VIENNA, Austria, Nov 18, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --
- Baby Elephant Preserve, Helicopter and Treehouse Cottages Reflect Members' Unique Character -
- Restaurateur Danny Meyer's Eleven Madison Park the Only Stand Alone U.S. Restaurant Named -
Relais & Chateaux, a collection of the world's finest intimate hotels and gourmet restaurants, announced its newest worldwide members at its annual Congress today. A total of 31 new members were accepted into this prestigious organization, which now has 480 properties in 56 countries.*

Relais & Chateaux reviewed 100 candidates around the world with a commitment to selecting only outstanding properties with truly unique character. Each new member represents the guiding principle of Relais & Chateaux: to create for guests moments of exceptional harmony and unforgettable celebrations of the senses. In the U.S., only one restaurant, Eleven Madison Park, and three resorts -- Winvian, The Inn of the Five Graces, and Hotel Fauchere, earned this exclusive distinction. Three outstanding chefs at Relais & Chateaux properties in North America were also named Grands Chefs Relais & Chateaux.
For over half a century, discriminating travelers and gourmands worldwide have come to expect the extraordinary from Relais & Chateaux. With the addition of Camp Jabulani in South Africa, an astonishing self-sustaining camp that protects elephants and houses a five-star property that harmoniously blends with the African bush; and Winvian, a whimsical collection of accommodations in Connecticut's Litchfield Hills that includes Treehouse and Helicopter cottages, this year is no exception.
"Our newest members offer truly unique and unforgettable experiences for our guests," said Jaume Tapies, international president of Relais & Chateaux. "We are delighted to welcome them into our family, where personal generosity and hospitality are a way of life."
New U.S. Members
Eleven Madison Park, New York, NY: Set in a magnificent art deco dining room in New York City, with soaring ceilings and lush views of historic Madison Square Park, Eleven Madison Park serves Chef Daniel Humm's modern, pure and market-driven French cuisine. It joins only a handful of Grands Chefs Relais & Chateaux in New York -- Per Se, Daniel, Aureole, Le Bernardin, and Jean Georges.
Danny Meyer, renowned restaurateur and owner of Eleven Madison Park, has a profound and poignant connection to Relais & Chateaux. Meyer's father discovered the small inns of Relais de Campagne, predecessor of Relais & Chateaux, while living in France in the 1950s. Inspired by the organization's concept of the Route du Bonheur (the Road to Happiness), a road that connected small inns throughout the French countryside, he founded Open Road Tours, which arranged driving trips to Relais & Chateaux properties in France. From the age of 7, Danny spent time at Relais & Chateaux properties, where he learned first-hand about cuisine and hospitality and became smitten by the lifestyle. His father eventually opened the Seven Gables Inn, in St. Louis, Missouri, and the crowning achievement of his life was when the inn became a member of Relais & Chateaux.
"Just as it was for my father, becoming a member of Relais & Chateaux is a peak career moment for me," said Meyer. "It is an affirmation by the finest hospitality organization in the world of Eleven Madison Park's achievement, and I am incredibly proud of our team. As a young boy, I first learned what a soulful hospitality experience could feel like by staying at Relais & Chateaux properties. In fact, I still have the diary I kept during that time. I have imagined and hoped for this day for a long time, and I can't even begin to express how much this means to me."
Winvian, Litchfield County, Connecticut: Set amidst 113 acres, Winvian was created to recharge and indulge. Fifteen different architects designed individual cottages that combine the whimsical with the traditional, the modern with the historical. Examples include: the Helicopter cottage, which features a fully restored 1968 Sikorsky HH36 Sea King Pelican helicopter and the Treehouse, a two-story cottage suspended among the trees ten meters off the ground that allows guests to sway with the breeze and touch the leaves.
The Inn of the Five Graces, Santa Fe, New Mexico: The Orient and the Old West meet at this hotel, whose name relates back to the Five Graces of Tibetan culture celebrating the human senses. Originally known as Seret's 1001 Nights, the inn is a truly magical and fanciful transformation to another world. The exteriors are traditional old Santa Fe with intriguing architectural details, including hand carved ceilings and columns from Tibet and a Jain altarpiece. Ira Seret, an internationally known importer of Oriental rugs and antiques, and his wife Sylvia, a designer, opened their 22-suite inn in an historic neighborhood of Santa Fe in 1996. The property is a showcase for the Serets' decorating talents.
Hotel Fauchere, Pike County, Pennsylvania: This property is a magnificent mansion that transports visitors back to a quieter era. Extraordinary exhibits include the famous "Bloody Lincoln Flag," which is believed to have cushioned the dying president's head after he was shot in 1865. Civil War and Native American artifacts, the Hiawatha stagecoach, vintage gowns and uniforms, photo albums and period letters, musical instruments and kitchenware are on display.
New Grands Chefs Relais & Chateaux North America
Three North American chefs at established Relais & Chateaux properties have also just been named Grands Chefs Relais & Chateaux. They are: Christopher Brooks of Blantyre (Lenox, Mass.), Jason Robinson, The Inn at Dos Brisas (Brenham, Texas), and Jonathan Gushue of Langdon Hall County House Hotel & Spa (Canada) join the contemporary elite of fine dining in recognition of their passion, creativity, experience and expertise.
New Relais & Chateaux Guide
Faithful to the motto, "All Around the World, Unique in the World," Relais & Chateaux has unveiled a redesigned Guide for 2009, which features a larger format, customized pages for each property and a new column, "Unique in the World," that highlights the truly unique character of each property. Descriptions such as a truffle field with 600 oak trees, a helicopter cottage and a beach reserved for children provide glimpses into the experiences that travelers can enjoy. Prominent author Douglas Kennedy, Relais & Chateaux's first ambassador for 2009, has written a forward for the newly formatted Guide. 800,000 copies will be distributed in six languages in 60 countries.
"We all need ways to escape and seek out places that provide us with a way of seeing the world in a different way," said Kennedy. "When you arrive at a Relais & Chateaux hotel or restaurant, you arrive somewhere that isn't afraid to trumpet its uniqueness. The new Guide will allow readers to immediately identify each property's extraordinary qualities to draw inspiration for their next destination."

Fitch Rates New York City TFA $400MM Building Aid Revs 'A+' - Zibb.com
NEW YORK, Oct 29, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Fitch Ratings has assigned an 'A+' rating to the New York City Transitional Finance Authority's (TFA) $400 million building aid revenue bonds, fiscal 2009 series S-2. The bonds are scheduled to sell through negotiation this week. Fitch has also affirmed the 'A+' rating of $2.3 billion outstanding TFA building aid revenue bonds. The Rating Outlook is Stable.
The rating is based on the credit quality of the State of New York (general obligation bonds rated 'AA-' with a Stable Outlook by Fitch), as bonds are payable from annual state appropriations of building aid. State building aid assists local school districts across the state with the cost of constructing and improving elementary and secondary education facilities. Appropriation risk is minimal given the constitutional mandate for, and strong history of, state support for education. Moreover, the additional bonds test (ABT) only considers aid associated with projects that have already been approved by the State of New York (the state), even though aid related to projects that will be approved by the state in the future is also pledged to the bonds.
In the 2006 state legislative session, the TFA was authorized to issue $9.4 billion for education to address the capital demands of the Campaign for Fiscal Equity (CFE) school funding lawsuit. As permitted by the legislation, the city assigned all of its state building aid to the TFA to secure the bonds. Since then, the TFA has issued four series of building aid revenue bonds.
State building aid, which is earned on an individual project basis, consists of confirmed building aid and incremental building aid. Confirmed building aid refers to aid payable for projects that have already been approved by the state. Such aid is subject to annual state appropriation but is not subject to any additional statutory or administrative conditions or approvals. The state has covenanted that the calculation of reimbursable costs for a project will not change once the project has been approved; the level of reimbursement can change over time pursuant to a statewide formula that is calculated every year, but this ratio has been relatively stable over time. Incremental building aid refers to state building aid to be received for projects approved by the state in the future.
Both confirmed and incremental building aid are the property of the TFA and are pledged to the bonds. However, the ABT considers only confirmed building aid. In order for additional debt to be issued, confirmed building aid payable in the fiscal year preceding each year in which bonds are scheduled to be outstanding must be at least 1 time (x) debt service in that year. Since state building aid for a given project is provided over 30 years, this allows for a level debt service structure for the bonds in which coverage by confirmed building aid drops from a high of about 4.5x in fiscal 2009 to a low of about 1.7x in fiscal 2036. Fitch expects that the incremental building aid generated by the city's ongoing education capital program will result in substantially higher actual coverage in the outyears. The average state reimbursement rate for education projects in the city currently is about 50%, and the TFA receives all building aid regardless of whether the project is financed with TFA state building aid bonds or through a different financing mechanism.
Pursuant to the TFA indenture, since building aid is TFA revenue it must be available first to TFA future tax secured bonds issued prior to the first issuance of building aid revenue bonds. Given the very strong coverage that the pledged personal income and sales tax revenues provide for future tax secured bonds (about 9.4x in fiscal 2008), it is unlikely that building aid would ever be needed for this purpose. TFA future tax secured bonds sold after the date of the initial issuance of the building aid bonds have no claim on building aid.
In addition to previously outstanding TFA future tax secured bonds, the payment of building aid is also subject and subordinate to certain other prior statutory and state constitutional claims. Fitch does not believe that these will impair the ability to pay debt service. Holders of the TFA building aid bonds benefit from the statutory covenants in the original TFA Act prohibiting action that would impair bondholders and the bankruptcy-remote nature of the issuer. However, since the pledged revenue stream requires annual state appropriation, the bondholders do not enjoy the same insulation from government operations that is a key factor in the 'AA+' rating of the TFA future tax-secured bonds.
Fitch issued an exposure draft on July 31, 2008 proposing a recalibration of tax-supported and water/sewer revenue bond ratings which, if adopted, may result in an upward revision of this rating (see Fitch research 'Exposure Draft: Reassessment of the Municipal Ratings Framework'.) At this time, Fitch is deferring its final determination on municipal recalibration. Fitch will continue to monitor market and credit conditions, and plans to revisit the recalibration in the first quarter of 2009.
Fitch's rating definitions and the terms of use of such ratings are available on the agency's public site, www.fitchratings.com. Published ratings, criteria and methodologies are available from this site, at all times. Fitch's code of conduct, confidentiality, conflicts of interest, affiliate firewall, compliance and other relevant policies and procedures are also available from the 'Code of Conduct' section of this site.

realizes that these two victims hold something criminal in common.
