AVATAR

Avatar is the story of an ex-Marine who finds

himself stuck in an alien planet filled with strange
life forms. As an Avatar, a
human mind in an alien
body, he finds himself stuck
between two worlds, in a
desperate fight for his own
survival and that of the
local people.

More than a decade in

the making, Avatar shows
Cameron's return to
directing since doing so in
1997's Titanic, the highest
profiting film of all time and
winner of eleven Oscars
including Best Picture.

WETA Digital, renowned for its work in The

Lord of the Rings Trilogy and King Kong, will join
with new CGI technologies to transform the
environments and characters into photo-realistic
3D imagery that will make the audience feel that
they’re in into the alien world rich with
imaginative creatures and characters.

Elimination Chamber is another main event like Backlash,
Wrestle Mania, Summer Slam & all the others. The Elimination
Chamber is made entirely out of 2 miles of chain & 10 tons of
steel. So when the wrestlers through each other against the
chains it’s going to leave a mark (don’t worry it’s only fake.) The
Elimination Chamber is on the 21st February 2010. It contains
some brutal matches that include Diva’s (I feel sorry for them.)
The matches contain 6 wrestlers. Here are the matches:

WWE Championship: Sheamus vs. Randy Orton vs. John Cena

vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Triple H vs. Ted DiBase

World Heavyweight Championship: Undertaker vs. Rey

Mysterio vs. John Morrison vs. Chris Jericho vs. Cm Punk vs. R
Truth

Divas Championship: Gail Kim vs. Maryse

Those are the matches that are going to be held in that chain
cage. It is very dangerous so may I ask that if you watch WWE,
Please Don’t Try This. Anyway, here are the rules of the
Elimination Chamber:

>Two Superstars will start the match off while the other four are enclosed in glass pods.
>At the right times, a pod will open at random, allowing a Superstar to enter the match.
>This will continue until all the Superstars have been released.

>A man is eliminated by a pinfall or a submission only.

>The last man standing is the winner.
US skier Lindsey Vonn to use hi-tech suit at Olympics
United States skiing sensation Lindsey Vonn expects to wear a
new ultra-fast suit at next month's Winter Olympics.
The polyester suit from US firm Spyder could shave hundredths of a
second off times - vital in skiing, where such margins could decide
Olympic medals.
"The guys were in Switzerland two weeks ago doing some testing and
they said things went well," said Vonn after her fifth World Cup downhill
win in a row.
The US and Canadian teams will have use of the suits at the Vancouver
Games. The International Ski Federation (Fis) is understood to have
given the design initial approval at recent tests, and Vonn will be among
the first to adopt the suits after the 2010 Winter Games begin in Canada
on 12 February. Vonn said she was searching for 'the
"I've heard great things about them and that they are exceptionally tiniest advantage' on the slopes

fast," said Vonn, 25, who leads the World Cup series as defending champion.
"We are looking for all the help we can get and I'm looking forward to trying it on.
"It won't change the way I ski, but if I get an extra couple of a hundredths off thanks to the suit, then great."
The development of ultra-fast suits in skiing carries echoes of similar technological advances in swimming
since the Beijing Olympics in 2008.
Dozens of swimming world records were broken in 2009 after the introduction and widespread adoption of
100% polyurethane suits.
Swimming's world governing body, Fina, subsequently banned the designs despite initially giving them their
blessing, and the suits have been illegal since the beginning of January 2010. Many swimmers have called for
world records broken in the suits to carry asterisks pointing out the technology used, and skiing organisers will
pray their sport's record books do not descend into similar chaos.
Vonn, meanwhile, continues to dominate the women's field without the use of the new suit, racking up her
second win in two days and eighth of the season earlier on Saturday. At the Italian resort of Cortina
D'Ampezzo she was 0.42 seconds ahead of Germany's Maria Riesch in the downhill, with Sweden's Anja
Paerson and Nadja Kamer of Switzerland tied for third another four-tenths of a second behind.
The victory saw Vonn go level with her childhood heroine and former US ski racer Picabo Street, who won five
downhill races on the trot in the 1994/5 season.
"Picabo Street was my idol when I was a youngster, I did not know of her records," said Vonn.
"To win five races is not as easy as that. You have to stay in top form.
"There is a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes. It is very hard both mentally and physically."

Summary:
United States skiing sensation Lindsey Vonn expects to wear a new Polyester ultra-
fast suit from Spyder at next month's Winter Olympics. This Suite can shave
hundredths of a second off times for a medal. The US and the Canadian teams will use
these suits. These Suits are similar to the swimming suit which has been used in
Beijing 2008. Many swimming records have been broken with this suit in 2009.
Hyena cubs born in UAE's Sir Bani Yas Island

The births are of particular significance

to the UAE as the striped hyena is
extinct in the UAE.

Abu Dhabi: Two striped hyena cubs

have been born on Sir Bani Yas Island
following a breeding programme that is
part of Abu Dhabi's Desert Islands
Destination campaign.

The births, announced on Tuesday, are The hyenas roam freely in the 4,100 hectare Arabian
of particular significance to the UAE as Wildlife Park on Sir Bani Yas Island along with cheetahs,
antelopes and gazelles.
the striped hyena is extinct in the UAE
and is classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as 'near
threatened' worldwide.

IUCN is the official body who monitor the status of nature and wildlife across the world.
These are the first hyenas to be born wild in the UAE for many years.

Phiri and Arnold, the parents of the cubs, were themselves raised by conservation staff in
breeding centres and relocated to Sir Bani Yas Island in 2008 as part of a conservation
programme after being taught to be self-sufficient in order to survive in the wild.

The hyenas released from the breeding centre roam freely in the 4,100-hectare Arabian
Wildlife Park on Sir Bani Yas Island along with cheetahs and some 4,000 antelopes and
gazelles.

Naming: Suggestions welcome

To help increases awareness of the plight of the hyenas, Desert Islands invites people from
around the world to suggest names for the cubs via the island's website. Desert Islands hopes
that many people will log on to the wildlife blog, which is run by the conservation staff;
www.desertislands.com and at the same time learn about the hyenas and other endangered
animals on the island.

Both cubs are healthy and visitors to the island may soon be able to see them roaming
around the Arabian Wildlife Park. The striped hyena is the second largest hyena species after
the spotted hyena and is smaller in stature than the brown hyena.

Hyenas are medium-sized animals with a pointed muzzle, long bushy black-and-white tails,
pointed ears and five to nine vertical stripes on the flanks. The clearer black transverse and
horizontal stripes are on the legs. Males weigh between 26 and 41 kilogrammes while
females weigh between 26 and 40 kilogrammes.
