				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This years football season is just beginning but it looks to be even bigger, better and louder than last year. The defending Super Bowl champions, the Seattle Seahawks, have also claimed the title of the loudest stadium in the world. The Seahawks fan’s are known as “the 12th man” and helped get the noise level at CenturyLink field up to 137.6 decibels. That is nearly the same amount of noise you would here when standing 100 feet from a jet engine.</p>
<p>To combat the growing noise level from fans the NFL introduced coach-to-quarterback communication nearly thirty years ago and coach-to-defense about eight years ago. This is one-way communication where the Q.B or designated defensive players can hear their coach in critical situations. With the evolution of players, offensive/defensive schemes and rules of the game clear communication with players on the field can be the difference between a touchdown and turnover on downs.</p>
<p>Motorola offers a variety of products to help you get clear communication with players. <a href="http://www.blinkwave.com/two-way-radios">Motorola digital two-way radios</a> and headsets create more efficient communications on the field. With impressive range and reliable calling capacity our products can help your team at any level of the game. The <a href="http://www.blinkwave.com/bpr40-63">Motorola BPR40</a> two way radio and the rln5238 <a href="http://www.blinkwave.com/accessories/headsets">headset</a> are great communication systems to use when communicating with players. The <a href="http://www.blinkwave.com/bpr40">BPR40</a> is small and lightweight and will stay unobtrusively on the coaches belt.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Atlantic City, in New Jersey, is currently undergoing a $100 million makeover in an effort to revitalize and spruce up the Boardwalk by focusing on entertainment attractions beyond gambling, according to <a href="http://travel.nytimes.com/2012/07/29/travel/in-atlantic-city-thinking-beyond-the-casino.html">The New York Times</a>.</p>
<p>The Atlantic City Alliance and the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority are partnering up on DO AC, touted as the biggest marketing campaign focused solely on tourism in the city&#8217;s history. The main target of the collaboration is to publicize and promote all the various reasons to visit Atlantic City beyond going to a casino.</p>
<p>&#8220;Everybody recognizes that the real future of Atlantic City rests in making the pie bigger, not just in cutting up the pie,&#8221; Kevin DeSanctis, the chairman and chief executive of the Revel Hotel and Casino Resort, told the news source. &#8220;The only way to do that is to figure out a way to add more amenities and more nongaming amenities so this really evolves into a much broader regional destination.&#8221;</p>
<p>Some of the planned upgrades and diversification projects include revamping the Steel Pier amusement park, improving the Atlantic City Historical Museum and the Atlantic City Arts Center, public art installations and general cleanup of the beach and boardwalk.</p>
<p>Another possible reason for the decline in tourism to Atlantic City is safety issues related to the negative perception of casinos and gambling patrons. To combat this, hotel employees could increase their vigilance and help visitors feel safer by using <a href="http://www.blinkwave.com/two-way-radios">Motorola two-way radios</a>. Seeing hotel employees and security guards using <a href="http://www.blinkwave.com/cp185">Motorola CP185</a> radios will add a sense of security and reassurance to guests. Its compact design creates a professionalism that belies its powerful audio functions and range. An <a href="http://www.blinkwave.com/accessories/earpieces">earpiece</a> allows for convenient usage while further promoting a sense of authority.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Sheraton Tampa East Hotel announced its opening, marking the brand&#8217;s fourth hotel in the greater Tampa area, according to <a href="http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/news/article.asp?docKey=600-201207270900BIZWIRE_USPRX____BW5011-1&amp;params=timestamp%7C%7C07/27/2012%209:00%20AM%20ET%7C%7Cheadline%7C%7CSheraton%20Welcomes%20Guests%20to%20Tampa%u2019s%20Newest%20Hotel%7C%7CdocSource%7C%7CBusiness%20Wire%7C%7Cprovider%7C%7CACQUIREMEDIA%7C%7Cbridgesymbol%7C%7CUS;HOT&amp;ticker=HOT:US">Businessweek</a>.</p>
<p>The former Crowne Plaza hotel underwent a comprehensive $9 million renovation before being reopened and rebranded as a Sheraton hotel. It is owned by a joint venture between Interstate Hotels and Resorts, Waramaug Hospitality and a private investment group.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are thrilled to expand the Sheraton brand in Tampa, and we invite travelers to experience the new look and feel of Sheraton ideally suited to premier businesses and attractions,&#8221; Hoyt Harper, the Global Brand Leader for Sheraton Hotels and Resorts. &#8220;Sheraton Tampa East Hotel will feature all the latest signature Sheraton brand offerings, designed to create community and help guests make connections.</p>
<p>While the hotel will welcome traditional travelers and vacationers to one of its 265 guest rooms, it is particularly ideal for business and social functions on a grander scale. With 30,000 square feet of fully renovated meeting and event space, a 5,000 square foot ballroom and a poolside pavillion that is ideal for cocktail receptions, the Sheraton Tampa East Hotel will look to draw larger groups. Additionally, the hotel is conveniently located within five miles from the Tampa Convention Center.</p>
<p>As part of their grand opening, the Sheraton will want to make sure that everything runs smoothly, especially through the first few days of operation. Outfitting employees with <a href="http://www.blinkwave.com/two-way-radios">Motorola two-way radios</a> is an effective way to put your staff in the best position to oversee operations. The <a href="http://www.blinkwave.com/cp200">Motorola CP200</a> is a terrific model for hotel employees, due to its compact design and professional look. A bevy of audio functions completes the package, while a <a href="http://www.blinkwave.com/accessories/carry-cases">belt clip</a> allows for convenient and discreet carrying.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While many hotels are introducing programs marketed at teenagers and children, several luxury hotels are taking it a step further by providing even more luxurious hotel amenities for even younger children, according to <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10000872396390443931404577548950482450894.html">The Wall Street Journal</a>.</p>
<p>As more parents have children later in life, when couples have the disposable income to travel, they are bringing toddlers and younger kids to high-price hotels more than ever. This has prompted luxury hotels to design programs in order to entertain the kids.</p>
<p>The Rosewood Hotel and Resorts has spa services, such as the &#8220;Lily Complexion Perfection Facial&#8221; for kids aged 9 to 13 and mani-pedi packages for children as young as 5. Other hotels have introduced Montessori education programs, art appreciation groups, ice-cream buffets and video games.</p>
<p>&#8220;Getting to the hearts of kids is the most powerful way to get to the hearts of parents,&#8221; Mark Novota, the managing partner of the Wequassett Resort and Golf Club in Chatham, Massachusetts, told the news source. That hotel opened a children&#8217;s center in 2009.</p>
<p>According to a 2011 survey by research firms MMGY Global and Harrison Group, 57 percent of travelers cited having a kids&#8217; club or family activities provided by the hotel as being &#8220;extremely or very desirable.&#8221;</p>
<p>Despite catering to children, these luxury hotels still have to be mindful of the fact that their primary audience are the adults, some of whom might not want to be bothered by hordes of kids. Outfitting employees with <a href="http://www.blinkwave.com/two-way-radios">Motorola two-way radios</a> is a good way of ensuring they all stay vigilant and maintain peace, even with children running around. The <a href="http://www.blinkwave.com/cp200">Motorola CP200</a> is an ideal model for hotel staff with its strong audio functions and its professional design. An <a href="http://www.blinkwave.com/accessories/earpieces">earbud</a> provides hands free communication.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Resorts Casino Hotel is adding a themed expansion project to its Atlantic City location, inspired by singer Jimmy Buffett&#8217;s Margaritaville franchise, according to <a href="http://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/communities/atlantic-city_pleasantville_brigantine/resorts-casino-hotel-to-bring-margaritaville-themed-expansion-to-atlantic/article_4d709118-d5a3-11e1-9e84-0019bb2963f4.html">The Press of Atlantic City</a>.</p>
<p>The island-themed project will cost approximately $35.5 million and include two restaurants, a bar, retail outlets and additional gaming opportunities. A nearby beach bar with volleyball and bocce ball courts will also be part of the expansion, as well as a new facade on the Atlantic City Boardwalk that reflects the famous Margaritaville theme popularized by Buffett.</p>
<p>&#8220;Here&#8217;s another bit of nontraditional-type entertainment coming to Atlantic City,&#8221; said Governor Chris Christie at the formal announcement. &#8220;Having Margaritaville here, an entirely different brand than anything you have up and down the Boardwalk now, we&#8217;re confident we&#8217;ll attract more and different types of people to Atlantic City.&#8221;</p>
<p>The company has applied for grant financing from the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority and the New Jersey Economic Development Authority. Construction is expected to require the hiring of 238 construction personnel, along with an additional 45 professional temporary jobs. Another 162 permanent jobs for the casino are expected to be created prior to its projected opening in May of 2013.</p>
<p>Streamlining communications among employees and between staff members and managers throughout the entire construction and operational processes is essential to a smoother running of the project. Using <a href="http://www.blinkwave.com/two-way-radios">Motorola two-way radios</a> is an efficient way of organizing communications. The <a href="http://www.blinkwave.com/bpr40-63">Motorola Mag One BPR40</a> is an ideal model for both the grueling nature of a construction site and the professional atmosphere of a casino. It is lightweight, yet packs a powerful communications punch, and is cost-effective enough to outfit all personnel.
