Reviews of this property
I just want to add my comment to the many that Josè Manuel already got.. everything is charming and lovely, from the position to the furnitures..
excellent place to visit Madrid and live in the centre of a the wonderful "barrio" La Latina.
few words to say... thank you Josè Manuel for all, thank you for your kind friendship, for your availability and for every thing you provided to us.
we felt exactly at home..
see you very soon, I promise
We have enjoyed to stay in the appartment. It does satisfay our expactactions. It was well equiped with modern furniture, very clean and quit. We are surprised about the fruit bowl on the table. The appartment is placed near to the city so that we can walked to all sightseeing places in madrid e.g. palacio real, prado museum, gran via, plaza mayor, rastro market etc.
Jose Manuel is a very empathic host He gave us many information arround the places of the appartment so we can start to discover the area. We wil hope to stay there again.
I'd start with the final conclusion , the accommodation was really what we were looking for, right in the middle of the city, well equipped and a quiet place so we could sleep very well . If you want to explore center of Madrid , this apartment is so well located that you can just walk towards the main attractions of the city.
Don Jose was a FANTASTC host, really friendly , he and his nice wife showed us the surrounding area and some very interesting stories about some of those places . We were impressed ! In just few days I consider we became AMIGOS :) and hope we'll have the opportunity to go back again !
I really recommend this flat and Don Jose !
Apartment is located in a very good location. Just 2 mins. walk from La Latina metro station. It is a very comfortable apartment for 2-3 people. Plaza Major and Sol are easily reachable by walk.
Jose Manuel was a very good host. He was waiting for my arrival late in the night on Christmas eve and had also arranged a fruit basket in the apartment as all the restaurants and bars were closed for the night!
Highly recommended!
Reasonable place host the floor in an excellent location next to the Latin. Very comfortable but best floor is its owner, SUPERATENTO. Maps, guide brief walk, constant contact, the deal is unbeatable.
EStupendo anfitrión, el piso en una ubicación excelente al lado de la latina. Muy comfortable pero lo mejor del piso es su dueño, SUPERATENTO. Mapas, guía breve a pie, contacto permanente, es INMEJORABLE el trato.
De 10.
I spent a few days with my partner in the apartment of Jose Manuel. Very timely to give us the keys (in fact the bus was delayed about 15 minutes and arrived a little late with no problem), he offered to go get us to the subway, let coffee, breakfast ... very friendly. He gave subway maps etc., and even bother to write to advise various activities that we could do in the city. The apartment is beautiful, even bigger than it appears in photos. The air conditioning and internet work perfectly. A beautiful location, situated luxury (a few minutes from the main square, a few steps from the subway and a great neighborhood for the environment). Thank you very much for everything Jose Manuel. No facilities.
Estuve unos días con mi pareja en el apartamento de José Manuel. Muy puntual para darnos las llaves (de hecho el bus se retrasó unos 15 minutos y llegamos un poquito tarde y sin ningún problema), se ofreció a ir a buscarnos al metro, nos dejó café, desayuno...muy amable. Nos dio mapas del metro etcétera, e incluso se molestó en escribirnos para recomendarnos actividades varias que podíamos hacer en la ciudad. El apartamento es precioso, incluso más grande de lo que aparece en las fotos. El aire acondicionado y el internet funcionan perfectamente. Un sitio precioso, situado de lujo (a pocos minutos de la plaza mayor, a muy pocos pasos del metro, y en un barrio genial por el ambiente). Muchas gracias por todo Jose Manuel. Repetiría sin duda.
Good morning. José Manuel is a very friendly and helpful host. We find a quiet and clean apartment with everything necesario.Muy convenient. Repeat.
Buenos días. José Manuel es un anfitrión muy amable y servicial. Nos encontramos con un apartamento limpio y silencioso con todo lo necesario.Muy bien situado. Repetiría.
¡¡¡Muchas gracias Jose Manuel !!! He was very helpful and we were in regular contact prior to our arrival and during the stay at the apartment for anything! José Manuel showed me the possibilities offered by the district and benefits from its superb location, walking distance of the main squares! The apparent is conveniently located and extremely quiet, as between two courtyards! It is certainly small but well arranged so perfect for a stay in Madrid independently and inexpensively as an economic supermarket is a few minutes walk from the apartment.
¡¡¡Muchas gracias José Manuel!!! Il s'est montré très prévenant et nous étions en contact régulier avant notre arrivée et pendant le séjour à l'appartement pour quoique ce soit! José Manuel m'a montré les différentes possibilités qu'offrait le quartier et les avantages de son superbe emplacement, à quelques minutes à pied des places principales! L'apparent est donc idéalement situé et extrêment calme, car entre deux cours intérieures! Il est certes petit mais bien agencé donc parfait pour un séjour à Madrid en toute autonomie et à moindres frais car un supermarché économique est à quelques minutes à pied de l'appartement.
Aunque estuvimos una única noche, el recibimiento de Jose Manuel fue perfecto, muy atento y preocupándose por todo detalle. El piso está muy bien estructurado y para 3/4 personas es genial, además la zona en la cuál está es la Latina, dónde hay muchísimo ambiente.
Lo aconsejamos sin ningun duda y repetiremos

Rated 1 out of 5Â by 1 reviewer.
Rated 1 out of 5Â by EatandRun Not as pictured Bought these bowls and planned to serve snacks from them at an upcoming party. What the picture doesn't show is that the lotus petals to not meet each other completely, leaving 4 gaps at the bottom of each bowl. The gaps are large enough that items put in the bowl can come out of the bowl and create a big mess. Very poor design. May 1, 2016

Andrew Ference ready to return from suspension
|02.01.12 at 6:12 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Andrew Ference has always prided himself on being a clean player, so is he worried his reputation has been tarnished after his three-game suspension for his hit on Rangers forward Ryan McDonagh?
"I don't have to register in my neighborhood, so'¦ I still think it's alright," Ference said after Wednesday's practice.
Ference finished serving the suspension, the first of his career, Tuesday night against the Senators. He likened sitting the games out to being an injured player, as he was anxious to get back on the ice but was forced to watch the games from the press box. After plenty of time off (because the All-Star break came in the middle of the suspension, Ference might have a bit more rust after going 11 days without game action), but he's done the typical things — mainly extra work in practice — to stay sharp.
Ference was suspended by league disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan for pushing McDonagh into the end boards when the two were chasing the puck in the Rangers' zone in overtime on Jan. 21. Ference has repeatedly expressed regret over how the play unfolded, but maintains that he wouldn't approach a similar play differently.
"I mean, there's not a whole lot of options," Ference said. "The thing about that play is — and I kind of, just for my own amusement watched the games — and that type of play happens a lot in the game. It doesn't usually result in a guy falling. It's usually a little slower speed, but that situation happens all the time and situations where guys can fall awkwardly. It's a common thing, it just doesn't happen that often because guys have good balance and stay up. Next time I'll get the puck and score I guess.
"Every situation is different, but honestly, if that situation happens, you try to let up and you try to do what I did. You don't plant them into the boards, you try to let up as much as possible and hope things work out."

RE: st: Data Entry
"Nick Cox" <email@example.com>
RE: st: Data Entry
Thu, 7 Aug 2008 16:46:38 +0100
Sorry, this isn't clear to me: Why is use of a Stata file by two people any more problematic than use of (say) an Access or Excel file?
Eduardo Palencia Herrej¾n
You are probably right, Nick, but when data must be introduced by a
couple of persons, as is the case, direct data entry into the same
Stata file becomes problematic. I think the best solution could be a
friendly form (Access? Epidata?), checking the data at its entry, and
saving it in a file to be imported to Stata using a do file.
The data I need to analize are quite simple: most of them are daily
counts of activity in an ICU.
2008/8/5 Nick Cox <email@example.com>:
> First off, "data entry" may not mean exactly the same to all.
> Does that mean that you -- or someone else -- is typing data directly
> into a program?
> (i.e. data do not already exist as some file or files)
> Does that mean that data values are checked at time of input and users

> Otherwise, my position on this on this is eccentric: I like using Stata

Add visually appealing style with this comet white Tiffany style glass mini pendant.More Details >
Featuring striking Comet White Tiffany style glass contrasted with matte black finish hardware, this mini pendant from the Lumino Collection is a great way to augment your home decor.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
What a difference it made in the entire look of my kitchen to add pendant lights over the island. This is definitely a more stylish look and the lights give off a nice, warm glow. It updated our kitchen for very little investment. The canisters are smaller than typical canister lights so I had to buy disk adapters and paint them to match the base which was an additional cost if you're replacing typical canister lights in that space.

Raavan is Abhishek's ticket to super-stardom
Raavan is an acid test for everyone associated with it, mainly Abhishek Bachchan. The stakes are high if you accept the challenge of a solo lead. While the Mani Ratnam - Abhishek Bachchan combo worked wonders in Guru, there's optimism that the duo would scale dizzy heights of success this time. The general feedback after watching glimpses of the film was, Abhishek has truly arrived!
So what happens if Raavan works? It would catapult Abhishek to the top bracket overnight. If you look at Abhishek's body of work, you'd realize that the talented actor hasn't tasted (solo) success after Guru. The two solo starrers - Drona and Delhi-6 failed to do the trick, while Dostana and Paa were successes no doubt, but Abhishek had to share the laurels with other actors.
The promotions of Raavan have kick-started with a bang and there's a strong possibility that it would turn out to be the big ticket to super-stardom for Abhishek.

Annette Funicello: 'America's Sweetheart'
There are some news items that just stop you short and take you back.
Annette Funicello has died at the age of 70 from complications of multiple sclerosis. That just doesn't seem right. Who knew Annette Funicello was 70?
Who knew Mouseketeers could pass away?
Annette Funicello was, it's fair to say the most famous of all the Mouseketeers, which included Cheryl and Cubby and Karen and Doreen and head Mouse man Jimmy. For a generation of people who were adolescents in the mid-1950s, a time when Walt Disney had ventured into television with his own nighttime show, he invented the Mickey Mouse Club which aired right before supper (and probably put a dent into "It's Howdy Doody Time" for younger children) in American households all across the land.
Funicello had talent—she took lessons in everything, including singing, dancing and acting. Her appeal was to look very pretty and remain wholesome at the same because the show's and her audience was pre-teeners to early teens which were nothing like the know-about-everything counterparts today. They had fan magazines, they had television and movies. They had the beginnings of rock and roll.
Girls and young boys watched the shows—but the minute you went out for football, you stopped watching because, well, it was "The Mickey Mouse Cub" for God's sake. How weenie can you get? You watched "American Bandstand" instead where you could learn the hand jive or jitterbug and the girls from Philly looked a lot older than the girls in your small town home room.
Funicello had a number of hit singles, including "Tall Paul," "O Dio Mio," "First Name Initial" and "Blame It on the Bossa Nova," and starred in a number of Disney vehicles including "Babes in Toyland." Her career took a step toward iconic when she and Frankie Avalon starred in as series of serenely innocent beach movies in which her navel—show it, not show it—became an object of much fan discussion. The films, made by Roger Corman at low budget American International, nevertheless stayed in the public memory: "Beach Party," "Beach Blanket Bingo" and "How to Stuff a Wild Bikini." It was innocent and very entertaining stuff by any standard.
She had been suffering from MS at a debilitating pace and, according to reports, had been in a MS coma for some time.
Frankie Avalon and Paul Anka, who wrote some of her songs, mourned her passing as did Britney Spears, also an alum of the Disney factory.
We're going to miss you, Annette. Why? Because we liked you.

Robert Pattinson Says He'll Be Fat Someday! See What The 'Twilight' Cast Would Look Like With A Few Extra Pounds!
Browse our gallery of the 'Twilight' cast as plus-size stars. We'd love them through thick or thin.
Robert Pattinson's most recent interview in Vanity Fair was also his most revealing — and the most shocking nugget he dropped was that he's a pig! "I'm, like, a compulsive eater," Rob tells the magazine. "I'm going to be so fat when I'm older, it's ridiculous." We know Rob's just kidding, but his comment got us thinking: What would Rob (and the rest of the Twilight cast) look like with a few extra pounds on them?
The result: Kristen Stewart, Ashley Greene and Nikki Reed would still look beautiful, while Taylor Lautner, Kellan Lutz and the boys would have cheeks a-plenty.

Under Trachtenberg's
leadership, GW opened or renovated nearly
a dozen buildings. Among them: The Media
and Public Affairs Building opened on the
corner of 21st and H Streets in 2001.
Julie Woodford
According to the District of Columbia,
Dec. 4, 2006, was Stephen Joel Trachtenberg Day
in Washington. The mayor's proclamation
praised Trachtenberg as "one who exemplified
the spirit, vitality, and deeds that enhanced
the quality of life in the District of Columbia."
But for The George Washington University students,
faculty, neighbors, and many in the city of Washington,
every day for the past 19 plus years has been
Stephen Joel Trachtenberg Day. Trachtenberg has
excited, exhorted, encouraged—and occasionally
infuriated—some or all of them. He wouldn't
have it any other way.
When he came to Washington in 1987 to meet with
the search committee seeking a University president
to follow Lloyd Elliott, "They asked me
if I wanted to challenge myself at a university
whose faculty wanted to go to the next level,
" Trachtenberg recalls. "They wanted
a president to work with them to make that happen."
What he found was "an established university
that had room to grow and was uniquely positioned
to add to its academic reputation," Trachtenberg
says. He also found a campus that didn't
look like a campus and a faculty and a student
body who felt that they couldn't compare
to the other "George" in town. In
addition, GW wasn't taking full advantage
of one of its greatest assets—its location
at the heart of the nation's capital. For
a Brooklyn-born city boy like Trachtenberg, that
was an opportunity to be relished. Capitalizing
on the capital would be a win-win for both the
city and the university, he believed.
Nearly 20 years later, Trachtenberg has surpassed
many of his original aspirations and, in the words
of The Washington Post, "helped
transform the school from a sleepy institution
to one of national stature." In the process,
he became the longest-serving university president
in Washington in an era where university presidents
who last more than a decade are as rare as spotted
Many of his accomplishments are visible and quantifiable.
For example, Trachtenberg raised the University's
endowment from $200 million to $1 billion.
But the full impact Trachtenberg has had requires
a long-range view. "It's not the stones,
it's the mosaic," he says. "There
are lots of bits and pieces. Take for example
our school of public health: These things, once
you develop them, take on a life of their own
that carries them forward. That school is going
to make a contribution to the city, to the country,
and to the world."
Bricks and mortar do not make a university, but
they do make a university more attractive to both
the faculty and students, Trachtenberg believes.
"It's not an edifice complex. You
are building buildings because they are tools
for academic work and for scholarship,"
he says.
Under Trachtenberg's leadership, GW opened
or renovated nearly a dozen buildings, including
the Media and Public Affairs Building and the
establishment within of the Luther W. Brady Art
Gallery, the Annette and Theodore Lerner Family
Health and Wellness Center, and 1957 E Street,
home to GW's Elliott School of International
Affairs and the Department of Geography. The Marc
C. Abrams Great Hall was dedicated in 2002, J
Street Dining in the Marvin Center was completed
in 2004, and Duquès Hall, home to the School
of Business, opened in 2006. There also are five
new residence halls on the Foggy Bottom Campus.
The University substantially upgraded its library
system—there are more than two million books
in its libraries now and GW was accepted for membership
in the prestigious Association of Research Libraries.
At the same time, GW added two new campuses.
The 95-acre Virginia Campus in Ashburn, Va., opened
in 1991 with graduate programs in transportation
safety and security, public health and homeland
security, professional and executive education,
and information technology and telecommunications.
The Virginia Campus has more than a dozen laboratories
and research centers—fueled by partnerships
with Northern Virginia's high-tech companies.
In 1997, the University acquired Mount Vernon
College on Foxhall Road in Northwest D.C. Just
three miles west of the Foggy Bottom Campus, the
Mount Vernon Campus is home to classrooms, laboratories,
interior design studios, various athletic and
recreation facilities, and residence halls.
During the Trachtenberg era, GW created the School
of Public Health and Health Services, the School
of Public Policy and Public Administration, the
College of Professional Studies, the Graduate
School of Political Management, and the School
of Media and Public Affairs.
"Buildings alone don't teach,"
Trachtenberg said at the ribbon-cutting ceremony
for Duquès Hall, a new facility for GW's
School of Business. "But... buildings like
Duquès and Funger Halls provide us with
the space, technology, and the modalities that
are absolutely necessary for the contemporary
study of business."
Trachtenberg also oversaw the opening of the
new GW Hospital, the first hospital to open in
the District of Columbia in more than 25 years.
"We have world-class doctors who deserve
a world-class facility," he says.
A major enhancement
to GW's aesthetics during Trachtenberg's
presidency is the addition of the Mid-Campus
Quad and Kogan Plaza, which have become
gathering places for students. Trachtenberg
led many improvements to the campus, including
the addition of banners, statues, and archways.
Julie Woodford
The location and reputation of GW's medical
school and medical center have attracted some
very prominent patients and they, in turn, have
enabled the University to increase its treatment
and research capabilities. The Ronald Reagan Institute
of Emergency Medicine was established in 1991
to honor GW doctors for saving President Reagan's
life. Just last year, Vice President Dick Cheney,
who has been treated by GW cardiac surgeons, and
his wife, Lynne, donated $2.7 million to create
the Richard B. and Lynne V. Cheney Cardiovascular
Institute at GW.
When he arrived at GW, Trachtenberg inherited
a campus that had expanded without rhyme or reason.
As the University grew, it had often acquired
buildings that had been designed for other purposes.
The Foggy Bottom Campus was undistinguished and
undefined. "There is no there there,"
observers quipped.
"He had a sense from the first day that
the campus had the potential for physical and
aesthetic cohesion," says Trachtenberg's
wife Francine Zorn Trachtenberg. "He began
to envision ways to give it form and shape."
"We put a little lipstick on, we put a
little kohl under the eyes," Trachtenberg
says of his campus beautification initiative.
Four large busts of George Washington now grace
the Foggy Bottom Campus. There are iron and stone
gates to delineate the campus, banners in GW colors
on light posts, new brick walkways, outdoor sculptures,
vest-pocket parks, and teak benches. The Mid-Campus
Quad with its Kogan Plaza, fountain, and tempietto
has become a gathering place for students—the
University's outdoor living room.
GW has had a 25 percent increase in full-time
faculty members since 1988, including a 90 percent
increase in the number of women faculty members
and a 175 percent increase in the number of minority
faculty members. "Over time, we've
recruited new, young, scholarly faculty who are
committed to teaching," Trachtenberg says.
"We've provided them with the facilities
they need to do their research—laboratories,
computers, and time. Time can never be underestimated
as a resource for professors."
Improving faculty salaries was another Trachtenberg
goal achieved. Competitive salaries are a powerful
recruiting tool—GW salaries for full professors,
associate professors, and assistant professors
now rank in the 80th percentile or higher, according
to the American Association of University professors.
The number of endowed chairs has more than doubled.
GW also has seven University Professors on campus—a
designation created to attract renowned scholars.
As of Aug. 1, Trachtenberg will join their ranks
as he becomes the University Professor of Public
Service. Upon his departure from GW, this professorship
will forever become the Stephen Joel Trachtenberg
University Professor of Public Service.
During his presidency, Trachtenberg has taken
advantage of GW's closeness to the seats
of power to lure professionals from the federal
government, medical and research centers, businesses,
and international organizations to teach at the
University on a part-time basis. Then there are
the teachers who never see the inside of a classroom—the
world and national leaders who come to speak on
campus. Because of the quality of its students
and faculty, as well as its location, GW has become
such a popular venue that a U.S. senator recently
called Trachtenberg to ask if he could speak on
campus. He had a new book coming out, the senator
said, and he wanted to talk about it at GW.
In addition, students have had opportunities
to learn from topflight broadcast journalists.
Since April 2002, CNN has aired 775 programs including
Crossfire, On The Story, and Reliable
Sources from GW's Media and Public
Affairs Building, with 260 students serving as
production interns and 123,000 students, faculty
members, staff members, area residents, and visitors
to the nation's capital participating as
audience members.
Scholarly research also has flourished during
the Trachtenberg years. Total research funding
has nearly quadrupled from $33 million in 1988
to nearly $132 million in 2006. GW now houses
80 chartered research centers and institutes—up
from 58 in the late 1990s.
The work of these research centers has advanced
scholarship and yielded important real-world benefits.
For example, the Ronald Reagan Institute of Emergency
Medicine had been working for a decade on international
emergency medicine, and disaster response and
prevention when disaster struck on 9/11. The institute
was able to assist FEMA and the World Trade Center,
and was involved in search-and-rescue at the Pentagon.
A $1.5-million grant from the W.M. Keck Foundation
helped to create the Institute for Proteomics
Technology and Applications. The institute benefits
from the combined efforts of three GW schools
and is already developing a protein microscope
to allow researchers to see proteins interacting
in living tissue. The hope is that scientists
will be able to use this information to develop
new treatments for diseases that cause nerve degeneration,
such as ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's
Research at GW runs the gamut from discovering
dinosaurs in China to digging for evidence of
King Solomon in the Israeli desert, to developing
on its Virginia Campus a Drowsy Driver Detection
System, which warns sleepy drivers to pull off
the road.
In addition to the investigative work of GW's
faculty researchers and graduate students, the
George Gamow Undergraduate Research Fellowship
was inaugurated in 2002 to encourage talented
undergraduates by getting them involved in faculty
research projects. The Columbian College of Arts
and Sciences Luther Rice Undergraduate Research
Fellowships, started in 2003, support projects
generated by more advanced students. These kinds
of academic opportunities have helped GW to attract
the best and brightest students in its history.
The George Washington University is now a first
choice school for many high school students. When
Trachtenberg arrived, there were 6,389 applicants
for the freshman class, and 78 percent were admitted.
In 2006, the applicant pool jumped to 19,500,
and the acceptance rate for incoming freshmen
fell to 37 percent.
"We've got a buzz going on now,"
Trachtenberg says.
The ability of GW to attract a bigger and better
applicant pool is no accident. Trachtenberg has
made a conscious and concerted effort to make
GW more visible and more prestigious to a wider
group of students. "I'm going to use
words that most university presidents are embarrassed
by," he says. "At some level, you
have to think of potential students as customers."
To attract these customers, the University stepped
up its efforts in strengthening and expanding
academic programs, facilities, student services,
and athletic programs, among others.
Creating new academic programs geared to high
achievers was one way to demonstrate GW's
capacity to challenge top-ranked students and
show that a big school could think small. The
University Honors Program began in the mid 1990s
with classes of no more than 20, special seminars,
and provocative topics like "The Politics,
Philosophy, and Economics of Poverty." In
2003, the University Writing Program was created,
offering another opportunity for students to study
in small groups. The expectation of the program
is that students will become better writers and
more engaged in their education.
GW also launched select undergraduate programs
that encourage dialogue between students and professors—the
Dean's Seminar Series in Columbian College,
the Dean's Scholars in Globalization Program,
and the Women's Leadership Program on the
Mount Vernon Campus.
Trachtenberg also recognized the importance of
athletics in building a university's visibility
and school spirit. "The very best students
like to come to a school where there is good athletic
opportunity for them and good athletic performance
by the school's teams," he says. He
points to Duke and Stanford as universities that
boast both academic excellence and outstanding
athletic programs.
GW's basketball
program flourished during Trachtenberg's
tenure. Here, President Bill Clinton, daughter
Chelsea, and Chelsea's friend join
President Trachtenberg, his wife, Francine,
and their son, Ben, in the Charles E. Smith
Athletic Center for the GW v. U. Mass game
on Feb. 4, 1995. GW defeated U. Mass., 78–75.
Enter men's basketball coach Mike Jarvis.
Hired to coach the Colonials in 1990, he led GW
to three NCAA tournament appearances, including
the "Sweet Sixteen" in 1993. In the
2005-06 season, the men's team went undefeated
in regular season A-10 play under leadership of
current coach Karl Hobbs. This season, longtime
women's coach Joe McKeown, who has coached
his GW team to 13 NCAA appearances, was named
A-10 coach of the year for the fifth time after
leading his team to an undefeated A-10 regular
season. Once somewhat empty during home games,
GW's Charles E. Smith Athletic Center now
vibrates during home games, with cheering fans
raising the roof.
At the same time, Trachtenberg helped to break
down financial barriers that might keep excellent
students out of GW. Since 1987, student financial
aid expenditures have risen from $14 million to
$118 million. To take the mystery out of tuition
planning, he created the Fixed-Tuition and Guaranteed
Institutional Financial Assistance Program in
2004. Incoming freshmen are guaranteed that their
tuition costs will remain the same for their full-time
undergraduate studies for up to five years. Likewise,
their minimum financial assistance is guaranteed
for up to 10 semesters. Their aid amount can increase
but not drop below the minimum they are granted
when they come to GW.
The first year he was president of GW, Steve
Trachtenberg, who is Jewish, spent every other
Sunday at one of the city's many churches.
It was a way to say that the University wasn't
just in Washington, it was inexorably linked to
the city. GW is the largest private employer in
the District and many of its employees and alums
live in D.C. Trachtenberg has chaired the D.C.
Chamber of Commerce and served on the boards of
the Greater Washington Board of Trade, the Federal
City Council, and the Greater Washington Urban
But Trachtenberg wanted to do more.
"I want people to know us as the University
that contributes more to Washington than any other
institution," he has said.
The Stephen Joel Trachtenberg Scholars program,
started in 1989, has awarded more than $13.5 million
to 93 of D.C. Public Schools' best and brightest
graduates. They receive free tuition, books, fees,
and room and board. Originally called the 21st
Century Scholars Program, GW's Board of
Trustees renamed the program in 1998 to honor
Trachtenberg and to celebrate his first decade
in office. The scholarships, along with other
grants and work-study programs, make GW the largest
single provider of post-high school aid to students
from the D.C. public schools. It's a way
to keep potential community leaders close to home,
Trachtenberg believes.
Many of GW's schools and colleges are involved
directly in supporting D.C. schools. The medical
center is involved in several health outreach
programs to District residents. Teams of undergraduates
and MBA candidates have assisted businesses in
D.C.'s economic development zones. In 2005-06,
more than 2,000 GW students and faculty and staff
members volunteered for more than 54,000 hours
with 66 community partners. GW also works with
more than 300 FRIENDS, a group of Foggy Bottom/West
End residents, to collaborate on neighborhood
Working to make Washington better is enlightened
self-interest, Trachtenberg believes. "It's
the only way to enhance the institution and have
a chance at greatness. And it's fun."
He applauds the arrival of every new restaurant
or new museum. "It's the multiplier
effect," he says. Everything that makes
Washington better makes GW better.
He's particularly pleased about Washington's
new baseball team and city stadium. Trachtenberg
never forgave Walter O'Malley for moving
the Dodgers from his native Brooklyn to Los Angeles.
Trachtenberg credits his wife for making his
career possible. "I'm Francine's
husband. I don't mind being introduced that
way," he says. In fact, the decision to
come to GW was a joint one. When it looked like
Trachtenberg was a serious candidate for the GW
presidency, Francine came with him to Washington
to see the school and the city. Her only other
visit to Washington had been a childhood tour
of the monuments.
Francine remembers her tour of the campus with
Ron Howard, a longtime GW administrator, who was
designated as her guide. Howard had been instructed
that Trachtenberg's visit was confidential.
As they walked around GW, Howard was greeted by
many faculty members and students. He'd
stop to chat but never introduced his companion.
After several of these encounters, Francine told
Howard that she was uncomfortable being treated
like the woman who wasn't there. They compromised—he
introduced her but told no one why she was there.
Francine Zorn Trachtenberg
has served the University in many areas.
President Trachtenberg credits her for making
his career possible. A scholar in her own
right, she has taught courses in the Department
of Fine Arts and Art History. In addition
to opening her home for countless events
for students, the faculty and staff, alumni,
and others, she has vigorously supported
the University's art galleries and
artistic efforts, volunteered her time for
many GW and D.C. causes, and shared her
experiences by participating in the University's
annual Women's Leadership Conference.
Although her field of study was art history,
Francine takes no credit or blame for the bronze
hippopotamus that now graces the center of the
GW campus at H and 21st Streets. The family had
been on vacation and Francine left early to go
back to work. Trachtenberg announced that he had
sent her a gift. Then a delivery truck arrived
with two stone planters and the hippo. She instructed
the driver to unload the planters at the house
and told her husband to find another home for
the hippo.
Trachtenberg presented the bronze beast to the
University's graduating class of 2000. Why
a hippopotamus? GW legend has it that hippos once
frolicked in the Potomac River to the delight
of George and Martha Washington, who watched them
from the porch at Mount Vernon. Hippos were credited
with bringing fertility to the plantation and
luck to anyone who could get close enough to touch
one of the beast's noses.
While there are, in fact, no confirmed reports
of hippo sightings in the annals of American history,
the GW hippo often is pictured in the commemorative
photos families take of students on campus. It
has become an unofficial mascot with its own Web
site. Trachtenberg has received hippos as gifts
ever since.
It comes as no surprise to anyone who knows him
that Trachtenberg has decided to reinvent himself
as a University Professor of Public Service after
he leaves the GW presidency. He had already had
four professional lives—as an energy lawyer,
a Congressional aide cum education-policy wonk,
a doctoral candidate, and an assistant to the
U.S. Commissioner of Education—before he
arrived at Boston University as associate dean
in 1969.
He'll teach an introductory course on public
policy. He also plans to write a book or two.
His first will be an "irreverent memoir"
of a university president, being published by
Simon & Schuster in the fall. Trachtenberg
has often said that university presidents give
up their first amendment rights. He is ready to
reclaim his. "Maybe I'm just beginning,"
he says.
An ardent writer of letters, as evidenced in
Write Me a Letter! The Wit and Wisdom of Stephen
Joel Trachtenberg, published last year by
The New Yorker Co. and its Cartoon Bank, Trachtenberg
often can be found composing correspondence to
associates and friends. Five years ago, Trachtenberg
wrote to Julius Edelstein, senior chancellor emeritus
of the City University of New York on the occasion
of Edelstein's 90th birthday:
"I have taken you as my role model and
recently told the chairman of my board that if
GW will have me... at 70, I plan to do what you
have done, namely, become a professor... do some
teaching and writing, and pretend that I am thinking.
"Francine claims it would be good for us
to take up dancing. Having made it all these years
without dancing, I'm not certain I agree.
...Also, I'd like to have a dog. I always
wanted a dog, but my mother would not permit a
dog when I was a boy since we lived in an apartment
in Brooklyn, and she alleged it would not be fair
to keep a dog cooped up. I remonstrated that the
apartment was good enough for me—to no avail.
I can report with authority that hamsters are
not a satisfactory alternative. Hamsters I had.
On reflection I could have done without them."

Washingtonian magazine.

AmericasMart promotes Savula to head leasing in Buildings 1, 2 and West Wing
April 29, 2010,
Atlanta – The AmericasMart here has promoted David Savula to the newly created post of evp in charge of home and gift showroom leasing for all permanent spaces in Buildings One, Two and Two West Wing.
Savula's promotion, which was approved by action of the AMC board on April 27, follows his seven years as svp in charge of AmericasMart's home showroom leasing -- which AmericasMart noted has grown "significantly under his leadership." Savula's career spans more than 15 years in the home and gift industry, including sales and leasing positions in a North Carolina wholesale marketplace.
AmericasMart Buildings One, Two and Two West Wing together comprise more than four million square feet of the aggregate seven-million-square-foot AmericasMart Atlanta campus. The two buildings and the West Wing area collectively house more than 1,000 permanent home and gift showrooms across 11 product centers, including furniture, accessories, fine linens, area rugs, holiday/floral/home, gift, living/entertaining/gifts, tabletop/accessories, gift/resort, gourmet/housewares, and living.
"Dave's passion for our business and our brand, together with an unfailing commitment to serving customer needs large and small, shines through in all that he does," Portman said. "His charge both recognizes the growing complementary role of home and gift in our marketplace, and positions us to enhance seamless synergy between Buildings One, Two and Two West Wing. This new position sets the stage for a broader AMC strategic initiative to be unveiled in the coming months."
Added Henry Almquist, AMC evp and cfo: "In our business, and particularly in the permanent showroom arena, demonstrably superior customer service carries the day. The home and gift alignment which comes with Dave's leadership will help make a strong service commitment stronger, more visible and more valuable."

Just like many other reports for LoanDepot, I too was scammed by this company. In July 2014, I decided to refinance my home and went online looking for rates. LoanDepot seemed to have a good rate and also talked a good story. The individual I dealt with was actually from my home state, so it seemed a bit more personable. I paid my $495 for an appraisal and it was actually done rather quickly. All my personal financial dealings were also good and passed their requirements. The appraisal came back right around where I said it would, so that was also good news. And then the games began. The underwriter noticed something in my tax return that did not fit with the appraisal. It had to do with the value of the land. I own a small ranch, and yes....the land value does count. However, LoanDepot started to backslide and tried to tell me that the land could not have that kind of value and stated they were going back out to the appraiser for clarification (read here....make him change his opinion of value). I was continually told that I would be contacted by end of business day--those phone calls never came. I would email and my emails would also go unanswered.
I am now over 5 weeks into the process and still getting the run around. I finally told them I was through playing their games and would take my business elsewhere. I went with a local bank that was able to give me the same low rate and in a matter of days, was already through the process LoanDepot is still dragging their feet on. I'm out the $495 appraisal fee, but a lesson learned and I'm done with their games. I would highly recommend that you consider your local banks BEFORE going to this very unprofessional company. One final note, the only time I got an immediate call back was when I tried to report them to the BBB. Within minutes of posting my complaint, someone from LoanDepot called to inquire as to why I was unhappy. At the end of the day, they called to give me the same song and dance about my land value. Just remember that if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. You are much better off dealing with someone local....at least then you can get face to face with them, if needed, rather than hope you get phone calls or emails from unknowns that could be located who knows where. Good luck!

My Glock 19 is a gun that I will probably always keep. I carry a 1911 as much as posible......but.
My Glock is low mainenence, very relyable, and extreamly durable.
Its my #1 choice for when I work a G-class job site.
Most important of all, it wont rust in the in the humid swampland of Florida!
P.S.: As for my feeling on the safty issue. Glock should wright a safty statement in their owners manuel, that would be along the line of . "The firearms safty is located between your ears" or "Dont stick your finger where it doesnt belong! ".

My first handgun was a GLOCK G19, a Christmas present from my wife last year. I have gone to the range, just about weekly since. After I learned to perform the trigger action as mentioned before, I stopped milking the grip and got better groupings.
I like found the field strip/clean/lube/reassembly procedure to be simple and fast.
I now have over 3000 rounds through the weapon and have had one FTF with a Wolf round, and one FTE with a Wolf round (weak cup and saucer grip that an Army guy was showing me). FTR, the other 998 rounds fired/ejected fine, but I will not buy Wolf, for target ammo as long as I can swing the additional $20.00 for a case of Blazer ammo.
Due to keeping the same manual of arms and the above exprence with my G19, my CCW choice, if it ever arrives, (GLOCK Military Sales/War=Time) is a GLOCK G26.
Personally, I think the G19 is probably the best 9mm platform ever created. However, the grip angle does not work for me. They just don't fit comfortably in my hand. I much prefer my P228. That being said:
If I carried a 9mm as a duty weapon, for law enforcement work, I would choose the P228. Because I know that the proper care, it is 100% reliable and I shoot it better than any other 9mm.
If I were going into combat conditions, where I knew that I would only be able to give a pistol a minimal amount of care in very harsh conditions, I would choose the G19, hands down.
"Skin that smokewagon!".
I own several Glocks and I love them all. I carry my Sig sometimes and I carry my S&W 340PD in the hot summer. But I always find myself going back to the Glocks. I can conceal them well for most of the year and I love the way they shoot.

It is better to have your gun and not need it, than to need it and not have it!
You cannot choose the conditions for a gunfight, so train in all conditions!
in my opinion, Glocks and 1911s are at the top of the heap as far as combat handgun platforms go. Unfortunately, I suppose, the closer you get to the top, the less room there is for error when it comes to sloppy gun handling.
I love them both, but have neither :). Soon to change, however.
I got a chance to swing through the used selection on a work trip today.. For some reason there was only one model of Glock in the trade in used pile. G22. I asked the sales clerk how come, and he said that they are impossible to conceal and no one carries them anymore. He then went forth saying how the .40s&w doesn't have many fans, people are either into the 9mm capacity or the .45 power..
Well, by the time he was done I had just about convinced that the G22 I was carrying in the Crossbreed IWB holster at the time was a figment of my imagination.. Oddly enough, the used G22's were all priced within 30 dollars of new. Maybe that was the real reason they were still in the case?
I like my Glock and won't rid myself of it, although I don't see a need for a second.

My review of the Bwoody 4" CAI "Ram Air"...Before and after 0-60 times
Just had it installed yesterday. The throttle response is AMAZING. No lag at all when you stomp on the throttle. Instant feedback. The sound is great too. Deep and throaty. STanding outside of the car you can really here it sucking in the air. At WOT you can really hear it scream in a good way. The insulation on the WK@ is amazing but you can still hear this bad boy sucking in the air. I've also noticed the engine so far is constantly running cold. the needle hardly moves near the hot range. So far according to the EVIC I'm getting roughly about 1.5mpg better than before install. Can't wait to add Borla ATAK to the mix and really see how it sounds. I was a little apprehensive about getting the Bwoody for price alone. After the dry charger and other options it ran close to $500. And I opted to get rid of the washer tank all together. Never really used it anyways before. Who wants a mess of blue fluid all over their pristine truck?! But I'm very happy I went with it. The truck really responds and pulls HARD at any speed or in any gear. I put it in track mode and was blown away by the engine response. I would say that when in AUTO mode it feels like it did in SPORT mode without the intake. Auto mode has incredible shifting and response. I will say I've noticed the truck shifts harder with the CAI. Not in a bad way AT ALL. Its a great "kick" to know the Hemi is saying "yeah man I know you want me to go all out right now. Sit back and relax". Haha. And yes for the record my car talks to me. To wrap up I'm very impressed with it and it was well worth the price. As far as the install, my buddy who is great with cars came over and we were going to install ourselves. I didn't have a rivet gun so I decided to take it to a speed shop here in suburban Chicago. They charged me only $55 and they installed it in about 50 minutes. I'm just not too handy with working on it myself so I figuered I'd let the experts do it. I've got a dyno appointment tomorrow evening to see about after install gains. They claim up to 16hp gained to the wheels. The dyno wont lie! If anyone has any questions feel free to ask! By the way, its warm here in Chicago. After install I did 3 pulls 0-60mph. I would say outside temp was 83 and VERY humid. I did 2 runs in track mode and 1 last run in sport mode. Truck was cold and sitting in my garage for 3 hours with no activity before doing runs. Below are the results. Keep in mind the best 0-60 before Bwoody install I ran was 4.5. That was in ideal conditions during spring time when it was about 62 degrees out. I also have the Pirelli scorpion verde run flats tires if that matters.
1st 0-60 pull in "track mode": 4.5 (used paddle shifters)
2nd 0-60 pull in "track mode": 4.3(no paddle shifters)
3rd 0-60 pull in "Sport mode": 4.4 (no paddle shifters)
I was VERY excited to see the 2nd run come out at 4.3. However apparently I was redlining it way too far in paddle shifter mode haha. I was very suprised to see how big of a difference the CAI has made with throttle response. There were plenty of times before it was installed I'd run a 4.7-4.9. Maybe it's the placebo affect but it seems like the Bwoody really lets this 6.4 liter breathe! I will post up DYNO results later in the week after I get it done tomorrow.
Re: My review of the Bwoody 4" CAI "Ram Air"...Before and after 0-60 times
Man this is a great review. Bwoody is the most expensive yet it is the best CAI.
I think this will be my CAI when I get my SRT soon
BTW, when you got rid of the washer tank, do you mean to windscreen washer tank?
Re: My review of the Bwoody 4" CAI "Ram Air"...Before and after 0-60 times
What shop did you use and in what burb?
I bought the replacement washer tank and was able to retain the front and rear washers. Lost the headlamp washer though. Worth the extra money IMO.
F'n A!!!! Looks like I need to get one of these bad boys.

Pet sitting woes
So today I am home from work ill. I can't cancel my appointment without 24 hr notice.
So instead I laid in bed while my pet sitter came.
I didn't tell her I was home.. Might be a mistake or not.
I hear her take him out and play with him.
I've given her instructions many times with the bite inhibition. He doesn't mouth us anymore, but I think he views her as a playmate.
The whole time she's yelling no or ow, and then says do you want to go in your crate.
She feeds him and takes him out. We've explained NILF and she isn't doing it.
She got in my house at 1104 and left at 1145. I pay for an hour.
Should I bring this up to someone or since she didn't know I was there I can't really do anything.
I would call and complain, you are paying for 1 hour and she was only there for 40 minutes. You talked to her about her doing NILIF and bite inhibition, if she agreed to do it and she isn't then I would want a new dog walker.
Who knows how many times she cuts out of there early. :mad:
You could say you set up a webcam to watch your house, and that's how you know what's going on - if you feel sneaky about being in your bedroom, lol. I'd call and request someone else: someone who can follow instructions, and who'll be there for the amount of time you're paying for. But I'm a hardbutt, lol. It's all about taking care of your dog though, and who knows what kind of other crazy stuff could be going on.
My dog in my kid, I would expect the same level of care and attention as a parent giving care instructions to someone at daycare. <3 keep us updated!
Well she texted me and said how great he did.
I let her know I had been home.
He never acts like that with us.
He does view her as a playmate and her getting frustrated doesn't help.
He is a very stubborn dog, but once he knows your in charge and is given structure with commands and NILF he's a great puppy. But he is a medium/high drive working line that isn't for normal dog owners.
She said he did better today than usual.. Which scares me.
I feel bad but I told her boss too. I pay $500 a month for this service.
He's on a training regimen and I can't have him going backwards because someone isn't following directions correctly.
She said she left early bc she forgot her meds and that's why her alarm went off.
I get that, but she lives less than a mile away.
She seems apologetic and willing to work.
The meds thing sounds like "my dog ate my homework". taking something 15 min later is really not that much of a difference...
You are super kind =) for $500 I would expect to get what I pay for and that's allot. We payed less for Z when he was little and sounds like we got much more out of it. Our puppy sitter was incredible.
How much freedom does she have with your puppy? Does she take him to dog parks or on play dates?
No, I've told her she could take him to the dog park we have in the complex but lately I've seen people just walk in while your in there. I would rather be in control of that. She takes him out potty feeds him bc he needs to eat 3x a day with his megaE. And she can play with him in the house. I pay now for an hour session which is $25 and since I booked for another its $22. During November and December I paid for 2 30
Min sessions which were $17 each.
That's the going rate around here.
The reason I asked about the dog park was because I was wondering where else she might disappoint you. Since she won't follow instructions as far as training goes, or keeping to a schedule....lol, I'm not as nice a person as you are, obviously. But you do need someone in there for the mid-day feeding. What did her boss say about this?

OnClassical digital HD (FLAC); MfiT & standard quality (WAV):
The Fantasy and Fugue on the chorale "Ad nos, ad salutarem undam", S.259 was composed by Franz Liszt in the winter of 1850 and dedicated to Giacomo Meyerbeer who was the composer of the original chorale incorporated in the Act I of the opera Le prophète. The Fantasy and Fugue was given its premiere on October 29, 1852 and published by Breitkopf & Härtel in 1852.
Julius Reubke (March 23, 1834 – June 3, 1858) composed the sonata while he was studying piano and composition in Weimar with Franz Liszt, and living at the Altenburg house. The 94th Psalm Sonata is considered to be inspired by Liszt's Fantasy and Fugue on the chorale Ad nos, ad salutarem undam, Piano Sonata, symphonic poems and Wagner's operas. It is nonetheless a very individual work composed well for the organ, requiring very advanced pedal technique - which testifies to Reubke's much greater ability at the organ than Liszt - and a resourceful use of all the organ's departments.
All tracks may be listened entirely via spotify.

This could be as simple as a bad wheel speed sensor or a speed sensor that is bad as all of those systems rely on information from them to function.
To determine which it is will require a diagnostic, but there is a good chance you might only be looking at a total bill as low as $300
If the price is a concern, get the diagnostic but do not approve any repairs until they tell you what is wrong. The diagnostic should be less than $100

Both Sides of the Fence
A Tosa resident since 1991, Christine walks the dog, cooks but avoids housework, writes and reads, and enjoys the company of friends and strangers. Her job takes her around the state, learning about people's health. A Quaker (no, they don't wear blue hats or sell oatmeal or motor oil), she has been known to stand on both sides of the political and philosophic fence at the same time, which is very uncomfortable when you think about it. She writes about pretty much whatever stops in to visit her busy mind at the moment. One reader described her as "incredibly opinionated but not judgmental." That sounds like a good thing to strive for!
How to go out of business
If you don't read paper anymore, in book or periodical form, read no further.
But if you're one of us who still likes the feel and pliability of paper, who can remember a time when all the families in the neighborhood got not just one of Milwaukee's newspapers but the Sentinel in the morning and the Journal in the evening, come sit here on the complaint couch right next to me.
I'm no marketing expert but I'm pretty sure that making your product harder to find, raising the price, and making it less appealing probably is not the best way to build a customer base.
I now get only the Sunday paper because I'm on the road a lot and didn't want daily papers piling up at the door. But recently I've been home more, and the hankering for a newspaper to go with my coffee set me out in search of one.
First I hit Cranky Al's, which also happens to have some kinda sinful cinnamon rolls. But they'd stopped dispensing papers for awhile. "Too many billing headaches we couldn't get straightened out," Al said. Been there, done that: I understood. (Apparently they've taken care of things and you can now get your Journal Sentinel along with your morning donut there.)
I finally found a newspaper dispensing box outside Bruegger's Bagels and Stone Creek Coffee. When did the price go up to $1.50? And who carries that many quarters? Not me. I gave up.
This morning I sat down to enjoy what was left of the paper after I'd sorted out the advertising circulars. Front page, Crossroads, then Entree to enjoy the recipes. But what's this? No color on the cooking pages? Easy chicken tenders, orzo with peas and parmesan, light salad, zucchini and tomato Casserole, and Sandy D'Amato's pan-fried squid with tabbouleh are indistinguishable blobs in shades of gray.
Of course, if you allow yourself to be driven online (which I suppose is the intention), you get this. Squid lover or not, at least it catches the eye. Parsley'll do that.
I suppose it's been this way for awhile and I just haven't noticed. But it's a bad bean counter idea, driven by someone who doesn't know beans about the food pages, which are are about fantasy--and eye-feasting.
Do it this way, you might as well not bother.

We've bought a Toyota Tarago (pronounced taraaaawgo not tar-ago as I've been saying!) which will see us around the country sometime next year. It's less obtrusive than a big white van which we planned to buy but we have sacrificed headroom, not mine of course, I can easily sit upright at the table in back. More on that in the next post!
Anyways, yes, the famous Opera House was bastardized to the Oprah House for the famous American mogul. It had been all over the television like it was the second coming. Local people were split about it though. Some thought it was great publicity for Australia and will contribute to the american tourism
The bridge had a big red "O" illuminated at night, and there were also two sets of fireworks for her private get togethers in the botanical gardens at night. From the apartment we could see and hear the crowds cheering and also got to hear a bit of the two shows which were outdoor. It seems like it all was a great success, save for Hugh Jackman zip-lining from the roof of the Opera House into the rigging at the stage when the brakes failed. Poor chap could've lost an eye!
Anyways, here's some fireworks vids... Don't mind us idiots talking, new camera.
