From New York Living --
Old World Charm Has Hold On Buyers
To
paraphrase Will Rogers: "Buy prewar. They're not making
them anymore." In Manhattan's most sizzling real estate
market, prewar units are among the most sought after in the city.
The short definition of "prewar" is "everything
built before 1940." But to people searching for homes in
New York City, the word conjures up visions of family-size apartments
with rooms of gracious, if not downright grand, proportions,
in buildings renowned for their elegant lobbies.
In fact, the high ceilings, spaciousness, and architectural
detailing, both on the building exteriors and within the apartments,
are so desirable that some builders are emulating these characteristics
in new construction. But "you can't build prewar,"
and the copied details are only skin deep....

Wired for News
Whatever the
market is for your company's press release, newswires can help
you to hit your target accurately, effectively and economically
in today's shifting media environment.
The leading wire services are PR Newswire (PRN), and Business
Wire (BW). PRN is the older and the larger of the two, but BW
is catching up fast, laying claim to 48% of the market. The two
are comparable in their ability to deliver for their clients
on both sides of the fence. The PR pro will be able to reach
a highly refined target audience using either; the media client
will subscribe to both because not to do so would be to miss
up to half the news. In the words of BW executive vice president
Cathy Baron Tamraz, "People don't 'double plant' anymore."...

A Safety Net for
Ex-Racers
Eighteen
years ago, the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation was founded to offer
lifetime haven to Thoroughbreds when they can no longer race. Since then,
it has grown to become the nation's largest Thoroughbred rescue operation,
and hundreds upon hundreds of horses whose lives were in jeopardy when
their track careers came to an end have instead been given a new start in
life.
"From the outset," said founder and chairperson Monique
S. Koehler, "the New York Racing Association (NYRA) has stood beside us in
our conviction that Thoroughbreds deserve a future and that, through our
unique vocational training programs, the horses' future offers rewards....

TRF Division Welcomes First Retired Racehorses
The gates swung open at 10 a.m.
on Tuesday, January 16, to welcome the first retired racehorses
to the new Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation Florida Division
farm in Ocala. Situated on 120 lush acres at the Marion County
Correctional Institution (MCCI), it becomes the fourth major
facility in the TRF's pioneering network of Thoroughbred rescue
operations, in which imperiled former racehorses give new purpose
in life to the prison inmates who are their caretakers.
The new facility will eventually accommodate approximately
50 Thoroughbreds. Among the first to take up residence at MCCI
will be Carterista, a Florida-bred chestnut gelding who raced
most of his lengthy career in the Sunshine State....
