Bleeding for UM Duplex issue not yet resolved By DARIN KLAHR Contributing Editor Coral Gables Assistant City Manager and Univer­ sity of Miami Community Relations Committee Secre­ tary Sanford Youkilis said the ongoing debate over the Coral Gables zoning code's definition of "family" may apply to a broader scope of residences than simply duplexes. "I have to admit that after the last meeting I didn't realize that the regulation was also in apartments," Youkilis said. "Essentially, it says an apartment, as defined in the zoning code, must also have one family." In a move that may affect all University of Miami residents living off-campus in Coral Gables, the UM/Community Relations Committee unanimously recommended Monday to the City Commission that "the appropriateness of the use of the word 'family' in the zoning code be reviewed."

  • 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.

  • 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.

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.

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.
