A rally to save Interfaith Medical Center by reminding state officials they need to keep the hospital funded took place Sunday, two days after ambulances were temporarily diverted from the facility.
The state cut off funding for Interfaith Medical Center only weeks after agreeing to keep the hospital funded until March. This happened because the hospital board voted to continue running its own clinics, though it had also agreed to turn them over to Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center earlier.
It was when the funds did not come on Friday when ambulances were diverted from the emergency room, causing a leadership crisis at Interfaith. The chief medical officer took over for the CEO and its future is uncertain.
Representatives of the state Department of Health arrived unannounced at Interfaith on Sunday morning to decide whether it's worth keeping the hospital afloat.
Later, supporters of Interfaith, including Public Advocate Letitia James, rallied outside.
"This hospital will close by the end of this week. They do not have sufficient resources to meet the next payroll. This is the last payroll," said James.
"There is no responsible reason to allow for the closure of Interfaith Hospital," said Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, who represents parts of Brooklyn and Queens.
The community hopes that the state health department will see a hospital that is at 104 percent capacity and that it's worth keeping open.

WHITEFISH - A Saturday evening car accident claims the life of a 20 year old Whitefish man.
Montana Highway Patrol says the man was driving a white Suburban on East Edgewood Drive just after 5:30 on Saturday night.
MHP says the man was driving at a high rate of speed when he lost control along a curve and the car rolled several times and landed in a ditch.
MHP says the driver was not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected from the car.
He was transported to North Valley Hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
MHP says alcohol was not a factor in this crash.

I went 2C Dr Cirocco after my primary Dr treated my hemorrhoid as an over the counter cure; prescribed a topical cream. Dr Cirocco found a polyp on the hemorrhoid and surgery was performed. I experienced no pain from my condition B4 surgery & unbelievably, no pain afterwards from the procedure. No problems so far & my follow-up visits with him was very satisfactory. Would recommend Dr Cirocco N A heartbeat 2 any1
Don't go in the hospital with him as your Dr with out a living will he would not do any thing my husband asked and I hate that hospital, spend over a month in there,because every thing went all wrong and no one ever cleaned me up except the girl in ICU, and after being in there so long got home and couldn't walk because I was in bed so long
Major complaint was with the hospital and custodial services during a prolonged stay requiring rehabilitation.
Dr. Cirocco listened to my concerns and when I told him I didn't want a collostomy he did everything he could to keep me from have one. I came through the colo-rectal surgery great and even though I wore an illiostomy it was not permanent. I would highly recommend Dr. Cirocco to everyone.
Felt like he was very caring and through. Always saw him at the hospital. Have done really well since surgery and no complications. Excellent surgeon.
I have a rare form of colon cancer, and I couldn't have gotten better care from any other doctor. From pre-op testing to surgery, the hospital stay, and followup appts I was treated with kindness, understanding and professionalism. He was so knowledgable about my cancer, and took the time to help me understand every aspect of the disease, and was so wonderful to my family with their concerns right after surgery. Not only would I trust my life to Dr. Cirocco, I would recommend him to my friends and family. Not only is he a brilliant surgeon, he's very kind and easy to talk to.
I was diagnosed with colon rectal cancer by Dr Cirroco's former partner Dr Graham. Luckily I was referred to Dr Cirroco to get a second opinion on my rectal cancer tumor surgery.Dr Graham was cold and indifferent but Dr Cirroco was upfront, honest and at the same time professional. I have no doubt but for meeting with Dr Cirroco I would need a colostomy bag right now 8 years after my surgery.As a 34 year old male he understood unlike Dr Graham who tried to convince me a colostomy bag was great, that I did not want to utilize a bag the rest of my life.And he went above and beyond during surgery to get the job done for me. He had to hand stitch me back together. I can not tell you how gratefull I am to this Dr and his staff. His wife was an RN in the office. She was so respectful and compassionette.I can not adequately describe how different my experience was between these two Dr's.
Very knowledgeable, knows what he is talking about. Not a lot of one on one...WAY more expensive than I expected...no followup from him or his staff at all after surgery (the hospitals surgical staff called the day after) I don't even remember talking to him after surgery, I was told he stopped by in recovery...I would recommend him if you do not need a lot of individual attention but a knowledgeable and well educated surgeon.
this guy dropped the ball post op big time, let me go through weeks of pain and post op infection, then my primary care dr had to step in and prove it was post op related before he would even think about treating me again. Overall I think he is a skilled surgeon with no regard for the concerns of his patients.
This patient was verbally abusive to my staff each and every time he stepped into the office. He had a complicated bowel resection with good results except for his unreasonable expectations of an early return to a very physically demanding job when he was still not fully recovered from his operation and still having typical post-operative pain.

She Seeks the Answers
So instead of working all day last Sunday I spent it in the Emergency Room. I guess I severly sprained my ankle, sometimes I really suck. I had to wear a brace and air cast all week and I got pain pills. It looks pretty nasty but it doesn't hurt that bad anymore so I didn't wear the brace today because I wanted to wear capris. My parents took good care of me. They came out yesterday to bring my meds and we went out to dinner. I think I appreciate them more as I get older. It's hard to appreciate them when I live there though, I don't know, I just go crazy when I live there. Being out of the house makes me see things differently I suppose. Some people aren't as lucky as I am and I know it. I'm glad my parents aren't divorced and I'm glad my parents don't smoke pot with me b/c I know lots of parents that do with their kids. My parents are perfect for me I guess you could say. I've been feeling kinda emo tonite. I dunno what brought it on either. I guess the fact that I haven't had a lot of homework and more time to think. Although I have tons of friends, the best I could ask for, I still feel kind of lonely sometimes. Like I know there's something way better out there but I'm so tired of waiting, I just want it to be here now. Sometimes when I get drunk, it intensifies more and I say dumb stuff, sorry if you have even been present during one of my drunk crying emo moments (and there have been more than one) but they just pop up out of know and I totally regret them the next day and wish they never happened. I suppose I am jealous sometimes but all I want is someone to nap with and play uno with and go to shows and just do nothing with. I miss having that. In a way I don't want to post this because then whoever reads it will read it and see it as a weakness. But I guess there's no hiding it. Oh well I guess I am done whining now.Anyone that wants to go and see Matchbook Romance, Hidden in Plain View, and Midtown in Clifton Park on November 13th for $10 let me know, I am driving.

Kyle Reynolds Claims Top Prize Playing 'Holiday Super Crossword' Scratch Game
DES MOINES, Iowa - A Cedar Rapids man said he's still in disbelief that he won a $50,000 top prize on an Iowa Lottery "Holiday Super Crossword" instant-scratch ticket.
"We still (don't) believe it. We figure something is still going to screw up, I did something wrong," Kyle Reynolds, 56, said.
Reynolds purchased his winning ticket early Sunday morning at Kwik Shop, 3301 J St. SW in Cedar Rapids following his overnight steward job at The Hotel at Kirkwood Center.
"I went home and scratched it off and I couldn't believe it," he said. "I checked it about 20 times."
Reynolds said he woke up his wife, Karen, to have her check his winning ticket. He also took it back to the convenience store to have a clerk check it.
"We checked it about 10 times since Sunday. We still can't believe it," he said.
Reynolds claimed his prize Tuesday at the lottery's regional office in Cedar Rapids. He claimed the fifth of 17 top prizes of $50,000 available in the Holiday Super Crossword game.
Reynolds, a loyal Crossword player, said he knew he had a winning ticket.
"It was the last letter that gave me three words," he said.
Holiday Super Crossword is a $5 scratch game. Players win a prize by uncovering at least three complete words in either puzzle or the complete bonus word in the play area on each ticket. Players who uncover 10 complete words win one of the game's $50,000 top prizes. The overall odds of winning a prize in the game are 1 in 3.69.
Reynolds said he plans to use his lottery winnings to pay off his mortgage.
Twelve top prizes of $50,000 are still up for grabs in Holiday Super Crossword, as well as 26 prizes of $5,000, 34 prizes of $500 and hundreds of prizes of $100.
Players can enter nonwinning Holiday Super Crossword scratch tickets online in the Gifts Galore Play It Again® promotion, which offers 310 Sony® electronics and cash prizes.

EY Capital Confidence Barometer
Reshaping for the future
Key findings
M&A: measured moves, bigger deals
Economic outlook: resilient confidence despite shocks and low growth
Cost management rules: permanent feature of a low-growth future
Growth takes new directions: innovation at center stage
Learning to thrive in a low-growth and volatile environment, companies are taking a pragmatic view, balancing risk and returns.
The business world is taking a new shape — leading businesses are responding by reshaping for the future.
Our latest Capital Confidence Barometer clearly shows the many complex challenges on today's boardroom agenda. For leading global corporates, striking a balance between risk and reward has rarely been so difficult. Companies are grappling with geopolitical instability, a fragile global economic recovery and seismic shifts in "megatrends" such as structural changes in the workforce and digital transformation — all at a time of unprecedented shareholder activism.
Our survey reveals:
Key findings
60% consider cost reduction their primary focus
27% expect to pursue deals greater than US$500m in size
31% plan to pursue an acquisition
29% expect deal pipelines to increase
60% see the global economy improving — resilient confidence in the face of shocks
88% view credit availability as stable or improving
65% have confidence in corporate earnings — the highest level in five years
Navigating complexities with parallel priorities
Our respondents report resilient confidence in the global economy, despite recent geopolitical shocks, low growth in mature markets and slowing growth in BRIC territories. Confidence in credit availability is at its highest in the Barometer's five-year history, cash is in ready supply and valuation gaps are narrowing.
In the past, all of this would have been a recipe for a wave of M&A. Today, however, executives are navigating complexity with parallel priorities. Management teams look to achieve value today with a renewed focus on cost management and returning rewards to increasingly active shareholders.
At the same time, some executives are also seeking value creation and top-line revenue through innovative organic growth and measured dealmaking.
Time for transformational M&A
As a result, larger, more transformational M&A is on the strategic growth agenda. Pipelines point to only modest increases in deal activity as low volume becomes the hallmark of a low-growth environment. Increased deal values rather than volumes will likely be making headlines in the coming year. After a prolonged financial crisis and M&A market malaise, companies and boards are opting for quality rather than quantity.
The business world is taking a new shape, one affected by the tapering of fiscal stimulus, shareholder activists, a rebalancing of investment priorities across emerging and mature markets and a relentless drive for innovation across all sectors.
With a focus on cost management, higher risk organic growth and — in some cases — large, strategic and transformational deals, leading businesses are responding by reshaping for the future.
—Pip McCrostie, Global Vice Chair, Transaction Advisory Services

Today's recipe uses canned chopped clams, canned diced tomatoes and bottled clam juice to make Manhattan-style clam chowder with bacon, potatoes and fresh thyme.
Ingredients:2 8-ounce bottles of clam juice (no salt added) or 2 cups unsalted chicken broth4 bacon slices1 Tbs fresh thyme leaves1/2 cup onion 1/2 cup celery2 cups potatoes1 15-ounce can of diced tomatoes1 bay leaf (optional)3 6.5-ounce cans of chopped clams
Procedure:This is the kind of soup that comes together in stages. Get started by crisping up the diced bacon slices in a heavy-bottomed soup pot. Stay with the bacon and take it out of the pan when it's nice and crisp.
While keeping an eye on the bacon, pick the thyme leaves, dice the onion and celery and cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch dice.
Once the bacon is out of the pan, add the celery, onion, potatoes and fresh thyme to the pot and cook that in the rendered bacon fat until the onion has softened up.
At that point, add the canned diced tomatoes and the two bottles of clam juice, or unsalted chicken broth. Add an optional bay leaf and bring it up to a simmer.
Cook that along at a gentle simmer until the potatoes are just cooked through and then add the cans of chopped clams, add the crispy bacon back to the pot and simmer along for another minute or two and then it is ready to go.

Hopefully Katy Perry won't have another crazy Friday night — she'll be performing at her third Obama rally on Saturday. President Obama will join her at the Milwaukee, Wisconsin event.

Eddie Vedder finds Romney's comments 'very upsetting'
A lot of people took umbrage at Mitt Romney's recently leaked comments, and Eddie Vedder is one of them.
"It's very upsetting to hear a presidential candidate be so easily dismissive of such a ginormous amount of the population," the Pearl Jam frontman said at a fundraiser for the president in Tampa yesterday. Vedder went on to tell the Obama donors that were Romney elected president, "none of those 47 percent of people would have a voice."
And he has reason to be upset, too: the singer was once a 47%er himself. Vedder recalled the government training program that helped prepare him for his massively successful career as… a security guard.
Well, kind of — it was that gig that funded his artistic ambitions. "It was that job that allowed me to also afford the guitars and tape recorder and microphones I needed to let me afford keep working on music," Vedder said. "It was also the job I reluctantly left to move up to Seattle for less pay, in order to join a band. It all worked out."
Randy Newman releases satirical election song 'I'm Dreaming': Hear it here
When he isn't crooning about friendship for Pixar or getting made fun of on Family Guy, Randy Newman is a pretty political guy, and he's tossed his hat into the 2012 presidential election conversation with his new song "I'm Dreaming."
The track tongue-in-cheekily features the refrain, "I'm dreaming of a white president." The accompanying video is pretty scathing, aiming barbs at George W. Bush and a handful of absurd moments caught on tape (including an awesome sequence of Richard Nixon bowling).
On his website, Newman explained the song thusly: "I think there are a lot of people who find it jarring to have a black man in the White House and they want him out. They just can't believe that there's not a more qualified white man. You won't get anyone, and I do mean anyone, to admit it."
In addition to being a direct attack on racists, there's an extended joke about how fat William Howard Taft is, as well as the lyric "Buh buh buh buh." It's the Randy Newman deluxe package, and you can check it out below: READ FULL STORY
Nicki Minaj raps: 'I'm a Republican voting for Mitt Romney'
Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan have already been asked by several musical acts to stop playing their songs at Republican campaign events. Fortunately, they can count on one mainstream singer for political and musical support: Nicki Minaj. It appears the Trinidadian-born rapper and rumored soon-to-be American Idol judge is voting Republican this November, judging by the lyrics of her new NSFW duet with Lil Wayne. In "Mercy," part of Lil Wayne's new mixtape, Dedication 4, Minaj spits out,"I'm a Republican voting for Mitt Romney, you lazy b——s is f—— up the economy."

Campaign 2012 music news update: U.S. Presidential candidates joined by Kid Rock, Journey, the National, and more
Today's announcement that erudite Brooklyn indie rockers The National (left) are opening for President Obama at a campaign event Iowa on September 1 marks the most recent development in the 2012 race's musical circus — and one of the few examples of a music/candidate pairing that hasn't resulted in somebody totally freaking out.
The band, who previously opened for Obama in 2008 alongside Ben Harper, bring a much-needed boost to the Democrats' so-far-disappointing musical retinue.
The party generally known for its Hollywood connections and A-list support has had trouble attracting major entertainment names this year — significantly fewer celebrities are slated to attend its National Convention in Charlotte next week; the event's relatively low-wattage lineup so far consists only of James Taylor, America's Got Talent stars Inspire the Fire, and Duke University alums Delta Rae. (Compare that to 2008, when Kanye, Fall Out Boy, Black Eyed Peas, Rage Against the Machine, and Death Cab for Cutie all performed in Denver.) READ FULL STORY
Dee Snider doesn't want Paul Ryan using Twisted Sister's 'We're Not Gonna Take It'
Dee Snider has spoken out against Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan reportedly using the Twisted Sister hit "We're Not Gonna Take It" at a campaign event. According to Talking Points Memo, Ryan played the song at a rally in Pennsylvania on Tuesday. Snider later issued the following statement: "I emphatically denounce Paul Ryan's use of my song 'We're Not Gonna Take It' as recorded by my band Twisted Sister. There is almost nothing on which I agree with Paul Ryan, except perhaps the use of the P90X." A rep for Ryan could not be reached for comment.
Last week, Tom Morello, guitarist for Rage Against the Machine, who Ryan has cited as one of his favorite bands, wrote an op-ed for Rolling Stone describing Ryan as "the the embodiment of the machine that our music has been raging against for two decades."

Paul Ryan gets Raged against, care of Tom Morello
One of the hazards of becoming a public figure is that you sometimes learn that the artists you idolized are not necessarily the people you thought (or hoped) they were. Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan just got an extra-intense dose of that yesterday when Rolling Stone published an op-ed written by Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello that described Ryan as "the the embodiment of the machine that our music has been raging against for two decades."
Ryan, who has cited Rage as one of his favorite bands, took it on the chin. "Ryan claims that he likes Rage's sound, but not the lyrics. Well, I don't care for Paul Ryan's sound or his lyrics," Morello wrote. "He can like whatever bands he wants, but his guiding vision of shifting revenue more radically to the one percent is antithetical to the message of Rage." READ FULL STORY
Silversun Pickups ask Mitt Romney to stop using 'Panic Switch' at events
If crazed metal frontmen are spewing made-up rhetoric and clueless candidates are using pop songs without the permission of the artists, then it must be an election season!
Last time around, it seemed like every week a candidate was chastised by a rock star for using a song without permission, and now comes one of the stranger ones in a long time. Recently, the Mitt Romney campaign used Los Angeles alt-rockers Silversun Pickups' 2009 track "Panic Switch" at an event, and that did not sit well with the band.
"We don't like people going behind our backs, using our music without asking, and we don't like the Romney campaign," Pickups frontman Brian Aubert said in a statement. "We're nice, approachable people. We won't bite. Unless you're Mitt Romney! We were very close to just letting this go because the irony was too good. While he is inadvertently playing a song that describes his whole campaign, we doubt that 'Panic Switch' really sends the message he intends."
The band has sent a cease-and-desist letter to the Romney campaign, asking that they no longer use "Panic Switch." READ FULL STORY
French presidential candidate borrows Kanye and Jay-Z's 'N--as in Paris' for campaign video
With the national election getting ready for the long summer slog, we can look forward to a cavalcade of inappropriate song use. (Remember all the musicians who got upset about John McCain using their music during the 2008 campaign? Or when Jackson Browne sued the Republicans? Or earlier this year when Tom Petty asked Michele Bachmann to stop using "American Girl"? Prepare for a whole lot of cease-and-desist letters, Mitt Romney.)
Whatever famous names and songs Romney and Barack Obama end up co-opting for their causes, neither of them will be able to top French presidential candidate François Hollande, who is in the midst of a push towards a run-off vote on May 6 with incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy. In a three-minute spot that plugs Hollande's support of the Parisian suburbs, he chose Jay-Z and Kanye West's "N—-s In Paris" as a soundtrack. He even leaves in the wacky Will Ferrell sample.
As a piece of political propaganda, it succeeds, even with lyrical snafus (that "fish filet" line sounds especially goofy in this context). Watch it below. READ FULL STORY
Kid Rock performs 'Born Free' for Mitt Romney campaign stop: Watch it here
Since no candidate so far has used "So Hott" as their campaign theme song, it looks like Kid Rock has cast his vote.
After Mitt Romney paid a personal visit to Kid Rock's home, the two native Michiganders appeared on stage together at a campaign rally in Royal Oak, Mich.
"I'm happy to introduce a son of Detroit," the Republican contender said to his audience. "A friend, a guy who makes great music, who introduces me by DVD everywhere I go: Kid Rock!"
The long-haired musician and his band then ran through "Born Free," the song that Romney has adopted as his campaign theme song. Check it out in the video below:

Decisions on Syria: Analysis of President Obama's speech
Pool/Getty Images
President Obama walks to the podium before addressing the nation in a live televised speech from the East Room of the White House on September 10, 2013 in Washington, DC. President Obama blended the threat of military action with the hope of a diplomatic solution as he works to strip Syria of its chemical weapons.
President Obama addressed the nation last night in a speech in which he announced he was suspending a vote from Congress on whether to strike in Syria. Obama said he supports a call from Russia to have the Syrian government hand over their chemical weapons to international powers in an effort to resolve the issue diplomatically.
He also re-emphasized the need for a U.S. response to the use of chemical weapons in Syria saying, "What kind of world will we live in if the United States of America sees a dictator brazenly violate international law with poison gas and we choose to look the other way?"
A panel of experts join Larry to analyze Obama's speech and the situation in Syria. Do you think the United States should be taking military action in Syria? Why? Why not? What do you think of these new diplomatic efforts? Did Obama's speech impact your opinion?

There's more to Liverpool than the Beatles. Get a taste of all of its flavours this weekend at the Liverpool Food & Drink Festival!
The Liverpool Food & Drink Festival is a week-long celebration of all things delicious in The Pool. The festival kicks off with a weekend launch event at Sefton Park on 1st and 2nd September, where celebrity chefs like Great British Bake Off judge Paul Hollywood and Michelin star chefs Tom Kitchin and Aiden Byrne will be making appearances. Hollywood will judge the festival's own Great Merseyside Bake-Off, which pits 12 amateur bakers against each other.
Did you know? Liverpool has its own signature dish: scouse, a meat stew traditionally made with slow-cooked lamb, carrots, onion, and potatoes, all served up with preserved beetroot, red cabbage, and bread. It's a staple on local pub menus. Scouse is also the term for the distinct accent and dialect of Liverpudlians, also known as Scousers.

Trust and estate administration is the process of marshalling, valuing, allocating and distributing the decedent's assets. The administration process also includes transfering title to assets and the preparation of the Federal Estate Tax Return. Our first concern is the stabilization of the family. Our objective is to simplify the burden of estate administration so that the family is able to focus on more personal matters.
Tax considerations are significant and factor into the administration of the estate. Our focus centers on the tax effective allocation of assets among the sub-trusts, and the preparation and timely filing of the Federal Estate Tax Return. During the process, we also anticipate additional planning that might benefit the survivors.
We strive to settle the estate without the expense, delay and publicity inherent in traditional estate administration.

You have been coming to the islands for some time now, and you love it. Every time you go, you dream of being able to be there even more, perhaps all the time. The inevitable thought occurs: why not get a house in Hawaii? The idea is grand. However, buying property in paradise can be a bit tricky. So, we wanted to share some real estate trends and terms associated with the Hawaiian Islands.
Location: Which of the islands would you like to make home? Would you like to live in the city or the country? What kind of view do you want? What type of climate? These types of questions might seem very common, but they play majorly into any decision anyone might make on where to live in the Hawaiian Islands.
Just like renting a hotel, ocean front property will cost you more. Climate is also important. Consider this: living on the east side of the Big Island will have you living in a green, tropical paradise. This is the side that gets most of the rain. It would also be very humid. Living on the leeward side of the Big Island would have you in an area that is very dry, almost desert like. On a different note, you would want to know if your property was in the line of any lava flows, earthquake faults, etc.
Living in rural Hawaii can also have some challenges. You get the seclusion, but you might also have to travel 20 miles to a grocery store, or 40 miles to a medical facility. Depending on your definition of "country," you have to research this quite a bit.
Cost: Hawaii is not the cheapest place in the world to live, but with planning, it can be done. That is why most Hawaiians have two jobs. Consider the following information on median prices for homes in Hawaii:
- The Single Family Home Resale Price average was $570,000, down 6.6 % from the 4th quarter of 2008, and 14.7% from the 1st quarter of 2008.
- The Condominium Resales average price was $300,000, down 4.9% from the 4th quarter of 2008 and 16% from the 1st quarter of 2008.[1]
One of the big trends in Hawaiian real estate right now is buying pre-foreclosure properties in a real estate short sale transaction. Noted real estate investment expert David Oswald defines a short sale as "a house sale that takes place before foreclosure is completed, and thus it avoids the property going into full foreclosure. The reason it is called a "short sale" is because the money paid for the house is short of the amount that is owed on the mortgage.[2] As it is in almost all places on the mainland, short sales are hot right now. Many Hawaiian banks are willing to work with potential short sale buyers. It could save you a lot of money. You will, though, need the help of a competent short sale expert, who knows realty law in Hawaii.
Buying a "leasehold" property can also save you a lot of money. Most people are familiar with fee simple real estate purchases. A fee simple transaction, put simply, means you own the buildings and the land. In a leasehold transaction, you will own the buildings, but not own the land. From the times of the great Mahele of 1859, when Hawaiian land was divided and sold for the first time, lease hold transactions have been very popular in Hawaii. This type of sale can save you money, because many people want to own the land and the buildings. Hence, these types of sales in Hawaii can go much cheaper. There are many long term leases that will be coming due in Hawaii soon. Reversions of the land to the original owners will take place, and there is no guarantee that the leases will be renewed. Depending upon the deal made, the buildings and property could go back the land owner. So, you have to consider these things, if you look for a good deal in leasehold property.
Construction: You may also want to pay attention to how houses are built in Hawaii. Many homes in Hawaii are not built on slab and footings, like they typically are on the mainland. Many are built on "post and pier." Put simply, the houses are placed higher in the air on a stilt like structure. Traditionally, this style home can be very cool, making use of winds to help cool the home. The downturn is if a hurricane ever hit. These types of homes can be easily damaged by heavy winds.
Some Other Terms to Know:
Hawaii State Land Court versus Regular System Recordings. Depending on the property deal in Hawaii, you could have to go to court to have your title searched. Currently, Land Court cases in Hawaii can take as long a few years to get done, as the Court is approx. two years behind. This court has exclusive jurisdiction in the Hawaii State Judiciary over cases involving land titles. The land court certifies land ownership by tracing each transaction back to the monarchy. It is laborious, to say the least.
There is some current legislation in place that would take time share recordings out of Land Court[3], which would speed the process up. However, this has not been placed into law yet. Be prepared to address the issue of titling land. Getting and submitting real estate recording documents can also be a laborious process. Currently, all real estate recording documents in Hawaii must be carried or mailed to the Bureau of Conveyances in Honolulu, where they are scanned and microfilmed.
Hawaii also has shoreline issues and two-tiered zoning regulations with the state and counties. Laws can effect how far back real property must be set from the seashore.. There could also be issues with the publics right to access the shoreline Additional land created by lava could also revert to State ownership. Hawaii real estate can be complicated!
Ahupua'a is also a term you need to know, because it involves a land division running from mountains to the sea. It is a very traditional unit of land in the Hawaiian Islands, that allowed occupants access to resources from the forests and the sea. Though most of these ahupua'as were divided up years ago, they can still effect legal definitions of property. The ahupua'a of Kea'au is an example. Some of the sale of land by the Shipman family uses the old boundaries.
The best way to know the real estate trends and terms of the Hawaiian Island is to seek the help of a real estate professional from the Island. There advise could save you a lot of time and energy. Here's to you being able to say, "E Komo Mai." (Welcome to our home.)

Long Live the New CEO!
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The media reports nothing less effectively than a changing of the guard. When a new CEO marches in, they are either worshipful -- see Yahoo! (YHOO), J.C. Penney (JCP) and plenty more -- or merely deliver the bare bones facts, like what the new guy will get paid and how the stock reacted to the announcement.
Comically, we are often told the new CEO is going to spend months "listening to stakeholders." For a trader, such information is useless. Before all else, a trader needs to know: what's this Newjack's best -- and worst -- attribute?
Check out coverage of Barclays (BCS), the beleaguered bank, which just announced that they were filling their vacant corner office with Anthony Jenkins, their former head of retail banking. From Reuters to The New York Times, you get little more than resume fill-out on Jenkins, from his education background to that salary.
Here's knee-slapper: CNBC gave us an article on the planned Jenkins listening tour: "New Barclays CEO's 'Root and Branch Review.'" The Wall Street Journal, by contrast, does a trader's soul some good. With his consumer background, the Journal noted, Jenkins presence leaves glaring open questions about the scandal-plagued bank's enormous investment-banking arm. But there is potential positive too, as the Journal also pointed out: "installing a mild-mannered Brit to replace the sometimes-brash American" could help the bank with European regulators. The guard has changed. We all know the new guard is going to be paid and prattle on about listening. But most importantly, his presence means possible good -- and bad. This article is commentary by an independent contributor, separate from TheStreet's regular news coverage.

November Reviews
December 02, 2007 (07:48 PM)
So, I
managed to attempt to play through SotN for the first time Friday. Skip to this Sunday, and I'm about to finish up the first castle. I got to the "boss", defeated him... and credits roll. Now, this may have been the first time I'm playing through it, but it's been about ten years since the game originally came out, and I know
things about the game. Like it not ending there...
After the credits finished up, I started the game again, and decided to roam the castle a bit more to see if I have missed anything. I ended up getting some stuff, but nothing I figured would make a difference. So, I toggled through the items menu to see if there was anything I needed to equip. Then I remembered that ring with a vague description I got right before I had the battle. I put it on, fought the boss again... and credits.
Annoyed, I stared at the map for a few seconds, wondering what I missed. Then I wandered around for a little bit, thinking some more. At this time, I was almost about to give up and do something I hate to do: look at a faq. So, I got online, and before I looked one up, I ended up asking blu first, and he gave me vague answers about rings and a succubus to access some goggles. I started up the game again, and that's when I noticed an area that I didn't roam that I forgot all about. Figures that the succubus was in that area...
Still, the game was still vague with what I had to do after I defeated her, and on my way to the boss again with the rings, I
stumbled onto a hidden area with the goggles...
Now, I don't want the game to hold my hand the whole way, but come on, don't be too vague about hints. Same type of incident happened in AoS, where I resorted to reading a faq. Gah.
Oh well, I'm on the second castle now.
December 03, 2007 (03:30 PM)
At least in the case of SotN, when I finally got around to playing it
not that long ago, I think somewhere in 2006
, I KNEW when I got the premature ending that that was what it was.
Not so when I played my first round of Aria of Sorrow. I thought that's how the tale ended and the rest was for a sequel or something. You only fall for that once though - it's now something of a Castlevania tradition to have those fake halfway endings.

2013 Hyundai Genesis sedan
Choose Hyundai Genesis Style:
C/D Overview:
There are many large, rear-wheel-drive luxury cars on the market, but none are as affordable as the Hyundai Genesis. While feature content and powertrain specs appear competitive, no Genesis can match the performance feel of its German-branded competitors. Compared to similarly priced Acura and Lexus models, however, the Genesis is more compelling.
Base Price: $35,095 - $47,695
Pretty lights, outstanding luxury value, refined manners, powerful base V-6, prodigious optional R-Spec V-8, eight-speed automatic transmission.
Conservative to a fault, slow-to-react eight-speed transmission, can't touch the Germans' performance cred.
What's New
Redesigned in 2008, refreshed for 2012, Blue Link telematics added for 2013.
Behind The Wheel
The Genesis received numerous praiseworthy suspension upgrades as well as a stronger base 3.8-liter V-6 for 2012. Available R-Spec model with 429-hp V-8 is very competitive on paper, though hardly racy in character.
