- A little publication called Meeting News magazine has awarded their Planner's Choice Award to the the downtown San Francisco Marriott Hotel. The hotel was deemed the best meeting facility for 2005 service, most likely due to the close proximity to the city's convention center and the hotel's own meeting facility with over 100,000 square feet of meeting rooms and banquet space. Indeed, one reviewer recently called this place "a conventioneer's delight!" Really? Y'all like getting overcharged for WiFi? |

- Walt Disney World Resorts has announced that guests staying at any Disney hotel in Disney World will have extra hours at the Disney-run water parks, Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach as well as the major theme parks on select days. Dubbed the "Extra Magic Hours", the water parks will open one hour earlier, while the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney-MGM Studios and Disney's Animal Kingdom will open on select days one hour earlier than usual. On other days, the parks will stay open up to three hours following the park's closing. Guests need to show their Disney Resort identification card along with a valid theme park admission ticket to get in for the "Extra Magic Hours."

- The negotiations to end the frustrating New York City transit strike took place between union and MTA officials at the Helmsley Hotel in Midtown Manhattan. The Helmsley must have good vibes because earlier talks at the more expensive Grand Hyatt nearby were unsuccessful. The New York Post reports: "Over a 29-hour period, the MTA's chief negotiator and a team of union bigs slipped unnoticed in and out of the hotel, and a series of small rooms that were rented by the three members of the state mediation panel." The rooms were just "ordinary hotel rooms" on the 33rd and 35th floors. |

- Beijing has announced plans to install up cameras in luxury hotels within the city that can be used to monitor individuals. Called "anti-terrorism" cameras, the cameras will be installed in the entertainment areas of hotels and around cashier desks in order to get ready for a tighter security situation before the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008. On the bright side, America, the Patriot Act could be like this. Related Stories:· |

- With the internets abuzz with "Clooney hotel craps out" rumors, top brass at Las Ramblas development group, The Related Company, thought it was time to strike back...so they talked to Robin Leech? "Las Ramblas is moving forward," Stephanie Wilson, communications manager for Related Las Vegas told me this AM. "There is no truth to the rumors suggesting otherwise." The rumors grew after Related pulled out of another key project downtown, over disputed financial terms with Mayor Oscar Goodman, who blasted the Miami development company. |

- The head of housekeeping at Holiday Inn, Bridgeport, Debbie Tooley, has spent the past 20 Christmas seasons constructing gingerbread houses for the hotel lobby. This year's house is about 4 feet tall; She bakes and decorates all 400 of the gingerbread cookies herself, adorns the house with hundreds of pieces of candy and pipes icing icicles all along the structure. She even enlisted the hotel engineer, Mike Marrero, to build a collapsible plywood frame that she decorates with her special baked goods. The tradition started back in `87 when the hotel was a Hilton, and had a pastry chef. |

- Christian evangelical group Jews for Jesus is suing Google. Okay, at least they seem to know how this world works today. Google's blog service accepted someone starting a blog with their name. The writer is critical towards an organization that helps jews to convert to Christianity. Frankly, I am stunned. |

- The ELF CNG-DI, a joint entry between Isuzu and Westport, won two gold medals at the 2003 Michelin Challenge Bibendum. Westport Innovations and Isuzu have signed a new joint partnership and funding agreement for the application of Westport’s Compressed Natural Gas Direct Injection (CNG-DI) technologies on Isuzu engines and commercial vehicles. The companies have been working together since 2000 on the technology, which provides up to 20% less greenhouse gas emissions (mainly carbon dioxide) than equivalent diesel engines, and improved fuel efficiency over current spark-ignited natural gas engines.
