CHM Announces Asset Management Contracts For Three, Focused-Service Hotels

BEVERLY, MA—Capital Hotel Management (CHM), a hotel asset management and investment advisory firm based here, has been retained to provide asset management services for three, focused-service hotels located in Florida. These hotels include: the 104-room Hampton Inn & Suites Ft. Lauderdale-Airport, the 127-room Hampton Inn Miami-Airport West and the 122-room Hilton Garden Inn Orlando East/UCF Area.
The Lightstone Group owns the first two hotels, and the latter is owned by AVP Advisors, Inc.
"While CHM historically has been known for its expertise in the full-service segment, we also have an extensive background in focused-service hotels, ranging from sourcing transactions to developing the most effective strategies for enhancing value. Much of the upside we are able to uncover in today's market comes from revenue management, operator selection, managing brand expenses and ensuring PIPs (capital improvements) yield a return," stated Chad Crandell, president of CHM.
"For these particular hotels, CHM participated in the due diligence and underwriting efforts on behalf of both ownership groups. We reviewed the assets, assessed the markets, established optimal strategies and now are overseeing operations to help ensure investment returns are met. CHM's current asset management portfolio is comprised of approximately 30 individual hotels, of which seven fall into the focused-service asset category," said Crandell. "We expect this number to double over the next 12 to 18 months as investors continue to flock to this product and seek expertise to maximize profit potential and investment returns."

'It might be life Jim...', physicists discover inorganic dust with life-like qualities
2007-08-19 0:00
Picked up from:
Could extraterrestrial life be made of corkscrew-shaped particles of interstellar dust? Intriguing new evidence of life-like structures that form from inorganic substances in space are revealed today in the New Journal of Physics.
The findings hint at the possibility that life beyond earth may not necessarily use carbon-based molecules as its building blocks. They also point to a possible new explanation for the origin of life on earth.
Life on earth is organic. It is composed of organic molecules, which are simply the compounds of carbon, excluding carbonates and carbon dioxide. The idea that particles of inorganic dust may take on a life of their own is nothing short of alien, going beyond the silicon-based life forms favoured by some science fiction stories.
Now, an international team has discovered that under the right conditions, particles of inorganic dust can become organised into helical structures. These structures can then interact with each other in ways that are usually associated with organic compounds and life itself.
V.N. Tsytovich of the General Physics Institute, Russian Academy of Science, in Moscow, working with colleagues there and at the Max-Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics in Garching, Germany and the University of Sydney, Australia, has studied the behaviour of complex mixtures of inorganic materials in a plasma. Plasma is essentially the fourth state of matter beyond solid, liquid and gas, in which electrons are torn from atoms leaving behind a miasma of charged particles.
Until now, physicists assumed that there could be little organisation in such a cloud of particles. However, Tsytovich and his colleagues demonstrated, using a computer model of molecular dynamics, that particles in a plasma can undergo self-organization as electronic charges become separated and the plasma becomes polarized. This effect results in microscopic strands of solid particles that twist into corkscrew shapes, or helical structures. These helical strands are themselves electronically charged and are attracted to each other.
Quite bizarrely, not only do these helical strands interact in a counterintuitive way in which like can attract like, but they also undergo changes that are normally associated with biological molecules, such as DNA and proteins, say the researchers. They can, for instance, divide, or bifurcate, to form two copies of the original structure. These new structures can also interact to induce changes in their neighbours and they can even evolve into yet more structures as less stable ones break down, leaving behind only the fittest structures in the plasma.
So, could helical clusters formed from interstellar dust be somehow alive? "These complex, self-organized plasma structures exhibit all the necessary properties to qualify them as candidates for inorganic living matter," says Tsytovich, "they are autonomous, they reproduce and they evolve".
He adds that the plasma conditions needed to form these helical structures are common in outer space. However, plasmas can also form under more down to earth conditions such as the point of a lightning strike. The researchers hint that perhaps an inorganic form of life emerged on the primordial earth, which then acted as the template for the more familiar organic molecules we know today.

U.S. Export-Import Bank:
Process in Place to Ensure Compliance With Dual-Use Export Requirements
NSIAD-97-211: Published: Jul 17, 1997. Publicly Released: Jul 17, 1997.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4128
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a legislative requirement, GAO reviewed the end uses of dual-use exports financed by the Export-Import Bank (Eximbank), focusing on: (1) the nature and extent of the Eximbank's financing of dual-use exports; (2) the actions the Eximbank has taken to help ensure that the dual-use exports it finances are nonlethal and will be primarily used for civilian purposes; and (3) whether the actions provide a sound basis for determining that the dual-use exports it finances are nonlethal and will be primarily used for civilian purposes.
GAO noted that: (1) the Eximbank's support for dual-use exports has increased during the last 3 fiscal years (FY) but has remained well under the annual 10-percent cap established by law; (2) as of June 1997, the Eximbank had made commitments totalling $226.1 million in loans and loan guarantees to support 10 dual-use exports to four countries; (3) however, only one of the dual-use exports--involving aircraft parts and services to Indonesia--has actually been delivered overseas; (4) according to the Eximbank, 1 of the 10 exports will be used by a civil aviation authority; the other nine exports will be used by military organizations for primarily civilian purposes; (5) the Eximbank has established a process to help ensure that it can determine whether the dual-use exports it supports are nonlethal and primarily used for civilian purposes as required by law; (6) for example, this process calls for Eximbank to: (a) review and approve applications for financing dual-use exports; (b) monitor the actual end use of these exports overseas; (c) obtain the views of other federal entities, such as the Departments of State, Treasury, and Commerce, for the purpose of approving the financing of dual-use exports and monitoring their end use; and (d) take appropriate corrective actions if the Eximbank discovers that the dual-use exports have been misused; (7) the Eximbank is using electronic data bases to assist in tracking information on dual-use exports for monitoring purposes; (8) GAO's review indicated that the Eximbank process aimed at financing and monitoring dual-use exports, as currently implemented, should provide a sound basis for determining whether these exports are nonlethal and primarily used for civilian purposes; (9) in the spring of 1997, for the one dual-use export that has taken place, Eximbank officials, assisted by other U.S. government officials, were able to verify that it was being primarily used for civilian purposes; and (10) the State Department, in response to GAO's request, obtained information from its pertinent missions overseas confirming that the other nine dual-use exports financed by the Eximbank were nonlethal and intended for primarily civilian use.

Hello again, 'Dolly'
Travolta eager to revisit role of Dolly Levi
Dolly Levi is back in Coeur d'Alene, and Ellen Travolta couldn't be more thrilled.
For Travolta, once again assuming the role of the beloved heroine of "Hello, Dolly!" for Coeur d'Alene Summer Theatre is like visiting with an old friend.
Actually, this revival of the enduring Broadway hit is like visiting with many old friends, Travolta said. Several of the same people who staged the play 12 years ago are back with Travolta – including director Roger Welch, choreographer Michael Wasileski, musical director Steven Dahlke, co-star Jack Bannon, and actors Callie McKinney Cabe and Krista Kubicek.
Travolta said when the theater started talking about revisiting a past hit to kick off the 45th season, she knew what she wanted to do.
"I said the only show I'd be interested in doing again is 'Hello, Dolly!' because I think it's such a perfect show and I think I've had 12 years to improve it," she said. "Steven Dahlke told me it was a perfect show, in his opinion. I don't know what his 'perfection' thing is, but mine is that it's a balance of fabulous music and an excellent script, and it's funny and poignant. It's just lovely. It's a good balance of everything."
Thornton Wilder wrote a farce called "The Merchant of Yonkers," which had a short-lived Broadway run in 1938. In 1955, he rewrote it as "The Matchmaker," elevating the minor character of Dolly Levi to the title role. Ruth Gordon played Dolly for 486 performances on Broadway. Nine years later, Jerry Herman turned it into the musical "Hello, Dolly!" with Carol Channing in the lead. It went on to win 10 Tony Awards. Barbra Streisand starred in the 1969 film version directed by Gene Kelly.
Welch said he's coming back to "Hello, Dolly!" with a new perspective.
"Being 12 years older, I have a better understanding of what this piece is about than I did before: making sure that every day counts and that you really need to embrace life," he said. "One thing that is really striking me as interesting is that it's a barometer of how we've grown as a company. We have more resources now, and I think we're really upping our game."
In 2000, for instance, Coeur d'Alene Summer Theatre wasn't able to bring a train on stage for a key scene, he said. Now they can. They've also been able to incorporate more difficult choreography because the quality of the dancers they can bring in is higher.
"I would say that our talent level has gone up," he said.
Ultimately, the draw of "Hello, Dolly!" is that it's a great play to spotlight the work of husband and wife Bannon and Travolta.
"Ellen and Jack are absolutely delightful in these parts, and people don't want to miss that," Welch said.
Travolta is only partly joking when she quips that she's been preparing to play Dolly again for 12 years. She and Bannon have been working on the play since January. It's a contrast to the last time she played Dolly.
"Then I didn't go in as prepared. That was still in the early years. I was still doing a lot of television, back and forth, back and forth. I had the mentality of 'learn the page and throw it away. Learn the page and throw it away,' " she said "So I approached the play at first as, 'Well, I'll look it over. I've got two weeks. I'll be fine.' No. You really need longer than that."
Her favorite song, she said, is "Before the Parade Passes By," as it's the one she feels most connected to at her age.
"And the 'Ribbon' song," she added. "I don't sing it. Krista Kubicek sings it. Oh my, she sings it so beautifully."
This production marks the first time in a decade that she and Bannon – who plays Horace Vandergelder – are sharing significant stage time together in a summer theater production.
"The last play I did with Jack where I was on stage with him and actually having scenes with him was 'Anything Goes' in 2002," she said. "And I love to work with Jack. He's such as good actor."
As has become the norm at Coeur d'Alene Summer Theatre, "Hello, Dolly!" will be a bit of a family affair. In addition to Travota and Bannon, the cast includes Travolta's sister Margaret Travolta in a couple of cameos, and Travolta's daughter Molly Allen as Ernestina.
But this show is all about Dolly. And Welch said he has the perfect Dolly in Travolta.
"She's bringing a tremendous amount of humor to the role. She's cracking me up," he said. "Her delivery of those lines, it's like they were written for her. … And she can do this amazing turn from totally cracking you up to making you cry. She's a lovely actress.
"I think people will really enjoy it."

Location-based social networking is projected to generate worldwide revenues of $3.3 billion by 2013, according to ABI Research. But the business model may not be advertising driven.
"Location-based mobile social networking revenues will reach $3.3 billion by 2013, but successful business models may differ from what many observers expect," says ABI Research principal analyst Dominique Bonte. "While location-based advertising integrated with sophisticated algorithms holds a lot of promise, the current reality rather points to licensing and revenue-sharing models as the way forward for social networking start-ups to grow their customer base and reach profitability. Recent evidence: the agreements between GyPSii and both Garmin and Samsung. Similarly, Loopt has established partnerships with all major US cellular carriers."
This brand of social media has already started to take off with the recent release of the new iPhone platform. Users are now allowed to download applications designed specifically for the device. This has generated a slew of location-based social networks (as well as search apps).

Mix & Mingle With A Bevy Of Oakland Designers
As far as we're concerned, Sunday Funday just took on a whole new meaning, courtesy of the highly anticipated Marquee Spring Market. That's right — don't think twice before crossing the Bay Bridge this weekend for a pop-up shop at Marquee Salon featuring an unbelievable lineup of local designers. Everyone from Job & Boss to Micaela Greg to the vintage vixens at Urgent Vintage, Down At Lulu's, and Heritage Mercantile will be there. Can you say all-star lineup!?
It's not everyday, or even every season, that we get the chance to show our local love for so many awesome designers, and under one roof? You better bet we are all over this one! Word on the street is that Job & Boss will be debuting its new Oaxaca collection at the market, as well as throwing shoppers a sweet 20% off discount on Shibori Totes. Not to mention a bevy of jewelry swag from Band Of Gold, funky fresh terrariums by Caitlyn & Judith Toogood, and some of our all-time favorite statement necklaces by Ariel Clute will all be among the showstoppers on display. We are really, REALLY excited. Can you tell?
When: Sunday, March 10, noon to 5 p.m.
Where: Marquee Salon, 420 40th Street, Unit 3 (at Webster Street), Oakland; 510-285-6679.
