(http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/1110AP_BRF_Casino_Implosion.html):

   [The Showboat] changed hands several times in the 1990s and
   struggled for years before being crippled by a tourism slow-
   down following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

The things you notice when you're a Klingonist...  <g>

   By the same token, literally translating a sentence such as "The
   restaurant changed hands" into Klingon, presumably as {ghopDu'
   choHpu' Qe'} ("The restaurant has altered hands") or perhaps
   {ghopDu' tampu' Qe'} ("The restaurant has exchanged hands"),
   does not tell the Klingon that the restaurant is now under new
   ownership, which is what the Federation Standard phrase really
   means.   [KGT 106-7]
