Countering widespread speculation, "Harry Potter" actress Emma Watson has decided to reprise her role as girl wizard Hermione Granger in the final films of the hit series, Warner Bros. said on Friday.
Along with Watson, Rupert Grint will return as Harry's friend, Ron Weasley, and as previously announced, Daniel Radcliffe signed up to return as boy wizard Harry in the sixth and seventh instalments of the seven-part series.
"I could never let Hermione go -- she is my hero!," Watson said in a statement from the Warner Bros. film studio. "I love her too much and love what playing her has meant to me."
Recent news reports speculated the 16-year-old Watson may not return to the role she originated. Her absence would have been a blow to the millions of fans who love the adventure movies based on the best-selling books by author J.K. Rowling.

"It may be difficult, but it is possible", the words which winners would repeat. It is really possible when people do the best and not giving up plus having the great inspiration.
Congratulations!
On November 2nd, an international expedition team of three men—Charlie Engle (USA), Ray Zahab (Canada), and Kevin Lin (Taiwan)—undertook a quest that no human being has ever fulfilled …
They ran across the Sahara: 4,000 miles (6,437 kilometers), in 111 days.
Each runner brought his own unique story and motivations, but all united around a love for Africa and a profound desire to make a difference in the lives of the people of the Sahara in the best way they knew how—by risking their lives running coast-to-coast across the Sahara Desert to prove that the impossible is possible; and in the process they brought people into a new relationship with the Sahara and its people.
The film, Running the Sahara, chronicles this quest—it's an up-close character-driven documentary that delves deep into the culture of the Sahara through the eyes of three individuals undergoing a life-altering experience. With them, we cross six countries: Senegal, Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Libya, and Egypt. On a daily basis, we interact with the locals, accept their hospitality, and learn about their lives and the challenges they face.
Through this diverse terrain, our runners make their noble quest to bring a new vision of the Sahara and its people to the world—a more accurate vision intended to increase interest and understanding of our fellow humans, an unknowable land, and what each of us is willing to do to make a difference.
These universal themes will make Running the Sahara a film that will appeal to audiences all over the world.

Researchers from China uncovered remarkably preserved remains of the unique creature—an ancient lizard that glided through the air on membranes supported by eight elongated ribs.
Named Xianglong zhaoi, the bizarre animal, as seen in this artist's recreation, lived in treetops during the early Cretaceous period, which began about 144 million years ago.
The animal's 6.1-inch-long (15.5-centimeter-long) skeleton (inset) was found in Liaoning province in northeastern China—complete with superbly preserved imprints of its patagium, or wing membranes. Fully extended, the patagium would have stretched about 4.5 inches (11 centimeters) across.
The animal might also have been surprisingly agile in the air, as its wing features "are close to those in fast-flying birds with great maneuverability," write the researchers in this week's edition of the journal Proceedings of the National Academies of Science. (Related: "Dino-Era Bird Flew With Four Wings, Study Says" [September 28, 2006].)

Mark Rein VP & co-founder Epic Games said, “We wanted to make an entertainment property that’s not just for games but for other media. Our first and foremost philosophy is to do no harm, so we debated heavily the idea of doing a movie at all. But we feel we stacked the deck in our favor by working with the best players.”
Lead designer of Gears of War, Cliff Bleszinski will be the executive producer of the film, while Marty Bowen and will produce the film via their Temple Hill banner. Wyck Godfrey said, “I’m not a gamer, but what blew me away about ‘Gears’ was how it captures the mythology of a war mission and how high the stakes are.”
However, New Line has not disclosed details regarding the director, the cast or when the filming will start. I think WWE wrestler Batista would make a very good Marcus Fenix!

Brit will apparently give K-Fed nearly £10million in the settlement.
A pal told The Sun: "Everything changed when Britney went back into rehab.
"She and Kevin started talking again and he's been a tower of strength for her.

Other rumors have been that Spears was talking with her ex-boyfriend, Justin Timberlake. And to add to list of possibilities is rumors that Jason Filyaw,33, who is also in rehab told TMZ that he loves Britney Spears, but did not confirm that they were actually dating.
According to reports SAWF news, said that Spears was caught “romping” in the bushes with a unknown man at the rehab facilities. She was also reported to have played a game of tennis with him as well, and he is also in rehab himself. After their game they disappeared together, and later was found in the landscaping where security staff separated the two.
Read more!A source told Star magazine that Britney is desperate for Justin Timberlake’s support. Sources told Star "She was hiding in a closet and talking to a guy named Justin, probably Justin Timberlake. She was talking to him about coming to (support her at) a group Alcoholics Anonymous meeting on Wednesday March 7 in Santa Monica. She kept saying "C'mon Justin, please, please, please come!" She was begging him!"
According to rapper Timbaland, Justin is willing to help Britney by recording a single with her when she’s completed her treatment. As for a romantic reunion between the former pop star and the “Sexy Back” singer, Justin is skeptical. Britney’s life is a whirlwind of a mess right now and probably one that Justin would prefer to stay out of for the time being. He’s willing to help her because of their history and the fact that they are still friends.
Whether or not Justin will visit Britney has yet to be confirmed. Justin is more than willing to help her get through this hard time but visiting her at an AA meeting may be where he draws the line.

Harry Potter star Emma Watson has refused to sign up for the last two installments in the series, despite being offered £2m per film to reprise her role as Hermione Granger.
The 16-year-old is said to be tired of her playing Harry Potter's know-it-all pal and wants to try new projects. Matters were not helped last week when a stalker followed her into school and managed to talk to her before being warned off campus. Watson has since been assigned a private bodyguard.
Warner Brothers today issued a statement confirming they were confident Harry Potter star Emma Watson would be returning to the successful franchise.
Reports surface over the weekend that Watson (who plays Hermione Granger) was not planning to return for the final films.
The News of the World reported that co-star Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley, revealed that Watson “doesn't want to do it any more". "She's tired of being known as 'that girl from Harry Potter'," he explained.
Reports also surfaced that Watson wasn’t happy with the amount of attention she received, finding some of the attention particularly unnerving.
However, Warner Bros today issued a statement saying they were confident the British actress would return. "We're extremely confident that Emma will be back for films six and seven," a spokesperson for the film studio said.

Angelina Jolie, Hollywood actress, who just adopted a 3-year-old Vietnamese boy, Pax Thien Jolie, tried For Pax's Visa. She arrived in Hanoi on Monday to complete the final papers in order to take her son home in the US.
The 31-year-old actress flew from Ho Chi Minh City, where she officially adopted Pax from a nearby orphanage, to the country's capital by private jet. She, Pax and Jolie’s older son, Cambodian-born Maddox, arrived at Hanoi's Noi Bai airport late in the afternoon, according to Chu Van Nguyet, deputy director of the airport authority.
She is expected to meet with the US Embassy officials on Tuesday to apply for a visa for the newest member of her family with partner and Hollywood star, Brad Pitt. Once the visa is issued, she can take him home. Jolie is expected to leave Hanoi on Wednesday.
Although she tried to avoid all possible contact with reporters and paparazzi, she was snapped holding Pax in her arms under an umbrella, as she rushed to a VIP room at the airport. According to people inside and outside the Metropole hotel in the city center, she was driven there afterwards.
Apparently Jolie began the adoption process last year, which in Vietnam only takes on average six months. She filed the adoption papers about a month ago as a single parent because the country's regulations do not allow unmarried couples to co-adopt, however single parents are allowed.

This is for those who like to watch stars. These are one of the best photos taken by Hubble space telescope.
Glowing in vibrant colors, planetary nebulae, such as this one, represent the death rattles of dying stars. These nebulae, which are not technically related to planets, are gas clouds forced outward by a dying star. According to NASA, "Hubble's keen 'eye' disclosed that planetary nebulae are like snowflakes: no two are like."

Hi all, we have known that spiders have a very strong weapon to catch their prays. That is spider web. Here are some food for brain on spider silk.
www.nationalgeographic.com
Did you know?
Stronger than bone and twice as elastic as nylon, spider silk has already proven its usefulness to spiders, but now scientists are looking into its potential importance to humans as well. Research is underway around the world to fabricate the tenacious fibers in the lab, and scientists hope to someday outfit soldiers and police in bullet-proof vests made of mass-produced spider silk. Some say spider silk can stop more than just a speeding bullet: Many experts claim that the silk of an orb weaver spider is so strong that a strand as thick as a pencil could stop a jumbo jet in flight.

These are taken from Lembeh Strait in Indonesia. Sea life can be always interesting and beautiful.
Photograph by David Doubilet
Protected in the tall spines of a black sea urchin, dazzling Banggai cardinalfish (Pterapogon kauderni) are newcomers to Lembeh Strait. Native to the Banggai Archipelago, 250 miles (400 kilometers) to the south, they are thought to have been accidentally introduced into the strait by an aquarium-fish exporter, and their population is now exploding.
A fingered dragonet (Dactylopus dactylopus) displays all of its splendid fins. Dragonets skip along the bottom feeding on tiny invertebrates that live in the sand. They belong to a group of fish that lack scales but cover their body in a layer of mucus.
I found this unidentified crab among the tentacles of a branching anemone. It wandered around the base of the miniature rubbery forest of the anemone's tentacles, picking up morsels of food.
Harlequin shrimps (Hymenocera picta) are a rare find in Lembeh Strait. This one is slowly devouring its favorite meal, a sea star, consuming it one leg at a time. Voracious predators, harlequin shrimps often work in pairs to move a star to a secure place, then feast for days or weeks on the living animal.
