Webinfosys's Local News : Spielberg, Anil Ambani group near deal

NEW YORK: Movie studio DreamWorks SKG is close to a deal with Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group to form a new movie venture, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the talks.

The Journal said a deal with Reliance would give movie director Steven Spielberg the cash to finance his DreamWorks team's departure from Viacom Inc's Paramount Pictures later this year.

Reliance would provide Spielberg and company with $500-$600 million in equity.

The Journal reported that the ADAG and the DreamWorks founders will form a new movie company, which will make about half-a-dozen films every year.

Webinfosys's Local News : Bush govt ready to work on N-deal till Jan 20

WASHINGTON: Ahead of the UPA-Left meeting to resolve differences over the Indo-US civilian nuclear deal, Washington has said it would make every effort to get the pact through Congress by January 20 next year when the new President assumes office.

"From now until January 20th, we'll continue to work to support this agreement. We'll continue to encourage the Indian government to approve it. And if in such time it is approved, we will make every effort to move it through Congress," the State Department Deputy Spokesman Tom Casey said.

"And we certainly hope that the next administration, whoever comes to office in January, would also see this agreement as something fundamentally in America's interest and want to move forward with it as well," the top official said.

"... fundamentally, we think the India civil nuclear agreement is something that's in the interest of both countries. The obstacle has been that the Indian government has some internal political issues it needs to resolve before it can move forward with it," Casey said.

The Deputy Spokesman was asked whether it is unlikely for the nuclear deal to move forward.

"I would say that it's less -- we have fewer days now to do it than we did yesterday, and fewer days now than we did two days before it," Casey replied.

The UPA-Left committee will meet on Monday to discuss whether the government should go ahead with signing of the safeguards agreement with IAEA, a step required to operationalise the nuclear deal.

Webinfosys's Local News :Angry Kapil takes on BCCI

NEW DELHI: All is not well between the Board of Cricket Control in India and veteran cricketer Kapil Dev. Two weeks after his poster was removed from the Punjab Cricket Association stadium in Mohali, former Indian skipper Kapil Dev wrote to the Punjab Cricket Association secretary- MP Pandove, asking them to return his 'gifts and memorabilia'.

An e-mail and letter sent by Kapil to the Punjab Cricket Association states, "I came to know through media reports that Punjab Cricket Association has removed my portrait from the Punjab Cricket Association ground at Mohali, for some unknown reasons. Well, it’s your decision and you are free to do whatever you want."

The letter added, "I am concerned about the personal gifts and memorabilia of my cricketing years and also that of the 1983 World Cup cricket tournament, given by me to the Punjab Cricket Association, which are kept at various places at the Mohali ground. I apprehend that now the Punjab Cricket Association may not like to preserve the memorabilia mentioned above any more. I will be really be grateful if the same is returned to me so that I can preserve them since I have personal attachments and I am emotionally attached with all such items, which were used by me personally throughout my cricketing years."

"Therefore, if you are not at all willing to preserve and find it difficult to keep those items or ever think of throwing them out in that case I would really be grateful if the same is returned to me so that I can preserve them. Please do not take it otherwise, it’s only my feelings, emotions and attachments with my things which are so dear to me, " read the letter.


When the poster controversy took place a few days earlier, president of the Punjab Cricket Association, IS Bindra evaded the issue saying that the poster had fallen down due to the wind. He said, "Kapil's poster has been removed from its place. A new extension has been constructed at the PCA Stadium, and we’re just looking for an appropriate place to put up his poster there. As soon as we find a place, we will place it."

Kapil’s alliance with the rebel Indian Cricket League, of which he is the chairman, led to the BCCI sacking him from the National Cricket Academy, stopping his pension, and then stripping his poster from the Mohali stadium.
