories of individuals, families and businesses, and tax changes, among other things.

Even as the population and density of these cities de- crease, the infrastructure and physical area—and the cost to maintain them—remain the same. A new concept known as “Creative Shrinkage” calls for planning proactively for the possible or likely population shrinkage of a city by adjusting its physical size to its reduced population. This study explores the causes of urban growth and decline in Youngstown, Ohio and Pitts- burgh, Pennsylvania and compares Pittsburgh’s conventional responses with the unconventional “Creative Shrinkage” responses adopted by Youngstown, and determines that Creative Shrink- age as utilized in Youngstown has several standard components that allow for its use as a strat- egy for declining cities. The study suggests a new federal program to assist declining cities with shrinkage and calls for a shrinkage-oriented planning model.
