A Tiny Ocean World With A Mighty Important Future

As you take in your next breath of air, you can thank a form of microscopic marine life known as plankton.

They are so small as to be invisible, but taken together, actually dwarf massive creatures like whales. Plankton make up 98 percent of the biomass of ocean life.

"This invisible forest generates half of the oxygen generated on the planet," Chris Bowler, a marine biologist, tells Guy Raz, host of weekends on All Things Considered.

And, as climate change alters the temperature and acidity of our waters, this mysterious ocean world may be in jeopardy.

It's Bowler's mission to learn as much as possible about plankton ? before the tiny creatures disappear. Bowler is the scientific coordinator of an around-the-world voyage named the Tara Oceans expedition. Aboard an 118-foot schooner, a team of marine scientists culled the world's waters for 21/2 years, studying plankton.

The 118-foot research schooner Tara made an around-the-world expedition over 21/2 years. Scientists aboard discovered up to a million new species of plankton. Now begins the work of determining how climate change might be affecting these microorganisms.

"By understanding the plankton communities, which are associated with areas that are more or less polluted, or more or less acidic, we hope that we'll get a feel for what sort of organisms prefer which kinds of conditions," Bowler says.

So as the oceans change in the future, he says, "we will be able to sort of see ? predict which of these species are likely to go extinct, which ones are likely to migrate, which ones are likely to take their place."

Though the main voyage has ended, the work has only just begun. The biggest catch so far? Discovering up to a million new species of microorganisms.

"That's sort of a reflection of our ignorance of ocean life," Bowler says. "Particularly the microscopic world, which is difficult to study."

The expedition brought home around 27,000 samples, "a snapshot of the state of the oceans at the beginning of the 21st century," Bowler says.

"It's certainly going to be at least 10 years before I think we've gotten to the bottom of these samples," he says.

By then, he says he hopes they will start to develop a picture of how the oceans might look after a hundred years or more of climate change.

"It's going to be a continual discovery process, I think," he says.

Bacon Shortages, Free Speech, and the Making of a President

President Ronald Reagan, commemorating the 750th anniversary of Berlin, addresses on June 1987 the people of West Berlin near the Berlin wall.

President Reagan famously exhorted Mikhail Gorbachev to "Tear down this wall," in a Berlin speech. Does it matter if a president is a great orator?

?How To Measure for a President: Suppose the presidential campaign was settled by a job interview. Here?s what we should look for,? by John Dickerson. As we enter the home stretch of the presidential campaign, John Dickerson explores what qualities a candidate needs to be a good president. He argues that candidates must know how to play politics, and he also talks about what it takes to manage a White House staff.

??Pop Art: The brilliant redesign of the soda can tab,? by Tom Vanderbilt. It?s been 35 years since Jimmy Buffett ?blew out [his] flip flop/ and stepped on a pop top.? Now Tom Vanderbilt explores the simple engineering marvel that replaced the old, dangerous metal scraps. But oddly enough, attaching the tab to the can still hasn?t kept kids from swallowing it.

?The World Doesn?t Love the First Amendment: The vile anti-Muslim video shows that the U.S. overvalues free speech,? by Eric Posner. In this provocative piece, University of Chicago law professor Eric Posner puts American regard for freedom of expression in an international context?and suggests we might be the ones in the wrong.

?Why You Hate Cyclists: Partly because of jerks like me. But it?s mostly your own illogical mind,? by Jim Saksa. What explains the never-ending war between drivers and bikers? Not maniac cyclists?science: ?When it comes to cyclists, once some clown on two wheels almost kills himself with your car, you furiously decide that bicyclists are assholes,? Saksa writes, ?and that conclusion will be hard to shake regardless of countervailing facts, stats, or arguments.?

?Human Rights, the Death Penalty, and Affirmative Action: What will the Supreme Court decide in this term?s first big cases?? by Emily Bazelon. On the docket this fall: Does a 1789 anti-piracy statute allow cases against foreign corporations in American courts for human rights abuses on foreign soil? Can we execute defendants who are found mentally incompetent to help their lawyers with appeals? And will the Court strike down affirmative action? Emily Bazelon offers a preview.

?How Can We Stop Pedophiles? Stop treating them like monsters,? by Jennifer Blyer. Pedophiles might struggle with sexual attraction to children for years before they abuse, but mandatory reporting requirements discourage them from seeking help. Jennifer Blyer recommends treating pedophilia as an unchangeable neurological condition and teaching mental health professionals how to offer treatment?before it?s too late.

?Who Was the Most Religious President of All Time? They called him ?The Deacon,?? by Forrest Wickman. This week, The New Yorker?s r Nicholas Lemann wrote that Mitt Romney ?would arguably be the most actively religious President in American history.? But which president holds the title right now? Forrest Wickman suggests it?s Jimmy Carter, who went door-to-door introducing himself as a peanut farmer/missionary.

Clinton urges "cool heads" in China-Japan island dispute

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton urged China and Japan on Thursday to let "cool heads" prevail in a festering dispute over a cluster of islands in the East China Sea that has soured ties between Asia's two largest economies.

Clinton met Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi on the sidelines of this week's U.N. General Assembly meeting in New York and said it was important to ratchet down tensions over the islands, known as the Diaoyu islands in China and the Senkaku Islands in Japan, a senior State Department official said.

"The secretary ... again urged that cooler heads prevail, that Japan and China engage in dialogue to calm the waters," the official told reporters.

"We believe that Japan and China have the resources, have the restraint, have the ability to work on this directly and take tensions down, and that is our message to both sides," the official said.

Yang, however, used a portion of China's annual address to the U.N. General Assembly on Thursday night to forcefully restate Beijing's stance that the islands had belonged to China from ancient times and were seized in 1895 after Japan defeated the Qing Dynasty in a war.

The top Chinese diplomat also condemned the Japanese government's purchase of the islands from their private owner, earlier this month, a step that sparked protests across China and prompted Beijing to curb bilateral trade and tourism.

"The moves taken by Japan are totally illegal and invalid," Yang said of the purchase, which Tokyo says was done to dampen down the dispute by preventing the islands' use by Japanese activists.

"They can in no way change the historical fact that Japan stole the Diaoyudao and affiliated islands and that China has sovereignty over them," Yang told the General Assembly. Diayudao is what China calls the main island in the cluster.

He urged Tokyo to resolve the issue through negotiations.

A Chinese Foreign Ministry statement on Yang's meeting with Clinton quoted him as saying Japan "must abandon its illusions, face up to reality and earnestly correct its errors."

Clinton was due to meet Japanese Foreign Minister Koichiro Gemba and South Korean Foreign Minister Kim Sung-hwan in a three-way meeting on Friday. Japan and South Korea, two close U.S. allies, have also seen their relationship rocked in recent months by maritime territorial disputes.

In hourlong talks on the sidelines of the United Nations on Tuesday, Japan's Gemba urged China to exercise restraint over the dispute. Japanese diplomats described the meeting as "tense," as Gemba endured a stern lecture from China's Yang.

The islands - located in waters thought to be rich in natural gas deposits - have been administered by Japan since 1895, but China has declared them "sacred territory," and Taiwan has also asserted its own sovereignty over the area.

ESCALATION RISK

Tokyo and Beijing have traded increasingly sharp words in the dispute, which has seen both countries send patrol boats in a game of cat-and-mouse in the waters near the disputed islands, raising concerns that an unintended collision or other incident could escalate into a broader clash.

The United States has said repeatedly it takes no position on the sovereignty dispute, but believes it is important for China and Japan to work out their differences peacefully.

In her meeting with Yang, Clinton also touched on territorial disputes in the South China Sea that have set Beijing against a number of its Southeast Asian neighbors, including the Philippines, a close U.S. ally.

China has resisted calls by the United States and some Southeast Asian countries to agree on a multilateral framework to settle the disputes, preferring to engage with each of the other less powerful claimants individually.

The U.S. official said Clinton welcomed moves by China to restart informal meetings with members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN, most recently in Cambodia two weeks ago, as a sign of progress.

"We expect these meetings are going to continue in the lead-up to the East Asia Summit in November," the official said. "This is precisely what the secretary has been advocating, that they restart a dialogue."

Clinton met later with a delegation of ASEAN ministers, who were guardedly upbeat about China's latest moves, a second U.S. official said.

"We are going to have to wait and see over the course of the next several weeks, but we have obviously encouraged the process to grow and deepen," the official told reporters.

Clinton and her Chinese counterpart also discussed North Korea, which remains locked in a dispute with the international community over its nuclear program, as well as the possible next steps as the world's major powers confront Tehran over its own nuclear ambitions, the official said.

Clinton also raised the issue of Syria, where China has joined Russia in blocking U.S.-led moves within the U.N. Security Council to take tough measures against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad as his government engages in a bloody struggle against armed rebels.

Summit to Purchase 8-Hotel Hyatt Portfolio for $87M | Commercial ...

September 28, 2012
By Barbra Murray, Contributing Editor

Summit Hotel Properties Inc.?s portfolio is about to grow by 1,043 guestrooms. The lodging REIT has signed a deal with affiliates of Hyatt Hotels Corp. to purchase a group of eight Hyatt Place and Hyatt House lodging destinations for $87.4 million.

The assets are spread out between the Southwest and the Mid-Atlantic, and points in between. Three of the hotels are sited in metropolitan Denver, Colo., including the 127-room Hyatt Place-Park Meadows in Lone Tree, as well as the 126-room Hyatt Place-Denver Tech Center and the 135-room Hyatt House-Denver Tech Center in Englewood. Arizona is the location of two more, Hyatt Place-Phoenix and Hyatt Place-Scottsdale, offering 127 rooms each.? Rounding out the group are the 127-room, suburban Dallas Hyatt Place-Arlington in Arlington, Tex.; Hyatt Place-Lombard, featuring 151 rooms in the Chicago-area city of Lombard; and Hyatt Place Owings Mills, a 123-unit hotel in Owings Mills, Md., just outside of Baltimore.

All eight properties come free and clear of debt and together, have an average occupancy level of 74 percent, outshining the national hotel market, which, according to a report by Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services, is expected to record an increased occupancy level of 61.1 percent for 2012. Summit has entered into an agreement with a Hyatt affiliate, Select Hotels Group L.L.C., to manage the properties. The transaction is on track to close during the fourth quarter of this year.

And there?s more. In addition to snapping up the Hyatt portfolio, Summit just announced that it has committed to buying the 98-room Hilton Garden Inn in Fort Worth, Tex., and the 178-room Residence Inn in Salt Lake City, Utah, at the respective prices of $7.2 million and $20 million.

?We have been very active in executing on our strategy of deploying capital in the top fifty U.S. markets,? Dan Hansen, president and CEO of Summit, said in the REIT?s second quarter earnings report.

It?s been a busy year for U.S. hotel investment sales. During the first five months, transaction volume climbed to $5.1 billion, according to a report by lodging real estate services firm Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels, marking the second highest volume for the period since 2008. While one-offs have accounted for the majority of the transactions, portfolio deals have been playing their part. In September, affiliates of Wheelock Street Capital acquired a group of 12 select-service properties from Inland American Real Estate Trust Inc. and three full-service facilities from Sunstone Hotel Investors for an aggregate $221 million. Earlier in the summer, DiamondRock Hospitality signed on to purchase four hotels for $495 million from affiliates of Blackstone Real Estate Partners VI.

?With property operations on the upswing, investors continue to comb the market for opportunities,? per the recently released Marcus & Millichap report. ?In general, it remains less expensive to purchase a hotel than build a new one, a factor that will continue to sustain an active investment market in the months ahead.?
