Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. ( HST ) disclosed the sale of a large stake in a Philadelphia hotel. The move comes as this hotel real estate investment trust (REIT) continues to lower its exposure to non-core assets.

In particular, Host Hotels offloaded an 89% stake in the entity, which owns the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown. The sale took place based on a gross entity value of $303.4 million. An 11% stake is, however, retained by Host Hotels in the joint venture along with Clearview and funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management L.P.

As a matter of fact, for Host Hotels the West Coast market remains attractive with strong lodging demand and lower supply. But an expected rise in supply in the East Coast in the upcoming year is a matter of concern.

Moreover, in the East Coast, the company experienced declines in group demand in Philadelphia and Washington, DC in the most recently reported quarter. Hence, the shedding of this stake is a strategic one for this Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) stock.

Host Hotels is well on track to improve its overall portfolio through the execution of its strategic capital recycling program. The company is focusing on strengthening its position in vibrant markets globally and reducing exposure to non-target markets.

In recent times, the company disclosed the vending of the Dallas/Addison Marriott Quorum for $55.7 million as well as the $62 million divestiture of the Four Seasons Hotel Atlanta and the associated office space. Notably, the current sale leads to total dispositions of approximately $1.1 billion since the start of 2012.

Encouragingly, recently Host Hotels hiked its quarterly cash dividend by 8.3% sequentially to 13 cents per share, reflecting the12th consecutive quarterly dividend increase. The increased dividend will be paid on Jan 15, 2014 to shareholders of record as of Dec 31, 2013. Notably, the company's history of increasing its quarterly dividend reflects its long-term strategy to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns to shareholders.

Investors interested in the REIT Equity Trust - Other industry may also consider stocks like Getty Realty Corp. ( GTY ), National Health Investors Inc. ( NHI ) and Pebblebrook Hotel Trust ( PEB ). All these carry a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).

Householders have been urged to check sheds and outbuildings for a missing man.

Allan Atkinson

Police are increasingly concerned for the safety of Allan Atkinson, of Carlisle, who was last seen on Tuesday afternoon last week.

Hotels across the county have already been asked to check if he is staying with them.

And now police are appealing for people in Carlisle to carry out a search as well.

Sgt Ian Woods said: "We are growing increasingly concerned for the welfare of Mr Atkinson.

"We're asking for people to check outbuildings, sheds and garages in the Carlisle area to see if there is any recent sign of activity.

His wife and brother are worried about him and are hoping that he will make contact to let his family and friends know that he is safe and well.

Mr Atkinson is described as 5ft 10in tall, of medium build with a ruddy complexion and short, light-brown hair.

Exclusive video obtained by CBS News sheds light on the mystery of why a fire truck ran over a teenager who had escaped alive from the wreckage of an Asiana Airlines crash.

Part of the video, CBS reported, came from a camera on a firefighters helmet and was given to CBS a source close to the family of Ye Meng Yuan, 16, who a coroners report says was alive as she lay on the ground amid the chaos of the rescue. Other footage came from a camera on a fire truck.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, stop, stop, stop, a firefighter is heard telling the driver of a fire truck. There's a body right there, right in front of you.

About 15 minutes later, CBS reported, Ye was run over by that truck. Her body was run over again by another truck minutes later, the video showed.

CBS reported One lieutenant told crash investigators she made a three-second visual assessment and thought, That's our first casualty but did not check the girl's vital signs.

Ye and two other people aboard the Asiana Airlines Boeing 777 last summer arriving from Seoul to San Francisco died from the crash while 304 people survived. Yes parents have filed a lawsuit against the city, contending the rescuers were badly trained.

Foam sprayed at the plane did partially cover Yes body on the ground, CBS said.

Justin Green, an attorney who represents Yes family, was quoted by CBC as saying, Why weren't the firefighters trained, why weren't the supervisors certified and why hasn't the fire department come clean about what happened?

San Francisco Fire Department Chief Joanne Hayes-White told CBS local affiliate KPIX last month:

Our members that day had difficult decisions to make. One was visualizing someone that appeared to be dead versus going onto the burning plane with reports of people that still needed to be rescued.

FORT WAYNE City-county dispatchers who are now crammed into a basement room of the Rousseau Centre are poised to move in three weeks to the sixth floor, where brand-new digs await them.

About 75 dispatchers and support staffers got a sneak preview of the new Allen County-Fort Wayne 911 call center, and many brought their families with them, Executive Director Tim Lee said Tuesday during a separate tour for the media.

Employees working in the 5,600-square-foot section of the basement will report to the new center Feb. 4.

One of the unique features of the new call center is that the staff helped design the 8,400-square-foot dispatch room.

Anytime departments are consolidated, there is a lot of animosity and strife, and we tried to counter that by getting everyone involved in the design, Lee said.

Besides offering spectacular views through the shatter-resistant, wall-to-wall windows, the emergency center offers 25 dispatching stations with room for expansion.

Standard staffing is about 13 to 15 dispatchers, but we now have the ability to ramp up if necessary, Lee said.

In addition, if other county centers such as New Haven or the Three Rivers Ambulance Authority have a system failure, a dispatching station could be set up with locale-specific coordinates in a matter of minutes, Lee said.

Gone also is the separation of city and county police and fire dispatching.

All city and county police and fire functions are located adjacently in the large open room, eliminating the past practice of dispatchers having to call from one room to another to communicate with each other.

Tonawanda News Renovations on the Tonawanda Middle and High Schools music rooms could begin this week as part of the districts nearly $12 million endeavor, capital project managers told the school board at Tuesday nights regular meeting.

We met with the contractors at a kick-off meeting, but we havent received the contracts back yet, Gloria Ciminelli, of Pike Co., said. Once we get them, construction will begin.

Earlier in January, the board held a special meeting to approve the bids for the project to ensure construction began on time. The renovations were set to begin today, Ciminelli said.

The bids were very successful, we were under budget and it will allow us to start on time, she said.

The district originally planned to complete additions at the school for the two rooms, but the bids for that portion of the project came in more than $600,000 over budget.

The board then decided to renovate the two rooms instead of completing the expansion. The work will include raising the roof of the band room and expanding the width of the choral room to provide more space and better acoustics.

But change in plans meant the projects architectural firm, Wendel, had to go back to the drawing board and prepare an addendum for state Department of Education approval. The addition was initially set to be complete in November.

Once construction begins, the demolition of the choral room will take place first, and temporary enclosures will ensure the safety of students. Demolition of the band room will take place next.

When the weather breaks, in mid-March, well take the band room roof off. Thats a major part of this project, Ciminelli said.

The work will be complete by the end of June.
