Here some information on a book from the NewYork Times best seller list.
I'm about to type about a book callled Game of Thrones. A man who is a friend of the author said that it was terrific and thanks because a friend gave it to him.Now here is some more information on Game of Thrones.
Game of Thrones is filled with seven kingdoms worth of feuding feudal families, complex genealogies, deceptions and betrayals, dragons and mysterious, violent creatures called the Others. Bantam books said that there are more than 4.5million copies of his book. Naturally he takes satisfaction that some,15 years after spurning the entertainment industry for its lack of imagination. A Game of Thrones television series is now days away from debut. As the author Mr. Martin put it , “The project that I thought most unlikely to ever be filmed — the project that was actually unfilmable — is now going to be this big show on HBO. One of the first men to read this book thought that it would be impossible to make and evidently he was wrong. Not only did they make it, it also made on the NewYork Times best sellers list and has been made into a tv show.
Game of Thrones whose first episode will be on next Sunday, is not only a prominent opportunity for Mr. Martin's work to be introduced to a wider audience. But also a bold rejoinder to its creator's skepticism. It is also a crucial and potentially costly test for HBO.

5. Daniel Radcliffe and 'Bengal Tiger' among snubs in Tony nominations. Harry Potter won't be taking home a Tony Award this year. Actor Daniel Radcliffe didn't get great reviews for his high-profile performance in his revival of "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying,". Now the Tonys have agreed, failing to give the young actor a Tony nomination Tuesday morning. This is the second time Radcliffe has been snubbed by the Tony Awards, the first time being in 2009 for his Broadway debut in the play "Equus."
Now here what some of the newspapers are saying about Osama Bin Laden's death. The Los Angeles Times say that his surrender wasn't a likely outcome. An official said that he would have had to been naked. A surrender was possible only if it could be sure the terrorist leader didn't have a bomb hidden under his clothing and that he didn't pose any danger. Now let's see what the Chicago Sun Times have to say about him.
It says that Osama wasn't armed during the U.S. raid. Osama bin Laden was unarmed when he was confronted by U.S. commandos at his Pakistani hideout. Now these newspapers both have very good points. They both say that Osama wasn't armed. That has to be true because that is the only way he got caught. They are different because they both focus on different aspects of Osama's death.

5. 3DS easy to get hooked on. Grown-ups and casual gamers aren't typically the people you see glued to a portable game system from nintendo. But having spent time with the handheld Nintendo 3DS, which goes on sale Sunday, I can envision kids wrestling Mom and Dad for the chance to have a go at Nintendo’s highly anticipated portable player. The 3DS, is fun, addictive and pricey at $250. Especially when you consider its its portable predecessors, the Nintendo DS family, cost $130 to $170.

1. Obama mines California donors
Presiden Obama begans a two day swing through California on Wednesday that underscores conflicting roles the state plays in presidential politics. Its strong Democratic bent means it will once again be written off by both sides during the 2012 general election. The trove of supporters here will once again be mined to bloster Obama's efforts elsewhere. Last time around, California donors gave $78 million to Obama's campaign. Tens of thousands of Californians volunteered, phoning voters and flooding crucial swing states such as New Mexico and Nevada.

Here are some of the ones I liked.
1. Favorite MMORPGs. My first favorite is AQ Worlds. I like AQ Worlds because I can make friends and we can fight monsters together. Second from a boy named Alex is Halo Reach. He likes it because the explosions are awesome. Perfect World was said by a boy named Travis. He likes it because he can transform into an animal and he can fly. AQ Worlds is awesome because the people I interview play that game.
Halo Reach is also awesome too because the game gives you a lot of health. It also uses weapons that do awesome things. I like throwing grenades at people especially when they don't see it coming. Also you can be part of a team. I like being able to shoot people from the sky. I like to run people over with a vehicle. Alex said he likes to see his opponet defeated.
Halo Reach gives you lots of options. You can do a team deathmatch or duel or search and destroy. So that only means more fun. Perfect world has a lot of awesome games to play. There is a game called Rumble Fighters that i like to play. I like playing it because I like fighting all kinds of people. Plus If somebody wants to hold a private one on one match they can do to private match.
So basically these are some awesome MMORPGs. They're all great games so anyone of them would be great to play. They all can be lots of fun to play so I encourage everyone tp play these games. Or at least try them out to see if you like them. Also you can look at the game forum. It will tell you everything about the game and if there is some bad things about it. I personally don't see anything wrong with the game. That is all I have to say about this.
Now I am going to interview people on there favorite videogames. A boy said Assassins Creed Brotherhood. I have that game and it is awesome. The boy said that he liked it because you can fly. In the game you get a parachute, but only after you complete Leonardos missions. A boy named Andrew said his was prototype. He likes that game because the guy in that game can transform into anything.
I played that game and it was a beast. It was one of those awesome games that never get old. A girl named Kayala said that her's is Pokemon Stadium. She likes it because it is fun. I never played that game but I have played other pokemon games and they were awesome. I just got Pokemon Black version. It was awesome because It had tight graphics and it has entirely new pokemon.
Andrew said that he likes prototype because you can absorb people. It is also awesome because the guy you play can fly. He can turn his hands into claws. Also into a whip or a blade. Assassins Creed is awesome because you can do impossible things. Such as jumping from really high hights into hay. Plus you can by armor so strong I got shot 4 times with arrows and dind't die.
Plus you can recruit other assassins and send them on missions until they become master assassins. Master assassins don't die so easily. They also have smoke bombs. They can even do more dangerous missions. Plus if you want to send new assassins into a dangerous mission and want to increase their survival. You can send in a master assassin to help them. That is one of the fastest way to leveling up new assassins.
Lastly, is favorite shows. A boy named Alex said Ed Edd and Eddy. That is a really funny show. I watch that show and it is awesome. It is about three friends named Ed, Edd, Eddy. They go on adventures together throughout the coaldasac.
Eddy tries to scam every kid in the neighborhood. Although it never goes his way and he always ends up getting hurt. Even Edd the smartest one in the gang tells him nothing good is going to happen. Even though Edd or they call him double d makes Eddy's scams. Another favorite show of someone is naruto.

It is about how Lusie, Edward, and their cousin Eustence go through a portrait and get on a ship called the Dawn Treader. They travel to an island where Eustence puts on this ring that turns him into a dragon. It is such an awesome story. I reccomend that everybody reads this.
3. Diary of a Wimpy Kid. I read this book when I was in the third grade. It was awesome because this kid named Greg Heffley talks about his life in Middle School. It is cool because he does a lot of stupid things in that book. It is really funny and gaurenteed to make you laugh. Diary of a Wimpy Kid is awesome.
4. One Piece Vol. 1. One Piece is about a boy named Monkey D. Luffy and his adventure to be king of the pirates. His adventure takes him to strange places that no one has even been to or at least in a thousand years. He meet lots of interesting people and he has an awesome crew and each has their own awesome past and each Luffy helped out. This book has lots of pictures so you can see the action. This one of the most awesomest books ever.
5. Dragonball Vol. 4. Dragonball is about a boy named Goku and his quest to get the seven dragonballs so he can bring his friends' dad back to life. This journey makes him meet the evil Red Ribbon Army people who want the dragonballs for world domination. There's just one thing wrong about that Goku is super strong for being just a kid. You can read this book and see what I'm talking about or you can wacth it at www. DBZ Zone.com. Goku is awesome.

1. Transformers Revenge of the Fallen. I love that movie. It is awesome because it has a load of action. It tells the story about how Sam must revive Optimus to stop megatron. Also I like seeing robots beat each other up using guns. It was so awesome it got to be made into a videogame.
2. Prince of Persia Sands of Time. That was a great movie. It was cool how they could go back in time. Also how he had to run from a horde of ostriches. It was cool how at the end it went all the way to the begining. That was an awesome movie.

#35/My Weekend"
I had a awesome weekend. First I bought a headphone and microphone set for my xbox. Then I bought a videogame called CRACKDOWN 2. I already had crackdown and my friend said that the second one was awesome so I bought it. Then I went home and turned on my xbox.
Then I got on xbox live and talked to my friend Justin. I told him that I just got a headset and that I was going to try it out. At first I was having trouble with it. I read the instructions and did what it said to do. I couldn't figure it out.
Then I unpluged it from my controler. I asked Justin through my Kinect how to make it work. He said did you take it off mute. That's when I realized that I forgot to take it off mute. I felt silly because I was having so much trouble with it just because it was on mute.
Then we played Call of duty: MODERN WARFARE 2 with our friend Ethanater 1002. Sunday I had to watch my little cousin Jordan. My mom took us to Sams and then Walmart. Then at 4 o clock Jordan went home. Then I went over to my friend Arthur's house and, we played Call of duty: MODERN WARFARE 2 against each other. My xbox live gamertag is monkeytyler13
Now here is what I hope to accomplish this year.
1. Get awesome grades
2. Get awesome rewards for those grades
3. Save up $100
4. become stronger
5.become a lot smarter
6. Earn respect
7. prove that I am mature to my older cousins
8. Turn music volume up on the radio
9. become taller
10. Feel good at the end of the school year

blog assignment #34
1.Coldest Star Discovered. Dubbed CFBDSIR 1458 10b, the star is what is called a brown dwarf. Theae oddball obejects are called failed stars, because they have starlike heat and chemical properties but don't have enough mass for the crush of gravity to ignite nuclear fusion at their cores. With surface temperatures hovering around 206 degrees F (97 degrees C), the newfound star is the coldest brown dwarf seen to date. (Related: "Dimmest Stars in Universe Spotted?").
2.Biggest. Rabbit. Ever? . The easter bunny came early this year for a few scientists working on the Spanish island of Minorca. The team has just announced the discovery of Earth's biggest known rabbit species, an oddly unbunny-like giant dubbed Nuralagus rex —"the Minorcan king of the hares."
2.Biggest. Rabbit. Ever? . The easter bunny came early this year for a few scientists working on the Spanish island of Minorca. The team has just announced the discovery of Earth's biggest known rabbit species, an oddly unbunny-like giant dubbed Nuralagus rex —"the Minorcan king of the hares."
The 26-pound (12-kilogram) prehistoric species was about six times bigger than the common European rabbit, found on most continents, according to an analysis of several bones. Study leader Josep Quintana is no stranger to giant Minorcan rabbit fossils, though it took a while before he knew exactly how big a find he'd uncovered.
3. Inside Japan’s Hot Zone. Their faces obscured by breathing masks, workers pore over data in the control room for the now-ruined Unit 1 and Unit 2 reactors at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant on Wednesday. Although some power has been restored to the facility, the workers known as the Fukushima 50 face a difficult job getting pumps and circuits to operate the crucial systems that provide cooling for the reactors and the spent fuel stored on site.

blog assignment#35/Foreign News
Here are some foreign news aricles
1.Anger in Syria over crackdown. Middle East. Around 20,000 syrians chanting freedom slogans marched on Thursday at the funerals of nine protesters who were killed by security gaurds. The nine were among at least 25 people shot dead by security forces on Wednesday. A witness told Al Jazeera that more than 100 people were shot.
2.Libya Live Blog - March 24. Detained government soldiers and suspected mercenaries are kept in a former military prison near Benghazi, now taken over by rebels. Some of the men admit to serving with Gaddafi's forces, but say they had no other choice, but to fire at rebels and civilians during battles for cities in the east of the country. One of the men said that anyone objected they would be killed or burned alive.
3. French jet 'shoots down Libyan plane'
. A French fighter jet has reportedly attacked and destroyed a Libyan plane identified as a trainer aircraft near Misurata, a US official has said.
The AP news agency cited an official as saying the Libyan plane may have been landing when it was attacked by a French Rafael fighter jet enforcing the UN-backed no-fly zone over Libya on Thursday.The incident, which if confirmed would be the first of its kind since the no-fly zone was set up, is still under investigation, the source added.
1.Olympiakos wins 38th league title . Olympiakos clinched its 38th Greek league championship on Sunday by thrashing Aek 6-0 after scoring three goals in each half in front of a delirious home crowd of 33,000.

Rafik Djebbour, who joined Olympiakos from Aek in January after falling out with coach Manolo Jimenez, scored twice with Olof Mellberg, David Fuster, Kevin Mirallas and Iosif Holebas adding a goal apiece in Olympiakos' biggest victory of the season.
2. Secrets & Lies.
A Greek proverb informs us that “Devil has many legs”. So does the truth. As for the accusers of the international campaign against Gaddafi, they are of many stripes.
Yet, despite belonging to totally different corners of the political and ideological spectrum, they do have something in common: the belief that the West acts as a criminal for sending in airplanes against the mercenaries employed by the Libyan regime.
3. Rainfall 'has gone mad'. The absence of water resource management practices and excessive consumption are, according to experts, the main problems in Greece, as the world prepares to celebrate Water Day.
More than 2.8 billion people worldwide face daily problems of quality water availability, while climate change has caused a variety of repercussions on the planet's water reserves. March 28 has been designated by the United Nations as the World Day for Water, and despite the policies applied for conservation and qualitative upgrading of water resources, the outlook remains gloomy.

Blog 32/What's In the News"
Here are some news stories.
1.Gaddafi's air force 'defeated'. Gaddafi: 'We will win' . Apparently a colonel whose name is Muammar Gaddafi British air force no longer exists. A commander says that he was supposed to be over the skies of Libya. They are protecting the people of Libya from rebels.
2. Radiation warning for Tokyo water . Tokyo water 'unfit for babies' due to high radiation. Well what's going on is that when Tokyo was hit by that earthquakw it hit the nuclear power plant and some of the radiation got in the water. So now the babies can't drink out of the tab. Also they have been told to eat certain vegetables for worries about contamination. Aparently children under the age of 1 can't drink from it, but officials say that they would have to drink a lot of it to become ill and there is no immediate health risk.
3.Deadly bombing targets Jerusalem . Deadly bombing targets Jerusalem bus stop. One person died after a bombing at a bus stop in Jerusalem,but more than 20 people are injured. This was in central Jerusalem. The bomb had been left by the side of the rode.
Witnesses said the force of the blast - just after 1500 local time (1300 GMT) - shook buildings over a wide area.

U.S. Ready to Hand Off Libya, But to Whom?. The United States could hand over its leading role in the Libya airstrikes to NATO as early as this weekend, a U.S. official told ABC News, but there is uncertainty over whether NATO will accept that role.
The administration is focused on "an orderly transfer to NATO over the weekend," but there is still concern that the United States will have to carry much of the burden even after -- and if -- NATO takes over, the official said.

Here is information on Japan.
Now a week after a devastating earthquake and tsunami struck Japan, new information is slowly surfacing about the equine population in the areas heavily damaged by the natural disasters.Currently, we still have intermittent earthquakes elsewhere in northeastern Japan, and above all, what is happening now. In Fukushima nuclear power plants is still unclear--so indeed, everyone in our horse industry is still tensed up," said Fumiaki Mizobe, DVM, of the Japan Racing Association.
Mizobe explained that although no horses or farms on the island of Hokkaido suffered major damage from the earthquake or tsunami, some horses have been moved further inland to assure their safety. Additionally, he added, none of the training farms in Miyagi, Fukushima, and Iwate regions reported injuries to their horses; however, some suffered structural damage to their facilities.
"On account of the radiation leak caused by the explosions at Fukushima nuclear power plant. Some of the training farms decided to move their horses to other areas (for safety reasons)," Mizobe noted. He added that several riding clubs in the Fukushima prefecture evacuated their horses from the area to comply with Japanese government evacuation instructions. In connection with the radiation leaks at the Fukushima nuclear plant.He also noted that most of the training and breeding farms have enough stockpiled feed for their horses at present.
However, news from the Miyagi prefecture--one of the worse-hit regions--is not as positive. Mizobi explained that three riding clubs in the region were "submerged in the tsunami."
"Thirty-three riding horses belonging to these riding clubs were rescued," he noted. "But four horses were reported dead, and at least 18 horses were reported missing." 'We are very relieved that there have been no reports of any injuries to our employees,' said Ken Joyce, Amkor's president and chief executive officer. 'We express our sympathies to the victims of the earthquake and tsunami, as well as to our Japanese colleagues and the nation as a whole.' The Kitakami facility is currently closed due to power supply interruptions and plans are underway to restore production capabilities at the site when power, gas and water supplies, and transportation systems are stabilized. The Kitakami facility is Amkor's smallest operation in both units and revenue, generating approximately $10 million to $11 million of monthly sales prior to the earthquake.
The Kitakami facility only provides services to a few Japan-based customers. We are working closely with these customers to assess and support their requirements in light of the earthquake's impact on their operations.Japan is a major supplier of semiconductors, silicon wafers, specialty chemicals, substrates, equipment and other supplies to the electronics industry, and the industry is currently evaluating the potential effect of the earthquake on the overall supply chain for electronics. Since the earthquake, we have been in close communication with our customers, suppliers and OEMs to analyze the situation and evaluate alternative sources of supply where appropriate. Like many companies in the semiconductor industry supply chain, we operate with multiple suppliers from different geographic regions. This diversification is intended to help mitigate any potential disruptions from events such as these. However, it is too early to comment on the broader impact the earthquake may have on the electronics industry and our business and operations.
About Amkor Amkor is a leading provider of semiconductor assembly and test services to semiconductor companies and electronics OEMs. More information on Amkor is available from the company's SEC filings and on Amkor's website: www.amkor.com.
The Japanese "shindo" scale for measuring earthquakes is more commonly used in Japan than the Richter scale to describe earthquakes. Shindo refers to the intensity of an earthquake at a given location, i.e. what people actually feel at a given location, while the Richter scale measures the magnitude of an earthquake, i.e. the energy an earthquake releases at the epicenter. The shindo scale ranges from shindo one, a slight earthquake felt only by people who are not moving, to shindo seven, a severe earthquake. Shindo two to four are still minor earthquakes that do not cause damage, while objects start to fall at shindo five, and heavier damage occurs at shindo six and seven.Every household should keep a survival kit with a flashlight, a radio, a first aid kit and enough food and water to last for a few days.
Avoid placing heavy objects in places where they could easily fall during an earthquake and cause injury or block exits. Have a fire extinguisher. Familiarize yourself with the designated evacuation area in your neighborhood.
Falling objects, toppling furniture and panic present the greatest dangers during an earthquake. Try to protect yourself under a table or doorway. Do not run outside, and try to remain as calm as possible. If you are in the streets, try to find protection from glass and other objects that may fall from surrounding buildings. After a strong earthquake, turn off ovens, stoves and the main gas valve.

blog assignment # 29/Facebook
Here is some information on Facebook. Facebook is a social network service and site. It was launched in February 2004, it is privately owned by Facebook Inc. As of January 2011 Facebook has more than 600 million active users. Users can have a personal profile and add other users as friends. You can exchange messages, including automatic notifications when you update your profile. Additionally, users may join common interest groups.
Organized by workplace, school, or college, or other characteristics. The name of the service stems from the colloquial name for the book given to the students at the start of the academic year. By the university administrations in the USA to help student get to know each other better. Facebook allows anyone who declares themselves to be 13 years old to become a registered user of the website. Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg with his college roomates and fellow computer science students. Their names were Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes. The website's membership was initially limited by the founders to Harvard students.
However it was expanded to other colleges in the Boston area. The Ivy league and Stanford university became part of it. It gradually added support for students at various other universities before opening to high school students. Then it finally came down to anyone 13 or over. In January 2009 compete.com ranked facebook as the most used social network service by monthly active users. Entertainment Weekly put it on its best-of-the-decade best of list. Quantcast estimates Facebook has 135.1 million monthly unique U.S. visitors in October 2010.
According to Social Media Today, in April 2010 an estimated 41.6% of the U.S, had a Facebook account. Mark Zuckerberg wrote Facesmash the predeccesor to Facebook on October 28,2003. According to Harvard Crimson, it was compared to hot or not. To accomplish this, Zuckerberg hacked into the protected areas of Harvards computer network. Harvard at that time did not have a student facebook. Facesmash attracted 450 visitors. Now let me tell you something else about facebook.
It also has some bad things about it. I mean so far I've only told you good things. Now let me tell you some bad things. First, when you accept someone's friend request you can see the picture they posted. Some people might post inapropiate pictures on facebook. Another is when you you put something on facebook it never goes away so be careful. Lastly do not tell anyone know any personal things about you, and if anyone ask immedately block them for your own safety.
