blog assignment#45/ The La Times

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.

blog assignment#44/ the BBC

Here are 5 topics

1.Nigeria election: Riots over Goodluck Jonathan win
Riots have broken out across Northern Nigeria as presidential poll results show Goodluck Jonathan is set to win.Homes of supports of Mr. Jonathan, the incumbent, were attacked in the cities of Kano and Kaduna. Young supportors of Muhammadu Buhari, who is popular in the north, have been clashing with police and military. They feel that the elections have been rigged in some areas of the south where there is discrepancy between turnout and results. That is information on this topic.

2. Libya conflict: UK funds to help trapped workers
A man said that funds of £ 1.5m would pay to charter ships to get people out of the rebelheld town of Misurata and provide medical supplies. The minister is in New York attending a UN meeting to discuss the humanitarian situation in Libya. Aid workers and Misurata residents say that the situation is dire. They have reported shortages of food,power,water, and medicine. Forces loyal to Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi intensify their shelling of the city.

3. TeloVac pancreatic cancer vaccine trial launched in UK
More than 1,000 patients with advanced pancreatic cancer have joined the Telo Vac trial at 53 UK hospitals. Vaccines are usually associated with preventing infections. This is part of a new approach to try to stimulate the immune system to fight cancer. The trial involves regular doses of vaccine together with chemotherapy. It also compares this with chemotherapy alone.

Now the juge has ruled the the company may be responsible for wasted costs and ordered a full hearing. Mr. Crossley's lawyers declined to comment.

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.

blog assignment#38/Fav books

Here are my five favorite books.

1. The horse and his boy. I read this book a long time ago and it was awesome. It told about a boy who meets a talking horse and then another talking horse and a runaway princess. They travel together and find out that the boy is really a prince and has another name. It is an awesome story with lots of adventure. That is why I really like it.

2. Voyage of the Dawn Treader. I also read this book a long time ago and it was really cool. 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.
