James Cameron becomes the first single person to dive to the oceans deepest spot the Mariana Trench. In his custom sub Cameron has delved deep with 3D cameras to bring footage back. Cameron took the time to send out a tweet from the Trench as well

It's interesting to see how people's personal dreams can lead them to do amazing things. James Cameron is make great strides in both science as well as cinema with this deep sea dive. I'm sure the footage brought back will be very interesting.

The Hunger Games movie brings in more than $155 million on the first night. This is the third highest record, coming in behind The Dark Knight and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. 

With all the hype surrounding this movie I can't say i'm surprised, Seemingly out of nowhere everyone was talking about this movie packing the theaters opening night. Defiantly something to check out if you haven't already.

A Texan family plans to sure their school district for banning their daughter with cerebral palsy from using her walker at school. The girl has apparently used to the walker for two years but after a fall with her mother in the parking lot the school no longer feels it is safe. The school wants the girl to switch to a wheel chair while on school property. The mother is outraged claiming the school is being discriminatory and has been unhelpful and has not been understanding of their situation sense day one.

This seems fairly silly and I wonder if their is almost more to the story, for example we don't know how badly if at all the girl was hurt and if there are any other factors in play here. From the information in this article it appears as if the school is simply being unreasonable.

Attention world, you are no longer allowed to have best friends! Well not really but several school seem to think so. In this article several school have banned children picking a single friend as their "best friend" feeling this does not promote a sense of unity and exposes children to potential social fall outs when they inevitably lose that friend in some way.

This is ridiculous, I can't imagine a sillier or harder to enforce rule. How can schools even think this would work. Sure friendships fall apart and friends grow apart, this is just part of life. What's next are they gonna start a petition to ban marriage? that's an exclusive kind of friendship too.

According to this article popcorn is super healthy for you. While this might not actually be the major shocker the original author thought it was I still feel it is worth blogging about! (it's also a slow news day :P) Apparently Popcorn is so healthy because it is one of the few sources of non-processed corn we eat. 

Popcorn is a great snack and it's healthy too. Now we can all not feel quite as bad when we drop $12 on the extra large at the movie theater (until we coat it in synthetic butter that is).

With the close of NASA's projects to sent their own space craft into space american astronauts have had to rely on piggybacking with Russia to get our men and women into space. As a result the US has channeled money into many private companies who are hoping to develop their own ways to get to space. They promise space tourism even peaking the interest of individuals such as Ashton Kutcher.

Space tourism has been talked about for years and seems to be a steadily approaching reality. Personally i think it will be great. A fantastic new market for the United States that could provide benefits for science as private companies strive to send humans farther and farther into pace.

Everyone's favorite app has literally rocketed all the way to space.  Angry Birds Space brings many new features to the beloved franchise including new birds, super powers and countless different ways to play with the gravity of space.

While not a big fan off the game itself or way it has (in the eyes and upturned nose of  'true' gamers) introduced the general public to lesser form of video game. I can truly they've done some impressive things. Going so far as to partner with NASA they have even influenced a children's book to teach about the universe. The games use of a real-world-style physics engine is quite impressive and with the addition of space physics it should introduce some refreshing and quality gameplay.
