This role has become even more critical in recent year, as the sector has confronted unprecedented economic and financial challenges. The industry continues to re-invent itself on multiple fronts, with customer needs and creativity at its helm. The 2010 edition provides a wealth of tables and charts on the workings of the insurance, banking and securities sectors. Exciting trends like saving for retirement and planning a financially fit future are taking hold. Other trends and statistics highlighted are: • Retirement savings • Banking, insurance and securities industry data • Mergers and acquisitions • Mortgage industry and housing • Global rankings Many organizations, consultants and others who collect industry data have generously given permission to use their data in this book. However, the bulk of the work involved in col- lecting, integrating and interpreting the material was done by the Insurance Information Institute, which accepts editorial responsibility for the book. We actively seek your advice, comments and suggestions for next year’s edition. Please con- tact either of us, [email protected] or [email protected]. We’re optimistic to say that 2009 was “the year that was” and 2010 is “the year that will be.” Robert P.

  • DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGH STATE of DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGH 2021 Introduction
    2021 State of DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGH STATE OF DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGH 2021 Introduction TABLE OF CONTENTS After a one–year hiatus, this marks the ninth year that the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership presents the State of Downtown Pittsburgh ACCOLADES 3 Report. Last year, Pittsburgh — like the rest of the world — faced an unrelenting wave of challenges due to the COVID–19 pandemic. Everything changed practically overnight; and Downtown experienced BY THE NUMBERS 5 a significant disruption with the pandemic deeply impacting the fundamentals of our economy. OFFICE & EMPLOYMENT 7 Now, over a year into the pandemic with bright spots on the horizon, we see how Downtown continues to be a resilient community. Greater Downtown saw 20 major developments, representing over $556M HOUSING & POPULATION 13 in investments, completed over the past year. These investments include new hotels, residential rentals, condos, office redevelopments; and even two new major mixed–use developments, the Strip District RETAIL & HOSPITALITY 19 Produce Terminal and the Highline on the South Shore. There’s still so much potential in both the short– and long–term. INVESTMENT MAP 23 Looking forward in 2021, there will be even more outdoor dining opportunities, street–level activations, new restaurants, and public art, too. People returning to their offices and visitors returning to TRANSPORTATION & CONNECTIVITY 29 Downtown will see the transformation that continues to happen here. We will also continue to plan for capital projects, including the reimagination of the Smithfield Street corridor, which will lay the DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT 35 foundation to create a premier Downtown destination once again. While 2020 was a year like no other, we still have a lot to look forward to.

Outside, beautifully carved niches hinted at the arts education that awaited students inside. Inside, the structure would become a grand showcase of marble and brass, with sculptures and frescos greeting visitors at every turn. The building houses the CFA Office of the Dean, as well as the School of Architecture offices, classrooms, wood shop and laboratories; the School of Art offices and studios; the School of Music offices, practice rooms and Vlahakis Recording Studio; the Frank-Ratchye STUDIO for Creative Inquiry; the Alumni Recital Hall; Kresge Theater; and the Zebra Lounge. Carnegie Mellon’s College of Fine Arts has become one of the nation’s — and the world’s — leaders in architecture, art, design, drama and music education. This is the college that brought the world pop artist Andy Warhol; “Wicked” and “Pippin” composer Stephen Schwartz; stage and screen stars Holly Hunter, Ted Danson, Megan Hilty, Christian Borle, Judith Light, Cherry Jones and Zachary Quinto; renowned architects Oscar Harris and Roger Duffy; Boston Pops Conductor Keith Lockhart; pianist/ composer Ricky Ian Gordon; award-winning soprano Lisa Vroman; and countless others. Well into its second century of existence, CFA continues to set the standards for excellence in professional education within a top-tier research university setting.

  • Imagined Communities: Awareness, Information Sharing, and Privacy on the Facebook Pre-Proceedings Version
    Imagined Communities: Awareness, Information Sharing, and Privacy on the Facebook Pre-proceedings version. Privacy Enhancing Technologies Workshop (PET), 2006 Alessandro Acquisti1 and Ralph Gross2 1 H. John Heinz III School of Public Policy and Management 2 Data Privacy Laboratory, School of Computer Science Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA 15213 Abstract. Online social networks such as Friendster, MySpace, or the Facebook have experienced exponential growth in membership in recent years. These networks offer attractive means for inter- action and communication, but also raise privacy and security concerns. In this study we survey a representative sample of the members of the Facebook (a social network for colleges and high schools) at a US academic institution, and compare the survey data to information retrieved from the net- work itself. We look for underlying demographic or behavioral differences between the communities of the network’s members and non-members; we analyze the impact of privacy concerns on members’ behavior; we compare members’ stated attitudes with actual behavior; and we document the changes in behavior subsequent to privacy-related information exposure. We find that an individual’s privacy concerns are only a weak predictor of his membership to the network. Also privacy concerned individ- uals join the network and reveal great amounts of personal information. Some manage their privacy concerns by trusting their ability to control the information they provide and the external access to it. However, we also find evidence of members’ misconceptions about the online community’s actual size and composition, and about the visibility of members’ profiles. 1 Introduction “Students living in the scholarship halls [of Kansas University] were written up in early February for pictures on facebook.com that indicated a party violating the scholarship halls alcohol policy” [1].
