Upcoming Event
Westdale groups pay $48.5M for two Durham apartment communities
- Amanda Hoyle
- Staff Writer - Triangle Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
The Chicago real estate firm Westdale Investment Partners has gone on a shopping spree in Durham during the past three weeks, participating in deals for two apartment communities that sold for nearly $48.5 million.
Westdale was a lead investor in partnerships that paid $19.7 million for the 345-unit Beech Lake Apartments at 4800 University Dr., in late December, according to Durham County deed records and a news release from the property's former owner, Palatine Capital Partners of New York.
Then on Jan. 13, another partnership led by Westdale called Westdale Lenox LLC paid $28.8 million for the 292-unit Lenox at Patterson Place community at 100 Rose Garden Lane, according to a news release from the property's previous owner, The Connor Group of Centerville, Ohio.
The Connor Group had acquired Lenox at Patterson Place in December 2009 for nearly $19.1 million and provided a 107 percent return for its investors within 25 months, said managing partner Larry Connor. The community was built in 1999.
The Lenox at Patterson Place property was The Connor Group's second disposition in the Triangle market in the last three months. It had sold the 300-unit Waterford Apartments in Morrisville to SG Waterford for $28.5 million in October. In the Triangle, Connor Group still owns the Atria at Crabtree Valley, Carrington Apartments and Wakefield Glen, all in Raleigh, as well as Parc at University Tower in Durham.
Palatine Capital, through a joint-venture with Somerset Partners, had paid $15.6 million for the Beech Lake Apartments community in September 2009.
"We couldn't be happier with this sale," said Alex Hurst, founder and managing partner of Palatine Capital Partners, in a news release. "We substantially improved Beech Lake's physical condition, and were able to grow rents by more than 11 percent during our hold period."

By Stewart Stogel
UNITED NATIONS -- United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, in office only 16 months, faces a staff in revolt.
The personally affable and easygoing U.N. chief was stunned by a vote of no confidence taken by the U.N. Staff Union on late last week.
The union, representing more than 5,000 employees at the New York City headquarters, sent a letter on Friday to Ban explaining their action, a copy of which was obtained by NewsMax.
In it, Staff Union pPresident Stephen Kisambira complains about Ban's "lack of access" to the union leadership:
"We have sought to meet with you, since you assumed office, to discuss directly with you simmering issues of concern to staff. You have accorded us a couple of perfunctory meetings. You have not responded to a single letter or resolution we have sent you. The indifference and lack of appropriate response in the past pressed the staff to express a vote of no confidence in senior administration officials, including the secretary-general."
Kisambira laments that the relationship with the office of the secretary-general, already combative with Kofi Annan, has actually gotten worse since Ban assumed office on Jan. 1, 2007.
Among the items the union says Ban and his staff have chosen to ignore are costs of living adjustments, a U.N. "stimulus" package for USA-based staff similar to President Bush's tax refund (U.N. employees pay a staff assessment but no U.S. taxes) and the allocation of temporary office space while U.N. headquarters undergoes a 5-year renovation.
The issue of staff safety overseas was also an issue of concern.
Last December, U.N. offices in Algeria were attacked by al-Qaida, leaving 22 dead and 40 wounded. The Algeria attack, the worst in U.N. history, surpassed the 2003 bombing of the world body's Baghdad headquarters that left 17 dead.
The trend, according to the Staff Union, has resulted in alleged incompetence by senior management from the previous Annan administration being allowed to continue.
As an example, they point to the recent appointment of Angela Kane (Germany) to the post of Under Secretary-General for Management despite repeated charges of mismanagement in past U.N. posts and numerous subsequent investigations that have criticized her performance.
Senior U.N. officials have privately expressed their "doubts" over the Ban appointment.
Another example of mismanagement cited by the Union is the vulnerability of the U.N.'s computer system.
In its letter to Ban it is charged that the computer system is "vulnerable to unauthorized use and access, abuse and breach of confidentiality especially with regard to communication by e-mail."
Coincidentally, Ban's U.N. Web site was hacked in August 2007.
The Web site was off-line for almost a day with no explanation from the U.N. as to how the attack took place or who was responsible.
Unfortunately for Ban, many inside the U.N.'s diplomatic corps express similar "concerns" regarding the secretary-general's "performance."
"It is incredible. He (Ban) has been in office a year and a half and he still does not understand how the United Nations works," confessed a veteran U.N. diplomat.
U.S. diplomats have remained silent on the latest turn of events.
It is noteworthy that none of the U.N.'s permanent five members (U.S., U.K., Russia, China and France), the de-facto governing broad of the world body, have come to the defense of the secretary-general.
Ban's office had no comment.

Mario Seemingly infinite Mario parodies! Some of the funniest Flash movies ever conceived!
Author Comments
The first parody of Power Star 4 ever.
I've been working on this ever since I saw Power Star 4 on the Sun Studios forums. It's one of the most epic movies I've ever seen, so I decided to go ahead and parody it. I made this movie in a little over a week, working as often as I possibly could, so I hope you get some laughs out of my efforts. It's a little over five minutes long, so grab about half as much popcorn as you would have during the real Power Star finale.
Before anyone asks, no, I didn't decompile the real movie just to get some sprites. All the customs are by me. And yes, that is my voice acting. I should have gotten D-Mac to do it. He owns.
Oh yeah, there's an easter egg somewhere in the menu :)
Rated 5 / 5 stars
i love the plot twists and such, and when u mentioned the knife and suddenly it was "returned it to Wal-Mart" i laughed my butt off!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Literal easter egg. :D
This was hilarious in so many ways. I didn't really like the whole everybody dies scenario.
I like how Mario's flailing his arms and on fire at the menu.
Congratulations, excellent animation. An excellent parody of an excellent series.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
but funny................i liked the slap fight and when luigi said "Mario,did you know...YOU WERE ADOPTED!!!!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahah aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!
Very funny! It's the funniest parody ever!(it is more funny if you first see the movie)!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
luigi is right...
you know luigi is right mario was adopted but so was luigi.
like i remember the super nintendo game where u were yoshi and had to bring baby mario to baby luigi.
so technicaly they both were adopted by a yoshi.
BTW:mario isn't dead he just hit a wall u can tell cause u can hear him groaning after the colission.
oh and ps: THIS IS THE BEST SERIES EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
u should make more .

Modifications to Ivor Lewis esophagectomy
Department of General Surgery, Georgetown University Hospital, Washington, DC 20008, USA.
Interactive Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery
(Impact Factor: 1.11).
DOI: 10.1510/icvts.2010.240853
Source: PubMed
ABSTRACT The surgical approach to esophagectomy is variable. A number of factors are considered when determining the optimal approach to esophagectomy: location and extent of disease, fibrosis, additional patient factors and surgeon preference. One of the disadvantages to some approaches is the need for a change in position, which increases operative time. Also, because typically the abdomen is initially explored, patients may later be deemed unresectable at thoracotomy. We describe time saving modifications to the standard Ivor Lewis esophagectomy that eliminate the need for repositioning and facilitate a stapled end-to-end anastomosis.
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study investigated the results of the LigaSure Vessel Sealing System (LVSS), which has been routinely used in esophageal resections in our clinic since 2006. For this purpose, 60 patients who underwent Ivor Lewis esophagectomy were included in the study. The results were compared with the patients who underwent stomach mobilising procedure and esophagectomy with conventional methods (conventional group) before 2006 and the patients who underwent LVSS (group of LigaSure) in surgical cases after 2006. The cases were compared particularly in terms of intraoperative bleeding, operative time, duration of postoperative hospital stay, intraoperative complications, mortality, and morbidity. Of the patients, 34 (% 56.6) were female and 26 (43.3%) were male, and the range of the age was between 33 and 78, and the mean age of the patients was 52.73 ± 11,617. While the amount of intraoperative bleeding was 321.864 ± 575.00 ml in the conventional group, this was found to be 370.31 ± 238.456 ml in the LigaSure group (p = 0.007). In the statistical evaluation of the operative time, the mean duration was determined as 310.00 ± 24.795 minutes in the conventional group, whereas it was determined as 265.16 ± 31.353 minutes in the LigaSure group (p = 0.001). The use of LVSS was associated with a significant reduction in the operative time and the rate of intra-operative complications.Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery 01/2012; 7:10.
