José Manuel Catalá Mazuecos (born 1 January 1985) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Racing de Ferrol as a central defender or a left back.
Born in Villajoyosa, Alicante, Valencian Community, Catalá emerged through local Valencia CF's youth ranks, making his senior debuts in Segunda División B, where he successively represented hometown's Villajoyosa CF, Valencia CF Mestalla and Alicante CF, helping the latter promote to Segunda División in 2008.
After suffering immediate relegation with Alicante, he continued in that level with Villarreal CF's B-team, being instrumental (2,444 minutes) as the team retained its division status in its first-ever year in the category.
Catalá was promoted to the first team for the 2010–11 season, aged already 25. He managed to provide stiff competition to veteran Joan Capdevila, inclusively relegating the European and World Champion to the bench in some matches. He finished his first year in La Liga with 30 official games to his credit – 16 in the league, five in the Copa del Rey and nine in the team's semifinal run in the UEFA Europa League – opening the score on 3 January 2011 in a 2–0 home win against UD Almería, as the team eventually finished fourth and qualified to the UEFA Champions League.
Paco is a Spanish nickname for Francisco. Another nickname for Francisco is Pancho.
One theory says that the nickname has its origins in Saint Francis of Assisi, who was the father of the Franciscan order. His name was written, in Latin, by the order as Pater Communitatis (Father of the community); hence, "Paco" was obtained by taking the first syllable of each word.. Another possibility is it comes from little children's defective pronunciation of their name as "Paquico".
Sometimes people with the name Francisco are also called Kiko. However, this nickname is more commonly used for Federico, Ricardo, or Enrique.
Paco is also a slang term for cocaine paste.
El documental de 50 minuts és un passeig per les imatges més grotesques del NODO a les quals s’han afegit uns valuosíssims retalls provinents del magatzem anomenat de descartes del noticiari que no havien estat mai projectats públicament. La combinació entre les imatges del que es deia i les que s’amagaven és com a mínim sorprenent i, a vegades, mostren la subtilesa de la censura, mentre que, en altres, evidencien la manipulació del règim a l’hora de no mostrar la decrepitud del “caudillo”. Franco volia que Espanya fos un país fantàstic i el NO-DO era el millor vehicle per transmetre aquesta imatge de felicitat col•lectiva, de perfecció política i de bravura en la figura del seu líder. Era la seva manera de fer cinema, era el cine de Paco.

The U.S. Federal Reserve and the ECB are playing a similar role in terms of supervision and contributing to financial stability, says José Manuel González Paramo. The Eurozone needs more fiscal and economic integration as it was established with almost no governance. However, the ECB does a lot more than simply print money as it has many more options in its toolbox. Subscribe now to IESE News: http://www.iese.edu/Aplicaciones/News/index.asp?lang=en
