Press Release from Cartoon Network Asia
HONG KONG (October 8, 2009) Cartoon Network Asia announced a strategic content partnership with Animasia, one of Malaysia's leading creative studios, to produce a cricket based property about a group of local Indian kids who aspire to play in the biggest inter-school cricket championships. The film is slated to premiere on Cartoon Network in India in the second half of 2010.
At a special ceremony at MIPCOM, Mark Eyers, Vice President, Content, Cartoon Network, and Edmund Chan, Managing Director, Animasia presented the Guest of Honour, Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak with a golden cricket bat to symbolize the partnership with Animasia, as well as Cartoon Network's commitment to nurturing creative talent in Malaysia.
Mark Eyers said, "Just as in cricket, being number one in the kids' space requires an understanding of the pitch conditions, regular innovations and getting the big hits out there. In this creative venture we are striving for a six and in Animasia, we have found the right partner to take the score to the next level, by producing popular original content.
We are delighted to be supporting not only the creative talent from this dynamic studio but also the Malaysian animation industry as a whole."
Edmund Chan, Managing Director, Animasia said, "Being able to partner with Cartoon Network to further develop one of Animasia's original concepts makes me very proud of our Malaysian talents. This collaboration will bring great benefits and confidence to the Malaysian animation industry. Let us bowl for a good start with Cartoon Network and trust that this animated cricket concept will score great success for both Animasia and Cartoon Network."
About the property
Sachin is a young boy who eats, sleeps and dreams cricket. The only problem is his school doesn't think so. Sachin decides to do it on his own and picks his team of 11 students. Together they work hard towards making enough time and opportunities to convince the school to send them to the biggest cricket championship in the city. But without hard work, no dream can be achieved. And to teach them just that they have a coach who thinks they have it them to make it big. This is the story of a motley bunch of kids with their own aspirations and problems and how they work together to become winners. It's a story filled with hope and it's a journey of the underdog's dream of making it to the top!

The Society's museum is housed in the original headquarters of the I&M Canal. Built in 1837, the structure played a central role in the design, financing, and construction of the Canal and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. Changing exhibits highlight the history of Will County and the Canal. The Society's extensive collection includes significant county and canal-related records, including maps, plats, land records, obituaries, photographs, newspapers, receipts, and correspondence.

Sama Mosul
July 31, 2012, in Mosul, Iraq
Unidentified armed men shot Anas, 27, a presenter for the
television broadcaster Sama Mosul, while he was eating dinner at his Mosul home
during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, according to news
reports. Anas' wife, mother, and 4-month-old baby were also injured in the
attack, news reports said.
Anas hosted several social, sports, and entertainment programs on Sama Mosul, news reports said. He began working with the broadcaster in 2010 when the channel launched, the reports said.
Irina Bokova, director-general of UNESCO, called on the Iraqi government on August 9 to launch an immediate investigation into his murder. No one has claimed responsibility for the attack.
Motive Unconfirmed: CPJ is investigating to determine whether the death was work-related.

A Look At Why Linux Graphics Drivers Have Issues

Here's an interesting look at the state of the Ubuntu bug count as it concerns Linux graphics driver issues.
This graph concerns both open and closed-source driver issues along with general X.Org related issues. The metrics also aren't limited to just output/graphics only, but include the input driver issues too. The slide was shared Tuesday of the Ubuntu Developer Summit in Oakland when talking about the X.Org planning for Ubuntu 12.10.

For 17 years, Jason Elam simply went about his business of being one of the best kickers in the NFL.
On Wednesday, March 31, Elam retired from pro football the same way he came in, as a member of the Denver Broncos.
Elam is more than worthy of induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Time will tell whether or not he gets that honored distinction.
He leaves the game fifth in NFL history in both points scored (1,983) and field goals made (436). He set a league record by scoring at least 100 points in 16 consecutive seasons. His 63-yard field goal against Jacksonville in 1998 tied Tom Dempsey's NFL record. He retires as the Broncos' all-time leader in points scored (1,786) and is second in wins (152).
But it isn't Elam's astounding statistics that leave the biggest mark. It isn't even his uncanny ability to consistently come through in the clutch. Elam's greatest attribute is his humble, gracious, and unselfish character.
Even in officially announcing his retirement, Elam was more interested in reliving special moments than listing out personal achievements.
"There's so many memories. And that's what I hoped for today, that this wouldn't be a celebration of a career but a celebration of relationships and friendships," Elam shared before pausing while holding back tears.
"And that's what I'm really grateful for."
I remember first meeting Elam one year at training camp in Greeley. A mutual friend introduced us and it was impossible not to be both drawn to and impressed by Elam's sincerity and genuine personality.
He always had time for an interview. He always had a smile at the ready. And it never seemed to be forced.
Wednesday, Elam's appreciation for his 15 years with the Broncos also flowed naturally. He spent more than ten minutes thanking people who made his years in Denver possible and meaningful.
"You can't spend 15 years with one organization and not feel a special bond," he admitted.
Now, Elam turns his attention to other endeavors, including writing books and helping others.
"We (his family) have spent a lot of time up in Alaska and that's where we're at right now. We've got a home just south of Anchorage. I'm a pilot and I'm heavily involved in some of the Christian ministries up there. We go out to the bush villages and try to do some good out there. I'm (also) heavily involved in some of the Middle East ministries we support. There's a little bit of everything I really enjoy doing. I'm not going to be bored at all."
Elam certainly kept things interesting on the field throughout his time with the Broncos. Now that his time to step away from the game has come, he leaves content.
"There's nothing bitter about it (retiring)," Elam said on Wednesday. "I'm very happy with the career that I had. I gave it everything I've got and I feel good about it. This is a dream come true for me to go out like this."
"Physically, mentally, emotionally, you know when you're done. It has been an awesome, awesome journey for me," Elam added.
And for us, too. Thanks for the memories, Jason. You are truly one of a kind.
Where does Elam rank in your list of favorite Broncos? He is certainly near, if not at, the top of my list.
Thanks for reading.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Veneto Rome
You get what you pay for!
My husband and I stayed in Hotel Veneto in April 2004 and it was our first trip to Italy. The bus ride from the airport to the hotel was such a shock to us (because of the absolutely nutty driving) that we were pleased to have arrived in one piece. We could not have asked for a better hotel. The room was very clean, everything worked, and we slept comfortably. We always did our best to speak to the staff in Italian and they were always very kind to us. The staff recommended fabulous restaurants for dinner and made reservations for us. Cautions: Hotel Veneto is one a loud street so you'll hear cars and motorscooters zooming up and down. The door keys/locks are tricky to lock and unlock. The elevator is a bit slow. Breakfast is on the top floor and consists of cereal, pre-packaged dry pastry, bread, juice and coffee. Go into your stay with reasonable expectations and you will enjoy it! Chow!
We would recomment this hotel
We are a couple of friends who stayed at this hotel on June 16,2004 for 4 nights. We enjoyed every minute of our stay there. The hotel is very clean, very well located, easy access to all parts of the city, there is a bus who stops just outside the hotel and which can be taken from different parts of the city. The Staff is wonderful, very helpful and polite. Breakfast is good. The only thing which bothered us was that that there is no shelve under the mirror in the bathroom and no hooks whatever to be able to hang something.
Typical Italian Hotel
My wife and I stayed for 5 nights at the Hotel Veneto in Rome. The Hotel is well situated and we walked to all the major attractions.
Would not stay here again
Please look around before you decide on this one. I did not heed the warnings on Trip Advisor before my trip, and regret it. The plusses are that it is clean, cheap & walkable to many attractions. The downside is the staff is awful, the noise terrible (you can hear EVERYTHING in the room from the inside -snoring, people flushing toilets, doors slamming). I would think it is worth it to spend just a little more to have a better place to stay. I got anxious every night wondering how many hours of sleep I would get from all the noise (and I had earplugs in too).
Good Basic Hotel
We have just come back from our stay in Rome. The Hotel Veneto is a well situated basic 3* hotel. It was very clean and the staff were courteous and helpful. It was absolutely fine as a base and the breakfast brioche are very good! Good value for money.
Lovely Jublee - Super Hotel Perfect Position
Myself and my wife both stayed at this hotel and had a fabulous time.
The hotel is located in one of the poshest parts of Rome so consequently you are completely safe and far removed from the hustle and bustle of the Train Station. The rooms were fine and excellent value for money although the breakfast was a bit of a let down - coffee,tea, cereals, croissants and diluted orange squash. Remember to ask the waitress for a real cappuccino (no extra charge!)
Great Value for Money!
I thoroughy enjoyed my stay in Rome and the Veneto Hotel was a great base from which to view the sightseeing. It was very reasonably priced too (i booked online via the hotels own website) which had a special offer of stay 4 nights pay 3. The breakfast wasnt up to much though although the views from the rooftop terrace more than made up for that!
I would suggest this hotel to anyone on a medium budget.
Bad choice!
We stayed here in April 2000 for 4 night. Bad choice of the hotel! We, probably, had a smallest room in the hotel. The room was very tiny as well as the shower. You have to put a soup outside because there is no room to move inside the shower cabin. We had to keep the windows open at night, however, it was very noisy outside so we needed an ear plugs.
The consierge, an old man, was very nice and helful. I really don't recomment this hotel to anybody.
Not bad at all
The room was fine as was the bathroom (althought the shower was a bit small). Room and bathroom were clean. The staff were helpfull whenever we needed them. The hotel itself is located within walking distance of the Via Veneto, Spanish Steps and Piazza Navona.Thumbs up for the Hotel Veneto.
Don't stay here!
Just returned from Rome, where we spent a total of 8 nights at the Veneto Hotel. First for 5 nights and then another 3 nights after returning from Florence. DON'T STAY HERE!!! The first 5 nights were palatable only because we had a working jacuzzi in our room, but the desk staff were unhelpful and at times downright rude, the room was noisy and dark (not in an atmospheric way--just not enough light, all the tv stations had static. Then on our return we stayed in a different room and it was even more horrible...the shower had to be hand held, the jacuzzi didn't work and worst of all the bathroom had roaches! And the staff continued to be nasty. We had a problem with our credit card (someone stole the number and was charging things against it) and the hotel clerk did nothing to offer any assistance. I mean here we were from another country, without credit and as we struggled to figure out how to rectify the situation, the clerk a) would not make any calls for us to the credit card company and b) literally cursed us out because he had to run another card and do more work. If you're looking for friendly, helpful, roach free accommodations then I suggest you stay somewhere else!

National Health Service
It has been suggested that Emergency Medical Services 1939-1945 be merged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed since January 2014. |
The four publicly funded healthcare systems in the countries of the United Kingdom, may be referred to as the National Health Service (NHS).
The systems are primarily funded through central taxation. They provide a comprehensive range of health services, the vast majority of which are free at the point of use for people legally resident in the United Kingdom. The four systems are entirely independent, and operate under different management, rules, and political authority.[1]
The individual systems are:
- National Health Service (England)
- Health and Social Care in Northern Ireland (HSCNI)
- NHS Scotland
- NHS Wales
All services are often referred to as "the NHS", although only the English NHS is officially called the "National Health Service". All of the services were founded in 1948, based on legislation passed in 1946, 1947 and 1948. NHS Wales was part of the same structure as England until powers over the NHS in Wales were transferred to the Secretary of State for Wales in 1969, and responsibility for NHS Wales was passed to the Welsh Government under devolution in 1999.
The Labour Government elected in 1945 had made manifesto commitments[2] to implement the recommendations of the Beveridge Report of 1942. The report's recommendation to create "comprehensive health and rehabilitation services for prevention and cure of disease"[3] was implemented across the United Kingdom by 1948. The services were initially funded through general taxation and National Insurance as part of the introduction of a wider Welfare State. They were initially free at the point of use, although some prescription charges were soon introduced in response to economic difficulties. These charges are still in place with the English NHS, but not in the other three systems.
In the UK Parliament at Westminster, the new health services were established through two Acts:
- The National Health Service Act 1946, creating the National Health Service in England and Wales
- The National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1947, creating the National Health Service in Scotland
From 1969 the National Health Service in Wales became a separate entity under the Secretary of State for Wales.
In the Parliament of Northern Ireland at Stormont:
- Health Services Act (Northern Ireland) 1948, creating a Health Service in Northern Ireland.
Following devolution in the United Kingdom from 1998, control over the non-English services passed to the devolved national governments, with the UK Government retaining control over the NHS in England.
Each system operates independently, and is politically accountable to the relevant government: the Scottish Government, Welsh Government, the Northern Ireland Executive, and the UK Government which is responsible for England's NHS.
Despite their separate funding and administration, there is no discrimination when a resident of one country of the United Kingdom requires treatment in another, although a patient will often be returned to their home area when they are fit to be moved. The financial and administrative consequences are dealt with by the organisations involved and no personal involvement by the patient is required.
Treatment of people not resident in the United Kingdom is subject to mostly uniform arrangements made by or delegated to the UK Department of Health rather than any individual health service. Foreign nationals always receive treatment free at the time of use for emergencies.
Foreign nationals also receive free treatment if they have been legally resident in the UK for 12 months, have recently arrived to take up permanent residence, are claiming asylum or have other legal resident status. Citizens of European Economic Area nations, as well as those from countries with which the UK has a reciprocal arrangements, are also entitled to free treatment by using the European Health Insurance Card.[4][5] Foreign nationals may be subject to an interview to establish their nationality and residence status, which must be resolved before non-emergency treatment can commence. Patients who do not qualify for free treatment are asked to pay in advance, or to sign a written undertaking to pay.
Treatment for injuries caused in a road traffic accident has been chargeable since the 1930s, but such charges were not generally enforced until the Road Traffic (NHS Charges) Act 1999 came into force to direct the charges to the insurers of the vehicles involved. This necessarily involves patients in the charging process even though they are not personally billed for treatment.
Each National Health Service is mainly funded ultimately from general taxation (with a much smaller amount from National Insurance contributions). Other, less significant sources of income include charging overseas visitors and their insurers for the cost of NHS treatment, charges to patients for prescriptions and dental treatment, hospital car parking, patient telephone services, etc. NHS Trusts can earn income through treating patients privately; in England Trusts generate 0.6% of core revenues this way, much less in the rest of the UK.[1]
Expenditure for 2012/13 is planned to be:
- £108.9 billion for National Health Service (England)[6]
- £3.9bn for Health and Social Care in Northern Ireland[7]
- £9.38bn for NHS Scotland[8]
- £5.3bn for NHS Wales[9]
The UK Parliament sets the overall budget available to the NHS in England. It also allocates a block grant to each devolved national government to spend on local needs. Each government may choose how much of its block grant to spend on its health care system.
Cuts to NHS funding have reduced patient care in a wide range of areas including increased delays for cancer treatment. [10]

ESA and the Work Capability Assessment
ESA and Incapacity Benefit reforms: our concerns

ESA and Incapacity Benefit reforms: our concerns
In 2008, Employment Support Allowance replaced Incapacity Benefit and Income Support for new claimants.
From April 2011 the Government will also start to migrate 1.6 million people currently claiming Incapacity Benefit over to ESA, forcing them to undergo a flawed medical assessment process - the Work Capability Assessment. This will lead to around 20 per cent of people failing the assessment and losing entitlement to ESA.
Changes to qualification criteria
Regulations tabled in parliament by the government will, if passed, mean that from the end of March, it will no longer be possible for many blind and partially sighted people to qualify for Employment and Support Allowance (ESA).
What's the case now?
Currently most people who are blind or partially sighted are able to qualify for ESA after being assessed, but the regulations would change that.
The regulations remove all the current assessment criteria around sight loss that recognise why blind and partially sighted people have 'limited capability for work', and are therefore eligible for ESA.
The new assessment criteria in the regulations fail to recognise the barriers blind and partially sighted people face in relation to work, and could have dramatic consequences, forcing blind and partially sighted people on to Jobseekers Allowance.
This would mean a loss in income, and no longer getting immediate support to prepare for work.
Twelve month limits
One of the biggest shocks of the Government's Comprehensive Spending Review was the announcement that the contributory ESA benefit will be limited to twelve months for people on the 'work related activity group' (people who are judged able to move into work over time, with support).
The twelve month time limit takes no account of the often complex issues that disabled people need to address in preparing for and finding work.
Recommendations ignored
We have major concerns about the fairness and effectiveness of the Work Capability Assessment which will be used to decide who is eligible for ESA. Substantial recommendations for improving the assessment process were made during a recent independent review by Prof Malcolm Harrington, but these will take time to be implemented.
Until Prof Harrington's recommendations on the Assessment process are fully implemented by Government, the migration of Incapacity Benefit claimants should not begin.

The "assumed" fate of Jesus' mother
Or, "What's 'up' with the Feast of the Assumption"?
By Sarah E. Dahl, introduced and with a postscript by Chris Armstrong
Whenever we prepare an issue on a new topic, our writers find facts in their digging that are new to me and that add to my sense of the richness of Christian history.
Our issue on Mary, the mother of Jesus—mailing at the end of this month—has certainly been no exception. Indeed, since Protestants have typically been content to leave the study of this honored biblical figure to the Catholics and Orthodox, I was more than usually enlightened this time around.
One area that was new to me is the little matter of Mary's supposed bodily assumption into heaven—on the analogy of certain particularly saintly Old Testament characters. I asked freelancer Sarah E. Dahl the question "What's up with that?"
This was her reply—originally slated as a sidebar for our issue, but through the vicissitudes of the editorial process, taken out and reserved for just this occasion: the day of the "Feast of the Assumption," August 15.
Standing before a joyful crowd packing St. Peter's square in November 1950, Pope Pius XII declared "that the Immaculate Mother of God, the ever Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul to heavenly glory." By this proclamation the pope defined belief in Mary's assumption into heaven as a dogma, or divinely revealed teaching, of the Catholic Church. However, belief that Mary "fell asleep" at the end of her life and was miraculously transported to heaven dates back to the early medieval church and has been a source of devotion for centuries in the Catholic and Orthodox traditions.
Although Scripture reveals nothing about the manner of Mary's death, traditions surrounding her life after Christ's resurrection soon arose in the church. References to her dormition (literally "falling asleep") and assumption appear as early as the seventh century. In the most famous account, St. John Damascene (d. 749) passed on a story reportedly told at the Council of Chalcedon (451) that Mary had died in the presence of the Apostles, but when they opened her tomb they found it empty, "wherefrom the Apostles concluded that the body was taken up to heaven." By the end of the eighth century, feasts celebrating Mary's dormition included prayers referring to her assumption as well.
Mary's bodily assumption into heaven has traditionally been celebrated as the firstfruits of Christ's resurrection. Catholic and Orthodox believers affirm that because Mary was assumed body and soul into heaven, she experiences the resurrected glory for which all Christians hope. Vatican II teaches that "she shines forth on earth GǪ a sign of certain hope and comfort to the pilgrim people of God." Her assumption serves as a promise of the work that God will do for all believers, and as a reminder that resurrected humanity will be an uncorrupted union of body and soul.
The exact origin of the Feast of the Assumption is not known, but like many Marian practices, it seems to have a very early beginning. Celebrated in Palestine before the year 500, probably in August, it was also kept by the early Egyptian monks, though in January. The 6th-century church in Gaul borrowed the feast, as it did many other things, from the Eastern monks, again celebrating it in January. In the Greek Church, some followed the monastic dating of January, others the Palestinian dating of August. Finally Emperor Maurice (d. 602) set the feast for the Greek Empire on 15 August. In the Christian West, the feast seems to have been adopted somewhat later, but was observed as one of the principal festivities of Rome by the time of Sergius I (700).

You might say this is a case of knowing how to keep a secret. The history of
the end of Mary's life was genuinely new to most of the Church when it was
made public in the fifth century. The facts of the matter were kept private
among the clergy of the Jerusalem Church, and only became public during the
Council of Chalcedon. This was a case where there was a Tradition - a
passing-along of knowledge - that was intentionally kept private. I
personally suspect the remarkable near-silence of Scripture about the Mother
of God was deliberate on the part of the Apostles; St John (her guardian)
and the rest of the Evangelists kept her privacy.
The more picturesque details of the "transitus Mariae" literature had yet to
be developed, but in the mid-400's some basic information was revealed by
the Jerusalem clergy. I'm attaching a quote from the "Euthymiac History"
quoted by St John of Damascus, for details.
In his second homily on the Dormition of the Mother of God, Saint John of
Damascus refers to events recounted in the 40th chapter of the Life of St
"It was said above that Saint Pulcheria erected many churches for Christ in
Constantinople. One of these is the church in Blachernae, built at the
beginning of the reign of the divinely-appointed Emperor Marcian [who
acceded to the throne August, 450]. When the two of them built a worthy
house there for the all-glorious and all-holy Mother of God, the ever-virgin
Mary, and adorned it with every sort of decoration, they hoped to find her
holy body, which had been the dwelling-place of God. And summoning Juvenal,
the Archbishop of Jerusalem, and those bishops from Palestine who were
staying in the capital because of the synod then being held in Chalcedon
[October, 451], they said to them: We have heard that the first and most
outstanding church of the all-holy Mother of God, the ever-virgin Mary, is
in Jerusalem, in the place called Gethsemane, where her life-giving body was
put in a coffin. We now wish to bring this relic here, to protect this royal
"Juvenal answered on behalf of them all: "There is nothing in the holy,
inspired Scripture about the death of Mary, the holy Mother of God; but we
know from ancient and wholly reliable tradition that at the time she so
gloriously fell asleep, all the holy Apostles who were traveling the world
for the salvation of the peoples were lifted up in a single instant of time
and were gathered at Jerusalem. And as they stood by her, they saw a vision
of angels, and heard the divine chanting of the higher powers. So it was
that she gave her soul in an ineffable way into God's hands, surrounded by
the glory of God and all heaven.
"Her body, which had been God's dwelling place, was brought for burial
amidst the singing of the angels and the Apostles, and laid to rest in a
coffin in Gethsemane; and the angelic dancing and singing continued without
pause in that place for three days. But after three days the song of the
angels ceased; the Apostles were there, and since one of them - Thomas - had
not been present [for her burial] and came at he end of three days, and
wished to reverence that body which had housed God, they opened the coffin.
And they could not find her body, which had been the object of such praise;
all that they found were her burial wrappings. And being overcome by the
ineffable fragrance that came out of the wrappings, they closed the coffin
again. Amazed by this miraculous discovery, they could only draw a single
conclusion: The one who had deigned to become flesh in her own person and to
take his humanity from her, the one who willed to be born in human flesh as
God the Word, the Lord of glory, and who had preserved her virginity intact
even after childbirth, now chose, after her departure from this world, to
honour her pure and immaculate body with the gift of incorruptibility, and
with a change of state even before the common, universal resurrection."
"When the imperial couple heard this, they asked Archbishop Juvenal to send
them the holy coffin, properly sealed, with the funeral garments in it of
the glorious, all-holy Mary, Mother of God. And when he had sent it, they
placed it in the church of the holy Theotokos that had been built at

It is my understanding, based on what a Catholic priest told me, that the Roman Catholics no longer believe the Theotokos reposed (died) at all. He said that because they believe the Theotokos was immaculately conceived and preserved from Original Sin that she was therefore preserved from the effects of Sin such as Death so therefore she could not have naturally died and was rather assumed body and soul into heaven where she sits as the Queen Mother. Of course Roman Catholics have not always believed this and there have been numerous paintings, Giotto, Renaissance, etc. that depict the Theotokos lying dead being mourned by the Apostles or showing her emeging from a grave carried on clouds. It is only recently that the IC and Assumption doctrines have been adopted in their current form. Yet one more reason for Roman Catholics looking for the True Faith to become Orthodox!
