  <description>Forty six years ago, Miriam Michael and Yvette Siegel set out to create a unique educational opportunity for children with learning difficulties.  The original enrollment of five students has grown to 179 today, and more than 1,000 students have been touched by our founders' vision. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;At the Stephen Gaynor School, our mission remains the same as the day we opened our doors:  To create a nurturing environment in which children with learning differences can grow academically, socially and emotionally.  Our dedicated, distinguished faculty and staff provide a highly individualized and flexible educational program to meet our students' individual needs. Our approach, based on nearly five decades of experience and research, begins and ends with building self-esteem through academic success. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Funds raised from the 2009 Gaynor Gala will support the expansion of our Arts program, and help us continue to provide each child with the tools and strategies to grow and develop as successful learners. A portion of the proceeds will also support the Stephen Gaynor School Community Learning Center, an after school reading program that provides free tutoring to underserved students from the New York City public schools. </description>

      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>Your lifestyle demands a vehicle that is practical. Your heart desires a sportscar. Typically for Porsche, this is a contradiction that can be reconciled. Introducing the new Panamera 4S. A four-seater with all-wheel drive, driving dynamics and performance figures to match many a sporty two-seater. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; 

Athletic and powerful, its natural home is the open road. With four occupants seated in comfort and all their luggage, it still retains a sportscar feel. Driving for the sheer pleasure of it. This is driving as we understand it, and there is no better way to demonstrate it than in the new Panamera 4S.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; 

Distinctive features on the exterior of the Panamera 4S include the rear logo and the side air intakes with titanium-coloured double slats situated in the front apron. Similarly characteristic are the fins on the black rear apron diffuser. The 18-inch Panamera S wheels and silver-coloured brake calipers are fitted as standard.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; 

The 4.8-litre V8 naturally aspirated engine of the new Panamera 4S generates 294 kW (400 hp) and 500 Nm torque. Fitted as standard, the 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) enables smooth gear changes with no discernible interruption in the flow of power, which is transmitted to the intelligent all-wheel drive of the Porsche Traction Management (PTM) &#8211; also featured as standard. By means of an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch, drive force is distributed between the front and rear axles for optimum traction and stability as the driving situation demands.</description>
