Incisal Edge Unveils New Look, Fresh Perspective

Pittston, Pa (PRWEB) September 21, 2011

Dentistry is constantly evolving ? from the techniques employed to those who are practicing in the field. Revitalizing Benco Dental?s Incisal Edge magazine was necessary to meet the needs of today?s dentists. The revamped magazine fills a void left by other publications aimed at the dental and medical communities. Never before has a magazine spoken directly to dental professionals both in and out of the office.

Benco Dental?s goal was to create a dynamic publication, whose look, feel and content soars beyond traditional dental or medical professional magazines. While Incisal Edge continues to be a trusted source in the industry for up-to-the-minute news about the latest techniques and tools, the new magazine breaks free from the stale, standard ways of presenting this information.

?Our approach to the redesign involved enhancing what was already working and identifying new features that would capture the interest of the modern dentist,? explains Chuck Cohen, managing director of Benco Dental.

To reflect what?s relevant to readers, Incisal Edge aims to spotlight the best of the best. Its inaugural issue does just that with its cover feature, ?Top 40 Under 40? which names the top dentists practicing in the United States age 40 and under.

?We want Incisal Edge to be a direct reflection of the profession,? says Rick Cohen, managing director of Benco Dental. ?Redesigning the magazine was necessary to capture the energy and enthusiasm of today?s dentistry.?

New sections appearing each issue include ?Open Bites? which features the hottest and coolest places, people, tools and happenings. In this section, dentists learn about the latest tools fellow dentists can?t live without, charities their peers participate in and dental events held throughout the country in the coming months.

The ?Success? section profiles the best in the business. Features include Incisal Edge Hall of Fame dentists who have left a huge mark on the profession, dentists who have unique partnerships within their practice and those who are effectively using leading edge tools or techniques.

In addition, Incisal Edge has added unique content that speaks to dentists outside of the workplace. Lifestyle features include reviews of exotic vacation destinations and round-ups of the best in luxury items from cars to watches.

The new Incisal Edge can be viewed as a digital publication at benco.com and is now available by subscription.

Kauai’i, HI (PRWEB) September 13, 2011

The Golf Course at Kukui`ula is a private 18-hole signature design by Tom Weiskopf, that lies at the heart of Kukui?ula, Hawaii?s first major new luxury residential community in a more than a decade. Located on the sunny southern coastline of Kaua?i, the northernmost island in the Hawaiian chain, this new creation by the British Open winner (1973) and designer of more than 50 courses worldwide provides a unique island-style golf experience for players of all ages and skill levels.

?Tom Weiskopf has designed the Golf Course at Kukui?ula to complement the island?s rolling terrain, dramatic view planes and trade winds,? says Brian Paul, Kukui?ula?s head golf professional. ?It?s a roller coaster ride that builds in momentum and excitement.?

The championship 7,000-yard emerald jewel, featuring paspalum-turf and sand-plated fairways, follows the natural undulating flow of the landscape through the coffee fields, meadows and rolling hillsides of Kukui?ula that will bring into play a variety of options during the round. As a bonus, players are rewarded with a picturesque scene of the surrounding native flora and spectacularly sweeping views of the ocean, Kukui’ula Harbor and Spouting Horn ? a landmark in the area.

?On almost every hole at Kukui?ula something grows that can be eaten or worn,? says Paul. ?From macadamia trees to pineapple to lychee orchards to crown flower forests, the golf course celebrates the tropical vibrancy of Kaua?i.?

In addition to the par-72 layout, Kukui?ula includes a $ 100 million club facility that serves as the social and recreational hub of the community where members have access to The Plantation House, golf clubhouse, 20,000 square foot world-class spa with indoor/outdoor treatment rooms, extensive fitness facilities, a movement studio for Yoga and Pilates, a collection of swimming pools and locker rooms. Also on property is a 26-acre community farm and fishing lake (catch and release).

Kukui?ula, named after the kukui or candlenut torches that once guided fisherman back home to the island, includes a portfolio of custom ocean-view home sites and signature cottages. The assorted neighborhood cottage collections available in this luxury residential community range in size from 1,500 to 3,800 square feet, and start at $ 2.2 million, with custom home sites beginning at $ 1 million.

?We are extremely excited to offer individuals and families the chance to experience first-hand the natural beauty and genuine traditions of Kaua?i in this new residential community,? said Brent Herrington, president of Kukui?ula. ?Kukui?ula is the perfect marriage of luxury living and casual lifestyle. Everyday our residents are presented with an array of engaging opportunities to immerse themselves in the beauty of the surrounding area and the true culture of this island.?

Sea-Alliance Group Celebrates Charter Booking Success


(PRWEB UK) 1 September 2011

The company attributes the increased interest, which is mostly from new customers, to the vessel?s increased profile, achieved as a result of its strategic promotional activities in the early part of this year.

Until October MY Donizetti will be cruising around Sardinia, the South of France, Corsica and Greece, and those who have chartered her will typically spend anything from five days to up to two weeks at a time on-board.

Roy Klajman, Director of Sea-Alliance Group, said: ?We were delighted with the enthusiastic response to Donizetti at the boat shows and believe that the significant level of interest that she has attracted this year is a fair reflection of her beautiful condition, ample facilities and the fact that she can accommodate up to ten guests.

SilverLeaf Financial Acquires a $17.7 Million Non-Performing Loan Secured by Residential Condo/Retail Development in Salt Lake City, UT


Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) December 27, 2011

SilverLeaf Financial recently announced the acquisition of a $ 17.7 Million non-performing loan, secured by a residential condominium and retail development in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. The primary collateral of the loan is the Broadway Park Lofts development. The project is comprised of 86 total residential condos, 34 of which are completed and move-in ready. The remaining 52 condos along with the commercial retail space (9,490 SF) on the ground level are in gray-shell condition. The condo units range in size from 550 – 1,134 SF and have 1 or 2 bedrooms. 87 underground parking spaces are available on site to accommodate the condominium owners. The ground level office/retail space is split into six units along with 23 additional parking spaces.

The project had experienced numerous delays in the past few years, and is now ready for completion. The development has been approved for FHA financing which will facilitate sales to more end buyers of the units. The loan originated in 2006 for the purpose of refinancing an existing loan made by the developer as well as to provide additional funds for the construction of the development. Included in the collateral are 4 large commercial units located in a mixed use condo development nearby. The loan is also secured by a second lien on an 11,816 SF multi-tenant retail building in Salt Lake City.

The metropolitan real estate market in Salt Lake City is improving, and there is a strong demand for affordable downtown living. Substantial revitalization efforts are underway by the city, which include three blocks of new residences, offices and retail stores opening in the spring of 2012. The city hopes that this face lift will spark sales and increase nearby real estate values, thus improving the overall economic health of the city. The majority of the other newly constructed high rise condo developments are considered ?luxury living?. This will put projects like Broadway Park Lofts in a good position to offer condominium buyers a prime location downtown at a lower price point.

About SilverLeaf Financial

Headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, SilverLeaf Financial is a private equity firm focused on acquiring non-performing commercial loans secured by first position trust deeds. These assets are acquired from the FDIC, regional banks, national banks, special servicers and other financial institutions for the purpose of future monetization.
