Three quarters of the way through the NHL season, Scott Cullen hands out his NHL awards, with new winners, including Evgeni Malkin and Erik Karlsson, virtually across the board.
Winner: Evgeni Malkin, Pittsburgh
Runners-up: Claude Giroux, Philadelphia; Steven Stamkos, Tampa Bay
Comment: As the season goes along, it often becomes evident which player is most deserving of the Hart Trophy and that's certainly been the case this year. Evgeni Malkin was good early in the year, before hitting great for a long stretch that allowed him to pull away from the other challengers, including Claude Giroux, the midseason pick for the honour. While some might prefer to include a goaltender, like Henrik Lundqvist, Steven Stamkos' production (44 goals, 76 points) is deserving of recognition.
Winner: Erik Karlsson, Ottawa
Runners-up: Shea Weber, Nashville; Zdeno Chara, Boston
Comment: When Erik Karlsson wasn't included among the midseason nominees, it was largely because he didn't face the same calibre of competition that workhorses like Shea Weber, Zdeno Chara and Nicklas Lidstrom faced on a nightly basis. While that level of competition hasn't changed dramatically, Karlsson's production (15 goals, 66 points in 64 games) has been so exceptional that it can't be overlooked any longer.
Winner: Henrik Lundqvist, N.Y. Rangers
Runners-up: Jonathan Quick, Los Angeles; Tim Thomas, Boston
Comment: If Brian Elliott or Jaroslav Halak played more frequently, they could work their way into the discussion, but the award appears headed for Lundqvist, barring a late charge by Quick, who has been terrific, yet criminally neglected by the Kings' offence. There could be any number of viable alternatives to Thomas, who has been good, but not lights-out like last season. One of the Blues, Mike Smith or Pekka Rinne seem like viable candidates.
Winner: Gabriel Landeskog, Colorado
Runners-up: Adam Henrique, New Jersey; Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Edmonton
Comment: At every stage of the season, there has been a different winner for this award, and a surging Gabriel Landeskog gets the edge over Adam Henrique now. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins may not be able to overcome missing 20 games with shoulder injuries, but if he goes on a scoring tear for the last 20 games, it's not inconceivable that he could force his way back into the mix.
Winner: Patrice Bergeron, Boston
Runners-up: Dave Bolland, Chicago; Mike Fisher, Nashville
Comment: As always there are many worthy candidates, including those who aren't necessarily big-time scorers, like Pavel Datsyuk and Jonathan Toews -- two that will likely garner more widespread consideration -- but Patrice Bergeron is a worthy winner, winning draws and playing a strong two-way game. Dave Bolland starts so many shifts in the defensive zone (www.behindthenet.ca) and takes on the toughest assignments night after night, so he warrants inclusion, even with his minus-8 rating. Fisher is having a tremendous all-around season and, like Bolland, takes on tough checking assignments while starting more in the defensive zone. Brandon Sutter, Joe Pavelski, Jordan Staal, David Backes and Ryan Callahan, among others, could all warrant recognition too.
Winner: Paul MacLean, Ottawa
Runners-up: Ken Hitchcock, St. Louis; Dave Tippett, Phoenix
Comment: Given the Senators' expectations this season, it would be hard to vote against MacLean, who has brought out the best in his players, both young and old. There shouldn't be any question whether or not he's made the most of the talent he has at his disposal. Ken Hitchcock brought an immediate turnaround to the Blues and Bruce Boudreau might work his way into the discussion if the Anaheim Ducks make it into the postseason. Perennial contenders Dave Tippett and Barry Trotz always seem to get better results than the sum of the parts on their roster -- and both Phoenix and Nashville are having strong seasons again -- so at least one needs to be considered.

Jim Brunson, publisher of the Progress Times and Winter Texan Times, today announced the launch of a new publication, the Sharyland Times. The new weekly newspaper will serve local residents of Mission and McAllen with a special emphasis on news affecting residents of the Sharyland area.
As of today, the first edition of the Sharyland Times newspaper is now circulated at over 100 newsstand locations set up at local businesses in addition to several thousand delivered directly to homes in the Sharyland area.
"We have seen a growing need and interest in better local news coverage of events, activities and local government news as it affects this unique area of the Valley," said Brunson. "This is a need we can fill very effectively, as this product will complement the coverage we already provide through the Progress Times."
"This addition to our family of newspapers will be of tremendous benefit to our advertisers, as well," Brunson added. "Our advertisers in the Progress Times will benefit from the thousands or readers added to our circulation through the Sharyland Times, as their ads will appear in both publications."
The Progress Times has been the "hometown" newspaper serving Mission and Western Hidalgo County for 40 years. The Winter Texan Times is the Rio Grande Valley's leading newspaper for Winter Texans. Its circulation reaches over 25,000 during the winter months, covering the RV and mobile home parks and other strategic locations from Mission to South Padre Island.
Brunson is the sole owner of Mission Publishing Company and Times Media Group, Inc. In addition to the Times publications, he is also the publisher of the Rio Grande Valley Visitors Guide and the Rio Grande Valley Mobile Home and RV Park Directory. Both publications are delivered across the Valley with a circulation of over 32,000.
Look for the new sharylandtimes.com website to launch later this month.

Three white rural Democrats in the House have switched party loyalty in the last 48 hours. And we understand that three more are being courted by House Republicans.
So by the time the House Democratic caucus assembles at 1 p.m. today to elect new leadership, the group could be down to 65 members – barely more than the third of the chamber needed to block a constitutional amendment.
Two candidates have presented themselves for House minority leader, to replace the departing DuBose Porter of Dublin: Stacey Abrams of Atlanta and Virgil Fludd of Tyrone. Calvin Smyre of Columbus, former chairman of the state Democratic party, had been urged into the contest by some — but has decided to stay on the sidelines.
Abrams and I happened to be at the same Georgia State University event last night – which looked at the aftereffects of the Nov. 2 vote.
I asked her how Democrats intended to climb out of their hole. The 36-year-old tax lawyer said to think of politics as a product. "You can try to steal support, or you can create a new market. I think you have to create a new market," she said.
So what does that mean? The racial segregation of Georgia vote is devastating to Democrats, who depend on a biracial coalition for success. Breaking out of the box means moving the topic off race – a difficult proposition in the South.
Gender may be the answer, Abrams and others think. The Republican party has become the party of the white male Georgian. White female voters have become the decision-makers in elections – the swing voters.
To climb out of the black-versus-white box, Democrats will need to create a different, male-versus-female box – with education and economic security as the primary issues.
At that same GSU event was state Rep. Mary Margaret Oliver (D-Decatur). She agreed. "It's very important that the gender gap be understood by the Democratic party now," she said.
A woman, by the way, has never been named leader of a House or Senate caucus.
Fludd has sent a letter to members of the House Democratic caucus that includes this:
Our troubles as a party and as a caucus pale in comparison with the very real troubles of our fellow citizens. Unemployment is still high; our poverty rate grows. Our schools are struggling. …
Our new caucus should be smarter, better at communicating, more forceful at times, and at others, willing to work across party lines on sound policy for the betterment of our fellow Georgians. Most importantly, we should be what we've always been – true to our ideals and our principles.
Another tidbit from the GSU event: I asked the lawmakers there if they would be willing to pledge allegiance to the state flag of Georgia as part of the daily opening ritual when the Legislature convenes in January.
Abrams said she could not. She pledges allegiance to the American flag – and allegiance, she argued, isn't something that can be pledged twice. Not if it's to mean anything. State Sen. Emanuel Jones (D-Decatur), chairman of the Legislative Black Caucus, said he'll abstain as well. "That's when I head for the anteroom," he quipped.
Carol Porter, the former candidate for lieutenant governor, has also jumped into the whither-Democrats discussion with this post on her Facebook page:
"Alan Powell, Bob Hanner & Gerald Greene switched parties for a reason. The "Democratic Tent" in GA has become so small it can not cover even those in it. Harsh yes, but someone has to say it.
"Many wavering Dems feel excluded by the narrow message. If elected officials feel comfortable switching, imagine how easy it will be for voters. It is called political science for a reason and it is time for wholesale change in the DPG."
Over at PeachPundit.com, Chris Huttman says switching parties may not save Bob Hanner or Gerald Greene when it comes to redistricting. Here's just a taste:
"According to 2009 census estimates (which tend to undercount urban areas, which means the numbers will actually be even worse) Hanner and Greene's districts have a population of approximately 44,000 people each. Well here's the problem – Georgia's population is estimated to be 9.8 million, and 1/180th of that is 54,606.
"That means that each one of these districts will go into redistricting at about 80% of the population needed to make a district, meaning that they'll each need to come up with an additional 15% or so (under Roy rules) or 19% (under Larios rules)."
Newly re-elected U.S. Rep. Sanford Bishop was one of those attending a retirement event for state Agriculture Commissioner Tommy Irvin. Upon approaching the podium, he said, "I'm Lazarus and I'm proud to be standing."
Bishop also read a letter of congratulations to Irvin from President Barack Obama, which was received with polite applause.
The state GOP has a new executive director – or at least an acting one. Kevin Harris, a former chairman of the 9th District GOP, will replace Toby Carr, who has joined Gov.-elect Nathan Deal's transition team.

If the democrats would simply get on with the business of improving this country without trying to gain new entitlements for their constituents, their party will grow once more. As a former dem turned independent, I continue to vote for the candidate that at least appears to be interested in advancing this country without harming others in the process. Neither party is doing a good job. The democrats have chosen to align themselves as "progressives", which to many in this country means socialist. Push the reset button and focus on the business at hand without pandering, people will see the difference.

to heck with it:
" without trying to gain new entitlements for their constituents"
The democrats have for years "bought" votes with the money of taxpayers through the "entitlement programs". I don't believe they know any other way to function.
"The democrats have chosen to align themselves as "progressives", which to many in this country means socialist"
What else could it mean? The electorate recognized it and wanted nothing to do with it. The democrats just don't understand that the American public isn't buying what they are selling.

President Reagan signed a bill that greatly expanded Medicare.
George W Bush signed the socialist Medicare Part D drug benefit bill. Gov-elect Nathan Deal voted YES. Republicans are responsible for some of the most expensive entitlement programs the past 50 years.
Now the modern Tea Party has joined the act. Did you hear Sen Elect Rand Paul's comments concerning Congressional earmarks? No, not the comments he made right up until the day of the election vowing to all in his most demanding Tea Party tone…. "NO MORE EARMARKS!"
It took the Tea Party idol one whole week to back away from his no earmarks pledge. He wants his entitlement.

Most conservatives believe that the role of the Federal government is to provide a military, protect our boarders, Foreign policy, take care of our veterans and protect the senior citizens. The rest of the Federal government can be dismantled. If you took Medicaid out of Medicare then Medicare would be viable for many years to come.

"To climb out of the black-versus-white box, Democrats will need to create a different, male-versus-female box – with education and economic security as the primary issues."
"Economic security" is a Democrat code word for government intervention in things such as setting wages, establishing HR policies, and adding additional workplace regulations that, collectively, distort the market for labor.
As has been demonstrated ad nauseum for decades, government distortion of markets results in bad outcomes for citizens in terms of peoples' ability to get and hold a job and in terms of their quality of life.
Recently, government mega-distorted the financial services, housing, mortgage, student loan, and automobile markets. We will be paying heavy consequences for generations to come.
Democrats–and Republicans–should stand up for economic opportunity rather than seek guaranteed outcomes.

The rest of the Federal government can be dismantled. If you took Medicaid out of Medicare then Medicare would be viable for many years to come."
Most conservatives in Georgia make sure they protect one of their dearest entitlements of all, the building of unnecessary military aircraft that provide billions in entitlement dollars to entitlement loving Cobb County.

" the building of unnecessary military aircraft "
There is no such thing. It is just the opposite. Lockheed needed to build many more F-22's and start replacing the outdated F-16, F-15 and F-18's. BTW: Lockheed provides many democratic union jobs.

I understand there is a pill that reduces the bleeding to only 4 times per year. I would think that some women might be interested in that one.
November 10th, 2010

I'd go for that.
Scrap the non-job creating stimulus plan that guarantees perpetual indebtedness and is now causing the Fed to monetize the debt which will result in super inflation–and instead build some more F-22s that provide for our physical security.
One has to have his priorities straight.
I'm not sure that "most conservatives" wake up in the morning thinking of the F-22 aircraft, but many of us do think of freedom–especially after having our freedoms rolled back in the last couple of years.
Thanks to our veterans and current military personnel in all services including the skilled and brave pilots who fly the F-22 and also the folks who maintain, design, and build them.
God Bless You.

If an official changes parties after being elected or re-elected, the post should be vacated and a new election held. Voters need to know the candidates position up front. Jim Marshall would've changed parties if he hab been re-elected. If I choose to vote for you as a Dem or Rep, I deserve for you to remain with my chosen party until the next election!!!

Get a grip, people! What brainiac came up with the idea to change from a "black vs white" to a "women vs men" strategy? Both are plenty stupid. How about focusing on basic life issues of importance to all Georgians, regardless of race or gender?

"Democrats in Fulton county keep dumping on the North Fulton residents. No way in hades will I ever vote the democratic slime maggots in this state."
Right on. It reminds me of Georgia Republicans. The slime maggots in the Statehouse feed rural Georgia their big heaping pile of Atlanta entitlement dollars every year. 35% of metro-Atlanta tax dollars are diverted to other parts of the state, it's an entitlement frenzy.
Its highway robbery, literally.

The problem with the Georgia Democratic party is simply this: You cannot win in modern times unless you're willing to trash your ideals and go "all Rovian" on your opponent's behind. (Those rape ads were a lame attempt, too little, too late, and ignored the real achielles heel that should have been attacked without mercy.) The political landscape has changed in the past 20 years. The rules have changed. If you're not willing to fight nasty, you lose. Those who fight the nastiest always win.
The Dems mistakenly appeal to the voters' better natures. Helloooo? The voters don't HAVE better natures. Appeal to their sins and call them virtues, and win their loyalty forever. "Your greed is healthy. Your prejudice is valid. Your hatred is justified. Selfish is how God intended you to be."
That's what the GOP does every single day. You cannot disprove what is true, and the Dems in this state need to wake the *bleep* up and face the ugly truth.

After the 8 Years Of The Bush/Cheney Disaster, Now You Get Mad?
You didn't get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President.
You didn't get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate Energy policy and push us to invade Iraq .
You didn't get mad when a covert CIA operative got outed.
You didn't get mad when the Patriot Act got passed.
You didn't get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us. You didn't get mad when we spent over 800 billion (and counting) on said illegal war.
You didn't get mad when Bush borrowed more money from foreign sources than the previous 42 Presidents combined.
You didn't get mad when over 10 billion dollars in cash just disappeared in Iraq .
You didn't get mad when you found out we were torturing people.
You didn't get mad when Bush embraced trade and outsourcing policies that shipped 6 million American jobs out of the country.
You didn't get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping Americans.
You didn't get mad when we didn't catch Bin Laden.
You didn't get mad when Bush rang up 10 trillion dollars in combined budget and current account deficits.
You didn't get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed.
You didn't get mad when we let a major US city, New Orleans drown.
You didn't get mad when we gave people who had more money than they could spend, the filthy rich, over a trillion dollars in taxbreaks. You didn't get mad with the worst 8 years of job creations in several decades.
You didn't get mad when over 200,000 US Citizens lost their lives because they had no health insurance.
You didn't get mad when lack of oversight and regulations from the Bush Administration caused US Citizens to lose 12 trillion dollars in investments, retirement, and home values.
No…..You finally got mad
When a black man was elected President and decided that people in America deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick.
Yes, illegal wars, lies, corruption, torture, job losses by the millions, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich richer, and the worst economic disaster since 1929 are all okay with you, but helping fellow Americans who are sick…Oh, Hell No!!

For all you Repubs dumping on the Democrats, get a grip. The politicians don't support programs that aren't dear to the majority of votes – white people. Social Security, Medicare, and Defense spending make up the majority of government spending. I am waiting for the day when you idiots actually start doing something instead of borrowing and spending. Republicans are the same "socialists" as the Democrats. You tax and spend. Police, fire, educators, , military, etc all receive your socialist tax dollars. You are either too stupid to realize what you are talking about, or just plain stupid. Either way, grow up little boys and go play outside.

The Georgia Republicans are great. They cut our taxes, increased-then-cut spending, got all these corporation to create all these new jobs that has kept unemployment low, refused federal stimulus funds, improved the healthcare delivery system, improved transportion and logistics, greatly improved education by cutting budgets, giving tax breaks to fund private and charter schools, and insured that the federal government did not create any private sector jobs through the military industrial complex.

I think I heard that same rant made by either Rachel Meadows of Keith Olbermann(sp?) the day after the election. It was false then and it is false now. I can guarantee you Barnes spent way much more money on opposition research then Deal did in this election cycle. He just did not have to pay for getting it out because this paper was a very willing participant.
November 10th, 2010
12:26 pm
If I'm wrong, then why do I hear Republicans every day touting those sins as virtues? Deny it all you want. I'm not wrong. (BTW, I did not watch Olbermann, Maddow, or ANY news the day after the election. If they made those observations, it validates what I see with my own eyes, and hear with my own ears.) The truth isn't always pretty, but at least I have the balls to face it.

Some people that think the federal government cannot create jobs and are against wasteful government spending. However, the same people want a private company to get a government contract to build more out-dated and excessively expensive F-22′'s. These same people don't know that the US has committed to building 183 of them at a cost of $62 BILLION, and probably can't understand why there is a federal law barring the export sale of the F-22's.

Republican spending helped create our deficit. I can't wait to see how they plan to fix all of their recent mistakes when they take back the House in January.

Oh goodie what this means is that instead of playing the race care our politicians will play the gender card. And if THAT does not work maybe they can play BOTH of them. Until the Politicians start listening to what the people they are supposed to represent instead of the The Powers That Be. Both of our major political Parties will be hemorrhaging voters. Just because you are the party in power does NOT give you a mandate to spend the taxpayers money like it grows on trees for your pet projects. Balance the Budget, bring down the deficit, Close up the Borders where illegals and terrorist are not streaming through it like a raging river. And You just may keep your jobs. failure to do these things will result in your unemployment. Listen to the voices of the silent Majority instead of the squeaky minority. Because WE the majority are finding our voices and are beginning to Roar.

When the Dems realize that the only color that matters is GREEN (as in money, not environmentalism), then they will begine to succeed. As long as they think "Oh, we should play the gender card, now!" or any other card, they will FAIL. And if Nancy Pelosi is made the minority leader, I predict more and more failure. The Democrats will do to themselves what the GOP could only dream of doing to them.

Women voters have been determining the outcome of elections for more than a few years now. The Democratic Party of Georgia has represented and attracted a cross section of voters and candidates in recent years. The Democratic statewide slate was diverse and qualified. Campaigning for Democratic votes has changed and the DPG has just started making the adjustments to reach the cross section of voters needed to win. Every woman elected offical I have spoken with during election cycle knew women – young, old, white, black, Latino, Asian- would decide the election either by voting or staying at home. My father and mother belonged to different parties but often voted for the same candidates based on the candidates' positions on various issues. Party affiliation is but one factor in a voter's decision to vote for a candidate or to stay home. Having reliable, timely, information about election issues from media is another.
Some voters got tired of the negative campaigining; others didn't think their vote counted and some didn't find much difference between the candidates. I understand the latter group since the television ads for some of the candidates were as far from the truth as you could get. One candidate ran on business savy and experience when his personal and business finances are a mess. Another ran on a platform of making investments in education, when the state under his leaership has cut nearly $4 billion in public education funding in the last 8 years. Some candidates ran their campaigns against the President, while begging for federal Stimulus funding to balance the state's budget for the last 2 years. The State of Georgia budget, planning and operations (mental health, transportation, education, wateri, trauma care to name a few) are in dismal condition today. Yet voters had little reliable information from the media or the candidates to judge the abilities of the candidates to tackle the tough problems we face.

John Boehner, Speaker of the House has a tinkerbell ring to it. I can't wait to see him downsize the Speaker's jet, reduce his tee times in order to keep the four-day work sessions, require that all bills to be read before voting, have open hearings on real policy issues, present a budget (with numbers) that eliminates $1.8 trillion in spending within the next two years, make the tax cuts permanent even for the bailed out bankers, eliminate the stimulus package funds, cry more to keep our troops in the Middle East, over turn all of those liberal laws passed like equal pay for women, and foward the new 48-page healthcare bill. What do you want to bet that he will do any of these things?
November 10th, 2010

I did my research into what the republicans voted for if they were in office. Every time their votes benefitted those making $250,000 or better and hurt those making less. Also, I had a problem with a Government Agency and contacted my Republican Senators and my Democratic Congressman. Not even a form letter from the Republicans, but I got an immediate call from my Congressman's office and they got right on it–AMAZING! A public servant ACTUALLY SERVED THE PUBLIC! So you will never see me vote Republican again until I see that they are benefitting my demographic–a husband out of work for a year after steadily working for 35 years, a disabled sister and elderly father to care, all on my secretary's pay. Count me in as a woman who LEAPS willingly from the Republican side to the Democrats.

Some of you seem to have taken this discussion away from the original question of whether women can stop Democratic bleeding. It dawned on me that the chair of the Democratic Party of Georgia and the person who has been running the state party for the last 4 years IS a woman! And Democrats are much worse off than they were 4 years ago, so it seems the answer to the question is "no."
Which makes one wonder whether Jane Kidd, Matt Weyendt, et. al., are back from the expense-paid trip to the DNC winter meeting in Washington, DC, that began this past Friday evening? Partying with Democrats from across the country, many of whom had decent results in their states, seems like fiddling while Rome burns.
With Democrats on the front line here in Georgia trying to figure out where to from here, Jane, Matt and GA's DNC representatives went to Washington to find out how to" put lipstick on that pig" we called an election last week. Now they will come back and do the old blame-shift routine – "Don't blame us – we just run the Democratic Party of Georgia!"

Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Beat in cream just until blended. Do not overmix.
Spoon the batter into the springform pan. Place pan in a large shallow pan of hot water. Water should come about 1 inch up the sides of the pan. Bake about 1 & 1/4 hours, unitl the edges are light golden brown and the top is slightly golden tan.

Butter the bottom and sides of two 9-inch round cake pans. Line the bottom of both pans with parchment paper.
Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Melt chocolate in water in the microwave and set aside to cool. Beat butter and sugar on medium speed of an electric mixer. The mixture should be light yellow and creamy. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each. Mix in melted chocolate and vanilla. Using a wooden spoon, stir in flour mixture, alternating with buttermilk, blending well after each.
Beat egg whites and cream of tartar on high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold about a third of the whites into the chocolate batter, then the remaining whites.
Divide the batter evenly between the two cake pans. Bake about 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a moist crumb. Cool cakes in pans on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Turn onto a cooling rack and peel off paper liners. Let cakes cool completely, about 2 hours. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to assemble the cake.
Coconut frosting
Preheat oven to 350°. Spread nuts on a large rimmed baking sheet. Toast until golden, about 5 minutes, tossing a couple of times. Set aside to cool.
Toast 1/4 cup of coconut in the same way. Set aside.
Mix sugar and flour in a large saucepan. Add cream, milk, butter, and vanilla. Stir until well combined. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat until thick and golden brown, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in toasted nuts and untoasted coconut. Refrigerate about 30 minutes, until thick enough to spread.

While Dave Grohl gathered an eclectic group of artists to make new music for his documentary, Sound City , there was one musical paring that he wasn't able to make happen. The Foo Fighters frontman says that he wanted to get Weezer singer Rivers Cuomo and pop icon Barry Manilow together in the studio to collaborate on a new song for the film.
"[Manilow] was the first person who said he'd do it but was the last we tracked down," he tells U.K. 's The Sun . "I was this f**king close to getting them on a record. I thought it was going to happen, it would've been f**king huge."
In other Grohl news, the singer will be performing with the Sound City Players , a band comprised of some of the artists who appear in Sound City , on Tuesday night on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live! Accompanying Grohl for the appearance will be all the members of the Foo Fighters , former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic , Queens of the Stone Age multi-instrumentalist Alain Johannes , Cheap Trick guitarist Rick Nielsen , Fear frontman Lee Ving , John Fogerty , Rick Springfield , The Wallflowers keyboardist Rami Jaffee , and violinist Jessy Greene .

Dont Say Alvida
Lyrics & Chords
Have been pretty busy for a while now with a variety of things on my plate. Was not planning on recording anything but heard this one on MTV and couldnt resist myself ! Beautiful song,beautiful lyrics,beautiful tune, beautiful voices – what more do you need ! Melody still rules !! The song is from the movie 'Main Aur Mrs.Khanna'. Sajid-Wajid has composed this chartbuster which has already topped the Bollywood top 10 list in most websites. Sonu Niigam and Shreya Ghoshal have rendered this in their own sweet way. Must say they are the Kishore-Lata of this age. What amazes me with these two singers is how easy it sounds when you hear the song and yet when you try to sing it you understand how difficult it is to get the small things right. Amazing duo ! I hope they live a 100 years to give us more of such music pleasure.
Vidyu has been kind enough to lend me her vocals to complete this one. She sounds absolutely amazing. I bet Shreya would be very happy to hear her version :-) I am a little bit rusty but i hope you will still lend your ear to listen to our humble attempt.
The movie just released on the occassion of Diwali. Here's wishing you all a very happy and prosperous Diwali. Khub mithai khao aur khilao :-) God Bless and thanx for listening :-)
Song : Dont Say Alvida
Movie : Main Aur Mrs. Khanna
Original Singers: Sonu Niigam and Shreya Ghoshal

Very precise singing as always…. Overall very very very good professional presentation…. the track could have a tad lounder & basier…. felt that only the singers are taking all the credits for the song with lesser existances of other artifacts of backing…. Never the less a damn 5 for sure for fab singing by both of you….:D

Very well rendered Soumitra. This song is topping the charts ? That is kind of surprising. You were not rusty at all Soumitra – very nicely done u guys. Soumitra : You dont have any marginal offs in recent songs at all. This shows your tremendous dedication to details. Great job.
This goes to my favs list for your singing. the tune hardly has any stuff.

Amazing talent, love her voice a lot.
Always enjoyed your duets a lot. Don't even know that you have posted a song and came here following Husain's comment.
Happy to hear to your voices again and take a 5/5 and fav'. too.
Thanks a lot for sharing.
MUSIC is the language of the soul!
Hats off to you for attempting a rank new song. New songs are very difficult to sing in my opinion. Liked the control you have in your voice and the modulations you made. Vidyu was good too. Will listen to your other renditions too.

Burkina Faso: Restocking Food Banks to Maximum Capacity
Update to the Global Board
(April 2009)
The present report summarizes the progress The Hunger Project-Burkina Faso (THP-Burkina) has accomplished in implementing the Epicenter Strategy in Burkina Faso, during the past six months (October 2008 to March 2009). The Epicenter Strategy develops a comprehensive community initiative which builds the capacity of rural communities through increased decision-making and the fulfillment of their fundamental needs.
During the last six months, THP-Burkina was able to finalize the building of its fourteenth L-shaped epicenter at Vowogdo. Other major accomplishments include:
- The provision of safe-drinking water to all epicenters;
- Restocking the epicenter food banks;
- Training TOTs (trainers of trainers) capable of duplicating HIV/AIDS and Gender Inequality Workshops;
- Educating thousands of women and men in preventive health, especially malaria prevention; and
- Establishing weighing centers for girls and boys of 0 to 5 years.
Of all these accomplishments, restocking epicenter food banks at their maximum capacity was the most challenging work during the past six months, due primarily to the national and international food crises. Ensuring communities have at least one borehole in each of the 14 epicenters to ensure access to safe drinking water is another challenge that THP-Burkina is still struggling to meet.
An additional accomplishment of major importance is a partnership established between THP-Burkina and local and national government officials at the highest level.

Details on Progress
Food Security
The epicenter of Vowogdo is busy with construction projects that will be completed and ready for use by June 2009: two grain mills are being built, and a new food bank is under construction in the village of Wedgo. Six months ago, epicenter food banks were only filled to 25 percent capacity, and building up food stores was aggravated by irregular and insufficient rainfall, as well as the national and international food crises. As of April, all epicenter food banks were fully stocked until next harvest, with 1,150 metric tons stored. THP-Burkina Faso is currently searching for partnerships and means to implement drip technology in partner epicenters, an initiative that requires further invesment.
THP-Burkina has built a partnership with the Government and trained 150 local TOTs in 14 epicenters to run HIV/AIDS and Gender Inequality Workshops, despite some difficulties in training due to the inability of participants to take written notes. 32 traditional birth attendants (TBAs) and local health workers were trained; the target for 2009 is to train 60 such health care workers. Bicycles will be allocated for these workers in the near future. Five child weighing centers have also been completed.
174 literacy centeres have been opened as part of the 2009 goal to open 200 literacy centers in cooperation with the Government, with the aim of training a total of 6,000 women and men. 5,220 women and men have been trained so far, including 3,530 women. By 2011, THP-Burkina hopes to involve all 110,000 women of its partner epicenters in its Women Empowerment Program (WEP).
In keeping with THP-Burkina's goal to build women's capacities and leadership, hundreds of women were trained to lead meetings and organize and motivate groups. In addition, 65 women from Nongfaïré Epicenter were trained in soap manufacturing. THP-Burkina plans to train 180 women in new income-generating activities this year.
Beginning during the June rainy season, THP-Burkina will implement a tree-planting campaign, and plans to plant 750 trees at epicenters this year. Funding is also being mobilized for the construction of 1,500 household latrines, with eight semi-modern latrines under construction, to be completed in May, to serve as community models.
In October and November 2008, THP-Burkina had meetings with high-level government officials, including the Minister of Health, the Minister of Literacy and Formal Education and the Minister of Women's Empowerment. As a result of these meetings, THP-Burkina was invited by the Minister of Women's Empowerment to attend a forum entitled "Investing in Women and Girls for Sustainable Development" presided over by H.E. Blaise Compaore. During the forum, AWFFI Program Officer, Irene Kaboré gave a short presentation on THP-Burkina's work.
THP-Burkina was also invited by the ministry to attend the national celebration for International Women's Day, held in the northern city of Dori on March 8, 2009. Seizing the opportunity, the Country Director for THP-Burkina pleaded for the intensification of girl's education and the eradication of certain traditional practices (forced marriages, female genital mutilation, etc.) still occurring in the country.
In addition, the Minister of Literacy announced that the Ministry will fund 96 Hunger Project literacy centers in four epicenters (Bissiga, Fétombaga, Nongfaïré and Loaga). This restricted funding of US$82,000 will allow THP-Burkina to provide literacy classes to an additional 2,880 partners in 2009. The funding will be sent directly to local epicenter accounts, and will be managed directly by the epicenter committees.
The Minister of Health instructed the health workers in local districts housing THP-Burkina epicenters to fully collaborate with our NGO.
Broad Awareness and Advocacy
The methodology and conclusions of the HIV/AIDS and Gender Inequality Workshop, held at Vowogdo Epicenter on December 4, 5 and 6, 2008, were in large part broadcast on local FM radio stations and in the national press.
Recent Innovations
In 2008, THP-Burkina and INERA introduced triple bag technology for safe storage of cowpea crops for long periods of time without damages from pests such as bruchids and tribolium. This technology has revolutionized the ability of agricultural producers to protect their hard earned harvests from great losses from insects, thus earning more money from their work.
Impact Assessment
THP-Burkina's main objectives for impact assessment are through the evaluation of several indicators, such as the number of women and men trained in VCAWs and HIV/AIDS workshops, the number of 100-kg bags in food banks, the number of girls and boys in epicenter nursery schools, the number of women and men attending literacy classes, the number of girls and boys vaccinated, the number of TBAs trained and the number of pregnant women accessing health center services.
THP-Burkina is actively working to establish a partnership with the National Research Institute, INERA, to be able widen the application of fertilizer micro-dose technology to all its epicenters.

How to Prevent Transmission of HPV
Abstinence is the only sure way to prevent HPV transmission. Risk of transmission can be lowered if a person has sex only with one person who is not infected and who is monogamous.
To lower the risk of HPV transmission, men can also limit the number of sex partners and pick partners who have had few or no partners in the past.
Condoms can provide some protection against HPV transmission. But they aren't 100% effective, since HPV is transmitted primarily by skin-to-skin contact. The virus can still infect the skin uncovered by the condom.
In a recent study of young women who had just become sexually active, those whose partners used a condom each time they had sex were 70% less likely to get an HPV infection than were women whose partners used a condom less than 5% of the time.

EL PASO — Michael R. Smith, Ph.D., has been appointed vice provost at The University of Texas at El Paso, with responsibility for such special and strategic ventures as the development and expansion of new and existing academic programs and initiatives, public and private sector educational partnerships, and oversight of the Office of Professional and Public Programs.
He will also coordinate programs for active military and veterans, working closely with Ft. Bliss to ensure that UTEP offers enhanced educational opportunities to service members and their families.
Before joining UTEP, Smith served as dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences and vice provost at Georgia Southern University and chaired the Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice at the University of South Carolina.
"We are delighted to welcome Michael Smith to UTEP," said UTEP President Diana Natalicio. "His extensive professional experience, in higher education and beyond, is especially well aligned with UTEP's strategic development in both academic and research programs. We all look very much forward to working with him."
As dean of the largest college at Georgia Southern University, Smith oversaw the development of the university's first fully online undergraduate degree program and also implemented a data-driven enrollment management system that improved multi-pronged opportunities for student progression. In that same vein, he implemented supplemental instruction in the college and improved student success in historically difficult courses. Other notable accomplishments include the development of a highly successful public art project as well as doubling the amount of external funding secured by college faculty.
As chair of the Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice at the University of South Carolina, he and his colleagues established one of the nation's newest Ph.D. programs in the discipline.
Smith is a former police officer and holds a J.D. from the University of South Carolina School of Law and a Ph.D. in Justice Studies from Arizona State University. He has served as a principal or co-principal investigator on more than $2.2 million in grants and contracts over his 17-year career as a police and criminal justice researcher. He is a nationally renowned expert on racial profiling and has written extensively on this and other critical issues at the intersection of law, public policing, and policing. His most recent publications have appeared in Criminology & Public Policy, the American Journal of Public Health, and Review of Policy Research.
"We are very fortunate to have someone with Dr. Smith's depth and breadth of experience join Academic Affairs to work closely with colleges and other units to move in focused strategic directions and both innovate and incubate programs," said UTEP Provost Junius Gonzales. "He also fills in critically needed gaps left by recently vacated positions, and brings a track record of success from several administrative positions."

3 Stocks with More than 50% Short Interest
Brian is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
A heavily shorted stock does two things: It keeps a stock underperforming for long periods of time, but then it also allows for the potential of incredible gains with just one decent headline. In this article I am looking at three of the most shorted S&P 500 stocks (as of Feb. 28) and determining what could cause the shorts to cover.
#1 Looks Cheap But Has Many Questions Unanswered
The candle and home fragrance maker Blyth (NYSE: BTH) leads the list as the most shorted in the S&P 500, with 68.19% of its float short. The $280 million company has seen 60% of its value disappear in the last six months, which all began following a downgrade by Moody's to negative. The remainder of its loss came after the company pulled a planned IPO of the weight-management product business ViSalus, despite growth "in excess of 450% in 2012."
This pulled IPO was supposedly due to sluggish market conditions. Basically, this meant that the company could draw no interest in the IPO, and therefore all news surrounding the company and this business has led to volatile swings in the stock. Furthermore, there have been a lot of rumors circulating that the company is a "pyramid scheme," as the stock has been drastically affected by the Herbalife saga.
Looking at the stock, the only way it will appreciate is with continued growth in its ViSalus segment. However, pessimism of this degree will not leave overnight; it could take years to change. In the meantime the stock "appears" cheap.
#2 Showing All the Signs of Losing Market Share
While Netflix soars higher, shares of Coinstar (NASDAQ: OUTR) continue to underperform despite similar growth. The stock has 52.00% of its float short, and has lost 10%of its value over the last 12 months. Basically, shorts are waiting for this company to fail miserably, and there are many who believe that such a failure is looming.
There is a wide belief that the company is losing market share of its video business to Netflix, and also a belief that its Coinstar machines are reaching a saturation point where growth will be difficult to achieve. With a forward P/E ratio of 9.57 and a price/sales of 0.72 it is hard to debate that the stock is cheap.
However, the issue is growth and market share, and in order to create significant gains, and rid the shorts, the company must produce growth and prove that its core businesses are in fact stable. And seeing as how Coinstar is somewhat a technology company, it might be a good idea that it begins to innovate…. just a thought!
#3 Shorts Proven to Be Right, But Will they Move on to Better Opportunity?
In third place is Spectrum Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: SPPI), with 51.64% short, and last week this is one bet that shorts won. The stock has lost 41% of its value in the last five days alone, and this occurred after a corporate update showed a 60% drop in Fusilev demand.
Fusilev is its best-selling drug, and for the last year the company has continuously denied rumors of slashing prices to compete with generics. The company even went as far to guide for an increase in sales, saying that total sales would rise in 2013.
Now, the company is guiding for revenue of about $170 million, which is far short of the expected $300 million. Following this large loss, I will be curious to see if shorts back off due to the company having a large pipeline and two other approved drugs, although I doubt it, seeing as how this has been a short's goldmine.
Therefore, Spectrum has two ways in which it could rid the shorts: A shortage of generic Fusilev that leads to a boost in sales or significant growth from either of its two other approved products. Until one of these two occur, we can most likely expect more of the same.
If you look strictly at just the fundamentals/valuation of these three companies then you would find that all appear quite cheap. However, it's important to remember that when a large collection of short sellers migrate to a particular stock, it is usually for a reason. Therefore, when investing in these companies, there is magnificent upside, but there is also large downside, making it a high-risk high-reward investment, and not always a value investment.
