So was the scene at LAX on Saturday and Pure Nightclub on Sunday, as Britney's pal and Britney's ex drank and danced together this weekend. Paris and Kevin are both in Sin City to host separate New Year's Eve parties, but found their way to each other's side. According to People.com, the unlikely pair went back to Paris's room Saturday night after leaving the club, but seemed more distant on Sunday night. Could they have been feeling a little regret from the night before? Hmmmmm.... .
Action sought against Virk
Dr Aulakh steered the PAU through many a crisis. Being a hard task master, he restored discipline in teaching, research and extension activities. Carrying on a tirade against absenteeism in the departments, he did not hesitate to reduce the staff whenever and wherever necessary. When Dr Aulakh pressed for enhanced grants for the university, the erstwhile finance minister and the finance secretary found ill at ease. But the matter was resolved by the then Chief Minister and the Punjab Governor. Likewise, the Akalis have also had inbuilt inclination to treat the universities as boards and corporations, where political interference is too well known. Many people are debating the question whether Dr Aulakh's resistance to the opening of the gate of the university toward Kitchlu Nagar side was a matter so serious that he should have resigned.

Hedge funds for retail investors on the way
MUMBAI: The most popular type of hedge funds abroad, long-short funds, will soon be within the reach of retail investors in India. With Sebi indicating that mutual funds will be allowed to sell stocks without actually owning them (called short selling), many fund houses are in final stages of designing products that will allow small investors to have a taste of this sophisticated style of investing.
In fact, ICICI Prudential has become the first fund house in the country to consider launching such a product and is seeking Sebi's permission to introduce a long-short fund. This is a technical name for a fund that allows a fund manager (and thus investor in the fund) to hold those stocks that he is bullish on and yet sell those, whose prices he feels will fall in the future.
Fighting Foreclosure
New figures out today show the foreclosure rate in Ohio jumped 88 percent in 2007. That means almost two percent of homes entered into some stage of the foreclosure process. In tonight's Money Alert, Local 12's Paula Toti says there are some steps homeowners in trouble should be taking right now. The group Realty Trac says Ohio had the sixth highest foreclosure rate in the nation in 2007. Many homeowners started to default on payments near the end of the year, setting the stage for a high number of foreclosures again this year. The problem is worse in northern Ohio, but lawyers in the Tri-State say phones are ringing off the hook with families in trouble. More than 150 homes were sold at a foreclosure auction this past weekend in Cleveland, a sad sign of the times. The banks dumped some at 70 percent less than their value.
Who Do We Vote For This Time Around?
Any one of them would be infinitely better than what we have now. Personally, Congressman Kucinich, more than any other candidate, shares the same positions that I have on the issues (although the UFO that picked ME up would only take me as far as Kalamazoo). But let's not waste time talking about Dennis. Even he is resigned to losing, with statements like the one he made yesterday to his supporters in Iowa to throw their support to Senator Obama as their "second choice." So, it's Hillary, Obama, Edwards — now what do we do? Two months ago, Rolling Stone magazine asked me to do a cover story where I would ask the hard questions that no one was asking in one-on-one interviews with Senators Clinton, Obama and Edwards. "The Top Democrats Face Off with Michael Moore." The deal was that all three candidates had to agree to let me interview them or there was no story.
