| Man, Mango and Mojito
Kapolanialaimaka “Kapo" Kealoha is the Executive Chef at Tiki's Grill & Bar in Waikiki. Since he returned from culinary stints in Wyoming and Northern California to take the top job at Tiki's, he's worked to accomplish three things: create an all-new breakfast buffet service, expand the over-all level of food and service, and teach all employees how to pronounce his first name. We hear he's nailed the first two, but using the nickname “Kapo" just might indicate goal number three is a bit more elusive than first thought. Kapo's a local man, having attended Moanalua High School and then cracking the culinary arts books at the Travel Institute of the Pacific. He's got a ton of local experience under his belt, not including those two sojourns at the Four Seasons Hotels already alluded to in paragraph one.

Poll: Stress divides young by gender
Stressed out by your high-pressured job? Don't assume your kid is any less stressed out by school. Especially if she's a she. Young people experience stress at a high rate, and females more than males, an extensive Associated Press/MTV survey shows. A similar divide exists in terms of fears and safety: Girls and young women are less likely to feel safe in their neighborhoods, in schools, or from terror attacks. The source of stress changes as we get older, the survey shows. Among 13-17 year olds, school is by far the most commonly mentioned source. Among 18-24 year olds, it's jobs and financial matters. In all, fully 85 percent of young people said they felt stress at least sometimes. "I'm a pretty high-stressed person," says Katie Duda, 21, who's finishing up a degree in culinary arts and awaiting the birth of her first child in a few weeks.
