The Hawaiian Humane Society is barking for cars on O'ahu.
The organization has accepted car donations for the past five years. It seeks vehicles in running condition with a clear Hawai'i title (no lienholders listed), current registration and safety check. Vehicles must be free of unpaid violations, and driven to the society's auction partner, Aloha Auto Auction, 1001 Ahua St. (Vehicles valued at $5,000 or more must have an appraisal.)
Information: 946-2187, ext. 221. Go to hawaiianhumane.org/donations for car donation forms.

Show creator Mark Burnett, who has produced such reality programs as "The Apprentice" and the upcoming "The Contender," has hired David Goffin, a supervising producer from Fox's "Idol," to plan a TV competition that puts a rock spin on things, says Variety. The intention is to discover a lead singer who could step into an internationally known rock act. Goffin was in Hawai'i for the "Idol" auditions last year.
Young, single and caffeinated
A survey on how single professionals spend their time and money may shed light on why there always seems to be a line at Starbucks.
When singles are out, 89 percent spend money on gourmet coffee, and 56 percent spend up to $30 a week on alcohol, a study conducted for It's Just Lunch dating service said.
Almost half of singles (45 percent) spend $20 to $40 on lunch each week, the survey said. If the lunch is a first date, most singles consider how messy a meal is when ordering and are unlikely to order a dessert. Almost half (42 percent) think it is unacceptable to order a cocktail during a first lunch date.
