Recently the Arkansas Razorback football team fired John L. Smith and have been on the hunt for a new one. Recruter Nick Saban has been scouring the country since the end of the football season and has interviewed the likes of Les Miles and Bret Bilema.
Les Miles would be coming from LSU our biggest rival. Its no doubting he is a good coach because year
after year its a struggle between the two big schools.
Bret Bilema is coming from Wisconsion. This year he took Wisconsion to the Rosebowl it was his third consecutive Rosebowl. He also grew up on a pig farm.

Apple Shake-Up Could End Real-World Images
The New York Times, one of the biggest news papers in the country, states in its article "Apple Shake-Up Could End Real-World Images" thatwith the death of Steve Jobs comes the end to the real world look of the arangements and styles of the apple products.
- The fine linen background of the pull down screen could be changed to a more modern style. The New York Times states " Whether they realize it or not, all of those who swipe a finger down from the top of the iPhone’s screen to check for notifications are bearing witness to a big sore point within Apple. There, behind a list of text messages, missed phone calls and other updates, is a gray background with the unmistakable texture of fine linen."
- When Mr. Jobs died and Mr. Forstall was fired went with them was the nice real world backgrounds that they both favored over the modern styles. The New York Times states "...the change also represents the departure of the most vocal and high-ranking proponent of the visual design style favored by Mr. Jobs", the deceased creator of Apple INC.

Book review of Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets
J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets kept me glued to the pages with its interesting story line and its fast pace.
The theme, reliance on a community appears often throughout the book. I feel that J.K. Rowling is trying to send a very important message to her readers through this book and that message would be that as long as you have a couple real close friends you will have someone that has your back through thick and thin. To support this statement here are some examples from the book. Ron, Harry's best friend, is always there to help Harry if ever the need should arise no matter if it involves possibly getting expelled from Hogwarts, the school they attend. Hermione on the other hand is also there to help Harry but in a more conserved manner, because she is just getting to were she will break a few rules to help him but for the most part she is trying to keep him and Ron out of trouble.
J.K. Rowling's style of writing brings you into the story so deeply and keeps you there that it is hard to put the book down. I enjoy books with this kind of style because it makes it seem as though time has stopped to allow you to read. A hundred pages go by and it seems to only have been ten minutes but it has been twenty or thirty minutes. The tension in style of the book keeps the reader hanging on to every word of every page in the book.
The author does an amazing job of making Ron, Hermione, Harry, and all of the other characters seem as tho if you went to London you could very well bump into one of them, because she gives a lot of background knowledge to the reader on the main characters lives. I like the characters of Harry, Hermione, and Ron. Harry, because he is picked on throughout the book but stands up for himself no matter what. Hermione seems to try to control the chaos which is her's, Harry's, and Ron's life at Hogwarts with as much trouble they get into. Ron has the tendency to blow up in people's face's if they make fun of him, Harry, or Hermione.
This would be a great read for anyone who enjoys suspenseful fiction books, but I feel that it is best to wait until your in junior high or you just might not understand this book.

ATTACK ON AMBASSADOR IN LIBYA
- This article is trying to inform us that the attack on the Libyan Embassy was premeditated to coincide with the eleventh anniversary of 9/11. The Libyian president of the national congress stated on CBS's "Face the Nations" that the attack was timed to coincide with the attack on 9/11.
- The extremist showed up with RPGs (Rocket Propelled Grenades).
- I agree that this attack was probably premeditated.

THE NEW WORLD TRADE CENTER
The World Trade Center Four could be a symbol saying you can knock us down once but we will come back stronger and bigger than ever.- The new WTC is going to be the tallest building in America and the concrete used around the elevators, pipes, communication wires, and all the vital structures is three foot thick icrete.
- This building is making a statement that terrorist can win one battle, destruction of the twin towers, but there's no way they could possibly win the war we're just to strong of a country.
